family having always been known
for their kindness and hospitality
towards their friends, was not
lacking on this occasion. Guests
responding to the invitation num-

roast chicken and beef together
with the many other delicacies came
from the kitchen while preparations
for a sumptous dinner were going
on. The table was fairly grooming
under its heavy weight of goodies,
as the guests partOOk Of the bOunte-
Gus repast which only a hostess like
theirs knows how to prepare; music
rare and sweet was furnished by
Miss Mary Adams in the afternoon.
After supper the guests departed
for their homes, each one declaring
they had never had more pleasant
and enjoyable time than on this oc-
casion, and hoping they might meet
again under the same roof in the
future.
The basket soc1able given at the
Elmdale school last Friday proved a
success. Proceeds amounted to
over $40. Prizes were awarded in
the guessing contest as follows:
Miss Mary Adams won, Miss Mary
Udelhofen as tallest lady and Miss
Althea Williams as the shortest
lady; all had very pleasant time.
Miss Mary Udelhofen of Sioux

AS he neared the gate, which is some forty feet from the house, it is claimed that Pipkin said, "l hear you have been talking about me-" Hudgins replied, If you have come here to quarrel, Tom, l am go- ing in," and turned to go back to the house.

THE MORNING BATH.
Conditions Under Which It Should
 Not Re Taken Cold.

Cold baths in the morning are un- doubtedly beneficial, but only to those persons who have sufficient vital ener- gy and nervous force to insure good reaction with no subsequent languor or lassitude. Many persons who are great ly refreshed by their morning bath feel tired or languid two or three hours aft CT it. When this occurs it is conclusive evidence that the practice is harmful. Persons who have an abundance of blood and flesh, who are lymphatic or sluggish in temperament and whose nervous force is not depleted, can take cold morning bath to advantage Others who are inclined to be thin. whose hands and feet become cold and clammy on slight provocation, who di gest food slowly and assimilate it with difficulty, who are nervous and who have much on their minds should avoid early morning cold bathing. For such the bath before retiring at night is rec commended, as it should be followed by rest of brain and body till eQuable con- ditions of circulation are re-established. Some persons who are weak in nerve power have such excitable nerves that they get at once a perfect reaction from cold bathing. but lose in after ef- fleets more than the value of the bath. This class of individuals should not bathe too often and should always use tepid water, choosing the time prefer. ably before retiring

AMAZING IGNORANCE.

Pending the discussion of the pure food bill in the senate recently Sena- tor Lodge professed his ignorance of what was meant by bead on whicky and none of the other senators was able or willing to enlighten him. Senator Spooner, whose home is in Milwaukee, even resented the intima ton that he has any familiarity with beer.
 There are few people ill this region who will believe that Senator Joe Blackburn could not have given the Massachusetts senator the informa- tion he sought. says an exchange, and the Hon. James B. McCreary should have been equally able to enlighten him. Before the recent senatorial election in Kentucky Mr. Blackburn would not have suffered his state to rest under the aspersion that such ignorance in her senators implied.
 But because the grave and reverend senators were unable to define what was meant by the bead on whisky it does not follow that they are ac- qrainted with other attributes of the liquid. An intimate knowledge of technical terms is not always indis- pensable to proper understanding of the subject. Gen. Bedford Forrest, for example, did not know what a redoubt was, but there were no re- doubts built that he could not take. The case of the senators was probably similar

A Queer Proceeding,

The oldest temperance society in the world is the abstaining commune n Achlyka, in Siberia, all of whose mem bers are strict teetotalers every day in the year except one Regularly on the 1st day of September, year after year, all the adult members of the commune assemble in the parish church, and ev- cry one takes a solemn VOW before the altar to drink no wine, beer or spirits from the morrow" of the following day for the whole year. The clause from the morrow" is introduced in order to give them a reward for their virtues in the shape of q whole day ot drunken carnival. As soon as they
 leave the church they begin to indulge in a horrible bacchanalian drinking. which continues throughout the day. until neither man nor woman ill the viii lage is sober This is naturally follow ed by considerable physical suffering and then by mental remorse, whereup- on the penltent parish enters upon it's twelyemonth of model sobrety, and ali live like the Rechabites Some students imagine that this queer proceeding may be prehistoric tribal custom.

RUss,A's SAFE STEP.

The czar of Russia has issued ms ukase for the convening cf the Ma. tional assembly on May 10, thus g1V- ;no Russia "a constitutional mon archy." The Czar and Count Wltte $ efforts toward representative government meets with the pronounced opposition of the ultra conservatives on the one hahu and the extreme radicals on the other, as might be expected. However, the middle classes are satisfied, and there is a general opinion, shared outside o1 Russia. that the Czar has given to his neople the safest and best govern ment at this time that they are cap- able of understanding and appreciat' ing.
 To attempt a real democracy at this time would be madness, for the mass es who would become the ruling pow CT are utterly unfit for the responsi- bility. That much has been manifest from the beginning of the present movement. A people unatle to agree upon a coherent plan of revolution are unable to organize a government or even to maintain it if it were furn- ished ready made. Millions of the Russians are too benighted to compre- bend popular government. They are less fit for it than the emancipated negroes of the south were i'll 1865. There are many intelligent and force full people among the middle classes and these are capable of discharsing the trust but for the most part the peasants are mass of sOdden and stunted humanity Their condition is pitiable, and they have the whole worlds sympathy but for the present they must be content with freedom and the chance to grow into real man. hood.
 A ''constitutional parliamentary monarchy" is a vast Improvement up on the autOcracE which has ruled Russia. The phrase means a govern ment by parliament and a parliament constituted by (ha intelligent classes of the people. IL means the making of laws by representative assembly. It means the end of the Cars imper- ial will
 With this beginning, the way is well opened for progressive liberalism that Will lead finally to real demo- cracy

Hippocrates is looked upon by anat- omists as the father of the science. He died in 377 B. c. The modern sci- ence began in Italy in the thirteenth century. The first anatomical plates, designed to show the size and relative position of the bodily organs, were pre- pared and colored by Titan. All the great painters and sculptors have been careful students of anatomy. Michael Angelo, Raphael and Leonardo da Yin. ci were noted for their anatomical re searches.
