some Ring.

Several friends of John e Graham
gave him a banquet Tuesday
night, as farewell testimonial

Brown and there were present,
besides the host and hostess and
Mr.. Graham, Dr.. Rowland Gil
more, Dr.. Phinney, J. F. George,
G. M. Bacon, Matt Phibbs and
Emil Schneider. Whist was
played by the party and a gen

An elegant repast was served
by Mrs. Brown, Of which the fol-
lowing was the menu: Chicken

parsley sauce; stuffed olives,
celery; mashed potatoes, stewed
tomatoes, baked sweet potatoes,
squash; potato salad, scslloped

During the evening, the party
presented Mr.. Graham with a
solid gold ring, set with rubies,

questions @
Mr.. Graham was much affected
by the gift, although it was pre-
sented in a joking manner by in
innate friends who feel keenly
his departure from Bemidji to
make his home elsewhere. He
has always been closely associat-
ed with the "boys" and he will
be missed from his place in the
"circle. -3

Maps and the Health.

Prolonged 'sforty winks'' during the
day are severely condemned by many
doctors on the ground that they affect
ones regular sleep. Scientists have
found that in the ordinary course in
the human being there is the greatest
vitality between 10 a. m. and 2 p. m.
and the least between 2 o'clock and 6
o'clock in the morning. Long sleeps
during the day interfere with this or
der Of nature and sometimes affect va
rious organs causing headache. The
nap Of forty winks, but only forty,
proves refreshing to many because it
is too short to have any injurious con-
sequences.-Le.sGonT Telegraph.

The Swiss Fourth Of Iu1v

Aug. l is the Swiss Fourth of July,
the national fete day. A traveller tells
how he helped to celebrate it one year
at one of the climbing centers in the
Ealais by eating the sumptuous dinner
provided by the hotel without ext"a
charge, applauding the fireworks dis
play and bonfire lighted high on the
mountain side and shouting ''Hourra!'
at the end OF patriotic speech extoll

present republican democracy Of Swift

strange sequel. The orator Of the oc

visitor in the place, was appealed to
as one who would certainly know the

A Confusion OF. Names.

Although Scotia is now known to
mean Scotland, it once was the name
Of Ireland. Two centuries before the
birth of Christ Ireland was known to
the Greeks as Juvenca. Caesar called
it Hibernia, as did also Ptolemy in his
map of that island. 1t is said the
Phoenicians first gave Ireland the name
Of Hibernia, meaning thereby utmost
or last habitation," for beyond that
land westward the Phoenicians never
extended their voyages. Toward the
decline of the Roman empire the coun-
try began to be called Scotia, name
retained by the monastic writer's until
the eleventh century, when the name
Scotia, having passed to modern Scot
land, the ancient name of Hibernia be-
gan to be again used. ~.

To Cure Snoring.

speech on snoring. I remember that it
ended with these words: To cure
snoring, 1t is advised that piece of

snorer. The oil in the soap will @lubri-

be applied with caution; otherwise the

Do Books Spread Contagion?

The Public Library Board of Chi
cago became much agitated recently
over the possibility of books spread
ing contagious diseases, and SO put
a special committee to work in the
subject. The chairman of this COM
mittee was a celebrated scientist,
and when the committee reported the
doctor had several glass tubes con-
tanning various germs obtained from
the books. Out OF the fifty examined
not one was free from them. The
unanimous opinion was that books
undoubtedly spread contagion.
This is fact which may well mako
us serious, for though it is not neces-
sary that we should allow our chill
dren to take books from a public
library, still in many states the use
of second hand school boots is gen
eral. In Kentucky, for instance, Sec
ond hand books have found their way
into every school and so have small
pox and other contagious disease.
Scarcely a county in the ste tie has es-
capped the ravages of this disease, and
in most cases the manner of it's ap-
proach is mysteriously UNKNOWN.
Public spirited medical men in Gin
cinnati declare the indiscriminate use
of second hand school books is a con,
slant menace to the public health. As
evidence they cite innumerabls m.
stances where contagion has resulted
from books exposed to infectious dis
eases, sometimes after a period OF 50
years. Books are considered one OF
the best natural cultures known for
disease germs, and no mode of steril-
ization will cleanse them. This fact
has long been r. cognized by health
experts Where books have been ex.
posed even to the atmosphere Of
rooms in which there was contagion
present they have been promptly de-
strOyed.
The dealers, to do them justice,
have all their books disinfected. But
though the outside Of books may be
thoroughly disinfected, the germ may
be within between the leaves and re-
main unframed. To thoroughly flu
migate it would be necessary to sub
ject each leaf to the process, which
would naturally take SO much time
and be so expensive that it would be
cheaper to buy new books than to
sterilize an old one.
