The Transition From the Festive
Board of Primitive Man.
The first dining table was probably
just block of stone or log of wood.
but even primitive man must soon
have discovered that these devices did
not provide for the comfortable dis
posal of his legs and have set about
taxing all his ingenuity to invent some
thing else 1t is probable that as the
result of his cogitations a rough hewn
piece of board supported on two big
stones came into fashion among the
elite IN these far prehistoric times.
The early trestle table which was
used in the beginning of the fifteenth
century consisted of a parallelogram Of
wood, fashioned into a board, resting
upon two or more pedestal-like sup
ports. And we have a Renaissance of
this movable kind of table in the ex-
preston, "a seat at the board" today,

very curious and interesting old mar

Upon the completion of the ceremony

an emblem of their intermingled love

about the inscription.
In some cases, therefore, the initials

What Do They Cure?

The above question is often asked con-
corning DIR. Pierce's two leading medi-
zines, wGolden Medical Discovery" and
rFavorite Prescription"
The answer is that "Golden Medical
Discovery is most potent Alternative or
blood-puritier, and tonic or invigorator
and acts especially favorably in a cura-
tive way upon all the mucous lining sur
faces, as OF the nasal passages, throat,
bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and
bladder, curing a large per cent. Of catar-
rhal cases whether the disease affects the
nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bron-
CHA, stomach Gas catarrhal dyspepsia },
bowels as mucous diarrhea), bladder,
uterus or other pelvic organs. Even In
the chronic or LUCRATIVE stages of these
affections, it is often successful In Affect
ing cures.
The Favorite Prescription Is advised
for the cure of one class of diseases-those
peculiar weaknesses, arrangements and
Irregularities incident to women only. 1t
is powerful yet gently acting invigorat-
ing tonic and nervine. For weak worn

zeal authors, whose works are consulted
by physicians of all the schools Of practice
as guides in prescribing, say OF each in
gredent entering into these medicines.
The words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writers should
have more weight than any amount of
non professional testimonials, because
such men are writing for the guidance of
their medical brethren and know whereof
they speak.
Both medicines are ncn-alcoholic, nom

MAGIC AND RELIGION.

Civilization.
In west Africa the belief in a new
birth without loss of identity is proved
by the fact that when baby arrives
in a family it is shown a selection Of
small articles belonging to deceased
members. and the thing which the
child catches hold of Identifies him as
''Uncle John" or Cousin Emma" and
so forth. 50 far as this belief prevails
IL is held by some that garments once
worn or other objects which have been
in intimate contact with a human be-
ing are penetrated by his personality
and remain. as it were. united with
him for good or ILL.,
In nearly all stages of civilization
now to be found in the world what we
call supernatural beings were concern
ed with the initiation of the magician.
The schism between magic and reli-
gion was later development of civ
ilization. When it occurred, as the
history Of heresy in Europe and the
witch trials teach it was rather magic
in its antisociai aspect than in itself
which was reprobated and punished.
1t is strange in this connection to no
tice that the magician was only CON
demned when he departed from estab-
lished custom and established beliefs
which involved a severance from the
community and an imputation Of anti
social ends. Practices essentially mag
ical might be incorporated in religious
rites and exercised for what was be-
heved TO be the general good In such
case they have continued to be ex-
ercised with general assent in the high

Hickory Tees.

1t is rather pity that our hickories
should receive highest appreciation
from us when they are yielding up
their substance in roaring flames in our
fireplaces. For nowhere In the forest
world can we find a genus Of trees
that Is, as whole, more attractive
and valuable than the genus hicoria
Most of the hickories are beautiful In
summer when their glossy foliage is al
its best. In autumn this foliage turns
the color of uncoined gold, and when
bare of leaves there is revealed an
oaklike twist to the branches which
makes these trees most picturesque
and beautiful objects in the winter
landscape. We have never made as
much commercially of the nuts as we
might we'll have done. Our Indian
predecessors knew how to make q
most attractive beverage from them,
and the early settlers pressed from
them an oil that was a luxury. The

AS POLICEMAN.
ONE OF THE DUTIES OF THE GRANGE
SUGGESTED.

1. should See That Laws Affecting
Farmers Interests Are Enforced.
Instances Cited In Michigan.
Every well informed member of the
Order of Patrons of Husbandry Is
aware of the fact that among its earli-
est achievements was the enforcement
of laws in the central western states
against sharpers who claimed royalties
on slide gates and driven wells. These
royalties amounted to about $40 on
each gate or well, and while the claims
We're believed to be unjust and without
foundation most farmers would pay
the SO rather than fight the matter In
the courts. At this point the grange
stepped in and took the farmers part
and with grange funds prosecuted
test case, won the suit and stopped the
blackmail 1t was an instance of what
the grange could do as policeman, and
it did it because it had the interests of
the farmer at heart
Michigan grange paper thinks that
there are still opportunities for the
grange to do police work and cites two
or three instances In one county in
Michigan a peculiar state of affairs Is
disclosed. The county treasurer has
large amount of funds In hand which
the law requires him to apportion every
three months among the townships, but
instead of doing so he puts 1t In bank
in which he is financially interested.
he tells the farmer supervisors when
they ask him why he does not comply
with the law that they are a lot of
blockheads and when they ask him to
examine his books says that he does
not keep any and that he will appor-
ton the money when he gets ready.
Now, as mandamus proceedings would
cost about 500 and as there are not
many farmers who care to pay 500 to
vindicate a principle nothing is done
to bring this public servant to justice.
Our contemporary suggests that the
state grange might very well act as q
policeman in this case.
Another instance in Ohio relates to
a two cent fare between stations in
that state Michigan has the same law,
but the railroad running from Adrian
to Toledo charges cents per mile,
claiming that the two stations "are not
within the state" but are in two differ
ent states. A complaint to the inter-
state commission might induce some
action in the matter, but no private in
diyidual seems to have interest enough
to do 1t. Here again the grange police
man might step in and endeavor to Sc
cure Justice
There Is mo- doubt that the grange has
certain duties along this line and to
take the aggressive In enforcing laws
which bear upon the farmers interests,
but In those cases where farmers are
not directly interested 1t would be quite
as well to let others perform the police

Have we ever stopped to think how
our ancestors two or three generations
back lived and f1ourished with little or
no ventilation in their sleeping apart
ments? The night air used to be con-
sldered a very dreadful menace to
health and sure inducer of colds.
Bedrooms were kept closely shut, and
yet our ancestors, many of them, were
harder than we and lived to good old
ages. Animals burrow In their holes
at night, breathing the same air over
and over again, while birds and fowls
tuck their heads under their wings. OF
course ventilation is absolutely neces-
sary for proper comfort, cleanliness
and health, but people have lived on
little or none of it for hundreds and
thousands of years.
