The Idle Sinners.
IOWA

NC s0iC oi'hS'S'
Every once in awhile the action OF
some young man who is enjoying a
princely income brings to mind the
thought that money ill-spent inevita
bly, brings disaster to the spender
The idle rich, whose sole idea is to
amuse themselves, are curses In
community. They bring themselves
to premature graves, but long before
their deaths they are old in sin, and
are so satiated with Illicit pleasure
that they find no enjoyment in any
thing, and, like Sir Charles Cold
stream in the play of Used Up,
there is nothing for them to see with
establishment. Their constant cry is,
There is nothing in it," and they try
to stimulate their jaded appetites with
excuses that are suggestive OF tho
declining Pagan days of Greece and
Rome. Go to any of our fashionable
watering places in the height of the
season and you will find many indo-
lent rich men whose faces express
sensuality and a vague longing for
a new sensation. Their fathers prob,
ably toiled hard for the money they
are throwing away in trying to enjoy
themselves with base amusements. 1t
would have been a mercy If few
years earlier they had been deprived
of their princely incomes. They
might then have been of some use
in the world. Now they are simply
membranes. There is no breeder
of vice like laziness, and this applies
to all classes of young men, the poor
az we'll as the rich, for all the vicious
youth are not to be found among the
rich, says the Boston Budget. Some
of them come from the homes of pow
erty, and they rely upon poor rela-
lions for support when they do not
become common thieves. Both the
classes mentioned are demoralizing
in the examples they set, and If they
could be packed off together to some
island in the sea, where they would
have to work or starve, they might
develop into something human and
less brutal.

Aliases of the Great.

Some investigator of curious sub
jects has discovered that the inventor
OF travelling incognito was Peter the
Great of Russia. The next after the
famous Russian sovereign to adopt
the practice was Joseph II. of Aus
tria, who in 1777 made a little stay
in Paris under the title of Count Won
Falkenstein. During the revolutionary
period Louis XVIII. buried his tempo
rary useless royal dignity under the
privacy of Comte de Lille, while
Charles X. passed as Comte de Marles.
Ex-Empress Eugene in her splendor
frequently took little trips as Com.
tesse de Pierrefonds. King Leopold
does so still as Comte de Ravenstein.

IMMUNITY FROM TUBERCULOSIS
Each Individual Can Fight the Battle
for Himself-Diet and Air.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
At the session of the Association OF
American Physicians. now being held in
Washington, DR.. tiexner of New YORK
read a paper on the prevention and cure OF
tuberculosis, which deservedly claimed the
attention of his learned confreres.
His simple proposition is that immunity
and successful treatment depend largely
upon a generous diet in connection with
proper hygenic surroundings. The idea is
not by any means a new one bat it gains
new force from such high authority. 1t
is getting at the root of the whole matter
in a very effective and practical way. The
best of all is that the prevention and cure
OF this widely prevalent malady can be
placed within the reach of all. Each IN
dividual can fight the battle on his own
account.
1t is the question of being able to resist
infection at the beginning and to overcome
1t In the end by sheer vital resistance OF
the victim. 1t is a doctrine that every
one can understand and apply. 1t eiiml-
mates to a great extent the senseiess scare
concerning the subtle. insldious and mys-
teriously dangerous tubercle bacillus by
placing it's conquest on rational ana prac.
tical basis. The microbe on one side ana
the strong man on the other. Plenty OF
good food. abundance of fresh air and sun
shine answer all fundamental conditions
of ultimate victory over the unseen and
The Herald. following the lead of ad-
vanced medical opinion on the subject, has
been striving to educate the public along
these lines for years. AS in all questions of
disease invasion. the individual himself -
the main proposition. The strong, healthy
person can make himself secure against
any infection. In every epidemic the weak
are the first to fall.
Immunity from any malady is either nat
ural or acquired In most of the infectious
ailments one attack of such almost invari-
ably insures against second one. 1t Is
VIGOROUSLY SO in the case of typhoid fever
scarlet fever. measles and the like The
resisting power developed by such seizures
usually lasts a lifetime. In the case of
other ailments there is an hereditary pre-
disposition to attack This Is obviously so

extra precautions against his waiting an

How Weasels Hunt.
From the London Mail.


The 1.-THE grace Of the weasel may be OBJ
served whenever 1t is on the trail At an
even speed. with nose to the ground. its
reddfsh-brown back seems literally to glide
along through the rank heritage by the
bank.
1t may be the scent of rat and the trail
may take it in and out of the bank a good
many times before it comes up with its vic
TIM 1t may even have to swim a stream
before It's persistence is rewarded II is
wonderful how small hole that long
arched body can glide into and emerge from
without the slightest difficulty
When 1t has caught and killed its prev its
movements are equally graceful as 1t car
rfes the spoil home to its hole
Crossing Kentish field this week I saw
weasel coming along under the hedgerow
red toothed from the chase There was the
same sinuous motion OF the back: but the
little beasts head was held as high as pos
sible. and from Its mouth hung the limp
carcass of a young rat, freshly killed The
weasel held 1t by the neck and SO high. for
all the shortness Of its legs, that only the
end of the rats tail dragged through the
grass.
A family of weasels viii often hunt In
company. and this Is naturally most In
teresting sight to witness. The ability %
the weasel to enter exceedingly small holes
is owing entirely to the structure OF Its
body-its Nat head, long neck, and short
limbs and tail. In corn rick 1t can pursue
mice with ease along their burrows.

Yellow Perch Plentiful.

Yellow perch are reported plentiful in the
river in the vicinity of this city just now.
and are said to be biting very freely at
angle worms, May flies or almost any bait.
They seem to be particularly numerous
about the piers of the bridges across the
river, and standing on the new Highway
bridge yesterday large schools OF them
could be seen playing about the piers and
grabbing at flies or anything that fell into
the water. Some of the fish looked to be
eight or ten inches long, but the majority
of them were smaller.
Old fishermen claim that yellow perch and
BASIN fact, all fish of the perch species
prey upon the young shad and herring and
this may have had something TO do with
the scarcity of the fish in the Potomac dur
ing the season just closed. White perch
are also said to be numerous and good
catches OF them with hook and line are re-
ported.

Evidence Of Improvement.
This will show that though progress was
slow in "de days befo' de wa" there was
improvement. But it muJt be confessed that
the rapid strides made by this community
in the past thirty years would bewiIder the
actors of those days, some of whom are rep
resented in the business circles of TODAY by
their grandchildren.
Doubtless also, will some of the pioneers
of the fraternity In this Jurisdiction be rep

The erection of rrankln row on K street
between 18th and 18th streets in the thir-

some improvements of public nature. but
there was still the country aspect about
this locality. There were in 1910 some
brick pavement with bluestene curb and

of the members of this school do not
connect themselves with the church.
At 2:45 he addresses. the children's
department, and at 3 o'clock comes the
meeting of the Bible Union, in the
church proper. Here again he is the
leader, and he explains the gospel from
the viewpoint of the optimist, telling
the news that cheers and is full of
hope, and expounding the philosophy
of kindness. His treatment of the
lesson said one Of his followers, is
popular rather than critical. One
wonders at the wealth of illustration,
and how he can find time to superin-
tend the largest retail business In the
world, and yet make preparation for
more addresses in a week than are
given by a hard working pastor.

John Wanamakers Sundays.

Sunday is fully occupied day with
Mr.. Wanamaker. At 9 O'clock he leads
the meeting of the Bethany branch
of the Brotherhood of Andrew and

membership Of 1,1O0 men is said to be
Mr.. Wanamaker's favorite aside from
the Sunday school. OF the remainder
of his Sunday program we read:
after church service, Mr.. Wanna
maker goes to his private office In the
Bethany building for study Here he
decides what he is to say at the var
ious afternoon services, and, by out
lining, the form of presentation OF his
subjects Then he goes to the church
dining room for his luncheon.
at is now 2 o'clock and Mr.. Wan
amaker goes to the meeting OF the
Bethany Tithemen, in room In the
top of the building, where hang many
costly paintings presented to the
church by its leading member. the
paintings being, Of course, all Biblical
subjects. The tithernen represent the
one thousand members OF the Bible
Union. the one thousand being divided
into bands of ten, each ten represented
by a titheman or, it may be, 1.-THE
woman. Mr.. Wanamaker addresses
the tithemen briefly. Then, at 2:S0,
he conducts the opening exercises OF
the great Sunday school Of which he
is superintendent. Here he is at his
best, for he loves the Sunday school
most Of all. Here IN the main
room ut is like a busy bee hive) are
six hundred scholars, and the main
room is surrounded by eighteen class
rooms. with over 1000 scholars. There
