full value in return whether the re-

MoRAI. REVIVAL In PROGREss.

MORAL REVIVAL IN PROGRESS.
When the conscience of a community
is quickened the effect is much the
same as that which takes place when
only an individual is concerned. There
is a desire for better things in all re-
spects. There is new reverence for
law and new desire to repress the law
less. The determination to have clean
er streets and more honorable public
officials affects the attitude of the COM
munities most interested toward every
form of vice and all laxity in the en-
forcement OF the laws. The truth is
that the American people are expert
encing a far-reachfng moral revival
1t manifests Itself in different degrees
and forms, but in its essence it is the
same in many states and cities.-Cleve-
land Leader.

Concerning that unique stream, the
River Jodan, DR.. Libbey, in 1.-THE Jor-

nous river is what none of the an
clients ever guessed-that its course
was mostly below the level of the sea.
They journeyed up and down the val
ley since before the days of Abraham f;
they climbed down the roads from
Jerusalem to Jericho and up into Moab
and EdOm; they built roads and
bridges and cities far below the level
of the Mediterranean and yet never
seem to have suspected that this stream
differed from most of the rivers of the
golbe in this respect. Greeks, Russians
and Mohammedans, Jews, Christians
and crusaders knew every nook and
Granny of its winding course. but failed
to realize that while it's head and
source rested high on noble Hermon's
side its mouth in the Dead sea was far
below the surface of the habitable
world and all the surrounding oceans. -

NO MAN is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Lot the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food II a
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies. Food is con
verified into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength OF the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated
People can die OF starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach is really the vital or
gan OF the body. l. the stomach is"weak"
the body will be weak Also because it is
upon the STOMACH the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered as
whole, Is made up of its several mem
bers and organs, SO the weakness of the
body as a consequence of weak" stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If the
body is weak because it is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver. kidneys. etc
The liver will be torpid and inactive

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves
of the body. Personal experience with
thousands proves the general state
ment true and physicians have records
of great numbers of cases that add to
the testimony.

cases of lost eyesight ever in history.

had doctored with all of the specialists
about the country and has at last re-
turned home with the fact impressed
on his mind that his case is incurable.
A portion of the optic nerve has
been ruined rendering his sight so
limited that he is unable to see any
thing before him, but he can see plain
y anything at the side of him. There

have been but few cases Of Its kind
before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-
fee drinker, and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records of the specialists of this
ountry this Is the first case ever
caused by the use of coffee.
The nerve Is ruined beyond aid and
his case is incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing to the Doctors statement, the
young man will have to give up cof-
fee or the rest of his sight will fol-
low and the entire nerve be ruined

the islet of zap. Just as railroad
maps make great towns of their i'm

to-day give world prominence to any
remote island of the sea which lends
itself to their uses for a meeting
place. Three large cable companies
have put wires into little zap which
lies east of the Caroline islands and
about degrees north of the equator,
and here they will exchange and trans
ship their messages. The ship that

munication with every port of the

CUSTOMS OF THE CANNlBALs
Tribes of Savages Observe Traditions
Among Themselves.

Even among the savages of French
Africa, who eat human flesh, there
are differences" said Paul Pucci, a
young Italian traveller, at the Ra-
leigh. Some while ago, when ex-
ploring that country, learned good
bit about the ways of the various
tribes. In a majority of them can
nibalism is INDUCED only when the
bodies are those of prisoners taken in
battle. 1t is all right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans, but it
would be a gross violation of tradition
and the custom of. the land to feast
upon friends or efen upon members
of the same tribe. This delicacy OF
sentiment, however, is not universal,
and in one tribe in particular, where
| noted the absence of any old per.
sons, ! learned that it was the proper
thing to add the aged inhabitants
to the local food supply This con.
fined the population to the young and

Sent as Substitute For Meat.

An odd incident occurred south OF
Seneca, in FaulS county, when, on a
dark. stormy night, while family OF
homesteaders were lamenting their
ill fortune of having no meat in the
house they were startled to hear
heavy thuds against the outside of the
building, when investigation with a
lantern disclosed the fact that wild
ducks had flown against it and had
fallen to the ground to be easily pick
ed up in their dazed condition. This
settled the meat question, and there
were some who figured that the ducks
had been providentlally misguided
that night in their journey south.

WAY PIPE SHOULD BE LIGHTED.
Subject OF Vastly More Importance
Than Appears.

There has been a little newspaper
discussion recently on the subject of
How to Light Pipe" This may seem
to the feminine mind, trivial matter,
and quite beneath the notice of any
dignified journal.
How wrong! For a pipe ill-lit is
pipe ill-smoked, and a pipe ill-smoked
is man made testy, and a man made
testy is man looking out for trouble,
and man looking out for trouble is
man finding trouble, and man find
ing trouble is a woman in tears, and a
woman in tears is the last word in hui
man drearlness. Never let us be
ashamed to inquire, then how a pipe
may be lit with the utmost satisfac'
ton to the smoker.
One paper, | see, recommends spills.
That is good, but the spills, of course,
must be wooden ones.
Another paper retorts that spills are
of no sort of use to the man in the
train. This is the kind of frightfully
true thing that causes a hush in the
noisiest assembly What, then, should
the man in the train do?
/ will tell him. He should carry a
| box of wooden matches, and he should
use exactly two matches to light his
pipe The first one will dry the to-
bacco on the surface, and the second
one will produce the vivid even glow
beloved of smokers
The man, by the way, who lights his
pipe with wax match is bad man
right from the start Never trust him,
