BLAMEs THE CLIMATE.
Professor of Amherst Talks About Our
 Strenuous Life.

Chicago July 6-America's climate, regarded by scientists as the prime factor in the country's marvellous growth from colonial days, may be the cause of its degeneracy, according to Prof John Mason Tyler of Amherst college.
 Every decade' he explained to stu dents at the University of Chicago yesterday. in opening series of lee lures, 'our climate has been drawing the strings on our nervous system tighter and tighter until now they are ready to snap"
 Physical degeneration is noticeable now in the children of business and professional men. he asserted.
 "The strain of modern life, the de- sire for wealth for comfort, and for luxury Is terrible" he said. Tt falls on the nervous system, not on the muscles. for we are changing from a life in the open-a life of manual la bor-to life fin the use of the brain. This tendency is going to continue and we can't help 1t.
 Americans a hundred years ago lived on pork and doughnuts to a great extent. Before going to bed they were not satisfied unless they ate a large piece of mince pie. We say to- day. what barbarous bill of fare we who can't stand anything stronger than tea and crackers.
 Children century ago went to school on the average of twelve weeks year. Sixteen weeks was an extra long term. Forty weeks were spent on the farm, fin open life. studying nature physical needs and the world. That surely was the grandest system we have yet had.
 "Ten months are spent by the child ren to-day in school. And there are many of us urging vacation schools just 10 take the children on our hands for the other two months"

EXCURSION
SEASON OPENS.
Hou8hton Maccabees. VIII Open The
Excursion Season With Trip
to L'Anse.

Sunday, May 9th, will inaugurate
the the opening of the excursion
season in L'Anse, at which time
Houghton tent, No. 245, Knights OF
the Modern Maccabees will come to
this village ont6e steamer Mascotte,
accompanied by large number OF
their friends.
Already arrangements are being
made by the local Maccabees and
others for rousing reception to be
given the visiting tent, and it is ex-
pected that nothing will be left un-
done to make the first excursion of
the season to this village pleasant
one.
1t is understood that the excurs-
ion party has engaged a popular
copper country band to accompany
them here on that date, and thro ugh
special efforts Of some local parties
arrangements have been made
whereby the band will render a
pleasing concert during the after
noou.
Another feature which has been
arranged for the entertainment of
the visitors is lively game of base
ball between the newly organized
L'Anse team and the Pequamipg
team. Both teams are undergoing
hard practice, so as to enable them
to give pleasing game.
Those who have interested them
selves in the matter, give informa-
tion to the effect that the local
picnic grounds will be put into
suitable condition for the occasion,
thus assuring the excursionists OF a
neat, picturesque place to unload
their baskets and partake of their
luncheon.
To the copper country people
L'Anse has always been chosen
spot for picnics and outings, and it
can be assured them that its splen-
dor has in no way been marred.
Our spacious and beautifully shaded
picnic grounds, our pretty trout
filed streams, and the genial hospi-
tality OF our citizens still remain as
in former years, and it is safe to say
that the copper country Maccabees
could not have chosen a more sui ta-
place for their outing than at
L'Anse.
