there is no limit to the size to which
battleships may go except the depth Of
ports and harbors. A $4,000 ton ship
would draw 80 feet and this is regarded
as the limit for American ships as the
harbors cannot accommodate deeper
vessels.

THE WORST OF ANIMALS.
A Striking Portrait Of Man With
Sehopenhauer's Compliments.

A Striking Portrait Of Man With
Sehopenhauer's Compliments.
Man is the only animal which causes
pain to others without any further pur-
pose than just to cause it. Other ami
mails never do 1t except to satisfy their
hunger or in the rage of combat. No
animal ever torments another for the
mere purpose of tormenting, but man
does it, and 1t is this that constitutes
that diabolical feature In his character
which Is so much worse than the mere
ly animal. have already spoken Of
the matter In it's broad aspect, but it Is
manifest even in small things, and
every reader has daily opportunity of
observing it. For instance, If two little
dogs are playing together-and what
genial and charming sight 1t island
child of three or four years joins
them, it is almost inevitable for 1t to
begin hitting them with a whip or
stick and thereby show itself, even at
that age, the worst of animals. The
love of teasing and playing tricks,
which is common enough, may be trac
ed to the same source. For instance, If
a man has expressed his annoyance at
any interruption or other petty incon-
venience, there will be no lack Of peo-
pie who for that very reason will bring
it about This is SO certain that a man
should be careful not to express any
annoyance at small evils. On the other
hand, he should also be careful not to
express his pleasure at any trifie, for,
If he does so, men will act like the
jailer, who, when he found that his
prisoner had performed the laborious
task of tanning a spider and took
pleasure in watching 1t, Immediately
crushed it under his foot This is why
all animals are instinctively afraid Of
the sight or even Of the track Of a
man, that animal mechant par excel
lence! Nor does their instinct play
them false, for it is man alone who
hunts game for which he has no use
and which does him no harm.-Scho-

AUSTRIAN SPECTATORS.
Investors Desire Something More En-
livening an the Purchase
of Bonds.

The Vienna correspondent of the
London Economist sends the following
interesting description of how Aus
trian investors desire a. spice of specu-
lation combined with their investment
in government bonds:
1T is a characteristic feature of the
Austrian investor that he is exceeding
ly partial to lottery bonds, and year
after year hcpes for the prize that
never comes. 1ec lottery loans have
been redeemed during the last IS years.
and there are only nine more. which
will be amortised within the next
nine years. They are Quotec at high
prices. because the public imagines
that the chances of winning the chief
prize. or, at least, one of the lesser
prizes. must be very great by this
time But one Of the directors of the
Anglo bank has just published a paper
to show how slight are the chances
of winning anything. and how prob
able it is that investors will incur
losses The greater the principal
prizes are the smaller must be the
sum which is paid when the other
numbers are called But the demand
for lottery bonds makes the price OF
them rise out of all proportion to ths
igure at which they were emitted"

The hay crop this year in Northern
Wisconsin is peculiar one. In some
sections the crop is particularly light,
timothy and clover blossoming when
grown to about half its usual height.
In other localities. farmers report that
they never had such crop as this year.
They say it is growing to great height
and is very thick. II is thought the
market price will be about the same
in the fall as usual. Hay sold this past
spring for the highest price reached in
years, the price rising at one time to s22
per ton. That of course angered the
farmers.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The teachers institute WI ich has been
in progress the past week, has proven
very successful in every way. The en-
rollment for the week has been 176,
which is the largest class in the history
of the county. All are teachers resid-
ing in this county.
The instruction work has been
divided among the instructors as
follows:
S. b. Tobey -School management,
reading and library work.
w. j. Farrell-School Management
and geography.
Geo. W. Schwartz, Monroe Agricul-
ture and geography.
The sessions have been held in the
county school building, which has been
crowded Two teachers have been
seated at each desk and both in
structors and attendants have been
hampered for room. The first plan
suggested was to hold two institutes
instead of one, and the instructors are
sorry now they did not carry out that
plan. More effective work could have
been accomplished with smaller classes.
However, everything is running along
smoothly, and taken all in all it is one
of the most successful institutes ever
conducted in the county.
All of the expenses are met by the
county, with the exception of one
weeks salary for the leading conductor,
S. b. Tobey, which in borne by the state
The same conditions apply to every
county in the state where training
schools are located Where there are
no teachers training schools, two
weeks pay for leading conductors is
paid by the state.
The institute will close next Friday,
and during the next two weeks Mr..
Tobey will be engaged in institute
work in Portage county.

COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE,
EAU CLAIRE NEIGHBoRHooD

| Miss Ida Fairbank, of Rosendale, is
visiting her sister, Mrs. j, b. Titus.
G. ID. Jones and John Gebhart, of
Wausau, were in the neighborhood last
Thursday.
Mrs. Louis Scheopke was called to
the town of Berlin last week on account
of the serious illness of Ger mother.
Mrs. John Gibson and son and Miss
Freda SIZZLING, of Port Washington, are
visiting at the home of Mrs. Gilson's
father, G. b. Ingersoll
As our pastor has to reach Kelly for
service at three o'clock, he wishes to
commence our service promptly at ten
O'Clock. As matters of interest are to
come up next Sunday full attendance
is desired.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schneider moved onto
their farm last Thursday Fridayeven
ing the boys of the neighborhood tried
to give them charivari, but as old tin
ware was scarce and all the COW bells
in use, they had to use their lungs, and
judging from the sound that those
organs gave out on them, the party
soon gave it mp as bad job.
A box social will be held at Peter
Johnson's formerly Johnson's Post
office next Saturday evening, July 20,
for the purpose TO raise fund to assist
Mr.. Archie to procure medical aid for
one of his children who is very sick.
The cause is a good one and we hope to
see large attendance. Each lady is
supposed to bring box or basket with
a lunch in it for two and each gentle
man is suppose TO bring cash enough
with him to buy as many of them as he
pleases.
LAST Sunday while j b. Titus and
family with their guests were at the
dells, some sneak thief or thieves stole
all the eatables that they could find out
of their buggy. Not being satisfied
with the first visit they made the
second, this time taking the baskets
from the buggy and scattering the dish
es on the ground. Whoever they were
they were very bold, as the buggy was
on the road side in very open place,
and there were people passing every
few minutes. 1t win be well for par
ties visiting the dells to watch out, for a
sneak thief who will steal one thing
will steal most anything he can get his
hands on

LAYS BARE DIABOLIsM
Christian Science throws light upon
this hidden practice, because through
its understanding OF right mental in
fiuence, it lays bare the diabolism of
the evil mental influence.
While many are sceptical in regard
to the possibility of mental malprac-
tice, its evil workings and evil effects
are so well known to the careful in
vestigator that they cannot be brushed
aside.
The time has arrived when Christian
Science is needed as a protection against
the mental bandit; for, as matter of
fact, the understanding of God as the
one infinite Power is the only sure
means of defence against the evil called
malicious animal magnetism.
Jesus evidently had this in mind
when he prayed: Not as | will, but as
thou wilt" This was on the occasion
when he was struggling to defend him
self against the almost overwhelming
hatred of the rabble which was incensed
against him at that time.
There is no point of similarity be-
tween the belief of Christian Science
concerning animal magnetism and
what has been termed witchcraft
Witches, as we understand, were sup
posed to be controlled by evil spirits or
demons which rendered them danger
Gus to the community in which they
lived Witchcraft was based wholly
upon superstition.
la Christian Science animal mag
netism is not believed TO be a power, is
not thought to be the expression of in
telligence hut of false belief
1t is not to be combated by shifting
its victim but by understanding the
truth, by relying upon the one power
which neutralizes and destroys the false
belief
In the light of Christian Science we
recognize that the effects of the Black
Curse and all other means of frighten-
ing folks are the outgrowth of delusion,
of suggestion or auto-suggestion which
become powerless in the presence OF
Christian Science, the apprehension OF
the truth of being.

The I wo Cent Fare Bill.

Last Thursday the state Senate
sprung a great surprise by passing a p
cent fare bill. 1t was thought that this
question had been finally settled by
leaving 1t with the Wisconsin Rate Com
mission which declared for a - cent
rate. 1t seems that the railroad com
panies have brought about this action
of the legislature by making it very I'M
pleasant for those using the 2-cent fam
lily tickets, by refusing to carry baggage
fer holder of one of those tickets, only
to the state line. Recently the western
railroads notified the interstate com
merce commission that, on July Is, they
will make a general reduction in passen-
ger rates for interstate trips in Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri, making
cents per mile the basis for all rates
in and between those states. On July
20, rates viii be reduced for Interstate
trips between Wisconsin and Illinois.
Iowa and Missouri points To basis of
y cents per mile and cents in the
other states. This, no doubt drove our
state salons TO passing a-cent bill.
The governor has not signed the bill
and may veto it, Lieut.. Gov W ID.
Connor is credited with having brought
about the passage of the bill. On being
questioned he gave his views as follows:
1.-The railroad rate commission" he
saws, admitted this in its report an
order for p cent fare, when it recon-
mended that mileage books good for
500 miles be sold for $40. The Burling-
ton road has granted the fare, and they

transportation is as much entitled to a
2-cent fare as is the man who is able TO
buy 500-mile book.
The railroads bave brought this on
themselves by the indignities they have
heapee upon the travelling public, and
the trouble they have occasioned by de-
handing rechecking of baggage al
the state line"
1t is reported that the railroad COM
missioners will resign.
