The Sacred Beard,

In this age of beardless boys Of forty
1t is interesting to note that, according
to a contemporary, the latest society in
Paris is the Society Of Pointed Boards,
composed of leading musicians, liter.
airy men and artists. Every member
must, under pain Of severe penalties,
promise to wear a beard which tapers
symmetrically to a point. Every Mo.
hammedan is obliged, Of course, by his
religion to grow a beard, and in Rus.
STA the beard has always been an oh.
ject of reverence. An ordinance which
was published in 1915 in Novgorod,
then the capital Of Russia, exemplifies
this. BY this law any one plucking a
hair from a neighbours beard was sub.
jected to a punishment four times more
severe than that inflicted for cutting
off his Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

Dawn on the Prairies.

While we ate the eastern sky light
ened. The mountains under the dawn
looked like silhouettes cut from slate
colored paper. Those in the west show
ed family luminous. Objects about us
became dimly visible. We could make
out the windmill and the adobe of the
ranch houses and the corrals. The
cowboys arose one by one, dropped
their plates into the dishpan and be-
gan to hunt out their ropes. Every
thing was obscure and mysterious in
the faint gray light. / watched Windy

Great Falls of the Potomac,

The Great Falls of the Potomac are
about fifteen miles above Washington,
but the neighboring country has re.
NAMED so Wild and ~undeveloped that
the falls have been difficult to reach.
The famous Conduit or Aqueduct road,
so called because it is built over the
big conduit which brings the national
capital it's water supply. leads about
up to the falls on the Maryland side
and there stops. 1t is famous as one
of the best roads in the country. and
it is a favorite drive with Washington
people and visitors. About halfway
up this road crosses a deep gulch by
means of the Cabin John bridge, u ma
Jestic stone arch built by the govern.
ment and until recently the longest
single masonry span in the world,
about 220 feet. This bridge was be-
gun just before the civil war, and a
tablet was inserted in it's side, giving
the name of Jeff Davis as secretary of
war. During the war his name was
mutilated by soldiers. and now it is
entirely cut off. -Pathfinder.

READY MONEY.

"A dollar gives you confidence,
Five makes you walk or air,
A ten spot let's you face the world
Without a thought of care.
With fifty large ones right away
You feel your own true worth.
But get a hundred dollar bill
All, well. you own the earth.
Just let a fellow walk about
Without a lonely dime.
He feels as though for sure he must
Be guilty of a crime,
And when a copper floats around
He doesn't want to stay.
Before the shadow of the blue
He quickly fades away.
Without a plentitude of dough
A fellow isn't one. two. three.
In fact. he only reaches up
Just halfway to a cricket's knee.
But let him stir himself about
And fall heir to a little dot
OF several thousand. more or less;
Then he's some puma,sins. maybe not.
A dollar gives you confidence
And several other things. For why?
Because you know that what you need
You readily may go forth and buy.
Five. then, and twenty makes things
hum;
n hundred gives o quite a thrill.
Where would a man get off if he
Possessed a thousand dollar bill?

CORRESPONDENCE
DRESDEN.

The Ladies Aid of the Presbyterian
church held their annual bazaar last
Wednesday, and realized a handsome
sum from the sale of their goods. The
proceeds amounted to S75, which was
very gratifying and encouraging.
The McFarlane & Co. gang of car
p%enters, who spent the entire summer,
in, and around Dresden, building barns
and doing repair work, have returned to
their home in Mimi, for the winter.
Come again boys, we will all be glad to
see you, and don't forget that there are
worse places than N. Oak.
Our honorable merchant, Harvey j.
Mathisen, is absent this week on a visit
to his old home at Evansville MINI.
We are sorry to say that he is not as
we'll as usual, and, in consequence, con-
templates a trip to the coast with his
family in the neal future, where they
will probably remain until spring.
The Dresden school is splendidly and
efficiently equipped this year as far as
teachers are concerned, having FL. T.
Parker as principal, and Miss Fullerton
as primary teacher. The pupils are
making excellent progress in both de-
partments Strict discipline is being
enforced, and order maintained, which
is rather a new feature in the Dresden
schools, Still you can't please every
body.
1t is with regret that we mention the
departure from our midst of r. B. Nc
Farlane and family. They left for their
old home in central Mimi, near Alex
andrla. where Mr.. McFarlane still owns
a fine farm, and where he thinks he pre-
fers to live. Weare sorry to lose Mr..
McFarlane and his estimable wife as
they were both much needed here. We
are pleased to add that, MIR. McFarlane,
is a man of sterling character, being up
right and honest in all his dealings with
his fellowmen. and a conscientious, de-

PERFECT SANITY.
An lmPossibiIity From a Strictly scien.
tific Point of View.

tific Point Of View.
,Anglo-Saxons are so prone to take
common sense views of things tina,
they seldom realize the full force Of
the familiar saying that all men have
some form of madness in them. The
sound inference is, as is pointed oul
by DIR. G. Fl. Savage, the eminent Eng
l1sh %alienist, in a recent Lancet paper
that perfect sanity would be not only
undesirable in itself, but from a strict
ly scientific point of view impossible
For a perfectly san person-were sucf
a thing thinkable-would be dull ane
uninteresting-a mediocrity, a nonen
tity.
The point to seize, however, as DR.
Savage impresses upon us, is tina;
there can be no comprehensive idea Of
definition Of insanity, because the
thing does not really exist. No scien
fist IAN set up any standard Of ration
atty departure from which would com
prise or denote insanity.
One can diagnose a EAST of typhoid
because it is q continued fever, char
acterized by a peculiar course of the
temperature, by marked abdominal
symptoms, by an eruption upon the
skin. But there is nothing in wha:
goes by the name of insanity to fur
Their a diagnosis as that term is I'm
derstood by medical men generally.
Some treatises upon insanity prove
nothing at all by proving too much
for they make whole nations insane al
once. Physicians connected with in
sanity, as DR.. Savage argues, resemble
gardeners rather than botanists. 1--WE
classify for convenience rather thar
upon a scientific basis, because, ir
point Of fact, no such basis or fnality
Of mode has as yet been discovered"
Perhaps, adds DR.. Savage, there is
no need to wonder at this, since many
have to be treated as lunatics whose
brains and nervous systems show nc
change whatever from the norma:
course of what is recognized as sanity
Unfortunately the impulse to define
and classify sometimes leads to misin
depreciation of a, deplorable kind. Such
for example, is the false view, as DR.
Savage deems it, that every person OF
unsound mind is a lunatic. That, he
says, is a "pseudo-legal" absurdity
OBVIOUSLY there are many persons OF
unsound mind who are neither danger
u to themselves nor to others. Why
therefore regard them as aliensY"
The true difficulty, insists this distin.
guished expert, is that the disease in.
sanity does not exist. Yet one might
almost conclude from the elaborate ar.
ticles in our leading daily journals that
such a thing as insanity is a definitely
established scientific fact; that it is q
malady as definite in its symptoms and
origin as, say, cancer or tuberculosis

Long Distance BaIIoonine Records.

Many notable trips have been made
in balloons. In 1S49 Mr.. Wise started
from st. Louis and came down in
Henderson county, N. Y, having made
about 800 miles. This stood as the
worlds long distance record until the
Paris exposition of 1900, when the
Count de la Vaulx sailed over into
Russia. His distance was about 1000
miles, and he was in the air over thir-
ty-six hours. The present record for
time was established by two German
aeronauts last spring. They succeed
ed in remaining in the air owe fifty
one hours.-F. P. Lahm, u. s. A., in
