Quiet Speaking.

1t is impossible to over-estimate the
value of quiet speaking. Quiet, gen
tie dignity can accomplish a great
deal, and when face to face with those
who possess this calm, self-reliant
manner of speaking we can not fail to
realize its tremendous Importance. It
is a delight and a pleasure to hear a
voice perfectly cultured and sympa-
thetic-a voice that rings with kind
ness. 1t is an advantage, valuable
asset in both the social and business
world.

1t should be made clear to those
who are responsible for preparing
official reports on social, indus
trial ant other statistics, that there
is no such things as a laboring
class, in this county. The use
of the term is offensive, to say the
least. 1t is a distinction which
has no universal application to oc-
equations and should not be used
in discussing the statistics which
call for description analysis,
1t is 10 use to say that it is per
missiable to speak of the Iaborer,
or the servant, or the doctor, or
the student, as a "class' having a
status By themselves.
The term has general not social
AjoaGicaton, however pcrslslentIE
some people may insist upon ap-
plving it to one or two occupa-
ton groups but not to others.
The Iaborer himself Las right to
resent this, and insist that no Of
6cIal document rut him into d
class by himself when no such
Status is claimed for others in the

An Old Relic.

What is rePuted to be the larg-
est log ever cut in the WOODS Of
Wisconsin was recently split by
dynamite into four sections and
sawed at a mill at Chippewa Falls
1t is about six feet IN diameter
and was cut ten years ago on the
north fork of the Chippewa river.
For about FIVE years the mann
moth log was encountered in va
rious parts of the Chippewa river
by the drivers and they frequent
~ experienced considerable troub-
lie by its presence, During the
remainder of the time IT was kept
in the boom at the Chippewa
mill as a curiosity and has been

VILLAGE of PeIicans,

On the lower course of Casamance
river in West Africa exists what a
French writer has described as a evil,
lage Of pclicans,' The birds have been
sc mercilessly hunted that they avoid
the presence of man, but in the neigh,
borhood Of their village they show
comparatively little fear. There are
even native African huts under the
enormous baobab trees in which the
birds have established their com
munity. The nests are placed at the
ends of branches, five or six in each
tree. Dry branches, rudely interlaced,
form an insecure looking platform COW
cred with a thick layer of down. and
there the young birds, laughingly big
and awkward in such a situation, may
be seen maintaining an unstable equi-
librium, yet never losing their bal

WOMEN in MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives thar
those of our generation. To be sure
there are a hundred labor saving de
vices to-day which were unknown tC
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged nc
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night The Eli2
abethan had no prejudice against gar.
bage in his front yard vermin in his
bedroom decaying rushes on the floor
OF his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover although her cloth,
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
it was not subject to rapid changes of
fashion. The cut of a sleeve or the
hang of skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like a last years rag bag"

Hundreds of Good irish Here.

the fact, when a man entered, and,
hearing the remark, said: you are
all right, old man. / like the Irish,

Pat" to such an extent that he spent
considerable money on his newly
found friend, and after his departure
pat inquired of the barkeeper where
he lived, remarking that he was a
dunn fine man, anyway" That man"

The Uses of Worry.

Worry of one sort and another is
necessary to the complete health of
the spirit; worry is as surely related
10 content on one side as it is to mis-
cry on the other. 1t is as wholesome
an exercise for the spirit, and as re-
freshing, as the physical exercise
which the man finds so necessary to
his well-being. The spirit must have
its peculiar gymnastics; the soul can
not afford to become stagnant; its
waters, if one may say so, must be
stirred occasionally if they would be
kept fresh and sweet-Joel Chandler
Harris in Uncle Remus Magazine

Ghost Plant of Oreoon,

While picking berries at East TWEEN
tieth and Skidmore streets Sunday
Miss Charlotte Lindsay came upon a
ghost plant, says the Portland Ore
gonian. This plant is of rare occur
renee in western Oregon, and this is
the first time that it is known to have
been found in or near Portland. The
ghost plant was known and much
praised by the Indians of Oregon in
times past, and is sometimes known
as the Indian pipe plant. 1t is said
the Indians believed that it had great
remedial qualities and made from it
a lotion which they considered cura-
tive for the eye. 1t is tall, waxlike
plant about eight inches high and its
bloom resembles a waXen cup.

ChiId's Remarkable Suicide.

A remarkable case of suicide by the
14-year-old daughter of a farm laborer
named Beecham was revealed at an
inquest at Weston-superMa Eng
land, recently. 1t was stated that the
girl was of an obstinate and deter
mined character and guilty of persist
ent falsehoods. She was entrusted
with a dress to take to the village
dressmaker for remaking for herself,
but returned with the statement that
it was too good to cut up. Unknown
to her parents she sold the dress to
villager for four shillings, and on
this being discovered she walked to +
level crossing, put her head across ths
metals, and was decapitated by pass,
ing train.

New indian Head on our Penny.

New designs for our United
States coins by the late August
Saint Gaudens have been accept
d by the government. Three de-
nominations will be affected, the
double eagle, the eagle aud the
bronze cent.
A radical change is made in the
design of the cent, and though
the Indian head will be retained j,
it will bear little resemblance TO
the old one, and is expected to be
more characteristic of the head of
the American Indian with real
headdress instead of the present
design. The present Indian head
is really Caucasian type of the
face having been posed tor by a
little daughter of James M. Long
acre engraver of the Philadelphia
mint, who designed the present
penny in 1859.
On the diverse of the eagle and
double eagle and the head of lib
erty is retained in idealized form.
On the reverse side of the $40
gold piece, which was also de-
signed by Mr.. Longacre in 184o, is
an erect eagle, but of new design.
More radical changes are noted
in the design for the $40 gold
com While the diverse side
shows the head of liberty, on the
reverse is a flying eagle, closely
modelled after the pattern of the
dollars and half dollars of 1868
and 1898. Christian Gobrech who
designed these coins, used as his
model "peter," the live eagle.
known as the "mint bird. "-EX.

No TWO Mouths Alike.

DR.. Paul Prayer, an Austrian army
surgeon, who has made a special study
of methods of Identification, recon-
mends that prisoners should be identi
fed by the shape of their palates. DR.
Prayer declares that the method would
be much more reliable than any al
present used, for among the thousands
of mQlds he has taken of the interior
of the human mouth he has failed to
find two which even slightly resem
bled each other. Although the teeth
alter greatly with time, the markings
of the palate remain unchanged
throughout life

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.
This Man Worked Hard in His Own
Particular Way.

comfortably smoking his foul pipe, &C.
cording to his daily custom, in the pre-.
scription room of a drug store. He
was SoliloquiZing aloud to the clerk.
Here is a sample of his sound con.
tented philosophy: Til tell you what!

in at somethin | know tive tried
both ways an | find that there ain t
nothin that makes man more miser'
able than dom nothin'. But, you
know, there's two kinds of work; one
of them is where a Teller goes to work
at six in the mornin' an works with
his hands till six at night. The other
is where Teller sits around an thinks.
I amt never happy unless I'm work
in, but | don't believe in that first
kind of work. | believe in thinkin' all

Sentiment is Woman'S Handicap.

Business with man is perma-
nent career an end which he new.
er permits to drop-out of sight.
With the average woman it is
merely an 4xpedient. With man,
success in business is ail-absOrb-
ing matrimony and love are Incl
dents. With a woman, i'll time
love matrimony becomes the real
things Of life and business man in
cident. Success with the business
man is satisfying. If the right
woman is a factor or is benefited
by his business success, he counts
this as an added blessing.
The woman cannot enjoy sue
cess alone. She must share 1t
with some one. This is the natur-
al Gutcropping of unselfohness III
the woman. With man success
or efforts toward success, dwarf
all other feelings. With woman
continent, affection. the unexpcct-
assertion of the unexpected asser-
ton of the feminine nature are
liable to imperil her business sue
cess at any moment-Anna Steese

STATE FAIR ATTRACTION.
Splendid List of Startling Specialtiey
Monster Night Show.

"A
Wisconsin people is expected al
the Wisconsin State Fair, to be
held at Milwaukee, beginning next
Monday and closing on Friday.
The Wisconsin State Board of Ag-
riculture has made unusual plans
to provide an all-round exhibit for
the benefit of the people of the
state and they are looking for a
larger attendance from every
county in Wisconsin than ever be-
fore. The fair comes at an eX-
ceptionally good season of the
year when farmers can leave their
work for week of such recreation
and educational benefit as may be
obtained by attending the great
state exhibit
1t is going to be a particular
pleasure to attend the fair this
year because of the splendid con-
dition of the grounds and the
large increased facilities for hand
ling exhibits. Many acres of new
floor space have been secured by
the ere ction of new buildings and
it is gratifying to report that all
of the additional space has been
taken by exhibitors, many OF
whom have never before exhibited
at the state fair. For the stock
breeder there is a great treat IN
store because Of the completeness
of the exhibit that will BE- made in
those departments. The mann
moth new cattle barn will be filled
with the best cattle that Wiscon-
sin produces. The sheep exhibit
will also be unusually fine and this
year, tor the first time, the sheep
Judging will be couduc ted in the
new pavilion erected for that pur-
pose, having a seating capacity of
one thousand and making it pos
slble to Judge sheep indoors both
day and evening. The dairy and
cheese exhibits viii also be cX-
reptionaIIy comFlcte and instruct
i've.
There will be new thugs to see
on every hand and wonderfully at
tractive special events. Includ-
ing the famous StIobel airship
which made sucn a fine record at
the State fair year ago. Ascen-
sions will be made every after
noon, the weather permitting.
Unusual interest centers in the
monster fireworks spectacle 10 be
given in the evening, entities
The Destruction of Moscow" 1t
promises to be the most spectacu-
lar display of fireworks ever seen
in Wisconsin. To depict the va
rious scenes more than Zoo peo-
pie are employed and a large
amount of stage setting. For the
vaudeville shows there are such
special features as the famous
Nelson family, the O,uro Japan
csc troupe. the Laurent trio and
other acts especially secured for
the fair.
