Chicago Journal: There ought to be a
law preventing newspapers from making
heroes OF criminals, filling pages with
sensational accounts of their crimes and
gruesome pictures bringing them before
the eyes of young men. There is no doubt
that large percentage of the crime in
Chicago can be traced directly to yellow
newspapers. If such newspapers were
forced to conduct themselves with decency
for year, crime would diminish amazing

the city to be polluted with their nasty

How Jav.nese Settle auarr.i..

The Javanese manner Of settling
Quarrels Is quite original. When one
man has offended another the injured
party gives notice that he Is angry by
drawing In the sand before the door
Of the offender a circle with a straight
line across 1t, indicating that his af.
lection. which would have been eter.
nal, has been cut In two. Friends Of
both parties then shut them up. They
parley awhile, then pretend to be born
again, prttle as little children and final.
ly as men become reconciled and en-
brace. Should one be refractory and
refuse to be concinated he Is ostracized
by the community 80 effectually that
he is soon brought to terms. 1t is Just
possible that u enlightened citizens
might consider this method better than
Touchdown arguments and certainly
much CD saper than going to law.

AN
A Long Felt Want Supple d .

Through the efforts OF the enter
prising firm of 7. a. Muirhead &
Co. the reading public a now be
supplied with good books at a
very small cost. They have Just
received IS volumes of late and
popular fiction by authors of wide
reputation--These books are not
purchased with a view to selling
them again, but they propose to
rent them at the rate OF 1oc a
week and no fee will be charged
in addition. This gives an opper-
tupity to read ten books or more
for the retail price Of one. Their
proposition is plain and simple
and people who like to read good
books should appreciate this tirms
efforts in their behalf. Mr.. Muir
head has given the matter OF Sc
lection his personal attention and
states that he can cheerfully rec
commend every book in the list.
Books will be ready for distri-
button Saturday June 18th.
This move is in line with the
nrooress of our town and the firm
is to.be congratulated for its en-
terprise.

The Omfnoua Owl.

It's an odd thing, but there are a
number Of people who have a distinct
antipathy to the screech owl and can
not listen to a single burst Of its
hilarity without. shuddering. The
screech owl is supposed by the negroes
on southern plantations to be in direct
communication with all the ghosts
and giants Of the forests. He plays
a great part in the more weird folklore
stories of the darkies. A funny super
stttton In regard to the screech owl is
that II you will take your shoe or slip
per OF your left foot the first time you
hear an owl laugh and turn the shoe
sole upward on the floor and place your
~stockin' foot" on the bottom Of the
shoes sole the owl will stop laughing
and fly for ten miles without rest.

Reading.

Reading is not a lost art to the same
degree that conversation is, but it has
In most cases an arrested development
through 30 much reading that makes
no demand upon aesthetic sensibility,
so that one Ii apt to bring to a fine
story full of delicate shades Of thought
and feeling the same mind which he
yields to a newspaper, putting a blunt
interrogation As to its meaning as con-
veyed In the terms Of a rational prop
osttion, and the writer's charm Is Who'll.

SIMULTANEOUS
EXCURSIONS

The fourth week in July will witness
many simultaneous excursions into the
upper air In various parts OF the world.
From July p 10 27 inclusive there will
be network OF observations over vast
regions OF the northern hemisphere The
work has been arranged by the interna
tional commission for scientific aeronau-
tics. II is expected TO supply much In
formation as 10 the velocity and direction
OF the winds at the enormous elevations
reached by the little rubber pilot balloons
that are now sent adrift: also as TO the
temperatures obtainable by the use OF
balloon sondes. The observations will
show the conditions simultaneously pre-
vailing high above the loftiest mountains
In many widely separated regions
All the observatories engaged I'm upper
air researches will take part and also
many independent observers The Prince
OF Monaco, one OF whose pilot balloons
last summer attained the extraordinary
altitude OF 81, 700 feet, will lmake observa-
tions in a high northern latitude, and
German and French warships will send
up balloons between Iceland and Norway
and in the neighborhood OF the Azores
Further south an expedition sent by MT
Teisserenc de Bobt and Prof. Rotch or
the Blue Hill observatory will record the
upper air conditions In the region OF the
trade winds and doldrums. The italian
government will send a warship TO some
point in the Mediterranean. n number or
stations In North America will cooperate.
and pilot and other balloons will be sent
aloft from several points in Scotland and
England.
These observations will be repeated for
three days in September and three days
in November. There is every prospect
that the study OF the upper air will make
progress this year, and good results are
expected from the new plan OF taking
observations on several successive days
instead Of on isolated days as hitherto
New York Sun.
