Away with Clothes.

II one takes a somewhat broader
and less technical view Of the menac-
ing conditions disclosed by the London
Lancets series Of exposes, and is
large-minded enough to appreciate
the essential artifcialty of the
whole modern scheme of clothes, there
seems but one logical conclusion from
the premises. viz. clothes must go or
the human race will be devoured and
exterminated by microbes. The con-
veniences Of the household, from
scrubbing brush to the grand piano,
are nothing more nor less than germ
traps. From kitchen to drawing room
and garret the house is alive with
microscopic brigands, Hence, houses
must be given up also. And it thus
appears that science as we'll as social
ism urges return to the misnamed
days of barbarism toward which the
back TO nature" folk look so long
ingly.

the conversation ineligible. A Came

purpose The instrument is rather
peculiar, its surface being divided in
to two unequal portions, so that when
it is struck it yields two different
notes. With code not unlike the taps
of the telegraph system, the natives
make this drum express any syllable
of their language.

WAS A VIKING FUNERAL SHIP.
Interesting Relic of the Past Dug Up
in Norway.

Recently in Norway was discovered
viking funeral snip at least LOO
years old. Its mortuary chamber con
tanned the bones OF two women who.
judging from the size of the craft and
the elaborateness of its appointments,
belonged 20 some noble and wealthy
family. Fhe vessel. which is 70 feet
long and 16 feet inches broad, was
dug out Of a tumulus. two and half
miles from the shore, near Tonsberg.
It contained an extremely valuable
collection of historic remains, inclu-
ding a four-wheeled chariot, richly
and quantity decorated, four sledges,
three of them curiously carved, sever
al beds, lintels, a mill, spinning
wheels, and a variety of kitchen uten-
sils. A diligent examination of these
has led to the conclusion that the fu-
neral ship belongs to the ninth cen.
tury.
Many of the ornaments, mostly OF
carved wood, are unique. The ship
and its strange cargo, constituting one
of the most important archaeological
finds ever made in Scandinavia, after
being carefully restored, will be placed
in the Christiania museum.

PRIMARIES DREW
OUT HEAVY VOTE
ALMOST AS MANY REPUBLICANS
AS IN REGULAR ELECTION
IN 1906.
DEMOCRATS ATTENDED MUCH
MORE LIGHTLY OR WENT TO
OTHER SIDE.
Madison. Sent. 17

manson, sept II.
The complaint which some people
have been making against the pri-
mary election law, that it does not
bring out the vote, seems unfounded
when one examines the results of the
recent primary election in Wisconsin.
Almost as many votes as were cast
for the republican nominee for gov
ernor two years ago were cast for
the republican candidates for United
States senator on September l. The
exact percentage is SO. The total re
publican vote on governor in the reg.
ular election of 1906 was 1873, 526.
The total vote for the republican can.
didate for governor in the recent prI-
mary election was 155,545, or IS per
cent. of the republican vote for gov
ernOr two years ago in the general
ell ction The total vote for the
rel llican candidates for United
States senator in the recent prima,
ries was 1s0,937, or SO per cent. Of
the total republican vote for governor
in the regular election of 1906.
The democratic party failed TO
make so good a showing. The to-
tai democratic vote for governor in
the 1906 election was 103,11 The
total democratic vote for the guber-
material nominee in the 1908 prima-
ries was 4O,6S9, or 40 per cent. of the
democratic vote for governor in the
election two years ago. 1t is inter
esting, too. that there was no con-
test on among the republicans for
governor in the 1908 primaries, but
IS per cent. of the vote of 1906 was
cast in the 1908 primaries on the re-
publican nominee for governor.
