Best Man In the Service.

When Commissioner Leupp Of the
Indian bureau searched the records of
his department "for the best man in
his service" to send to the Mission res
eryations In California he picked Miss
Clara True. His reason for desiring
the most capable man in his service
was because Of the desperate condi-
ton into which the Mission Indians
had fallen through the operations of a
strong whisky ring which had estab-
lished strong hold on the Indians
and which never had been successfully
coped with. Miss True has already
won marked success in the same line
of work at the Morongo reservation, in
California. Here the liquor evil had
become a Scourge, and the Indians
were notorious throughout the state.
for their lawlessness.
What that little woman endured in
her struggle to evict the whisky ring
that had operated at such profit for
years her eastern sisters can scarcely
realize. She was first offered bribes.
then intimidation Of every sort, from
the circulation of unpleasant stories
about her to anonymous letters threat
ening death, and finally she was shot
at from ambush. And In addition to
all this trouble with the whisky men
she was forced to fight land thieves
and cattlemen who had been in the
habit Of using Indian land as though
1t was their own. But In the end she
was the victor, and the Mission reser-
vation is rapidly becoming one Of the
models of the Indian office.
Miss True weighs only 40 pounds,
but she is as 1.-the as years Of riding
in the saddle can make her. She is
approaching her fortieth birthday.

Vatican Mosaic Factory,

The Pope maintains a mosaic fac
tory in the Vatican. Here the patti
ent artists works in a gallery lined
with 10000 lockers in which repose
sticks of silica of all the myriad
varying shades required to reproduce
the tints from canvas. A solid wood
en-backed panel is smoothly filled
with plaster to the depth of an inch.
On this the mosaic-worker copies
the painting to be reproduced. Then
day by day he cuts out little chunks
all fills up the gap with inch-long
bits of the silica. Thus the picture
grows roughly in stone. In three or
four years a work 2k by 3 u can be
turned out. 1t is then ground down
to uniform smoothness with water
and sand under fiat iron disks. Then
the painting stands revealed. There
is little gallery full of the work
for sale. A piece eighteen inches
square can be had for $1,000.

FOR THE GROWING GIRL.
Should Be Taught That She Has q
Right to Good Health.

1t is easier for girl of the grow
ing age to injure herself than for
the mature woman. The bones are
not thoroughly hardened, there are
changes taking place in the anatomy,
the body has not become settled, it
is growing, expanding, developing
and strength is absorbed in the pro-
cess. For these reasons a girl should
learn to exercise properly If she is
to derive benefit.
l know Of one sensible mother
who, as soon as her child was able
to stand alone, taught her to use sim
pie culture exercises on rising and
tion of the hands over the head,
then came swinging of the legs, hit
ting out from the body, lying on the
floor and kicking the air. At six
the child could fill half hour with
elaborate exercises and not feel the
strain. To see the tiny body, filled
with the unconscious grace of baby
hood, go through the exercises and
consider it as much of a routine as
she did taking her bath, having her
hair combed or brushing her teeth,
was a delight.
Other exercises were added as
she grew, and this girl at eighteen
would never think Of dressing or pre-
pairing for bed without her beauty
culture helps. She can understand
in school what many Of her compan-
ions cannot, for ever since babyhood,
she has been cultivating what aids in
the making of health. She is we'll
developed, stands erect with chest
expanded, and has good lung capac-
ity.
A girl should be taught that she
has right to good health, for it is
usually when we become conscious
of the possession Of any organ that
we discover something the matter,
still girl should understand that 1t
is due to herself and others that she
take every means to keep in good
physical condition.
If the basis of good health is ne
elected before twenty there are many
chances that it will be for the re-
mainder of life. Even If the girl at
length realizes that she has been
neglectful of herself, and starts in
to correct defects, valuable time has
been lost that might have been i'm
proved, if only the girl early in life
had been taught few simple hy-
gienic rules.

DANGEROUS CANNON CRACKER.

That July day is rapidly approach
ing when, in all probability, we shall
kill and injure some two thousand
of our young people in celebration
of the Declaration of Independence.
1t is the cannon cracker that is
responsible for most of these casu-
alties. Other forms of explosives
and fireworks have their victims, but
for wholesale homicide, combined
with arson, there is no villain like
the cannon cracker. In one year
nearly fifteen hundred injuries, a
number of them fatal, and vast
number of fires were directly due
to this miscreant.
This year representatives of forty
cities met in Pittsburg to discuss
means of making the Fourth of July
less dangerous. Some communities
have already forbidden the sale of
high explosives to children. The
time may not be far distant when
pageants and athletic contests will
take the place of shooting in the
days proceedings, and when moth
ers may look forward to our ma
tional birthday without dread.

Microbes.

Microbes came into existence
about fifteen years ago. Since then
they have multiplied so that they
form one of our staple products.
Microbes are Of two kinds: the
profitable and the Improbable. They
are also called germs, a germ being
micorbe who has been through COL
lege, But generally speaking, a mi
crobe by any other name costs just
as much.
There is no law against the manu-
facture of microbes by minors. so
that every one, down to the most
diminutive infant, is constantly en-
gagged in their culture. They are
distributed b. flies. wind and doc
tors. being one of the most impor-
tant assets of medical science.
One of the best ways to get col
lection of microbes is from the ruby
lips Of a sweet girl. Do not take
them all at once, but only on the
installment plan. Remember also
that there are good microbes and
bad ones. The good microbe wears
plain clothes, is always ready to roll
up his sleeve and go to work in a
good cause; has sincere, open,
hearty, bluff manner, and looks you
straight in the eye. The bad micro
be is dressed in gaudy colors smiles
a crafty smile, and has sandbag up
his sleeve. When an army of bad
microbes. travelling rough-shod
through your system, is suddenly
met by an army OF good microbes a
fierce battle ensues. And if the lat
ter win it makes you feel good. But
If the former win you feel devastat-

because that will reduce their price,
thus hurting the trusts and helping
the people at the same time. AS
every senator knows, l told tenaci-
ously to the opinion that the only
way to destroy the trusts now in
existence and to prevent the forma-
tion of others is to send the men who
organize and operate them to the
penitentiary, and l am confident that
the next few years will bring all men
to concur in my opinion. But while
l am waiting for that time to come,
and ignoring the embarrassment
which will arise from the loss of
revenue, | am ready to put the finish
ed product of every trust in America
on the free list; but 1 utterly refuse
to insult the intelligence of my
countrymen by asking them to believe
that l help the people by levying
a duty on what they buy from the
trusts and that l hurt the trusts by
removing the duty on what they buy
from the people,"
Mr.. Bailey's speech was in the main
devoted to an effort to show thCt free
raw material was not cardinal
Democratic doctrine and that he had
never advocated such doctrines. He
was willing to admit that during
the time when Mr.. Cleveland and his
friends dominated our party, they
did commit it to the supreme folly of
giving our manufacturers free trade
in what they buy while leaving them
protection on what they SELL" He
had, however, in season and out of
season denounced this as radical
departure from the well established
principles and policies of the Demo-
cratic fathers. After citing many
authorities he traced the advocacy of
free raw material to the late Hon.
Abram S. Hewitt, of New York, but
declared that this doctrine had never
commanded any substantial support
among the leaders or with the rank
and file of that sturdy Democracy
which won so many victories and ad-
ministered this government with
such consummate wisdom through so
many years"
Referring then to the position of
Hon. Roger @. Mills, of his own state.
Mr.. Bailey pointed out that as far
back as 1896 he, Mr.. Bailey, had
taken position against free raw ma
terial. He said that in 1900 he had
canvassed his state everywhere de-
nouncing this fallacy,' and that
he had been elected to the senate on
that issue among others.
Concluding Mr.. Bailey expressed
that the time would come
when with Democratic majority in
the senate, he would be called upon
to aid in passing a Democratic tariff
bill, and he said he did not desire to
then be upbraided for casting vote
against the principles of the old time
Democracy. AT their side | stand,
and with them | am ready to be
judged, declaring, as | have always
done, and as l shall do with my lat
est breath, that the sum of all good
is comprehended in the
maxim that all shall enjoy equal
rights, and none shall have special
it When my course
is run there may be many who will
think that | have not fought a good
fight, but there shall be none who
can justly say that | have not kept
the faith

Between science and religion there
never was, and never will be, the
least conflict. Science Is "systema-
tized knowledge" while religion is
sentiment of the SOUL" and be-
tween the two there can be not only
no conflict, but not even so much as
an argument. Science has nothing
to say concerning the truth or falsity
of the deliverances Of the religious
sentiment, for the moment science
attempts to do such thing 1t ceases
to be science. There are many af-
tirmations Of theology that science
opposes, but it has no quarrel with
the spiritual sense. In word, sci
ence Is neither religious nor irreligi-
Gus. 1t is simply non-:eligious-
having nothing to say upon the SUBJ
ject, one way or the other.
