THOMAS r. MARSHALL,
PuzxIiuo Orchid limitations.
Governor of Indiana.


Orchid limitations are puzzle to
flower scholars. The whole appear
ance of the flower is suggestive OF
some insect. sometimes to quite a re-
markable degree. 1t does not seem
easy to find any real purpose that
could be served by this resemblance.
yet no one imagines that it can be
accidental. Any one who knew of the
bee orchid. a native OF Europe. and
came upon it for the 6rst time would
at once recognize It. 1t seems to be
large. velvety brown backed bee
variegated with yellow. The two pet
ais might serve we'll for the wings of
the insect. In the center of the lip OF
the fly orchid there is a small blush
spot like the body Of fly. The two
lateral petals are slender and curiously
like the antennae of an insect. The
whole Illusion is complete and sug-
gests to the casual glance that a few
flies are hanging on the stem Of some
plant which has cast its howers.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

MAN IN ISOLATION.
He Is of Little Consequence and 10 a
Barrier to Progress.

He Is of Little Consequence and 10 a
Barrier to Progress.
1t is not an easy thing for man To
separate himself from the thought and
activity and purpose Of the community
in which he lives and to pursue an
isolated, disconnected and selfish part.
He can't do it, indeed, and If he tries
it he will only reduce himself to q
cipher or stumbling block. The COM
munity will get on somehow. for 1t
must, but If it has many members
Of this kind it will be dull. heavy and
unprogressive.
Man in isolation is of little conse-
quence. next to nothing. His associa-
ton with others, the inspiration he re-
ceives from others, draw out his own
powers. The state" to this day. as
Plato conceived it, remains "a product
of mind" Out Of the action and inter-
action of currents of mind, affected
and even directed by variant views or
opinions, comes the whole progress of
man. Of society, Of the human race.
We want what Burke described as
that action and counteraction which
in the natural and political world. from
the reciprocal struggle of discordant
powers, draw out the harmony of the
universe"
The most isolated man cannot sepa.
rate himself from the situation he lives
in If such isolation we're general or
could be general it would be the mega
ton of civilization.-Portland Orego-

Habit From the Dungeon.

Convicts who were forced to drag
about q ball and chain at the galleys
could often be detected when released
by their habit of trailing one foot
after the other. John Boyle OReilly,
condemned to convict life in Australia
for bis Fenian sympathies, had also in
after years habit which told like
sad story. One who knows him said:
When walking abstractedly and me-
chanically he always went short dis
lance and then retraced his steps. no
matter how wide a stretch he had be-
fore him. 1t was always three PAGES
forward, turn and three PAGES back,
exactly like the restless turning Of a
lion in a cage. One day asked him,
"Boyle. what was the length Of your
cell when you were in prison-how
many paces?"
Three" he said. "Why do you ask p
because when you are absentmind-
ed you always walk three PAGES for
ward and then retrace your steps,"

A Lesson In Physiology

The school superintendent was in
the habit Of dropping in to the differ
ent class rooms and demanding re.
cital of lessons from the pupils. One
day her active mind hit upon physiol-
ogy as the study for examination.
It happened that the teacher did
herself not like the study Of the hu-
man anatomy and therefore had not
drilled her scholars as she should have
done. But the little girl to whom the
first question was put so bewildered
the superintendent and made her lose
her patience that there were no more
questions Of similar nature asked.
Tell me-" said the superintendent.
"what a skeleton is"
The little girl thought for short
time.
"A skeleton?' she asked. "A skele-
ton? Why. skeleton Is man with
his insides out and his outsides OIL

ATHLETIC TRAINING.
TO Acquire an Excess Of Muscle May
Prove Injurious.

To Acquire an EXCESS OF muscle way
Prove Injurious.
Nothing could be more elusive than
the idea that by period Of athletic
training man can luy in stock Of
health and strength upon which he can
draw later while engaged in a seden-
tary occupa ton. The truth is that the
big muscles and hypertrophied heart
of the athlete are perilous possessions
for the man who no longer has the
time or the inclination for using them.
When he stops the exercises by which
he gained them. instead Of simply re-
turning to their original size they suf-
fer one or>another Of the many forms
Of degeneration and become incapable
Of performing their original services.
1t is not quite true that all exercise
for it's own sake is harmless, for it is
we'll to be prepared for the meeting Of
life's little emergencies as we'll as its
ordinary and daily demands. but it
probably is true that. the emergencies
apart, every man does enough in going
about his customary business and
pleasure to keep himself in the condi
ton which that business and pleasure
demand and that anything besides is
superfuous or injurious. That athletics
take one into the open air Is less a
commentator of athletics than an in
dictment Of our houses. offices and
stores for lack of adequate ventilation
If all the air we breathe was pure air
we could get along we'll enough with
out any open air at all. Any man who
has the muscle he needs for doing the
things he wants to do and should do
has all the muscle he ought - have
To acquire more is silly waste of
time and perilous besides.-New York
Times.

FEET OF SEA BEASTS.
Their Appearance When the Skin IL
Stripped OF.

Their Appearance When the Skin Is
Stripped OFF.
OF all the feet that l have looked at
know only one more utterly ridicu-
lous than the twisted Upper on which
the sea lion props his great bulk in
front. and that is the forked fly flap
which extends from the hinder part Of
the same. How can it be worth any
beasts while to carry such an absurd
apparatus with it just for the sake OF
getting out into the air sometimes and
pushing oneself about on the ice and
being eaten by polar bears? The por-
poise has discarded one pair, turned the
other into decent fms and recovered a
grace and power Of motion In water
which is not equaled by the greyhound
on land. Why have the seals hung
back? l believe I know the secret. 1t
is the baby! No one knows where the
porpoise and the whale cradle their
newborn infants-it IL SO difficult to
pry into the domestic ways Of these
sea people-but evidently the seals
cannot manage it. so they are forced
to return to the land when the cares Of
maternity are on them.
Il have called the feet of these sea
beasts ridiculous things. and SO they
are an we see them. But strip of the
skin, and. 10, there appears plain

eral joints. tipped with claws. nowise
essentially different. in short. from
that with which the toad or frog first
set out in a past too distant for our
infirm Imagination. Admiration itself

pie, so. transmutable and so sufficient
for every need that time and change
could bring.-Strand Magazine.

A Willing Scot.

Dean Ramsay has q story Of that
border hostility between English and
Scots which used to 60 to halter
lengths. A Scottish drover was re-
turning from the south In particularly
bad humor with the English. having
done poor business, when he saw In
Carlisle notice offering a reward of
ESQ to any one who would volunteer
for the unpopular task of hanging a
condemned criminal. Seeing his chance
to make up for his bad market and
comforting himself with the thought
that he was unknown there, he did
the job and got his fee. As he was
leaving he was tainted as beggarly
Scot, doing for money what no Eng
lishman would. But he answered, with
a cheerful grin. ''I'l hang re a. at the
price"

ploved Governor Eberhart of Mime
sofa, rising to the climax in his ad.
dress, declared he would make 1t his
business to bring about close COM
munity in interest between the trio
cities, states and country.
PurcetI's Speech.
Judge Purcell is beginning a speech
of good natured hits at South Dakota
and which teemed with raillery at the
presence of former North Dakotans
said that he occupied unique posi-
ton of deputy governor of North Da
kota. 1T seems to be the chief duty
of the governors of the northwestern
states to do what l am doing now,
he said, and and that they leave the
burdens of their office on the shout
ders Of others"
Getting down to figures Judge Pur-
cell continued: Indeed the three
states are great states. OF course in
North Dakota we think we take the
lead and tonight 1 am going to assert
that fact. This is that we raised 100,
900, 900 bushels of wheat. This wheat
is peculiar. When let alone it is
light but when once settled down in
the terminal elevators it swells.
think anyone will concede that we
raise the best wheat in the United
States. In conjunction with the mills
of Minneapolis we have spread the
fame of the Red River valley around
the world. It stands first in the
worlds history. The best -four is
made from the best wheat. If it were
not for the mills in Minneapolis the
wheat of North Dakota would not be
worth to the producer what it is, and
If it were not for the fields of North
Dakota the mills of Minneapolis
would not be always employed.
Banks Test OF Wealth.
1--WE have in North Dakota 500
banks with deposits OF $59,768, 900
That is one of the best tests of wheth-
er a country is prosperous or not
the amount of the deposits. AS to our
state those figures are not really &C
curate. Thousands of dollars are not
deposited, but are kept in trunks
chests and hiding pIaces. North Da
kota is the first on the water also
as represented by a fighting machine
The greatest destructive fighting ma
chine ever built is the North Dakota
Nothing has done more for North Da
kota than the merchants of the Twin
Cities. They met our merchants as
man to man. Our people sought advice
and received suggestions and they
hope these trips will continue and they
will get better acquainted. This club
in conjunction with such movement
can do much to make that community
Of interest more binding. These two
cities are the hub today around which
the business of the two Dakotas cen
ters."

New York Doctor Announces Discov-

In medical and lay circles the an
nouncenent made by DR.. Alexander
Lambert Of New York, visiting physi-
clan at Bellevue hospital. professor Of
clinical medicine at the Cornell Med.
ical college and physician to former
President Roosevelt, that he has dis.
covered speedy cure for the drug
habit and alcoholism has aroused much
public interest. Men Of his profession
are particularly interested
The fact that Dr. Lambert is physi.
clan Of high repute and a recognized
authority in the matter of specifics
lends credence to his contention that
the most confirmed drug f1neds are not
beyond cure.
1.-THE obliteration Of the craving for
narcotics is not a matter of months or
weeks" says DR.. Lambert, "but is &C.
complished in less than FIVE days. The
result Is often so dramatic that one
hesitates to believe 1t possible"
Here is the specific: Fifteen per cent
tincture Of belladonna. the fluid ex-
tract of xanthoxyium (prickly ash, and
the fluid extract Of hyoscyamus. mixed
In certain proportions.
The, cure. according to Dr.. Lambert,
can be effected with minimum OF snf.

His health will be 10 no way impaired
by the treatment or the deprivation Of
the drugs. On the contrary. phvsi-

all desire being eliminated. self con-
hdence Is restored to the paticut and

One way In which this treatment diff.

reversions to the wild state of race

various countries have travelled half
the road toward becoming wild ami

AS one sees the dingo here in the
gardens it looks not merely like do
mesticated dog. but like dog Of a
distinctly engaging and amicable kind.
The dingo's character bellies its gentle
looks. "Quarrelsome. sly and treach-
erous," an Australian naturalist has
called it. So sly is it that, according
to Mr.. Beddard in 1.-THE Cambridge
Natural History" it feigns death with
such persistence that an individual has
been known to be partly f1ayed before
moving and so treacherous that in the
days when dingos were more COM

statement of Thomas Ward that lone
dingo in the course Of a few hours

WOMEN IN TROUSERS.
Some Whose Work Compsis Them to

Some Whose Work Compeis Them to
Dispense With Draperies.
The idea of a woman in trousers
seems to be the most horrible that the
modern civilized mind can conjure up.
but there are parts Of the world where
women wear these garments as mat
ter OF course. and the heavens have
not yet fallen. They even contrive to
look charming In them. too. as In one
Of the cantons of Switzerland. where
the bifurcated garment is worn on
dress occasions as well as for work
Not even at the altar are the trousers
discarded. The bride wears white
ones, with a white bodice and white
flowers in her hair. and many a bride
In a court train Is less shy and sweet.
In spite Of their trousers, which are ne
cessitated by the work they do in the
fields, these women do not ride astride,
but use sidesaddle just like the
woman who is trammeled by skirts.
The trousers Of Switzerland are
loose. baggy affairs, sometimes almost
as cumbersome as skirts, but the peas
ant maids OF the Austrian Tyrol wear
short. close fitting small clothes, which
cannot impede their movements In any
way and which are not particularly
becoming. The socks do not meet the
trousers and the knee IL left bare. like
a highlander's. The upper part Of the
costume has some feminine touches.
and over the trousers is a short dra.
perry, which may be the remains Of q
skirt. These women work in the fields
and stables and are compelled by their
life to dispense with superfuous dra.
peries.
French and Belgian 6sherwomen
wear trousers. They wade through
the water. pushing their nets before
them. and the heavy waves would
soon sweep them of their feet II they
wore skirts. Even without them they
are obliged to go out in little parties
for mutual protection.
In China. where they do most things
differently from the rest Of the world,
the women wear trousers and the men
do not disdain skirts. The women also
smoke. In Turkey. before Paris fash

worn by the women. while the ciga
