Columns of the CREssEr, so far

(mineraD is the true source Of
life as far as we know, and I say
now that the minerel is also the
true source of mind as we'll be-
cause no two Minerels that are
opposite in their nature can
dwell together in harmony, some
llavc affinity for each other while
others are antagonistic to each
other, some will cling together
il close embrace, as though they
were 'oving each other, while
others will fight and do all they
can to destroy each other. and
one Of the two always succeeds
in over powering the other, now
this is proof to my mind that We
do rot get our mind only from
the minryel But car disposition

ODD EFFECT OF COLOR.
Baskets Of Bright Yellow Flowers
Make Artist Happy for Week.

Environment, mental suggestion, the
effects of color and the effects Of har-
mony on the nervous system have for
years been a part of the treatment
given to insane patients not only by
advanced physicians abroad, but in the
New York State Asylum at Central
Islip. DR.. George Smith, the physician
in charge of the huge institution, re-
lates many interesting results from
such treatment. Should any one doubt
the effect of certain colorS on the nerve
cenrers of living creatures, let him
wave a red flag at a bull and note
result.
In San Francisco met one afternoon
an artist who appeared to be in an un-
usually sunny temper-a mood so for
eign to his nature that was forced to
ask the cause. 'I just came past the
Chronicle corner" he replied, where
the flower hoys have baskets and bas-
kets of bright yellow peoples on the
curb. The memory of those flowers
glistenipg in and rejecting the sun
will make me happy for a week"
Tine effect of color on even the lower
animal life is testified to by a bright
little woman with a scientific turn, who
experiments with two tiny alligators
which she has had for several years.
The grotesque little pets are frequently
allowed to run on the rug in the sun.
Invariably they select the brightest
spots on which to rest. She placed sew
eral pieces of different colored muslin
in their box and watched to make GER
tain of their penchant for color. They
deliberately crawled over the dull
shades and rested contently on the
pink. After making the experiment
several times with the same result She
lined their box with pink, and the little
creatures are presumably happy.-Les-

HIS GOOD GUESS.
Parson Won Farmers Heart by

An old Cambridge friend of mine
who had a good deal Of wisdom Of
the serpent in him had farmer In his
parish in Norfold whom he could not
get TO church. Whenever he pressed
upon him his neglect or his bad exam
pie he was always met with the same
excuse, "You be too young and do not
know enough to teach such as l." AT
last he gave up the farmer in despair
But one day he happened to pass by
the farm while his parishioner was
engaged in killing a. fine pig. MY
friend said what pig! Why. he
weighs thirty-four stones" What
dost thou know of pigs?" replied the
farmer. Il only wish he weighted as
much" When they next met the farm
err to his surprise, told my friend that
the pig had been found.to weight just
thirty-four stones. He added, much to
my friends qualification, "And thou
wilt see me at church next Sunday,

the law passed by the legislature

So, $50, 900 for the new state prison is
valid and not contrary to the consti-

Judge Charles L. Lewis wrote a
dissenting opinion in which he de.
clares the words Certificates OF
indebtedness were used as a techni.
cal means of getting around the con.
stitutional prohibition against the
issuance of 'bonds," but that their
real character was Identical.
The suit was friendly test case to

New Business College.

Miss Anna Kennedy, for nearly ten
years one of the most efficient en-
ployes of the International Harvester
company at St. Cloud, has decided to
open a business college in that city.
Miss Kennedy is recognized as one of
the most painstaking and competent
bookkeepers and stenographers in the
middle west. She has had long and
thorough training in all branches of
clerical work, which abundantly
qualities her for the work in which she
is about to engage. Persons intend
ing to take up business course will
receive just the training necessary for
successful work at her school. Ali
correspondence should be addressed
to the Kennedy Business College, ST..
Cloud, MINI. The Princeton Union
takes great pleasure in recommending
Miss Kennedy in the very highest
terms.
