Good Cheer at Table.

From the Springfield Union.
1t is a well known fact that good di-
gestion depends on favorable condition
Of the mind and nerves when ones din
ner is eaten no less than on the quality
of the dinner itself. The doctrine of good
cheer at the table rests not merely on u
moral or sentimental basis, but on one
distinctly physiological. Confusion in
serving d meal, haste in eating 1t, the
discussion of household troubles or bust
ness worries, the consumption of the
repast in sullen silence-any or all of
these tend to produce the evil that en-
cages the attention of school authorities.
The atmosphere of the dinner Is deter
mined largely by the adult members of
the family, but extends inevitably to the
children, who frequently suffer in con-
sequence both in disposition and general
health. And the lack of the right atmos-
phere at the dinner table is quite likely
to lead to indifference in preparing the
meal, so that the result is the ABDOMINAL BILE
state Of things presented when a dinner
is poorly cooked. badly served and eaten
in mood of peevish discomfort. 1t is
to be feared that table enthusiasm is
indeed lost art in too many homes.

Do It Now.

Every time the change-of-date PROPOSE
ton has been preached to Congress
disposition has developed to complcate
it by bringing into consideration such
questions the proper time for the con-
vening of Congress and the relation be-
tween the presidential and congressional
terms This was the rock on which the
craft split eight years ago. when, with
the second Mckinley inauguration storm
as an incentive. the citizens urged Con-
greSs to adopt the Change-of-date amend
ment. 1T was then thought by the adj
vocates of a later inaugural that COM
bnation of that project with the plan for
an earlier session of the newly elected
Congress would most surely>~lead to &C
ton. AS soon as the subject came under
discussion in the House committee. how
ever. il was found that this was mis-
take and the constitutional lawyers soon
began to revel in the complexities and
puzzles offered by the contemplated SHIFT
in the federal program.
This is d very simple situation. The
American people have demanded that
the President be inaugurdted at a time
when they can attend the ceremonies
without risk to their lives. To meet this
demand. il is necessary only to adopt all
amendment prolonging the present presi-
Dental term from March to some date
in late April. and making the latter date
thenceforth the beginning and ending Of
the presidential term. This has nothing
whatever to do with the congressional
term, save that the life of each Congress
will under such an arrangement expire
in April instead of early March.
The press of the country is practically
unanimous in demanding a change Of
date Every one of the 600 600 visitors to
Washington last week is returning home
an enthusiastic advocate of the amend
ment. Congress is soon to meet In extra
session. and If it does not before adj
iournment adopt the proposed amend
ment for submission to the legislators it
will disappoint the expectations Of

will not be accomplished if difficulties are
conceived at the outset. 1t is no under

| be done in the spirit OF doubt The men
who declare that the Constitution can
never again be amended are OF no help.

work out other possible readjustments are

Now, as the drowsy afternoon lay
upon the countryside, as the great
furry bees with their golden chains,
like city aldermen, went droning past
MIN, there was sense of peace and
quiet joy, which came back to him
with all the tenderness and sweet
ness of an old song.
They came into the village. The
thatched cottages, covered with wis.,
tarfa; the gardens, brilliant with old.
fashioned flowers (stocks, and phlox,
and hollyhocks), nestled among huge
elms. On the other side of the little
green road rose the gray Norman tow
er of the church and the red roofs Of
the rectory
Basil had arrived
He got down from the carriage and
sent the man to the local inn, and
then walked up the trim graveled
sweep to the old house.
The maid servant who opened the
door took him at once to a long, low
ceilinged drawing room, fragrant with
pot-pourri and all the simple refine
ments of such house as this.
The sunlight poured in through the
open French windows, which gave
upon the lawn. There was the distant
murmur of the moving machine. Here,
indeed. was tranquility and peace.
Then the door opened, and Daisy

Travelling by WheeIbarrow.

The earl of Ronaldshay, M. p, says
that in these parts of China to which
the Pekin cart has not yet penetrated
the wheelbarrow affords an agreeable
substitute. In the province of Such
uan he perceived the leisured classes
who do not aspire to the dignity of a
chair being trundled along in these
vehicles, the rate of hire being two
cash per Ii, roughly two-thirds Of a
farthing per mile.
Even in the coast towns, where
many forms Of conveyance are avail
able, the wheelbarrow finds favor
among the lower classes, and in
Shanghai he found factory hands
wheeled daily to the scene of their
labors on barrows of exaggerated
size, six men to a barrow, at a con-
tract price of GO cents man month.
