Iowa has had worse legislatures than
the present. 1t might also be remarked
that Iowa has had better ones. The
100000 appropriation for grand

stand as the monumental idiocy of the
present session. But it might nave

MONKEYS POST SENTINEL.
Fiqht Under Leader and Roll Stones
 Down on Their Enemies.

Aesop's ape, it will be remembered. went on passing through human graveyard, overcome with sorrow for its dead ancestors, and that all mon- keys are willing enough to be more like us than they are they show by their mimicry.
 An old authority tells that the easiest way to capture apes is for the hunter to rretent to shave himself. then to wash his face. fill the basin with a sort of bird lime. and leave 1t for the apes to blind themselves. If the Chinese story is to be believed the initiative craze is even more fatal in another way, for if you shoot one monkey of a band with poisoned ar row. its neighbor. jealous of so unusual a decoration, will snatch the arrow from it and stab itself. only to have it torn-away by a third. until in suc- cession the whole troop have commit ted suicide.
 In their wild life baboons, as well as the langurs and many other monkeys. undoubtedly Submit to the authority of recognized leaders. There is CO., operation between them to the extent that Wnen IlSntlnB III toilpdHN ohc VIII go>to the help. of another when it is hard pressed.
 In rocky ground they roll down stones upon their enemies, and when making a raid, as on an orchard which they believe to be guarded. the attack is conducted on an organized plan, sen- tries being posted and scouts thrown out. which gradually feel their way for ward to make sure that the coast is clear, while the main body remains in concealment behind until told that the road is open.
 From the fact that the sentries stay posted throughout the rail getting for themselves no share of the plunder, 1t has been assumed that there must be some sort of division of the proceeds afterward. Man, again. has been diff ferentiated from all other creatures as being a tool using animal, but more than one kind of money takes a stone in its hand and with it breaks the nuts which are too hard to be cracked with its teeth.-London Times.

story. If Dr. Cook desired manufac- tured data, he was certainly better equipped for it's manufacture than the affiants. In the next place. the risk of disclosure would have deterred a man of ordinary judgment from taking partners into such fraudu- lent enterprise. In the third place. if he had taken them in, common pru- dence would have suggested to him the importance of leaving them with no financial grievance.
 Dr. Cook may or may not have discovered the north pole. There are several things in connection with his movements and his story of the dis covery that have to be cleared away before he will be fully accepted as the discoverer. But we do not think that his case is complicated by these latest affidavits. On the contrary they will more likely have the effect of swelling the volume of sympathy with him and will strengthen the suspicion that he is the victim of a conspiracy to discredit him.

DON'T GET UP TOO QUICKLY.

We think it true that persons of middle age or more-bcyond fifty should not assume an upright posi- ton immediately upon awakening from a nights sleep The danger from jumping up quickly upon awak- ening is a disturbance of the circula- tory apparatus. It is not on record that very many have succumbed at such time. but there is undoubtedly a severe strain upon the heart and blood vessels: the blood pressure at such a time and under such circum- stances is intense and is calculated to damage further weakened heart or arterial system. During natural sleep the functions of the heart, kidneys. lungs and intestines are less active. blood pressure being materially les sened Immediately upon becoming conscious. however, the activity of these functions is resumed, the heart beat increased as a result. the arter- ies. veins and capillaries for a time destined beyond the usual or until the natural speed-if we may be allowed to use the expression-of the machine is reached, namely. the equilibrium. This takes but a short time. and it would seem safe and wise to lie quies- cent until the equilibrium is reached, rather than to accentuate the rise of blood pressure still further by assum- ing an upright attitude. which can only increase the pressure and conse quently the distress. if any. exists.

MIR. AND MRS. sILLIoPs.
A Brief Discussion Between Them on
 the Subject of Divorce.

Elizabeth" said MT. Billtops to the gentle Mrs. Billtops. what would you think of getting a divorce from me?" = Mir. Biiltops had just been reading an account in the paper showing the facility and privacy with which di- vorces may now be obtained. and this was just a little joke of his to Mrs. Billtops: but Mrs. Billtops looked at him shrewdly and answered him in a way that really made him for the mo- ment uncomfortable; he felt free to joke with her in this fashion, but it wasn't pleasant to have her so joke with him.
 Why. Ezra" she said, what would be the sense of my doing that? I never could collect $10.00O.000 from you. could I? Even If [ should get di- vorce"-they smiled as they thought of how much less money they had available for such or any other pur- pose-'and so.'' she continued. but in different tone now and regarding MT. Bilitops unmistakably, 'I guess we'll have to keep on together Ezra, the best we know how. as we have always done to the end of our days. Besides" she added. 'I don't want a divorce any way" all of which modified MT. Bill tops considerably.
 At the same time he thought to himself that he wouldn't right away again try to joke Mrs. Billtops on the idea of getting a divorce from him. for he found that it jared him a little to think that Mrs. B. would con- sider such an idea, even jokingly.

Children in the Cherry Mine.

The investigation of the Cherry mine disaster may never fix exactly the responsibility for that horror. but there can be no question of the moral responsibility of the mine manage ment so far as the lost lives of chil- dren are concerned Such children as were there were employed in viola tion of the Illinois law. It is even possible that child labor was the cause of the fire. Mat Francisco. a l5-year-old boy. has testified that it was his carelessness which started the fire. His work was to push empty cars from the main shaft in the second vein over to the cage running to the third vein He has stated under oath that he pushed a loaded car of hay over to the ele- vator shaft leading to the third vein and left it standing close to blazing torch which ignited it.
 It may not be possible to deter mine whether it was practicable to have a different system of shafts in that mine. but there will be no di- vision of opinion as to the culpability of the men who placed children in the mine

WHAT THE CITIES ARE DOING.
Chicago Leads in Scheme for Providing
 Public Recre ation.

In the matter of recreation centers three places are chosen by writer in the American City as examples of what this country is doing. They are Chicago. Los Angeles and Brookline, Mass. the famous richest town in the world" the community which Is in but not of Boston.
 In Chicago where the whole grand scheme for providing public recreation. health instruction and physical exer- else has been worked out on a model basis, gymnasiums are prominent parts of the dozen south parks recreation centers and are being included in simi- lar institutions in other sections of the city.
 There are playgrounds for little children, other backgrounds for older children. athletic fields for young men and for young women. outdoor wading ponds and swimming tanks, open air gyrnnasiums with full equipment of apparatus, and indoor gymnasium adequately equipped and intelligentiy supervised for all.
 In Brookline the starting factor was a municipal bath. with a large swim ming pool. competent instruction in the art of swimming for all who wish to learn and practice and free opening to all citizens of the town. It Is as much a local institution as the public library or the fire engine houses It is more than local, for outsiders may use its privileges for nominal fee and na- tional swimming competitions are held there.
 Annexed to the bathhouse was erect ed a couple of years ago a gymnasium building for the free use of all the inhabitants. young and old and of both sexes. It is used to its capacity. It is in charge of a supervisor who earns s33.00O a year salary and has corps of assistants.
 The Los Angeles recreation center is designed to be an evening resort for the many hundreds of youths and young men who live in the boarding houses and lodging houses. of the vi- cinity" Costing nearly s40.000. it forms one part of a system of outdoor and indoor recreation center conducted by the municipal board of playground commissioners.

A New Consumption Cure?

Of consumption cures" there is no end, of course. but the latest has the merit of novelty. at any rate. It is rattlesnake venom. In the current number of the Journal of Clinical Medicine the results of preliminary investigation of rattlesnake poison as a curative agent are given in an ar ticle by Dr. Thomas J. Mays, who is touted as "well-known authority on consumption" He says:
 'The writer's own experimental study of this substance led him to believe that 1t profoundly affects the cerebro-spinal nervous system. and especially that part of the spinal cord which comprises the respiratory cen ter and other closely allied functions.
 'The cough and approximation. the two very harassing features in every case of phthisis almost without ex- ception. yield readily to the action of this drug. whether administered sub cutaneously or internally. or both. The patient has d decided increase in the treatment This has been so evil dent and so constant that it seemed almost anomalous in the absence of an increase of flesh

THE ISLAND OF NIckELS AND
 DIMES.

This past summer seven to eight million people made twenty million trips to Coney Island. They spent there forty five million dollars. mostly in 'nickels and dimes. and the total sum was three times what this nation paid to Napoleon for Louisiana, or six times what we paid Russia for Alaska.
 There are in Coney Island, peanut stands. the size of a broad top desk, that rent for fifteen hundred dollars a season. The men who sell frank furters" pay enormous sums for the right to stand where they do and get their money back in the nickles of the twenty millions.
 On weekdars the attendance Is large. but on Sundays and holidays it rises to a point where each visitor has room only to be happy standing still. On the Fourth of July four hundred thousand people crowded into the little island, bathed, shot the chutes, were photographed and ate red -hots" It was believed then that Coney would not hold a single additional visitor but came. making half a million in one day.
 It Is wonderful business-this Coney Island-but a very risky one. The nine hundred million nickles de- pend upon the weather. When the mercury drops. profits fall to nothing If a plague should break out and the island be quarantined boats would stop running and the people would stay in their city homes. The Coney Island farmer must harvest his crop of nickels while the sun shines.-Suc- cess Magazine.

AN ACCOMMODATING BOY

A Newark woman. who lives in an apartment house, changed her ice man not long ago. and the next day the youth who drove the team for the new man put the piece of ice on the dumb waiter in the basement to be hoisted up. She pulled away. 'Heavens!' she exclaimed. that new ice man certainly gives good weight" After much effort she got the dumbwaiter up to the kitchen level. To her amazement there was small boy sitting upon the ice. With what little breath she had left she demanded: What in the world did you make me pull you up here for?"
 Why" replied the youngster. q thought maybe the cake would be too heavy for you to lift. so I came up to help you off with it."-Lippincott's.

The Latest Anti Cook Affidavits.

Interest in the polar controversy, which was becoming more or less of a bore, has been renewed by the affidavits of three New York men that they assisted Dr. Cook in the preparation of his polar data It does not appear that any of the affiants were especially fitted for this kind of work. It will appear. however. that the affidavits of men that they had participated in such a fraud and had been moved to a disclosure by the failure of Dr. Cook to pay them in full for their scientific services. are hardly worthy of belief.
 The circumstances arc against the
