Odd Source of Revenue.

The last of the French lotteries re-
GENTLY had it's first drawing. The last
State lottery in England took place
nearly a hundred years ago. When,
in 1907, the pious Wilberforce had
succeeded in abolishing the slave
trade, he asked his friend Thornton
what they should abolish next. "The
lottery" said Thornton; but it was
not till 1926 that the lottery made its
final departure. North once wanted
raise s4S0,000 by lottery, says the
London Graphic. 1t was opposed by
the most reckless gambler in the
House-Charles James Fox. 1t was
approved by man who never gam
bled at all-King George the Third.
Unless" the King wrote, man
kind could be prevented from gaming.
1 am certain it is right for the public
to avail itself of that vice rather than
levy taxes on the necessaries of life. :"
And many Englishmen who now
find their industry and thrift penal
lied by taxation may think there was

Confucius.

Confucius regarded his own life as
failure. He spoke against ambition,
yet he coveted high Office, nothing
less than that of political adviser to
some great ruler A man of the high
est lineage in China, he was yet poor,
and early supported himself by teach
ing. His pupils showed him an extra
ordinary devotion. The pick of the
young men in his native State of Lu
sat at his feet, and it was they who
transmitted his tremendous influence.
But Confucius saw not his immortal
success, but his temporal failure.
Only for few brief years did circum-
stances permit him to exercise his
practical genius for government. He
became first a magistrate, then Chief
Criminal Judge in Lu, and, to quote
Professor Legge, "crime ceased +"
Confucius, however, became dissatis-
fed with the ruler whom he served, a
weak man who neglected his duty
and gave himself up more and more
to dissipation. So he resigned his
post and banished himself.-Specta

INDIANS AS CHURCH MEMBERS.
Deeply Religious, Once They Are

|
| It has been only few decades
since the selfsame Indians who now
are taking an active interest in the
religious life of Oklahoma were ter
rorizing the Southwest with their
deeds of cruelty. During this month
the annual Comanche revival will be
held west of Cache. Last year fifty
converts were taken in through the
influence of the camp meeting.
| The Indian, when converted, is
deeply religious and enjoys. more
than the average white man, the
| privilege of holding and attending re-
| ligious meetings. His preference is
for camp meetings, as this form more
closely resembles the conventions
| held by the tribes before their con-
| version to Christianity. Ut is the
custom for the Methodists and Bap-
fists in particular to hold camp meet
ings for the India1 tribes, among
whom they have been doing mission
airy work. The Kiowas and Conan
ches are especially favorable to these
open air gatherings and attend in
great numbers each summer.
The Catholics hold first place in
doing missionary work among the In.
dams of the Southwest, with the
Methodists and Baptists close togeth-
er for second place, and the Presby-
terian and Episcopalians in third po'
sition. Recent Congressional action
has given all these denominations the
control and ownership of the church
and school lands, which they have
improved by the erection of buildings
thereon. Each of these denominations
has numerous schools and churches
for the red men throughout the new
State, and occasionally may be found
buildings belonging to one Of the
many denominations.
Edwin Miller, a fullblood Delaware
Indian, was recently ordained min
lister of the Gospel, following an ex
animation before the Baptist commits

enon of the North.

Shooting up froi behind bank OF
black clouds on The northern hori-
Zon, the aurora borealis illumined
the entire northern, heavens for sever
al hours with an unusual brilliance.
The phenomenon appeared first about
7 o'clock, and the spectrum of the
rays, carrying all the colors of the
rainbow, did not fade until II o'clock.
Just after dark ray of light shot
toward the zenith of the sky, then
other rays appeared. and little later
the brilliant sight was perfected with
concentric arcs of color. Then the
entire northern sky was lighted with
an uncanny glow, which was particu-
larly bright in the northeast.
Greenish stems of light flashed
from the most northern points of the
horizon to the very top of the heav-
ems; then these were succeeded by
shafts of peculiar blush tint, fol-
lowed by flashes of white, indistinct,
cloudlike forms. An hour after the
spectrum faded it suddenly reap
peared, and a moment later as in
stantly was extinguished.
Until after midnight wavering
beams of light flashed in the sky,
while puffs of smoky white appeared
here and there like flashes of heat
lightning. When the electrical dis
play was at the height of it's beauty
score of thin shafts pointed straight
from the north into the sky like ribs
of fan. Thousands of persons were
attracted by the phenomenon and
watched the play of the lights during
the evening. Little or no trouble was
experienced by the telegraph compa-

INSOMNIA
Leads to Madness, IL Not Remedied in
Time.

Experiments satisfied me, some 5
years ago." writes a Topeka woman,
that coffee was the direct cause of
the insomnia from which l suffered
terribly, as well as the extreme ner-
rousness and acute dyspepsia which
made life most painful thing for me.
Il had been a coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all
this harm. But It was, and the time
came when had to face the :act. and
protect myself. I therefore gave up
coffee abruptly and absolutely, and
adopted Postum for my hot drink at
meals.
II began to note improvement in
my condition very soon after l took
on Postum. The change proceeded
gradually, but surely, and it was a
matter OF only few weeks before
found myself entirely relieved-the
nervousness passed away, my diges-
tive apparatus was restored to normal
efficiency. and began to sleep rest
fully and peacefully.
These happy conditions have con-
tinued during all Of the s years, and
am safe in saying that ! owe them
entirely to Postum. for when began
to drink it I ceased to use medicines"

Vegetables

The catacombs of Hythe Church In
Kent contain many thousands OF
skulls of ancient Britons or Saxons,
in nearly every one Of which the
teeth are sound, albeit bearing evil
dence Of hard wear and tear on
bones and animal flesh. Therefore
we may safely deduce that
our carnivorous forefathers were OF
stronger mold and harder physique
than the present generation, who are
being urged to conform to nature
on a mess of heritage.
Thus does a human carnivore in
the Saturday Review dispose of the
vegetarian creed He is SO thorough
ly wrought up over the plot OF this
dietetic sect to transform the Briton
into a meek, cool-blooded, peace-lov-
ing individual that, as he himself ad-
mits, he finds it hard to be temper

lacking the very vitals of the ma
ton" by their efforts to eliminate the
combative passions, and British de-
cadence can be traced directly to
their propaganda. In this strain ne
gnashes his own teeth through two
columns of BREWER.
In subsequent issue of the same
journal Mr. Eustace Miles, shining
light among the neo-dietists, makes
a mild and typically vegetable reply.
There are, he says, some good tight
ing nations whose food is largely
vegetable. England owes her empire
to men who ate meat not oftener
than once a week. Granted attn
letes and strong men have every
where beaten meat-eating competi-
tors AS to teeth, no vegetarian ad-
vocates Stops, and vegetables are just
as good to exercise the teeth on as
meat. Thus weakly do the herb idol
ators attempt to parry the brilliant
attack Of this new adversary.
1t is of no use, however; the truth
is out at last, and every British pa.
triot who may have been seduced
away from roast beef by the specious
arguments of the vegetarians (the
WORKOUT kidneys, clogged livers, brit
tie arteries, congested brains, etc..
laid to meat eating) will, to put 1t
expressively, chuck the whole bloom
in vegetable mess and go back to
the butcher. He will purchase sup.
ply of assorted bona, and gnaw them
as opportunity offers. so that he can
grow strong and sturdy like the pre-
historic Briton. And if, because he
has to sit in an Office all day, has
little physical exercise, sleeps in

himself to blame. There are plenty
Of places in the world where he can
escape from these demoralizing and
destructive features of civilization. In
Africa. for instance, are tribes that
for centuries have passionately chung
to their original simple customs of
life. Ths healthy, ideal state which
prevailed among them in the year

hatched out in latrines and ash-pit
refuse, such as bedding, straw, rags

which substances the larvae subsist
after they hatch, which occurs in
about twelve days after the egg has
been laid. It is estimated that a
single fly, laying 120 eggs at time,
will produce a progeny amounting to
sextillions by the end OF the season.
The numbers OF bacteria upon a
single fly have been proved to range
all the way from $50 to 100000. The
average for 414 flies which were ex.
