STRAIT OF Messtna Revealed Mystery ct
the Snakelike Fish.
In the strait of Aessina are channels
of immense depth. through which ii
wild tide s'lrges, and owing probably
TO Irregularities ut the bottom there
are whirling eddies which have tina
effect of bringing up from the depths
below many marine creatures which
are rarely seen except in the deep sea
travis.
1t Was here that the larvul form Of
u fresh water eel was first discovered.
an incident which threw blaze Of
light on the life history of Il very mys-
terious fish.
All kinds of theories had been given
forth with regard to the propagation
of the eel. Some mturalists declared
they bred in fresh water others that
Whey visited the cstllaries for spawning
purposes. but thanks to the discovery
off Messina and later captures of the
eel in its larval form 1t is practically
certain that after mature cells drop
down our rivers in autumn they HE
them to exceedingly deep water in the
sea and there deposit their eggs.
From the egg comes a little ribbon
shaped creature. the larval form. In
due course this changes into an eel OF
still smaller size, strange to say. AMI
these small cells or elvers aflerward
ascend our rivers ard there remain
until they reach maturity. when they
in their turn descend to the sr;l aud
history is repeated.-London Telegraph.

The Hebrew Sabbath, including its

the American Hebrew
In the morning comes the baking Of
"chales" (brcad). How bewltching for
a child to watch the mother making
different shapes of dough, smearing It

This is especially true in regard 10

Hamburg Republican. To be
in Nebraska and be on the east
side of the Missouri river is a
peculiar situation, yet such is
true of those who live on Nc
Kissick's island, five miles
southwest of Hamburg. They
reside in Nemeha county, Nebr.
and go to Auburn to transact
their county affairs. 1t is quite
a task for them to do so, as
they must cross the river at
Nebraska City or Peru and
either is a long road to get to
the destination which is so short
q distance. McKissick's islan]
was formed by the river chang
ing its course from a big curve
southwest of Hamburg to its
present confines against the
Nebraska bluffs.

Horses IN Literature.

In sacred writ it was deemed worthy
of record that Solomon imported horses
from Egypt. while the description Of
the war steed in Job is accounted one
OF the finest parts of that piece of lit
eraturp. In Greek myth and English
satire the qualities ascribed to Ccntaur
and the Houyhnhnms testify sufficient
ly to the high regard in which the
horse has ever been held. The name
Of lsucephalus is inseparably coupled
with that of Alexander AT least one
Roman emperor had divine hcnors paid
10 his charger. Who can picture don
Quixote sleeping on his armor with
out seeing the princely Itosinante teth-
cred under the dewy night? And the
stirring incidents of John Gilpin's ride
conclusitely proved that the racing
blood Of far removed equine ancestors
was not entirely wanting in the de-
generate descendant.

"a Years Study Of Jesus Life.
That is the opportunity which
this years Sunday school lessons
afford.
Jesus Christ is the central fig
+ure of Christianity. His life,
death and resurrection are the
foundation stones of our relig-
ion. If they are not facts then
there is nothing about religion
which is worth paying attention
to. Historians, explorers, scien-
lists and literary critics have
done their best and their worst
to overthrow the evidence
of these facts or to establish
them. What they found is be-
ing written by the lesson writ
ers of all denominations of
Christians and by publishers of
independent concerns knowing
that there is a great demand
for information on these mat
tiers. Twenty one millions are
in Sunday school classes today.
/ have formed a class for MEN
who wish to make this study.

The Painless President.
To anyone who has ever lad
any experience with a 'painles s
dentist or indeed, any other
kind of quack, the present oc-
cupant of the White House
must ever be a vivid reminder
of the suave, smooth CRATER
who pulls your leg and tooth at
the same time and all ope ra-
tions "painlessly," oh yes,
"painlessly" for the time being
but, and so with any business
that isn't done strictly upon it's
merits. The most important
feature of a dental operation
or an operation upon any other
part of the human system, is
not immunity from pain near
so much as that it shallbe done
tn oroughly and correctly ard
we'll done, with the greatest
promise of success as to perpe-
tuety and comfort to the sub
ject. This manner of operating
doesn't always bring glory or
riches to the operator, but it
certainly tends to the cultivs :
ton of conscience and sound
sleep o'nights. The no cure no
pay painless quacks in the pro-
fessions are reaping the dollars.
And so with Taft, every move
he makes and every smile he
SMIRKS is done with a view
to conciliate some warning fac
tion so they will be in line and
not oppose him next time in
1912. Roosevelt may have
made many mistakes, but, he
wasn't forever and anon smirk-
ing on some one. He wasn't
good Lord and good devil as
our present executive. If the
American people could get to-
gether once and resolve to
elect statesmen instead of poll
ticions we would have less Pin
Chef ollinger affairs to inves-
tigate. Taft, this very week
is IN the anxious seat as to
whether he will be able to
please the 'patters' and pacify
insurgents at one and the same
time. Do you suppose Roose-
welt would have thought for
one moment about second term
when it come to doing right;
doing his duty? Not on your
silhouette. Roosevelt was not
upholstered that way. He was
no painless plunderer. Roose-
welt was there to hew to the
line; to deal out justice, togive
the greatest good to the great
est number. Roosevelt didn't
care tinkersdam whether the
patient ever returned or not,
he intended to perform the op-
GRAFTON in hand correctly even
though he be mandamussed
the next moment, But say
gentle reader, if you think we
have a president with a smile
that won't come off, you better
get disillusioned, for, in this
hour, when he is closeted with
his very close friends'-as our
old friend, George Warns, used
to say-he has a careworn ex-
preston and much fear of
what the future may bring
forth pervades his mighty
frame and retards digestion.
Better be Roosevelt and give
the people a square or nearly

The Northwestern, the Har-

The Northwestern, the Har-
riman lines and the st. Paul
have decided to change the
names of the Overland Limited
train, which leaves Chicago
every day and makes the run
to the Pacific coast in seventy
two hours. 1t will be known
as the San Francisco Limited.
In order to retain some con-
nection with the name Overland
the cars which are to be used in
these trains will be lettered to
read: "San Francisco Limited,
Overland Route" The reason
for the change in name is said
to be on insistent demand by
CalforniaPqs to have the train
bear a name which shall have
some connection with the Paci.
fic ceast.s- The name Overland
Limited has been known for
fifteen years, and was given
the first through train of this
character between Chicago and
San Francisco over the North
western and the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific roads.
About six years ago the st.
Paul secured the right to use
the same name, much to the
disappointment of the North
western. Since that time the
name has:applied equally to the
trains ohboth roads.
