A press notice has the following to
say regarding his lectures: AS was
expected by all who have heard the

adventure in Chaplain MacQueen's ex-
tensive repertoire, this one was full OF
charming description of scenes and
peoples and of thrilling adventure. In
deed, so hazardous at times had been

LONGEVITY.

DR.. Cressy L. Wilbur of the United
States Bureau of Vital Statistics,
doesn't take much stock in the re-
ports which one reads occasionally as
to the extreme age reached by a few
people. In other words, he does not
believe that any man, ancient or mod
ern, ever lived more than 10 years,
and he doubts if any have lived that
long. He says that he has investi-
gated a number of reports of persons
having attained the age of 12O years,
and one report where it was alleged
the person had reached the limit Of
120 years, but he has not been able
to verify any such allegation.
DR.. Wilbur would fix the limit of
mans life on this sphere at some
thing like 106 years. He states that
there are unquestionably cases where
persons have reached such a limit,
but beyond that limit there is no posi-
tive proof of existence.
There is really no advantage in
dragging out" few years at the end
of the course, so that it would make
no difference, so far as the last ten
years of a mans life is concerned,
whether he lived to be 100 or 10.
But, in as much as the man who lives
to be 10 ought to be expected to re-
tain all of his faculties for greater
period of time than the man who dies
at 100, it makes a whole lot of diff
ference how long a man lives.
There is something more than idle
curiosity connected with the study Of
longevity. 1t is very important to
know how long the oldest man has
lived.
When a man lives to a greata age,
there is, of course, a reason for it,
Just as there is a reason why every
man does not live to great age. If
we determine, as we ought to be able
to determine, why one man lives to
be 100, we would know how almost
any other man could live to the same
age. For, despite the ancient maxim
to the effect that zone mans meat is
another mans poison" the fact re-
mains that all men are constituted so
nearly alike that that which will pro-
long life in one instance will prolOng
it in another.-Joliet (Ill.) Evening
Herald.

The Holstein COW which claims
the worlds record for 80 days but
ter production is owned by New
York dairyman. The name of this
queen of the dairy is De Kol Queen
La Polka I'd She produced in so
days 3,376.9 pounds of milk from
which was made 1850 pounds of
butter. Her milk record for one
day was 124 pounds. When one
considers that this production both
of milk and butter is much greater
than that of the ordinary COW of
this country for year, the great
ness of this record will be appreciat-
ed. The average production of milk
per cow per annum is about 5000
pounds, while this COW crowds up
close to $500 pounds in her 90
days test. The owner has been Of
fered $2,500 for her four weeks
calf and states that nothing under
$4,000 would touch it. At no time
was she fed more than 20 pounds Of
grain per day. The COW cost the
owner SITS, her former owner hav-
ing failed to get from hen her full
limit of production. Her offspring
may never show the production she
has, but she is an example of the
wonderful development of the dairy
COW of this day, and should be an
inspiration to every breeder of dairy
stock to raise his standard from the
average to the limit of production.

TO PUBLISH
new PAPER
IN MEDFORO

Medford, Or, July 12.-Medford
is to have a new daily newspaper to
be called the Medford Sun. The
Sun will be a morning paper and
will issue it's first number July 49,
1t will be republican in politics and
its policy will be to take no part in
the prohibition question or to mix
in other factional fights.
Since the consolidation of the two
papers here about year ago the
republicans have had no representa-
tion in the daily newspaper field,
with the result that the local demo-
crat paper alleged to be independ-
ent, has made an effort to disrupt
the republican party in Jackson
county, by continual criticism of
President Taft and republican lead
ers and measures generally.
Though Jackson county is over
whelmingly republican, the party is
confronted with the fact that several
of the best Offices in the county are
filled by democrats, most of whom
were elected on the "non-partsan"
dodge.
Lindsey G. Branson is editor and
principal owner of the Medford Sun.
Mr.. Branson was formerly editor
and owner of the Tonopah Sun and
the Goldfield Sun and was for many
years connected with the Seattle
Post-Iintelligencer. In Nevada by
reason of a fight he made against
the /. w. w. and the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, whipping both to
a standstill and driving the former
entirely and the latter almost out Of
the state, he gained a national repu-
tation as a newspaper fighter and
was thenceforth known as "the fight.
ing editor of Nevada" This was the
first time the I. w. w. had shown
its hand in the country and little
was known of it's purposes or char
acter. Branson lived at Tonopah
and gave his personal attention to
the management of his Tonopah
newspaper.

AN EASY AND HARMLESS WAY
TO DARKEN THE HAIR.

Who does not know Of the value Of
sage and sulphur. for keeping the hair
dark, soft, glossy and in good condition ?
AS a matter of fact, sulphur is natural
element of hair, and deficiency of it
in the hair is held by many scalp spe-
cialists to be connected with loss of
color and vitality of the hair. Unques-
tionably, there is no better remedy for
hair and scalp troubles, especially prema-
ture grayness, than sage and sulphur, if
properly prepared. The Wyeth Chemical
Company, "a Cortlandt St., New York
City, put up an ideal preparation of this
kind, called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur.
1t is sold by all leading druggists for
SOC. and S1.00 bottle, or is sent direct
by the manufacturers upon receipt Of

THE CURSE OF EDUCATION.

Next week will witness the annual
contortion in our educational institu-
tions in that funny thing they like 70
call the commencement, when in most
instances it should be known as the
finish. Let us see how the modern
education applies to the destiny of its
victims. In the first place the school
has inspired the average boy with the
idea that graduation will soon see
him as the proprietor or president of
a great institution with a soft snap
in the interim. When he answers his
first advertisement, however, he finds
a hundred or more young men there
ahead of him. A dozen disappoinU-
ments of this kind throw him back on
his relatives or out as a hobo or a
sharper.
Then again the schools with then
motto of study and play put the boy
entirely out of the domain of manual
work and his mind and muscles both
soon find it abhorrent. He is forced
out of all harmony with nature and
natural work and becomes a pervert.
Our agricultural colleges are expected
to save the boys for agriculture, but
we see how lamentably they fail. The
same forces are at work in them as
in the public schools. Everything
tends to drive the boys from the farm,
while our ranches are suffering for
the little knowledge they might bring
to them. Even the industrial agrl-
cultural schools founded for the ex-
press purpose of making poor boys
farm hands and farmers are turning
out second class nonentities all going
to enlarge the city and hobo conting-
ency of the social craft already loaded
down with them. This is most
lamentable-thate even fortunes left
for sober purposes are prostituted by
the educators.
And 1t is the same with the girls.
They fly the coop as do the boys nor
will they take situations as domestics
in cities. Ten thousand servants are
always wanted in Denver while we
have quite as many misguided girls
running around the streets seeking
soft jobs for pink fingers. While all
this ruin of the rising generation of
Americans is going on the educators
are calling for more millions for pub
lie schools and millionaires vie with
each other in their gifts to them, and
to the universities whose heads die
tate their policies. All the vital
forces Of the nation are combined to
further what a wise Englishman calls
"the curse of education"
Reform is entirely out of the ques-
tion. Educators will not listen to 1t,
save but to deceive and to plant a
new fad wherever a reform is broach-
ed. We would not care so much
about all these misconceptions which
people fondly call education if we
could only succeed in securing at
least one good scholar out Of every
hundred graduates from a high
school. but the thing seems quite i'm
possible and this is the sad part OF II
all. AS to the miserable failure Of
our so-called agricultural colleges we
will have more to say later on. In
the meanwhile why would il not be
a good plan TO convert our school
houses into cowbarns and sheep sheds
