Tho Academy Of Silence.

1t is written that among the yari-
Gus schools of Grecian philosophy
existed one known as "the Academy
Of Silence" composed of hundred
men, each member pledged to the
purpose of the school. To them
came one seeking admission. Their
list of membership was closed, and
their head, calling the would be neo-
phyte before the assembled audi
ence, showed him without word
an urn so filled with water that not
a single drop could be added. The
neophyte, reading the message, bow
ed silently, started to withdraw, but
hesitated and returned. Picking a
petal from flower, he dropped it
on the brimming bowl SO dexter
ously that it fioated without dis
lodging the slightest particle of the
liquid. The membership Of the
Academy of Silence became 1O1.-

His Question.

A party of young men were camp
ing, and to avert annoying ques-
tions they made it rule that the
one who asked a question that he
could not answer himself had to do
the cooking.
One evening, while sitting around
the fire, one of the boys asked,
"Why is it that a ground squirrel
never leaves any dirt at the mouth
of its burrow ?"
They all guessed and missed. So
he was asked to answer it himself.
"Why," he said, ssbecause it al.
ways begins to dig at the other end
of the hole"
"But," one asked, show does il
get to the other end of the hole"
"Well," was the reply, chats

THROWING Stones at 4 Tiger.

Stone throwing is not without its
uses in hunting the fiercest of game.
At the first sound the tiger walked
out and up the opposite bank and
fell to general discharge. As he

stone hit the tiger, who got up and
lurched rather than charged in our
direction, with the savage coughing
grunt-you cannot exactly describe
it as a roar-which a tiger makes
when charging. There was another

sHoRTNEss OF BREATH.
Due to . Variety Of Causes, Some Of
Them Serious.


Them Serious.
Respiration in health and under
normal conditions Of rest or mod
crate exercise is an unconscious act,
almost as much SO as digestion or
the beating Of the heart, but it is
very easily disturbed, even in
health, and in certain diseases it's
disturbance is often one Of the most
distressing symptoms. The short
breath following exertion, such as
running or hill climbing, is familiar
to every one. It is due to the in
creased call for oxygenation Of the
blood and the temporary inability
Of the heart to pump the blood in
sufficient volume through the lungs.
When shortness of breath is
brought about by moderate exercise
or mental excitement it is due to
some abnormal condition, such as
anaemia, obesity, weak heart or in
digestion. This tendency is relieved
by attention to the weak point,
whatever it may be, and judicious
system of exercises-a sort Of modi-
fled training.
Permanent shortness of breath,
or dyspnoae, as it is technically
called, is more serious affair and
is usually due to some actual dis
ease. What the disease is of which
this dyspnoae is a symptom can
often be discovered only by a care
full and thorough medical examina-
tion Of all the organs of the body.
1t is often called asthma and
treated at home by inhaling the
fumes of burning inter paper or by
some other of the ordinary reme-
dies. But asthma is distinct dis
ease, although its true nature is not
yet definitely determined. 1t oc-
ours in paroxysms, usually at night,
in the intervals of which the breath
ing is generally easy and quiet. Per-
manent dyspnoea is another matter
and is an indication of something
wrong.
1t may be due to a great variety
of causes, only few Of which can
be mentioned here.
Anaemia, or poverty of blood, may
| give rise to permanent dyspnoae as
we'll as to shortness of breath on
exertion. The symptom is regu.
lar accompaniment of diminished
lung capacity, either through con
solidation or more or less of the
lung tissue in tuberculosis or pneu.
monia or through compression o1
the lungs by an accumulation o1
fluid or air in the chest.
Anything that interferes with the
free action of the heart, such az
weakness of the cardiac muscle Oh
disease of the valves of the heart
pressure by fatty deposits, an en-
larged liver or gas in the stomach
will produce shortness of breath.
Short breath in children is com
monty the result of obstruction il
the air passages, caused by enlarged
tonsils, the presence of glandula1
tissue in the pharynx, called ade
noids, or swollen condition Of th'
mucous membrane in the larynx.
Persistent shortness of breath i
symptom that should not be neg
lected.-Youth's Companion.

A SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL
Evangelist Stephens Secured
l3O Converts.
MEETINGS CLOSED SUNDAY
Great Interest Was Maintained
Throughout.

val meetings conducted by
Evangelist Geo. Z. Stephens, at
the Presbyterian church, closed
last Sunday night. 1t has been the
most successful revival in.the his
tory of Rathdrum, the number OF
conversions being estimated at
1870. Mr.. Stephens, on Thursday
of last week, stated that the num-
Der of converts up to that time
approximated 100, and it is esti-
mated that thirty people were
added to the list Thursday and
Friday evenings and on Sunday.
Interest in the meetings, attest
ed by the large attendance, was
maintained to the last, and there
was no abatement of the earnest
ness with which the evangelist de-
livered his address and the activi-
ty with which he directed the song
service by the choir of upward Of
! 100 voices and by the entire con-
gregation.
A considerable portion of Sun
day nights service was given over
to briefly spoken testimony by
scores of people throughout the
congregation. Miss Lamont oi
Spokane, who addressed the
women at the Methodist church in
the afternoon, spoke briefly at the
Presbyterian church in the even.
ing, in response to invitation BY
Mr.. Stephens. She spoke on the
text of Second Timothy ais, and
told a few incidents concerning
the effects of that passage in the
| Scripture. Rev. w. Thompson
and Rev. Andrew Warner spoke
brief words of appreciation OF the
success which had crowned the
series of meetings. Mr.. c. A
Heath of Spokane was present
again and assisted in singing. Ar
offering, superintended by Mr.
Thompson in the morning and BY
Mr.. Warner in the evening, wa'
subscribed and presented to Mr.
Stephens in token of appreciation
of his services.
A farewell service was givel
Monday evening, at which Mr.
| Stephens read the pathetic stor'
of "Delia, the Bluebird of Null
berry Bend" Mr.. Heath SAM
three sacred selections to violil
and piano accompaniment and Mr.
O. G. Farnsworth sang a selection
Singing by the choir and by tn
entire congregation was also
feature, closing with the hymn
"God be with you; til we mee
again." An offering was taken TO
Mr.. Heath, whose singing ha
been greatly appreciated. Til
evangelist took occasion to expires
his gratitude for the kindness ths
had been shown him during hi
stay in Rathdrum. He admonishe
! all to take good care OF the
health, to refrain from gossipin
about one another, but to love on
another instead, and with fe
parting words of good will, he di'
) missed the meeting with prayer.

FIRST AUTO CONVENTION.
Buz-Waeon People Meet at
Washington.
THE POSTAL BANK BILL
Proposed Amendment Endangers
Its Passage.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 49,
There are now in Washington the
representatives of the American
Automobile association, two hun
dred in number and yesterday
their first session was held and
addressed by senators and other
distinguished men. The speakers
from every part Of the country
criticized the state legislatures for
making obstructive automobile
laws, and were all in favor of reg
istration of automobiles by the
federal government. 1t was curious
TO note, however, that every speak
er spoke in eulogy OF the automo-
bile laws OF his particular state and
recommended them as examples OF
good legislation, contrasting them
with the automobile laws of other
states, which, according to the
speaker, were not good examples
of automobile legislation.
President Taft's definition as to
what constitutes whiskey has, it
! appears, not settled the case. The
presidents dictum held that all
spirits distilled from grain are
whiskey and entitled to be labeled
as such without snch qualifying
words as compound" or "Imita-
ton" The distillers of straight
whiskey have already given notice
that they will take the case to the
courts and have engaged ex-Sena-
tor Spooner and ex-Speaker Of the
House of Representatives John G.
Carlisle rs counsel.
! In spite of the opposition oi
able senators in both parties, it is
believed now that the postal bank
act will be passed. This act, i,
will be remembered, is champion
ed by Senator Carter of Montana
He was called to the White House
to discuss with the President the
prospect for the passage of the
postal savings bank bill. The
Senator explained the increased
opposition in the senate to thi:
bill and expressed the opinion tha
it would be impossible to pass tht
amendment proposed by Senator
Root with the purpose of making
THE bill constitutional. Thi.
amendment requires the invest.
ment of the postal savings banl
deposits in government securities
Senator Root holds that withou
the amendment the government
would be engaged in banking busl
ness contrary to the Constitution
Senator Carter, however, is of th'
opinion that all the democrats, a
we'll as all the insurgent republi
cans, will vote against the Roo
amendment and that their vot
would be sufficient to defeat tn
, bill. Senator Carter was OF tn
opinion that the Root amendmen
J eliminated, the bill might b
! passed.
