Why Hindoos Don't Go Mad.


Why are there so few lunauc asy-
rlms and 80 small a proportion OF In
sane persons in India? That Is cues
ton which many q traveller has won.
deringly asked. The Hindoos regulate
their lives entirely in accordance with
their religlon-that Is, their working,
eating, sleeping, as we'll as what we
usually regard az our ''life" in the re-
ligious sense of the word. Everything
is arranged for them, and they follow
the rules now just as they did 1000
years ago. This constant observance
Of the same rules for twenty centuries
has nodded the brains Of the race into
one shape, as 1t were. and, although
their rites are queer enough, yet there
Is but an occasional example Of that
striking deviation from the common
which is called insanity In countries
inhabited by the white race. They are
fatalists too. With them 1t is case
Of what Is to be will be- carried to
the extreme This has In time given
them the power to take all things
calmly and so freed them from the
anxiety that drives so many white
men into the lunatic asylums.

Slow but InexorabIe Justice.

In October, 1900, Pietro Giaconi and
Marie Bonelll were tried at Rome on
charge of sextuple murder by pol
soning committed thirty-one years be-
fore. In England Eugene Aram was
hanged for the murder Of Clarke four
teen years after the offense. A man
named Horne was executed for the
murder Of his child in the eighteenth
century no less than thirty-fve years
after the onfense. There Is also the
well known case Of Governor Wall,
who was executed in 1902 for muir
der committed In 1882. Sherward was
hanged at Norwich for the murder OF
his wife after lapse Of twenty years.
But Sir Fitzjames Stephens recalls
what Is the most remarkable case Of
all. He prosecuted as counsel for the
crown In 1863 man who was charged
with stealing a leaf from parish reg
lister sixty years before-that Is, In
1903. In this case the prisoner was
cquitted.-London Standard.

TIL. Monasteries of Tibet.

Every Tibetan family Is compelled
to devote its firstborn male child to a
monastic life. Soon after his birth
the child is taken to Buddhist mon
astery to be brought up and trained In
priestly mysteries. At about the age
of eight he joins one Of the caravans
which travel to Lassa. There he Is at
tachcd to one Of the local monasteries,
where he remains as novice until ne
Is fifteen, learning to read the sacred
books and perform the religious rites
of his faith. The frstborn son, being
thus sent into the church, as we
should say in this country. the second
becomes the head Of the family
and marries. Unlike some other semi
civilized races, these young Tibetans
have the right Of choosing their own
wives. Nor can a Tibetan girl be
married or by her parents without her
own consent. The curious custom In
regard to the eldest sons results OF
course, in nearly every Tibetan family
acquiring the odor Of sanctity, num-
bering a monk among its members

THOUGHT II Was the Monkeys.

A diamond necklace was possessed
by Nine. Godfrey de st. Hilare, the
wife of the famous French naturalist.
1t was one Of the chiefest Of her 'con-
tentments," as Hindoo women aptly
term their jewels. One day madame
missed her necklace. There was ter
rible turmoil in the house, and all the
servants down to the foolish fat SOUL
lion were suspected, but in turn proved
their innocence. At last 1t was remem.
Dercd that NJ. de st. HNaire had pet
monkey, and on a search being made
in the "glory hole" of the quadrumane
the precious baublc was discovered hid
den away with a white satin shoe, sew.
eral cigar ends, pencil case and de-
composed apple. The renowned nat
urallst calmly observed that he had
frequently seen the monkey playing
with the necklace. "Why did you not
take 1t from him?" Indignantly asked
his spouse. 81 thought 1t belonged to
him." replied NJ. de st. Hilaire. He ev-
identity thought there was nothing I'M
natural in an ape possessing diamond
necklace as his personal property.

new FACTORY BU|LD|NC'
Sugar Bowl to Remodel and Enlarge
Corner Building.
CANDY AND ICE CREAM FACTORY
Substantial improvements to Corner
of Water and Mechanic Streets
to be Made by Otto
Dahljelm.

One of the substantial improve
ments of the present year for De-
corah, and an enterprise in which
the public is generally interested, in
that it is for the enlarging of one
of our factories is the COM
plete reconstruction and remodeling
Of the factory building of the Sugar
Bowl, owned and operated by Otto
Dahljelm, on the corner of Water
and Mechanic streets.
The plans call for a splendid
building in outside appearance and
interior arrangement. The single
story structure now occupying the
corner will be raised to two stories
in height. which will have a new
front of pleasing appearance, as
well as the street side. The struc-
ture will be of brick, with a good
looking cornice, and the interior
will be divided into rooms which
will have modern equipment and
appliances for the convenient and
rapid handling of the large and
growing business of this concern.
Since Mr.. Dahljelm came to De-
corah he has increased his business
steadily until it has assumed large
proportions, and now covers a wide
territory in its clientage. The
manufacture and wholesaling of ice
cream, ice cream cones and candy
on a large scale has developed a
business which employs several peo-
pie and brings considerable money
into the city.
The future growth of Decorah
lies in the establishment here of
several similar factories of moder-
ate proportions. Several PROPOSE
tions of this nature are being de-
veloped and more are under con-
sideration, all of which will re-

to be Held Next Tuesday.
LUCIUS WILSON TO SPEAK
Secretary of Greater Des MOines
Committee to Address DecOrah's
Boosters On Upbuilding of
the City.

Arrangements are being complet-
ed for the annual banquet of the
Decorah Commercial Club, which
will be held next Tuesday evening,
September goth, at the Winneshiek
Hotel. 1t is expected that the
event will be an important one in
the history of the club, which has
been greatly revived during the
present summer, and which is in
position to do great deal of good
for Decorah. Our business men are
awakening to the fact that the up
building of the city lies in the
united effort of the business men.
with every one interested and work
ing at all times for the city, boost
ing it's mi hny advantages at every
possible opportunity.
One of the main features of the
banquet will be an address on COM
mercial clubs and city boosting by
Mr.. Lucius Wilson, Secretary of the
Greater Des Moines Committee,
probably one of the most successful
and best posted men in the country
upon this question. After the or
ganizatiOn Of the Greater DeS
MOines Committee, which has done
wonders for our capital city, and
has attracted the attention of the
whole United States, they searched
the country for a man to head this
work, and finally engaged Mr.. Will
son, who has proven to be the right
man in the right place. He is en-
thused with his work, and probably
knows more about Iowa and its ma
terial advantages as a whole than
any man in the state. He is a
splendid speaker and it will be
great treat to hear him. Every
member of the Commercial Club is
expected to attend the banquet,
which is to be paid for out of the
funds in the club treasury.
During the past week several
matters have been taken up by the
club officers. A party of gentlemen
from Minneapolis came here with

and open a factory for the making
of an adding and substracting ma
chine. A meeting of the executive
committee was called to consider
the matter, and after a careful con-
sideration of the proposition. de-
cided that it was in altogether too
crude state and too large propo-
sitiin to undertake at this time.
None of the proposed machines have
as yet been made, and the nncer-
tainty of the cost of production.
practicability and marketing oppOr-
tunity led the committee to the de-
cision above stated.
The executive committee ioined
in the invitation to be extended to
the annual conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, in session
at Charles City this week, to hold
it's next annual meeting in Decorah.
