Governor DiN's appointment Of n
Surrogate for this county is doubIy

Evening Post He has named a lawyer
of excellent standing with the best

refused to accept the Tammany candi-

that Governor Dix is not quite SO
amenable to Tammany dctation as GER
tain of the New York newspa pers have
tried to make il appear Indeed. il
is admitted by the Evening Post that
in the appointment of a Surrogate
Governor Dix has developed an in
dependence of Murphy which augurs
well for q general resistance to the
plans for Tammanyizing his Admins
ration" That speaks well for Gov
ernor DIX. of course; but 1t serves
also to illustrate the outrageous char
acter Of his persecution by certain in
tcrests in New York which have been
damning him early and late because
he would not use his Executive influ-
ence in the Senatorial race at Albany
I'm rejecting Murphy's candidate for
Surrogate says the Evening Post.
"the Governor has shown the absurdity
of the pretence that he could be in

criticism OF him because he would not
go into the Senatorial fight for any

ARTISTS BLUNDERs.

81 never saw an artist yet who
could correctly paint a horseshoe"
remarked a friend of mine, pausing
before a Broadway picture store.
"They invariably paint it with an
equal number of nails on each side,
sometimes three, sometimes four,
and even five nails. AS a matter of
fact there are four on one side and
three on the other, the extra nail
being on the inside of the foot,
where the greatest strain comes.
Which reminds me of the lines of
a distinguished American poet in
which he sweetly depicts the drowsy
cattle on a summers day lazily lap
ping the cooling waters of the crys-
tai stream. The same popularity is
also POLITICALLY attributed to the
horse and other animals, the model
Of the poet having probably been the
house cat.-From an old scrap book.

DIET AND HEIGHT.

Plutarch, in his life of Lycurgus,
states that the tall figures Of the
Spartans were, due to their spare
diet. For" says he to himself and
all the rest of us, says he, when
the animal spirits are not too much
oppressed by a great quantity Of
food, which stretches itself out in
breadth and thickness, they mount
up in their natural lightness, and
the body easily and freely shoots up
In height-~ Quite a fine compli-
ment to the tall guy, but we will
venture to say that Plutarch must
have been over five foot eleven
inches or he would never say that.

BROWN BREAD FOR HEAL TIL
That Is Slogan Of English Country
Squire and He viii Bake
for Village.

Sir Oswald Mosley, an English
country squire of the old school, has
Just adopted the role of village
baker at Rolleston, Stafordshire,
where he owns $500 acres.
Present-day Indigestion and seri-
cus decay of the teeth are attributed
by Sir Oswald to fancy white bread
The decline in the national physique
and especially the prevalence of den
tai disease, he maintains, are the re-
suit of the fact that the people of
England for about 80 years, ever
since the introduction of white Vi
ennese flour, have discarded the fine
old-fashioned whole meal bread. He
blames women especially for consid-
ering brown bread common; but
that prejudice he hopes to eradicate
by showing the practical advantages
OF whole meal bread.
Sir Oswald is now going to grind
the -four in a stone mill which h,
has built for the purpose, and home
made whole meal bread will b.
baked in the village and sold at the
same price as that made from ordi-
nary -four.

MARVELs OF MEMORY.

Memory handed down through 80
generations is one of the perplexing
facts of science. The beaver -four
ished along French rivers until
killed off for its fur, but is now
known only in about dozen of the
villages on the Rhone, near Avignon.
For three centuries these villages
have had no trees to cut down for
dams. The animals were compelled
to adopt new mode of life and
have burrowed in the banks, shaping
mud with their tails as usual. Re
Gently some of them were taken by a
Polish count to forests on his es-
tates. Very strangely, they re-
sumed the habits dropped three CEN
turtles before they were born, and at
once began cutting trees and build
ing dams.
