Don't Breathe Lazily.

eff you are consumptive, if you think
you are drifting into consumption,
sing!" said medical man.
"Of course singing alone will not
save you from consumption or cure
you. Besides singing you must have
plenty of fresh air and good food. And,
speaking of fresh air. | must say that
not one person in a hundred knows
how to inhale It, People seldom
breathe deeply enough They seldom
properly ventilate their lung cavities,
which resemble stuffy. insanitary
apartments, where all germs thrive un-
disturbed. acquire the habit Of TAX
ing the big, deep breath which is pri-
mary requisite for any kind Of singing.
bad or good, and the physical joy de-
rived from it will never allow you to
relapse into lazy breathing. Further
more, the mere effort of singing COM
pels the singer to stand straight and
to throw out the chest, good correc-
tive for the bad physical habits OF
weak chested people"

Extremes of Temperature.

Science reasons that che lowest tenn
peratures at the earth's surface are
not found directly at the poles. but at
some distance to the south of the
north pole and to the north of the
south POLE. Likewise the greatest de-
gree of heat is not. as might be sup
posed, to be found at the equator, but
prevails at some distance to the north
and to the south of that imaginary
line. The coolest place on the earth's
surface of which there is authentic
record is in Siberia. The lowest tenn
perature ever recorded in the open air
was 90 degrees below zero f. at Wer
chajansk. central Siberia. on Jan. 10
1885. The highest temperature of
which there is an authentic record is
124 degrees above zero e. in Algeria,
northern Africa. on July IL. 1879.
These places of extreme heat and ex-
treme cold give range Of temporal
ture covering the whole inhabited
world of PA degrees. or two degrees
more than from zero to the boiling
point.

transplanting, budding and pruning Of
trees; seed selection, cheese and butter
making, testing agricultural machin-
cry. cooking. blowing matches, etc.
In exhibiting animals hay and bed
ding should be provided free If pos
sible, and grain should be sold at a
very moderate rate to exhibitors. This
matter of feed at fairs has caused a
lot of trouble. Grating very frequent
ly creeps in, leading to intense dissat-
isfaction and often to unpleasant ex-
periences.
The judging must be done, so far as
possible. by wholly disinterested ex-
perts. The judge ought to be ready to
explain any finding if he is asked to do
so. There are plenty of expert judges
available in all lines now as there is
no reason why the best Of judges
should not be secured.
The matter Of concessions and
amusements has caused more cOntro-
versy and discussion than any other
thing in connection with the state or
county fair. Trials of speed, acrobatic
and sleight of hand performances. ex-
hibitions of trained animals. moving
pictures, military drills. games Of ball.
foot races and other similar entertain
ments, are all unobjectionable when
properly controlled and provide enter
tainment for those who come to spend
an idle hour.
But they should be very carefully
supervised and not be permitted to in
terfere with the main exhibits and
more educational features of the fair.
All entertainments should be restricted
to certain hours. when 1t would be
possible for all who desire to witness
and enjoy them.
1t is suggested that all county fairs
shall be supervised by the secretary of
the state board of agriculture or some
one from the department of agricul-
ture. A general meeting of representa-
tives Of all the fair associations should
be held each year for conference and
discussion of important topics.

Mccovern Denounce. Cary. Criticism.

Criticisms of the University Of
Wisconsin recently made by State
Superintendent G. p. Cary. were
vigorously denounced by Governor
Francis E. McGovern in an address
before the City Club OF Chicago on
Tuesday evening.
In refuting these charges that the
university is taking too large part
in the affairs of the state, Governor
McGovern said:
AT the present time persistent
effort is being put forth to discredii
the practice of Sc king aid FROM the
University of Wisconsin in the solu
tion of public problems. 1t is said
that if the present policy be contin-
ued I'VE shall have a University
State instead of State Univer-
sity. How calamitous this would
be has not yet deeply impressed any
one in Wisconsin except the author
of the criticism.
more recently this same pamph-
lettering official has deplored the du-
plicity of politicians who are jeff
ersonians on the stump or Hamil-
tonians in the closet. Though this
censor of public morals may not
know it, most of US are perfectly
willing to plead guilty to this indict-
ment, with leave merely to modify
the charge so as to make US follow
ers of Hamilton and Jefferson both
on the stump and iii the closet. |
presume there will be nc objection
to this change as it makes the
charge look worse.
The author of this particular ar
ticle Eliminates against commissions
because they are appointive instead
of elective, ignoring the universal
experience that expert skill and
ability cannot be obtained by the
elective, process. He refers to the
Legislative Reference Library at
Madison, which was the first of it's
kind in the country and has intro
duced the methods of science into
the business of legislation, as bill
mill, and in this category | pre-
sumo he will soon also include the
Board of Public Affairs. His special
grievance. however, is the promin-
ence given to educated men, particu-
larlv university professors, in the
service OF the State.
Who is this critic? From my de.
scription of him venture to say
that no one present could guess his
identity in hundred years. Let
me save you the effort of trying by
saying that he is the head of the
educational system of Wisconsin.

OVERSTUDY CAUSED
MAN TO KILL HIMSELF
William J. Brolund Was Trying to Pass
Examination for Customs House
Service

Boston, March 9.--0verstudy at night
in order that he might obtain a position
in the customs house service, while work
ing days as letter carrier in the Rox.
bury postal station, is believed to have
been the reason for the suicide of Will
liam j. Brolund, 81 years old, who was
found dead with a bullet hole in his
right temple yesterday at his home,
Warren place, Roxbury. A 3S-calibre
revolver, with one chamber exploded,
was found clutched in his right hand
when the body was discovered by his
wife and mother.
Although the revolver was of large
calibre, no one in the house heard the
shot, and it is believed that BroluDd end
ed his life late Thursday night The
suicide left a letter to his wife ex-
planning his act, which was turned over
to Medical Examiner Leary. It's contents
will not be disclosed From the medical
examiner it was learned that the man
had been staying up late nights studying
for an examination, which he recently
took for the custom house service.
IT is believed that he was worrying
over the outcome of the examination.
and this, combined with overstudy and
his arduous daily duties, made him de-

Thursday night he was apparently in
good spirits He is survived by his Wild

terday made public letter he has writ

protesting against the action of the ex-
ecutive committee of the bar association
which recently rescinded the membership
of William II. Lewis, now an assistant
United States attorney-gener He was
elected member OF the association while
he was an assistant United States dis
trict attorney of Massachusetts. Attor-
ney-General Wickersham has denounced
the action taken against Lewis and now
Mr. Willard officially appeals to Mr., Led
yard. The letter to Mr.. Ledyard fol.
lows:
My Dear Sir:
"The board of directors Of this asso.
citation wishes to express to you its pro-
found regret at the action of the execu.
tive committee Gf the bar association
in regard to Mr.. William II. Lewis We
believe this action to be illegal and con.
trary TO the principle OF justice for which
your association must stand. We cannot
think that it reflects the opinion OF the
body of high-minded, intelligent men,
who make up your membership.
There is a growing criticism to-day
OF the attitude OF the courts in the
United States toward colored men. We
ourselves have found numerous cases of
discrimination solely because OF color.
II an organization pledged to advance
the science of Jurisprudence, to promote
the administration of justice, shows its
race prejudice by excluding a man regu-
larly elected into membership when It
finds that he is colored. this criticism
win be justified; and il will be justified
as applied to men high in the legal
profession, whom we have had right
to believe stood for the impartial ad-
mnistration of the law to black and
white alike.
I'VE wish to express to YOU our pro.
found conviction that the effort to dis
miss from your membership, because OF
his color, man of merit and high attain.
ment, is denial OF justice and a blow
at democracy"
