Armies of Animals.

Some idea of the vast numbers of
animals that Africa used to support
can be gained from a passage in w.
Scullys "reminiscences. 1t was Mr..
Scully's good fortune in 1892 to wit
ness the last great trek of springboks
from east to west of the Bushmanland
desert-a trek on a scale such AS no
man will ever see again. Fencing, the
increase of population and the distrib-
ution of arms have almost exterminat-
ed the once innumerable host. He
says, ST have stood on an eminence
some twenty feet high, far out on the
plains, and seen the absolutely level
surface as far as the eye could reach

from over the eastern horizon the ris-
ing columns of dust told of fresh hosts
advancing"

BLINDNESS.

According to excellent authority there
are 100. 900 cases of blindness in the
United States. Estimating that Wis
consin has proportionate share of this
number, as it no doubt has, there are
$500 blind in this state. A New York
commission which investigated one
thousand cases affirmed that one-third
of them were positively preventable.
Undoubtedly a similar investigation In
Wisconsin would arrive at the same
conclusion.
One of the great causes of blindness
is infection of the baby's eyes during
birth. Leading oculists state that one
fourth of all blindness is due to this in
lection. Such blindness is ablosutely
preventable Indeed, if the laws of
the state are complied with, all cases
of this nature in Wisconsin will hence
forth be prevented.
The preventive measures are exceed
ingly simple, merely requiring the use
of harmless eye drops Immediately
after the birth of the infant. To pre-
vent any oversight which might be re-
sponsible for loss of eyesight, par
ents should positively know that this
precaution has been taken by the at
tendant.
The existence of $500 blind citizens
constitutes drag anchor upon public
and family resources and prosperity.
Public relief is almost inevitable. Mod
ern competition is such that it is q
healthy mans job to keep ahead of his
creditors. Few handicapped individuals
can be expected to do so.
Blindness is incurable. The only
hope is in prevention. To prevent the
mass of Individual cases, each individ-
ual case must be prevented.

WISCONSIN is about to receive its
first solid instaIlment of democratic
tariff results. The big beet sugar plant
at GAINESVILLE will be shut down per-
manently, with the close of the present
run of sugar. The owners are not in
business for philanthropy or for their
health; and since the government has
decided that it is an economic wrong
for the native sugar industry to be run
at a profit, there is nothing for them
to do but close down. The fact that
the senior senator from Wisconsin vot-
ed for the measure will be poor con-
ISOLATION for the hundreds of wage earn
ers and farmers who were largely de-
pendent on that GAINESVILLE factory for
their living. And we presume many
other beet sugar plants throughout the
union will follow suit The consumers
will pay just as much for their sugar
as heretofore. The only beneficiary of
the proceeding will be the sugar trust,
which will get it's foreign raw material
in duty free. The democratic admins
tration throws to the winds $50, 000,O 900
revenue, and knocks into cooked hat

Bermuda.

Bermuda enjoys the distinction of
being the only British colony mention
ed in Shakespeare. And his way of
spelling 1.-THE ''stll vexed Bermooth-
es"-is more correct and grammatical
than that used today. Bermuda is plu-
raj, not singular It is really an archi-
pelago or cluster Of 800 small islands
very small seeing that all told they
do not aggregate more than nineteen
square miles. Bermuda is less than
600 miles from the coast OF the United
States. The exceptional mildness and
salubrity Of its climate have made it
during recent years favorite winter
resort with well to do Americans. Ac-
cording to statistics, these visitors
number some 10000 year. Mark
Twain was a regular winter resident
Of Bermuda.

Shoes and Nerves.

Travellers say that the reason why
nervous people don't exist in China is
because it is there the custom to wear
soft shoes. There is no doubt that hard

An Absolute Vacuum.

Q.-When a bottle of milk is empt1ed
it contains air; when the air is pumped
out there is a vacuum. My friends
cannot tell what is in the bottle. Can
you explain?
A.-But the air cannot be entirely
pumped out. Humans SO far have not
secured an absolute vacuum. If they
could, then the bottle by some is sup
posed to contain ether But the eX-
istence of ether has not been proved.
And then the bottle might contain three
or four septillions free electrons, all

MINNESOTA has grown tired of her
cumbersom and expensive system of
government by commission" and a
committee is now in session in st. Paul
to consider way of recognizing the
state government. Minnesota has 46
commissions, state boards and bureaus,
and Is state departments. All of this
complicate machinery is very expensive
just as it is in Wisconsin, only the Min
nesota people have not been cursed to
q lite as great an extent with the Pro-
gressive desire to try every wild and
unheard of scheme to burden the peo-
pie. But, they have had enough of
this lunacy to make them want to Sc
cure a simpler and less expensive state

government of "wild asses" has set in.

IT is not even necessary to put your
ear to the ground to hear the mighty
rumble of an outraged rural constitu-
ency over the taxation conditions in
Wisconsin. The county boards have
been in session over the state and these
representatives of the common people
have begun to express their opinions in
no unsounding terms over the various
schemes of increasing the burden. A
resolution passed by an up state county
board requests the governor to dis
charge the state tax commission, be-
lieving that it strikes at the very foun-
tain head of their troubles. The Dane
county board very emphatically voted
down the mothers pension, tubeIcu-
lar sanitarium, and county truant officer
proposition. The most of the counties,
too, declined to employ a county in
structor in agriculture at the expense
of the taxpayers. This is only be-
ginning of ground swell that isl going
to bury host of politicians that have
been enormously increasing the expen-
ditures of state the past few years.
Hot blood is now coursing in the veins
of a very mad rural population.

WE HAVE been told for a good many
years that the consumer pays the tariff.
The revision of the tariff now in effect
was made on the assumption that every
tariff reduction would come off the ulti-
mate consumers cost of living. We
are getting some real enlightenment
on that proposition these days. Has
anybody noticed retail price reductions?
Has the merchant noticed wholesale
price reductions? Not at all. The slack
has all been taken up by importers and
jobbers and especially foreign produc-
give work and wages to foreign opera
tives rather than to working men in
the United States. We cannot buy
abroad and keep at work the men who
have been producing what we have
heretofore bought at home. Nothing
can possibly be palmer than that.

The Office Towel.

Often I think of the printing
office towel. 1t was a beautiful
towel to gaze upon when it was
fresh and clean on Monday morn
ing for then it was a yard wide,
and as sweet as a lilly. But by
Monday evening it had the
DEVILS fingermarks on it and
they were more plainly impress
ed than any footsteps that were
ever made on the sands of lime.
On Monday it was fit to wipe
your face on for fifteen minutes
after being put up.
On Tuesday it was a hand
towel-that is, it would clean a
printers hands, and soil any one
else's.
On Wednesday it would put a
patent leather shine on a pair of
brown-leather shoes. And then
it got thin, too, and it kept get
ting thinner, until it almost look
ed like a shoe string.
One day a compositor with
D. T. took it for black snake,
and rushing for the stairway,
fell all the way down over the
devil, who was coming up with
an armful of pie wrapped in
brown paper, and a pail of beer
hanging on each finger.
By Friday the towel was so
black that you could run it over
a gally and pull proof.
On Saturday it was wrung out
into the ink bottle. and then used
in the pressroom for betting.
On Saturday afternoon a COM
positor had a headache, and tied
it around his head. Oxalic acid
would not take the black off, and
he had to dye his red hair black
to escape ridicule.
Then a farmer bought it and
took it home. He said some time
after that he had used it for
fertilizer, and had a splendid
crop of flax and hickory shirts.
