All the pages, clerks, and janitors
were granted one day extra pay and
full time II they were off on account
OF sickness.
There has been more progressive
legislation passed at this session than
in any other In the history of Michi.
gan. Seven fundamentals, laws that
touch the basis of the state constitu-
ton, have been agreed upon, while
only one, the short ballot, was lost dur.
ing the entire session.
Though in a large number OF cases
the bills were merely amendments
to old laws which had to be revised
and corrected to make them workable,
there has been a large gist OF import
ant legislation.
There will be three and may be
four concurrent resolutions to go to
the people at the November election in

heritage in the language, the litera-

traditions which have come down to
them from the men OF bygone days.

world than the four thousand miles OF
undefended boundary line from the

1--WE should extend to them help

progress. Instead of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion,
we should open them wider and do
everything in our power to facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want
their products and they want our prod
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent a
fairer and freer exchange of goods,
wares and merchandise should, in so

The feats OF professional runners
seem insignihcant when compared
with the regular performances Of an
East Indian caste. These Kahars, who
are also known as Jhinwarb. live In
the Punjab, where for centuries they
have acted not only as runners. but
as fishermen and as water fowl catch
ers. These men are said to be able
to accomplish 100 miles day without
resting. There Is said to be a well
authenticated instance wherein one
Tika Ram carried dispatches 900
miles in three days, from Mean-Mir to
Merut, says Harper's Weekly. 1t is
further said that 30 far from shorten
ing their lives, these performances
really conduce to longevity in the Ka-
hars, many of whom are able not only
10 withstand the strain Of covering
great distances, but to thrive under
It. The jinrikisha man, too, notwith-
standing his Irregular diet, excessive
use of liquor and exposure to the ele-
ments, lives to a reasonable age. In
Toxic, when a census was taken OF
the jinrikisha men some years ago,
there were found to be more than 1900
who were over fifty-five years OF
age.
