to a correspondent says:
81 know no better way to provide for the future for
your wife or family or tor yourself than take a policy in some
well established prompt-paying company which will provide
an annual income for a period Of years or for your life.
Policies Of this kind are not expensive. Their increasing
popularity IS not surprising An income policy is a good
thing to have whether you are insured otherwise or not.

There can be no quarter for those who deal in the passions:
of men Wilson.
A recent editorial in the Philadelphia North American, entitled
"A murderer Still at Large recalling the murder of the mother
of four children by the man who married her in her widowhood,
after she had put forth heroic efforts to support her children and
save him from drink, we'll says, There seemed to be no reason
for his hatred except the disorders of his rumcrazed mind.
With booze in his brain and murder in his heart, he went out.
to kill her. She met him with a smile and a. kindly word. He
drew a pistol. She fled. The nearest refuge was the portal of a
church. He fired, and she fell dead. Her blood flowed down the.
steps of the temple.
We cannot believe that that maniac was alone responsible
for the murder. Known to have been crazed by drink, known to
pour murder in his heart every time he poured whiskey into his
throat, he still had free permission of the community to buy the
stuff. He still had the aid of the vendors in making himself a
murderer. And these still had the support of tremendous social
forces, which could have put drink beyond his reach were it not
for their respect for vested interests.
That woman's blood is not on the soul of that man alone,
The time will come when the moral opinion of the community will
find out where the blame for such murders belongs; and place it
there"

Cultivate Neatness and Maintain q
Youthful Spirit.
Neatness bathing and massage are
recommended to men past middle age
who would avoid manifestations of de-
cline. DR.. l. L. Nascher of Boston
writes in the New York Medical Jour
nal:
THE improvement in the general APP
pearance has a profound psychic in
luence, not only directly through the
stimulation of the sense of pride in APP
pearance, but indirectly through the
f1attering comments which it arouses.
This important measure is generally
neglected by men. yet aside from the
beneficial psychic influence, for aesthe-
tic reasons alone the old man should
endeavor to make himself appear as
attractive as possible. h ..sr @
This does not mean that he should
resort to the artificial devices that
middle aged and elderly women en-
ploy to enhance their charms. 1t does
mean that he Ola l:!nn should stimulate
the surflre circulation by means of
baths ana massage. remove wrinkles
and folds by Injunction with animal
fats. try to stimulate the growth Of
hair on the head and remove hair from
abnormal situations as the ears, use a
cane and wear braces to overcome the
tendency to stoop. employ harmless
cosmetic measures to improve his APP
pearance. and above all. observe a
sense Of neatneSs in dress.
INSTEAD Of decrying such a course
as vanity it Should be encourag ed as
a laudable effort to maintain youth
full spiiit.''

The state fair management got out
a pamphlet on Minnesota educational in

and we'll written. One of the writer's,
however, in discussing the needs Of the
fair, undertook to criticise the legis-
lature for not granting every request
Of the fair managers, without hesita-
ton. This writer evidently is I'M
acquainted with the history of the fair
management, which has generally been
run both as a political and personal
proposition. The fair has been a
mighty good thing for some folks,
and there is no evidence that it has
changed very much in this regard.
knowing this, it is the part of wisdom
Cor tie legislature to scrutinize care
tally all matters concerning the fair.
EveV department Of the state govern
nent is subject to such scrutiny, and
The state fair needs such scrutiny and
publicity more than most departments.
There has never been proper publicity
about the fairs innermost workings.
There ought to be the fullest publicity,
It the state is to spend more money
there.

ssor David Todd Of Amherst has made
his mark. for be has - .ssed the
opinion that on July Il. .:,9l. on the
mountain peak Of Popocatepetl or ORR
saba, In Mexico, there will be great
gathering Of astronomers and other
scientists, possibly a greater gathering
than any one. OF the sort ever taking
place before that time. He has deter
mined that on that date there will be
the finest eclipse Of the sun ever known
since eclipses were first predicted with
certainty. and these peaks will be the
choicest grand stand seats for the per
Torrance.
As eclipses are the only opportunities
for studying certain qualities OF the
sun and sunlight and as the energy
from the sun, which supports all life
on earth, is arousing more and more
study because Of the possibilities tor
human progress it offers. he feels GER
tain that in 1901 there will be even
more interest in eclipses than there is
at present.
One reason why 1t, will be a remark
able eclipse is that It will be total for
Z minutes 10 seconds. The longest
one ever known was minutes 20 Sec
onds, while the longest one that can
ever happen can only be Z minutes So
seconds.
Another advantage is that the sun
will be directly overhead. so that there
will be the least possible amount of in
reference from the atmosphere. The
great interest in an eclipse is the CO.
roma. a hoop of light that appears
when the moon entirely hides the sun.
It is from the corona that many Of the
most important secrets of the sun have
been learned.
Professor Todd has found that in the
next 300 years there will be nine total
eclipses of the sun visible in Mexico,
many of them fine ones, though none
so valuable for study as that Of 1991.-

WEALTH A HANDICAP.

One Of the greatest handicaps
that some young men have in
the outset Of their career is the
possession OF an income which
will relieve them Of the neces-
sity Of independently earning
their own livelihood. This re-
moves a great incentive for en-
deavor and is a decided disad-
vantage. For that reason I
have always had a considerable
sympathy for the sons Of rich
men. They are seriously handi-
capped in life unless they are
young men Of exceptionally
high character and imbued with
lofty aspirations. John Hays

Tn Rochester there is park called
Mayo park. 1t is beautiful place,
through which little river, about the
size of Pike Creek, runs. There are
Fairgrounds for children, there are
some wild animals. there is a green
louise, there are picnic grounds, there
are winding driveways, there are two
statues - Washington and Lincoln,
carved in Carrara marble, there is a
handstand and seats for $500 people,
end it cost much this year to have
magnificent band play. The park is
hot so very large, but it has been made
very beautiful and very convenient. It
cost an immense amount Of money to
Tut it in shape, and it costs a great
Geal*:to maintain it. Practically all
the cost has been and is being met by
the two great surgeons, William and
Charles Mayo. We do not think it is
necessary for everybody who is i'll to
see the Mayos. Every town in Mime
suta has. able, experienced surgeons
and physicians who can be trusted.
What we wish to point out, however,
was that the Mayos, having made
millions through their skill and genius,
are sharing their prosperity with the
people Of their home town, and doing
it in a simple, kindly way and for
purposes of lasting values. In all
ways these two men are doing all they
can for the betterment of the town in
which they live. There are mighty few
wealthy men in Minnesota who have
shown anything like the generous
spirit as the Mayos, and whatever we
may think Of the Mayo vogue, certain
ly their .labors in many ways to help
heir home town deserve commendation.
In connection we may add that al
though Mayo Park is beautiful, it
could not compare with either Maple
Island or Pine Grove park were one

Park put into the two natural parks

War Garrison as to the future Of Fort
Smelling. What is to become Of
campaign issues for Congressman
Stevens if Ft. Smelling is abandoned.
.Stszens could support Cannon, could
stand by Taft, could be stalwart OF
staIwarts on the tariff and the cur
rcncy. could vote against the measures
which the farmers and workingmen OF
his district desired-and when the
time came for reelection he called up
ON all the gods to witness that he, and
he alone, with his mighty arm, could
retain Fl. Smelling, and that IT Ft.
Smelling should be abandoned, woe and
desolation would come upon St. Paul
and with st. Paul would fall the state,
and the nation. Therefore, in order to
prevent these dire calam1ties, Fred
Stevens must 90 back to congress-
and back he goes. Those who deny
Stevens cleverness are mistaken. Any
enc who can .pull off such a stunt
gear after year, is mighty clever. The
funny part Of it all is, that the voters
Of St. Paul should care picayune
whether there is military post there
Or not. The industrial magnates may
like to have it near; for purposes Of
over-aweing possible strikers, and the
four hundred who need the officers
to help out their functions may want
TT. Smelling, but that's all. Uncle
Sam has plenty Of other posts, and the
buildings and grounds at Fl. Smelling
could be used for other purposes. III
