RISE EARLY, THOU SLUGGARD

Besides, there's stimulus about
this getting up with the sun which
no other hour of~rising quite APP
proaches. 1t recalls the vim with
which, a boy on the farm, you used
to jump up to do the chores, battle
your face in the icy basin near the
pump, down your quota of steaming
bacon and eggs and go to the tasks
of the day with pulses leaping and
joy singing anthems throughout your
soul
Do you doubt what we say? Then
put it to the test. Get up, tomorrow,
with the sun, the chickens and the
legged beasts. Walk to work in
the exhilarating fresh air and sun
shine. And see if it doesn't put pep
into every part of your sluggish sys-
Enterprise Associa-
ton.

Now is the time when it is doubly
worth while to get up at sunrise.
During the winter there's always
temptation to lie abed late and snooze
beneath warm comfortables-whe
you have any. Where ones work
compels a prompter get-up, it's
bother rather than a blessing, and
one is daily reminded of the chap who,
suddenly willed a million, spent his
first days of idleness throwing pillows
al the alarm clock.
Not so. however, as Old Sol crawls
close to the vernal solstice. The glory
of a March sunrise, the glisten upon
the morning frost and the faint but
slowly growing suggestions of coming
sap and buds and flowers and re-
newed twitter of birds are real
pleasures which the sluggard misses.

spoke of several of the qualifications
which were necessary if a man were
to be highly successful in politics.
One of them was the ability to re-
member not only faces, but names.
He said that almost everybody
claimed to be able to remember a
face which he had once seen without
being able to recall the name In his
view it would be better for a politi-
clan never to say to anyone, i can
recall you face. but I don't remem-
Der your name For, in his-oplnion
men took a greater pride in having
their names remembered than in hav-
ing their faces recalled He had OBJ
served. too. that there was one thing
that MANY men were very sensitive
about and that was inaccuracy i'll
calling a mans name. As. for in
stance, giving him the right surname.
but the wrong Christian name.
But il man who had met a politi-
cal leader only once, and that some
years before the second meeting, were
greeted by this leader, not with the
statement. 4 recall your face, but
with a hearty and cordial calling of
the man by his right name, then the
politician would be pretty apt to
make of that man lifelong friend
His pride or his vanity was in this
manner appealed to-
IT have no doubt that Mr.. Blaine
cultivated to it's highest perfection
his native-born gift of remembering
faces and of associating the right
names with the faces, and it is I'M
doubted1y true that this accounted
not wholly, but in part, for Mr..
Blaine's popularity"
! One of the men present added to
the following this statement:
II have been told that Mr. Blaine,
when speaker, would shut his eyes or
lcok away from the printed roll of
members and call every member of
the House of Representatives by
name without making a single mis-
! take

Che PassinS Winter

These lines in passing Through the Sieve,
My fancy have seduced
And caused a-something-t thereto live,
And these-they have produced.
The snow is beautiful TO see
On palace roof or howell,
tbs beautiful en- road or tree,
But wasn't it fierce to shovel?"
tbs grand TO see it grace the rocks
Or in the cascades wash.
It's whiteness then maids cheek mocks,
But, Gee! When it turns to slosh
When of its beauteous, blooming bud
The meadows marge is fruitful,
1t is magnificent! But, Lud!
When e'er one gets a bootfu!
The ice is grand when lakes it grips,
And holds the rivers tightly;
But oh when on it some one slips,
He'd rather fall more lightly.

Montreal Turns to Horse Meat.
Dpnvidauan Journal

HTOul the lONlhNhNt
Free meat under the new tariff may
not be such a good thing for Canada,
after all. The discovery has just been
made in Montreal that horses are be-
ing killed for food and the meat
served in local restaurants. Since
our tariff went into operation the
prices of meats have scared so high
that the poorer classes in Montreal
find prices beyond their reach. Out
side abattoirs not being under gov
eminent inspection. they began to
buy old horses, which they slaughter
ed and cut up for food. Brought into
Montreal as plain beef" and sold
at so much lower prices than other
meats, horse flesh has been freely
bought by the poorer classes. 1t is
said that even some hotels have been
serving juicy steaks to their customers
that came from the best cuts of old
broken-down Dobbins When the
Board of Health was appealed to
to stop the practise the reply was
made that it was utterly helpless to
prevent the sale of horse meat. 1t
is said that inspectors have been UNI
able to tell the carcasses of the
horses. after the bone had been ex-
tracted. from those of good beef
cattle.

Curbing Militapcy.
New York World

From the New York World.
Militancy in England and Wales, 1t
is confidently announced from Lon
don, is rapidly declining through the
operation of the "cat and mouse"
act. According to the figures given,
in the nine months the act has been
in force, only forty-eight persons
have been sent to Jail ''for suffra-
gette outrages," as against 240 In 1872.
OF the number arrested only two are
now in prison, while thirty seven
have fed while temporarily released"
The assurance that militancy has
been got under control is important
if true. For its greater credibility it
is to be hoped that the announcement
will not be followed by an outbreak
of house burning such as has signal
iZed previous announcements of like
tenor. If the British authorities have
really quelled suffragette violence,
they are to be congratulated on deal
ing effectively with one of the most
puzzling problems of government.
But it remains to De seen whether
they are out of the woods. Militancy
is a social disorder with intermittent
and recurrent phases that do not
permit of an exact diagnosis by
prison statistics And considering
the versatile and uncertain condi-
lions of suffragette human nature,
it might be well for England to be
ON it's guard against an outrage"
of a kind designed to show the au-
thorities that the cause is not de-
funct.

\ New Wonder Tool.


From the American Machinist.
The principal limitation of cutting
speeds is the heat generated in the
cutting tool; to overcome the effect
of this heat coolants are usually ap-
piled. As only little of the coolant
gets to the cutting edge this means is
only a partial remedy. The ideal
remedy is to prevent the generation
OF the heat. This has been prac-
tieally attained by a new cutting tool,
made on the disk principle. With it
a cutting speed of AIS feet per min
ute, in mild steel, was used success
fully. The chip was removed with
almost no distortion, was cool and the
tool was also cool.
There may be ways by which we
can prevent the tool from getting
heated, and, if that is the case, then
there would be no limit to cutting
speeds. This has been done by cool
ing the tool by means of some cut
ting lubricant, or, rather, coolant, or
by blowing air on the tool. In this
latter case the air is really the cool
ant. The trouble with this method is,
that it is very difficult to get the
coolant where it will do the most
good; that is, to the point of the tool.
All the heat is generated at this
point, and only a little of the coolant
gets right on the cutting edge.

Preacher Beats Up Bully Who Picked
Fight with Cripple.


Fight with Cripple.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-Rev. l.
w. Henderson, pastor of the Sands
street Memorial NJ. e. Church, Brook
lyn, a tall, stalwart man, practised
his own religious teaching of helping
the weak and crippled against the
strong last evening. He gave a
thorough drubbing to a husky travel
ing salesman from Schenectady when
the latter tried to bully cripple from
Danbury.
1t was lively fight and when the
travelling salesman was arrested and
taken to night court he had black
eye, a bleeding mouth and several
bruises on his face, all produced by
the powerful fists of the preacher.
John Stern was the salesman who
attacked James Brennan, a one legged
halter from Danbury, Conn, when DIR.
Henderson took a hand in the fight.
The magistrate sentenced Stern to
serve ten days on Blackwells Island.

money upon their roads as we do the
average amount of improved roads Is
four times what we have to show for
our money. I ask you gentlemen,
what Is the matter with Iowa?
we have designated in each county
the main travelled roads as county
roads and we have connected them up
so as to create a system OF state
roads. We have increased u road
taxes until we have all the money
we need for making the best kind OF
roads but we are not building any hard
surfaced roads. We do not need any
more taxes. The trouble Is that we
have not yet learned to finance the
taxes we are paying. W. need a
banker. When the railroads were
built across Iowa, the promoters had
their engineers run the grades and
build the bridges but they also were
wise enough to have their bankers.
The bankers realized that a hill once
cut to grade would stay cut forever,
that a road bed ballasted would carry
traffic for many years, and they went
back east to the older civilizations Of
the New England states and OF Europe
where the surplus savings OF an i'm
mense population were seeking invest
ment and they said to these people.
buy our bonds, build our railroads for
us and we will pay for them principal
and interest with u business. They
did not try to build a thirty year rail-
road out of n years freight earn
.ings, neither will we ever build a
thirty-year road pavement out of one
years tax money.
up at Winona, Mimi, they are
building sixteen miles Of concrete paw
Ing over country roads eight feet wide,
with six feet of macadam on each side
for turn-outs and the contract cost was
81. 200 per mile. Out of Pine Bluffs,
Ark, they are building twenty-one
miles just like it and a contract was
let last week in Ohio for tw~enty-three
miles out of GAINESVILLE. A o like
that in Iowa on a ~thirty-year bond plan
would cost $420 per year per mile for
principal and interest. If we assessed
half of it to the land within a mile ana
a half of the road $210 would be d.
vided between twelve farms. THIS
would cost the quarter section with a
half a mile of frontage on the pave
ment $25 per annum special paving
tax. SIS for the next farm back AND $lz
for the farm across the road on the
next section line. The average county
in Iowa now has $50 miles OF county
roads. Its present bridge tax. If bond
ed. would completely bridge the coun-
ty with concrete and pay for 1t all IN
thirty "a with money to tax. Pos
terity would have the bridges and no
bridge tax. It's present county road
tax would in ten years pay the county's
one-half the cost of graveling every
mile of it's county road system, or IN
thirty years it would pay the county's
one-half of both principal and interest

gives several instances Of the injury
which this state of affairs has worked
among the farmers. He said:
