possible that middle-western town
like Cedar Rapids should tomorrow
begin to put forth group Of heroes,
who should overrun the earth with
the charm and vigor Of their ideas.

hame from mind, and once again you
would have the miracle of Plato's
Athens, Of Elizabeth's London.
II now and again some man had
not decided to stop drifting and take
hold Of things and reshape them,
there would have been no discovery,
no invention, no art. He might have

Why be in a hurry? Why SO hot, lit

Now Is the time, and the place is
here, to bring my idea to action. I
insist on being heard. Here Is the
plan We will not postpone it till
next century. We will try it now"

bareheaded, as the clerk had taken his

toYsTER NOT GOOD FOR ALL

to Physician.

1t Is, popularity supposed that the
oyster digests himself in the human
stomach owing to the great size of the
liver. which Is crushed as mastica,
ton begins and is thought to digest
the mollusk itself. AS the oyster,
moreover, contains some ten per cent.
Of extremely assimilation protein, to.
gether with phosphorized fats and
glycogen, 1t has always been freely ad.
ministered to convalescents, while
dyspeptic bons vivants have never
hesitated to eat 1t abundantly.
Doctor Prom expresses the opinion
that the oyster may be allowed,
therefore. to those dyspeptics whose
gastric functions are deficient, In
anorexla, gastric atony, ulcer and in.
cipient cancer, and to convalescents
from acute disease, as 1t is likely to
improve the appetite and to excite the
stomach to increased motor and chem.
ical activity.
But to the large number of dyspep.
tics whose stomachs are hyperacid OF
representative Doctor Prom would
forbid the oyster as we'll as all other
stimulating foods. In many of these
dyspeptics the gastric secretion Is al
ready sufficient, and It is unnecessary
and unwise to increase It.

MALAYs NOT OF ONE RACE
Common Error, But Travellers Know
That It Has No Foundation
In Fact.

Take the Java Malay, be he Java
Nese, Soundanese. or Madourese.
Watch him climb a cocoanut palm; in
less than no time he Is at the top OF
the smooth trunk, fifty or sixty feet in
height Notice him In the street,
sQuatting-his toes. like those of a
monkey, prominent-on the edge of a
step or pavement, note his sinuous
movements! Is he not man of nature
all over? All the aboriginal inhabi
tants OF the Malay archipelago are
Malays, but In Java alone you find the
calm, quiet Soundanese of West Java,
the true Javanese of Middle Jaya-s
much finer race-and the treacherous
Madourese of Madoura and East Java.
1t Is therefore evident that to talk
about "Malays" is really incorrect.
Anthropologically only Is it really
correct to term all these peoples Ma.
lays; one would not think of terming
all white people Aryans. The term
Malay" merely refers to one of the
great families of mankind. The Malay
men folk, taking them as q whole, do
not make as near 30 good an impres.
sion as their women. Contrary to
what they really are, they look puny i;
they are also short, have shifty eyes,
broad nose, perhaps a mustache, sci:
dom beard; they are lazy, untrust.
worthy, will harbor revenge for years,
are usually ugly. Being Moslems. they
all wear head covering, made of col.
&6red linen. The lower classes wear
this carelessly, although the Malays OF
higher standing are very careful in ar.
ranging it, which they do very ingeni.
ously. 1t looks incongruous to see q
Malay with a "topee,' or helmet, above
his usual head covering; nevertheless,
this Is general. A pair Of cotton
pants. shirt, and girdle of printed
cloth, called "sarong," form the av.
erage Malay's garb, and he is seldom
without his kris or dagger-like

TEcHNIcALl1Y ONCE OF USE
Undoubtedly Served Good Purposs
When Criminal Laws Were 80
unreasonably. Sewers.

You remember the trial scene In
"The Merchant of Venice" The quail
ity Of mercy" has failed. The learned
Daniel Of Judgment has refused the
plea to "wrest once the law to your
authority" Shylock Is whetting his
knife for the pound Of flesh. And then
-Tarry little, there is something
else. The bond doth give thee here
no jot Of blood"-a technicality. All
through the English law OF the period
am discussing, English criminal law
yers, with the connivance Of humane
English judges, were playing the part
OF Portia, inventing ingenious excuses
by which humanity might triumph
over barbarism.O 0 Here Is a man in
dicted for stealing a sheep-penalty,
death. The proof was that he stole
eve, but the statute used the word
"ewe" as well asr"sheep." and the
prisoner escaped. He had not stolen
sheep.
In 1897, an indictment read that the
jurors "on their OATH" instead of ION
their oaths,' charged a man with a
crime and for this reason the indict.
ment was found defective and on this
technicality the prisoner was dis
charged
That these technicalities were in
their own time undesirable substitutes
for the law reform must be admitted.
But they had reason for existence,
due to the barbarous condition of the
criminal law.-World's Work.
