BUFFALO IN IOWA.

It Is we'll known that the prairies
of Iowa were the grazing ground OF
large herds of buffaloes in the early
days before they were all killed or
driven away by Indians AID white
hunters. But even as late as 1868
northern Iowa was visited by herd
of these animals. as is indicated by
the following item discovered IN q
Dubuque newspaper Of that year by
a member lof the research stan OF
the State Historical society of Iowa:
'.Out in the northern part OF Har-
din county, near Iowa Falls, large
drove of buffalces made their appear
ance last week, and the people have
had plenty of sport hunting them. One
old bull that was killed weighed thir-
teen hundred pounds. He<was wound
ed on Thursday evening and escaped;
early the next morning he came across
some stock belonging to an emigrant
who had camped on the prairie, and
killed an OK and one or two cows, and
would have done other damage had
not party of hunters come up and
dispatched him Where the animals
came from, how they managed to
travel so far into the state without
being discovered is a mystery"

cArTLE DISEASE IN 1860.

During the summer. of the year 1861
destructive disease broke out
among the cattle in Massachusetts,
and some Of the adjoining states, and
there was great fear that the cpl
demic might spread throughout the
country. Governor Kirkwood was a
farmer himself" says the writer OF
a biography of the famous war Cover
nor which is being prepared for pub
LEGATION by the State Historical So
city OF Iowa. and since he owned
herd Of cattle on farm near Iowa
city, he was much interested in pre-
venting the appearance of the disease
in Iowa. Consequently he issued
circular letter to county Judges and
other people all over the state warn
ing them not to allow the entry OF
eastern cattle for exhibition at county
fairs and urging them to guard tho
ferries and railroad lines across the
Mississippi to prevent the introduc,
ton OF any diseased cattle into the
state. It was rumored at one time
that the disease appeared in Illinois,
but as far as has been discovered the
Mississippi valley at this time es-
capped the epidemic which caused SO
much loss to the farmers in the east"

1HE ElGHI.HouR DAY.

In the April American Magazine
Ida NJ Tarbell writes another article
in her new business series entitled,
1.-THE Golden Rule in Business" This
months article takes up the length of
the working day. Many Interesting
points and stories are brought out
showing the baneful effects of too
long a working day. On the subject
of how fatigue wears out the human
body, Miss Tarbell writes in part as
follows:
Men and women come in the morn
ing to their tasks with spring Of
fresh energy within them. Little by
little during the hours Of labor they
empty that spring. When it is dry
they must draw from forces which
should be untouched. By some strange
chemistry which no one understands
too well, these intrusions on the
physical forces which should be in
violate. produce in, the human system
true toxic condition-fatigue poison,
auto-poison the scientists call it.
'If this fatigue poison passes a
point where the period of rest follow
ing is not equal to the task of throw
ing it off and filling afresh the spring
of energy; the man goes back to his
toll a little unnt: the longer ne goes
on ths, more unfit he becomes. Slow
" the poison invades his system. The
repairing forces-food. relaxation.
pleasures and sleep-become less and
less equal to the task. The man be-
comes more and more open to the at
tack of disease: less and less able to
do his work; unfit to improve upon
it: unable to grow. He Is an unsafe
man. too. one not to be trusted among
machines in dangerous rlacee The

was too much work. He needed the

is equivalent, regular physical exer-
Use, his s2ring of energy would have
as surely deteriorated as it did from
overwork. The spring Of energy stand
ing idle, would have soured within
him.
"It has taken years OF observation
and experiment to establish with any
thing liFc scientific accuracy the
baneful effects on the laborer and his
product of the too long day. This

ness which even the courts are recog-
MIXING. Moreover, in establishing
these facts there have been discover
les made Of the effects of the shorter
day which have been as heartening as
they have been surprising. They are
discoveries which upset all the old
theories about hours.
Briefly put, they amount to this:
An efght-hour day in a well-managed
shop yields as large q quantity OF
work as ten-hour day, and cuts out
almost entirely certain irritations
and interruptions which always have
characterized the longer work period.
AS for labor, it has become an axiom
in its circle that shortening the day
increases the pay There is many a
manufacturer that will tell you that
shortening the day increases the pro-
fits"

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW.

In view Of the fact that there Is
evidence that not only the public
but, in many instances the press OF
the country also, is under the impress
sion that the decision just rendered
by Judge John G. Pollock, of the fed.
eral district court at Topeka, Kansas,
in which he holds the federal law for
the protection Of migratory birds to
be unconstitutional, Is the final ad.

eous impression has been issued by
President John B. Burnham of the
Game Protective assocfa-
ton:
"Conservationfsts need feel no
alarm over the Kansas decision.
The supreme court of the United
States now has before it on APP
peal, q case from Arkansas in
which the constitutionality of the
law will be finally passed upon.
That case lacks certain important
elements, favorable to the sus-
tanning OF the law, which the,

SCHOOLS AND EPIpEMIcs.


Doubt as to the wisdom OF closing
schools in epidemics of contagious
disease Is expressed by Dr. Francis
George Curtis, Of Newton, Mass, In
a bulletin on the Health of School
Children" just issued by the bureau Of
education. He says: III the schools
are closed when an outbreak occurs,
the children are turned loose from
supervision; they mfngle freely with
one another in the streets, on play
grounds, and in each others houses.
They are having an extra vacation and
enjoying themselves thoroughly and
are unwilling to admit that they feel
i'll, lest they be kept at home and
prevented from having good time.
For this reason they will not say they
feel i'll until the disease is well adj
vanced, and they may be active
sources of infection for some time
before it is discovered that they are
i'll.
IF the schools are kept open and
the children continue in the class
rooms as usual, they are under strict
observation and examined daily by
the school physician, suspicious and
infected cases being sent home for
observation or treatment.
"In this way many children are
sent home before they have had an
opportunity to infect others, thus re-
ducing the probability of spreading
infection. Further than this, the at
tention OF the parents is called to the
fact that the child is feeling Ill AID
he is brought under treatment earlier.
ut seems, therefore. that keeping
the schools open offers the best
chance of safety for the pupils, both
collectively and individually.
Instead of closing the schools and
allowing the children to be scattered
and removed from supervision, when
an outbreak appears the schools
should be kept open as usual and
the children urged to attend The
school physician and nurse should be
detailed to. the school who're the out
break has appeared and instructed to
examine every child daily, excluding
such as appear Ill or suspicious. This
can be done with very little disturb
ance of the school work. "A note must
be sent to the parent stating that the
child seems, or is. i'll and must be
seen by the family physician. Suspi
cious cases must be ordered to remain
at home until further notice, and, II

GErHsEMANE.

GETHsEMANE.
In golden youth, when seems the
earth
A summer land of singing mirth,
When souls are glad and hearts are
light
And not a shadow turks In sight,
We do not know 1t, but there lies
Somewhere yelled under evening
skies
A garden, all must sometime see
The garden of Gethsemane.
With joyous steps we go our ways;
Love lends a halo to our days,
Light sorrows sail like clouds afar.
We laugh and say how strong we are!
We hurry on, and, hurryilg go
Close to the borderland land Of woe
That waits for you, and waits for me,
Forever waits-Gethsemane.
Down shadowy lanes, across strange
streams,
Bridged over by our broken dreams.
Behind the misty caps of years,
Beyond the great salt fount Of tears
The garden lies. Strive as you may,
You cannot miss 1t in your way.
All paths that have been or may be,
Pass som ewhere through Gethsemane,
All those who Journey, soon or late.
Must pass within the gardens gate; ;
Must kneel alone in darkness there,
And battle with some f~ce despair.
God pity those who cannot say,
mot mine but Thine" who only pray
LET this cup pass" and cannot see
His purpose in Gethsamane.
