Truch thought has been given il Iate
years to the subject of maternity. l.

equipped with modern methods. But

from the great many splendid letters
written on the subject that our Mothers

mothers. They write Of the wonderful
relief, how it seemed to allow the
muscles to expand without undue strain
and what a splendid influence it was on

influence upon Lac3cs of the future

cutaneous impressions. AID q, tranquil
mother certainly will transmit a more
healthful influence than if she is ex-
trenely nervous from undue pain. Thi-
is what a host of women believe who

Hid in deep sea cave I lie
Mid the drift of the silent years,
And | laugh at the pride of human pow
er
And the sorrows of human tears
For I know l hold in my heart of fire
A strength so cruel and vas.
I can blight the earth and air and
sky
Like flame from the furnace blast.
When I slip along through peaceful
seas
And peer with my Cyclops eye,
No stately ship that ever was built
Though never SO fast she fly
Can race with me: | strike in the
dark
Below her water-line;
l am ruthless, cold as the sword-fn
shark
Like my brother, the floating mine.
Drenched with the salt sea brine, I
bide,
The menace of the sea;
A grim gray wolf, my fangs l hide,
And man is afraid of me!

Judge O'Neill has decided that a
baccaleaurate sermon and prayer at
commencement time is not worship in
the meaning of the law. At Elroy the
controversy arose, some Directing to a
prayer being offered and sermon
preached at the time of graduation in
the public schools. The court held that
prayers are offered in legislatures and
congress, these instances not being
10 oked upon in religious sense. Since
no particular creed or faith is advocat-
ed at commencement it does not in
fringe upon the statutes, he said.

The approaching meeting of the
Wisconsin Legislature in the palatial
new State Capitol serves to recall the
circumstances under which the first
legislative session at Madison was held.
The Capitol, structure not much
larger than the present assembly cham
Der, was still far from completed.
It was poorly and it was freely charged,
corruptly constructed. The floor of
Representative Hall was laid with
green oak boards, full of ice, which
under the heat of the single stove in
the chamber shrunk until one could
thrust his hand between them. In the
raw February days the room became
80 cold that the ink froze in the wells,
and had to be thawed out before work
could proceed. The basement which
was entirely open, had been chosen as
winters home by an enterprising
drove of hogs.
Scarcely less satisfactory than the
capitol were living conditions in Mad
ison. Food was high in price and poor
in quality, and at that the town lcould
care for but fifty guests. The garnet
of the American hotel was marked into
lodging places by cracks in the floor,
while the Madison house, the only other
hotel, crowded six visitors into room
sixteen feet square. An interesting &C.
count of these early days may be found
in volume six of the Wisconsin Histor-
ical collections
