A CAUTIOUS PROPOSAL.


Nc Chance For e Breach Of Promiso
Suit From This Letter.
Many were the famous characters
produced on the circuits of early
days, says Arthur W. Spaulding-
men fearless in danger, unwearying
in labor, enduring in privation, pow
erful in exhortation, ready in wit
and often prepared to use physical
as well as spiritual muscle in their
eombats with the devil and his hui
man agents.
Among the most interesting of
them was Lorenzo Dow, rowing
preacher, whose work was not con
fined to the mountains on the from
tier, for although he labored from
the high peaks of North Carolina
to the banks of the Mississippi and
from Georgia to Canada, he was
wen known also along the Atlantic
coast and even in England and Ire
land. Restless and eager, he con-
tinually travelled. Nor would he
marry until he had found a young
woman who would promise that she
would spare him from home twelve
months out Of thirteen.
His proposal of marriage, letter
that is, | think, unique in the de-
liberation and caution with which
it approaches the subject, ran as
follows:
'1f l am preserved, about a year
and.A half,from now ! am in hopes
of seeing this northern country
again; and if during this time You
live and remain single and find no
one that You like better than you
do me and would be willing 10 give
me up twelve months out Of thir-
teen or three years out Of four to
travel, and that in foreign lands, /
and never say, Do not go to your /
appointment, etc--for if you should 1
stand in the way, I should pray to
God to remove you, which ! believe
He would answer-and if / find no
one that / like better than do
you, perhaps something further
may be said upon the subject. p

soOss,s Rapid wrisina.

Sir Walter Scott was one Of the
most rapid writer's that the world
has ever known. He wrote Guy
Mannering" in a couple Of months,
and the same time sufEiced for "0ld
Mortality" while 'Tvanhoe" was ac-
tuaIly dictated as Scott lay upon q
couch suffering from excruciating
pain. But perhaps the most rapid
work even he ever accomplished
was his colossal Life Of Napo-.
leon," in nine volumes. This he
wrote in one year, intermixed with
much other work.

Jean Paul Marat was assassinated

who announced that she had been
commanded by God to kill the fire
brand of the French revolution.
Marat was the most extreme Of
the popular leaders jim the great
upheaval that made France a re-
public. When other men talked Of
democracy and equal rights he call
ed for blood and revenge. By
means of a little newspaper called
the Peoples Voice Marat kept
afame the resentment against
French nobility and did more than
any other one man to bring about
the execution of the king and
queen.

Chinese characters do not ex-
press sounds, although the pitch Of
the voice is significant. Their let
tiers are ideographs or writings of
ideas or things. Hence the Chinese
have no alphabet, strictly speaking.
For this reason, says the. Popular
Science Monthly, the Chinese must
employ an astounding number Of
characters. It takes about 10000
characters to print book in the
Chinese language, yet sometimes
an entire thought or a whole SEN
tence is represented by one charac-
ter. The word sblack" is one char
acter, and so is mother" dead, "
eyes," yellow" and great many
other words. With such a conglom-
Grafton, is it any wonder that the
American printer wonders how it is
possible to print anything in Chi
nese?

The highest part Of the city Of
London is the middle Of Pannier
alley, running between Newgate
street and Paternoster row. Ben
Jonson tells Us that in his day this
was a stand for tripe sellers and
earlier still for bakers. The exact
spot is indicated on the east wall by
a stone monument consisting Of q
boy sitting upon a bakers basket,
holding a bunch Of grapes. On the
pedestal is this inscription:
When re have sought the city round,
Yet still this Is the highest ground.

How Microbes Are Mollyeoddled Fer
Cultivation Purposes.
Think of cultivating deadly
germs, the typhoid bacillus, for in
stance, with as much care and at
tention to diet and environment as
would be given to a delicate orchid
or even to a beautiful babyl That
is what Is being done at the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History in
New York city, says the Popular
Science Monthly.
Up in one of the tower rooms
there is regular nursery for germs.
They live in tubes, rows on rows of
them, In neatly arranged and CLASH
fed wooden racks. Each tube con-
tains a jelly, and on top Of this jelly
is q wrinkled mass of whitish, yel-
lowish OF brownish scum. In this
scum are the babies or plants, as
the museum bacteriologist Classics
them.
The Jelly ia made up Of meat,
pCptUuc @1Q t4lc C4ttdCt lEO4l agar
a Japanese seaweed. Some of the
germs, however, are fastidious and
require egg; others must have
blood; still others need milk and
special kinds Of salts. The food
Of each particular germ
are as carefully studied and com
pounded as are the special dishes in
the diet kitchen of hospital.
Some Of the bacteria viii live for
weeks without special attention,
while others must be transferred to
a fresh tube Of food jelly every
three days. To transfer them the
Psychologist in charge simply
touches the scum IN the tube with
/ platinum needle. The bacteria
adhere to the needle, but readily
irop off into the fresh jelly. The

Christian Organizations With the
Army.

just as the Young Mems Chris
tan Association represents the
Protestant denominations, which
viii constitute roughly sixty per
cent Of the new army, so the
Knights of Columbus represent
the Catholic denomination. which
viii constitute perhaps thirty-fiye
per cent of the army. While this
latter society is a fraternal organ
ization, it will sustain exactly the
same relation to the camps as is
sustained by the Young Men,
Christian Association, and will
hold no meetings to which all the
troops in the camp are not in
vited, regardless of religious or
other preference. Instead, the
admission Of both these societies
to military reservations was upon
the condition that they would
not limit their activities to per-
ocular constituency, and that their
buildings would at all times and
for all meetings be open to the
entire camp. The Young Men 3
Hebrew Association in its recre-
alton work has identified itself
with the Young Mems Christian
Association.

1t may appear strange, but it is
nevertheless true, that there are
over 1000 languages spoken by
mankind, while the number Of dia-
1ects exceeds this. There are more
than sixty vocabularies in Brazil,
and In Mexico the Nahua is broken
up into some 700 dialects. There
are hundreds in Borneo, while in
Australia there is no classifying the
complexities. Let us assume that
fifty dialects on an average belong
to each language, and we have the
colossal total Of a quarter of mil
lion Linguistic abilities.

A great deal has been writer
about the Non Partisan League
the North Dakota organization
now seeking political control n
other western states and Idaho ~
particular.
IN arguments pro and con one
fundamental fact is often lost
sight OF and that is that this new
party aims strictly at class legis-
lation.
j. NJ. Baer. Non-Partisan con-
gresham from North Dakota
in the last issue of Leslies Week
ly says: 1.-The Non-Partisan
League confines its membership
to farmers and is organized for
the purpose of enabling the farm
err to have a voice in shaping legls-
lation to his needs. I" Mr.. Baer
then goes ON to say that whatever
benefits the farmers benefits "ey-
cry other class of people. F"
Tho farmer now has just as
much of a voice in shaping lesls-
lation for his needs as any other
class of people and we beg to
differ with Mr.. Baer and the pro-
m0ters OF the league here.
The purpose of this organiza-
ton is to form a farmers trust
pure and simple and there is no
between a farmers trust
and a bankers trust or any other
Kind of a trust.

The feminine direct descendants
Of the famous Aztecs are tiny crea-
lures, exquisitely formed and re-
fined in feature. They carry the
head with the upbearing grace Of
the full blooded Indian; their skins
are not red, but a clear, smooth
copper color that shines like gold
in the sun; their hair is coarse and
black as ebony, and they are dec
grated with bright feathers and
gay ornaments. These women make
the most wonderful pottery that
comes to US from Mexico, for they
have kept the old Aztec forms and
decorations in their art, and they
also weave wonderful baskets and
do exquisite embroidery.
