Observance of Day of R??t Undoubt edly Neceaaary to the Nation'* Well Being. All forward looking minds must fuel moiiio apprehension for tho mental, mortal and especially the physical woll being of the American people, as they 1 see how t tic* Sabbath la 0)0 r a and more ?given over to business and pleasure, ! declares the Universalis! Leader. No [ nallon ouii be strong unless it has a | rest day ft vftry week; no man or com munity can 1)1' spiritually strong Ull less ho or It sets auklit and uses the Subbath for worship of the unseen Hpirituul power that made and upholds the universe': and Km freight of life. Gladstone attributed much of hit* vig orous* health and his long life to 1 1 ? * ? fact that nothliiK. not even cabinet making, ever prevented him, from at tending church. The puritan in Amer ica gave the enduring moral fiber to our national life, ilia Sabbatarianism was* a portion of thlu might in him; ft*4 roveren.ced Ood, he mastered earth. A revival of puritanic Sabbatarian lam would greatly benefit thin land of j oum. Modern civilization would, of j course, make the. old sabbath quiet, j much different than it way in the j primitive ?communities of three gener ation* ago, but we are noisy >about many needless things, sports that do not i est, amiiHementH thai do not recreate, business that does not yield a permanent profit. Consider the old adage: "The Sabbath Is for works of mercy and necessity only." One phafte of the puritan )if9*haB long appealed to us, tho fact that bo, little cooking was done on Sunday. The Sunday meals were prepared on Saturday. The slave of tho cook Btove wuh manumitted on the Sabbath. Could we not imitate that custom and have simpler meals* on the S&bbath, thus giving freedom to worship to our mod ern kitchen bondwoman, whether mother or hired, servant? GET SUGAR FROM SAWDUST Chemically Prepared Material Found j by Scientists to Be Valuable Food for Animals. In the course of a paper read before the London Royal Society of Arts, A. Zimmerman described a process by which sugar might be manufactured from sawdust. ? In its natural state, he pointed outr says London Tit-Bits, wood contains no sugar, but when subjected in closed retorts* to digestion with a ? weak sul phurous acid solution under pressure of six to seven atmospheres a very remarkable transmutation takes place, as much as 25 per cent, of the mate rial being converted into sugar. In this Mr. Zimmerman claims that we have a valuable feeding stuff for horses, cattle and sheep. Draft horses In whose daily ration four pounds of "cacchulose-molasses ' were substituted for four pounds of oats .were kept under observation for seven months and were all found to have increased in weight, whilo a colt which was in so weak a condition that veterinary surgeons advised Its destruction put on ?60 pounds In six months and is now in excellent condi tion. Then He Didn't Want Them. Dejectedly twirling his thumbs the clerk sat in the box office of tlje Frivolity theater. A depressing air of failure hung over the theater, and It looked as though the piece would have to be withdrawn very shortly. Suddenly he perked up as" a coun trified man and his wife came in, fol lowed by their three daughters and two sons. "Have you got seven seats In the middle of the second row for to night?" asked paterfamilias. The box office man made a -pretense of examining the plan of seats. "Yes, 1 find they aro vacant, sir," paid ho, trying to repress his excite ment, "Shall 1 book them -for you, sir?" ^ "Er ? no, 1 think not," said the man from the country. "If you've got those seats on your hands it seems to me the. play can't be up to much! Good morning ! " Diagnosis by Electricity. For the benefit of the nervous cases, that come to the doctor, it has been asserted by Scripture that it is just as necessary to know how emotional they aro as it is to knftw how high the temperature is in a case of fever. Moreover, in many cases it is neces sary to tlnd out what experiences in the past or present life of the patient produce emotions. For this purpose the patient sits at ease with hands on the electrodes, which may be so con cealed in the arms of his chair that he is unaware that the most intimate processes of his soul are being reg istered as various words are spoken or various topics of conversation are dl? cussed, the galvanometer showing when a sensitive subject hau been touched ?

A similar uncertainty attaches to a pair of old colors of the 2d Bor der regiment, which were recovered | from a London pawn broker, who waH : offering them for sale, by Ix?rd Archl-j bald Campbell In 1888. Four years later four colors which lxad accompanied the Gloucester regi ment In Egypt and In the penlusula were recovered frotn a York pawn broker. It appeared that, having been bequeathed ,by an old colonel of the regiment to his son, they were ulti mately secured by a servant, who, fall ing on evil times, pawned them for a few shillings. SEVILLE STILL HAS CARMENS Thousands of the Picturesque and Charming Cigarette Girls Are Employed There. The most astonishing building in the Calle do San Fernando is the im mense two story baroque edifice that covers more ground than the cathe dral plus the court of oranges, and serves the purpose of a tobacco fac-" tory. The portal is adorned with busts Of Columbus and Fernando Cortes, and I wish very much that we had had >time to go inside and see these many cigarette girls at their work. As we passed I thought again of Carmen and the story of Bizet's fantastic Sevillian opera, for about. 6,000 Carmens, or "cigareras," like Carmen, are em ployed in this factory, and attire them selves today in gay gowns and fas cinating mantillas, with flowers tucked under their ears and coquettishly placed in {>Ueir hair, very much like tho heroine of the opera. Like the opera, also, adjoining the factory are the artillery barracks, and one imag ines it to be quite possible that some impressionable I>on Jose should be fascinated by some of these , piquant and Pretty Carmens. ? From "Royal 'Spain of Todajy," by Mrs. Tryphosa Bates- Batcheller. See Value of Exercise. There is no doubt but that exercise is a good thing for those who do not get it, but to many the daily use of dumb-bells, weights and similar, ap paratus grows irksome, the reasori be ing a lack of stimulation owing to the fact that the person taking the exer cise sees nothing accomplished as the result of the work and time spent. Gladstone preferred t6 work at the woodpile, and here anil there was the constantly maintained interest of see ing the pile increase after each period of action. The same has been accom-, plished in a real up to-the-moment manner by a French inventor who lias taken an exercising machine which 1b rather familiar in the shape of a bicycle on a permanent stand, and he has combined this with a storage bat tery. When the various members of the family are taking their daily exer cise on this machine they are storing up current to be used in the form of il luminant after nightfall. Architects Held to Account. It is unusual for a house, however small, to be erected in France without the service of an architect, who not only draws the plans, but' actually su perintends the work. Usually It Is he who orderB the building material and assures himself that its quality is up to specifications and requirements. The contractor and his workmen per form their duties in conformity with the architect's orders, and the latter, who is usually a man of capital, ad vances the funds required in order that the contractor need not wait for payment until the building is com pleted. Moreover, the French law im poses on the architect a serious re sponsibility, Blnce he, as well as the contractor, is responsible for all de fects of construction during a period of ten years. Lame-Sickness Caused by Plants. An Investigation of the South Afri can dikuasH known as lamzlekie, or lame-sieknees, suggests that it is due to u special plant poison that 1b gen erated under abnormal conditions in grassi a or other plants That are rior mally harmless. Its development seems to be associated with unusual weather and t?oil experiences, of which summer drought is important Through such conditions wilting would favor 4h*? forrr.atlOTV oT the poi son. and this gives explanation for the common belief that the disease results from eating wilted plaot*.
