D. r?OOTT, Thft fa a alack Week in legislation atid indeed it was expected aa city con­ ventions for mayoral and alder manic honors were held this week. The mem­ bers from the large citiea were compelled bo return horns to look after the political fences. The Rogers college trust bill and the Harrison-Harper bill received its just desests from the education committee laat week. They were reported with a recom­ mendation that they do not paea, and the committee prerogative waa never more jastly exercised. The pretty school ma'am will, no doubt, Hobsonizs the Springfield law makers for killing the Harrison-Harper school bill, and a few McHenry County bachelors may regret that they are net in the legislature. Senator Granger was Chairman of the special committee that viaited the Ill­ inois State Univeraity at Champaign, last Thursday. University of Illinois is seeking a large appropiation this year. aDd esprcialiy are they interested in the $150,000 agricultural building. Senator Granger has alse introduced a bill dur­ ing the past week which amends the in- eeritanco law eo aa to make it operative on all bequeathe of over $10,000. The minimum limit ia now fixed at $20,000. ~mx An Horest Medi'ine for L« Grippe. GPO. W.

'Consider what hath been: set be­ fore thee a correct rule of life as an example to follow. The messenger of death will come to thee as to all oth ers to carry thee away; yea, he stand eth ready." "Take heed with all diligence that thou woundest no man with thy words." * "The man who, having received much, givetlf little, is as one who com mittcth an injury." "Whosoever speaketh evil receiveth no good." "When thou hast arrived at years 6f maturity and art married and hast house, forget never the pains which thou hast cost thy mother nor the care which she has bestowed upon thee, lest she lift up her hands to God In heayen, and He listen to her com­ plaint."

BANOEROUS SEA ANIMALS. rhs Wavtilaa, While Beautiful, Should B* Carefully Avoided. , If the bill, which waa favorably re­ ported laat Thursday by the committet on electiona. becomea a law it will be a blow to a great many politiciona. It provides that all candidates for offic* must file with the county clerk an item- ia >d account of their campaign expense* No doubt if thia bill becomea a law Bome of the candidates for office will make a report, something like the follow­ ing, which waa made by a Wisconsin politician, aa taken from a Wisconsin paper: "Lost 4 months and 23 daya. Lost 345 hours9 sleep thinking about the election; 23 acres corn; 4 sheep: 5 hogs; 2 front teeth and some hair.

Called my opponent a liar, fot which I paid a $10 00 doctor bill, had an alfeument with my wife, the result o) which 1 broke one vase, ruined 1 shirt bosom, 2 handfulls of hair pulled out, and bought 10 centa worth of court plaster, besides spending $36*.00 in bard cash. C. F. Holder gives an interesting ac­ count of his experience with the pny- salia, the nautilus-like denizen of southern waters, which float# on the surface with its trailing fishing-lines extending far below. The balloon, or float, is from two to five or six inches in length; a delicate sack filled with air, and tinted with many beautitul hues, among which purple, pearl and pink predominate. One end is elongated like a finger, and along the dorsal sur­ face extends a ruffle, which can be raised at will, and becomes a perfect sail, rich tinted in red, yellow, pink and silver. When the animal is at rest the membrane is furled; at other times it is raised two or three inches, and, catching the wind, drags the ten­ tacles at an angle of 40 degrees to the surface of the water. There are pur­ ple, hair-like objects, which look very beautiful, as crinkled and curly, they drift through the water. But woe to the unfortunate fish which, attracted., by their bright appearance, touches them. He Is instanitly inclosed by tne tentacles and stung to death with a thousand darts. The tentacles arc covered with minute bombs, resemb­ ling an elongated capsule, in the in­ terior of which is the dart, a thread with branching points on either side, says the Boston Transcript. But this is not the entire armament of the physalia. The cOiled dart or lasso floats in a liquid poison of great power, of the effect of which Mr. Hol­ der speaks from personal experience. He was swimming in five feet of wa­ ter, when he passed over the tentacles of a large physalia. The sensation as the purple threads wound round the abdomen and thigh was of molten met­ al being thrown upon the flesh, and the shock was so great that he had to be assisted from the water. They tried vainly to rub off the blue mass with cloths, and then with knives, and Anally a razor was used. The flesh waa raised as in a burn, the mass of darts apparently eating into the flesh. The case became alarming, trad a fa­ tal termination might have resulted had not aid been at hand. One singular symptom of the shock was an obsti­ nate asthmaitic condition, which made breathing almost Impossible. It was several weeks before the wounds yere completely healed, and even twelve months after the flesh had the appear­ ance of being tattoed in fanciful de­ signs of blue India Ink. Of all the so-called "stinging animals" found in the sea, the beautiful physalia Is prob­ ably the most dangerous. BUSHTBSS OAJBDS. O. tLiaiLLMORB.

Bordeaux fired at the birds to frighten them, but they swooped down on hi in. A concerted at­ tack followed. Bordeaux, meanwhile, was not idle, iind he swung his gun right and left. The ground near him was strewn with the bodies of the dead and injured crows, but still the attack was continued. Tfiofdeaux was getting Weak. The crows had pecked his head. Ilis ears were t<frn, his eyes injured and his face and arms Were covered with blood. He was stagger­ ing from the effects of the attack of the birds and had almost fallen to the ground, when two hunters arrived on the scene. They took in the situation at a glance and began a bombardment of the birds. This was unlooked for on the part of the crows, and a moment later they deserted their victim and flew away. • >R. A. B.

There are various ways of showing heroism, anil the deed may be none the less heroic because the object is not of the human sj>ee;es. For instance, there is pretty seutinient about the recent action of Commander Lewis Blackburn of the cruiser Blenheim in saving the life of his pet gazelle. As the comman­ der was leaving the British warship, Hoyal Adelaide, a gazelle, whk-h lie had recently brought home from abroad, ran to meet him, and in affec­ tionately cvrljbiug against him, fell overboanl The gallant officer, who was in full uniform, promptly plunged into the basin, although the risk was gi at, tbe niglit being intensely dark, and there being chaihs between the Adelaide -and other ships. Shouting for lights to be brought, he kept him­ self and the animal afloat until both were assisted to dry land. News comes from ^aubegan that a son and daughter of Bernard Dove died on Saturday last of diphtheria. "It's all a matter of temperamem, said the good-natured man. "It if Just as easy to avoid trouble with men as to get into it--if you know how. Some men are well balanced nervously and that's why they're easy to get along with. You sometimes think it's you that does it, but it isn't. It takes two persons to quarrel. All you've got to do if you're a philosopher In search of peace, is to find out the tempera ment of your man and act according iy. "Yes, bless you, there are a hundred ways of telling a man's temperament, but the physiological signs are not al ways exact. Men of strong natures disguise their true characteristics of tener than you think, and you are like ly to be fooled. "I have a simple method of learn ing the temperament of my man that I have found to be very accurate, When I see a bunch of keys I know him. Your nervous man of much en ergy and hasty action in thought, speech and movement, carries a bunch of rusty keys. Why? Because his na­ ture is intense. He does everything at high tension. This is an admirable attribute, and often productive of great good, but that man is likely to be hasty and if you do not know him you are into an altercation in spite of yourself. "Why are his keys rusty? I'll tell you. Such a man perspires constantly. I don't mean that he perspires percep­ tibly, but that his skin is always warm and moist; this moisture perme­ ates his clothing and affects the keys in his pocket, which soon become rusty. It Is as unfailing a sign of a man's temperament as his. face is of­ ten a complete mask. "Now for the man with the shining keys on which there is not a speck of rust. He is deliberate, slow of thought and speech. You cannot quarrel with him because he must think it over, and meantime you have had time to think it over and so you part friends. Ills skin is cool and dry always." With tyiat the good-natured man ex­ hibited his keys; they were as bright as when first made. The other man took out his keys; not one that was not rusted. In this instance, at least, the sign had come true, for the man of the rusty keys was exactly in tempera- meat as the t)tlier had said be should be.--Kansas City Star. Iceland's Development. In the far north, in high latitudes, where the long winter means not only severe cold, but also a "winter night" of long duration, the prime conditions of human life are more than anywhere else "warmth and light." They are the basis of exisitence for the inhabi­ tants of those regions, and upon them depends the development of the coun­ try. From the partial lack of these fundamental necessities Iceland, which Is settled by about 76,000 people, has already suffered, and a country rich in many respects remains unimproved. But, besides an untold wealth of min­ erals, Iceland possesses another treas­ ure which still remains unemployed. There are three gigantic waterfalls, the Sullfors, the Gudafors and the Al- larfors. The power of any of these three falls is, according to recent cal­ culations, superior to any waterfall in Europe, and can be compared only to Niagara. Since the enormous power has been ascertained a gigantic project has been proposed to the authorities, providing for the employment of the enormous water power for the light­ ing by electricity of the entire island, and for the lighting and heating of all the dwellings in the inhabited districts. Far the commercal development of Iceland, particularly for the explora­ tion of the enormous ore deposits, the use of electrical power would also be of the utmost Importance, since it could be furnished at a very small cost by the rational Use of the three gigantic falls.

Among the many peculiar religious observances of the day none is more remarkable or striking than the jump- ing or dancing procession of Echter- nach, a small town in the Duchy of Luxemburg. On each Whit-Tuesday the peasants observe this strange cere­ mony, and there are some old people in the town who have joined the danc­ ing procession every year since they were babies. The town was in ancient times very important and was for ten centuries the seat of a magnificent ab­ bey, which was the fount of religion, art and science for leagues around. It was founded by St. Willibrord, an Anglo-Saxon missionary monk, who died in 739. Soon after a strange dis­ ease broke out among the cattle which were seized with a convulsive trem­ bling resembling St. Vitus' dance. Tha people in despair turned to their patron saint. Willibrord, and that their cat­ tle might be cured they themselves Jumped and danced in the way the an­ imals did. Tijeir prayers were an­ swered, atad as each year the jumping privilege was neglected the disease broke out it is rellglou .y observed each season For eleven centuries the custom has been kept up Fifteen to twenty thousand people anhually take part in this fascinating ceremony, which is believed to jiid those praying for recovery from 8<t. Vitus' danci>.,The dancing steps consist of three Jumpi -g steps forward and two buck ward. Three-quarters of a mile is ti a versed. Help...
