It is an up to date paper, thirty-two pages, and shows that the Great Falls is a wide awake city. A postal card says that *'he sender is well and Misses Maude Rice and Emma Ehrsman are all enjoying good health and still at work at their same places. The Berne AA’itness and the Decatur Democrat are killing the cause of prohibition in sections of Adams county by a continuous performance of windjamming. Up till the present the AA’itness has slightly the better of the argument, as Fred i Roher. its editor, is a noted windi jammer and straddler. The readers lof both papers, and the people of Berne in particular, are disgusted alike with the conflict and with the situation in that town. — AA’illshire Herald.

Late Friday evening he came to this town and wus soon I "piped” by a number of people who had him to move on. AA’herever he went he was told what would Is* best for him to do and the advice Anally too kJ ffect. He started for the railroad and is said to have caught the flrst freight train that came along. The printers gained another victory over the cigar makers Fourth of July morning with a score of twelve to three. This makes two straight games for the former and the weed rollers are now ready to give up. The game was an unevenly matched affair and the victors won by their heavy batting. The cigar makers could not hit the bill when it count nor at any other time to any great extent. The printers now claim a team strong enough to beat any second amateur club in the city and are open for a challenge.

WORK AND REST. When They Alternate Perfectly, a Man Will Enjoy Both. After work comes rest. When they alternate perfectly a man may prepare to enjoy real happiness. When they alternate perfectly a man will enjoy both the work and the rest that follows it. Nature is a just old lady. She seldom gives a man more than he needs. If he elects to live a lazy life she lets his muscles get flabby and his brain go sleepy. She never permits him to long possess a faculty or a nerve or a muscle or a sinew that he does not use. The proper way to keep your muscles or your brains is to use ’em up and let nature provide you with a fresh supply. Nature is assisted in this work byrest. One may rest sometimes by seeking a change of labor. Labor thus becomes a recreationre-creation. To live happily in this world it is not enough to know how to work. A man must also know how to rest. The man who knows only bow to work will soon wear out. If he doesn't wear o t immediately Ills work will suffer in some way. No Lain can do Ids best work unless he alternates it with a little play or a little rest. A man who can’t drop his work from his mind us readily as he can drop his tools from bis hands had lietter take a few weeks off to study the rest question. His nerves are not what they should be. If a man wishes to keep bis nerve, let him avoid nerves.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Ivy Clad Buildlnßs. So long as the walls of a building are sound and the bricks or stones, well cemented together, offer no fissures or cracks for the plant to force Its way into, there is nothing whatever to fear. Should the ivy, however, find an opening, and so thrust itself into the wall, the natural and continuous expansion of its parts will tend to loosen the stones and hasten the decay of the building. A fair growth of ivy on sound walls that allow of no advances beyond the superficial attachment of the claspers, or aerial roots, as they are called, is altogether beneficial. It promotes dryness and warmth, counteracts the corrosive action of the atmosphere and is at once a shelter and an ornament. These aerial roots are not sourcns of nutrition, but ftterely serve as mechanical support to tlie climbing ivy. The contention that they sap the whole of the moisture from mortar, leaving it excessively dry and crumbling, lias therefore no foundation In fact son don Standard. A lllsKuiscd Toast. At one time the officers under Lord Hone refused to drink liis health at their mess, for, though n splendid admiral. he was not popular in the navy on account of a certain shyness and want of tact with those about him. The chaplain, who was a protege of his lordship, was mortified at this and determined that Hie officers should drink to Lord Howe. When called upon for a toast one day he said, "Well, gentlemen, I can think of nothing better at this moment than to ask you to drink the first two words of the Tfilrd Psalm, for a Scriptural toast for once may lie taken from one of my cloth.” The toast was drunk. Not one of the officers indicated by word or look that lie was ignorant of the words alluded to. On referring to the Bible It was found that the Third Psalm begins, "Lord, how are they Increased!” America’s l.nrueal Snake. The largest American serpent Is the nnncondn. which may attain a length of thirty feet. It inhabits tropica) America nnd Is n handsome animal with dark round spots rcsttcred over Its whole body on a groundwork of rich brown. It Is very fond of water nnd haunts the banks of rivers, hikes nnd streams, there lying In wait for nny deer or pecenry which may come to the margin of the water to drink.

SECRETS OF THE BODY. The l k rofcresN Science Haw Made f't Two Hundred Yearw. A century ngo the work of the modern surgeon would have been denounced by the theologians, who then ruled mankind, as audacious Intrusions into the exclusive jurisdiction of God. Twc centuries ago, or, at the furthest, three, the man of science who would take out the viscera of a man, cut out their disease and put them back would have been fortunate to escape the stake or the block. But the audacious invader of the secrets of the body, the beneficent healer who, with his vial or his knife, lessens the miseries of humanity, diminishes or destroys pain, prolongs life and smooths its pathway to the grave—this is now the man who appeals most strongly to his fellow beings. For Idm and his training the captains of industry are pouring out their millions, building him colleges and laboratories, endowing professorships, while tlie world at large halls him as a man of power and influence at a time when wealth is accumulating and w hen men are not decaying. More and more, very likely, we shall see the strong men of the college classes choosing medicine, although the time lias not yet come for domination over the lawyer, who is now engaged in settling the direction and the form in which the captains of industry shall carry on tlieir development of the world’s wealth. The time seems to be coming, however, when the indefinite prolongation of human life and the destruction of the enemies of human health, a work which almost suggests the creative power, will be the task that will call for and will receive the service of the best training of our colleges and universities—that is, when the appeal of medicine and surgery will be addressed inevitably to the best in every college class, just as once the call came from the ministry and then from the bench and bar and senata house.—Harper’s Weekly. WHAT “WHIRLERS” ARE. And She Incident From Which It Is Said They Got Their Name. “There was a dealer in haberdashery." said a college professor, "to whom a teamster once came and said, ‘I want to get a pair of whirlers, sir.’ •• ‘Whirlers?’ said the haberdasher. ‘AVhat on earth are whirlers?’ “ 'Why, stockings with the feet cut out,’ the teamster answered. “‘Ohl’ said the haberdasher. ‘Well, I haven't any whirlers. but I’ve got some very excellent stockings. Suppose I show you some.’ “‘All right.' the teamster said. "So the haberdasher exhibited the best stockings he had in his shop, and the other selected a line pair, saying: “ T suppose you don’t mind making whirlers out of them for me?’ ‘“Not at all.’ retorted the other, and with a pair of shears be cut the feet off tlie stockings. “ ‘Now,’ said the teamster, ‘how much are they?’ “ ‘Fifty cents, the same as before, of course.’ ‘“Fifty cents? Why. I never paid more than it) cents anywhere,’ said the teamster, and lie smiled meaningly and made as if to depart. “‘Hold on!’ the haberdasher cried. ‘Don’t leave me in a lurch like this. Tlie price of these stockings is 50 cents.’ '“They’re whirlers, not stockings, now.’ the other said. “‘Well, take them, then. You’ve done me. Take your whirlers.’ st.,d the haberdasher. "And since that time,’’ the professor concluded, ‘‘whirlers has been tlie name for stockings without feet”— New York Tribune. A Colil Blooded Gambler. The French court was at one time a hotbed of gambling. Louis XIV. would play for heavy stakes night after night, and many courtiers were ruined at his table. His successor, who lacked his predecessor’s geniality and good nature, was an even greater devotee of the card table. The story is told that when tills king was playing one evening a gentleman present was seized with apoplexy. "M. de Chauvelln Is ill," one of tlie courtiers ventured to tell Louis. “HI!” said tlie king, quite unmoved. "He is dead. Take him away. Spades are trumps, gentlemen.” Instinct. That Lead to Dentil. Professor Mivart proved that there are "instincts" that lead to dentil by falling to adapt themselves to a change of circumstances. Migratory quail by thousands perish in tlie deserts of northern Africa, where their ancestors used to find a comfortable winter resort, abounding with forests and even with grain tielils, if we stiall credit Pliny’s account of the Nuniidian coast lands. Tlie forests are gone, but myriads of quail still follow in the same route at tlie risk of starvation. He Didn't Know the Sex.
