LETS REFORM
iwy reforms tire being agitated for
life beginning of the twentieth century
manv of them sensible ones too The
one occupying the latgest space
an the public mind just
now is that seeding a revision of our
calendar which all admit is a very awk
ward thing as at present arranged
It seems strnnge 3foat the wise men
who established air svstem of
insr time did iKSt hit oroon thirteen
montiis corresponding to the number-
of moons in ths year instead of twelve-
It would have been mcch more con
venient to say the least as well as
much5 more sensible he first twelve
months could be composed of 28 days
each and the thirteenth would have 29
and on leap year 30 days If the iew
year January 1st came on Monday
the lirBt day of each succeeding month
would be on Monday of course and
Ithatwould save a lot of bother Of
course we would have to chauge our
birthdays around to fit the new order
of Ihings and rearrange the dates of
maturing notes but that could easily
be done Have we not adopted a
standard- of timewhich disregards all
meridians and causes twelve oclock
-noon to fall on the same minute over
all ther space of vcountry between Long-
pineiNebraskaand Pittsburg Penn
sylvania And this changing of the
months is a matter which the United
States can indiiige in without the aid
or consent of any other nation on
earth Think -also what a blessing it
would be to do away with that old
verse Thirtydays hatlrSepteraber
etc
The opening of the twentieth
century would be a fitting time for the
inauguration of this reform and while
we are in the reforming business we
nnight as well discard our old-fashion
ed clumsy method of measuring dis
tance by I2 inches make one foot 3
feet make onejard 5 h yards make
one rod 320 rods make one mile and
adopt the metric system of the French
not only iu regard to distances but
weights and other measures We
laugh at the English for computing
their money in pounds shillings and
pence but on avir part the measure oi
value is the only sensible one- we em
ploy Andat the same time why not
have our clocks and watches made
over so that the hours could be com
puted from lto 24 eachi dayinstead ofi
running up to 12 twica each day
Theres bo doubt about it the
United States is old fashioned regard
less of its youth but as youth is al
ways the fhstfco adopt improved sys
tems the United States should be the
first to take -up the reforms above

BRAIN IS INNOCENT
With bis customary brutality and
lack of decency C P Wiltse last week
launched at the editor of this paper
about a half column of abuse and rot
which he flattershimself is sarcasm
but never once in the article does he
mention the name of E J3 Brain or
attempt to s prove the charges made
against that gentleman Instead he
seeks to sinkthe matter into a person
al or newspaper fight instead of keep
ing it on legitimate lines This shows
the weakness of his case
As a matter of fact Wiltsedare pot
attempt to prove that E B Brain was
ever guilty of malfeasance in office
Land his refusal tomake the attemnt
shows that he realizes how futile the
ettort would be aud is a practical ad
mission that the charges made by him
before election were false That is all
this paper desired either proof of the
charges or an admission that they
were false By his silence Wiltse
makes the admission He may vfill
columns -with abuse of The Demo
crat or its editor and neither will pay
attention toit they are not built that
way but ifhejenews his attack upon
Brain both will be found on deck and
if the charges arerproven both will do
as mey agreeq viz aia toe prosecu

dtrophad its origin
You never can tell to what heights of
audacity the average medical student
will reach iu his professional profana
tion of the corpses -upon which he is
called to operate This is pa overbial the
world over and it has come to pass that
he looks upon a human cadaver it was
called it merely
he who first a
ly a fleshly commodity which the vital
spark once gone from it becomes so
much clay to beworked over and ma
nipulated in any way he sees fit
Now you do not believe possibly
enough that tftcTozor trop or uum
skin is an actuality You aire far wrong
t is in existence in -New York
but the traffic in them is carried on sur
reptitiously and as an occasional
means of helping some poverty stricken
med to ekeout a lining
It is well known that in dissecting the
most delicate and finest of steel instru
ments are used It is necessary to keep
these instruments extremely sharp
The ordinary coarse stone or strop
would utteTly destroy the delicate
blades
It is also well known that a razor can
be nicely finished on the palm of the
hand This fact led to the use of small
crude strops made of bits of flesh se
cured in the dissecting room The pon
sibilities of this human flesh strop ap
pealed so forcibly to the practical mirid
of one of the students that he began
experiments which have resulted in the
introduction very quietly on the mar
ket of a razor -strop made of human
flesh
One side of these strops is made of
black flesh and the other side of while
-flesh The skin for these strops is se
cured in this way When students are
given parts of the human body to dis
sect the skin is usually removed aud
thrown away This waste skin is now
in jyreat demand

waH rapid About a quarter of a -mile
from shore the Australian encountered
what he say was the swiftest current
he eer met
The tide had turned since he left the
ferry and was now pouring through the
chamie with the speed of a mill race
The ripples 1 oared like a miniature aea
and threatened to engulf the boate
Cavill struck into it bravely and at
tempted to stay its progress by turn
ing his fare toward Sausaiito and swim

attempted similnr tactics -but the rrzsh
of waters toward the ocean carried

with England and the strength of the
United States militia or national guard
some of our newspapers lately Jjoastod
that an army of 100000 men could be
thrown into Canada within a lew
weeks How many of these men would
be mounted on horseback It is a very
pertinent inquiry for it requires from
three to six months training to make
a cavalryman and some of the states
which furnish large contingents to the
national guard have not a single troop
of horses If there is any lesson that
the failure of the confederacy can teach
I us it is this that an invasion of
Canada and I do not mean that such
by some of the best foreign a thing is in the least probable or cte
