NEMAHA ADVERTISER. W. W. SANDBHSi Publisher NEMAHA, - NKHRAHlfA Wlin t llio Orient needs moHt of nil llijngfl Is a Monroo doctrine. A war hero with n long nnmo linn n doubtful cluinoo of its bolng handod down to posterity. Tho hunter who employs wounded ducks lift decoys Is wholly without tho pnlo of humane consideration. Few men nre so llnlenl as to refuse to grow Interested In n war until they have ascertained what It Is all about. Now Hint u freo pass does not mean accident Insurance, some of our law makers may not consider It a very val uable asset. The British naval estimates for 1D0J "all for nearly .yJOO.OOO.OOO for new nhlps. A navy comes high, but, by Jingo, wo must have It! Hr. Knylor Is claiming that there are no female angels In heaven. We can not argue that proposition, but thero are plenty of them on earth. If there Is a man in the world who "an tell Just what Russian and .Jap anese ships have been sunk, damaged or captured, what Is his mime? A thrifty person who writes for the nowspnpors says an umbrella will last twice as long if you olj its Joints occa sionally. Oil your umbrella and watch It. The Japanese have no swear words In their language, but their navy has managed to give the Russians a pretty good general Idea of what Gen. Sher man meant. A California horticulturist lias de veloped a new variety of potato which Is of an orange hue. It can never be popular In the laud where the sham rock grows. Secretary Shaw says that tho boy who sticks to the farm shows greai sense ami good Judgment. Secretary Shaw In one! of the boys who refused to stick to the farm. Another feature of the Russian-Japanese war that closely resembles tho struggle In South Africa Is the number of hitherto brilliant military records likely to lie effaced before tho time of voaco arrives. Russia surely Is not as bad as It was. For the llrst time In WH) years a person can now telegraph Information out of the country without having the mes sage Inspected by censors. That's one good thing this war has done. The New York courts have decided that a man who smoked three hundred cigarettes a day cannot bo held guilt less of murder on the plea of Insanity. The courts may be wrong, but a man who smokes three hundred cigarettes a dny ought to go to the electric chair on general principles. What a strange, Incomprehensible thing is the behavior of human beings., and how little even the wisest know of itl One reads of Thermopylae and Unlaklava and tho calm, hopeless forti tude of men on sinking ships until his blood burns and tingles with the tales. Tho next morning tho story of a thea ter lire stares him In the face, and ho lenrns bow, In the twinkling of an eye, gentle-mannered, kindly men and "wom en were changed to maddened cattle, shrieking with fear, trampling each other Into the earth, absolutely sense less, absolutely reckless. Is there any thing stranger, anything more terrify ing than this contrast? It is tho samo human nature which shows in tho ono case and In tho other. Evon tho man who wears tho Victoria Cross on his breast cannot bo sure that In to-morrow's crisis bo may not find himself lighting erazlly with his follows to es cupo some terror which ho has not even stopped to look In tho face. Thero Ilea tho horror tlio thought that each ono of us carries this demon in bis breast, to bo aroused he knows not whero or when. Has psychology any light to throw on the matter? Is there any way in which a man may kill his own wild beast? The only hope lies lu self-study and self-restraint. It takes a body of people to make a panic, al though ono person may start It; and here, as In most affairs of life, tho greater force rules. Tho thing to do, then, Js to mako reason that greater force, Instead of torror. Every indi vidual member of a crowd which may bocomo a panic-stricken mob is under obligation to seo that his contribution, his strength, counts for reason and not for torror; and tho man who falls in such a crisis must forever after count himself n coward and a murderer. The whole country wns horrllled by tho Chicago theater fire. Yot no man knows when tho sceno may bo repeat ed. Tho dangor of panic Is always present, and tho moral of It Is this; Nover for an Instant forget Hint you aro one of tho mob. Never forget thai your notion may turn tho scalo. Ro solvo that como what may, and al though It cost your very life, you will raise no cry and uso no violence; ami pray for strength to keep the resold Hon. When the school divorces Itself frotq tho mother, or when tho mother coasef to work with the school, a dark daj dawns for tho child. Two complalnU have been heard of late years lu regard to education. .Mothers havo been pro testing that lessons should not b brought homo to be learned. "Whn aro schools for?" they havo Irnpatlentlj asked. Teachers havo declared, foi their part, that they cannot take tin place of tho mothers and teach man ners and morals, as well as reading and arithmetic. Roth complaints art Ill-founded. Tho mother and the teach or aro partners, not competitors, In tin great enterprise of making boys and girls Into men and women. Whatevei service can bo rendered by one to tin other should bo done not grudgingly, but eagerly for the good of the Avhoh business Is the advantage of each 01 the partners. "You teach too Timet arithmetic," said a Japanese visitor t in American school. "In Japan wt teach our children manners, then w teach them morals; after that we tenet them arithmetic, for arithmetic with out manners ami morals makes met and women sordid." Whether wo hav too much arithmetic may bo a mnttci i or discussion, nui mere can no n doubt that our children will profit bj more and better manners and morals To that end, the schools and the home) need more to be "mothered." Says at Eastern proverb, speaking with tin Oriental familiarity which Is not Irrev erencc, "When Ood found Ho could not bo everywhere, Ho mnde mothers.' After years of contradictory and con, Hiding decisions by Stjito and United States courts, the Supreme Court o the United States has dually decide the question of the common carrier) liability for damages on account of In Jury or death In cases where tho pas senger Is riding on free transportu Hon. The court, lu the case of tlx heirs of Jay II. Adams, formerly ai attorney at Spokane, Wash., who wai killed by the Northern I'aclllc whlh ho was riding on a pass, holds tha) tho contract which the deceased slguoc" releasing Hie company from llablllt Is a valid one. Justice Brewer declarei that there Is nothing In such a con tract which Is contrary to public pol Icy, and therefore tho common carrioi Is free to contract against liability fo) future negligence. It Is strange thai although this has been a matter of al most constant litigation between rail roads and their patrons, It has novel reached the Supremo Court. The fuel that the tranportatlon may be frei does not of itself affect tho liability 01 tho carrier. Railroads, however, novel fail to require tho passenger's signa turo to a contract written upon tin, pass releasing tho company from al liability. In declaring the legality o) such a contract tho Supremo Court has followed tho English decisions which have been uniform upon tlq subject. Elliott, In his book on rail ways, and the court in the case of tin Indiana railroad vs. Mundy, declare that in this country the majority o cases and the weight of authority ur against tho legality of tho contract Tho American and English Encyclo podia of Law comments at length upor, the great contrarlqty of Judicial opln Ion passed upon the subject, and nls declares that "Tho argument of ilu courts opposed to tho validity of tin contract would seem to bo well nig) unanswerable." The Supremo Court') decision, therefore, may be taken ai In a measure revolutionary as belnj against the weight of authority. 1 Is also Interesting to know that souq States Iowa, for example havt enacted statutes which declare sucl contracts to be illegal and not blndliq upon the ground that the law cannoi permit a railroad to lay down the pub lie character which the law has give It as a passenger carrier and boconn n more private carrier at will. Tin caso of tho Now York Central vs l.ockwood hns been heretofore consld ered ono of the leading cases upon tin subject, and In this the court hold thai behind any contract establishing th( relation of carrier and passengei stands a public policy which even th courts cannot allow the parties t thwart. This public policy referred t hi that requiring railroads to, emploj all possible skill and diligence' In pro vidlug suitable and safo means for tin transportation of passengers. Tho Su promo Court, however, Insists that, tho stipulation should bo viewed li the light of a contract between a pas senger and a private carrier, and thero foro not to bo taken as an exoniptlo of tho rigid responsibility which th( law Imposes upon common carriers, tho service being ono which tho car rlor is not bound to perform. It h held further to bo unfair to compel carrier to present n gift and then pnj for consequences, especially when tin gift has been coupled with a stlpula Hon to tho contrary. Some bawl. children cry, whllo otlien One of the moBt unique pictorial souvonlrs displayed at tho world's fair Is portraiture In butterfly wings, the work of Fred Kcmpol. a Milwau kee artist. Thoro Is ono of 13 ve, tho face and body pointed In pigments while our llrst mother's luxuriant locks aro formed ol boautflully shaded bits of butterfly wings. The body of the serpont Is of the scarlet wings of the milkweed butterfly. In the manipulation tho greatest care is necessary, as tho delicate fabric tears easily.

YORK NEBR -WW BEVEi EWJtrrVlAU SWEAT BATH. ttf mm m . - . wiiiihi I'roimiily Kill n Whlto Iloyi iSntlvcn, However, Kiijoy It. Hoys who make a ftiHs because their parents oblige them to take frcquen iiniiis snonm no guul tliey are not Eaiiilinnii children, living on the kIkiitm of Norton .Sound. In that cob region ui inisKa an me ooys aro obliged to take a sweat bath onco week, and this bath Is no Joke. A tiro of driftwood Is built In tho center of tho floor of tho kashlm tho ono room house, where tho men and boys of tho village pass most of their time and when tho smoke has passed off and the wood Is reduced to red, glowing coals, a cover Is put over tho smokeholo In the roof, and tho place becomes In tensely hot. The hoys then must take off their clothes and sit about the fur naccllke apartment until their skin bo comes as red as tho shell of a boiled lobster and seems on the point of blls terlng. Owing to the Intense heat, the bath ers are obliged to wear respirators to protect their lungs. These respirators aro pads of shavings bound together, concave on tho Inside and convex on the outside, and large enough to cover the mouth, nose and part of tlio cheeks of the wearer. Across the Inside runs ii little wooden bar, which Is' held by the teeth to keep the respirator In place. Tho boys sit thero until they are dripping with perspiration. Then they rush outside Into the Intense cold and roll In the snow. E. W. Nelson, who spent between four and live years in investigating for tho government tho Esquimaux liv ing about nehrlng Strait, says: "On several occasions I saw them go from the sweat bath to holes In the lco on a neighboring stream, and, squatting thero, pour lco water over their backs and .shoulders with a wooden dipper, apparently experiencing the greatest pleasure from the operation." Al though the Esquimau boys seem to withstand such a bath as this all right and seem even to enjoy It, It would, In all probability, kill any white boy who tried It. Detroit Nows-Tribune.

The Jap Surprised Her. Pra volcrs on their llrst trip abroad are likely to place too low an esft. mate on the Intelligence and educa tion oi the lorelgners they see. An American woman was walking with a man iu Tlio Hague, Avhen she saw a Japanese standing in front of a shop, his expressionless face perhaps ap pearing to her as an Illustration of the stolid, illiterate people of the Orient ns she had imagined them. "Oh, see, thoro is a Jap!" she ex claimed. Tho native of tlio far East removed his hat, bowed gracefully and said in perfect. English: "Yes, madam; I am a Jap." Detroit 1'ivo Press. Correct.

The Principal of a High School in u flourishing California city says: For '2 years I worked in the school with only short summer vacations. L formed tho habit of eating rapidly, masticated poorly, which coupled with my sedentary work led to indigestion, liver trouble, lame back and rheuma tism. "Upon consulting physicians somo doped me with drugs, while others pro scribed dieting and sometimes I got temporary relief, other times not. For VJL years I struggled along with this handicap to my work, seldom laid up, but often a burden to myself with lameness and rheumatic pains. "Two years ago I met an old friend, a physician who noticed at onco my out-of-health condition and who pre scribed for me an exclusive diet of Grape-Nuts, milk and fruit. "I followed his instructions and in two months I felt like a new man with no more headaches, rheumatism or liver trouble and from that time to this Crape-Nuts has been my main food for morning and evening meals, am stronger and healthier than 1 have boon for years without a trace of tho old troubles. "Judging from my present vigorous physical and mental state, I tell my people Methuselah may yet have to .take second place among tho old men, for I feel like I will live a great many more years. ' "To all this remarkable change In health I am Indebted to my wise friend and Grape-Nuts and I hope the I'ostum 'Co. will continue to manufacture this life and health giving food for several centuries yet, until I move to a world whero Indigestion is mil jnown."
