Loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. JLOUP CITY. - - - NEBRASKA. The Ostler Fallacy. Dr. Osier's fatal philosophy regard ing the comparative uselessness of ^en after 40 years of age has been followed by a fearful wave of dis couragement and depression among Chose who have reached middle life •r later without gaining a competence #r achieving anything like material ■access. The extent of the harm which Dr. Osier has done—innocently, I believe—can hardly be estimate!, writes Orison Swett Marden, in Suc eess Magazine. His words have come like a death sentence into thousands ef homes! They have taken away hope and left despair in thousands of aching hearts. “'What is the use of trying," these unfortunates say, 'when one of the greatest authorities In the world has pronounced the ver dict against us?” Gov. Allen, of Ohio, in commenting upon the edict of some cf the railroad companies and other corporations that men over 35 should ■ot be employed, said, ‘‘It Is not how long a man has lived that counts, it Is what’s left in him.” This is the secret of the whole thing. It depends altogether on how much is left in a man as to whether he is old or young, whether his iire3 have burned out or are still alive. What the employer wants is vitality, resourcefulness,' alertness, freshness and openness of mind. It does not matter so muih {about the years. It is rather a ques tion of energy, of reserve power. It is folish to fix an age at which men become comparatively useless. Some . chen are young at Id, others are old at 35. One of the worst delusions that ■ver crept into a middle-aged man s mind is the conviction that he has done his best work, that he is grow ing old and must soon give place to younger men. Do not be discour aged or allow yourself to be influ enced by Dr. Osier’s “fixed ideas,” for he is himself, at 56, a direct contra diction of his own theory. Carnivorous Diet. Is meat going out of fashion? There has been a twofold conclusion in the results of the recent experiments made —that we eat too much meat, and that, generally speaking, we take too much food. The experimenters, led by Prof. Chittenden, of Yale university, #or several months, and in some in stances for more than a year, reductd their meat diet by one-half, and yet maintained as good or better health (than before. The muscular power of the athletes was increased and mental activity undiminished. A banana and a cup of coffee was one bill of fare for breakfast. Strictly scientific experi ments carried on in America, Ger many and France have unanimously resulted in the conclusion that health and strength can be maintained with • much les3 proportion of nitrogenous food than meat eating peoples deem necessary. The distinct teaching of science is that, except the extremely poor, most people eat about twice as much as is needful, and that the su perfluous amount is not merely waste but becomes the fruitful cause of dis ease and suffering. The rice eating Japanese and Chinese practically con firm the scientific doctrine. Occasionally some foreign publica tions assert that there i3 such an un worthy thing as an “American lan guage.” Our slang phrases and our dialect stories worry them no lit tle. So far as dialect is con cerned, remarks, a wise con temporary, we have no advantage over our British brethren. They have .novels written in a jargon which no one not initiated into the mysteries can understand. It is not denied that the United States have contributed many “Americanisms” to the language of John Bull. We are a resourceful people, much given to invention, and if we “/ant a word that is not in the dictionary we do not hestitate to coin one. This may be in very bad taste, but we have a great country and are entitled to make occasional innova tions. Theoretically the promotion of universal peace through me rnsuiu^ of international agreements offers an ideal solution of differences arising between nations. The practical re sults have not been such as to arouse any vast degree of enthusiasm, how ever. At The Hague convention Eng land's objection to the Transvaal be ing given a voice in the deliberations was sustained. The provisions re.at ing to arbitration proved distasteful ■to several of the powers represeuteu ,and it was only on the broader pro posals that the signatures of those present were obtained. Dr. Robert E. Minahan, mayor of Green Bay, Wis., has declared war on the street masher, or "the ahem man,” as he calls that pest. His honor has observed that it is unsafe for an un escorted woman to be about the streets after dark, so he makes this public declaration: "I am going to get rid of the ahem man in Green Bay. They say it can't be done. I do not know positively that the evil can be eradicated. But I know this much—1 am going to give that fellow the best run for his money he ever had.” A man who got among the curb stone brokers in Philadelphia, shut his eyes find prayed for the mob was sent to the asylum. The probate court felt that a man who would shut his eyes jn that crowd was, to say the least, mentally unbalanced. It you are puzzling your brains to think where you are going to get the necessary supply of coal next winter, it may encourage you to know that tne doctors say that great mental ac tivity la conducive to long life. IH THE METROPOLIS CP NEW YORK WERE SHAKEN BY AN EARTHQUAKE. CO FAR VERY FORTUNATE. The Thoroughly Up-to-Date Attrac tions at Coney Island—A Theat rical Bradstreet—The Pub lic Over “Done.” EW YORK.—Every town in Ame.ua has had time ,o se riously conje ture as to what it wou d do with an earth quake—after tne earthquake had done with it. N w York has seemed to be particularly prolific of guesses. On the wno.e the metropolis seems to have decided that skyscrapers are not such a bad thing In an event of an earth shiver. It is figured out that the steel-'rame buildings in San Francisco behaved very well considering. The construc tion companies point out that even a certain substantial vibration would not shake out the stone or brick. A Fuller company expert allows an occila'iou of 20 inches in flat iron building, for ex ample. “But,” he says, “I am figuring on a regular motion. If there w\s rn eccentric jolt I'd rather not be on the top floor. The geologists say that New York, built on solid rock, w-ould be ruined by a much lighter shock than that which devastated San Francisco. The w ter mains would go with a shock even at some miles distant. To be reassuring Fire Chief Croker declares that New York could never ba ravaged as San Francisco was be cause the long narrow city could draw water from both rivers. He advises more fire boats—and more hos\ Meanwhi’e it seems to have occurred to a great many people that New York is one of the luckiest cities in the world. Certainly its history of purely local disasters is very small. Its thr<~e earthquake shocks have been scarcely perceptible. It has had no great fire, no great pes’ilcnce. Everything lrs been prophesied. Nothing has hap pened. If Its wicked are to be pun ished it may he that It is to be by the ordinary course. Disaster as a Show. F course the earth quake is to be turned to account by those ingenrus gentlemen who run that grea'est show on earth— Coney Island. It will displace Mount Pelee Pc m peii—the old rne (there will be a revised vers.on, doubtless) Port Ar thur and other ancient history. Coney Island must be up to c ate. And so the pyrotechnic people are already at work —have been for a week. No one can deny that there is good material, for only a trifling stretch of the imagin ation may find spectacular mater a! in the heterogenous elements of life at the Golden Gate an 1 in the stupendous disaster whidh overtook them. There are to be other remarkable things at Coney Island which will be in full swing in another week. Mov ing pictures are being made from a balloon and these are to be shown on a horizontal sheet which you wi 1 scrutinize from a make-be’ieve bal loon basket at Luna park. In this wy you will seem actually to be m’kPg a balloon voyage over Coney Island and New York. There is to be another thriller much more thrilling than the chutes for you are to go over a real cascade (without rollers) in a real boat. There is an artificial “wave maker” guaranteed to produce surf on the mildest days. Nothing cheers, simulates and excites tne New Yorker like being able to do something in an artificial way. Per haps we are all just grown up chil dren who like “make believe” better than the real thing, the fire eng ns cn the stage better than on the street, 'he surf ma*le by a machine better than the breakers made in the good old way by the ocean itself. I have said no hing about a pro posal to have a daring lady (undoubt edly from France) turn two somer saults in an automobile. The s'ngle somersault is already an old story. Beauty in the “Card Index." big theatrical syn dicate—n o t t h e "great trust” by the way—has in vented a simp’e device that cre ates one of the most entertaining curiosities in New Ycrk. The new de vice takes the place of much more elaborate systems of learning "Who’s who” in chorus girls. It is quite necessary to know ‘ who’s wno” and sometimes in a hurry. Where does she live? Has she a good figure? Can she sing? Has she had experi ence? Is she trustworthy? See if these questions are answered in a big card index just like the card Index of a library. On one side is the portrait of the lady. As to whether or n it she is pretty you may judge for yourself. Turning the card you find a printed form on the back filled in with name and address. You lea--n that h’r fig ure is “fair,” her voice "good,” “very good,” or only “fair" also; that she had a month’s experience in “Happ land”; that she is "reliable,” or that she is not, that she “left after a quar rel with the stage manager,” that she “faints frequently,” that she is ambi tious to be a linger, and so on. I saw one very beautiful face whose history on the back of the card was quite satisfactory I should judge, but one of the agents of the syndicate pointed out a single drawback. It was in the last line. “Will not leave New York.” It Is not thought to be worth while in many instances to train and equip a girl who will not afterward go “on the road.” ' In no casa did the . urd index seem to be flattering. “Good” i3 practically the .imL ot laudation. “Fair” is mu h the average characterization. S ;m • or' the candidates for honor in this the atrical Bradstreets are no Ion er young, cr at least very young. I aw one record which said that the la y’s first work had been done in 1887.

IR GEORGE DAH win, son o' the author of the “Or igin of* Speces,” was the guert of e x - Ambassador Choate whi'e In New York. He is at work on a scien tific book of un questionable im portance, but he would not talk further than to say that he had no opinions about earth quakes—everybody having assumed that he womd have opinions about earthquakes. H. G. \V ells is another reticent Brit ish visitor. Folks wanted to kn w what the author of “The War of the Worlds,” “Anticipations" and th« "Utopia” booK tho.ght about the fu ture of the United States, but Mr Wells will tell later on. This remark at>;e prophet, who has outdone Ju et Verne, is one of the ..everest ta'Vers of all the Englishmen I have met ir New York. Like all Englishmen he die not seem to undes'and why we sh u d 3ay “apartment” when we mean “flat,’ from which I judge that he is taking notice of small things as well as b g things. Mr. Wells will sail for Fng land—he lives at Folkestone—ab ui May 20. The publishers continue to ins’s’ that there are no more “big sales” and you might fancy (here never w 11 b< any more. Forty thousand is now t big sale. Have the "David Harum’ and “Ebpn holden” davs gone for good? When you ask the reason the publishers simply suy the thing w s overdone. I suppose they mean that the public was over “done.” Likewise are the picture dea’ers complaining. No more big prices, they say, except for the pen artists like Giuson—and he is in Italy painting! “Gibson was right,” said an old paint er the other day. “Ha earned his com petence at the thing that pays, and now he is going into deeper art with real comfort.” It is curious that the Gibson picture supplements given away for many weeks by two New York papers h ive been more popular than the colored chromos ever were. Peacocks and Superstition. HE artist must not make any decora tive peacock feath er in introducing this paragraph. I insist upon re specting tradition, even while I am helping to das'roy it, and it is the tradition, of course, that pea cock leathers are unlucky. No one seems to know how it started, but it is well established and has flourished in New York perhaps more vigorously than anywhere else. And now there is rebellion. Fash ion cries for peacock feathers. Pea cock hats are actually in the show windows. People stare as if they re fused to believe their eyes. There has been headshaking on all sides. Noth ing but an earthquake will satisfy the superstitious. According to the alarm ists peacock feathers and calamity go together. I know one man who yesterday said: "If my wife dares to put a pea cock feather in her hat or bring one into the house, I’ll divorce her!” But there is one thing this man didn’t know. To take the curse off the fateful feathers they are dyed. If you stain them nothing happens. And this is the way the matter stands. OWEN LANGDON. PROFIT IN WINDOW POSING Professional Who Can Keep the Same Attitude Almost Two Hours at a Time. Of the many curious ways of mak ing a living not one i3 more unique than that which a St. Louis man has adopted as a profession. He is a win dow poser, and has made such a suc cess of the work that his wife and a seven-year-old daughter as3i3t him. This man began to pose in the win dows of business houses about ten years ago. But his work was com monplace enough and he shared the honors of it with many others. But one night in a dream he saw himself striking attitudes to display wearing apparel before a crowd. The dream impressed him and he began practicing the poses. He found he could hold some of them a long time, and the more he practiced the more expert he became. Finally he went to a clothing store and offered to pose in a window for a certain wage. He drew a crowd. People were perplexed to know wheth er he was a real man or an inanimate model. Th( y tried to make him laugh. They tapped on the window. The boys particularly delighted in experiments to ascertain what the man in the wrindow was like. The man says they did not disconcert him i in the least. He explains his motionless periods by saying that he concentrates his mind upon what he is doing and does not permit it to rove to anything else. He says he has done this sort of thing until his wife and even his little sev en-year-old girl can imitate him and do the trick as well as he can. The “artist” and his wife go to a store at ten o’clock and stay till four in the afternoon. During this time they will assume a number of atti tudes, holding some of them as long as one hour and 40 minutes. -- A Sure Sign. "What makes you sure that this i3 at last the girl you really love?

NO SENTIMENT IN SIGHING Simply Caused by Desire for More Breath, Says a Phy sician. The sigh, which from time imme morial and by all the poets whoever sung has been regarded as a matter of sentiment and connected with the emotions, is declared by physicians to be as purely a physical phenomenon as is the sneeze or cough. A well known doctor of this city, speaking of this the other day, explained that the sigh is nature’s method of making one take a deep breath. When the lungs have been getting insufficient air a sigh is the means by which they are replenished, or when the air has been impure the sigh which one often takes in stepping out into the open air is from the same cause. The doctor admitted that people sometimes sigh from sorrow or other mental ill, but maintained that this is partly because it has been accepted as the expression of grief through ages as long as kissing and handshak ing have been accepted as signs of affection or friendship. Another rea son why a sigh follows a sorrowful thought is that such thoughts are often concentrated and intense enough to cause insufficient breathing. When the lungs suffer for a certain time from this insufficiency, the sigh follows. Sighs are often caused, too, says the same authority, by certain sorts of indigestion. NO LONGER A CURIOSITY. Scientists Are Not Now Regarded as Lions by Captains of Industry. Exit the traditional scientific man with the traditional Yankee of the stage! Prof. Darlow, president of the American Association for the Ad vancement of Science, writes that sci entific leaders now sit with the cap WILL MAKE OBSERVATIONS ON THE TRIP TO THE POLE. Maj. H. B.

The conception of a scientific man as a captain of industry means simply the acknowledgment that science has a practical relation with the world and that fortunately the public has ad vanced far enough to see that pure science sooner of later develops into applied science. The leaders of science are to be placed in the class of organizers, man agers of a sort of scientific trust. This is science to date. While science is organization its basis is the power of investigating. An organizer is of no use until there is something to or ganize. And the materials on which the organizer in science must work , are not made by machinery, but by the brains of individual workers. Harry’s Advantage. Pearl—Helen married?

I uBHO'Hii liiriMHVBfaasta, ELEPHANTS AND DRESS. Animals Chosen to Lead Koyal Pro cessions in India Splendidly Garbed. Elephants are fond of finery and de light to see themselves decked out with gorgeous trappings. The native princes of India are very particular in choos ing their state elephants and will give fabulous sums for an animal that ex actly meets the somewhat fanciful standards they have erected. For these they have made cloths of silk so heavily embroidered with gold that two men are hardly able to lift them. The elephant which usually led the state procession of a rajah being ill, the magnificent trappings were placed on one which had up to that time occupied only a subordinate place. The animal, delighted at its finery, showed its glee by so many little squeaks and kicits of pleasure that gentral attention was attracted to it. Not long after another state proces-' sion was formed, and the previous wearer of the gold cloths, being re stored to health, took its accustomed place and trappings, when the now de graded beast, imagining, perhaps, that he was being defrauded of his promo tion, was with great difficulty restrain ed from attacking the leader of the parade. DEPOPULATING IRELAND. Wholesale Departure of the Peo ple for the United States. The deserted island is the land of Erin.

Course Laid Out from Golden Gate Harbor to the Famous Islands Far Out in the Pacific Ocean. The first trans-Paclfic yacht race on record will take place from the Pacific coast to Honolulu within the next six weeks, probably, unless the recent de struction of San Francisco should de lay the event. It had been planned that the start should be made from the Golden Gate harbor, but conditions which have arisen may change the programme somewhat. The yachting fraternity all along the Pacific coast and in the Hawaiian islands have been in a furor of excitement over the con test, and it is likely that seven or tight yachts will enter as competitors for the beautiful clip offered by the Hawaiian promotion committee. When the ocean race was projected Hawaiians saw a chance for a great sporting victory on the rea and a craft was sought to represent them. There was the La Paloma, which had won race after race at home. But could she stand the stress of 2,100 miles of sea? Her owner thought so, and entered her in the race. Yachtsmen on this side of the con tinent would ridicule the idea of so THE HANDSOME PRIZE CUP. small a craft attempting such a voy age. especially in racing trim. She is a mere pigmy compared with the great Atlantic, which won the ocean race from Sandy Hook to the Lizard last May, and could be carried on the decks of most of the vessels in that contest. But she is a seaworthy little craft and despite her size is worrying Ihe California yachtsmen who are not sure but the honor of winning the lirst yacht race across the Pacific will go to the little boat and her daring owner. Commodore H. H. Sinclair, of the San Francisco Yacht club, was the first to realize the possibilities of the prize going away from the coast and Entered his schooner, Lurline, in the contest. On her are based the hopes ot the California yachtsmen. There is another yacht in the race, however, which those in the east be lieve will prove faster than all the others. She is the An' mone, owned by C. L. Tutts. She will fly the flag of the New York Yacht club. John Murray Mitchell was her former own or. She is an auxiliary with ketch rig, of 88.1G net tons, and 112 feet aver all. Her speed under sail is only moderate, but she is a splendid sea boat. If the usually peaceful Pa cific should get wrathful the Anemone would revel in it. Just now she is working her way up the coast after a long voyage from Sag Harbor, L. I., around Cape Horn. The cup which has been offered as i prize is one of beauty, being shaped after the style of the calabash or na ;ive Hawaiian bowl. It is to be con structed of solid silver and the base sill be of native Hawaiian wood, which resembles mahogany to a cer lain extent. The design on the bowl is very jnique. The harbor of Hawaii is pic :ured here, and the great volcano can be seen in the distance. On the oppo site side will be the picture of the winning yacht, with its name engraved underneath. The cup will cost $500. rhe Hawaiian citizens are endeavor ing to have another cup donatsd for l race from Honolulu immediately fol lowing. On the arrival of the yachts in Hon olulu the owners and guests will be royally entertained. It is proposed to ive the visitors an old-time luau, or Hawaiian feast, and they will be intro ’need to "poi,” the Hawaiian staff of ,!fe— fish, game, pig, bread and fruit— rooked under ground. It will be the rharacter of the ent'rtainment form :rly offered by the kings and queens >f Hawaii to favored visitors. More Ambitious.
