As tie mind of man is so limited in
Its ability to receive and retain , there
must be a continual selection going on
between what to know and what to re
frain from knowing. The wise man
has discovered that of the vast amount
of truths and facts and wonders and
ideas with which the universe is teem
ing , only a small fraction can by any
possibility be his , and his intelligence
has no more important task to perform ,
than that of deciding not only what to
.choose , but what to refuse. Thus ,
wherever there is a wise knowledge ,
there is also a wise and necessary ig
norance.

Mr. Spearman desires to correct the
misapprehension concerning Governor
Boyd. The Governor was not a candi
date for national committceinanon , the
contrary he declined the honor at the
meeting of the Nebraska delegation.
Owing to dissension existing among
Douglas county democrats it was deemed
wise by the delegation , after the Gov
ernor had declined , to choose an out
sider for the position.
Referring to cheap lands and good
crops in Nebraska , the Chicago Times
says : "There is more profit in raising
wheat on land that costs only ten dollars
lars than on that for which the farm
er must pay three times that sum. "
This statement is a perfectly safe one.
It affords no more ground for contro
versy than the famous utterance of
Grover Cleveland "The soil remains
in its place. "

Few people know that there is a
good and a bad way of drinking milk.
Tbe bad-way is that which tkey usually
follow , viz. , to swallow a large quantity
at once. When milk goes into the
stomach it is instantly curdled , and if
it is curdled into one biu mass the
juices of the stomach can work on only
the outside of it. This is the reason
that many people who like milk , and to
whom it should be of the utmost bene
fit , cannot drink it. They say it gives
them indigestion , and they are right.
Let them give it another chance. But
this time they must sip it slowly , not
taking more than a good teaspoonf ul at
one sip , and taking at least four min
utes to finish the glassful. Each lit
tle sip thus becomes curled up by itself
when it passed into the stomach , and
the digestive juices percolate freely
around it and it speedily becomes as
similated. One of the best restoratives
known after excessive fatigue , and one
infinitely preferable to any form of alco
hol , is a glass of hot milk. The heat
seems to lighten it and to deprive it of
much of the sweetness which is so
cloying to some tastes.
Walt Mason gallantly champions the
gentler sex by the following statement
of creditable facts : There are several
reasons why a woman deserves all the
admiration she receives. When politi
cal nominations are being made she
doesn't sit on sidewalk railings and go
i * v * uvirfi nit ; uuiiuuiiic'j OKI ; uv/u ij u ti ij
with hoarse enthusiasm for people she
has never seen and never expects to
see ; she doesn't wear an idiotic cam
paign hat or stand on the corner at
night and sing maudlin campaign songs ;
she doesn't stuff her pockets with vile
cigars for her friends and thus encour
age them to commit arson by lighting
them ; she just attends to her knitting
like the sensible individual she is , for
she knows the government at Washing
ton will still live whether she yells or
not.

dicate that the crop totals this year
will be almost one half larger than has

for this year is $491,740.79.
The disastrous conflict of Wednes
day between workingmen and a Pinkerton -
ton armed force at Homestead , Pa. ,
will emphasize the popular detestation
of that agency in the adjustment of
difficulties between capital and labor.
There is not a word to be said in de-
lense of violent or unlawful measures
in the enforcement of the claims of
labor , but it is the duty of the properly
constituted civil power to deal with
such issues and not abandon its func
tion to irresponsible mercenaries under
private control who are in the market
for the use of any who are interested
in the intimidation of wage-earners.
If you will take pains to remember
the date , on the night of August 5 you
will get such a view of the planet Mars
as you will not have again in fifteen
years. On that night Mars will venture
up within 35 million miles of the earth ,
instead of preserving the usual respect
ful distance of 140 million miles. It
is believed that this disposition on the
part of Mars to be neighborly will be
appreciated by at least 1,000 telescopes
in this country.
Last night Charley Hine's son Ed
met with a most distressing accident ,
which will cost him the loss of his left
eye. He was engaged in loading a re
volver. One of the cartridges required
some force to place it in the chamber.
The boy thoughtlessly struck the cart
ridge with his pocket knife , an explo
sion followed , the ball entering the left
eye , destroying his eyeball and sight
forever.
The sanguinary outbreak between
capital and labor in Pennsylvania will
have a tendency to increase popular
satisfaction in those sections which de
pend upon agricultural as a means of
fosteringlabor and sustaining commerce.

As helpful to the work of practical

which is attractive to the rising genera

at S. M. Cochran & Co.'s.
The chances are good for the aban
donment of work in the steel plant at
Homestead , Pa. , for some time to come.
The officers of the company declare that
the terrible event of Wednesday made
it impossible for the union to control
the labor of that plant in the future , and
the failure of citizens to respond to
calls to protect property indicates that
it will be difficult to keep the iron men
in check should another attempt be
made to man the works. The situation
is so grave that a long period of inaction
seems to be the only possible result.
