An ounce of revision Is hotter Until n pound of heresy trluls. The nillllonnlru who Is compelled to eubslHt on crnckcra nnd milk fliut.4 It cuhj' to bolluvo that poor people eat too much meat. Tho germ of rheuinntlBin lins been found, nnd n good mnny peoplo will hope that It may bo quickly hit on tho head with n club. Tho Hoston company that started out a whllo ago to pay premiums on births has discovered that tho raco sulcldo caro was wholly unfounded. Another "set rich quick" concern has como to grief. Hut tho victims need not bo discouraged. Others will bo organ ized for their express benellt. Whllo attempting to lift a stovo the other doy, n man dropped dead, nnd It Is safo to say that every married man Who heard about It told his wife. It has been said that tho drum was tho flrtU musical Instrument In use, but how any ono discovered that It Is a musical Instrument Is still n mystery. Standard Oil has established n pub licity olllco ituil hung out a sign, "He jwrters Welcome; Wuik In." This may bo described ns another sign of the times. "I adinlro the spirit that never gives tip," remarked John I). Rockefeller, Jr., to his IUIilo class. And Hussell Hugo Is now sorry that ho lot tho coun try catch him at It. John I). Rockefeller's physician has recommended hall playing as n euro for the oil magnate's physical troubles. Ida Tnrbell will probably concede at once that John I), ought to lie able to mnko n great record as n basestealer. A Norwegian scientist has discovered that moss, when properly cleaned, makes a delightful nnd nutritious food. Two cents' worth of It will make a meal, and tho scientist thinks It la destined to become the popular food of tho musses. I-oolc out for the moss trust. In a recent affair of honor over In Franco ono of tho duelists shot n hole In n fence, while tho otlu-r tore up sev eral Inches of sod. Tho gentlemen then hook hands nnd were friends again. Tho French duel Is a glorious Institu tion, mid It Is a pity that It Is occa vlomilly marred by an accident. Not the least touching thing In con nection with tho Kau Francisco calam ity Is the character of many of tho con tributors to tho relief fund. Homo very large contributions have been re corded, and some as small as live cents. As ono reads the lists lu tho dally pit- Iters, ho lluds waiters and bell-boys In he hotelH, street-car conductors and motor-men, olllce boys, shop-girls, nnd many others whoso earnings are small and whoho needs usually are great. It Is such givers us these who show how widespread Is the vy input liy ami how universal Is tho generosity of the coun try toward the capital of tho Western coast. Tho last great chunk of tho rock of man's prerogatives that has fallen In to tho Kwli't stream of woman's pro gross Is tho "obey" In the marriage ser vice. Of course, for a long time this tiuiplo word has been it mero meaning les form cooed without sincerity by tho lips of countless brides, hut man, lu his egotism, has hold on to It as a slender thread of connection with the uteruer days. Hut, nfter all, who cares n rap whether tho word "obey" Is lu tho marriage service or not? Certainly no one ever took It seriously nnd, anyway, It Is no time to weigh mero words when one Is stumbling along In the dark after it minister who himself Is only pinch ing detached sentences out of a book. "Olympic games," In which the win ners are youths from America, Aus tralia and Canada look llko a very new thing, but thero Is really nothing new nlHHtt tho success of the outlying dis tricts In these classic contests. It was Quito a common thing In the ancient day for athletes from the outlying Hel lenic states ami the colonies to tako the prizes, and the conditions that made victories for greater Greece In those days are precisely the same as those which win the laurels for Shell dan, Shcrrlng and Asty today. That Is to say, It Is the pioneer who has lu him tho spirit of tho champion and tho tradition of overcoming. It Is tho "new country" that gives the hope, the eager ness, the elasticity that makes great athletes. That very large element of tho popu lation which bentows more serious thought uiKn tho condition of Its stent Ml than It does upon the state of Its mind would dp well, for n change, to wallow and digest this bit of good ail vice from Or, Frank M. 8. Hillings, pro fessor of medicine In Hush Medical Iu- I sUtuto. "Eat slowly," he says. "Mas ticate thoroughly. Eat no more than you can enjoy. And do not becomo'a crunk about any kind of food." ir ur. Hillings had been asked, "What clso would you ndvlso ono to do who does not feel very well before eating and j who feels worso ufterward," ho would probably have replied: "Forget your-- Hulf on rising lit tho morning, keep It tip through tho day, and forget yourself harder than over when you llo down at night." For every advanced medical scientist knows lu theso days that Indi gestion Is a state out of which ono can think one's self, If ono will only learn l how to think healthy thoughts. How- over, asldo from this, It must bo ap parent to tho observant: that It Is the person who Is most careful about his diet who llnds It necessary constantly to bo tho most careful, whllo It Is tho person who Is most careless who finds It unnecessary to care. Tho man who sits down at tho restaurant tahlo and orders a baby food dinner Is tho man who has been suffering from all the pangs of dyspepsia alnco ho nto a baby food breakfast, whereas tho man who sits down and tells tho waiter to bring along anything ho has got Is tho man who had sausage, ham and eggs, griddle cakes, and two cups of coffee In tho morning, nnd who expects to wind up In the evening with a New England boiled dinner. Thero Is, of course, n happy medium. And It lies lomewhoro between tho man who nibbles his food llko a rabbit and the man who goes at It like' a much largor animal, the name of which It Is unnecessary to mention hero. Aftcr the Invention of lightning rods for tho protection of buildings there censed to bo much expression of dif ference of opinion about them even if dlffcrcnco existed. It was admitted that caro and knowledgo must bo used lu applying thorn, otherwise they might add to Jnstead of wnrd off tho danger. Hut tho public mind seemed to settlo down Into acquiescence In tho substan tial cfllcacy of tho safeguard. During n long term of years few buildings ot any considerable valttu were left with out Homo such device. .Several years ago thore was a reaction lu the fashion and builders began to apply tho cost ot supposed protection against lightning to other punwses. The decline of the fash ion began In largo cities nnd wiu helped along by occasional failures of soma conductors when used. It has gone on until tho weight of fashion Is now hack to what It was boforo Franklin and his kite and door key opened a new era lu civilization. Thoso who hnvo fallen out of tho fashion are, us a rule, not very positive either way, rather explaining that the theory of artificial protection Is at least an open question. At nil events the lightning rod of a generation ago him "gone out" as a general fashion, ami It Is noticeable that the decline ot tho fashion was far more sudden than Its growth. For n decade or two men who build houses have apparently tried to forgot that lightning ever Injures them. No doubt tho Increasing use ot steel lu building lu large cities had had Influence on the fnshlon, yet It Is hard to see why. If there was a ImaMs for the fashion at all tho uso of tho steel skeleton should mnko occasion only for difference of application. It could not affect tho principle. Quito lately there havo come some Indications of turning again toward the fashion of protection. In this country It hits been pointed out that whllo the steel skeleton skyscrap ers lu cities, though often higher than tho moro modest church spires, have been nearly always exempt from elec trical Injury, and nt tho snmo tlino there has been n surprising number ot unprotected city church spires, not ot sleel construction, that have suffered by lightning. In England It would seem that though aware of tho declluo In tho fashion they have not yielded to It nnd some of tho most Influential publica tions nro HupiKirtlug tho uso of con ductors quite as a mutter of 'course. They know that there Is skepticism, but they tlo not regard protection from lightning by means of conductors as uny more nn open question than Is pro tection from smallpox by means of vac cination. One of tho leading London dallies points out tlmt the great cathe drals and nil tho old churches with tall spires have been bo protected slneo the theory of protection was first con sidered tenable and alnco so protected no ono has been damaged, whllo some hryl been Injured before. It Instances especially Westminster Abbey and St. raul's, both of which nro so protected and lnvo wholly escaped Injury, nor has anything within the areas sur rounding them which aro theoretically Included In their protection ever suf fered any Injury. A UNIQUE STREET RAILWAY, The apparently luiKsslblo situation herewith depleted U nu actual occur renew nt Denver, Colo. A -street car drawn by a single horse makes regular trips to the top rft a high hill lit the vi cinity of the city, from which n flue view of the surrounding country Is ob tained. The horse pulls the car to tho summit, but he Is not needed lu tho de scent. So ho Is trained to stand on the platform ot the car until the bottom Is reached.
