Not the least touching thing In con

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.
