I am not in the habit of endorsing patent medicines, but when I find remedies possessing true merit, such as the Cuticura Remedies do, I am broad-minded enough to proclaim their virtues to the world.

If this sounds pes simistic, remember the story of the English sparrow. If less money were spent in importing experi ments and more were rationally devoted to adequate pro tection of our native birds, hundreds of thousands of dol lars would be saved to agriculture and horticulture. Out of some thousands of birds native to North Amer ica scarcely a half dozen have proved to be injurious instead of beneficial. The cuckoos, warblers, chickadees and many of our other common birds have proved to be Invaluable as destroyers of gipsy moths. The rose-breast ed grosbeak eats great numbers of the potato beetles, and the scales are attacked most vigorously by the various titmice. The ornithologists declare that even the hated chicken hawk destroys so many snakes, insects, mice and other small predatory animals, and so few chickens compara tively, that it is a benefactor rather than an enemy to the farmer; while the amount of corn the crow destroys is much more than offset by the vast number of insects he consumes. They say that a bird which deserves much more con sideration than it gets, either from the Audubon Society or the law, is the quail, one authority estimating that every quail is worth a dollar to the farmer for each of nine months in the year and 50 cents for each of the other three months, its service being in its consumption of seeds of weeds, injurious insects and worms. Rational protection of our native birds costs little, and it cannot fail to give marked results in the country’s food production.—Cincinnati Post THE “BOSS” AND THE STATESMAN. of two distinct types rise to prominence I Tpk it in public life —the party “boss” and the IIV H statesman. It is seidom that one man com bines in liis own person the characteristics of both, for they spring from different ideals of public duty. The boss devotes himself to bringing about the success of bis party because be desires to profit by the opportunities which accompany victory at the polls. His motto is, “Win; honestly, if possible; but any way, win.” Out of this policy spring all the frauds aud scan dals of political campaigns. The frauds begin in the election of delegates to nom inating conventions. Contesting delegations are sent from districts where the machine is weak, and the packed con vention gives them the seats to which others have been fairly chosen. The other steps in the process are fraud ulent registration to make a majority in a doubtful dis trict, purchase of votes, and dishonest canvass after the polls are closed. Such practices are not general, nor even frequent, but they have been common enough to be responsible for the continuance in power of more than one State boss. With in a few years the ranks of such bosses have been greatly thinned. Some of them have died, others have lost their control of their party. The standard of political morality is perceptibly higher than it was. The other type of man Is Indifferent to political ma chines. He makes his appeal direct to the people. His object is—and the more statesmanlike he is the ritore steadily he pursues that object—to carry out principles and policies, not simply to carry the next election. No mere party manager in American history enjoys a fame to be compared with that of the high-minded Wash ANCIENT CAVE DWELLERS. Strange New Mexican Race Whose History Is a Mystery. While much Is heard of the cliff dwellings of the southwest, it is not generally known that the United States government has assumed super vision of a park which contains indis CLIFF-DWELLINGS AS THEY WERE! IN THEIR PRIME. putable evidence of a race of people that far antedated the cliff dwellers, ancient though the latter were. In Pajarito Park, about twenty miles from Santa Fe, are thousands of cave dwellings, which must have been in habited by a race totally unlike the cliff dwellers or their descendants, the Pueblo Indians. The cliff dwellers built walled houses on the ledges of cliffs, but these cave dwellers simply scooped out holes In the solid rock. Here they must have lived like wild animals. In some of the steepest cliffs will be found row upon row of these caves. The doorway will he from two to five feet thick. Then comes the main room, which Is a circular, oval, or rec tangular hole In the solid rock, from 6 to 20 feet In diameter. The celling Is GRANT COUNTY HERALD, LANCASTER, WISCONSIN. generally not over four feet high. Some times there are small rooms connected with these living rooms. These were probably used for storage, as they will not average over six feet in diameter. Some of the rooms have been rudely plastered, and smoke stains are to be found In them, but little else has been discovered to shed any light on the manner of life of these ancient cave dwellers, who must have lived when the petrified forests were green and when strange monsters roamed the earth. Not even the crude hammers and other implements of the cliff dwell ers could have been theirs, or some such implements would have been found. Scientists Incline to the belief that this metropolis of the cave dwel ers must have been visited by a vol canic downpour of poisonous gas and flame even worse than that of Pelee. In this cataclysm of fire everything but the imperishable cliffs was reduced to ashes, leaving only the caves In the solid rock to tell the story of the oldest Inhabitants of this continent Picto graphs of crudest design have been found on the cliffs.

The vogue of the boss is as short as the gratitude of his followers when he has no more favors to grant. This is a government by parties, and party managers are necessary; but the people seldom forget that the great principles for which their parties stand are of more im portance than the personal fortunes of any individual.— Youth’s Companion. AMERICANS ABROAD. EWSPAPERS are printing the customary N summer stories of crowds of visitors from this country flocking to Europe and over running the hotels and public places. The treasury statistics show that about 150,000 Americans go to Europe every year, and the estimated average expenditure of this army of visitors Is SI,OOO, so that European hotel owners, store keepers, transportation companies and other purveyors to sightseers receive about $150,000,000 annually from the overflowing American poeketbook. The money spent by 150,000 Americans in foreign lands containing 200,000,000 people or more seems like a small matter, relatively, but it cuts a large figure in the balance of trade and In the international banking exchanges. The United States sells annually to foreign countries mer chandise valued at upward of $500,000,000 more than the value of merchandise imported. Here is a huge balance of trade which must be settled in some way. If Europe were required to ship gold in payment for this difference, foreign banks would be In the stress of a financial crisis in a short time. Of course, the Americans who go abroad have no purpose of saving Europe from this condition, but as a matter of fact the $150,000,000 of American money that are spent in Europe every year help to maintain an equilibrium in interna tional exchange, without which there would be a serious derangement of the current of trade among nations.— Kansas City Star. TRAINING FOR MATRIMONY. worthy bishop of Ripon laments that England has no schools for engaged couples. | It is an oversight from which our cwn coun- A 1 try also suffers. There is no end of schools of law and medicine, schools of typewriting and trade, dancing, dramatics, cooking, cor respondence, china painting, wood carving and leather burning by mail. But no benevolent million aire has yet endowed a preparatory school for matrimony. Yes, matrimony is the most important condition of life and should command the most careful preparation. A few primitive prescriptions of boneset tea, sulphur and treacle and flannel and goose oil are passed down from generation to generation, but the truly scientific courses of the lecture room and laboratory still remain to be founded. In France a paternal government after the ceremony, presents bride and bridegroom with an attractive little booklet of advice about family affairs. We have not got that far in England, or this country. But when we come to think of it, there is a school, too, kept by Experi ence, where folks can learn a few things about matrimony as about most other subjects. The bishop of Ripon Is free to Improve upon it If he can, but, for our part we do not believe there is any better instruction to be had any where. And then let us not forget what Dr. Holmes said about training a boy—“ The best time to begin is a hun dred years before he is born.”—Pittsburg Press. shed some light on the people who drew them. Wanted New Lock. “I’ll take the apartment,” said the man, “if you’ll agree to put a new lock cri the front door.” After a good deal of arguing the agent consented. “We have to do that frequently,” h« explained. “Many prospective tenants of houses and flats now demand that new locks be provided before they will sign the lease. They say that this has been made necessary by the failure of old tenants to turn over the keys when moving away. There is no telling Into whose hands these keys may fall. A crook is just as likely to get hold of them as an honest man. Many of the robberies in flats and boarding-houses nowadays are attributed to the careless distribution of keys by old tenants."— Chicago Inter Ocean.
