FIR?T PICTURE BOOK.
The Darin* Idea First Conceived by
Job a an Comtnln*.
Three hundred years ago a German
savant had a wonderful vision. At that
time children were taught to read by
force of arms, so to speak, through
hardships and with bitter tofl on the
part of teacher and of child. It seems
curious that the first real step toward
lightening the labor of children as
they climb the ladder of learning was
the product of the imagination not of
some fond mother or gentlewoman
teacher, but of a bewigged and bed
tied university doctor.
It was Johann Comenius, however,
who first conceived the daring Idea
that children could be taught by the
aid of the memory and the imagina
tion working together, "by means," as
he quaintly expressed^ "of sensuous
Impressions conveyed to the eye, so
that visual objects may be made the
medium of expressing moral lessons to
the young mind and of Impressing
those lessons upon the memory." Id
other words, the good Herr Doctor had
the bright idea that picture books could
be useful to children. Comenius made
his first picture book and called it the
"Orbis Pictus." It contains rude wood
cuts representing objects In the nat
ural world, as trees and animals, with
llttlp lessons about the pictures. It Is
a quaint volume and one that would
cause the average modern child not a
little astonishment were it placed be
fore him.
As truly, however, as that term may
be applied to any other book that has
Since been written, the "Orbis Pictus"
was an epoch making book. It is the
precursor of all children's picture
books, and modern childhood has great
cause to bless the name of Comenius.?

New and Old Wonders.
The seven world wonders of antiquity
were:
The pyramids, Babylon's gardens,
Mausolus' tomb, the temple of Diana
the colossus of Rhodes, Jupiter's statue
by Phidias and the Pharos of Egypt,
or, as some substitute, the palace of
Cyrus.
Thi? seven wonders of the middle
ages were:
The coliseum of Rome, the catacombs
af Alexandria, the great wall of China.
Stonehenge. the leaning tower of Pisa,
the porcelain tower of Nankin and the
mosque of St. Sophia at Constantinople
The seven wonders of tbo new world
are:
Niagara falls, rhp Mammoth cave, j
Old Faithful, the tireless geyser lr
Yellowstone park: the big trees (se
quoia) of California, the Grand canyon
of the Colorado, il.e great fresh water
?nkes and t 'Jre.ii S di lake.
Wichita a Past Track.
The tali; that the track at Wichita*
Kan.. Is far Inferior to the averagi
eastern tracks does not carry much
force with those who remember that in
the fall of 18! Joe Patchen and John
R. Gentry met in a race on it and that
the pair of great stallions went the
fastest race over it paced by them that
season. Joe Patchen was the winner,
and, although he was not the horse he
was two years before, when he made
his record of 2:01%. he paced the
Wichita track in 2:03 and 2:02^. In
only one other race did Patchen beat
2:03 that season, and that was in New
York, where he won a heat In 2:02%.
That performance alone would stamp
the track on which Cresceus went his
great mile as one of unusual excellence.
Cleared for Action.
When the body is cleared for ac

health on the cheeks; the bright

the flesh and muscles; the buoy
ancy of the mind. Try them. At

The Humming Bird. .
One of the prettiest and most in
teresting of birds common to t>he
eye is the humming bird. It is so
very little and dainty and goes about
its work with such an air of author
ity that one loves to watch it as it
flits in and out of the honeysuckles.
One must be very still, for the
?lightest noise frightens it away.
It has very gorgeous coloring.
The upper parts are shining green,
the wings and tail are quite dark,
and the throat i6 a blazing red.
In the winter it goes from south
ern Florida to Central America.
The nest is a very cute structure.
It is made of plant down, then cov
ered over with moss lichens and
small plant fibers and is usually
built in orchard trees or oaks. The
eggs are two in ^number and of a
beautiful pure white.
Its favorite dish is the honey and
small insects which it discovers in
the flowers that it frequents. ? Bos

Russia has contracted with
I Schwab, lately the head of the
Steel trust, to construct for her
the big end of a new navy. Schwab
guarantees that every vessel shall
be 20 per cent more effective than
any vessel of its class now afloat.
The work, of course, will be done
in Russian yards, but the doss
workmen will be Americans.
Quite a substantial tribute to
American skill.
The wheat harvest is likely to
j be a good one this year, and in
view of a heavy foreign demand
we conclude that the farmer will
be right in the swim. Russia is
reported to be on the short side
of breadstuffs and American
wheat will be in greater demand
than for some years past, and in
consequence of this fact it is evi
dent that better prices must fol
low. While Russia and Japan are
fighting in place of raising food
other nations will be rejoicing.
A Good Suggestion.
Mr. C. B. Wain wright of Lemon
City, Fla., has written the manu
facturers that much better re
sults are obtained from the use
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in cases of
pains in the stomach, colic and \
cholera morbus by taking it in wa
ter as hot as can be drank. That
when taken in this way the effect
is double in rapidity. "It seems
to get at the right spot instantly," i
he says. For sale by Hill Bros.
A Parisian Duel.
An extraordinary duel has just
been fou^lu in Paris between two ;
youths named Maltier and l^amort. ,
The arrangement was that Maltier |
was to stand with a drawn sword, ;
while Lamort, 100 yards away an J
armed with a knife, mounted hie
bicycle. At the word tiie latter wai
to ride at liis best speed it his ad
versary. The combat took place in
the i?ue do l.i Convention, and La- |
mort rode at breakneck speed and
succeeded in knocking down his op
ponent, but at the same time fell
himself. The swordsman received
a serious cut on the head from n
pedal, while the cyclist is suiTerinj;
from two severe cuts from tlx
aword.
Care of Lace Curtains.
The too frequent washing of lac*
curtains is one of the mistakes of
housekeepers. An interval of two
or even three years may elapse be
tween the launderings. In the "olf
times" tliev should be pinned on the j
clotheslines on a clear, windy day
and allowed to remain until all the
^dust has been whipped out of them.
Then they may be packed away for
the summer in a pillowcase which
has been dipped in bluing until it
is a perfect indigo. By this means
they will come out in the fall fresh '
and crisp.
How To Ward Off Old Age.
The most successful way of
warding off the approach of old |
age is to maintain a vigorous di-l
gestion. This can be done by eat
ing only food suited to your age
and occupation, and when any dis
order of the stomach appears take
a dose of Chamberlain's Stomach ;
and Liver Tablets to correct it. j
If you have a weak stomach or j
are troubled with indigestion, you j
will find these tablets to be just j
what you need. For sale by Hi1 1 j

A Real Prfnid?nt.
President Roosevelt Is reported to
have said: "I would like to be incident
of the United States for anotflw term*
tut this much I will say, 'I propose to
be president this term.' I would rath
er be all president for three and a half j
years than half president for seven j
and a half years." There Is a well de? j
fined suspicion that Mr. Roosevelt ha?
been president since his elevation to
that office. We are not aware that for j
any brief moment the reins of govern
ment have passed to any one else. And
the American people like for president
a man who Is the president, and they
are going to show their appreciation of
Theodore Roosevelt by making him the
president for four more years after his i
present term expires. ? Springfield

Under the Insurance rules and
regulations in force in this city
every policy has to be approved
by the Stamping Secretary, so it's
impossible to get a policy unless
all the rules and rates are follow
ed out. In other words, every in
surance company charges the
same rates. It is then pimply a
question of which is the best com
pany, as all charge the same
rates. The above companies are
old established insurance compan
ies, pay your losess promptly and
without any quibbling. Sclect
your company, and in choosing
any of the above named com
panies you can make no mistake.
We can insure you in any of the
companies above named. We do
not advertise big companies in
our agency and then write
your policy in a small, unknown
company. If you want insurance
in the big Hartford you can get it
from us. If you burn down or
are damaged by fire you can have
yeur insurant for the asking.
