MORE ICONOCLASM.
In his chosen field Dr. Woods Hut
chinson Is the boss iconoclast. Scarce
ly a moon passes but the worthy sci
entific medico is out with his liter
ary hammer; and smash goes some
traditioo or other. The latest ex
ploit of this character was achiev
ed through the columns of a recent
issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
Or. Woods attacks and demolishes
the idol of the "good old days"? at
least so far as the fond tradition ap
plies to the physical size, and the
physical, nervous and mental vigor
of American men and women.
We are told, not as a mere dictum,
or fine drawn conclusion based on
doubtful premises, but as a matter
of figure* taken from such sources
as the physical measurements at col
lege gymnasiums, from statistics as
to the size and physical condition of
thousands of schoolchildren: from the
tables of mortality and health of gen
eral record, and from life insurance
records, that the American people
of the preseut day are taller, larger,
heavier and stronger than their fath-J
era and mothers ? to say nothing of;
their grandfathers and grandmothers. |
It is shown further that they are |
longer lived and can do more in a|
given time than their forbears.
Going into the subject in his u6ual
exhaustive style, Dr. Hutchinson
uiakes the pessimist who deplores the
Degeneracy of the race ashamed of
himself. Yet we suppose there are
those who will refuse to move out
of the golden glow of those "good
old days." ? Portland Telegram.
PERSISTENCY WINS.
' One stroke of a bell in a thick
fog does not give any lasting impres
sion of Its location, but when fol
lowed by repeated strokes at regular
Intervals, the densest fog or the
darkest night cannot long conceal its
whereabouts. Likewise a single inser
tion of an advertisement ? as com
pared with regular and systematic
advertising ? is in its effect not un
like a sound which, heard but faintly ?
once, is lost in space and soon for

And the atful visions waken, and tbe
banished loves return.
In the letfon* of the hopes you lost, the
wrecks beyond all number.

my lantern burn and bum.
Follow, follow? you must follow through
the tortured stony courses.
Over height and over hollow where de
light has turned to pain.
la the land 'twlxt sleep and waking, to- !
ward the great dream river's sources.
For tbe prise you cannot gather in ths !
race you know Is vain.
Tou shall see the hopes you cherished tn
their nakedness returning.
Impossible snd futile from the day you
gave them birth.
?ad you still shall follow after, though
you know the dreams are cheating
Which of old you thought were molded
of the finest things of earth.
Be I order? I, the master of the hunt?

WIRELESS ACROSS PACIFIC.
Steamship Minnesota Sent the Hert
zian Waves 3,628 Miles.
The Great Northern steamship Min
nesota, ply iiitr between Seattle and the
orient, was in communication with the
Seattle and Japanese wireless stations
every night during her last trip. She
exchanged messages with the Seattle
statiou of the I'nlted Wireless com
pany until she was 3,628 miles 011 her
way to Yokohama. This establishes a
uew record betweeu ship aud shore.
The distance Is greater than from
Nova Scotia t<> the Irish const, between
which messages are occasionally sent
by means of high powered wireless ap
paratus from towers of great altitude.
To appreciate the significance of the
Minnesota's wlrele s performance It
should be understood that the mes
sages were sent from the ordinary
ship's aerial and that the apparatus
is of only Ave kilowatt power, lustead
of the fifty kilowatt power now used
to transmit messages between the
Nova Scotia aiul Irish coasts.
Blind Man a Murderer.
Supreme Court Justice M In turn of
Paterson. X. J? sentenced William Fas
son, a negro, to thirty years iu the
state prison fop killing Charles Hum
mell, a white man, and ten years for
killing Bob Ferguson, a colored man,
the terms to run separately.
The court had accepted In each case
a plea of non vult to murder iu the
second degree, and the penalty for
killing the svhite man is the limit un
der the law for second degree murder.
Fasson is known as "the devil." Al
though blind, be bad been for a long
time a terror among the negroes. The
night of the double murder ho entered
a saloon on Paterson street, asked for
a drink and when it was refused ]
pulled out two pistols and began firing 1
at random. Ilutcineil was killed In- ,
stantly and Ferguson, who accom- ;
panicd Fasson, fell with a fatal wound. :
The Woes of a Rent Payer.
Warren Foster, a newspaper man of
O/rden, T'tnh. left a letter at his death
asking that bis body tie cremated or
fed to the coyotes. "I have paid rent
all my life," he wrote, "and mean to
quit when I die. In no event am I
to be buried in a cemetery where rent
al Is charged. I want no landlord
calling me up from rest to pay his
rent."
