The CONSUMPTION.

Nothing shows more clearly the eX-
cessive weight of the military burden
than the efforts made by young men,
of the industrial classes, to escape this
enforced service. In Germany, among
race proverbially attached to the Fa-
therland, it is we'll known that large
numbers are leaving their country in
order to be freed from this terrible OPP
preston. Young men, with strong
family ties, just arriving at an age
when they could render valuable as
sistancc to their parents, really want
ed at home, must, if they stay, be
siezcd upon by the conscription, and
the only way of escape is emigration
to land yet free from this system.
But to many this means of escape is
impossible, and various are the shifts
to which they will resort in order to
secure exemption. It is fact, that in
parts of France, when the time for en-
rollment draws near, young men will
Systematically starve themselves, and
weaken their constitutions by violent
and prolonged exercises, as in running
long distances, on insufficient diet, in
order to reduce their condition that the
doctor may, ON examination, pro-
nounce them unfit for service; and
happy is he whose narrow chest makes
him below the required standard he
will keep himself as thin as possible
lest he should reach the dreaded meas
ure.
Many will even go farther than this.
MI. Whimpcr, The Alpine traveller,
in speaking of the defomity of the
throat known as "goitre," which is so
common in the valley of Aosta, tells
us that, while in England these fright
full appcndagcs are concealed as much
us possible by any thus afflicted, Gin
the Alps it is quite the reverse. In
France, Italy and Switzerland, it is q
positive advantage to be goitred, us it
secures exemption from military SER
vice. \ goitre is thing to be priced,
exhibited, preserved-it is worth 50
much hard cash" He relates that
when Savoy was annexed to France,
the authorities, taking stock of the re-
sources of the wide area, soon discov-
cred that the conscripts would be few
and believing that the goitres were
produced by drinking bad water, they
cleansed the Villages, analysed the
waters in order to point out what
should be avoided, and gave iodine
, Iozengcs to the school children, by
which means the condition of large
number was improved, and the cures
would have been more numerous il
the parents chad not opposed the care
of the government, IN order to lrcscrUt
. the 1,rivilcgc of exemption from mil
5 Hu1y Scrricc.n DR.. Mottard mentions
a goitre well, at which five young mer

She That Suffers.

You can hardly realize the horrors Of
war unless you have lived in q country
like France, and have heard and
known the village tales; the patient
wretchedness of its women, its desolate
homes, and its sons cast useless to the
ground like fruit torn untimely off
the parent tree. You see happy
home with farm all prospers !; the
fine young son Is content to labour and
get in the crops, and is the delight OF
his mother, widow. The time comes
when he must be drawn for the arpy,
and he goes. The farm falls to pieces !;
the mother cannot work it alone. The.
son becomes reckless; he is only now
number Sc - he tries to drown
thought in city and gets dissipated,
and the change of life throws him
into rapid decline. He gets leave.
The mother. hearing noise at her
gate, looks up and sees the ghost of her
son-she thinks; but no, tits he! come
home to die in her arms. ' '.s1
I'knew this woman. She lived one
room at my side-lived on the pence
neighbors gave. While I was there I
gave her so much a week, in pity. She
goes out only to chapel, and often
murmurs, "Ah once I had my home,
my farm, my beautiful but la
g.ere, la gue,Te took all from me ah !
when will the good God stop war? ?"
This is but one; yet as straw can
show the force river runs with, 80
this shows the desplation in French.
homes under, may be, asunny surface.
1 am astonished at the progress made
lately by the Peace Society. Reflect
on all the wonderful strides which
haye been made in the last 80 years to
pave the way for brotherhood and
Peace; all the communications opened
up; all the inventions to bring men
together. Was it not 80 years ago
Florence Nightingale arose? l look
upon her as the first herald of Peace,
for Peace yersus War. She rose up as an
angel of light in the scenes of carnage,
and showed the world better things.
We guess not in closed bud the beauty
of q full blown flower; so when Flor
ence Nightingale went forth, who
dreamed of "to-day" with all the earth
full of war notices? Yet so God works.
Peace does not come in a day, but the
utter absurdity of "war" now strikes
our higher civilization. God calls us
to work and suffer for all that is worth
having so you work for Peace and
the reign of women comes. 1t is she
who has suffered most.-Letter from
an Irish Lady.

woman as welD is born for any special
line of work-for potters as well as
poets are born--he is very apt, If not
altogether so, to reach and work out
his life work. however adverse circum-
stances may be, and he will neither
ask nor accept anybody's charity to
help him along. There are scores of
young men evry year, who are the recip-
tents of charity in one way or another
in being educated for the ministry,
or for mission work, or for teaching
who are good enough in their way,
but who would unquestionably serve
their generation better if forced TO
paddle their own canoes. Then pos
IDLY, they might become good car
penters blacksmiths, orstone-masons.
One reason why really able and large
minded men hold themselves aloof
from public affairs is because iof the
mediocrity they find in high places
the constant up-pushing Of men who
, have neither merit nor modesty, but
who have wonderful capacity and en-
durance for wriggling themselves
through the chinkS of society into
places of notoriety, if not of power.
/ think the tendency of the time
is toward over education, to too much
mental restriction and direction in
fixed lines. Nowhere is this more ap-
parent than in the work of our So
called "poets." Spontaneity, natural
ness of feeling as we'll as of expression
are sacrificed to certain fixtures OF
form and style, when one touch OF
honest out-spokcn nature is worth 4
ton of what goes as 'polished versc"-
mere words with no heart throbbing
through them. l neither aim MOI
wish to discourage college training. l
think about the best thing to be said ot
it is that it often endows pupil with
associations that are of lifelong value

gard it us the doorway TO success in
life, and that every one who hopes tC
make his mark in the world must en-.
ter in thercat. The college does not
make the man, and the education that
comes from experience in the world is
in nine cases out of ten more valuable
to the average man than that a college
could give him. There is such q thing
as paying too dear for the whistle, an(
before spending four years in college il
is worth ones while to count the cos
and the probable outcome. So far q:
the refinement and elevation of society
-. through higher education are concern
T. ed, there is undoubtedly more to b'
gained by bestowin% it upon Womcl

Hon. Frederick =. Stanton OH War
and Peace.

While human ingenuity is continu-
ally improving the engines of war,
and making them ever more fright
fully destructive, the sentiment of alb
horencc at the bloody purposes Of these
contrivances is growing immensely
everywhere. The brutal tendencies
of men applying the physical forces
of nature to the aid of their worst pas
sions, have nearly achieved the result
of making war absolutely fatal and de-
structive by the hellish ingenuity of
its instruments; while, on the other
hand, the moral and spiritual princi-
pies Of the gospel Of Peace have pro-
duced an ever-eXtending and almost
universal conviction of the utter use
lessness and wickednCss of all the
bloody achievements of conflicting
armies.
1t is easy to foresee what will be the
inevitable issue of this conflict be-
tween brutal force and moral ideas.
The former will annihilate itself by
the very perfection of its deadly de-
vices, like that venomous reptile
which, in mortal extremity, stings
itself to death; the latter will grow
and increase until all nations shall ap-
preciate the blessings of peace, and
men shall learn war no more.

Learn 10 be Exact.

A model wife and mother whom we
know used to say that of all common
phrases, she disliked most the one
which declared half done work to be
'tnear enough" 1t is, she declared,
the gospel of the shiftless, and stren-
uously did she teach and practice that
nothing was ever "near enough" right
that could be made better. A writer
in the n. Y. Evening Post deplores
a kindred lack in woman's training
the lack of eXactness. She says:
"One of the greatest difficulties had
when beginning to keep house was the
impossibility of getting definite direc-
tions. How often an earnest, almost
desparing question was met with this
reply, oh, about-this-you must use
your own Judgment? How seldom
in the country, at least, can a dress
maker be found whom you may rea-
sonably hope will make both sides of
your dress waist alike and both sleeves
of the same length.
In every department in life we meet
with it, and are annoyed by it. How
many notifications would a woman
be spared did she but cultivate the
habit of seeing what she looks at; L
known women of more than ordinary
intelligence in certain directions who
when lamp chimneys were held in
place by screw, very simple ar
rangement, never even attempted to
put chimney on the lamp. If think
ing without words were possible, I
should say they thought-without
words-that it was something quite
beyond them, and they always took
lamp and chimney to some male mem
ber of the household to be adjusted.
1t is often said that the excess OF
imagination, upon which some women
seem to pride themselves, accounts for
the tendency to inaccuracy. For my
part, am ashamed of it, if it. is this
which so often causes wife and mother
to be looked upon even by. those who
love her as al amiable sort of incapable,
whom they are fond of without being
able to respect much. There is terri
bic mistake somewhere in the educa-
ton of women, both ut home and i'll
school. We are not taught that one
of the most important things i'll the
world to us is the ability to observe
with.something like accuracy.
1t strikes me that about the poorest
preparation girl can have for the
