The prejudice. against the regular army in this country has long been due in part to the notion that after leaving West Point our gallant lieutenants and captains spend their lives, first in flirting and dancing and, later on, in lobbying at the capital for promotion, and for fat places in the war department, on military boards, or at agreeable army posts. This is mistaken idea, as perusal of Captain Charles King s article in Harpers Magazine for Aprll, en- titled "The Leavenworth School" will show. Infantry and cavalry officers are not through with work after leaving West Point. It is the lot of many of them later to continue their education on larger scale at the Leavenworth School in Kan sas, where they study military tactlcs of all kinds, with regiment of men for their unit That life is not all flirting or danc. ing or posting or lobbying. It is hard work, but beneficial, as we should surely see if the country should get into war
 Meanwhile, it might be just as we'll fol critics and censors of the army to modify thelr remarks about lives of indolence an6 uselessness, as is intimated by the tone O Captain Kings article. There are many excellent illustration, some of them ful pages, scattered through this article, by R F. Zogbaum, and in his best style.

Mr. Henry Reroh, the well,known phil

Mr. Henry Bergh, the we'll known phil 'anthrepist of New York died on the l2th inst. Mi. Bergh was native of New York, where he was born sixty years ago. Ills father was the famous shipbuilder, Chrls- tian Bergh, and his mother belonged to n Connecticut family, and was 8 woman of marked character. MT. Bergh graduated from Columbia college with marked honors. In 1862 he succeeded the late Bayaid lay Tor as secretary of legation at St. Peters burg, Russia. There he was highly re- garded by the Russian court, and on one occasion, when he desired to gofo Cronstadt, the imperial yacht was placed at his dis posal In Russia he saw much cruelty 10 animals, and he boldly commenced sys' tematic interference in their behalf. He would remonstrate with the otferders and roundly threaten them with punishment He there did much toward planting the seed of humanity to dumb animals on the soil of Russia.
 On his return to New York he engaged ] ill private business. Here he became i'm pressed again with the crnelties infiicet on dumb animals and he determined to dt something to abate it. A meeting calico by him WAS attended by few gentlemen Next petition numerousiy signed by prominent citizens was presented to tho New York legislature, and very broad ac for the incorporation of the American So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami malls" was obtained.

ONE PHASE OF HUMAN NATURE.

Q
 Selectman Lewis has been Investigating tue condition of the Norwich "oatsidr po0r," who have been the cipients of town aid, and his inquiry has T, venlcd some interesting facts. According to Cm'ley's Weekly
 In all, forty families have been removed by Mr. LewIs from the outside poor lust Of that nmber the larger share was found to be receiving more than $7 50 weekly income while in several instances families whose income was only SC. 50 week, were cut of from aid because there were minors in the family who were voluntarily idle This act was done to force the idle ones to go to work. Two instances were brought to light in which both husband and wife had been to the town for aid, and further aid will be denied them. The investigat ing officer found one family of eight per. sons whose weekly income was $24 IS, and in addition they were drawing aid from the town. This was the most fragrant case of greed discovered.
 Among the rest of the high priced fami lies was one which was getting town help in addition to it's weekly income of $I4 Not less than 33 per cent. of the families who were cut off from the list, had week | ly income of over S9 In two instances the town found that 1t had been imposed upon by applicants. One lady of sIxty-eight years was boarding in family who recpiv- ed a weekly stipend from the town on her account; yet, being unknown to the se lectmen, she had drawn from them two personal orders, one of $3 aud the other ut $4, for her relief. Her name was lst from tue list until such time as her usual nl. lowance, through the family with which she boarded, should amount to the sums she had drawn on her own orders. Au- other greedy old lady had drawn relief for herself, and then having gone to res de with her daughter, the latter got town aid on her mothers account, too. Two of the families that had applied for help were from Europe and had not been Tn town Il year. They were notified that they musn'I call for more assistance, or they would be sent back to the old country as paupers. 1 In one instance it was found that the ap. plicant had bank account and the person was c Infronted with the fact notified not to call again. The notification was respect. ed. Some of the families were French Ga
 nadians, who it is stated, would call foi aid just as long as they could get it. Witl many persons of that nationality it is | principle never to bury their dead at theil own expense, so it is charged, provided that help can be got from the town fol that purpose. The result has been th, town has paid all such funeral expenses fol the past fifteen years. These residents, |
 may be said in qualification, are creditt
 with asuperlative zeal 10 buil,i up a for tune, to get back to Canada and buy farm
 The foregoing is a transcript of Mir Lewis most important findings, and l must be said that it is entertaining.

Queen Victoria's 8 father was, on one oc- casion, a prohibitionist, having actually endeavored to enforce a Maine law in the third year of the century. It was in th' early part of 1902 that the Duke of Kent became governor of Gibraltar, and, on ar. irving at the fortress, he speedily perceived the moral and physical injury that Was being inflicted alike on the soldiery and populace by the public houses. He or dered the wine licenses to be withdrawn, and flor time the peaceful inhabitants could carry on their business, walk the streets, and repose within their dwellings, at less risk of insult or outrage than be fore; drunkenness disappeared from among the soldiers cleanliness and discipli, were restored while military punishments were reduce d in frequency, the hospitals emptied of their numerous inmates, and the grsve-digger disappointed of his d4lly work" But the liquor merchants of Gih. ralter instigated the unreht oting soldiery to vengeance for the loss of those induI. gences which swallowed up their pay and destroyed their health. Iusubordmatiol broke out on all sides the governor, iu spite of the fact that he was the kings son, was not supported by the local authorities, and, after receiving the grateful acknow Judgements of the civil population, he re turned from post in winch his efforts fol the public good had been unfortunately frustrated.

A BLOODY AFFRAY is often the result of "bad blood" in g family or community, but no where is bad blood more destructive of happi. ness and health than in the human system. When the life current is foul and uggish with impurities, and is slowly distributing its pois ms to every part of the body, the peril to health, and life even, is imminent. Early symptoms are dull and drowsy feelings, severe digestion and general lassitude. Delay in treatment may entai the most serious conse quences.

Tue senate has passed the dependant pension bill, only 19 senators voting in the negative. The provisions of the bill re- auire proof of the fact and Cause of death 1; that the soldier left neither widow nor minor child, and that such parent or par ents are Nithout other means of support than their own manual labor or the con- tributions of others not legally bound for their support. All pensions under this section will run frc m the date of its pas sage, or from the date of such dependence The bill further provides pension at the rate of SIP per month for~all such persons as having served three months i'll the army or navy during the rebellion and being honorably discharged from servic are now or shall hereafter be suffering from mental or physical disability, not the result of their own vicious habits, which totally in capacitates them from the performance of manual labor and who are wi bout other means of support.
 Senator Hawley spoke in favor of the bill. He tulogiz-d d the Grand Army of the Republic as an order that carried out fully tie pcinciples of its motto, "Fraternitv, charity and loyalty" It was not pohtl- cal organization, having among its leading men distinguished democrats. The bill was simply an attempt to give immediate relief to a class of ex-soldters whose condi. tion appealed to every one. It seemed to him that unanimous consent would be giv. en by the people of the whole country to their relief. He believed the bill to be practical, sensible and patriotic. He quoted General Grant as saying the last time he was in Washington, that if he were pres ident again he would sign any reasonable bill to prevent the sutferings of soldier or his family, no matter ~what they arise from, and would not sign bill to give 6 dollar to any able bodied man. He (Haw ley stood upon that. He would vote against any and every amendment to the bill, be lieving that as it came from the committee it was a simple, straightforward measure of immediate relief to real sufferers.

JENKs' DREAM.-Jenks had queer dream the other night. He thought he saw prize fighters ring, and in the middle of it stood a doughty little champion who met and delib- erstely knocked over, one by one, a score or more of big, burly-looking fellows, as they advanced to the attack. Giants as they were in size the valiant pigmy proved more than a match for them. It was SO funny that Jenks woke up laughing. He accounts for the dream by the fact that he had just come to the con- clusion, after trying nearly every big drastic pill on the market, that Pierce's tiny Purga. tive Pellets easily knock out" and beat all the rest hollow!
