Effects of Regular Marching.

DIR. Colin, regimental physician in the
French army, has published the results of
his investigations of the effects of regular
marching in disciplined bodies Of soldiers.
The regularity of the step causes indefinite
repetition of a shock OF tho bones and
brain, infinitely mora deleterious than an
irregular walk, and to this regular repeti-
ton OF the shock to the came parts of the
body are due the peculiar aches. pains, and
illnesses of the troops. In a ono days
march, he says, this shock is repeated 40
900 times, and often the strongest men,
who can walk the same distance without
difficulty when not in line, succumb to the
strain in two or three days. DIR. Collins
preventative is a rubber heel in all military
boots. This rubber heel has been tried at
his instance in the French infantry, he
says, md the result has been found to be
of great relief to the soldiers. The experi-
ments with the rubber heel are still in pro-
QreSH.

carried a fire hook up the hill and used
it in pulling down the sides of the burning

and pelted the flames with snow balls. At

NATIVE SHRUBS.-Salem people
hardly realize how many beautiful
native shrubs they have growing
almost at their door, until they are
reminded by visitors from abroad,
all of whom invariably rave over
the beauty and grace of these trees
and flowers. First of all there is
the native dogwood. 1t is not only
handsome tree, but the bloom is
simply gorgeous. The mountain
laurel is equaled by few imported
varieties as clean lawn decorators,
and il is growing scarcer every year.
The "ocean spray' has just been in
all its glory, its bloom being equal
ed only by the wonderful pampas
grass, while it is hardy deciduous
shrub. Last, but not least, is the
Oregon Towering currant which is
an early spring bloomer, and is of
thrifty growth. These four native
plants in particular should be sought
and preserved by all lovers of choice
trees and flowers, especially as they
are growing scarcer from year to
year.

A SILLY STATEMENT.
Cleveland Replies to a Story Hard
ly Worth Noticing.

Boston, July 1S. "A few days
ago w. Black, of Chelsea, wrote
Grover Cleveland, calling his atten-
tion to statement quoted from the
British-American Citizen, to the ef-
feet that when Cleveland became
president he placed Roman Catho-
lie at the head of every division, and
permitted nuns, contrary to the
printed instructions hung in every
building in Washington, to go twice
a month through the buildings and
commanded every clerk to contri-
butte to the support of the Roman
catholic church, and If he or she re-
fused, they had yellow envelope
sent them. Cleveland's reply, print
ed in the British-American Citizen,
this week, reads as follows:
1 am almost ashamed to yield to
your request to deny statement SO
silly and absurd on its face as the
one you send me. However, as this
is the second application 1 have re-
ceived on the same subject, / think
il best to end the matter, SO far as II
is possible, by branding the state
ment, in all its details and in its
spirit and intention, as unqualified
and absolutely false. l know Car
dinal Gibbons and know him to be
good citizen and firstrate American,
and that his kindness of heart and
federation is in striking contrast with
the fierce intolerance and vicious
malignity which disgrace some who
claim to be Protestants. / know a
number of the members of the Cath
Ollie church, who were employed in
the public service during my ad-
ministration, and suppose there
are many still so employed. l
am ashamed of my Presbyterian
ism if these declarations gave
grounds for defense.
