The army bill dictated by the German
Emperor was passed by the reichstag
Saturday by small majority. If the
population of the empire does not de-
crease materially from now on as long
as the terms of the new law remain in
force it viii be because of the rigid re-
strictions that will be put upon emigra-
ton. 1t will prove a costly victory for
the despotic government, and very likely
for the entire continent. The logic of
the situation will compel Germany to
fight somebody ere long as matter of
personal defenseit to It's ruler.

1t is stated that the agricultural de-

any apprehension that may be felt that
Chinese or Japanese may be

the statement is supplemented with the
announcement that the undertaking
will be in charge of DR.. Lewis Smith;
but this does not mend matters much

Smith family the past four months

WHERE The CAPITAL Has BEEN.

Blue and Gray gives this information
about the different locations of the ma
tional capital which we think is not gen.
orally known. especially among the
younger portion of our readers.
We are quite sure that if number of
BOYS and girls were asked to name the
different capitals of our country, the
order would be something like this:
Philadelphia, New York and Washing
ton. That is all right as far as it goes,
but the truth is, our country has had Il
good many more capitals than those
named. 1t NAV be said that during the
revolution the British kept things NOV
ing" They would have been very glad
to lay hands on the "rebel" congress;
knowing which, that body took good
care TO keep out of their way. Inasmuch
as wherever congress went it took the
national capital with it, you can readily
understand why the following named
places bore the honor at the dates
named:
Philadelphia, from September 5, 1774,
until December, 1776; Baltimore, from
December 90, 1916, to March 4, 11111;
Philadelphia, from March 4, 1877, to
September, 11.7; Lancaster, Pa, from
September 81. 1177, to. September 80,
1717; York, Pa. from September 80,
1777, to July, 1878; Philadelphia, from
July 2, 1878, to June 80. 1888; Princeton,
n. j., from June 30, 1888, to November
20, 1898; Annapolis, Nd, from Novem-
Der, 1888, to November, 1884: Trenton,
n. j., from November, 1884, to January
1875; New York, from January Il, 1885,
to 1890, when the seat of government
was changed to Philadelphia, where it
remained until 1900, when it was finally
removed to Washington.

towns have figured as the capital of our

throws considerable light on the sub

eight years to continuous investiga-
tions, the results of which may be
briefly summarized rs follows;
All stones found in the human body
contain microbes of peculiar kind.
These microbes are the authors of that
chemical decomposition which results
in calcareous deposits. Our organs,

dition, frequently contain large num-
bers of such parasites. which, however,
