GOOD HEALTH OF HODoEs.

Tramps Generally in Better Condi-
People.
Prof. John J. McCook of Trinity Col
eye, in recent lecture in New Haven
on "The Pathological Aspect of the
Tramp Problem" gave the following
Interesting facts about the knights of
the road:
"New Jersey was the first state to
pass law Furnishing the professional
tramp, and at the same time to define
what he was. This was in 1876.
Rhode Island was the next. and Con-
necticut came third. A recent writer
asserts that there are about sixty
thousand tramps in the United States.
This number is trife large, although
1t Is safe to say that there are over
forty thousand. This is larger than
the army of Wellington at Waterloo.
We look on tramps as human wrecks
and driftwocd, and yet the majority
Of them are in the prime of life, and
In better than the average health.
Only 81 per cent of the tramps from
whom my statistics We're cleaned
claimed in the dead of winter, while
the grip was raging, that they were
in bad health. They are robust, and
will fill you with envy, malice and all
other jealous feelings when you hear
them snoring at midnight. Eighty
one per cent Of tramps declare that
they took to the road because they
were out of job, and only one man
because machinery took his place.
Over go per cent of the English tramps
are given as taking the road because
Of vagrant habits. The majority of
our tramps are of American birth,
IS per cent Of 1,342 being of American
parentage, and 272 Irish, who came
next. Over 100 outof 1,73S tramps
could read and write. and they all
spend money on the daily newspapers.
Out of 1889, only 10 are married, 81
are widowers, and 81 have children.
Thirty-eight per cent say that they
work for their food, "a per cent beg
1t, and IS per cent that they steal it.
Over 400 sleep at cheap lodging
houses and nearly 300 in police head
quarters. About 100 sleep in boxes"

forerunner Of nervous prostration,
with all the horrible suffering that
term implies. That Tired Feeling and
nervousness are sure Indications of an
impure and impoverished condition Of
the blood. The craving of the system
for help can only be met by purifying
the blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the.
one great blood purifier. It expels all
impurities, gives vitality and strength,
regulates the digestion and makes the
weak strong.
"In the spring I felt very much run
down-no strength or appetite. I began to-,
take Hoods Sarsaparila and my appetite
improved and did not have that tired feel

1t is suit. that the smallest piece of

Mummies Make Good Onion Manure

Mumm1GS Make UoOu ohAoh AuA &c
In view of the fact that Egypt was
once the center of civilization and
learning, whence science radiated to
every corner of the globe. vestiges of
Egyptian lore being found even in
this hemisphere, it is somewhat pain
ful to think that the only item which
the land OF the Pllaraohs now contri-
butes to the world is onions. which
are being shipped in huge quantities
to the United States. And to make
matters worse. we are informed that
the popular "baell." as the Egyptian
onion is called owes its fine flavor as
well as It's size to the fact that the
fields in witch it is grown are fer

enough of his men together to do the
Russians serious harm? Where was his
formerly famous commissariat system?
and why must his men crawl along SO
slowly whom in past years they had as
tonished Europe by their forced
Napoleon himself started the legend
that he was conquered only by the ele-
ments--by the unprecedented winters
cold. But that was mere lie of OK
pediency. Had there been no worse
weather after than before Srnolensk
there is little reason to suppose that
the end of the campaign would have
been much different.
The French army of 1912 was no
longer that of 1893, and still less that
of jena. The troops that crossed into
Russia were motley band, not half of
whom spoke French. Little Portuguese
from the banks of the Tagus, brown
skinned Italians from the Campagna,
broad- belted Bavarians, semi -civiiized
Dalmatians Prussians, Auatrians,
Dutch, Swiss, Wurtembergers, and
SaXons-theso all followed tho fortunes
of the conqueror, not for love of his
name and people, but because he was
successful soldier and gave them
plenty Of plumber and glory. In Mos
COW there had been grand times thiev-
ing from the palaces and temples, and
every man who started for home ON
that Hateful 18th of October, 1912, took
with him every precious ounce that
was possible. There was time when
Napoleon could have forbidden this
dangerous luxury, and insisted that
nothing should cucumber his march
save Indispensable military stores. But
here again we find that Napoleon Of
1872 was not the Nap oeon of 1906.
Those who are familiar with the
alone appreciate the interminable
movement required to pass a single
army corps Of say 30, 600 men, past
given point. In times of parade, on d
broad plain and without baggage, it
goes rapidly enough but on single
road, when men can march only four
abreast, when long trains of ammuni-
tion and provisions have to be added to
the equally tedious train Of artillery,
commander may consider himself for
tunate IL a single army corps can pass
given point On single road between
sunrise and sunset of a winters day.
But the army of Napoleon was dragged
out TO nearly double its needful length
by vehicles of every kind, containing
clocks, ribbons, jewelry, pictures
everything which could tempt the taste
of soldier, from the field marshal
down TO the weakest drumner boy.
Napoleon himself boro the chief plum
der, the cross from the top of the Krem-
lin-as though to prove that he had
conquered the country by desecrating
its capital. To do Napoleon Justice,
he had thought this famous cross to be
Of gold, according to the popular belief
in Russia. But it proved to be nothing
but base metal gaudily gilded for
the purpose of lecoiving those far
away. Nevertheless it was carried
along in the wrelched procession as
part of the booty that should, it was
hoped, make Frame believe that the
campaign had ended in success.
