4 PECULIAR PEOPLE.
Remnants of slavish Race in the Heart
 of Germany.


 From the Pittsburg Dispatoh.l
 Nearly in the center of Germany, in the province of Brandenburg, few miles south of Berlin, live the remnants of a peculiar people, which, although for fifteen hundred years settled amongst the Prussian population, have preserved their characteristic features, their own language, costumes and hab- its. The stranger who first enters the villages will observe Immediately that they are Slavs; the type is unmisbaka- ble, and if he enters into conversation with an intelligent native of the neigh boring city of Cottbus he will learn their history and will get so interested in it that he will probably spend a few weeks among them and study them thoroughly. That was at least what I have done, when on my last tramp" through Europe ran across them.
 The "Wends," as they are called, ap- peared on the borders of Thuringia in the fourth century. A powerful tribe of Slavish warriors, they withstood the
 
 for a long time, and finally settled in the sixth century between the rivers Spree and Saale.
 To-day they number about fifty thou sand and live in that peculiar district which is called the "Spreewald' tspree foresD Here the river flows through a very low country and forms a network of hundreds of narrow channels, about six yards wide and very shallow This is the home of the Wends and oni the is- lands formed by the channels stand their one-story, straw covered houses. All traffic in these peculiar villages is done in hong, narrow, fat-bottoff1ed boats which the Wend. standing up- right, pushes forward with long stick, and it is an interesting sight to see 9 caravan of these boats, burdened with high loads of hay and managed by strong Wendish girls. glide noiselessly along. In winter everybody uses skates with remarkable skill, and with

----------------------- AN IMPROVEMENT,

The Connections soldiers will drop the pride, pomp and circumstance of g,or- ious camp life and also the drudgsIy thereof to-day, The annual military picnic" has been on the whole shin ing success this year, and will do much to decrease the feeling which has been stirred up by former camps and es- pecially that of last year More hard working and less hard drinking has been done. The efforts to make the camp ''teetotal' have not been entirely successful, but 1t has not been free rum" affair and it has been in the matter of rum great improvement over last years camp. Both officers and men have felt that the people were looking at them and they have con ducted themselves with much propriety and due regard for the opinion of the people, who pay the bills. This is as it should be. It is to be hoped that We have seen the last of such camps as that which disgraced the State last year.

The British Medical Association has recently instituted some Investigations regarding the effect of Iiquor-drinking upon the duration of life, and thinks 1t has found out that 1t tends to prolong it. Of 4,234 cases considered, divided into classes, including moderate, care less and intemperate drinkers, the first lived ixty-three, the second fifty mine, and the third fifty-seven years, while the total abstainers begged out at fifty one. It is pointed out, however, that the abstinence of the latter was prob- ably due in many cases to inf1rm health, or some natural condition of weakness. and that the drinkers were likely to have inherited tough constitutions and greater resisting power, giving them an advantage in the competition, no mat ter what their habits. It is not pre- tended that these statistics are conclu- sive, or that alcohol is a. constant pro- anoter of longevity, a theory rebuked by common experience and observation but rather tends to show that life has 3 power of maintaining itself against in furious forces and accommodating itself in some degree to them.

When Greek meets Greek then comes meets labor union then comes the tug of the great principles which control ficant contest is on between two labor unions in Germany. It is provided by law that every workingman must be a member of a sick club and all the mem bers of each club when i'll must be treat ed by physicians at club rates. The club either makes "a contract for medi- cal attendance with the lowest bidder or fixes the rates and leaves the work to any physician who is willing to ac- cept them. As result the rates are very low and the physicians are in re- bellion. They have formed a trades union of their own called the German Practitioners association and made a rule that the sick-clubs shall not deal with individual physicians, but must make all contracts with representatives of the association and on terms accept able to it.
 If. the doctors stick it is probable they will win. "All that man hath will he give for his life" and a member of a German sick club wouldn't have to be very sick in order to induce him to break a rule of his union requiring him 10 boycott the doctors

M. d'Arsonval has been measuring the electricity discharged by the torpedo fish or electric ray, and finds that in a hsh of medium size, 12 to 15 inches in diameter, 1t amounts to current of ? Ito amperes, with an electromotive power of to IT volts. The electric or gan acts like muscle, giving out eIec- tric instead of mechanical energy. The discharge is alternating, consisting of a series of partial, diminishing dis charges that follow one another at in- tervals of one-hundredth of second. The back of the torpedo acts as the pos itive pole and the belly the negative pole of the electric generator. The or gam emits a sound during the discharge, and when the current is closed becomes heated. A ten-candle incandescent damp was connected with the electric organ of the fish, and on slightly irrit- ating the skin the lamp was at once lighted.

She is regulated 10 sink about fourteen feet, but she can be made to sink to any depth and can be steered by her screw or rudder. The absolute safety of those on board is secured by 8 safety weight of 1 200 kilo- grams fastened under her keel, the un- screwing of which will cause the boat ito rise to the surface of the water like a cork.

 Most of the new materials are either to have the mohair and alpaca simmer or else will be of the crinkled and crepon order Silks will be strictly of the taffeta type, crisp, closely woven, crinkly, the soft and shimmering of the surah, once acknowledged as so artis- tic, being no longer to be tolerated, not even at the most tempting bargain prices.

M. d'Aremberg has startled the French Academy of Medicine by as- serting that the finer brands of spirits and liqueurs contain more poisonous matter. such as furfurol and amylic alcohol, than the cheaper kinds sold at the workmen's wine shops. He inject ed fine old cognac at 12 francs a bottle into rabbits, and found that it killed Hhem all, while the cheap brands did comparatively little harm. The Acad- emy declared that injecting cognac into rabbits was not a proper test, and at once appointed committee to investi- gate the matter

several days. When the fire broke out
she rushed to the front door and found
some men in the front yard. They paid
no attention to her frantic appeals for
assistance in getting out the patients.
The police are working on a theory that
the fire had an incendiary origin. The

Major Ben G. Truman and Harry W.

paper, The Capital. II the first mum Der

ones will be, it will be a capital publica-

journalist as Msjor Truman in the
editorial chair, AMI a rustler like Harry
Patton for manager, how could it be
otherwise? Both these gentlemen are
so widely and favorably known in
the newspaper world that their
very names are the synonym OF success.
A better team for conducting q live
and interesting periodical than Major
Truman and Major Pa tton would be
hard to find. Both have served THE
HERALD in editorial capacities in the
past, and both have achieved renown aa
versatile journalists. Jimmy" Tiernan
is on the staff, which is additional proof
that the new publication will not lack
brains aud energy. Here's hoping the
