THE DECLINE OF WAR.
Pursuit of Property and Wealth the Main

 Cause Thereof.
 The warlike temperament of man has been one of his most prominent eharae- teristics from the earliest times. To live to fight has been the chief aim of most primitive peoples and has been a leading occupation of all civilized ones. Armies have grown in size, weapons have multiplied in number and destruo- tiyeness, battles have grown more and more deadly in action, while also be- coming more merciful in their accom- paniments, but still it is everywhere apparent that, in spite of these aids to carnage, the military spirit is on the decline
 May we not look for the cause of this in the enormously increased cost of war fare and its interference with the pur suit of prosperity and wealth? When the internal losses to a people become greater than those they can gain through conquest and annexation. they will be very leath to enter into great conflict.
 am very far from saying that many other causes, such as ethics and a grow ing spirit of merey, may not have con tributed to this paoification of the na- tions, but is it not true that the cost of war is the chief preventive of war? If so. does it not illustrate the rule that the reactions set up by the vast technical improvement of methods of destruction have reacted on the primitive cause of the destruction-viz, the human wiN- and have lessened the cause by modify ing the heart and brain of man?-Pop- ular Science Monthly.

Famous Words.

One of the greatest physicians in America said to lady patient the other day: "If you can keep your bowels active you will never need my services"
 Constipation is one of the most danger ous complaints. It creates a disordered liver, and then follow sick headaches bill iousness, loss of appetite, etc.
 A physician would first prescribe RamOn's Tonic Liver PHI to open the bowels and clean out all the poisonous bile. He would then give you RamOn's Tonic Pellets for purifying the blood, stimulating the appetite, and strengthening the system. The two medicines would cure you completely and make you feel better than you have felt for years, Ask your drug gist for rRamOn's g Tonic Liver PiIls.

 Washington, Nov. 1S.-The general as- sembly of the Knights of Labor today unanimously passed the following reso- lutions:
 Whereas. The Cubans are at present engaged in a struggle to achieve their independence against the minions of an alien and tyrannical government, and, Whereas, The development of the con test has made 1t obvious that the nations s forces cannot possibly be subdued in any reasonable time, and further continual tion of the present status will only tend to deepen the general misery all over the island of Cuba; and,
 Whereas. We the. citizens of the fore most republic in the world, should at least be willing to see that all men fight ing for the liberty of the land of their nativity and their own deliverance from the bondage of an oppressor, should have a fair and equal chance to meet their opponents in open warfare; there fore, be it
 Resolved, That the general assembly of the Knights of Labor representing every section of the country, and all con ditions of humanity does hereby declare in favor of the recognition of the Cubans as belligerents.
 The constitution was so amended as to exclude gamblers, lawyers, bankers and brokers, as at present and also to ex- clude all employees engaged in the fnanu- fracture of or dealers in intoxicating liquors but permitting each local as sembly to decide for itself whether it will admit barkeepers, walters, etc, engaged temporarily in the work of dispensing liquors. but having no connection with the place where employed as proper.

write about Is hours a day. He was
not Howells or a Bronson Howard,
whose working hours never exceed four
in any one day. He worked, he labor
ed. he toiled. He had no time for a ID
cycle and could not afford a horse. He
hated walking. Run he could not.
Swimming was out of the question.
Still he must have exercise. He kept
his dictionary in the basement and his
theSaurus in the kitchen. As he used
both very often 1t was necessary to
make many trips downstairs and up
again. and in that way ne kept himself
in splendid physical condition. A Wis
itor once saw him dashing downstairs
