OR morning contemporary says:
Sometimes an exhaustive foreign war
is as necessary to nation as is the
surgeons scalpel to a patient that has
nursed a tumor until it is sapping his
very life" Our evening contemporary
says: Those who contend that the
United States needs a sharp foreign
war TO straignten out its affairs. or to
clear the atmosphere, just as the sur
geon's scalpel sometimes is needed to
remove an ulcer that otherwise would
poison the whole system, forget TO ex-
plain what particular ulcer there is in
the United states political body that
needs the scalDel in the hands of the
war lord of a foreign nation" And
this the day after Christmas. So little
force have the words: Peace on earth.

q criminal statute universally disre-
garded. The indictment of q WELL
known man for violation of this law
was secured through the efforts of Mr..
Culberson, who prosecuted the case
with more vigor than almost any he
had ever conducted, succeeding in Sc
curing conviction and sentence to the
penitentiary. Then he left town and
no one knew where he had gone until
he and the prisoner, who had been
taken to the penitentiary, returned to-
gether. Mr.. Culberson had gone to the

RAISING in Society Circles.
A very dear friend of mine gives sew
eral dances during the year at intervals
md as she always allows me to expr. IS
my opinions freely, asked her why she
gave them, says the New York Mer-
curry. You have" / said, "only thrcs
daughters, two married, and the la Z
scarcely in her teens; your son only at
tends your dances because you happen
to be his mother. Men come to them
for the sake of the supper, which is al
ways excellent, and for the billiard
room, TO which they manage to find
their way. Not few of them leave their
card with the butler before they go in
order to avoid the conventional visit.
Surely these entertainments are get
ting more farcial every year. Give them
up; replace them by dinner parties and
let me choose whom will take in to
dinner" My hostess gave me one of her
most fascinating smiles and said she
could invite $50 people to dance, but
not to q dinner party. That was prac-
tically all her defense. Meanwhile the
lack of men is becoming so embarrass-
ing that many hostesses send blank
cards of invitation to their intimate
friends, bidding them collect eligible
male dancers. Is not this burlesque
of hospitality? | do not think that q

Cycles and Railroads.

A London correspondent of the Paris
Messenger, in speaking of the usual and
general exodus from that city during
the Whitsuntide holidays, says that the
excursions from the metropolis were al
most wholly.ma on wheels. On Whit
Monday it was impossible to hire or
even buy bike in London. The rail-
ways begin to feel the effect of this form
of transportation, which exceeds the
most extreme anticipations. At the
same time the rush for bicycles was
sort of relief for railway, omnibus and
other vehicle passengers, which the
rapid transit companies, however, did
less enjoy than their fugitive customers.

STRONG OF WING.
Birds Arc Able to lnfiict Quito Serious
injuries Even Upon Man.

Birds Arc Able to lnfiict Quite Serious
injuries Even Upon Man.
There are good many birds whose
strength of wing is sufficient to strike
pretty hard blows, capable of bewider-
ing a man, If several of the birds at
tackled him at once. Some birds depend
on their wings as weapons to be used
in the duels for sweetheaTts.
Forest and Stream tolds some years
ago about an owl whose wing was
broken by a dove it had sought to cap
ture and make a meal of.
A correspondent of the National
Druggist tells of his first surgical case
in the state of Arkansas. A market
hunter on Swan lake, near Shawnee
Village plantation. was hunting at
night with light, when a band OF
swans, bewildered by the fire, came
flying that way. The hunter, who'was
in little pirogue, threw up his arms
to save his head, and the left one was
struck by the wing of bird, and both
the ulna and the radius of his forearm
were broken.
The Sun recently told of Port Jer-
Wis farmer who was knocked from
tree by a fight of wild geese during a
fog, and Forest and Stream has several
times in the past 20 years told about
men who were dazed by birds flying
against their heads, cartridges (rutfed
grouse) being the principal offenders.
