Relating to War.

Lord Palmerston said of tho Sleswick-
Holstein war that nobody understood the
cause of the war but himself, and he was
not sure.
Lieutenant General Schofleld says that
while war today would not result In such
loss of life as heretofore it would be fear
fully destructive to property. Cities and
ships could be blown up at long range,
while the armies were under cover.
Lord Kelvin has been making expert
ments to discover what the effect Of a CON-
slant cannonading of quick firing guns
would be on board the vessel bombarded
and the assailant. He says that at the
end of Is minutes the survivors of both
crews would be reduced to q state of men
tai and physical incapacity on account OF
the terrific noise and conclusions.
1t is of interest to compare the war
methods OF 100 years ago with those of TO-
day in England. Then instead of flying
squadron 80 or 40 men-of-war were put in
commission at once. Necessarily there
were not enough sailors to go around, and
the deficiency was made up by pressing"
men into service. A certain community
would be marked, and on one night as
many as 1000 men would be torn away
from their families, sometimes never to
return, carried to the ships and put to
work. Once In awhile there would be q
largo haul of prize money from the capture
of some ship. The Harmione leads all
records, with "a, 600 for each man of the
crew as n result Of her captures In other
cases the admiral's share would be $780,
600, and the other officers and seamep
shared ccordingly.-Chicago News

story of yesterday afternoons game The
Farmers from Petersburg were not in it,
They were outplayed 1t every point of
the game, which resulted in victory for
the locals.

twirlers, and while both men were hit
freely, DUSTY succeeded in keeping
them so well scattered on him that it
was impossible for the visitors to win:
then the support given Coons by the local
team was OF "A glt-edged nature. while
the visitors played "a very ragged, yellow
ball in both games yesterday. Kahn was
wild in the first inning and three men
went to first on four balls, and. with two
clean hits the locals made four runs
Two more We're added in the third and
one in the fourth. In the fifth, Hill.
Scherer, Cockman and Fleming all

Young Aliens father was q famous

When he was only four years old he

that moment he always had mania

When Allen was fifteen and the ac-

Who Cpn Solve II.

Who Of those who have not heard
this old puzzle before can solve it?
The answer will be given In two or
three days.
A traveller carried a cabbage. nrd
led along wolf and goat until he
came to a river with ferry cross
it.
There, however, he found the ferry
boat so small that it would only hold
himself and the cabbage, or himself
and one Of the animals.
AS long as he was near the goat or
wolf all was well, but if he left them
by themselves for moment the wolf
would eat the goat, or the goat would
eat the cabbage.
He was thus in dilemma, for it
seemed impossible 10 cross the river
without either losing the cabbage or
the goat. How id lie naLase it?
