What is War !!

1t is something terrible to contem-

to settle great national trouble.
The people have become SO accus

war of late, says the Norfolk Virginian,
that it is beginning to lose some OF its
dread significance. AS rule men who
talk war most are those who know lit
tie of it's horrors, and there are those
who care less about its results, because
they feel perfectly safe from its dan
gers.
War at any time and under any cir
cumstances is to be deplored-it is the
most dreadful enterprise in which ma
lions can engage-and yet we heal

it as if it were a mere past time. 1t II
something which should be avoided, il
possible, and is an affection which ne
man has right to invite. Yet there
are those who say they would like tt

some foreign nation, because as they
say, it would do this country good

This is certainly Chance Which
Should Not be Lost.

We are aware that our people who
suffer from nervous, chronic or long
standing complaints do not have the
same opportunity to be cured as do
the residents of the great cities where
the most eminent physicians and
specialists reside. In other words our
people are debarred from seeking a
cure by the great and skilled ply
sicians owing to the cost of travel to
the large city and the high fees charged
by such physicians.
Here, therefore, is a chance for the
sick of our community which should
not be lost. DIR. Greene of 35 West

W. Talk,

am jealous in defense Of the majesty
and honor Of the nation. 1t is no timid-
ity that prompts these "reminiscences

this age of the world and with our ex-
perience we should remember what war
really is and how unexpectedly it often
comes. The cloud rises and passes. Peo-
pie say "the war scare" is over. Yet
they continue to talk war recklessly at
intervals. Months go by, and perhaps
years. Then suddenly the cloud covers
the heavens, and the tempest bursts.
Every Incorporate word, every rash or
unnecessary defiance, has gone to swell
and surchargo the cloud. 1t is the people,
after all, who make war III every coun-
try-or make it possible. And they
make it not SO much by declaration OF
the congress or the king as by their
careless Or unmeasured utterances IN
times Of peace War is sometimes IN
evitable, but every citizen has re-
sponsibility. not simply individual, but
national, to avoid bringing it ON by
fiery speech when the issue of force may
honorably be prevented by manly SELF

lying Out o Siege.

There died il Paris few years ago
an eccentric individual, one Count Ma
poleon Bertrand, a son Of the companion
of the great Napoleon at st. Helena.
His eccentricity at times drove him to
such extremities that he was often the
subject Of ridicule.
One of his most curious actions was a
practice which he annually observed OF
hiring room in a hotel and going to
bed for three months, having previously
given instructions fer food to be brought
him once day, and that not word
was to be spoken by his servant. Dur
ing the siege of Paris he was lodging at
his hotel.
One day the bread served him was OF
such bad quality that he grew quite
angry, and forced his servant to tell him
the reason, which of course was that
the city was besieged by the Germ9n
army. The count was momentarily
stupefed. He got up, and for some time
wandered about the hotel, saying te

The Can of the Sphinx.

In letter from Cairo to the Euro

published on Friday morning, it was
stated:-"COlonel Ii. E. Raum has con
tinued making excavations at the
Sphinx and has come upon most in,
teresting find. In the head of the
Sphinx there is hole drilled to the
depth of seven feet, aud it has been
pretty generally agreed that this hole
was connected with a cap which must
have crowned the head of the Sphinx,
but which cap has been missing from
time immemorial. Many excavations
have been previously undertaken, but
it has been left for the ex colonel of
engineers from San Francisco to find
the cap. This was come upon at a
depth of fourteen or fifteen feet only
below the surface. 1t measures four
feet three inches in extreme breadth,
and is marked with the three lotus
columns, underneath which is the SER
pent. The cap was found in the Tenn
pie of the Sphinx, between the fore
paws. and is painted red"
An English illustrated paper gives a
drawing of the newly discovered cap,
sayiDg:-"The cap Ebears a carved
design of the three lotos columns, with
a snake beneath them, and measures
four feet three inches in width at the
bottom, and two feet two inches across
the top. The stone is painted red

Citx Built by Insects.

Did Won ever examine one OF those
macmillan little cities known to the COM
mon people as can ant HILL" but to the
student Of nature as "the city OF the
ants?" Their little underground cities
are equally as wonderful as "subter-
ranean London" about which all have
read so much, especially to the one VINO
loves to study natures kinks and lind
"tongues in trees, books in running
brooks. sermons in stones and good IN
everything Such cities are as well
built, comparatively speaking, as are
the cities built by man, and are ar
ranged with an eye to neatness, con-
yenience, durability, etc. The homes
which lie on either side OF the main
streets (tunnels) Of these ant cities are
constructed very artfully. Short corrl-
doris lead from the main tunnel and ter
inmate in the rooms, which arc quite
extensive, when the size of the inhablt-
ANTS is taken into consideration. These
rooms have vaulted roofs, which are
supported here and there, but always IN
regular order, with strong pillars formed
of a mixture of earth and slime, which
is secreted by the ant workmen. Each
room usually has two openings for in
gress OF egress, one connecting With
"street'' and another with ono OF the
numerous side galleries which ramlfy
the ant city in all directions.
The population of these cities differs
in numbers according to the species or
prosperity Of the colony, but is always
composed of three distinct classes, the
males, the females and the neuters.
These neuters are the sexless workers
and occupy the same position in the ant
city that the neuter or worker does IN
the bee family.-St. Louis Republic.
