West Point.

The military academy was founded
not SO much for the purpose Of furnish
ing officers to fill the vacancies in the
regular army as to create kind of re-
serve of officers which the government
would be able to draw upon in case Of
war, says Harper's Magazine. Congress
has not carried out this intention of the
founders for a variety of reasons.
Economy was one, but as the military
academy costs little more per annum
than a full regiment of cavalry this
reason Is not sufficient. Another rea-
son is the jealousy of West Pointers as
a favored class, who in time of war are
selected for high command over the
heads of men lacking military educa-
ton or experience. But these reasons
are supplemented by another and a
stronger one and that is that West
Pointers, as class, have not favored
such an increase in the number of ca
diets graduated as would make it diff
cult to provide all graduates with COM
missions as officers. In this respect
they may be said to have lost sight of
the paramount needs of the country in
their anxiety for the interests of their
associates.
The cadet at West Point has a great
prize in view-a commission. 1t is
stimulus to a tremendous effort. The
instructors at West Point have been
fearful that this stimulus once remov-
ed the standard Of education there
would be lowered, The officers of the
army have not combated this view.
While they prize above all things the
training received at West Point, while
as professional soldiers they see more
clearly than any other class the dan
ger the country runs in having so few
educated officers, they so strongly SYM
pathize with the desire of the under
graduate to obtain a commission that
they have not seen their way to rec
ommending a policy that would possi-
bly, exclude some graduates from the
army. And thus it happens that the
military academy, failing, as it does,
to furnish body of officers of respec-
table size for the emergency of war.
or even an output sufficient for the
army, seems to be conducted not for
the glory of the republic, but for West
Point.

healthy life would seem to be this:
Take care of the nerve centers; to do
this, guard against oyerwork, that is,
correspondence Of nervous force. But
a majority, perhaps, of fairly intelli-
gent people do not know when they are
making the most destructive inroads
upon their vital supply, and such igno-
rance is very hard to reach with the
enlightenment of science. A person OF
weak stomach by eating bit OF pickle
may bring about nervous waste
greater than that caused by days
hard labor. He has made demand
upon a set of disordered nerves, and
they cannot supply the force. 1t is like
beating poor, weak horse because he
cannot draw load. Excuses are what
prevent successes Editors Outlook

The MIX Cnre.

"Lacteopathy" is a new curative
treatment which a Transvaal doctor
has discovered and writes of in The
English Mechanic. Having noted the
facts that milk absorbs poisonous
germs from bucket, he decided that
1t might be possible to turn this germ
absorbing power to a therapeutic ac-
count. He put his ideas to the test, and
now asserts that he has cured persons
OF smallpox, fevers, diphtheria and 9TH
er maladies by simply wrapping them
in milk sheets. The patient is laid on
mattress covered with blankets and
is packed in sheet just large enough
to envelop the body. This sheet has
first been saturated in III pints of
warm milk and is applied without
Wringing. After the pack, which lasts
about an hour, the patient is sponged
with warm water or is put into warm
bath. A case of smallpox was, accord
ing to this lacteopathist, promptly re-
Leved by this treatment. After the
eruption was well out the milk sheet
SO quickly drew the poison from the
skin as to effect immediate GONZALES

The conVicts in the state prison at
Michigan City, Ind, may be put to
raising potatoes and cabbages. Warden
Harley proposes that the state lease
from Chicago men 1000 acres of swamp
land near the prison, on which shall be
cultivated potatoes, celery, and other
vegetables in quantity sufficient to sup
ply all the state benevolent and penal
institutions. Under the new anti-con-
tract labor law the 900 eonvicts will
soon be idle. and the warden believes
the land would afford profitable en-
ployment. He has ascertained that the
land can be leased for the improve
ments the state would have to make
on it.
