have one political campaign In
which a decent man could run
for office without being treated
as though he were a degraded

nominate good men and prob

men decently, though they do
run for office on an opposition

WARS IN THE FUTURE.
An Austrian Officers Forecasts as to
Duration and Mortality.

An interesting book on the statistics
of war has just been written by Capt,
Otto Berndt, of the Austrian head
quarters staff, and published in Vienna.
The great wars of the future accord
ing to the author) will not be between
single states, but between groups of
countries. Enormous numbers of
troops will thus be engaged, and this
will counteract the tendency of modern
arms and explosives to shorten the dur
alton of war; so much so that it is i'm
probable that the wars of the future
will be much shorter than the wars of
the past. Several months, but not
more than a year." is the authors es-
innate of the likely length of war.
The costs of future wars will, of
course, be millards; but, on the other
hand, Capt, Berndt argues that the loss
OF life will be less. In the seven years
war the percentage of those killed was
23; in the wars of Napoleon only 10,
while in the Franco-Prussian war it de-
creased to ~. This continual tendency
to decrease is due to the fact that, al
though so many more shots are fired
than formerly, comparatively fewer hit
their mark. In the wars of the earlier
half of the century one shot in every
140 took effect, but in the Franco-Prus-
sian and later wars only one in 400 or
$50 has reached it's aim.
The loss of life would increase if
soldiers became more daring, but this
is extremely improbable. The havoc
wrought by shrapnel and the modern
cartridges must necessarily make a
much greater impression on the troops
than did the old-fashioned cannon balls
and bullets, and in the future there will
not be the same clouds of smoke to
hide the horrors of the battlefield The
soldiers nerves will thus be tried to a
much greater extent, and martial valor
is likely to diminish rather than to in
crease. This will tend to produce de-
crease of the number killed.
Various other interesting points are
touched upon by Capt. Berndt, whose
conclusions are in many cases contrary
to those generally ccepted,-Vienna

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
80 that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best /?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgement on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlan's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs,
colds. and Group there is nothing equal
to Chamberlain Cough Remedy. For
sale at Janeck Bros Drug Store.

pipe, or ii may be formed Of iron in the
shape of half pipe, with fianges riv-
eted to the main pipe.
If single one of the larger boilers
were used, as it might be when the ship
is in port it might be connected with
the donkey stack, but in their regular
and common arrangement and use the
uptakes of all these boilers run into
the great chimney, whose whole inte-
rior is open, except for the braces rum
ming across it to strengthen and sup
port it.
The chimneys of all large steamships,
however, and of many other steam yes
sells as well, are built double, with an in
ner and an outer shell. with a space be-
tween varying according to the size
of the vessel; it may be from five to
ten inches. The primary purpose of this
chamber around the smokestack is to
afford ventilation for the engine room
and the stoke hole. In at least one
modern passenger ship ventilating
pipes from the passenger quarters
have been carried to these chambers.
incidentally the space between the
shells helps to keep the stack slightly,
for thus constructed. the chimney is
cooler on the outside than il would
otherwise be. and so it holds paint the
better.--N. Y. Sun.

Some Details of Interest Regarding
Its Construction and Use.

The stroller along the wharNes who
should see rising from the smokestack
of big steamer a small, and at the
start perfectly defined. column of
smoke, which seemed TO come from a
small smokepipe within the big one,
might wonder if the great smokestack
was filed with smaller stacks, one for
each boiler. AS matter of fact il is
not so filled; but there is within it one
smaller smokepipc, called the donkey
stack. which is the. chimney for the
boiler of the donkey engine. which IS
used when the vessel is in port in hoist
ing cargo in and out. 1t is from this
pipe that the small column of smoke
is seen TO issue.
The donkey stack is placed some
times against the forward inner side
