These figures Show that very few men
are killed outright nowadays, and that
the wounded generally recover, where
as in the days Of the sword and lance
men were killed outright or finished off
after the battle was won. In fact, there
would be more slaughter in battle
between the ancient Britons and the
Romans, armed respectively with stone
axes and short swords, than between
two modern armies equipped with mag
az1ne rifles, smokeless powder and pow
erful artillery; the question would be
settled just as satisfactorily and with
less expense, for it costs $1,000 to Stay
a man in modern warfare.

PLEASURE ANDPROFIT COMBINE

THE HERALD had pleasant caller last
Friday in the person OF David Brown, of
Sault Ste Marie. Mich. Mr.. Brown stop

ter property interests in Yakima He is

Contra House and Coffin Bros carriage
store.r. m go Sncopi street. The gentle
man has not been in Yakima for q mum
Der OF years and expressed surprise at the
way the town has grown since his last
visit.
Mr.. Brown is one of party Of nineteen
from Sault Ste Marie, Mich, who are
now at Tacoma on their wav to the fu-
kon, their object being to wash the sand
from the bottom OF that stream for gold.
They have chartered the schooner Louisa
j. Renney, and propose to take in addi-
ton to their outfits all the materials
necessary for the construction of two
boats to be- used on the Yukon, one rs a
transport and the other of the barge ord,
err, will be the house boat on which the
party will live, and on which will be
conducted the mining operations. This
craft will be equipped with two powerful
sand pumps, capable of handling large
amount of river bottom per day, an cleo
tric light plant, and all the cOnveniences
for comfortable living in that far north
land.
The party is made up of representative
men, including one who has served two
terms as mayor, an alderman, a city
comptroller, physician, an Episcopal
clergyman, master mechanic, and all
the artisans necessary for the construction
of the boats and tor carrying on the work.
The equipment is sufficient for a two
years stay.
There are a number of musicians in the
party, who have all the instruments
necessary for the formation OF brass
band, and it ia expected that during the
coming season the novel spectacle of a
steamer sailing up the Yukon with q
brass band in full blast on her deck will
fill with glad surprise the hearts of the
homesick miners along that stream, and
cause them to think they are once more
in civilization.
If one can believe all the accounts of
the richness OF the bottoms of Alaskan
streams, and especially of the Yukon,
this party is on the right track for sure
and speedy wealth. and ought to make
the everlasting fortune of each and every
member before half their supply of pro-
visions is consumed.

to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, l began giving him

Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. lie is now four years old,

President G. Stanley Hall Of Clark
University has been collecting facts
concerning the fears of children. The
fears of children, he says. are gener-
ally created by parents and servants
He found that 1,101 children had g.
456 fears, the leading ones being the
fear Of lightning and thunder, reptiles.
strangers, the dark, death, domestic
animals, disease, wild animals, water,
ghosts, Insects, rats and mice, robbers,
high winds, etc.
A few of these fears are rational. In
New Jersey no children We're found to
be afraid of high winds, but In the
West that fear naturally leads all 9th
ers. At Trenton, however. sixty-twO
children were found who dreaded the
end Of the world, fear created entire
ly by adult teaching. His tabulatioD
shows what education can do in this
respect.
No child was found to be afraid Of
the devil. Two hundred years ago and
less that fear would have led all the
rest. Few were found who were
afraid Of ghosts, a fear that would
have stood high on the list not long
ago. The fear Of robbers and Of wild
animals is n survival, though robbers
have not disappeared as completely as
the wild animals.
Forty-six New Jersey children were
afraid Of being burned alive, a mon
strous thing to inculcate in the child
mind Fear will always be one of the
strongest influences in human life, but
at least It is possible by teaching what
real danger consists Of to eradicate
groundless fears.-ChicaRo Tribune

A Queer New England Betrothal.
Hawthorne found romance on the
shores of old New England, and there
g a good deal of it unmindcd in the
modern life Of the Yankees. The fol-
owing story of love and marriage,
strange as it may seem, is known to the
writer to be true:
Years ago a summer boarder at a
cottage on a point of land which form
ed the protecting arm Of the harbor Of
fishing town in Massachusetts was
shown n girl baby only a few months
Did. He looked at the babe and ad-
mired, then said to the mother:
"Will you give me that babe for my
wifeT
The mother had known the young
man for several summers; she liked
him, and therefore answered prompt
y, Yes"
"WiIl you promise never to tell her
that you have selected me as her hus-
band?"
Yes"
The conditions of the singular be.
trothal were observed. The girl baby
grew up, and summer after summer
the young man courted her. When she
was eighteen he married her, and not
till then did she know that she had
been betrothed to her husband while
In her cradle. Can old romance be
more romantic than this story Of New
England fishing town?-Youth's Com
