THE SOLDIER.

In commenting upon the proposal
to give dinner to the New York reg
iment a few of the citizens have sug-
gested that the conduct of the regi-
ment has not made it appear well in
the eyes of the community. Now this
seems to The Star the very narrowest
of criticism. 1t is to condemn the
whole body of men for the action of
a few.
Can any one expect that out of
thousand men or so all should be an
gels? In the first place there is bound
to be percentage who are of vicious
tendencies. These tendencies may
not be upon the surface, but they are
there and come forth when opportu-
nifty serves. Then there must be
percentage which is inherently weak,
and when the restraints of home and
home surroundings are removed, these
are easily led astray by stronger
minds, and commit acts which they
would blush to do among their own
people and among those who knew
them.
The fact of being away from home,
and being a military force in what to
many appears foreign country I'M
der military occupation, is response
BILE for what rowdyism has occurred.
Living out at the camp, coming sell
dom into town, and seeing nothing
but the inside of saloon or so, is not
calculated to be of a very elevating
tendency nor to teach such weak
minds what the town they are quar-
tered in really is, viz: That it is as
cultured and as elevated as many of
those towns on the mainland from
which they have come.
But what has been spoken of above
is mere percentage. We hear of the
evil, we do not hear of the good. Just
as gossips delight to contemplate the
flaws in a character and ignore all the
many good points in it, and the many
acts of charity and kindness done by
the person discussed. Among the
men of the regiment the large proper
tion is thoroughly well behaved and
manly, neither vicious nor weak, a

The remarks of Judge Wilcox upon

The question of lavatories at the
wharves brings up the suggestion that
there should be lavatories about the
city itself. The government, it is pos
sible. might claim that there is no
appropriation for the purpose. To
most peoples minds these would be
distinctly street improvements and
might be paid for out of that appro-
priation. If the Minister of Interior
will give his mind to the matter, The
Star feels that he can find the money.
1t is a necessary reform.

WAMPOLE'S
PREPARATION,

Of the nutritive properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil. extracted by lis from
fresh cod livers, combined with Syrup
Of Hypophosphites, Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry Bark, has saved
many such girls. 1t contains all
the flesh forming and strengthening
qualities Of the oil without its loath-
some taste. The most sensitire and
feeble can take it, as they take syrup,
and digest it perfectly. Taken before
meals it creates an appetite, stops the
emaciating process, puts flesh on the
thin an boly body, and ruddy cheeks
soon tell the story of pure blood, good
dige ton and rec .vered health. Girls
and women gain weight AMI vigor by
the use Of it. To give it trial is to
believe in it always thereafter. 1t is
food and meiicine combined. Genu-
inc only gives results from the first
dose. Sold by all chemists.

HER MOTHERS GIRL.

A bright, handsome girl on the
borderland between childhood and
womanhood, is at once a source Of
pride and anxiety to her mother.
But she has grown fast and is still
growing. Nature makes stern de-
mands upon the slender body. The
skin is dull, the eyes lustreless, the
cheeks and neck are sunken, the APP
petite is capricious, and the move
ments languid. The trouble is i'm
purity and sluggishness Of the blood.
Itneeds the life giving elements from
which alone the body derives its vigor
and health. The remedy is

MISS GRAPER's CONCERT.

MISS GRAPER'S CONCERT.
The annual Academy concert Mon.
day night, by Miss Graper's music
class, was attended by a refined
and cultivated audience and a very
good sized one, withal. The purpose
of these concerts is double one
to show the progress made and the
musical ability Of the pupils, and to
entertain their auditors as well-and
this one was pronounced a success
from both standpointS. EXacting as
is their teacher, it is but fair to the
pupils TO say that not one of them dis
appointed her in their performance on
this occasion, and those who know
Miss Graper know that if she was
satisfied with their work it could not
but have delighted the patrons. Said
a former school man who sat in the
audience, and who was qualified TO
judge: "The pupils all initiate that
touch, 50 much to be desired, which
their teacher, Miss Graper, has" And
not one OF her pupils would be cOnteLt
with the place, as pianist, of
MISUNDERSTANDING short of playing
like Miss Graper will suffice, and if
they do not reach their goal il will
