The Cost of War.

The result Of the Crimean war gave
to the British nation not one single foot
of foreign soil nor any pecuniary COM
pensation whatsoever. The only benefit
derived from the war, which lasted two
years, was to keep Russia out of Con-
stantinople and give the English a. way
to India and the east that was undis-
puted. For this end the British lost %,
IA men killed in action or died from
wounds, cholera or other diseases. The
loss to the French allies in the same
campaign has been estimated at So, 500
and the Russians as high as 500, 600.
The war also cost the British 1905, $685.
900. War is a costly as we'll as dan
gerous business. It is the court Of last
resort with nations nowadays as it was
the first in ancient times.

FOOLED THE PREMIER,
An Experiment Which Made Matters
Worse Than They Had Been.

A story, the truth of which is vouch-
ed for in high quarters, is told concern
ing the manners of the political mem
bers Of a small country renowned for it's
ancient courage. The prime minister
gave reception to meet some distin-
guished Englishmen. The asse1nblage
consisted solely Of the strangers, the
members of the parliament and the
prime minister. During the, course of
the evening one of the more distinguish.
ed Of the English guests discovered that
his watch had been taken. He went to
his host and informed him of his loss
adding that ne especially priced the
watch, as it was present to him from
the king of the country whose guest he
had the honor to be at that moment.
The prime minister saw at once that
there was only one thing to be done,
and, asking for silence, explained the
situation to the company. He said that
no doubt some one had yielded to the
temptation of the moment, but that
when they learned that the missing ar
ticle was the gift Of their king he was
sure their loyalty, if nothing else, would
prompt them to restore it to its owner.
In order that the culprit's honor might
be preserved and the country saved from
a scandal, he said, the lights would be
lowered for five minutes and the guests
would defle past the writing table,
which would give an opportunity for
the delinquent to place the watch there.
Upon this the room was darkened for
the stipulated time. On the lights being
turned up it was found that the watch
had not been placed on the writing ia
BILE, but that a valuable silver inkstand,
also gift Of the king to his prime min
lister, was missing as well. London

MoNEY AND MUSIC.
Why We Have More Women vocalists
Than Men.

xn80 l1e0s
In preparing list Of American con
cert singers it was curious to note that.
the NUMBER Of tenors just exactly equal
ed the combined number Of baritones
and BASES. It is probably true that
there are just about two cultivated ten
ors to each baritone or bass There are
similarly about twice as many sopranos
as there are mezzo sopranos or contral-
stos, and there are probably two trained
sopranos to every tenor.
The reasons for these ratios are prob
ably these: "A higher voice, being the
more unusual, attracts to its owner the
more attention. The natural tenor and
soprano are accordingly encouraged to
cultivate what may, after all, be only
q mediocre ability. The mezzo soprano
or baritone, however, is thought Of as
only an ordinary mortal, and voice Of
the utmost possibilities may be left to
waste its fragrance in the dark, unfath-
omed caves of its owners thorax.
A village church is the epitome Of
the world in this respect The women
"sing alto' or keep quiet, or strain and
squeal at the top notes; the men drone
out a bagpipish bass. The good voices
are lost in the lugubrious average, but
it there is a girl who takes the high
notes futily or a boy who can interpo-
late the tenor part without danger of
scarlet fever these voices sing out above
the grounding chorus. Every one pricks
ear to listen, and the word is passed
that Sukey Smith or Jakey Jones has
voice. It may be that that voice
ought to be cultivated, it may be that it
ought to be coniscated, but to the teach
crit must go. The steps from this first
discovery to a career Of public veal or
woe are easy. '~s- ~ r.
So much for the disproportion of high
and low professional singing. The fact
that more women than men study song
is doubtless to be accounted for by the
superstition that fourishes in many dis
tricts that selling dry goods or keeping
books is more manly career than sing
ing. This public creed keeps many
man from developing the gold mine in
his larynx.t Besides, there is, especially
in America, a sentiment that man
should not depend on his father after
he has reached his majority. >s...,
1t is a wholesome sentiment on some
accounts, pernicious sentiment on 9TH
ers but many father will set his son
up in business with sum Of money
which if devoted to paying his artistic
tuition a, few years on in his twenties
might give him capital of unlimited
possibilities.-Godey' Magazine

The Latter Day Jerusalem.

When I landed at Yafa, ! first began
to open my eyes in regard to the Holy
Land. This is a seaport town, and it is
dirty and filthy and is overrun with
beggars who have their NIT out on
every corner. In the middle Of winter,
when a light snow was falling, the
Arabs, wearing cheap cotton clothing,
would stand around and shiver. Every
body shiyered for that matter, for new

Professor l.. H. Bailey of Cornell
university has been asked to go to
Finland to conduct series of expert
ments in electrical plant-growing, il
conjunction with Professor Lomstrom
OF Che University OF Heisingfors. The
experiments to be carried ON have
nothing to do with the electric light
or the running Of electric wire
through the soil for the purpose of
forcing the growth of plants by direct
current stimulation. They are to be
based on some pertinent observations
made by Lemstrom, of the effect Of
the aurora borealis on the plant growth
Of the North.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
plants of The Moth arrive at maturity
at a much shorter period OF time than
those plants which are grown further
south, 1t is necessary that these
pants should arrive at maturity very
quickly, inasmuch as the summer
season in the North is very brief, and
1t has always been looked apon as a
wise provision Of Providence that
plants were enabled to accomplish
their business in life in 50 short a
space of time. Professor Lemstrom,
however, casting aside the providen-
tiai idea states that the rapid growth
of plants in the far North is due
directly TO the light Of the aurora
borealis. New York journal.

Memphis, Tenn, lawyers have
brought suit In Weakley County for
damages for defamation of character,
alleged to be contained In an epitaph
cut on a tombstone. Such a cause for
action Is probably unheard of in the
annals of the courts Of the country. In
December, 1896, l.. b. Cate was shot
and killed by one Bill Penic. Penio
was indicted and tried on the charge of
murder. He was defended by the same
lawyers who are now acting for him
in this civil suit. The accused was ac-
quilted on the plea of self-defense.
The parents Of the deceased, L. B. Cate,
thought - hocor his memory by erect
Ing a suitable tombstone over his
grave, and having cut in the marble a
legend settling forth some Of the clrcum-
stances Of his taking of. The follow
ing was cut on the tombstone:
Il. b., son of J. c. and L. J. Cate
Born April 10, 1870. Married Willie
Freeman December p, 1887. Was shot
and killed by Bill Penic December IL,
1896; caused by Penic swearing to a
lie on Gates wife. Aged 20 years g
months and / day
II is alleged by Penic that this stone
was lettered by ]. II. Hutchinson. Of
Martin, and 1t is alleged that the stone
was exposed to public gaze in the yard
of Hutchinson for quite while before
It was erected at the head of the gra 20
containing the remains OF the deceased
Gate. Since the vindication Of Penic
by the trial jury in Weakley County he
has sought reparation for the wording
Of this tombstone. The complainant
seeks damages from the sculptor and
the father of the deceased in the sum
OF $4,000.

AYR WARNED Ano STRAINED.


The Delicate Mechanism Of the Nose
What NASAL Caiarrh IL.
There is no more prevalent disease
than ca'arrh Of the nose nassagea.
The reason Of this is not far to seek.
il Is mainly because the lining menu
brane is subjected TO cold air, hot air,
warm air, dust, and all the evil influ-
enees the atmosphere can exert, and
so after a time becomes chemically
inAamed and thickened. But is all
this a serious matter ? To certain
extent-yes. The chief Office, be it
noted, Of the interior Of the nose is
TO strain and warm the air before
passing into the lungs. To do this
work eifectually there are situate
within each nostril three sets of bones
covered with mucous membranesl,
which are rolled upon themselves like
scrolls. Through these scrolls il is
really that the air has to pass. By
far more air is thus warmed and
strained than would otherwise be
possible.
These bony scrolls are associated
with the sense of smell, aud in some
animals, such, for example, as the dog,
they are much more deliberately de-
yeloped than in man, and thus we find
the sense OF smell much keener in the
former. What is catarrh?
An inflammation Of mucous mem
brane, accompanied with more or less
discharge, is perhaps a good popular
definition. Sometimes the discharge
is mucous, aud whitish or nearly col
ofless and, again, it is purulent and
yellowisb, aud sometimes streaked
with blood. The condition known rs
catarrh is one in which the tissues be-
come permeated with extraneous cells,
and in which the tissue elements them
selves seem TO have but Que potential
property, viz, that Of dying.
Catarrh of the nose passages may
extend along the passages until it has
produced catarrh of the throat Ca
tarrh Of the throat, in turn, it is al
legged, may extend downward till it
causes bronchial or gastric disease,
and min the end consumption.
The ease with which catarrh may
frequently be cured renders it all the
more remarkable that so many should
be troubled with it SO long, for we
have known it 10 last for many years
II an absolute cure is TO be effected,
obviously the mucous membrane must
be cleared Of inhammatory deposits,
when the thickening will quickly van
