case is as clear as day, and it should
not be influenced by any sense OF per-
sonal obligation which he may feel
toward Gen. Alger. The President
stand for the whole nation, and his ad-
ministration can realize no possible
advantage from an inquiry touching
the management OF the War Depart
ment, which is not complete, thorough
and absolutely impartial. The SYM
pathies of the people have been
touched too keenly by what they al
ready know of the mistreatmcnt of the
soldiers to admit of any attempt to
whitewash the war office.

From Pittsburg Dispatch. September /, 1898.
1t was to be expected that two
classes of persons would deny the
charges of mismanagcment of camps
and transports. First, those who are
implicated, from Secretary Alger down
to Col. Hard. Second those who are
ready to toady to any one in power,
for the sake of an approving word, or
who "bend the pregnant knee, that
thrift may follow fawning." Such de-
malls, of course, must be heard in the
spirit of fairness, and if accompanied
by evidence of extenuating circum-
stances must be given due weight.
Denials, however, are not sufficient
to put aside the damning record.
Mere contradiction of the tales of
misery told by the gallant soldiers is
only adding insult to injury. The
testimony regarding the condition of
transports from the Seneca to the
Mohawk and Allegheny, is too direct
to be doubted; the conditions of the
camps at Chickamauga, Dunn Loring
and Fernandina are depicted in the
sutlerings of the soldiers detained in
them.

Christmas Glft-Making.

To give, what does it meanY To
 part with freely and expect no rec ompense. That is the true spirit of
 giving, and it is the spirit that goes far to render Christmas a religious festival than a season of serdid present giving. The feeling ex5 pressed 5y so many people that the Nativity time is festival of annoy ance because of the trouble and ex- pense of making gifts is not only indelicate but is positively selfish Ii one is financially so strengthened that such remembrances of friends are out of the question, then, of course, nothing of the sort should be attempted, for honesty here, as everywhere else, is the best policy
 But there is nothing that softens and expands the heart like giving, even if 1t be done in small way. It brings glow and satisfaction that the receiving of costly gifts can nev- CT arouse. To look into the face of a friend and see the pleasure we have bestowed is compensation for any self sacrifice the act may have entailed. The offering need not be of great intrinsic value; it Is the spirit in which it is given that makes it dear. In fact, if people of moderate means would cease striv- Ing to make expensive presents and be content, instead to give their fami- lies and friends tokens of affection over which they do not have to cal culate and ponder, all of the annoy ance of the season would be done away with and the happiness alone would remain. Few purses are long enough to allow the owners to buy ad libitum, and when one begins to calculate dimes and dollars for one thing and to rob Peter tbat Paul may have something very nice, then the worry commences. This is what makes many a man find fault with poon breakfast and sends women home from the shops with raging nervous headaches, and finally draws from both the exclamation that Christmas is .perfect bother. Then there are the people who never do anything for the pleasure of those outside of their own families, people who satiate their own chil- dren with toys and bonbons and never stop to think of the ''poor who are with us always" To these people Christmas loses it's highest ioy. it's holiest significance. The great lesson that the anniversary teachhs anew to the world every twelve-month is that of unselfish
 ness, and the man who never plays Santa Claus to some one more needy than himself fails to learn the beau .tiful lesson, and so is poorer in spir- if than his penniless 'neighbor. There are children in this city who annually receive from twenty to thirty gifts, and there are those to. wbom one would be. novelty.

stitution OF the "vieuX militaire"
had resisted cold and gTiei and
privation. The ordinary prison
allowance OF food had been dimin-
ished, but in vain. The faithful
servant who had been his one COM
panion had been removed, and still
solitude had not killed him. 1t
was then that the governor Of the
prison took two short holidays.
During the first he con6ded the
keys oi the dungeon to his lieuten-
ant, Captain Colomier. But Col
omier was o5tuse. He even bet.
tered the condition Of the unhappy
captive by allowing him the coffee
for which he craved. When the
governor returned he found mat
ters no further advanced than he
had left them. Presently he took
another Journey. On this occasion
Colomier was not entrusted with
the keys OF the dungeon. The
prisoners, he was told, had need OF
nothing. By tine time the governor
returned, after four days absence,
of one prisoner, at least, the words
were true. Toussaint L'OuvertuIe
had need of nothing. He lay in
his cell, dead from starvation.

THE EEL. SHAPED FRILLED
SHARK. this remarkable
shark was first discovered by DIR.
Samuel Garman in 1884 among
some fishes fs0ua the seas off Japan,
it was at once recognized by him
as very ancient form OF life which
must have survived by taking
refuge in the deep waters. The
discovery thus led to a long and
animated discussion as to its near
est extinct representatives; and so
far as the teeth were concerned,
nothing more similar could be
found than the we'll known fossils
from the carboniferous rocks
named CLadodHS and DiblOdHs.
Shortly afterward three more
specimens OF the same strange
animal were received by the Brit
ish Museum from Japan, a d these
enabled DIR. Guenther to give
some further account OF its anat-
omy in his well known "Challen-
ger" volume on deep sea fishes in
1887. Until 1900, how
ever, the genus was known only
from the neighborhood of Japan,
and in that year BIOLOGISTS vel
coined the interesting news of the
discovery Of young specimen by
the Prince Of Monaco in the seas off
Madeira. Finally, in 1896, came
the new and comparatively gigan-
tic individual now described by
Professor Collett; and This is par
ticularlv interesting as having
been obtained in a sea S far north
as latitude 6o0 as. Fossil teeth,
it may be added, proved that the
shark lived in the Mediterra-
mean area in Pliocene times, but
hitherto it has not been found sur
viving in that region. The speci
men of CkkamyaOSeIacke from
northern Norway is much larger
than any OF those from Japan, be-
ing indeed nearly two metres (6%
leet) in length. But it is a very.
rare Circumstance to be able to
capture so large fish at so great
depth; and as it scarcely differs
from the Japanese specimen ex-
CepE IN size, rroig gSSor Iollett con-
cludes that it is merely a more

CLoNFERT CATHEDRAL.-Manv
years ago, when the cutting for the
Grand Canal was being made, an
ancient wooden causewav was dis
covered in the parish oi Clonfert,
not far from the cathedral. This
wooden causeway, on being ex-
posed to the air, crumbled into
dust. There is a tradition in the
district that a secret underground
passage formerly existed connect
ing the cathedral with the ancient
monastery, in a field adjoining.
Scarcely any trace Of this monas-
terry remains. Recently the work
men engaged in the restoration of
the cathedral came across a portion
OF the stone work OF the window of
the north transept. They also
found embedded in the earth some
fragments OF the ancient monastery
consisting Of two portions of a
beautiful fiuted stone arch. These
with some very old tombstones.
one with an English inscription
dated 1908, one with a Latin in.
scription nearly as old, and another
with an inscription in Irish verv
much older than either, have been
placed in the vestibule Of the ca
thedral. When the workmen were
repairing the ancient sacrIsty thev
found what is believed to be the
entrance to the secret underground
passage referred to. Fearing
that injury might be done to
any carved stone work which
might be found. the excava-
tions have been discontinued tor
the present. The work of general
restoration, however, progresses.
II is being done in sections as
money is subscribed. The chan
mel is almost finished. I.oook
would complete the work OF the
nave. In addition to subscriptions
to the general fund, the rector Of
Clontert, Cannon M'Larney, in.
vites special contributions for tue
excavation work referred to.
These excavations could be done
by competent workmen under the
direction of Mr.. Fuller, the archi.
tect, under whose supervision the
restoration Of the cathedral is be.
ing carried out.

Warts. Regarding these un-
slightly excrescences a Paris COR
respondent says: at is now fairly
established that the common wart
can easily be removed by small
doses ofsulphate OF magnesia taken
internally. M. Colrat, Of Lyons,
states several children treated with
three gram doses or Epson salts
morning and evening were
promptly cured M. Aubert cites
the case Of a woman whose face
was dis6gured by warts, and who
was cured in a month by one and
a half drachm doses of magnesia
taken daily. Another medical man
reports case Of very large warts
which disappeared in a fortnight
from the daily administration Of

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are unmistakable, such as rheums-

Uric acid or brick-dust deposit in
urine are signs Of clogged kidneys,

blood. Sometimes the heart acts
badly, and tube casts (wasting of the

We hear a great deal about the
minister's duties to his people, but
comparatively little regarding the du-
ties of Christian congregation to the
minister. In an article in November
Record of Christian Work. "The
Heart of Minister" Rev. 1. Mench
Chambers calls attention to the neces-
sity of vital unity between pew and
pulpit.
"Unless the heart of the minister is
supported and encouraged by q united
people, it will be untitled to delive
the message which God would
there have told" he says: "In
this respect the pew is in large
measure responsible for the sermon.
1t is not f1attery for which the minis
Ter longs. but it is that warmth of fell
lowship and depth of sincerely which
Jesus sought within the souls of his
chosen. 1t 10 this which every SET

and he said in speaking OF her: "We

glory, because she looks so bright and
CHEEKY AMI pretty at the breakfast
table," a.'-....
How many breakfast tables are pre-
sided over by women who make no
effort to be dainty! The claim that
household duties keep women from
looking we'll in the morning is easily
disproved, for in many a household
where the lady gives a helping hand
in the kitchen, big apron will
thoroughly protect her dress, and then
too, cooking, unless one makes it so,
is never dirty work. That woman
commits an error who looks uncAred
for and badly dressed in the morning.
The other woman who wears any old
thing to the breakfast table, is also
making anistake, for that is the time
when the men of the household ought
to see a woman at her best, and not
specially rely on her appearance in
