promised more complete success than al

and with the same cooperation on both
sides, he was lost beyond redemption.
Had Butcher stayed away as Grouchy did,
Or had Grouchy come up as did Blucher,
victory would once more have scared with
the French eagles. 1t is vain to talk OF
Grouchy's having obeyed orders. 1t was
plainly his duty and his only duty, to de-
tain Butcher or follow him.
Bonaparte has also been blamed for
risling all on the last desperate charge of
the Old Guard but he we'll knew that
nothing but decided victory could save
him. He wanted the moral effect of one,
and without it he was lost and he wisely
risked all to win it, He is also blamed, both
in poetry and prose, for not throwing away
his life when the battle was lost. If
personal daring and personal exposure had
been called for in the disorder, and sue
cess could have been possible by tinging
himself into the very Jaws OF death, he
would not have heSitated a moment.
But the rout was utter, and though he
did wish to die and would have done so
but for his friends, had he succeeded in
his purpose, it would have been simply
an act of suicide for which his enemies
would have been devoutly thankful.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

MT. and Mrs. A. G. Peters, of San Francisco have studied law together and were recently admitted to the bar.
 Prof. J. ". Johnson, of Oregon state university, who died recently, crossed the plains driving an OK team with his parents in 1850
 During the last 25 years the number of college students in the country in proportion to population has in creased over 100 per cent.
 It is a mistake to suppose the insur- gent leaders in the Philippines are not civilized; one of them is graduate of Paris school of engineering.
 Prof. Agar Beet, distinguished the ologian of the English Wesleyan Meth odist church, recently wrote a book in which it was asserted that the souls of the wicked are annihilated at death. His church has made him promise not to teach or preach the doctrine.
 The Irish Presbyterian church has rejoiced in a steady increase in every department. During the past ten years the number of families has grown from f9,991 to 3,857 and com municants from 103, 449 to 106 602 The ministerial force is 656. There are 9,076 Sabbath school teachers and 104, 754 scholars. The total contributions for all objects during tie year amount ed to $947, 485, of which very nearly $1O0ooO was given for missions.
 The annual statistical return to the "Alliance of the Reformed Churches holding the Presbyterian system" show that there are 80 distinct churches throughout the world, in eluding such bodies as the Dutch Re- formed church of South Africa, with total membership of 4,627,14 in 29, 634 congregations. In England since the synod was constituted in 1876 the number of congregations has in- creased from 271 to 327, and of mem bers from 34146 to 162, 2,O44.

Most people in this country, very naturally have been disposed to take it for granted that the war taxes would be removed as soon as the war was over. They have not realized the in creased cost which must attend the expansion of the nations business in- cidental to the expanison of the na tion's territory. So far as the im- mediate future is concerned, the inn portant fact must be considered that the bills for the war are just begin ming to come in. Not half of them have been paid yet. Congress appropriated for war purposes lump sums amount ing in the aggregate to $360,0oo,00o. Of this amount only about $13o,ooo,000 has been paid out; the balance re- mains to be liquidated.
 When congress meets in December, the first thing it does will be to make legislation increasing the army and navy The cost involved will be enor= nous, and must be met by propor- tionate appropriations. Where is the money to come from? The people must pay it, of course, but the old sources of revenue will not meet the additional requirements. And be it realized, the expense of the augmentation of the military and naval establishments is not temporary and for once, but con- tinuous and permanent.
 It is a curious fact that the pro- prietors of patent medicines, cos metics, and other such articles are de- sirous that the tax on their goods shall be continued. The stamps they use, for the printing of which they will soon receive from the government spe- cial dies, serve to certain extent as protective trademarks. Most trouble has occurred in connection with the express receipt stamps. Although it was obviously intended by the makers of the law, and the attorney-general has so decided, that the express com panies should pay for the stamps, the companies have obstructed and defed the regulation, even to the extent of refusing packages where the shipper declines to pay for the stamp. This has given rise to a great deal of fries tion, and congress at it's next session will be called on to settle the matter. It is believed also, that congress meant that the telegraph companies should pay for the stamps on mes sages, and this Is another point to be determined by the national legislature

ABOUT RUBBER TIRES.
They Are Coming Into General Use Because They Add to Comfort
 and Convenience.

Any wheel can be fitted with a rub Der tire. A new rim of iron is fitted over the felloe, and in it's boX-shaped channel the fat bottom of the tire fits closely. The best make of tire is com pressed after being placed in the rim and the large steel wires which run through it completely around the wheel are brought together and elec- trically welded, thus making it impos- sible for the tire to slip off. says an exchange.
 At first it was feared that rubber tires would not prove dura ble-that the wear of the street surface, run ming over broken glass and sharp-cor- nered stones, would cut and macerate the rubber very rapidly. This has been disproved.
 Not only is the comfort of riding in- creased by the use of rubber tires, and the noise abolished. but the wear on the vehicle Is greatly diminished. Says a well=known dealer: "A set of rub Der tires will pay for themselves in five years in the saving of repairs on q buggy. The tires take up the Yibra- tion, and nuts and bolts dc not work loose IS they do where iron tires are used. The constant shake to which an ordinary vehicle is subjected when loaded is very destructive. IL not only wears the bolts in their sockets. but the iron itself disintegrates. Rubber tires prevent 90 per cent. of this wear"
 A horse will pull large surrey with a great deal less effort than former ly. The action of an iron tire on a roadway is like successive blows of hammer. The wheel strikes an ob- struetion with dead shock calculated to cause a rebound and to overcome this horse exerts a steady pull; with a rubber tire the material aecommo- dates itself to the obstacle, it's re- siliency causing it to lift itself over the stone or edges of paving bricks.
 Nor will rubber-tired vehicle raise as much dust as one with iron tires, by reason of it's narrow tread.
 All of the livery stables are refitting their best vehicles with rubber tires. In a very few years iron-tired buggies and delivery wagons will be the excep- tion. Perhaps ice wagons, brewery trucks and all heavy teaming vehicles will also be fitted with noiseless tires, thus aiding to the comfort of the pub lie as well as the users of the vehicles.
