life long nurse. No man has right to ask
a woman to share the burden of his ill
health, and that is what he does when he
asks her to be his wife Illhealth in man
is almost invariably the result of disorders
of the digestive and nutritive organs. If
a mans stomach is right and his liver
right, his blood will be pure and rich, and
his nerves strong and steady. When the
blood is pure and rich a man cannot suf-
fer from ill-health. DR.. Pierces Golden

scientific aid to the natural processes of

Probably the most surprised man on
earth was the captain of Spanish
eunboat which sailed into Manila har-
Dor one day recently. He had been in
another part of the Philippines and had
not even heard that war existed. When
he reached the harbor he signalled for
the admiral, but the admiral who re-
ceived him wasn't the one he expected.
Nevertheless, he yielded gracefully to
the inevitable, and now that gunboat is
under the American flag and is a part
of Dewey'S squadron.

as reviewing the geographical knowi-
edge we once acquired and promptly
forgot In short, the present war is,
&c wars always have been, the great
est stimulus to the popular study OF
GEOGRAPHY. In England school-chil-
dren are not taught much about the
political and physical divisions of con-
tinents except is so far as British in
terests are concerned in them. OF
pupiTs attention to almost every civil
lied corner of the world. He who fol-
lows in the London Times, for example,
the actions of the British army and
navy gains a vast deal of geographical
learning in the course of a few years.
Last years gold fever introduced
thousands of us to the geography of
Alaska, which we had not examined
with much care since we purchased
it from Russia. The Venezuela bound
airy dispute turned our interest 10 a
troublesome corner of South America.
The longing for transisthmian canal
has led US to study Central America.
But not for years have we had so much
use for maps and aliases as we have
now. The Pacific as we'll as the Allan
tic is examined With careful scrutiny.
NeSpucci and Balboa never went about
their discoveries with greater Zest
than the American people now display
in hunting for islands which are, per-
haps, merely guano rocks, or for coal
ing stations, for which until recently
they have not cared little.

Will More Volunteers Be Called For?

Almost ever since the call came for
$1,000 volunteers, three weeks ago,
there has been persistent rumor
emanating from Washington cores
pondents that more would soon be
called for. Nothing official has been
given out On the matter, though occa-
sionally some high official has said that
the report was groundless. Within the
last few days these rumors have again
been in the air They have placed the
number of men to be called for at from
5000 to 100000, and given a dozen rea-
sons Why a second call was to be made.
If more men are needed to push this
war to a speedy and successful conclu-
sion it is certain that President Mckin-
ley will not hesitate to ask for them,
and it is equally certain that they will
be readily forthcoming from the ranks
of our loyal citizens in every section.
1t is far better to have more men than
are needed than to have tco few.
Moreover, the first call depleted IN
great measure the ranks of the Nation
al Guard. and if a new call were is
sued most of those to respond would
be without military organization or
training, and it would be many weeks
before they could be made ready for
active service. The occupation of the
Philippines will take $4,000 or 2o,ooo
men who We're evidently not reckoned
on when the first call was issued. The
revelation of the small size of the Gu
ban insurgent army makes it probable
that the army of invasion will be larg-
er than was first estimated. Perhaps
also an army of occupation for Porto
Rico will be required, and in any case
it will be necessary to have a large re-
serve army at home for coast defense
and to reinforce the armies in active
service.
If more men are needed they can be
obtained more easily now than later
Patriotic enthusiasm is at fever pitch
all over the landau hundreds of thou
sands of loyal citizen soldiers can be
had for the asking. There have been
no reverses to discourage the people
and those now being mustered into the
n
envy by the young men left at home
Within a few days the government will
vice, as the $4,000 volunteers will very
soon be mustered in, and the regular
government does not feel that this
constitutes a sufficient army to bring
prayer for peace, then the quicker
more troops are called for the better it
will be for us and for Cuba. With such
an enemy we must take no chances.
AS 10 Maine, if second call for vol
as quickly and as well as any State in
the Union. The ID Regiment would
welcome with cheers an opportunity to
follow the 1St into active service, and
if it has not enough men now in its
ranks to fill the States quota, it would
nevertheless form the nucleus around
which they would at once assemble.
Maine, as we'll as the whole country
hopes that there is no necessity for
more troops and that no second call
need be made, but it stands ready to
do its fall duty, however many of its
sons must be sacrificed for the sake of
the flag We love. If there are not
enough soldiers now at the disposal of
the government for all purposes of the
present war now is the time to find 1t
out and to issue another call for those
who are ready and waiting.

Of his favorite nephew, as he asked
What are you going to whip him for

man, "impudence: ana he must be

Now, let us see" said Uncle Johnny.
