politics next year. 1t is said that
the condition of Mr.. Hobart's health

that Boss Hanna's health is too pre-

Six Weeks Siege at Fort Chabrol Ends
in a Ridlcnlous Stylc.

PARIS (By Cable. -Precisely at the hour
appoiuted n captain OF the Municipal
Guards raped Mt the door of Fort Chaorol.
There was n moment OF expectation and
then the door opened. NJ. duerin calmly
presented himself, meesly surrendered ant
was driven to the police station in an open
cab, seated beside the captain OF the
Guards. His companions were allowed to
go free. The six weeks siege ended in
ridiculous style.
The night was we'll chosen by the Gov
erument, as the excitement over tho cap
ture of the fort would inevitably divert
attention from the PARTON extended to
Drtyfus. The plan was to nttacS the
building and arrest Guerin and his baud.
The Government had given him until 4
o'clock In the morning to surrender, and
had a regular army to assault the fort II he
refused. Troops, municipal guards,
mounted and on foot, and policemen to the
number Of nearly a thousand were dis
patched to Gordon all the streets within
the radius of Il quarter OF q mile OF Fort
Chabrol. The netghborhood presented u
picturesque scene. One would imagine
that u general assault upon n fortified
camp was about to take place. The Gordon
was exceedingly strict,
Infantry officers and officers of the Mu-
nicipsl Guard paced up and down during
the hours OF waiting, CHANGING up ut the
windows Of the fort from which in the dim,
gray light of the early morning could DC
distinguished a black flag, hoisted from
the second floor, and u white sheet hanging
down, with the device in black lettering,
"Vive rArmee" and "a bas les Traitres."
When NJ. Guerin's companions separated
they took coaches and were driven OH.
Then the troops departed, followed by the
Municipal Guards and only a few police
remained In the Rue de Chabrol to Keep
order. An immense crowd fingered to the
end to watch the proceedings and then
dispersed with little or no disturbance.

The Abuse of Medicine.

Both men and women are prone to
NEEDLE far too much with drugs
which they understand little or moth
ing about. Medicine is very neces-
sary at times, but in OVERRIDING a rem
cdy it is only too easy to increase or
produce the ill which W. wish to pre-
vent. Aperients and tonics are per-
haps the two medicines which are
most often abused in the hands Of an
amateur, for the indiscrimina.e and
constant use of medicine has the
worst possible effect on the COM
~plexion.
Cosmetics, emollients, lotions, etc,
are all very good and useful in their
way if used when necessary and with
care, but women as @ class are far too
earer to see the result of their doc
toring and have not the necessary pa
thence to wait for the effects, for they
should remember that it is useless to
heap on coating of cosmetics Id To-
tions one after the other before the
first application had time to do its
work. Nature declines to be hurried
and will only respond to external
help when it is wisely given.
When medicine is prescribed by q
doctor, the hour of administering the
dose should be carefully observed, or
it may not take proper effect and il
~perchanee a medicine has been for
gotten at the time stated it is useless
to administer it at any other time

Virtues of Buttermillk.

The growing practice of utilizing
the waste products OF all manufac-
lures has brought out the fact that
buttermilk possesses many unsuspect-
ed qualities. A medical paper says
its reputation as an agent of superior
d~igestibility has become firmly estab-
lished. 1t is, indeed, a true milk pep
tone-that is, milk already partially
digested, the coagulation of the
coagulated portion being loose and
haky and not of that firm, indigesti-
BILE nature which is the result Of the
action Of the gastric juice upon sweet
cows milk. 1t is of great value in
the treatment of typhoid fever, and,
being IL decided laxative, it may be
turned to advantage in the treatment
of habitual constipation. 1t is no
less valuable in kidney troubles, from
its diuretic qualities. 1t is in great
request for the treatment of diabetes,
either alone or alternately with skim
milk. and in cases of gastric ulcer and

retained when no other food can

The Man with the jug.

Mr.. Markham's poem, 1.-THE Man With the
Hoe" has attracted much attention and
elected the sympathy OF millions of tender
hearts in favor OF the farmer, and properly
so, for he is bowed with the weight oil cen
turtles" and has ION his back the burden
OF the world" But who thinks OF Offering
sympathy to the man with the jug? He
too labors under a burden, sometimes be-
yond his strength, and falls out of sight
and into an unhonored grave.
The world looks upon the man with the
Jug as a common %drunkard not worth st.
~tention, much less respect, and turns the
cold shoulder to him until he loses all self
respect and gives up all hope of redemption,
1t Is true that he Is more to blame for his
condition than any one else and must Rn-
swer to God for his sin OF sell-destruction.
But he Is not alone to blame. Influences
were brought to bear on him and tempta-
lions placed in his way that lured him to
his ruin. II the appetite Is hereditary,
then the parents or remote ancestors must,
in a measure, share the responsibility. II
the appetite is the result of social environ.
ments, then those guilty of placing the
temptation before the unfortunate man
must bear the blame. In either case the
victim is more to be pitied than scorned.
Some OF the most pittable objects we have
ever seen were men utterly under the do
ntinlon OF the jug. Though convinced OF
sin, and the final ruin OF the soul, body and
estate, OF indulgence in strong drink, and
struggling to be free, like a tawn In the
folds of an anaconda, they were perfectly
helpless. Led away, 1t may be, In the be-
ginning, and blamable for yielding, In the
end they were the unwilling victims OF APP
petite. 1t is true no case is absolutely
hopeless, because the Lord pledges Him
self to help every struggling soul. But to
get such a soul, whose moral senses have
been blunted by long indulgence, to sec
his and lay hold OF the hope set before
him, is the hardest kind Of work, as every
body knows who has had any observation.
As long as human nature remains what
1t is, and facilities are afforded men to feed
their greed, the jug will be supplied with
liquor, and the great army of respectable
thinkers will be recruited. and in turn the
grave will receive dead drunkards. There
is but one remedy. We can neither kill
nor punish the man with the jug, but we
can take temptation out OF his way. We
can break thejug.
God pronounces a woe upon the man
who puts the bottle to his neighbours mouth
and makes him drunk. The curse must
rest on all who are guilty, whether parents,
or those who compose the community, or
rule the State or Nation. Our Government
Is such as to allow US to free ourselves
from the curse II we will. The RESPONSE
billy rests Upon the good people OF our
land. TIL man with the jug must be re-
lievod. Then the man with the hoe will
have a lighter load to carry, Northwest
ern Advocate.

! FARM AND GARDEN. !
NF~N~~~~E~E

The wire screens commonly used in
houses to keep out flies are now SO
cheap that they can be profitably used
in stable windows for the same pur-
pose. But 1t must be remembered
that the stable is itself the most com
mon breeding place for flies, in the
excrement from animals in which the
flies deposit their eggs. Unless care
is tax en- to gather up and remove the
droppings before there is time for
eggs to hatch, the window Greens
will servo rather to shut the flies in
than to keep them out. Stables should
never be built near houses, because if
they are nothing can keep houses
from being overrun with flies. Next
to the stable as a breeding place for
these pests is the sink hole, where
slops of all kinds are thrown to pass
Off through drains underneath. 1t is
possible that where these conditions
prevail, flies, though annoying, are
really beneficial. Flies doubtless de-
stroy much filth, and thus lessen the
malaria which would prevail If they
had not been created. But it is far
better to place all d%ecaying sub
stances under ground, where the earth
will absorb their bad odors, than to
leave them on the surface to breed
flies. .
