DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN.

Another great discovery has been made
and that too, by Il lady In this country.
"Dspase fastened its clutches upon her
and for seven Years she Wirhstood IL
sew crest tests, but her vital organs We're
undermined and deaf seemed imminent.
For three mcnthS she coughed lncessant-
~, and could not sleep. She finally dis
covered a way TO recovery, by purchaA-
ing OF US Il bottle OF Dr.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was SO
much relieved on taking first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two bottles
has been absolutely cured. Her name is
Mrs, Luther LUZ. Thus writes W L.

The Indians bleed the fish as
soon as caught, because the flesh
is frmer. when cooked. The
Dutch and French bleed the cod,
which accounts for the, better
quality and whiteness Of their
goldfish. 1t IS very d1ttlult to tell
how long it takes to cook fish,
as it depends as much on the size
kind or quality Of the fish as on
the fire; but, as soon as the flesh
comes off the bones easily, the
fish is cooked; this is very easy
to be ascertained with a knife.

Wednesday, we had the pleasure
Of driving over that part Of the
road completed in the Mayo dis
trict. The parties who had the
contract for building this part
of the road have done a first
class job in removing the stumps,
roots and boulders and have
turnpiked it up in good shape so
a team can go at a good brisk
trot on any spot of the road.
Tne work that is being done on
the coudory through the swanps
is being done upon honor, and
when completed the town will
have a good piece Of road for a
very little money. The town
board is doing a good stroke of
business this year in building
good roads and any Of the con
tractors who do not fulfill their
contracts up to the letter, receive
BIO pay until the road is built &C
cording to plans and specihca-
tons.
Remember that you want a

Long ago, soldiers had chance to
fight and survive. Every man had a
shield as well as sword. Men were
stronger and had more endurance.
But today, if men were made of steel
they would be broken to atoms. We
have improved the sword, but not the
shield. War has become all attack, and
no defense. K
In ancient times war was fairer It
was hand to-hand fighting, anI the
bravest, sturdiest and most skillful man
won. But today personal courage has
no chance to show itself.
Battles in these days are not won by
men, but by money. Spain is bank
rupt nation, therefore we can thrash her.
If American had been bankrupt, and
Spain had $500, 900 900 in the treasury,
there would be a different state of af-
fairs.
The nation that can buy the best ships
and cannons is bound to win in the end.
Therefore the victory is not won on the
battlefield, but in the machine shop and
the treasury. The fight Is really be-
| tween inventors and bombs and torpe-
does, not between soldiers.
War is a battle for trade between two
manufacturers. The one who has the
most capital and the latest improved
machinery will drive out the other.
Soldiers are only nine-pins in this
age of machinery. They are only the
counters in the game.
If war is to continue to be the method
of settling international disputes, then
we should have artificial soldiers made.
A soldier Of wood could be knocked
over Or blown up without leaving a
mother or wife or children behind, to
face the horrors of poverty.
If we prefer cannon to arbitration,
and dynamite to reason, and bombs to
brains. then we should provide some
other victims besides sons and hus-
bands and fathers.
And if we are to become military
nation, then we should close up the
public schools and free libraries. The
rich can hire teachers and buy books,
and the poor don't need education if
they are only to become serfs and SOL
diers.
A Frenchman once challenged an
American to fight duel, and gave him
the choice of place and weapons. The
American agreed, and chose a 10x15
room, and dynamite bombs. The
Frenchman refused to fight.
War has become almost equally de-
structive. 1t renders civilization impos-
sible. Every great city IS at the mercy
Of the enemy. Never before were such
gigantic opportunities Of destruction.
One human f1end can poison the city
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1899-02-15

reservoirs, or blow up the gas mains, or
send a crowded express train to destruc-
ton. One single 850-pound shot would
demoralize an entire city.
AS Huxley points out: Cup to the line
of civilization it was mans savage and
cunning qualities that enabled him to
survive; but after the civilized state be-
gins, these savage qualities become de-
structive."
In other words, it is not safe to trust
wolves with revolvers."
Mans physical qualities decrease in
civilized society. Once every man was
an athlete; today athletes are exhibited
as curiosities in museums.
The civilized man has tender skin,
weak muscles, poor sight, dull hearing
and decayed teeth. He can't run or
swim or climb trees or sit in a draught.
His brain is the only thing that pre-
vents him from being lower than the
animals of the forest.
BY means of our reason we have OBJ
tanned substitutes for strength and skill.
The machine replaces the hand; the
train replaces the foot; the telescope re-
places the eye, and the telephone and
telegraph replaces the ear.
Man is Omnipresent by telephones and
newspapers; he is Omnipotent by steam
and electricity. We have trains end
steamboats, for wings.
We have scores of buildings grander
than Solomon's temple, which was said
to have God for its architect.
There are no bicycles in heaven, nor
no theaters, nor bathrooms, nor electric
lights, nor daily papers, nor photograph
galleries, yet we have all these in every
American city.
All these inventions mean brains and
not bombs. Mind mixed with lightning
makes the telegraph; and mixed with
iron makes machinery; and mixed with
sunlight makes photographs.
Men have become minds, therefore
they should fight with weapons of mind.
This is what may be called the scientific
argument against war;
The only "civilized warfare" is the
conflict Of ideas in the arena of debate.
No man who is conscious of his man.
hood will ever take part in any other
kind Of warfare, or see anything but
brutishness in any other.
But what should be the patriotism of
civilized man? It is not buying 10
cent flags made by consumptive girls in
New York sweat shops. 1t is not shout
ing for war that will put millions of dol
lars into a few contractors pockets.
while the workers furnish both the
money and the corpses. It is not shoul-
dering a gun and yelling for blood
whenever stupid government official
makes blunder.
True patriotism means to love your
country so we'll that you do your best
to remove It's faults and develop its yir-
tues. It means to endure slander, ia
brave the fury Of q prejudice cursed
mob, to risk reputation, and friendship,
and fortune, and even life itself, rather
than allow the nation you love to rush
into any danger, or any folly, or any
shame.-The Coming Nation.

The Scientific Argument Against War

Text-"Our globe is ours to reach the
summit, and to commence the down
ward route, unless arrested by the in
telligence and power of man. Huxley.
Modern civilization is an experiment.
Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome never
trod this path. And so far as our knowl-
edge is concerned, the human race is
also an experiment.
Whenever look at the cold, dead, un-
inhabited moon, containing perhaps the
mouldered remains of million nations,
and now without a green grass blade or
a drop of water, have my doubts about
the everlastingness of the human race.
During the last so years We have been
dazzled by the light which science has
created, and blinded by the speed of our
Industrial progress. We have been
building, inventing, creating; and the
struggle is now going on between the
creative and the destructive instincts of
man.
When children build house Of blocks
or sand, they always end by knocking
1t down. Perhaps the human race has
not passed the puppy period of evolu-
tion, when destruction gives delight.
j. B. O'Reilly said Modern civiliza-
ton is march to precipice;;" and
when we consider the terrible explosives
and war weapons stored up in our cit
les, it seems as If his prophecy would
come true.
G. Ferrero says: Human ferocity Is
an unfathomable abyss. One of our an
cestors' chief amusements consisted in
the destruction of other men. Homi-
eide has been at all times fierce passion
of the human race. Even among the
Romans, war, which is systematic hOmi-
eide, or ferocity reduced to a science,
was regarded as financial speculation.
What is called history is little more than
an interminable series of murders.
Besides the loss of life, and the loss of
human brotherhood. caused by the pres
ent war, it will cost in money enough to
send a million families to Ruskin, and
make them happy and self-supporting.
The old savage instincts of the tiger
survive in us still. We are not fit for
our own inventions. We're like horses
| In a marble stable.
The age of thought has arrived, and
none but thinking nations are fit to sur
vive. Thought has already conquered
force. A 6year-old boy with a Maxim
gun can defeat an army OF giants with
clubs.
The Goliath age has passed away; the
Edison age has come. Therefore the
time has come to abolish all methods Of
force, because 1t would mean the de-
struction Of the human race,
No nation with savage hearts aad
| civilized heads can or should exist,
