APINE BLUFF BOY. DUVAL JOHNSON APPOINTED FIRST SERGEANT OF
 COMPANY M.
S. HEARN WHITE WRITES
An Interesting Letter From San Antonio, Tex.-A Private
 In the Thirty-third,

The following letter was received today by Meyer Soimson, City Edi- tor of the Graphic. It is self ex- planitory and is from Mr. s. Hearn White, Pine Bluff boy who recent ly enlisted in the 33rd, United States Volunteer Infart try.
 CAMP ALLYN K. CAPRoN,
 SAN ANTONIO, TEx., August 18th.
 The c Pine Bluff boys arrived in camp Friday and we are DOW being drilled four hours each day. We have three drills in the morning, from 6 to 8,8:3O to 9:3O and from 10 to 10:30, after which we rest until twelve o'clock, at the lat ter hour we are drilled to dinner We rest from 12:30 until 4 o'clock in the afternoon and then close the days work with one hours drill. Between drills other duties. too numerous to mention, are done.
 The 33rd is composed of men from all parts of the United States. All the companies have their full quota Of men except ours, Company M. We need only few men to complete our company. It is likely that the 33rd will be full by to night as men continue to arrive daily on every train. Company M. is the only company stationed here that has not as yet, been supplied with cloth ing. We will receive our uniforms in day or SO. Each man is given three suits, solid white, kahki and deep blue. The 33rd is not stationed in San Antonio, as was supposedlit would be, but is about two miles from the city on the Jock ey Club Fair Grounds.
 Upon our arrival here Duval J ohn- son. member of the late Com pany B, Jefferson Fencibles, First Arkan- sas, was appointed First Sergeant of Company M. This is just what Duval wished for when he entered the service and I am glad Pine Bluff boy is the lucky humber. : No other officers of a lower rank, have been appointed for our com pany. When we jumped off the train in San Antonio, who do you think we met at the depot? Pri vate Earl Joyce, a Pine Bluff boy, who had joined the 33rd at Palistine Texas. We have not been informed as to just how long we will be here. We may be ordered to the Philip pines in about two weeks, and yet we

A CANCER MYSTERY.
Physicians Unable to Discover the
Cause or Cure of the
Disease.

In the daily press we find full dc-
counts of another discovery of the can
Ger bacillus, the investigator in this in
stance being DR., Bra, of Paris, says the
Medical Review of Reviews. 1t is not
surprising to learn that the medical
men of the French capital do not unani-
mously or even in small numbers in
dorse the validity of the claims made
nor do they express complete conn
dence in the source from which the
claims emanate.
The answer to the question of the ex-
istence of cancer bacillus is still to be
reckoned among the mysteries of bac-
THEOLOGICAL research. One striking an
alogy to recognized microbe disease is
lacking in the clinical history of can
cer-viz., its rare appearance before
middle life, even though exposure be
prolonged to many years. The tuber-
Gle bacillus may find soil for reproduc-
tion in all ages and among all classes.
This is very far from the fact in the his
tory of cancer invasion, the exceptions
being too few to prove that il is other
than a disease peculiar TO the period of
middle life and old age

FINGERING HELPED STATUES
Curious Discovery Made In Berlin
Museums Aboiishes the "Iinnds
OF" signs.

Until short time ago, says the New
some of the Berlin museums was most
carefully labeled: Hands Off" just
as it is in many American museums.
What happened in Berlin, however,
may cause the curators of some of our
museums to take down their signs. 1t
was observed in Berlin that those parts
of the bronze statues which were sur
reptitiously handled by the public re-
tanned a good surface. This Red to the
conclusion that fat had something to
do with it. An experiment was there
fore tried for some years with four
bronZes. One was coated every day
with oil and wiped with cloth; another
was washed every day with water; the
oiled twice "A year; and the fourth was
left untouched, just as our bronzes re-
main isolated behind the notices,
Hands Off" The first looked beauti-
full; the third, which had been oiled
twice "A year, was passable; the second
looked dead; and the fourth was duh
and black. 1t is probably a fact not
generally known that the ancient
Greeks polished their statues by CON
slant hand rubbing. Perhaps the
curators above mentioned, who have
charge of statues and other adorn-
ments, will profit by the experiment
here described

tant subject, particularly as defective
vision seems to be largely on the in
crease among our pupils. Almost all
nearsighted children develop certain
characteristic traits. Boys who are nat

| think that is because their infirmity
puts them al disadvantage with their
companions in out-of-door sports They
can't play ball, for instance, or tumble
about. and are never sure footed. The
other boys ridicule them, and they be-
come solitary in their habits, SO, for
that reason, special pains should be
taken to encourage nearsi GIFTED chill
tlren to exercise. Another thing have
observed is thai they are always nerv-
Gus and apprehensive in the dusk, That
is because they see imperfcctly in half
lights, and they should never be start
led unnecessarily. Most cases of my
opia, or nearsight, are discovered in
the schooiroom through inability of
the pupil to see the black board. Before
the cause is detected, however, the child
often suffers unmerited rebuke.

CHINESE ALMANAC.
An Infallible Journal That Enjoys
the Largest Circulation in
the World.

The Chinese Almanac is the most
largely circulated publication in the
world, the number of copies printed
and sold yearly reaching several mil
lions. 1t is printed at Peking, and is a
monopoly of the emperor, no other al
manac being permitted to be sold in
that country. Although containing re-
liable astronomical information, its
chief mission is TO give full and ac-
curate information for selecting lucky
places for performing all the acts,
great and small, of everyday life. And
as every act of life in China, however
trivial, depends for its success on the
time in which, and the direction point
of compass) toward which il is done, it
is of the utmost Importance that every
one should have correct information at
all times available to enable him so TO
/ order his life as to avoid bad luck and
l calamity, and secure good luck and
I prosperity. So great is the native faith
in its infallibility, that not long since

fused 10 sail on a day which had been
appointed because it was declared in
the almanac to be unlucky.

Of death, says; Il am never tired of

as it is comforting, although in oppo-

has no terrors for the sick man. To
the living and healthy man it is quite
otherwise, but the sick man upon whom
death lays his hand pales gently and
