The proper study of mankind is man.

What do you think of the statement
that the American people are running
their nerves by the consumption of cof-
fee. tea and tobaeco?'
1T is my opinion that the tea and cof-
fee alarmists have, built their houses
mostly upon the foundation of sand. 1t
is true that the use of these beverages
is increasing and has become almost
universal But l am inclined to think
that they are much more of blessing
than a curse to the race. In fact l have
no doubt that the comfort, health and
longevity Of the race is increased by
the use of coffee and to a lesser de-
gree tits statement is true of tea as
we'll.
Tobacco and Liquor Consumption.
las TO tobacco, we have no accurate
data; but I have been greatly inter-
esIed in observing the extent to which
tobacco was used twenty or thirty years
ago and comparing its use then with
it's use today. Then it was, the ex-
ception TO find man who did not
smoke at the end of dinner. Today
when dining 1 observe that at least
half of the gentlemen refuse cigars
when they are passed around. In fact
there is nothing so far as / know to in
dictate that the per capita consumption
of tobacco is increasing. Moreover I
do not believe that the use of tobacco
is injurious in most instances. In fact
there re cases in which its use is posi-
lively beneficial
rs drunkenness and the consump-
ton of alcoholic liquors on the increase
and does the former threaten to become
a universal evil among the American
people?"
Il should say decidedly no to any
questions of this kind. We do not have
to go far back into the history of the
Anglo-Saxon race to find time when
drunkenness was rife. Passing over the
days of ribaldry which marked the time
of Charles the II, and the Georges in
England we come to the earlier de-
cades OF the present century. During
that time in our own American con-
greens drinking was the rule, and almost
any night numbers of drunken con-
gressmen could be found gathered
around the gambling tables and in the
saloons along Pennsylvania avenue. To-
day it is the rarest thing in the world
that member of congress is seen in
state of intoxication. The spirit of this
age is against over-indulgence in strong
dr ink. Slowly but surely drunkenness
ard lewdness are becoming things of
the past.
In conclusion it may be said that
the peoples of the world are increas-
ing in number from decade TO decade.
They are increasing, still more rapidly
in individual accomplishment. Judged
from the standpoint of races the white
is becoming more and more pre-
dominant. The enlightened races are
growing longer lived. The subjects of
civilization are increasing more slowly:
the barbarians are gaining but little
while the savage races are losing.
Throughout the world the average
length of life. the average intelligence
and the average population is increas-
ing from period to period. And ever is
the human race becoming better"

and feeling an infinite contempt for all
forms of conventional life, he is emf
nently adapted for pioneering expedi-

days away from the settlements which
merely fringed the southern portion OF
the great African continent, he had
many dangers to encounter, many diff
culties to overcome, many anxious mo-
ments to pass. and at all times he had
only his own strong arm to rely upon.

LIFE AND LOVE.

True love Is Of birth sublime;
Il knows not space, it knows not time;
It has a gnerdon from above.
For love is life, and life is love.

Would seek to make true love forlorn;
Yet know where'er your wish may rove
That love il life. and life is love.
You faunt new loves before my eyes,
! note them with scant surprise;
You cannot spoil the treasure troYe
That love is life, and life is love.
We mortals are compact of change,
We have thought Of wondrous range
For boy and girl, for man and wife,
Yet life is love, and love is life.
Ist well to judge by human skill
What warrant serves true love to kill?
1t stands, through all your nescient strife,
That life is love, and love is life
match remembrance with your word,
The truth may pierce you like a sword,
The truth may be a keen edged knife,
Yet life is love, and love is life.
False love is like the winding sheet
Figured in snow and binding slcet;
The shelter whence you dare not move
Is-~loye is life, and life is love.

strength few men over 100000
being on the rolls. OF these $4,000
are regulars, and $4,000 volunteers
of the provisional army Recruiting
will hereafter be merely for the pur-
pose of filling vacancies.
Ten regiments are en- route TO the
Philippines, and L more will start
for the East this month, il the plans
of the War Department are success
fully carried out General Otis has
10000 men. When he has about 80
900. it is believed the campaign in
the Philippines will be begun. That
will be about December |, by which
time the country will be dry and
suitable for military operations OF
any and all kinds. The last of the
reinforcements will probably report
to General Otis about the first OF
the year.
The department is not in posses
sion OF General Otls plans. In Tact,
he has not taken the department in
TO his confidence lately. 1t 10 ex-
pected however, that the new men
will be equally divided between Gen
erals Iawton, Macarthur and
