A Cha,npion,s Testimony.

A champion cyclist was asked: ''Do you
ever take spirits OF any kind? l mean
whiskey or brandy"
mo; they cut the breath short. You
can't race and take brandy. 1t may help
little but 1t leaves you worse. l believe
that If five or six men were together in a
race, say two miles from the tape, and one
was handed drink of brandy. it might let
him break away and win easily; but II he
had ten miles, or a long race before him,
he would find great difficulty In riding. His
breath would be cut short. The man who
drinks brandy or whiskey will soon be
broken winded.''
$50 you don't believe in brandy?"
''No; It may help for short spurt, but
II is no good for a long run. Only tenn
perance man can be good dracer."-Paciao

The Peril Of France.

Some time ago q Frenchman compiled
new statistics concerning the consumption
Of alcohol In the different countries OF Eu-
rope. The statistician found himself COM
pelled to assign the somewhat doubtful
honor OF first place on the list to his own
countrymen, and, what Is still worse, the
"Grande Nation" was not closely followed
by the drinkers of whisky or schnaps, but,
20 use racing term, simply won in a can
ter. When these statistics became gener-
ally known the first impression in France
was one OF unbounded astonishment.
Frenchmen had always been accustomed to
look on drunkenness as horrible vice es-
sentiaily peculiar to their neighbors across
the Channel and across the Rhine The
feeling OF astonishment soon gave way to
oneo one OF mingled panic and anger-panic on
account OF the future OF the nation, and
anger against the "mauvais patriotic" who
had dare to tell his ellow-countrymen an
unpleasant truth. However, now the
truth has been recognized everything Is to
be done that can be done In order that the
situation may be ameliorated.
We have already touched on one curious
feature OF the French teetotal campaign;
the barracks have been placarded with
pictures showing the results of drink, and
Il number. of medical men have started
special crusade against the evil. 1t ap-
pears that drunkenness in France has not
been communicated to the people from
above, that is to say, whereas I'M the labor
Ing classes the examples are unfortunately
frequent, the cases of alcoholism in the
upper and middle classes have up to the
present been relatively rare. The statis-
tics before US show that the favorite bever-
age OF the French workingman is the horri-
bic concoction known as absinthe, and its
effects upon him are really disastrous. The
harm done in England by the over-con-
sumption Of whisky and by schnaps in
Germany is small compared to that done
by absinthe In France. DR.. Laborde, of
the Academy Of Medicine, has affirmed in
brochure upon the subject his conviction
that, unless something is quickly done to
remedy the present state Of affairs, within
relatively small number of years the
whole OF the working classes will have be-
come habitual drunkards. Special legisla-
tion on the subject has already been pro-
posed, but as the "marchands de wins" are
exceptionally influential electors, it is to
be feared that the deputies will be slow to
support any measures ,likely to decrease
the consumption of alcohol In France

THE MAN WHO FOUGHT WITH THE TENTH.
IAN INCIDENT AT SANTIAGO

AN INCIDENT
In the quick-coming dusk of the tropical
night,
What was it that barred the way?
The colonel. walking the lines of the Tenth,
STOPPED down where soldier lay.
Dead he lay. but he guarded still
A paper in his right hand,
And the colonel said "This soldier fought
Today under my command.
!'This is the man whose voice heard
In the thick of the battle today
I've lost my regiment. sir-the Ninth,
I'll fight with the Tenth, if may
"Men were falling to right and left,
The bullets around us few:

Tenth
And he disappeared from sight.
They say he fought with u gallant will;

AT SANTIAGO.
lone hour ago before me he stood,
His voice was steady and low
I'll find my regiment, now,' he said,
IF you'll give me leave to go.
"'But lest my captain should think shirked,
Will you write him a line to say
fought with the Tenth under your COM
mand.
And have done my duty todayY
"Quicky wrote (this paper would show
He had done his soldierly part);
But little thought to find him here,
With a stray shot in his heart!
"He served with us, with our dead let him
rest.
And give him comrades place"
The man who had fought with the Tenth
seemed to smile.
As he lay with his upturned face.
They slipped the paper he never would need
Into his hand again,
And the colonel passed slowly along the lines
To cheer his dropping men.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The average life of ship is about 70

About 100000 tons Of coal are an

A well-known specialist on ear dis

Although the brain is perpetually ac-

but alternate in action.
Dr. Daniel Draper, in charge of the
meteorological bureau in Central park,
said the records did not show that any
sudden drop in temperature occurred
early in the morning. But, he said
sit is well-known fact that the cold
est period is usually at sunrise. This
is caused by the evaporation of mois-
ture occurring when the heat first
strikes the earth"
The highest temperatures for the
year correspond with abundant sun
spots and the least humidity, and the
maximum temperatures with scarcity
of sun spots and great humidity. Such
is the conclusion reached by NJ. Camille
Flammarion after many years of OBJ
servation. He also believes that the
character of the years temperature is
indicated by the temperatures of March
and April.

SWORD In A WINDOW.
How Rear Admiral Sch1ey saw HIS
Philadelphia Present Ahead
Z of Time.

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
was walking down the avenue with an
old friend, also a naval officer, and they
were looking in the shop windows IN
very democratic manner, when the ad-
miral happened to glance in the win
dow of a well-known jewelry firm, and
his attention was attracted to mag
pificent gold sword, says Philadelphia
paper.
The two gentlemen stopped and
looked in the window at the sword fora
few minutes and read the card which
was near it announcing that this
sword is to be presented to Rear Ad-
miral Schley in Philadelphia on the Goth
inst"
"Let us go in and see it," said Schley.
And in they went. The jeweler was
near the door and he recognized the
hero of Santiago at once. The sword
and case were taken out OF the window
and placed on top of a showcase, where
the admiral could examine it closely.
His face was beaming with delight as
he handled it, and outside there was
gathering large crowd OF men, wom-
en- and children, whose faces were also
beaming. but they were not looking at
the sword. They were studying every
move and change of expression in
Schley's face. He did not seem to no.
tice them, and after examining the
sword and accompanying belt carefully
for about is minutes he and his naval
friend walked of, with great crowd
following closely.
An illustration of the value of the
Young Mems Christian association

that fully 40 per cent. of the men in

"When the Young Mems Christian as
sociation tent arrived at the station the
entire camp turned out to cheer the
workers, SO glad were the boys to
see it."

vided for the larger ships Of the new
programme.
Reference was made to the develop
ment and utilization OF two engineer
ing schemes in the late war: viz, the
repair ship Vulcan and the distiIling
ship Iris. The Vulcan, the admiral
said, was fully equal to anything need
ed for the rehabilitation OF . feet short
of a ship yard, and was a development
of the idea OF taking tools to the work
rather than the work TO the tools. He
emphasized that not only does the
creation but operation and mainten-
ance of the modern ship of war depend
upon the mechanical engineer. The
brilliancy OF the victories off Santiago,
he said, was due to the care and fore
sight of Chief Engineer MnHgan of
the Oregon.

ted to an impression being taken of
his strong right hand" by a noted
reader of lines and conditions of the
palm. During Mr.. Clarkes recent east
ern trip he was approached by an emf
nent palmist who desired to use Mr..
Clarke's hand as an artistic foil as it
were, to that of the man of affais,' the
late Mr.. Gladstone. The hand of a
lover of the artistic, of flowers and
music and acting. one who has devoted
his life to a peculiar line of thought
and action as exemplified by his pro-
fession. Mr.. Clarke was selected be-
cause of his well known love of the
stage as we'll as because of his ambi-
ton and decided talent which has
brought him so prominently into the
front rank of contemporaneous stars.
When the writer called upon the pro-
fessor he had before him an ink
sketching and was busily study
ing not only the strong lines,
but also the minutest details
and the general contour which all
help to bring out the general charac-
teristics of the subject. "A remarka-
BILE feature of Mr.. Clarke's hand" said
the noted specialist, ARE the double life
lines which you will observe run par
allel and very strongly marked through
almost the center of the palm. This is
very remarkable and denotes extreme
old age and great vitality. 1t is rarely
seen and was one of the marked fea-
lures of the palm of the grand old
man, Mr.. Gladstone. The surface of
the palm and what we term the mount

thumb. denotes an extremely nervous
disposition, impulsive and high strung

TO BOOM PORT OF MONTREAL.
Syndicate of Boat Owners Will Build
Big Grain Elevators There.

Montreal, Quebec, Dec. 1.-THE Mon
proved the proposals of a syndicate to
erect large elevators and warehouses at
the port of Montreal for the handling
of grain shipments from the west. A
lease of the sites asked for will be
given. A penalty clause will be added
to the contract, providing that if the
syndicate does not secure the quantity
of grain stipulated during the first
three years, namely 25,OOO,OOO bushels
during the first season and $4,000, 900
during each of the two other seasons,
their property shall be forfeited. The
syndicate will construct three large ell
evators and large warehouses at a
total expenditure of over 100000.
w. ]. Connors of Buffalo, the head of
the syndicate, said this evening: I'VE
intend to build up a port here that will
give employment to between 1000 and
5000 worxmen instead of about 700 as
at present. We shall bring instead of
OOU Vessels 10 montreal curing the sea
son of navigation from 1900 to 1900
vessels. We intend to divert a very
large part of the traffic that now goes
by way of New York and Buffalo to
Montreal. Only two-tenths of the traf-
fic of the Canadian West, now comes
to Montreal. The rest goes by rail to
New York and Boston, and those ports
have the benefit of it. We mean to
bring the remaining eight-tenths here.
We will land the grain in Liverpool
half cent a bushel cheaper than any
body else can. We shall have our own
steamers to bring the grain from the
lakes to Montreal. There will very
shortly be a fleet of $500 of these YES
sells plying on the canals and lakes.
Our object is to compete with the rail-
ways. We can utilize the splendid
waterways of Canada so that We can
beat the railways in competition for the
grain traffic"

bers of the deep waterways commits
sion met here today. Col. Raymond of
Philadelphia, Alfred Noble of Chicago
and George Wisner, to formulate a
final report to submit to Congressman
COrless, to be used as the basis of a bill

lake levels. The report will recommend
the building of an automatic dam
across Niagara river at the foot of
Lake Erie, to cost not more than
81, 900. 1t is represented that such
a dam will not deepen the water in
the hkes materially, but will hold the
levels as nature intended them to be.
The report will be unanimous.

CARLISLE MURDER CASE.
A Number of Physicians Declared Pos
itively That Defendant Is Sane.

Dallas, Texas, Dec. 1.-THE evidence
in the John T. Carlisle murder case
closed tonight and County Attorney r.
B. Allen opened the argument for the
state.
The prosecution apparently scored a
strong point today by expert testimony.
County Attorney Allen called several
of the most prominent physicians of the
city to testify as experts, to whom he
volved in legal and medical phraseol1
ogy, employing fully fifteen hundred
words in the asking, the point desired
to be arrived at being whether, under
the conditions specified in the hypoth-
etical question, they believed Carlisle
was sane when he killed Professor w.
B. Lipscomb in the Central Christian
church on the night of July 10, 1899.
The medical experts all swore that they
believed Carlisle was sane at the time
of the killing. Attorneys for the de-
tense combatted stubbornly against
this theory and asked the experts the
question transposed in
various shapes from the way the coun-
~ attorney asked it, but in every in
stance the experts for the state de-
clared their belief that Carlisle was
sane when he did the killing. a verdict
is hardly expected under two days
time.
