he accumulated about $3.50, 900 he sold out
and started to travel and have a good

MISCELLANEOUS.
STRENGTH FROM THE WILL.

The soldier is so often looked upon as
being the embodiment of strength,
health, and activity that it nay be some
thing new to learn that many celebrated
generals have as boys been anything but
robust ". noted for the virtues just men,
tionedl.
Lord Roberts is the most signal ex-
ample of this. As a lad he was so deli
cate that when he went out to India on
his first voyage there as a soldier it was
generally supposed by his most intimate
friends and relatives that his life would
necessarily be short, so pale n delicate
was he. We have several independent
accounts of how the crew of the ship and
some of his messmates pitied the tender
looking Anglo-Indian n p%rophesied
that ar early grave would be his. But
the Indian climate, his native climate,
too, set him and worked wonder in him.
The duke of Wellington was not at all
strong when a lad, and his mother was
often much concerned about his health,
At Elton he got the reputation of being
rather a silent, taciturn. somewhat
youth. But it is generally believed now
that this was as much due to his delicate
health as to any individual character
istic of his own temperament.
Arthur Wellesley could not stand the
knocking about and rough-and-tumble
life that some of his Elton friends enjoyed
at that time, and they We're not slow to
make him aware of the fact.

be much of a curiosity, so when an ARR
iona man appeared with a pair on his
feet he attracted some attention. A
prominent cattleman of the land of cac-
tus and hot sands who is in the city nev-
err wears any other shoes. The uppers
are regular Indian-tanned buck; the soles
are of sole-leather, and he says they are
just like Il stocking to the feet. Although.
is supposed to be a lasting ma
terial, buckskin shoes cannot be worn in
the wet, and they would not do in the
plowfield or the harvest field. The buck
skin came from a deer he killed in the
Arizona mountains, and he paid $40 to
have the two pairs of shoes made. He
thinks people who box their feet up in
stiff calfskin are missing Il whole lot Of
ease and comfort in life.

known even thai before the siege. was
Utmost given up when a boy. so poor
was his general health. q
His destined career had to be changed
for no other reason h a that his health
would not standi it, and he had to go out
to the Cape in order to seek that health
which seemed to be denied him in En-
gland. Happily he found it there, and
FOUND, too, at h same time; so hes at
n rate, can not now bemoan his fate.
Mcguire found at the Cape a man still
more influential than he himself vas to
become, a man who also had to leave En-
gland and the prospect of being a cler-
gyman owing to his weak state of health.
This man had once been intended for a
parson. like his father, and would have
perhaps ended his days as a country
vicar had not bad health stepped in and
made him give up that idea and set o.
for Cape Colony. Then his health be-
came renewed and today the whole world
knows Cecil Rhodes almost as well as II
knows anybody. @
Rhodes may be called a SOLDIER as
regards fighting, for, though not a mill
tary man by profession, he was always
willing to take any share Of fighting that
came along his way, and his advice to
doubtful Britons during the late CRISIS
In Kimberley, to "be like me and sit
tight" will not be readily forgotten :.
D. AALNCIOCh was llcVcf very Strung dNu
as a boy he was decidedly on the dark
side of health Even when a ma his pale
face was a general subject of remark
among his followers. But they all new
his worth and courage when the time of
trial came.
Perhaps no civilian in this century was
more a born fighter than was Lord By
ron had he been able to become a real
soldier, but he was kept back from that
by his deformity and by constant bad
health. Yet he went forth manfully to
help the Greeks in their struggles for in
dependence against the Turks and per-
ished at Missolonghi.
The present kaiser mas never been a ro-a'
bust man, and as a lad was still more
delicate. His deformed arm always gave
him much trouble in affecting his gen.
eral health, especially in his younger
years. But he has, by his splendid reso.

slant bad health, n today he is a fight

a war Of humanity and not one Of con-
quest. The solemn faith of the country
was pledged to retire from Cuba as soon
as the Spaniards were driven out and
the country pacified This pledge had
not ben fulfilled. Porto Rico had come
to US by the consent of her people.
They had welcomed our generals with
open arms, yet the Porto Ricans were
treated not as citizens, but as subjects
of an empire. Taxation without
representation had been forced upon
them. Had Congress foreseen that
the Philippine islands would have come
to Us as result of the Cuban war the
same declaration would have been
made in regard to them that was made
in regard to Cuba. Instead of estab-
fishing peace in the Philippines the ad-
rninlstration had entered upon a bloody,
cruel war Of conquest, in which
people struggling for liberty were being
subjected to merciless war of crimi-
nal aggregation. The Philippine war
is not one Of which this country could
be proud. The reading Of the plank
in the platform in relation to the Phil
ippine war evoked an outburst of en-
thuslasm which continued for twenty
minutes. There was no contention in
the Democratic ranks that the United
States should Immediately withdraw
from the Philippines, leaving the is
lands in state of anarchy. but there
was demand that the Filipinos be
permitted to establish stable govern
ment Of their own and that the United

A Winter Danger-HOt Rooms.

While it is true that there are dan.
gers and discomforts from extreme
cold it is also true that there is much
sickness and suffering caused in win
ter by overheated rooms, cars, etc,
than from the cold. As a matter of
fact, nearly all except those who lead
an out door life spend the winter in
an atmosphere that is warmer than
the average summer temperature.
This is mostly due to the fact that
there is want of control of the arti-
fetal heat that is used for warming
our houses, and in some cases for
for hours at time no fresh, cold air
Is admitted, and no regulation of the
supply OF heat. The occupant, be.
coming gradually used to the increase
In temperature, does not notice il,
and the breathing of the hot air goes
on, the system becoming relaxed from
the oppressive heat while the Q ou.
pant may be under great mental or
physical strain, and, as a result of
tins, there is prevalence of sickness.
including feyers of various kinds, and
people come to the end of winter
greatly weakened and debilitated in.
stead of being strengthened, as should
be the case, from the exhilarating,
stimulating winter atmosphere. Tn s
may be to a certain extent charged TO
carelessness on the part of servants
and those in charge of heating appIi-
ances, and this has led to the study
OF mechanical methods of regulating
the heat supply. Among the most
effective appliances we know of is
what is known us the Powers aulo-
matte temperature regulator; this
can be applied directly to the heating
apparatus. and when the temperature
in any given room reaches the point
desired the draughts will be SO regu-
lated as to reduce the heat effectual.
ly, and on q change of temperature
in the room the heat supply will be
increased not only this. but it can
be applied to the radiators for steam
and hot water heating, or to registers
for hot air heating in any special
room, as in office buildings, etc, so
that each can control the heat Of
their own apartments.
Another great source of discomfort
and menace to health is the atmos-
phere OF the cars. II is an exception
TO enter a railway ear and find the
temperature just right. II is either
much too cold or much TOO warm,
md the sources Of ventilation are u.s.
ially very inadequate; but this appli.
'nce. which is now being used on
some OF the best trains, overcomes
his, as ii is placed in the middle Of
he car and regulates the supply OF
