French Military Authorities Issue New
Canteen Regulations.
A Paris dispatch says: A very important
decision has been promulgated by the min
lister of war, Gen. the Marquis de Gallifet.
and one which is particularly noteworthy
in country like France, where the con-
sumption of brandy and so-called "aperi-
tifs," such as absinthe and vermouth, IL
so prevalent. 'aperitif hour" between 6
and Z pm, being regular institution in
France, and especially in Paris.
For some time leading medical men have
been strongly condemning the practice, de-
claring that the chief brandy and alcoholic
connections sold as 'aperitifs' are rapidly
filling the iunatic asyiums of the country.
Recently number of military chiefs pro-
hibited the sale of such drinks in the bar
racks and camps under their command.
Gen. de Gallifet now comes out with a de-
cree making this prohibition general
throughout the French army. No brandy
or other spirits and no so-called "aperitif''
may henceforth be sold. although wine,
beer and cider are still allowed as innocu-
Gus beverages.
Gen. de Gallifet says this decision is taken
not only for the sake of uniformity In army
regulations, but in order to extend to the
entire army a beneficent measure which
should not be confined to certain corps.

FOR PNEUMATIC TUBE SERVICE.
Bill Reported by Senate Committee

Senator Wolcott has reported the post
office appropriation bill from the Senate
committee on post offices and post roads.
The net increase in the bill is about 81, OO0,-
600, which includes the restoration of the
provision for the pneumatic tube service
first reported by the House committee. 1t
provides s225.000 for continuing the present
contracts and adds $500, 1000 for extension
OF the service to other cities in addition to
those where it has not been in use
The following amendment has been made
to the provision relating to letter carriers:
Provided that letter carriers may be re-
CURED to work as nearly as practicable only
in any event exceeding forty-eight hours
during the six working days of each week;
and such number OF hours Sunday not
exceeding eight, as may be required by the
needs of the service; and If legal holiday
shall occur on any working day the service
performed on said day, If less than eight
hours. shall be counted as eight hours with
out regard to the time actually employed"

to secure it. This will be the position of The
democratic party upon this question
Imperialism always means a transgres-
sion upon some one. Neither our govern
ment nor that of any other country can
sweep away the sovereignty of conquered
people and substitute its own sovereignty
for it without violating the laws of God and
man. I hold exactly the same views on
the money question 1 always have held.
1 do not think the great body Of dem
ocrats have changed any more than I have.
and there Is no occasion for the desertion
OF any great truth that makes up the DEM
ocrauc code of principles.
Il think that Ohio is much more likely to
go democratic this year than is Nebra ska
ever likely to go republican again. 1 am
sure that the signs of the times are very
much more favorable to democratic success,
and both press and people are considering
the democratic doctrine more kindly this
year than they did in 1896"

The discovery of gold in Alaska and the
northern reaches of the Dominion opened
not only new field for the feverish activi-
ty of man, but it revealed rare literary pos
sibilities. The atmosphere breathes TRACE
dy, romance suffering, success, failure all
in accentCated measure. The author of
these nine short stories of the frozen region
has caught the spirit of the desolation the
comradeship, the heroism which the ee-
ments of the far north develop. The
tales deal less intimate with gold digging
than with the social features of the Klon-
dixie life. The problem Of inter-raciai mar
riages is treated artistically.

reprinted from the Third English edition. Re-
vsed by the author. Illustrated New York:

Few people ever think of amber as a
gem To most 1t Is a bauble. a bit of
ossified resin serving a modern purpose in
aid of smokers. with occasional medic
inal and certain anthropological in
terest illustrating the shift of jewelry
taste among the races of the earth. Mr..
Buffum has thrown a refreshing light upon
the gem. however. by revealing it's true
worth and depicting some of the beautiful
colors in which amber is found. Indeed
the reader soon catches the spirit of his en-
thusiasm for this unique material and
longs for a specimen of the lovely Sicilian
amber which displays such gorgeous tones
and soft lights. The study of amber car
ries the Investigator into the days of the
early Phoenician traders, who so shrewdly
covered their lines of commerce with tales
of monsters and horrid dangers. 1t sends
the student into the geological periods.
when the pine trees of another age exuded
their great drops of gum that were styled
by the ancients the tears of the Heliades,
sisters Of the unhappy Phaethon, who
rashly essayed to drive the chariot of the
sun and succeeded in firing the earth
through his incapacity to hold the fiery
animals. The most fascinating legends
hover around the sun stone and Mr..

geological and artistic history of this gem
