L., page 259.
LET it be remembered" said the
continental congress in addressing the
states at the end of the Revolution.
that it has ever been the pride and
boast of America that the rights for
which she contended were the rights
of human nature"
True statesmen as they were," said
Lincoln, they knew the tendency OF
prosperity to breed tyrants, SO they
established these self-evident truths.
that when, in the distant future, some
men, some faction some interest
should set up the doctrine that mona
but rich men or none but white men,
or none but AngloSaxon white men,
were entitled to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, their posterity
might look up again to the declaration
of independence and take courage to
renew the battle which their fathers
began; so that truth, justice and
mercy and all the humane and Chris
tian virtues might not be extinguished
from the land; so tnat no man would
hereafter dare to limit and circum-
scribe the great principles on which
the temple of liberty was being built"

Minneapolis, Oct. IL, 1899.
Read what Abraham Lincoln
said with regard to these promises

ed to a people for a surrender OF
their liberties.
Mr.. Lincoln, in a speech at Chi
cago, ILL.,, July 10, 1858, spoke as
follows:
"ThOSe arguments that are made
that the inferior race are to be
treated ,Dith as much allowance as
they are capable of enjoying; that
as much Is to be done for them as

COST OF MILITARISM.
Two Hundred Millions for the Army;
Seventy-Five Millions for the
Navy Is What McKin-
ley Wants.
DEMANDS ARMY OF 100000 MEN.

We are at last to know what we are
to pay for our experiment in imperial
ism.
The Washington government has
made its demand. 1t demands an army
of 100000 men and 1t wants $780, 00,
900 for the next year to support It's
pretensions.
The navy department wants SIS, 000,-
600. The end is far away. This is
only the beginning of what American
taxpayers may expect.
the end of the fiscal year, June 30,
1902. congress will be asked to appro-
pirate more than $200,000,O0O. The
war department Is estimating on the
basis of 100000 men.
Under the present law all volun-
teers and regulars in excess Of about
10000 men must be discharged before
July 1. 1901, and Quartermaster-Gen
eral Ludington is making arrange
ments for the transportation home Of
the volunteers, beginning next month.
1t will be necessary to recruit regi-
ments to take the place of the volun-
teers in case more troops are author
lied, and when they are ready for ac-
tive service they must be transported
to Manila.
The pay of the army will be what
was estimated for the current year
s47 900 900. There will be heavy bill
for clothing, medical and hospital
stores, ordnance, ordnance stores and
supplies and regular supplies for the
quartermaster's department. The es-
innate made by Commissary-General
Weston for subsistence stores for the
current fiscal year was S11 ,112,242, and
this will be exceeded.
Secretary Roots estimate for the
military establishment for the current
year aggregated s128, 170,5SS, and it
will undoubtedly be larger for the next
fiscal year.

MONUMENT TO A DOG.
In Memory OF Barry. Rescuer of Forty
Parsons.

In Memory OF Barry. Rescuer OF Forty
Persons.
Considerable human interest Is be-
ing found by the Italian press in the
ceremonies that recently attended the
erection of a monument on the Noun
lain of st. Bernard, to the memory OF
h famous dog belonging to the convent
there. Barry was the dogs name, and
in ten years he saved the lives of for
ty persons who had lost their way on
the glaciers of Mount st. Bernard.
What is considered his most remark
able achievement was performed about
three years ago, when he found child
ten years old lying in the snow under
the influence Of the fatal slumber
which precedes death. Barry, with
curious comprehension of the needs of
the situation, first warmed the child
with his breath, and then aroused 1t
from sleep by licking its face. This
much accomplished, Barry, by lying
down by its side, gave the child an
obvious invitation to get on and ride.
The child did so and was carried by
Barry to the convent. This episode,
like his other achievements, is rec
orded at the convent, and to the truth
of it's circumstances several witnesses
have subscribed. The death of the
dog was due to the timidity or ras-
cality of some unknown man who per-
haps fancied that Barry was APP
preaching him with evil intent. The
stranger killed the dog by hitting it
on the head. These two events in the
career of the useful animal are COM
memorated on the monument, which
represents in bas relief the st. Der,
nard carrying child on its back.
while underneath is the following in
scription: Berry, the Heroic, Saved
the Lives of Forty Persons and Was
Killed by the Forty New York
Times.

Car Riding for Insomnia.

PEELED to stay down town late use the

Baltimore Sun the other night, "but
you would be surprised to know that
one night during the recent hot spell
i carried twenty passengers with me
during my four trips. They got on at
different points along the line, prin-
cipally In the southeastern section,
and made the trips from Highland
town to Roland Park. 1t was comical
to see them perched In the corner of
a seat. snoozing away. One fellow
told me it was the first real sleep he
had had for a week. We get as nice,
cool morning air as anybody, and this
was the reason that twenty rode all
night. That was the first time ever
noticed anybody ride for four hours
but we often have a passenger who
makes round trip out to Roland
Park and back. One man said he al
ways could sleep better after a car
ride" Reputable physicians agree
that late street car rides for insomnia
sufferers are excellent.

emphasizes this feeling.
Frank j. Zeller. Is Chief Of the

among his fellow railway men, and
one of the best known Engineers run

nouncement was made short time
ago that Frank was pretty sick, 1t
caused great deal of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from
his engine, having had to clay off"
on account of his back A brother Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-

had been pulled through. called to see
Mr. Zeller, and in a brotherly way,

A CLEAN SHAVE.
The Sanitary Barber L, Next on tho
Iist

-s
List.
The question OF strict regulations
for barber shops has received much
attention by sanitarians, but only In
a few instances have the health au-
thorities had the moral courage to
adopt and enforce rules which must
of necessity meet with great opposi-
ton, and in many instances bring
ridicule upon those who promulgated
them. In fact, remarks tho Phlladel-
phia Medical Journal. even the medi-
cal profession, represented In the
Americal Health Association. is not
averse to enjoy little tilt at the ex-
lpense of one OF its members who per-
ennially hammers away at this subject
with commendable persistency. Bar
bars and hairdressers are public ne
,cessities, and the public hasa right to
insist that their work be performed
according to sanitary principles. Any
one who patronizes barber whose
establishment is open to all comers
runs great risk of becoming infected
with diseases from the razor, shaving
brush, scissors, clippers, comb or hair
brush having been used previously on
a sick or convalescent person, espe-
cially those suffering from diseases OF
the skin or scalp. BARRIERS and hair
dressers should be required to wash
their hands with soap and use a nail
brush Immediately after attending to
customer; the razor, clipper or scis.
sors should be dipped In boiling water
or disinfecting solution, while the
use of the shaving brush should be
entirely abolished and wads of wood
cotton substituted. To the general
practitioner the necessity OF such re-
strictions Is self-evident, but the gem
eral public needs instruction. Such
instruction, however, Is slow and in
effective unless obligatory rules are
enacted, making 1t sort of compul-
sorry education. 1t Is stated by med
ical authority who has made this sub
Ject one of his life objects that he
once treated a man who was covered
with specific eruptions, and that the
patient went from the doctors Office
directly to the barber. AS this also
happened to be the doctors barber the
lightning struck home.

WOODEN SHOES.
Foreign Footwear Il Much In Demand
for Certain vocation..

The person who limits the use OF
the wooden shoe. In his mind, to the
native OF Holland and the Dutch
comedian would be greatly surprised IL
he could appreciate to what extent the
foreign footwear Is used in the United
States. Especially is this the case
when the larger cities are considered.
Surrounding Chicago, for instance, are
many farms which are worked by i'm
migrants from the Netherlands. where
the shoes are immensely popular in
the wet and swampy parts OF the coun-
try. owing to their imperviousness
to water. Both men and women find
employment tilling the soil, planting.
wedding and doing all the other little
stunts which fill the markets with po-
tatoes and cabbages and such things.
They have been used to wearing wood
en- shoes in the old country. They
cannot get accustomed to the leather
shoes. They don't want to get accus-
toned to them, in fact. They would
rather slip on the sabots, In which
they can splash through mud and
water II need be without danger OF
wet feet. Not all wearers of the wood
en- shoe are to be found in the fields,
however. Men in a few odd vacations
have discovered that the old wooden
shoes are better for some purposes
than their more pretentious cousins OF
calf or cowhide. In work which keeps
man in very hot place, such as
stocking In big furnace room, the
wooden shoes are said to be far pref
cradle to leather foot coverings. Not
only are they easier on the feet. but
they do not dry up and crack and
wither away In the heat as the shoes
from the American factories do. Wood
is slow conductor of heat, compared
with leather, and the excessive thick
ness of the wooden soles allows the
stokers who wear them to stand and
walk for hours on a floor so hot the
hand could scarce be borne upon It,
and yet their feet do not feel the ex-
cessive heat. In slaughter houses. too
where the floors are slippery and Shiny
with blood, the wooden shoes are APP
preciated. Leather shoes rot very
rapidly and in day or SO the blood
and moisture seeps through their
seams and makes things unpleasant
and unhealthy. The wooden shoes are
SO heavy and thick that 1t would take
year for the stuff to wet them
through, and SO the wise butchers
wear them.

HivALvE.s ENEMY.
Curious way starash Dsvoun an
Oyster.


The oyster when at home lives In
a hard lime shell which nicely pro-
tects him from the attacks Of enemies.
Man, with his tools. can open the shell
and remove the soft animal. but be-
sides man the oyster has few foes.
oddly enough, his greatest foe is not.
as might be expected. an animal with
n powerful jaw and strong teeth, put
one wholly without jaws. 1t is the
common starfish, so common every
where at the seashore. Now, the star
fish is a soft, flexible creature, very
Sluggish, seemingly helpless and ut
terly unable to attack such an animal
as the oyster. Its mouth, which IL
the center of the disk, has no teeth
Or Jaws. How can such helpless
creature open the formidable oystet
Shell and get at the animal concealed
within? Its method Of doing so ~

exactly what happens next even our
scientists do not exactly know. The
two shells Of the oyster are held to-
gether by hinge which is opened by
a spring. The spring is so adjusted
that the shells will be pushed open
unless they are held together by the
muscles. Some scientists tell us that
after the starfish has held the oyster
for awhile the oyster opens its she'll
in order to get food, and the starflsh
that has been waiting for this now In
5ects into the shell little reddish
liquid This acts as a poison, says H.
U. Conn, in ST. Nicholas, paralyzing
the muscles and thus making 1t I'M
possible for the animal to close its
thells tightly together until the oyster
IS smothered. AS soon as 1t is stupe-
fed by the suffocation the muscles re-
lax and the shell opens. Whichever
of these two accounts is true 1t Is
certain that after little the oyster
shells fly open. Now comes the oldest
feature of all. The stomach of the
starfsh Is very large and elastic, and
it is now thrown out of the animals
mouth much as one would turn bag
inside out. This stomach is then
thrust within the oyster shell and
wrapped around the soft animal, be-

to remove the oyster from its shell,
