During the war stories in plenty

and treachery which have imposed
upon British officers charged with
very serious responsibilities. Chang

a consumptive German gentleman ar
rived there with introductions from
influential people in England. The gov
ernor and other officials received him
Hospitality and every consideration
possible was shown him on account of
his health, but, of course. he could not

NOT FOR SALE.
A Young Minister and His Bold stand
Against Pew Holder Who

A young minister, on going to a new
the official brethren that his salary
would be $1,000, and that as every sum-
mer a wholesale liquor leader visited
the town with his family and paid
regularly $50 for pew in the church,
it would be policy for the minister to
touch the liquor question gently, to
avoid giving offense. The reply of the
young man was:
Take $50 off my salary, for l want
to get shot at that pew"
Soon after he fired his shot" but
the recoil of the gun was not so bad
as had been anticipated, for the liquor
dealer. pleased with the young mans
courage, doubled his subscription,
making it 500 instead of $50. Wheth~
er he did this to relieve his conscience
or to quiet the ministeriwe cannot say;
but we are strongly OF the opinion that
the safest thing a preacher of the Cos
pei can do is to tell the truth; and if
there is any man who needs plain
preaching at the present day, it is
the man who deals in Intoxicating
drink and then hires a seat and comes
to church to hear what the minister
has to say about it. 4 man who fails
to tell the truth in the ears of such
nearer will find in The day of judgment
that he has something more serious to
face than the wrath of rumseller or
the loss of his subscription.

Admiral Terry is Kentuckian, and

New York Commercial Advertiser.

About 200 feet just here jenkins

They had already passed out of the

new wonder. A storm blowing
on shore, during the previous night,
had stirred up the muddy bottom at
the river mouth and discolored the
shoal waters. A line of froth marked
the boundary of these yellow shadows
and the deeper waters further out were
distinctly blue beside them. The
tourist remarked the difference to
jenkins.

THE VOICE OF SCIENCE.
Weighty Opinions As to "What Is q
Food and Whether Alcohol
Is u Food.
I. WHAT is A FOOD?


1. II. A. Hammarsten, professor OF
physiological chemistry in Upsala, Uni
versity of Sweden: "Those bodies are
designated as food which have no in
furious action upon the organism, and
which replace those constituents of the
body that have been consumed in the
exchange of material (metabolism) or
that can prevent or diminish the con-
sumption of such constituents"
2. DR.. Gould, compiler of the Medical
Dictionary, defines food as Anything
used for the nourishment of or forma-
ton of tissue" and defines nourish-
ment as Anything that enters into
the formation of living tissue"
3. W. II. Howell as editor of the
American Textbook of Physiology and
professor of physiology in Johns Hop
kins university, defines food thus:
"What we eat and drink for the pur-
pose of nourishing the body constitutes
our food. The food is utilized
to repair the wastes of the body. e.,
the destruction of the body material
which goes on at all times. And
in addition it serves as the source of
heat, mechanical work and other forms
of energy liberated in the body"
II. IS ALCOHOL A FOOD?
1. Robert Hoppe, NJ. D., in an address
before the international Medical con-
gress in Moscow in 1897: "The opinion
that alcohol would be a useful source
of heat energy in the human organism
~, .of ;+, I, ..
not scientifically justified. The consid-
GRAFTON alone that a substance will burn
in our body in no wise justifies its dietic
use as n source of heat and energy
Morphine, as is well known, burns in
our bodies into oXydi-morphin. Hap
PLY, however, it has not yet occurred to
anyone to proclaim morphine, for this
reason, proper source of energy for
the human organism, as is unfortunate
ly done in the case of ethyl-alcohol"
.. Prof H. w. COM, of Wesleyan uni.
versity: "A physicist could expert.
ment with gunpowder and prove that it
is easily oxidized and gives rise to
large amount of heat and energy. From
this it might be argued that gunpow-
ueI Is IL IuOSI uSeIul KIM OF 1ue1 1Or
cooking stoves. Such a conclusion
would be hardly less logical than the
conclusions that have been drawn
| from these experiments with alcohol,
and which regard it as a useful food
| for the body. Gunpowder is a more
unsafe fuel because of its secondary
effects, and in the same way the food
value of alcohol cannot be determined
| by its power of being oXidized, but
must include the consideration of its
secondary effects as we'll"
3. II. T. Hewes, NJ. D., of Harvard,
says of Prof. Atwater's experiments:
| These experiments merely show that
the body can derive some energy
| from alcohol. This does not in itself
entitle alcohol to be placed among the
food substances in the hygienic sense
of the term, which is the sense in
which the schools and people in gen.
eral use the term food. If it did. svc2s
a violent poison as muscarine, the ac-
tive principle of the poisonous plants
of the mushroom family, would have
to be classed with the foods, since it
also is oXidized in the body with lib
Grafton of its contained energy

with detachment of so men and two
brass howitzers, to carry dispatches
and supplies for Admiral Porter.
Of Terry's discharge of these peril
Gus duties, Admiral Porter, in an Of
fetal report to the secretary of the
navy, dated May 4, 1864, commented
most highly on his 21-year-old officer.
President Lincoln promptly ad-
vanced Terry five numbers in the
grade of lieutenants for gallantry and
Admiral Porter appointed him detail
officer on his staff, retaining him in
this capacity until the close of the
war. Terry was with the admiral DUR
ing the operations against Forts Fish
er and Anderson, at the capture Of
Wilmington and through the James
river campaign, participating in the
fall of Richmond and accompanying
President Lincoln into the city the
morning it was occupied by Gen.
Grant.
Terry then had European cruise
on the Ticonderoga, a tour of theo-
retical inspection at Annapolis, served
as executive officer of the fagships
Severn and Worcester, was inspector
of the Maryland lighthouse district,
and finally, in 1881, secured his first
Independent command of a regular
warship, the cruiser Marion, attached
to the South Atlantic.
After tour of shore duty at League
island, Commander Terry was made a
flag officer, a distinction unique in it's
grade, and given command of a train
ing squadron, consisting of the Ports
mouth, the jamestown and the Sara.
toga In 1887 he came to Washington
for board duty for five years. He was
promoted to captain in 1898, and re-
ceived command of the Newark. In
that vessel he was with Admiral Ben
ham at Rio during the Brazilian in
surrection. During the war with Spain
he commanded the receiving ship
Franklin at Norfolk, and, though pc
titioning for a fighting ship, he per-
formed excellent and essential service
in recruiting and manning the active
ships. At the close of the war he
was placed in command of the battle
ship Iowa, and after taking that yes
sci around the Pacific was summoned
to Washington as member of the ex-
aiming board, to be transferred a
few weeks ago to the command of
the Washington yerd.
