Young Harry had often expressed a
desire to lead the life of soldier. and
in Keeping with this idea his father
mad enjoined upon him the need OF
hearing pain with fortitude and maxi
ing light OF the trivial injuries that
commonly drive children to tears. One
day' however. when climbing a wall a
stone fell upon his foot with such force
as to seriously bruise it. and as he
limped toward the house the tears
rushed unbidden to his eyes. AS he
neared the door he saw his father hur-
riedly approaching, whereupon he cried
out: 1T isn't me that's crying, pa.
It's Just my eyes!''-Richmond Dis

The great burden Of the worlds
present armament cannot always be
borne. but must be endured until CIV
ilized nations stop and think. The ma
tions must disarm or starvc. The timc
is coming when the money expended
for war purposcs will be invested In
improvements that will pay dividends
and at the same time uplift the human
race. A debt incurred for public util-
tiles that have market value is no
burden. Tho cities Of Lewiston and
Auburn built five miles OF railroad to
connect with the Grand Trunk. and
leased the road to the Grand Trunk
for ninety-nine years. The cost Of the
road is debt on the two cities. but 1t
Is no burden to the people. because the
Grand Trunk assumes the burden.
Since the road was built the two cities
have nearly doubled in business and
population. which has increased the
value OF the road. and this increasing
value reverts to the two cities. It is
In the power Of the trusts to make this
country the worlds workshop. to give
all our people opportunity of profita-
BILE employment and upl!ft the stand
ard OF living OF all the low grade peo-
pies OF the earth. Our capacity to pro-
duce bread and meat Is almost unlim-
tied. We have the raw materials of
textile and metal products in abund-
ance. Our mines Of coal and iron are
lnexhaustible and easy Of access. Our
railroads are expanding. Our labor
saving machinery is all the time being
improved. We can reach the markets
OF the world from two coasts. When

While you are waiting for the phy-

animals therbivorous animals), and
natures food for herbivorous animals

hydrates and fats. with water and such
inorganic salts as are necessary con-
!stituents OF the tissues of the organ
ism which uses them for food. This Is
natures definition OF food. We may
call 1t Gods definition. This kind Of
food always nourishcs and strengthens
the body without injuring It. II builds
new tissue and repairs waste. Through
Its slow oxidation. heat and mechan-
ical energy are liberated in such way
as to be always advantageous to the
system. Teach them. with all assur-
ance. that alcohol is a narcotic poison.
large doses of which may prove fatal:
that small doses. as taken in habitual
moderate drinking. may apparently
have no immediate effect. but that such
use OF alcohol. even II It should not
lead to its excessive use, is almost sure
TO weaken the resistance OF the system
against disease. and by It's direct in

The 81. InuIa strike.

st. Louis, May 9.-Thc second day of
the great street railway strike was not
marked by the turbulence and rioting
OF yesterday. though the day closed

Far from relieving the situation.
however, this demonstration had no

IL Alcohol u Fond.

Robert Hoppe. NJ. D.. in an address
before the international medical con-
gress In Moscow in 1897, said: "The
opinion that alcohol would be a use
ful source Of heat energy in the human
organism in consequence Of its COM
bnstibility is not scientifically iusti-
ned. The consideration alone that +,
substance will burn in our body in no
wise justiiies its dietic use as a source
OF heat energy. Morphine, as is we'll
known. burns in our bodies into oxvdi.
morphin. Happily. however. It has not
yet occurred to any one to proclaim
morphine for this reason n proner
source OF energy for the human organ
Ism. as is unfortunately done in tho
case OF ethyl-alcohol."
Prof. ii. w. Conn of WESLEYAN mi
versity says: "A physicist could ex-
pertinent with gunpowder and prove
that 1t is easily oxidized and gives rico
TO large amount of heat and energy
IRON this it might be argued that
gnnpowder is a most useful kind of fual
for cooking stoves. Such a conclusion
would be hardly less logical than the
conclusions that have been drawn from,
these experiments with alcohol ana
which regard it as a useful food ,on

An eminent physician lately called
attention to the important part wars
have taken In hospital development.
He declared that the Crimean war de-
veloped the trained nurse and the

war. medical men learned that small
hospitals. and even hospital tents. are
better than large enclosed structures
for the sick and wounded. To the
knowledge thus gained II due the pa

but to the Introduction OF antiseptic
