Rejected Recruits.


Within the year thousands OF pa
list as soldiers to fight the battles OF
the republic. But before uncio Sam
will allow his uniform on them. and
entrust the nag OF our country in their
hands. he insists that they show them
selves sound in body. weaklings he
cannot trust. Stout hearts alone must
he have. This present examination OF
thousands of men in the prime OF
manhood. says the Epworth Herald.
has astonishcd the army medical eS-
amincrs. They say that. outside OF
one cause. there are fewer reflections
on account OF physical defect than was
the case In the examinations OF men
for the war of 1S6l-65. And yet II Is
a grim fact that they are rejecting
nearly three times as many in proper
tion as in those years. And this is the
cause.-the cigarette.
OF habitual cigarette smokers who
present themselves for enlistment. not
one in ten is found to have heart

ceptable as one OF Uncle Sans SOL

delphia. who acted as an examining
surgeon during 1s6i-65 in New York.
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. says
that the average reflections during
those years did not exceed 13 per cent
He attributes the large increase utmost
entirely to the cigarette habit. II
have been inspecting the papers in
number of cases under the present re-
cruiting act." said DIR. King. Il had
expected that the percentage of rcjec-
tions would be greater now than in
1861. but did not dream that 1t would
be almost three times as great. Tho
examining physicians with whom I
have talked generally told me that tho
excess of reflections is due to the large
number OF young men applying for en-
listment who have become victims OF
the cigarette habit" Have a cigar

The European financial market Is
having depressing effect on the price
OF wool In this country. though the
depression Is not yet enough to be felt
heavily as yet. The Bank Of France
refuses all wool paper. the natural In
ference being that n slump in the Eu-
ropcan wool market Is feared. As a
result It is not easy to get money 10
help to hold wool and the present
holders are forced TO part with It A
great deal has already been sent to
this country. A report from Boston
says that the receipts Of foreign wool
are three times what they were last
year. while up to date the receipts Of
domestic wool were not more than one
fourth what they were last year at the
end Of May.

The best Of order was maintained in
the immense audience, although the
enthusiasm at times was at consider
able height especially in the stirring
climaxes when the champion appeared
in the nick of time to save the day
and rescue the good and the brave.
The play is of course got up to set
