HeroIsm of a Guide.

Prof. Nasse, a well-known Berlir
scientist, with friend and two guides
all roped together, were crossing G
snow bridge in the Alps recently, ,wher
the professor and one guide fell into 9
crevasse, and hung there half an hour
To relieve the intolerable strain, the
leading guide cut the rope above him
and disappeared into the depths. The
Others were then able to pull Nasse
up, but he was dead. The guide who
SO willingly offered his own life was
afterwards found unhurt. Il had to

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS AND fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out Of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Groves its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc.

One Of the disadvantages of search
light on war vessels is the revealing
of the position of the ship, In the
United States navy experiments have
been made with submarine lights,
which were placed we'll below the sur
face of the water, and their rays were
directed slightly upward. AS the light
emerged from the water the observers
on deck could detect any vessel at the
point of emergence, and the search
light could not betray its own source.

For Seasickness.

Brlght-red spectacles, accompanied
by internal doses Of calomel, form a
new German specific against seasick-
ness. 1t is deduced from Epstein's in
vestigation on the influence of color
on the blood vessels in the brain.
Seasickness is due to lack of blood In
the brain, while red sends blood to

are not very well founded. Para rub

WOULD INCREASE NAVY.
United States Should Have Navy
Half Strength of That of England.

II believe that the United States
should have navy whose strength
should be at least half of that of Eng
land" said Representative Dayton, Of
West Virginia, a member of the house
naval committee. "Other countries
are increasing their navies repeatedly,
and the United States cannot afford
to be in the rear of the procession.
We can afford to spend approximately
AS much on the navy as on our army,
and with $1Oo,Ooo,OOO per annum to ex-
pend on the navy we should have one
which should be source of pride and
qualification to every American.
II am believer in battleships. It
is in the battleship the reliance of
the country on the sea must be placed.
1 do not think we should undertake
to force the construction of the navy
beyond the capacity of the American
ship yards, as all our ships should be
constructed at home. In fact, spend
ing money on the navy is good way
to put it in circulation, for all of it
goes to American ship yards or foun-
dries and to American workmen.
"Our great trouble will be in find
ing the officers for the new navy.
am inclined to favor Admiral Crown
inshield's recommendation that there
should for the next ten years be two
cadets at Annapolis for each con-
gressional district and four from the
state at large"

SUICIDES IN ARMY.
Statistics Prepared by Surgeon Gem
eraI Sternberg Show There Is Not
an Alarming Increase.

Surgeon General Sternberg has pre-
pared statistics making a comparison
of cases of suicides and homicides
which occurred in the army during the
years of 1898 and 1899 compared with
the ten years between 1858 and 1897.
1t shows that there were relatively
fewer homicides during those two
years than during the previous decade.
The average number of suicides per
year in an army of 27,116 for the ten
years was II. The ratio per thousand
was .63 per cent. The strength of the
army in 1898 is given at lat, ,795, the av-
erage number of suicides, 3s, and the
percentage per thousand, 80 The
strength of the army in 1899 is given at
,546, and the number of suicides at
80; ratio per thousand, .2s per cent.
During the ten years from 1888 to
1897 the homicides are given at SIS per
cent, and the ratio per thousand, 20
per cent. For 1898 the number of
homicides at 10, and the ratio per thou
sand, .13 per cent; for 1899 the number
of homicides at 29 and the ratio per
thousand, .22 per cent.

KILL AND EAT THE TRADER.
An Account of Snvngery In South Sea
IsInnds-NnrrOw Escape of Boat
Crew-CannibalsP Punished.

The schooner Mascotte, which has
arrived here from the South Seas,
brings tales of cannibalism and the
massacre of blacks on the savage is
lands. For the past two years the
Mascotte has been trading between
the Solomon islands, New Guinea and
New Ireland. Her deck, rails and sails
bear the marks of cannibals' spears
and bullets
The schooner arrived at Kemali, in
the Admiralty group, just after the
murder of Herman Matzke, the trad
ing agent there. This was on August
30. The Mascotte dropped anchor in
the harbor, three canoes shot out
from the land. Capt. Macco and a
boats crew went ashore and found
that the copra house had been looted
and that the traders lone WAS a
wreck. In the yard of he latter q
big pot was still sizzling over the dy-
ing embers of fire and in the pot
were found some of the bones of the
trader.
The cannibals had not gone far.
They had found in the agents house
Is guns, and with these they returned
for Capt. Macco and his crew. A
hasty retreat was made to the schoon-
er and the cannibals potted them
with their stolen guns. Once aboard
the Mascotte the captain turned loose
all the available arms. The bullets
from the savage islanders found
marks in the rails and decks and rid
died the foresail. Capt. Macco
brought into play small gun and the
noise, more than the effectiveness OF
it, scared the cannibals Off The Mas
cote, which is an auxiliary schooner,
then steamed to Kusai, in the Caro-.
lines, and notified the German sloop
of war Zeadler of the murder
Both schooner and warship re.
turned to Komali and the native vii
lagos were shelled. Eighty villages
were destroyed by fire, 16 natives
were killed and 20 were taken pris
oners.
