Though he may be total abstainer
no man can truly claim to be a real
temperance advocate while he does
nothing to protect his neighbor from
the woes oi strong drink.
No honor belongs to the city or gov
ernment that is willing to share in the
profits oi the liquor business. Its pros
perity is blood-bought, and will some
day have to- be exchanged for the woe
that is pronounced upon him that
"buideth town with blood. and cstab-
lisheth city with iniQuity."
Selections.
An honest. aggressive campaign
against thc saloon entered into by
all Christians, would cost the
Christian lawyer many rich client;

would lost some OF his votes. But it
would pay! Yes, il right pays, and

Secessary to warfare and, Although
Hazardous, II Is Lucrative.

Hazardous. It Is Lucrative.
From the London Mail The word
spy" has an ugly sound owing
% its many unpleasant associations,
yet in war times spies afford an army
aid which is as valuable as 1t is highly
enumerated. One of the maxims OF
commanding officers, in book for
their guidance written by Lord Wolse-
ley, is that successful spy must be
petted and made much of. The man
agement of spies is very difficult. Out
Of every ten employed by an officer
commanding war district he Is for
tunate II one gives him truthful in
formation. II is a most important
thing that spies should not be known
TO each other. Great care is generally
taken by officers that each spy shall
imagine that he Is the only that Ia en-
ployed. II Is very necessary that all
bona-fide spies should have about their
persons some means of proving them
selves really to be what they represent
themselves. For this purpose n coin
of a certain date, Bible OF n certain
edition, testament with the seventh
Of fifteenth leaf torn out are generally
employed. BY their means a spy who
was employed in neutral state, max
ing his way to the headquarters OF the
army in the field, could thus make
himself known to the intelligence de-
partment there. In some instances 1t
is considered that a sign or password
should be employed. as 1t is less com
promising. The putting up Of the
right hand to the ear and then to the
left ear, or some such gesture, is gen.
orally employed. The more extensive
the ramifications of the system the bet
ter are the chances for escaping detec-
tion. 1t Is very necessary that officers
of the intelligence department should
be provided with specially prepared
paper, upon which letters can be writ
ten in ink that does not become visible
until it has been subjected to some
chemical process. 1t is also necessary
that letter in ordinary ink should in
variably be written on the same paper
containing the information that 1t is
required to keep secret Although a
spy runs the great risk of immediate
death IL he is detected, yet the service
is not without glory at times, and 1t is
certainly extremely lucrative.

MUSICAL PITCH.
A Matter That Is of Importance to

Matter That Is of Importance to
Singers.
The question is once more being
raised in this country OF the desira-
bility OF uniform musical pitch. says
Chambers Journal. Some years ago
the Philharmonic society, in London,
decided to lower the pitch of its or
chestra to that universal on the con-
tinent; and. although there was some
confusion at first, the wisdom of that
movement is now acknowledged. The
great bar to the common adoption of
the lower pitch is that it's acceptance
would render necessary the provision
Of new instruments of the various mill
tary bands throughout the country.
and the alteration. at great expense,
Of organs. both in concert halls and
in churches. Pianoforte manufacturers
have hitherto held a neutral position
in this matter of alteration of pitch
but now. on the initiative of Messrs.
Broadwood & Sons, they are nearly all
expressing their willingness to adopt
the lower pitch, provided that the
movement is general one. The exact
pitch of a sound can be accurately
measured by its number of vibrations
per second; thus, the old pitch would
mean for the note A a piano wire CIV
ing 454 vibrations at a temperature OF
GS degrees Fahrenheit. while the lower
pitch which it is proposed to adopt this
autumn would mean only 439 vibra-
tions for the same note. The matter is
one of great Importance to singers.
who have now to strain their voices
in order to reach a higher altitude
than that intended by the composer
whose works they interpret, for those
compositions were written when the
pitch was lower than now to be adopt
ed as the standard.

the number OF wolves killed was 1916

The Boer Is no mean fisherman.

says the London Mail. Very fine sort,
indeed, may be had in any of the
streams north of the Orange river. The
only tackle required consists of the
usual coarse flshhooks and a strong
rod. On the authority of Mr.. Roland
Trimen, f. L. s., and curator of the
Cape Town museum, 1t may be stated
that no less than fourteen different
fresh water fish, varying from a bar
Der of seventy pounds to the culper, or
burrowing perch, of less than q quar-
ter of pound weight, exist in the
Transvaal streams, the latter being the
only fresh water fish of the country
known to take a fly. The most COM
mon specimens, however, are the twen-
ty-pound yellow tail and a thirty-five
pound nondescript sort of fish which
merely require hooking and hauling
out with an ordinary cod line. From
the Orange river southwark the fresh
water fishing is very poor, but farther
north the rivers and vleis are general
ly well stocked. Even lakes which are
only filed with water during the rainy
season are often stocked with fish,
which preserve life, when the bottom
is dry, by burrowing deeply in the
ooze before 1t h2rdens, and coming

TAMMANY must turn green with envy
at the money there is in politics" in Mon
tana. In the fight over the location of the
capital 100000 was spent by the friends
of Helena, and from $3.50 900 to S45O, 900
by the partisans Of Anaconda. VIM. R.
Clark spent $4,000 to carry the Demo
cratic Convention against Marcus Daily.
Daily admits to have spent S25, 900 so far
In his efforts to unseat Clark, but it is said
that the actual amount is over 500, 900,
besides the $4,000 given to Frederick
Whiteside, to be shown as money given by
Clark for a vote. AS to how much Clark
has spent to get and keep his seat imagina-
ton reyels on a solid basis of well-known
facts. Few put the figure at much less
than S1,OO0,O00. Remember that Mon
tana is not an old, populous and wealthy
city, like New York, but a young, un-
developed State, with but 132,159 popula-
ton at the last census.

missioner of Pensions. Now is the time

without friction. The question is present

ment, and Henry Clay Evans has made
his. Every Post has in it and around it a

what it knows Of its own knowledge. TIE

IN SOUTH AFRICA.


The British have occupied Pretoria
without any fight to speak of, and now
the Boer capital is on wheels. This would
not be such an important matter. for sue
the political headquarters perambulating
about the country to avoid the enemy. But
the loss of Pretoria involves that of about
all the country worth fighting for. Pre-
toria and Johannesburg give complete con-
troll of the mining country, with all its I'M
mcnse investments and rich products. All
that the Beers have left to them is 4
stretch of more or less valuable prairie,
suitable for grazing purposes. They talk
Of maintaining a guerrilla war, but this
does not seem likely. If they would not
do this up in the mountains, where the
country favored them and they had every
thing to fight for, they are not likely to do
it in the open veldt, when there is nothing
particularly to gain. At the same time it
must be confessed that they are showing
more enterprise and snap than at any pre-
vious period since Roberts got after them,
and have cut his communications in n
most serious way. Why they did not do
this months ago has been the most amaz-
ing thing to an American veteran. Rob
erts has now behind him nearly 500 miles
of single-track railroad through a hostile
plies and rcinforccmcnts. 1t is beyond eX-
PLANTATION why this has not been cut very
often. Roberts has now three courses
open to him. He can restore his cOmmuni-
cations to the south, which will probably
not be very difficult, but involve the use
of q great number of men to guard them
and keep them open. He can advance to
the southeast, meet Butler, and open up
much shorter lines to the coast, or he can
push cut due cast along the line leading
from Pretoria to Lorenzo Marques. His
action will probably depend on the guam
tity of supplies he may have. 1t was pre-
sumed that the Beers had laid up an i'm
mcnse store of supplies in Johannesburg
and Pretoria, but no mention is made Of
capturing these. 1t is also very singular
that Roberts has reported no important
capture of cannons and prisoners. This
would imply that the Boer retreat was
very deliberate and orderly. If they had
time to haul off their big Krupp cannon,
they may have also hauled off their stores.
