OFFICERS Of the army and navy
must learn to control their tongues,
and pens also. They may think
whatever they will, bnt cannot, as
a rule, indulge in the privilege OF
free speech which every other
American enjoys. No doubt Ad-
miral Evans honestly thinks he is
correct in his opinion of the course
of Hon. VIM. f. Chandler. whom
be criticiSeS in his book "a Sail
or's Log" but he seems to have
tranSgreSSed in expressing himself
so freely At any rate, he has been
publicly reprimanded by the Navy
department for doing so 1t seems
hard that brave commander, who
fought so nObly in the Santiago
engagement as 10 win universal
praise, should be subjected to
such public humiliation, but Ad-
miral Evans misfortune seems to
be that he has written a book, and
conId not keep his true opinion ont
of it. However, the free advertiS
ing which the incident has given
his book may be some recompense
to him. "a Sailors Log" Will be
in demand now, by people whose
curiosity is aroused as to what the
admiral said about Mr. Chandler.

The day was when men Of promi-
hence hesitated to give their testimoni-
ais to proprietary medicines for publ
cation. This remains true today Of
most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become SO Justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people Of
high and low stations, that no one
hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
lions are equally represented.
A dignitied representative OF the
Presbyterian church in the person Of
Rev. e. G. Smith does not hesitate to
state publicly that he has used Peruna
in his family and found it cured when
other remedies failed. In this state
ment the Rev. Smith is supported by
an elder in his church.
Rev. e. G. Smith, pastor of the Pres
byterian church of Greensboro, Ca,
writes:
Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth. My little boy
seven years of age had been suffering
for some time with catarrh of the lower
bowels. Other remedies had failed, but

Numerical Excess of Women Not ms
Great as Commonly Supposed.
The census recently completed shows
that the feminine population is in
creasing at a rapid rate in the large
cities and it is predicted that this
country will presently be confronted
by a problem that has worried foreign
statisticians for some time-the pre-
ponderance of women. 1t is admitted
that the women here have the advan-
tage over their foreign sisters in that
many fields of work are open to them
and they can also hold and dispose of
property to an extent unknown on the
other side. So that the American
woman is in great measure econom-
ically Independent of man, and thus
does she escape some of the serious
consequences that affiict the foreign
woman. 1t seems a pity that anyone
at this late day should fall to worry
ing about the superfiuous woman
myth. 1t is such an old, old story, and
one that has times without number
proven to be needlessly disturbing. AS
to the DOGGY of so many women, did it
ever occur to the alarmists to attempt
TO figure how many of these feminine
overplus were widows who persist in
OUTLYING their husbands ten, twenty
or even thirty years and spinsters of
uncertain age? Statistics published
about ten years ago showed that in
London, where the woman population
is greatly in excess of the male, be-
tween the ages of 1S and As the men
were in excess The trouble appears
to be mainly with the women of so
and over, who are much more persist
emit about holding on to life than are
their contemporaries among men,
When women as q class are economic
ally independent the alarmist articles
about the superf1uous woman will
cease, for who would dare to apply to
a bread-winner so opprobrious a title
as superfluous?

EARLY RISING.

Those Who Practice 1t Are Not Healthy.
Wealthy and Wise.
No one has so well hit off the weak
ness of the old-time counsel about
"early to bed and early to rise" as the
late John G. SAKE, unless it was the
great DR.. Arnold of Rugby fame, who
used to say that early rising, though
necessary for schoolmasters, was one
of the few hardships in life which
habit did not make more easy. Re
membering this, it is interesting to find
a writer in a medical journal making
the statement that early rising, when
accompanied with effort, does no one
any good. 1.-THE reason" he says, sis
obvious enough. There may be truth
In the old copy book saying that If
you go to bed at 10 you can get up al
g. but, unfortunately, it does not fol-
low that If you get up at you can
20 to bed at 10. For one thing, you
generally do not want to; for another
the amenities of social life put obsta
cles in your path. And in that case,
of course, early rising merely means in
sufficient Sleep" The fact is that the
amount of sleep needed by person
to maintain good health, like the
amount of food, must be determined
by individual wants and conditions.
Early rising is not per Sc special vir
tue to be cultivated and exhibited on
all occasions. Under certain physical
conditions 1t may be. indeed. the very
tendency most to be avoided.-Leslie's
Weekly.

GERMAN GOOSE.
The National Festive Dish of tho Teu-

Tho National Festive Dish of the Teu-
tonic Race.
The goose holds the same place in
Germany that the turkey does in this
country. 1t Is the standard luxury of
the German people, and during nine
months of the year is the principal dish
at festive, as well as everyday enter
tainments. Every German village has
Its flock Of geese. and numbers are
bred on farms. river banks, ponds, and
yet the home grown supply Is short Of
the demand, which has to be filed by
large importations, mainly from Rus
STA. The season is at its height in Oc-
tober. The receipt of Russian geese
in Berlin during this time averages
about $4,000 daily. A special goose train
of fifteen cars on ordinary days, and
thirty-five to forty cars on Mondays,
brings the birds from the Russian from
tier. The cars are generally built for
the service, and each carries about
l,200 geese. On arrival train is i'm
mediately inspected. The fat geese are
distributed to the dealers, while those
not in condition, which are generally
the majority, are sent to be fattened on
farms and feeding establishments. The
inspection Is rigid. If a single goose
dies or is found with a contagious dis
ease, the whole carload is placed in
quarantine for eight days. If one dies
in this period it is kept in quarantine
another eight days, at cost of about
S416, and so the loss to the owner is so
enormous that the most extreme care
is taken. The purpose of the system
is to make the penalty for trafIicking in
diseased birds so severe as to stamp it
out. Where there Is doubt as to dis
eased condition, the geese are taken
to the city slaughtering pen and killed.
II then they are found to be free from
disease they are sold at auction, this
constituting regular feature of trade
called auction" geese. Geese that
have no trace of disease but have been
injured in transit are called "bracken,"
and are sold to certain dealers, who re-
tail them at reduced prices. The whole
sale traffic of geese in Berlin amounts
annually to 100000. All geese look
alike to the average man, but the Ger
man dealers divide Russian birds into
twenty-one breeds and categories. The
wholesale price of geese ranges from 43
to 60 cents apiece. The Germans have
phrase, the pronunciation of which
reveals the different speech of parts of
the country. The phrase is, Zine quite
