The effect Of the investigation by Congress
into hasins at West Point appear. already
TO have passed away. Two members OF
Congress. Senator DIETRICH and Con ngress-
man STARK. both OF Nebraska, have an
nounccd their intention to support HENRY
l.. BowLBr Of their State In his violation
OF his word and Of the regulations. Senator
DIETRICH says he will have BowLBy sent
back to the Academy; Mr. SrARK says he
will appoint him TO the vacancy caused by
his dismissal Yet probably both Of these
statesmen will wonder in future years why
hazing Is not stamped out at the Military
Aca deny. and like some of their fellow Con-
gressmen. advocate the closing Of the school
as the only way to end the custom. II is
greatly to be hoped. for the reputation Of
the Senator and the Congressman. that they
may change their minds before they put
their threats into effect. Enough evil has
been done to discipline in the army by tho
ill-advised Interference Of Congressman.
With our larger army. and the larger number
Of officers. there is less room for clemency
In cases like that Of BowLBY. and every
use Of such power as Congressman STARK

AN ECCENTRIC DINER.
The Tall story That IL Told of a Pa
rfsfan Gourmet.

The Tall Story That Ii Told OF q Pa
rIsian Gourmet.
Paris is par excellence the city of
gourmets and cranks, and many a
story concerning them has added to the
gayety of the nations. Here is one
Of the latest, told by well known
French head waiter: One of the regu-
lar customers of a famous Partisan
restaurant used TO be short, thin,
shy and shabblly dressed man whose
name no one knew, but who gave outs
that he was a butter dealer, for which
reason he was called the butter man at
the restaurant in question
He ate next to nothing, but his soup
tureen, filed with soup specially pre-
pared for him. was always put before
him. He took a few spoonfuls and
had it taken away. Next came a
whole fillet of beef. from which he
cut the tiniest slice. Then followed
four quails or large chicken, of which
he ate one mouthful, together with
two lettuce leaves and one radish.. His
dessert was four grapes-never a sin,
gle one more-and cup of coffee. A
bottle of the best claret and another
of the best champagne were served
with the repast, but he only wetted
his lips with drop from them and let
them go. He took two of these meals
day, and the price for each meal was
100 francs.
But this was not all. Every time
the butter man got up from his ex-
traordinary meal he gave 40 francs to
the head waiter, who put his food on
his plate, since the guest did not like
80 handle spoons or dishes; 20 francs
TO the waiter, 10 francs TO the woman
cashier and francs to the porter.
Thus each meal came to 200 francs.
The head waiter of the restaurant Of
ten did slight errands for him, buying
his cigars, etc, and took them TO the
Grand hotel. where the butter man
lived The little old man would then
open the drawer of n wardrobe filled
with heaps of bank notes of from 100
francs to 600 francs in value and
with an enormous mass of goldpieces.
PAY yourself" said the owner, and
the head waiter did so, putting the
bills before his patron, who never
deigned to look at them.
One day the mysterious millionaire
went away and was never seen again.

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or Joy.
VIII en- strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshetl, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood. This
is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food, to
keep the blood rich. When it
fails, take SCOTS emulsion of
cod-liver oil. 1t sets the whole
body going again-man woman
and child.

An attack was lately made on e. F.
Collier of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly
proved fatal. 1t came through his
kidneys. His back got so lame he
could not stoop without great pain,
nor sit in chair except propped by
cushions. No remedy helped him
until he tried Electric Bitters which
effected such wonderful change that
he writes he feels like a new man.
This marvellous medicine cures back
ache and kidney trouble, purifes the

of Sons Leaving the

A Arecent writer on the early Quskers
says that the mother Ct the famous
Isaac Hopper, when he was leaving
home to begin life, said
"As to manners, remember, boy, thou
wilt never meet man in the world
whose place in it is higher than thine
own--or lower"
The son who was goins oat into the
world was then only IS years old. How
many boys Of that age would have
wisdom and tact enough 10 form a
code Of manners on the grcnt fact
Of the equality of men as children Of
God?
The Spartan mother had but nal.

He lud but one business in life-t1

shield and bade him hurry Return

age Is no longer the only virtue, or

One Of the most successful men Of

boy, my mother said to me: Come
back to me with clean hands, joe
with clean hands,; and with Gods
help, have tried to keep them clean
for her"
A picture by famous artist was
exhibited at the worlds fair in Chi
cago, and was constantly surrounded
by silent crowds, whose faces showed
how deeply ittouohed them. 1t showed
the kitchen Of farmhouse; the son
of the family was starting out to be-
gin life alone; the wagon was at the
door; the little box was packed ready
to be carried out. His mother, poor,
worn woman, held her hands upon his
shoulders. looking straight into his
eyes. There were no tears in her own.
She had no time for tears.
What viii you DO out yonder?" her
eyes asked, with desperate pleading.
"Will you remember your home and
your God? VIII you come back to me
the honest, good boy you are now?"
Thousands Of men locked on that
picture. They seldom made any COM
ment on IT.; but hardened faces would
grow tender, and keen eyes dim as
they looked Before each OF them an
other woman's face rose, the mother
whom he had left long ago, who had
built such high, fond hopes upon him.
