THE MENACE OF A BIG
ARMY.
Progress Of Debate Oh the Army
Bill In the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 16.-A final
vote upon the pending army re-
organization bill will be taken
by the Senate at 4 o'clock Fri
day under the terms Of an
agreement reached late today.
The feature of the debate was
the denunciation Of the practice
Of hazing at the West Point
Military Academy, Senator
Allen, Of Nebraska; Senator
Money, of Mississippi, and
Senator McCumber declared it
to be an evidence Of brutality
and cowardice.
Senator Gallinger reported
the pension appropriation bill
and it went to the Calendar.
The House bill to divide the
State of West Virginia into two
judicial districts was passed,
Consideration Of the army
reorganization bill then was re-
suned. Senator Teller moved
to strike out that paragraph Of
the bill which empowered the
President TO place on the retired
list any officer who has been
suspended from duty by SON
Jonce Of court-martial or nv
executive order in mitigation Of
such sentence, The amendment
was agreed to.
Senator Allen declared his ug

He declared that brutality
had been developed at West
Point which ought not TO be ex-
Iectsd to exist among barbar-
ians. "The prize fighter" said
senator Allen, lis a gentleman
compared with some Of those
young ruffians at West Point.
The first thing fourth class

brutal assault and humiliating
indignity. These things take

the officers Of the institution.

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 by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, 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 resi-
is not rest and sleep is not

is poor; there is little nutri,
ment in it.

Going to Canossa.

The saying 'going to Canossa" refers
to the humiliating pilgrimage made
by the Emperor Henry " to Italy in
the year 1877. Henry had objected to
the claims advanced by Gregory Hide
brand and, refusing to submit, was ex-
communicated by that pontiff. The
emperor at first laughed at the SEN
tence, but took q more serious view
when he found himself deserted even
by his personal attendants and resolved
on n journey to Italy to make his peace
with the pope. The latter was then at
the Castle of Canossa, fortress of the
Countess Matilda and situated in the
mountains of Modena. Thither the en-
peror fastened, but the pope refused
to see him save under the most degrad-
ing conditions.
The desperate situation of Henry
compelled him to submit, and for three
days and nights, barefooted and bare
headed, clad only in a hair shirt, the
raiment of a penitent, he waited at the
gate. At the end of this fearful pen
ance, which was undergone in the
month of January, he was admitted to
the papal presence, was absolved and
received his dominion as a gift from
the pope. The expression has ever
since been current as indicative of
abject submission on any terms i'm
posed by the conqueror.

PATHS Escort.

Adelina Patti, the great singer, on
one of her tours of Europe was due at
Bucharest on certain date. Owing to
inclement weather, however, madame
declined to bulge from Vienna, and
the poor manager went nearly distract
ed. AS storming had not the slightest
effect on her serene highness the man
ager set his wits to work. Soon after
ward telegram arrived from Bucha-
rest, stating that brilliant deputation
of Roumanian mobiles, with a torchlight
procession and military band, was to
receive the diva. The message was
handed to Nine. Patti, who was en-
chanted, and at once made ready to
start. On arrival, the band played and
the torches fiared, and madame was
put in the best of spirits by being es-
corted to her hotel by the Roumanian
mobiles 1t is not known what she would
have said had she been told that the
mobiles" were hired from the streets
and dressed up for the occasion by a
representative of the manager.

They Weren't Fed.

"Some years ago. San Fran

man came into the city by the Golden
Cato, and it fell to my lot TO entertain
him. So one night took him to dine
at the far famed Cliff House 1t was
a beautiful moonlight night, and from
where we sat upon the porch we look
ed out upon the broad bosom of the
Pacific ocean. The moons light made
path across the waters, and in It's
center the Seal rocks lay like a black
patch. The Englishman inquired what
they were and upon my informing him
said: Bah Jove, are those the Seal
rocks of which have heard? I'd very
much like to see the seals. say, my

mentioned. He was; but, needless to
say, the waiter was not.'

NO IDLE LAND THERE.
Chinese Landlords Must Cultivate or
Forfeit Their Titles.

As among the oldest living nations
China has the right to claim paternity
for few important modern ideas at
least, and, strangely enough, an ap-
proach to some of the theories of Henry
George on the land question is among
them. There no land is permitted to
be idle or unprOductive. If a landlord
allows his ground to 60 out of cultiva-
ton or attempts to hold it for rise in
price, he is told to do otherwise.
Should he fail to comply it is taken
from him and managed and owned by
the state. Moreover, the soil is
equitably divided among the people.
Each family is said to have its patrimo-
NAL field that has been its inheritance
for ages. The largest farms. as rule,
are not more than thirty acres, and
throughout the whole empire there are
few land holders who own more than
fifty acres. Most of the farms, or lots,
are from three to nine acres in extent.
These family farms can never be sold
out of the line of succession so long as
one of the blood wants to buy them.
All land is taxed at rate varying ac-
cording to its fertility from about 15 to
40 cents per acre, and the rate has not
been changed in many centuries.

Annie Pie Order.

To feel in apple pie order is a phrase
which dates back to Puritan times to
certain Hepzibah Merton. 1t seems
that every Saturday she was accus-
toned to bake two or three dozen ap-
pie pies, which were to last her family
through the coming week. These she
placed carefully on her pantry shelves,
labeled for each day of the week, so
that Tuesdays pies might not be con-
fused with Thursdays nor those pre-
sumably large or intended for washing
and sweeping days eaten when house
hold labors were lighter. Aunt Hep
zibah's apple pie order" was known
throughout the entire settlement and
originated the well known saying.

The Life Line In Ones Hand.

There are three prominent lines in
the palm-the line of life, that of the
head and the heart line.
The line Of life begins on the inner
boundary of the palm, about midway
between the thumb and the forefinger.
If we imagine the left hand to be a
map, with the fingers pointing north,
this line runs toward the southeast,
then curves toward the south and in
some hands curves finally toward the
southwest. 1t thus skirts the base or
''uprise" Of the thumb. known as the
uprise of Venus. If it is deep. broad,
of good color and extends nearly or
quite to the wrist and if the rest of the
hand indicates vitality and cheerful
ness, the subject may be expected to live
to green old age; he has good dispo-
sition and the qualities which good
health and good temper usually create

1t Is not usual for a ship on the high
seas to elect to cast anchor on the deck
of passing steamer, but that is what
q four masted schooner did once in the
Atlantic. The two vessels grazed in
the fog, and the ''catted" port anchor
of the schooner caught in the steamers
deck ''by fuke." 1t fastened to an
engineers stateroom in such a manner
as to bar his exit; but, fortunately, the

ing ripped into fragments. The schoon-

When chilled by exposure to cold,
take long breath, with the mouth
firmly shut. Repeat this several times
until you begin to feel the heat return
ing. 1t requires only a very short time
to do this. The long breath quickens
the pulse, and this causes the blood to
circulate faster. The blood flows into
all parts of the veins and arteries and
gives out great deal Of heat. 1t is
stated that long, deep breath, held as
long as possible, will close the pores Of
heated skin. and the danger of taking
cold, on stepping outdoors, may be thus
guarded against.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The Sum-

All Doctors have tried to cure
Catarrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous
mem branes causing them to crack open
and bleed. The powerful acids used in
the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers
have aimed to cure, while pastes and
oiutments cannot reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made a close
study and speciality of the treatment of
Catarrh, has at last perfected a treat
ment which, when faithfully used not
only relieves at once, but permanently
cures Catarrh, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing ali
Inflammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reaches;
the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy is known as 'Snuffies the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure" and is sold
at the extremely low price of one dol
lar, each package containing internal
and external medicine sufficient for
full months treatment and everything
necessary to its perfect use.
''Snuffies" is the only perfect
Catarrh cure ever made and is now
recognized as the only safe and positive
cure for That annoying and disgusting
disease, 1t cures all inflammation
quickly and permanently and is also
wonderfully quick to relieve hay fever
or cold in the head.
Catarrh, when neglected, often leads
to consumption-"Sn uffles'' will save
you if you use it at once, 1t is an ordi-
nary remedy, but a complete treat
