Forsyth was formerly In command of

While we have been instructed by
the navy department not to discuss
the merits OF the case. every one
knows that the navy department looks
upon the controversy as an unfortu-
nate anair. We believe there was
plenty OF glory for all concerned. The
fact that a junior man was placed in
command above his seniors is respon-
siole for the whole business. Samp-
son was a captain and the seventeenth
ranking officer OF the navy. No enc

OF Admiral Sicard, and don't believe

EXnlodnd Rpliafa.

Our large dealers in raw furs do not
think enough Of mole skins to give
them a place on their price lists, yet
farmers continue to send them to mar
ket. The strange little burrowers are
plentiful in many parts of the country,
but a pelt fetches only about as much
as that Of a rabbit, which is well sold
at a cent and a half. Probably three
fourths of the inhabitants of the world
cling to the belief that the mole has
no eyes. We all grow up with that no.
ton. But it has two Of the smallest
cutest, blackest little beads Of optics
that ever were, which can be retracted
and exerted at will. Blind worms are
no more blind than moles are. They
have very quick and brilliant eyes. /
am told that there are no eyeless fishes
in the Mammoth Cave.-Victor Smith,

Possibilities OF Wytopitlock.

If there Is one Indian name among
the thousands in use In Maine which
has been misspelled more than another
it Is that by which the village Of Wyto-
pitlock is called. The name has been
cut in pieces, abridged, hacked down
and quartered, and although it is
spelled exactly as it is pronounced the
name has come to be a terror for peo-
pie not proficient in Indian lore.
The postmaster there has been inter-
ested to notice the different ways of
spelling, and although the amount of
mail received there Is not great he has
already made a formidable collection.
Here are a few choice ones from the
lot:
Whitplock, Winter Pitlock, Widow
Pa jlock, Witter Petlock, Witter Pc
log, Whytlock, Wytlock, Witter Plot
lock, Wylapittock, Wyptiolock, Witeo.

Alcohol's Known Character.

The Minneapolis Times independently
takes notice of the periodical occurrences
of the agitation to establish a recognized
"food value" for alcohol and with an ex-
hibition of a commendable degree of COM
mon sense, says:
"The practical effects of alcohol are 30
well known that this constant threshlng
of old and useless straw in the way of en-.
lightenment as to it's nature is worse than
wasted words 1t seeks, perhaps uncon.
sciously, to present alcohol as factor OF
value in the working power of man. The
testimony of the ages is entirely against
such an assumption. 1t is of no use to say
a man who abstracts our best POSSESSIONS
isn't thief, simply because he generously
allows US to handle them between times
The lesson of intemperance is one which
has the same translation no matter by
what tongue it is retold. The status OF al;
cohol is SO definitely settled by it that al
other ethical arguments are as nothing pc
side the ruin of one good man. If our ply
sicians will put their intelligence to lind,
inc a substitute for alcohol which shall
give it's mental stimulus without it's de,
grading physical results they will be OF
much more benefit to the generations to
come than in proftless controversies over
the specific kind of energy which alcohol
gives to humanity. 1t is from the pathoo'
logical and not the physiological stand
point that alcohol should be discussed

The Crusade in Brief.

The savage races which have never
known alcohol are soonest destroyed by it.
If the saloon is half as bad as the can,
teens advocates say it is it ought to "go"
at once.
In a given number of drunkards but a
very few become such through Unborn ap'
petite.
If any have the idea that the saloon
power will be put down in this country IN

Considering the influence of alcohol
alone, unchecked by an educated con-
science, we must admit that it is the

His Freuuent Experience.

"Did you ever Jump from your bal

"Often, ma'am," replied the daring
aeronaut, outwardly calm, although
this was the thirty-seventh time the
question had been asked him that
day.
Dear me! How high up?"
"Sometimes as high as Go00 feet"
"Why, didn't it hurt you awfully?"
"Hurt me, MADAME" he said, scowl-
ing ferociously. 1T killed me dead
every time."-New York World.

A Steady Increase.

Ballington Booth says: There is
steady increase in the number of places
expressly licensed for the sale of intoXi,
eating drinks. In the comparatively quiet
town and village, the traffic of the saloon
is confessediy bringing in its train dis
turbance to domestic peace, injury to To-
cal business interests, and poverty to once
thrifty and prosperous homes. But in nc
place is the injurious influence. OF the sa
Icon a more potent factor than in the city
and it is the city saloon which swells the
annual expenditure for liquor to Sl,22os;

and ecclesiastic, to say how long pre-;

Victoria Reicned aa,aaa Days.

Somebody with the bump of statis-
tics abnormally developed has taken
the trouble to calculate the exact
length of the Victorian era in days,
hours, minutes and even seconds.
AS the reign of Queen Victoria began
at 2.2O on the morning Of June 20,
1887. and closed at 6.30 on the evening
of January %, 1901, it follows that the
total length was 1928 days, 557 7,3SG
full hours, 33,443,170 minutes, or O.
OO6, 10000 seconds. All but 54619
hours of it were in the nineteenth cen
tury.-Tit-Bits.

Of the hard-to-reach North Pole is Cap
tain Bernier, Of Quebec, who will take
with him strong kites fitted with cam

photographs Of such points as he can
not reach. The success that has at
tended the use Of the camera by the
aid Of kites at great heights leads him
to believe that the method may be
practicable in the Arctic regions.

This is enough of slavery and those
responsible for it. The nineteenth
century has left us some good, some
signal blessings, and chief among them
IS the great advance in the social con-
ditlon OF woman and the general re-
cognltion of her equality with man in
most all civil rights. Unless she chains
herself to brute she is no longer q
slave, but stands up side by side with
her husband. Her demands for hor-
self and her children now lind q re-
spcctful audience III courts and lcgs-
latures (cXcept, perhaps, that last mis-
cradle abortion called the Georgia Leg
lslature), and no great newspaper could
pass without giving a good part of its
columns for their pleasure and COM
fort. Woman is fast coming to the
front as mistress of the situation. In
every calling she has proved herself as
Intelligent and as progressive as man
and infinitely his superior III public
morals and private virtue. When she
does come fully to the front she will
control legislation and then whisky,
the curse of the country, will be for
ever banished. Whisky is woman's
greatest foe, the cause of nearly all
the tyranny, nlidclity and crime that
makes her existence miserable. She
will not have to beg Legislature to
protect the factory children, for then
the children will have sober fathers to
protect them.
a good mother writes me from
Atlanta about the mutiny at the Tech,
and says that the trouble with the boys
OF this day is the lack of discipline at
home. They are not taught obedience
IN their early youth and they grow up
without restraint and imagine they
know as much or more than parents or
teachers. That is so, of course, and
every parent knows it, and that ac-
counts for many of the crimes and mis-
deeds that bring trouble to parents.
Instead of children fearing their par
ents, most parents fear their children,
and dread to have a rupture with them.
But they get paid for it sooner or later.
