Sthe carpenter Is known by his chips" II
takes a firm hand and true eye to turn
a straight ft1rrow. No wonder the farmer
wears out, spite of exercise and fresh air
One days work on the farm would tire
many a trained athlete. And the farmer
works hardest of all. The first up and
the last to bed, feeding his team before
he feeds himself, his work Is practically
never done. Why does not the farmer
treat his own body as he treats the land
he cultivatesl He puts back in phos-
phate what he takes out In crops, or the
land would grow poor. The farmer
should put back into his body the vital
elements exhausted by labor. If he does
not, he will soon complain OF rpoor
health" The great value of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery Is in its vital
ling power. 1t gives strength to the
stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the
blood. 1t supplies Nature with the SUBJ
stances by which she builds up the body,
Just as the farmer supplies Nature with
the substances that build up the crops.

EXTENSIVE SMUGGLING.
Disclosures Resulting From Treasury
Investigations.

Collector of Customs Bidwell of New
York has been in the city comforting with
Mr.. Spaulding, assistant secretary of the
treasury, regarding the reorganized condf-
tions at the New York customs house He
brought figures to show that the duties col
lected from passengers on four steamers
arriving last Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day were $2a,Go0 greater than from passen-
gers aboard steamers of the same lines on
corresponding days last year The extent
of the smuggling disclosed by the new sys-
tenn in New York has almost dumfounded
the treasury officials. and steps are being
taken to apply the New York system as
far as practicable, to other ports of entry.
Investigations resulting from these dis
closures has revealed the fact that a large
number of transatlantic passengers sun
posed1y women of wealth and fashion were

REPLY TO COMPLAINT.
Objections Filed to Work Done O1
jackson Street.

jackson Street.
Mr.. John ConneH of 81 Jackson street
northeast and other residents on that thor
oughfare recently filed with the District
Commissioners protest against the pro-
posed manner of paving Jackson street be-
tween North Capitol and 1st streets They
stated that they understood the Commits
sioners proposed to remove the curb and
brick sidewalk and pave the entire street
with asphalt blocks leaving no sidewalks
whatever for pedestrians. To do that, de-
clared the protestants, would be to endan-
ger the lives of children and Of these who
have to pass through the street. They,
therefore, asked that the curb and side
walk be replaced in connection with the
proposed Improvement.
Mr.. G. b. Hunt, the District computing
engineer, to whom the matter was referred
by the Commissioners, has reported to
them that the so-called Jackson street Is
not a street, but an alley thirty feet wide,
and is being paved such under the as
sessment system providing for the paving
of alleys. Old brick sidewalks exist in
this alley, but in the paving work in prog
to carry the modern alley pavement to the
alley lines. This construction commends
itself to this office as the best especially
from a sanitary point of view, and it is
recommended that 1t be not changed"

Rnssia's Irregular Cavalry Has N,
Parallel in. Any Other Army.

An9sta'B Irregular Cavalry Has No
Parallel In. Any Other Army.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The Cossacks are justly regarded as con-
stituting one Of the most valuable branches
of the Russian army. They can be classed
as irregular cavalry, but very different
from our national guard or volunteers, for
the right to be Cossack comes only
through Inheritance. The son of a Cossack,
therefore, is a Cossack as soon as he is
born. and is taught the use of arms and
through his boyhood.i So exclusive is this
hereditary military caste that it is almost
impossible for an officer OF the regular
army, no matter how high his rank to Sc
cure a commission in Cossack regiment
unless he has inherited the right to such a
command. E3al
Several hundred years ago the Cossacks
were lawless bands OF freebooters, living
on the banks of the Don and the Dneiper
in Russia. When this territory was abb
sorbed into the Russian dominions the czar
was confronted with the problem of turn
ing these turbulent people into good sub
jects. He conceived the idea that by recog-
nizing them as part of his military force
they would take pride in their position and
be loyal and turn their restless energies
into the channels which would be OF benefit
to the empire. The experiment proved a
great success and ever since it was put
into execution the Cossacks have been OF
the greatest assistance to Russia In all her
military enterprises and today there is no
more familiar name In connection with the
Russian army than that OF "Cossack.''
They are organised into regiments, hut
it is only certain of the officers who are
on duty all the time. Each man gets his
horse and a small pay from the govern
lowed to settle down and to rear family
of young Cossacks for the service OF the
cxar. When the government call comeat

what exercise Of ingenuity the engineer Is
sometimes put in accomplishing this was
illustrated a dozen or more years ago in
one large factory, when on an upper floor
a row of small engines had to be installed
for the independent driving of corre-
spending number of different machines.
Though the building was of substantial
construction, with steel floor beams, it was
a foregone conclusion that that row of
engines would cause trouble If set with
nothing but the floor as a foundation, and
as 1t was undesirable to raise them much
above the floor level, each engine was
provided with a separate foundation, built
up Of brick and mortar in the usual way,
but suspended by steel straps between the
floor beams and thus projecting down into
the head room of the floor below. Seen
from there. each foundation, with its en-
CINE, appeared as If resting airy moth

A Site for the Grant Monument,

10 the EdltOr OF The Evening Starr
1t seems to me that the grandest site for
the Grant monument would be at the top
of 10th street HILL above Florida avenue.
1t is the most commanding position in the
future Greater Washington for handsome
equestrian statue, whether in small circle
like Scott Circle or as the crowning feature
of great marble arch in a park like
Lafayette Square. If the monument COM

Congress would adopt it. It may be

NJ Dussaud. who has already invented
micro-phonograph for the relief Of the deaf,
has now prepared a new apparatus. which
is called a cinematograph for the blind. It
consists of a small disk OF zinc. with fs-

a pedal. M. Dussaud's disk with the raised
figures is intended to give the blind man an
idea of the motion of objects as he touches
the apparatus with his ffngers. 1t is claim

sight will be able TO realize the night OF
