Comment in GERMANY.

Berlin, July 1.-THE announcement OF
Lord Salisbury's retirement was received
here simply as interesting news. not hav-
ing great political Significance because
1t had long been expected. The comment
is generally respectful. but not cordial.
No English statesman gets cordial treat
ment in the German press. but Lord Sails
bury was so much better liken than Mr..
Chamberlain that he has always been
treated with a certain regard.

Private Dalzell's plan for organizing
a political party within the ranks of the
Grand Army, and the soldiers of the more
recent wars is causing no end of dis
cussion among the veterans and promises
to precipitate lively contest when the
Grand Army encampment meets in Wash
ington in October. The discussion has
already reached the stage where 1t Is
certain that it cannot be kept out OF the
questions for consideration by the en-
campment, no matter how anxious some
of the leading members of that organiza-
ton may be to prevent It.. Public Of
fictals, members of the G.. A. r. and
the press are being flooded with letters
here from members of the different Or
ganizations of veterans, taking sides in
the controversy.
There is apparently no half way ground
in the discussion. One element is strongly
urging the political activity of the old
soldier and the other is equally as insts-
tant that the organization be kept free
from participation in politics. Letters
are being sent to the different G. A. X.
posts throughout the country urging the
individual members to take a stand for
or against the proposition.
Major w. H. Mills, one of the leading
members of the Union veterans organiza-
ton has issued a letter in which he calls
attention to the political work of the
order to which he belongs. He says:
There are Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress who owe their positions
to the order. 1t is not a betrayal of con-
fdence to state that Colonel Henderson
would not have been Speaker of the
House Of Representatives had 1t not been
for the efforts Of the Union Veterans
Union.'
He calls attention to the fact that
there are more than 100000 veterans of
the Civil War on the pension rolls and
says that these with the sons and near
relatives of soldiers, II we'll organized,
could not only change the political COM
plexion of Congress. but determine any
Presidential contest"
Some of the leading officials of the G.
A. r. are making an effort to have the
individual posts throughout the country
declare against the effort to inject politi-
cal questions into the coming encamp-
ment, believing that the organization will
be irreparably damaged if the attempt
to use it for political purposes receives
any considerable encouragement.

Command.
ROOSEVELT TO ENQUIRE
The G. A. R. May Get Square,
ly Into Politics.
Effort Will Be Made at Next En-
campment to Get the Federal
Soldiers Organization to
Take up Political Matters.

Washington. July 14-(Special.)-There
is now a prospect that General Jake
Smith of Samar fame. will not be as
signed to the Department Of Texas. Gen.
eral Chaffee's criticism of the findings of
the courtmartial which acquitted Major
Waller has opened the entire case again
and the President Is preparing to report
upon the matters before him. He is
known to have been embarrassed by the
inequality in the Smith and Waller
cases.
The official and press dispatches that
have been received have been so frag-
mentary that there was difficulty in
reaching a final decision. The complete
report will enable the President to fix
the blame for sending a body of marines
across country which every well-in-
formed man knew to be a jungle. The
blame. as indicated by the report just
received. plainly lies with Smith. who
seems to have known as little as a
prairie school boy of conditions in the
Philippine Islands when he attained COM
mand of a department.
The expedition took only four days
rations because, forsooth. the inch meas
ure laid on the map showed Samar to
be only twenty-five miles wide where
Waller was expected to cross 1t. 1t
proved to be twenty-five miles of path
less tangel of hardwood vegetation equal
to 200 miles of ordinary travel. In view
of the facts Smiths order to kill and
burn" was fruitless and silly in inception.
as the island was nothing but bowling
wilderness anyway, after passing a mile
and a half from the congested settle
ments, along the coast.
Two questions are now before the Pres
ident for settlement. One Is whether
Waller is beyond reach of a rehearing
and the other as to whether Smith shall
have his Texas command.

SPREAD OF CONTAGION.
Transmission of Diseases Now Is
Checked by Studying the Ways of
Microbes and Serus.

In these days we have most of us
learned the lesson that contagion-
that is to say the catching" quality
of a diseases in every case mat
ter of a specific microbe or germ. By
specific is meant that each disease
has its own microbe, and one cannot
catch the disease except by receiving
in one way or another that particular
germ.
These germs have their own manners
and customs, means of travel and pre-
scrised length of life, and it is by the
study of these details that we learn
how to avoid the transmission of con-
tagious illnesses. We know, for in
stance, that to get typhoid fever or
cholera the microbe has to be taken
to the system in the form of i'm
ure food or water, and so every year
more and more precautions are taken
to have the water-supplies of our big
cities free from contamination, and
stricter attention is given to the purity
of our food. An outbreak of typb bold
fever is no longer considered, in the
old sense, a "visita ton of Providence"
but is recognized as shame and re-
Election on local conditions, wherever
it occurs.
Consumption and whooping-cough,
we know, are passed from one person
to another by means Of the expectora
lions, and it is to be hoped that in the
near future we shall put this knowl-
edge to better use than we do at pres
emit, and protect ourselves by much
more stringent rules. General eX
pectoration is a public offense and
menace, and should be made penal
matter. The danger with expectorated
matter is that it dries and is then
scattered by the wind so that one and
all must take the risks. This outrage
should be so handled by all in authori-
Nty that in the near future the present
condition of our cars and streets viii
seem like an evil nightmare.
Scarlet fever and diphtheria are
caught by any carnations from the
body, especially the saliva. The poi
son can cling for months and years
to clothes and toys and books, and
those things should always be de-
stroyed If they have come in contact
with the sick, and sick-roon1s should
be fumigated and made scientifically
clean before they are again occupied.
notwithstanding all our precautions
there will always be disease germs.
but the most virulent germ can do
no harm unless it finds its proper soil.
and there is no armor to compare with
the resistant power of perfect health.

THE WORLDS PEARLS.
Most of Them are found in the Wa
tiers of Thursday Island, in the
South Pacific Ocean.

A pearling lugger is lying at an
Choir off Thursday island, Torres
strait, South Pacific ocean. This wide
eXpanse of dimpled water is the most
important pearl fishing territory in
the world. The floor of the ocean here
is inlaid with shells worth 81 900 ton,
and full many gem of puEest ray
serene" lies on that luxurious bed
that is worth $4,000 in the markets.
Thursday island lies between New
Guinea and Australia, ina strait so
miles wide that is dotted with islands
and coral reefs. There is big island
for every day in the week, but Thurs
day island guards the strait and has
a fort. harbor and a town, the lat
ter literally paved with pearl shells.
1t is on the beds and reefs of coral that
pearl oyster thrives best, and there
it grows to an enormous size, some
having been found that measured a
foot and a half across. More than
$1.OOO.0 900 worth of these shells are
shipped annually from Thursday is
land, and $50 such luggers are engaged
in pearl fishing and shell fishing
The Japanese are the best divers
for pearls, but there are also MANY
-
and Swedes engaged in the work Of
going under water and hunting for
gems. Each boat has an air-pumping
apparatus to supply the diver when
under water. With leaden shoes on
his feet and glass front in his he'll
met, the diver walks about on the
ocean floor, fills his bag with shells
and signals to be drawn up. The bust
ness is dangerous. for there are sharks
and poisonous fish. To the sharks the
men throw chunks of salt beef Then
there is the squid or devil fish that has
the unpleasant habit of clouding the
water with an inky. fluid so he can ap-
proach his victim unseen and crush
him with his tentacles. The shells areo
all opened by white men in the pres
ence of the managers, for no one knows
which shell may contain a costly gem.

is 5000, 900 heat units. The usual steam
pressure is two atmospheres. Ten of
a total of Il boilers are used and to
guard against accidents two main
lines of pipes have been provided. 1t is
stated that the loss of heat in trans
mission is from four to AZ per cent.
The largest pipes have diameter OF
s1s inches The pipes are protected by
two layers of tin, the inner layer being
perforated and the outer one covered
with silk.

BLACK AND RICR
Is the Way Postum Coffee Should Be

A iiauid food that will help a person break a bad habit is worth knowing of. The president of one of the State associa- tions of the W. c. T. U.. who naturally does not want her name givenL writes as follows: whenever was obliged to go without coffee for breakfast a dull, dis tracting headache would come on before noon. I discovered that. in reality, the nerves were crying out for their accus- toned stimulant.
 At evening dinner I had been taught by experience that I must refrain from coffee or pass a sleepless night. In the summer of 1900. while visiting physician and his wife I was served with a most excellent coffee at their dainty and ele- gant table and, upon inquiry, discovered that this charming beverage was Postum Food Coffee, and that the family had been greatly benefited by leaving off cof- fee and using Postum.
 I was so in love with it. and so pleased with the glimpse of freedom from my one bondage of habit and so thoroughly con- vinced that I ought to break with my captor that upon my return home l at once began the use of Postum Food Golf fee and have continued it ever since, now more than year,
 I don't know what sick headache is now. and my nerves are steady and l sleep sound generally eight hours regu- larly. l used to become bilious frequent ly and require physic, now seldom ever have that experience.
 have learned that long boiling is ab- solutely essential to furnish good Postum. That makes it clear. black and rich as any Mocha and Java blend. Please with hold my name, but you may use the let ter for the good 1t may do."

SUcH z CHANGE.

Not only in feelings but in looks. The skin is clear, the eyes are bright, the cheeks are plump. No more pain and misery, no more sick headache, no more jaundice. What worked the change ? Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which cured the disease of the stomach that prevented proper nutrition, and also cleansed the clogged and sluggish liver.
 Dr. Nerce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures diseases of lungs, heart, liver, and other organs which seem remote from the stomach because many of these dis eases have their cause in diseased con dition of the stomach involving the allied organs of digestion and nutrition.
 -I sent you a letter about a year ago. writes Mrs. J. Ellis Hamilton of Farmington, Marion O.. West Va. aI stated my case as plainly as could, and received . letter from you in a few days. telling me to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery and Favorite Prescription "a like new woman. Don't buffer any pain or misery any more.

vor, and yet within one year Stuart's Catarrah Tablets, the new catarrh cure, has met with such success that today 1t can be found in every drug store through out the United States and Canada.
 To be sure large amount of advertis- ing was necessary in the first instance to bring the remedy to the attention of the public, but everyone f.miliar with the subject knows that advertising alone never made any article permanently sue ecssful It must have in addition abso- lute, undeniable merit and this the new catarrh cure certainly possesses in a marked degree;
 PhysicianE who formerly depended up- on inhalers. sprays and local washes or ointments, now use Stuarts Catarrh Tab lets because. as one of the most promi- nent stated, these tablets contain in pleasant, convenient form all the really efficient catarrh remedies, such as red gum, blood root and similar antiseptics.
 They contain no cocaine nor opiate, and are given to little children with entire safety and benefit.
 Dr. J. J. ReitiGer. of Covington, Ky, eays: "I suffered from catarrh in my head and throat every fall, with stop page of the nose and irritation in the throat affecting my voice and often cx- f, ndinc to the stomach, causing catarrh oC inc stomach.l l bought a fifty cent package of StuartS Catarrh Tablets at my druggists, carried them in my pocket and used them faithfully. and the way in which they cleared my head and throat WAS certainly remarkable. l had no ca turrh last winter and spring and consid- CT myself entirely free from any ca tarrhal trouble"
 Mrs Jerome Ellison, of Wheeling, w.
