To be born with a good body, 4
pleasing countenance, quick intelli-
gence, fine voice and talent that wins
heritage to be grateful for.
A man who was thus endowed died
recently in Boston.
Time was when people would crowd
theaters to hear him sing and see him
dance and laugh at his fun. He made
immense sums of money and might
easily have retired with wealth before
he was forty Instead, he died penni-
less at fifty-six in poor lodging
house, separated from his family,
and all his friends were tired of trying
to save him from himself
Whisky.
That one word is the epitaph of Bill
ly Emerson, the minstrel, rich and
famous in his way not so very long
ago.
And he differed from the countless
wrecks among whom he went to pieces
only in his greater natural gifts and
things which those gifts brought him.
He had plenty of brains and seemed
to have good sense.
But that was not so. No man with
good sense will drink whisky when
experience tells him that he likes it
too well.
That is the lesson which Billy Emo
son and all his unhappy kind beques n
to young men.

But there is one splendid Develop
ment Of Russia's vodka monopoly
which should win more faith for it as
factor for good than anything yet
proved by the system itself. l refer
to the temperance societies formed in
connection with the monopoly, and
their work. These temperance soeie-
ties must do much to neutraIize any
tendency to run the monopoly entirely
for revenue. .f - 3 81 8
Since the year 1898 the government
has, divided certain sums among the
temperance societies established in
the governments where the monopoly
is in force Beginning with a little
over 100000 rubles. the sum has
mounted up to over 100000 in 1901,
and over 1000, 900 this year, out of the
enormous revenue of over 100000, 900
which it receives from the monopoly.
With this government money, added
to more raised in other ways, the So
cieties have established teahouses and
cheap temperance restaurants to the
number of 1,7l5; reading rooms and
circulating Libraries, 1901; lecture
rooms, 654; Sunday schools, IS; even
ing schools, 10; singing classes. 147;
tea gardens and theaters, SOB; halls
for dancing, BAG; Christmas trees, 30,
and various other places of amuse-
ment 15O. These figures are for sew
eral years ago and the number is now
much larger.
IN st. Petersburg parts of six public
parks have been set aside for the peo
pie and here are built open-air thea
ters and concert halls with tables un-
der the trees where the poor man ami
his family can sit during the warmer
months at least and sip glasses of
good tea for a few kopecks. Decided
ly the most notable establishment of
the kind in st. Petersburg is the Ma
rodny Dom or peoples house-to
translate it literally. From a certain
point of view | doubt if there is a
more interesting place to visit in the
entire capital The Russians are very
justly proud of it. The Narodny Dom
itself is fine building of brick. which
was put up for an exposition and then
bought by the society for this purpose

Evils OF Even Moderate Drinking.

You are told truthfully this:
The drinking nations of the world
are the great and successful nations
A small handful of drinking English
can subdue and control the temperate
millions of India Egypt etc
Perfectly true The powerful races
do drink. But the powerful ndividu-
ais do not drink.
The conquering armies are armies OF
drinking men usuaIly-but their lead
ers are sober, temperate men. II You
want to be one OF the ordinary crowd,
no worse, and no better than others.
drink spirits moderately as whis-
kys friends put IT, But romcmbeg
that there is no such thing as drink
ing whisky moderately
Immoderate drinking makes you a
brute. 1t classes you among those in
the picture So-called moderate whis-
ky drinking takes the edge off your
ability 1t discounts your mental ac-
tivity. You can't be one of the really
successful men if you start out to be
moderate drinker.

Army Service In Germany.

From return lately laid before the
Reichstag, it appears that last year
1,645 S46 young men became nominally
available for service in the forces OF
the German empire. From this num-
ber, however, large deductions had to
be made; 1885, 16S men had emigrated
without leave, and 97,S19 were absent
without leave from other causes; 573,-
799 were set back for ayear, 25,175 had
entered the army, and 1,209 the
navy as volunteers; Zig were detail
ed for Ersatz reserve, others were
found medically unfit, others were dis
qualified for other causes. so that
finally only 222,667 were drafted into
the army, and 6,1S4 into the navy.

end of the war, and Aunt EsSky" she
is called to-day.
Shortly after the war Anne Graham
was married to David Young, a carpen-
ter and also a soldier who had
fought for the queen in Canada during
the Fenian outbreak. This ceremony
crushed the hopes of certain young
northern soldier, whom Aunt Becky
had nursed during the struggle, and
who lost his heart to the maiden who
had brought him back to health.
Besides being an army nurse Of
wide reputation, Mrs. Young is the
founder of two state sanitary associa-
tions, one in New York and the other
in Iowa. The first had its beginning
in Ithaca, N Y. when she was a girl
at the outbreak of the civil war. The
latter was organized in Des Moines, at
the beginning of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war.

Temperance advocates may be en-
couraged to learn that the people OF
the United States drink much less
beer wine and spirits than the people
of other nations. In 1900 the con-
sumption of alcoholic drinks per 10
of population in France was 1876 gal
Ions, in Great Britain 1872 gallons, in
Germany 800 gallons and in the Unit.
ed States only 147 gallons. TO be sure,
an average of 14.7 gallons Of alcoholic
drinks in a year may seen discourag.

Some of the Kansas papers are relat-
ing how, at the close of the civil war,
Gen. Shafter was an applicant for a
first lieutenancy in the reorganlzed
army, and had working in his behalf
a congressman whose knowledge of
army affairs was very limited. One
day this congressman sent the follow
ing message:
Dear Shafter-I have just returned

Record of Ono Regiment.

At recent reunion a comrade Wv
idly told of the various battles that
the Fifty-eighth Massachusetts regi-
ment was in from that of the Wilder
ness down to the close of the war. On
May the regiment was fighting in the
Wilderness. but was not in the thick
est OF it. 1t has seven killed twenty
three wounded and four missing, but
among them was no officer. Five days
later they were throwing up breast
works before Spottsylvania court
house, and in this movement three
men were lost. The regiment was in
front of a thick wood, and so misty
was the weather that the soldiers
could not see rod into it. The charge,
Comrade Read stated. seemed like
rushing into the jaws of hell. Position
was taken about six rods in front of
the rebel breastworks and the regi-
ment lost 100 men in that affair thir-
teen of whom were killed outright.
Forty pieces of artillery and many
prisoners, however were captured.
For three days the regiment had
very little to eat. At the battle of
North Anna river five men were lost.
At Cold Harbor the loss was heavy in
taking the fort. While throwing up
breastworks with bayonets and tin
cups the regiment lost about ninety
men. Company l Joined the regiment
just after that battle, and when it
reached the front it had only sixty
men. After the company had Joined
the regiment the Fifty-eighth was SC
decimated that it could muster only
about 200 men for duty, although
about 800 men had Joined the regi-
ment For a week it faced the rebel
army, and its lines were constantly
charged.

OF Anne's ambition, and also of her
skill in sick room. He Immediately
secured her permit to join the regi+
ment as a regular. army nurse, and she
proudly marched to the front with the
One Hundred and Ninth Volunteers.
Anne went into the work heart and
soul, and with a thorough knowledge
OF her duties, which soon won for her
the admiration and respect of the
surgeons and the devotion of the sol

Petersburg. caring as tenderly for the
"rebs" as she did for the men of the
north. Both the blue and the gray

Mrs. Young tells an amusing story
Of how the sobriquet of Aunt Becky"
came to be bestowed upon her. The
boys in the hospital, feeling tender

\ persisted in calling her mother" The
title was given her by young captain
whom she brought back to life by care

it up. She objected to the name, being
a girl barely out of her teens, and
feeling that the title added too many
years to her life.
One day she reprimanded in jok-
ing way, young soldier who had
used the familiar term. DR.. French
of the hospital corps, who was sitting
on a camp chair near by reading pa

out: "Tll give you name that will

DEADLY POISON.

Has Been Found In the Lily of the
Valley.
A German botanist has discovered
that the pretty flower known as the
lily of the valley contains poison Of
the most deadly kind, Not only the
flower itself, but also the stem as well,
contains an appreciable quantity of
prussic acid. While injecting a decoc-
tion of lily of the valley into the ear
of a guinea pig he noticed the animal
suceumbed Immediately, with all the
symptoms of poisoning by hydrocyanic
acid. Chemical analysis of the little
plant has disclosed, however, the pres

which-strange to say-scientists, at
tribute precisely the penetrating per-
fume of the lily of the valley The at
tention of the German botanist has
been drawn by the fact that one of his
gardeners has felt himself seized with
dizziness and vomiting, after having
raised inadvertently a bunch OF lilies
of the valley to his mouth, the lips OF
which were cracked.
