Of the whole camp, the air was laden
with the odor sent up by the camp ket-

hinder Of home Dishes An instance Of
the thOrOughness with which the boys
in blue cleaned up the country is shown
by an episode in the First Maine cav
airy. The regiment rode out on scout
between the lines, and after travelling
some distance the advance sighted a
strange gathering of men: on distant
elevation. The colonel looked through
his field glass, unable to clear up the
mystery. Said he: 'There are some
sheep there-something that looks like
a battery, at least one gun. Anyhow
don't think the enemy can be there, yet
If they are our troops l don't under
stand how it happens that those sheep
are still alive and browsing" Live
sheep and Yankees in proximity seemed
Incredible, especially at the Thanksgiv-
ing season.
One Of the chief diversions of the
troops was singing and spinning yarns
around the mammoth camp fires kim
died at night to drive away the au-
tumn GOODNESS. Dull days were fol-
lowed by a carnival of fun lasting
through the long evening hours. Good
humor not only softened the hard
ships Of war, but the sternness Of the
warrior. A truce existed between the
outpost pickets, and the blue and the
gray snapped coffee and tobacco, jack
knives and bread across the rivers
which separated them. One night the
Federal officer on the rounds on the
line of the First Maine cavalry found
enc of his vedettes on post by the
bank of the river in an animated dis
cussion with a Confederate soldier as
to the amount of tobacco he ought to
get in return for a jackknife just from
home. The Confederate of course be-
longed in Lees ranks across the river.

In Paris snails are popular and the
adulterators mix them with lungs OF
cattle and horses. Even entirely artin-
cial snails are manufactured. The
shells, recoated with fat and slime are
hlled with lungs and then sold as Bur

combs are imposed upon by a substi-
tute cut out OF hogs intestines.
Chopped artificial trunies are made
OF black rubber, silk, or softened leath-

out OF roasted potatoes. which are fa-

to sell well.

But the progress of the world has
been along different lines. The incur
sions TO England OF the Saxon and the
Norman made her what she is today.
The white man who came to America
redeemed a continent from savagery,
and the impulse Of a strong and intelli-
gent race to carry their arts and estab-
lish their civilization all over the
earth. is an impulse that cannot be re-
sisted only few years ago Africa
was a dark continent. The school at
las Of forty years ago had map
marked Africa" but the vast interior
was blank and across It was printed
"unexplored region" Africa is being
redeemed. and the white man is doing
It. In the process, idols have been
overthrown and traditions smashed, but
the outcome is the ptrogress of the hu-
man race. The same process has been
repeated In India; It is evident in China
and the Philippines. and as an incident
Il has transformed Hawaii.
There is no use OF sitting down and
weeping over this spirit OF progress,
for the stronger races Will dominate
the weaker, however we raay regard
the act. Formerly this domination re-
suited in tyranny and slavery. but we
have grown kindlier ANA broader. In
future the white races win rule the
world. but the sense of Justice and hu-

insist on proper treatment Of the sub
merged races. It's in the blood and IL

Or. punnina,s Relief.

A reporter for one of the papers that
cares more for pictures and signed
statements than for news recently went
over TO Gouverneur Hospital to secure
a picture Of DR.. Emily Dunning, the
woman ambulance surgeon Now, Dr.
Dunning is really pretty, and her pic
ture was, therefore very much in de-
mand.
But DR.. Dunning did not care to have
her picture printed. The reporter had
a photographer with him, but the pref
ty physician woud not pose. The re-
porter was worried. He saw his chance
of promotion becoming dismally less
Il have it," he finally exclaimed to
the photographer after a consultation.

The two went down to the East river

The reporter jumped into the chilly
waters Of the East river. A policeman
heard the splash and jumped in after
him. The reporter resisted. but the po-

THE SALT IN THE SEA.

Some Interesting Observations on

The very fact that the waters OF

knows, but why? Rivers are not salt,
neither are some Of the very largest
of inland seas, yet one school of scien-
fists will tell you that these same seas
Cakes are the remains of what was
once a universal ocean, that there was
once an upheaval of the land and that
all the waters settled In basins except
that which drained Off If this is a
fact, why are these lakes or seas now
fresh? Don't tell me, says an investi-
gator, that # is because they have been
evaporating through the long centuries
and that the vacancy las been sup
piled by fresh waters from rivers.
Great Salt lake is no less salty now
than it was 5000 years ago and prob
ably q great deal more so.
The water Of the Caribbean sea is
dense compared with that of the At
lantic in the vicinity of the Cape Verde
islands. the proportion being eleven to
twenty-one Why is this? 1t is GER
tainly a fact that they are both of one
body of water. The variety of saline
matter found in all sea water Is unirer-
sally the same. There is another fact
which should be mentioned while we
are classifying sea water-that is this:
When the saltness Of oceans is refer
red TO. it must not be understood as be-
ing the table salt of commerce (chlo-
ride of sodium. for there are many
other salts in the solution. Expert hy-
drographers tell us that there are
enough Of these various salts held in
suspension in the waters of the oceans
/ to cover the whole landed surface OF
the globe to a depth Of 1900 feet-in

MAupLIN's sYMPATHY.

The Every Evening is barking back
to the Hawaiian "infamy." We had
hoped that our contemporary had come
to regard this as a closed chapter, but
we have been deceived. From lead

are depressing the whites, and that
since they are interlopers, they are get
ting their just deserts. Furthermore,
we are told that the natives would like
TO restore the monarchy, and the Every

not to let them do it. Our contempt.

The Philadelphia Press prints a
lengthy editorial commenting on Chief
Justice Lore's chautatlqua address, in
which it shows an amazing ignorance
OF the constitution OF our courts. It
condemns the action of this Supreme
Court" for refusing an early trial TO
George White, and declares that 1t was
for the trial court to decide whether
the case should be postponed after the
arraigpment OF the prisoner. AS mat
ter of fact the Supreme Court never
considered the matter. but the judges
who would have sat in the trial court
decided the question. So the Press has
wasted a half column OF valuable space.
