1t may be only coincidence, but it
seems somewhat significant that just
at this time the German government
should make an exhaustive report on
the condition Of it's navy. It is shown,
according to the Berlin correspondents,
that the kaiser can command the serv-
ices Of $4,000 trained sailors against
10000 Of the United States. Whether
or not this statement is made for the
benefit Of the United States, it is an
item which congress might do we'll not
to overlook when the naval bill comes
up for consideration.

Demurrer of Beef Combine.

When the federal department of JUS
tice brought suit against leading beef
and pork packers on the ground that
they We're in an illegal combine Or
trust, it will be remembered that the
defendants boldly avowed their right TO
do what they had done and followed
the declaration with the promise that
they We're ready at any time to produce
their books and papers in proof of their
contention that the high prices were
justified by the condition of the mar
ket.
Now, when the government asks
that these books and papers be placed
in evidence, the packers answer with
demurrer, practically defying the au-
drawn from this action? If the adj
vance in the price of beef has been
wholly natural and the conditions Of
trade have been as set forth by the
defendants, the most complete answer
as well as the easiest would be for
them to produce the proof obtainable
from their books. When, after having
asserted their readiness to do this, they
promptly back down when confronted
with demand to that effect, the public
can only suppose that the production of
the documents would not sustain the
claim. The contention of the packers
that the publication Of the details Of
their business would benefit rivals is
untenable since the combine has no
rivals.

The World Of Books.

This iSSthe season of the year Of
great sales of books everywhere. Few
publishers have any adequate idea Of
the immense storehouse of volumes In
the world to which are year by year
added new works in countless num-
beers. Some idea of the growth of lit
erature may be gained from the latest
estimates that from 5000 to 10000 nov
els alone are published on an average
every year the world over. The Japa-
nese print over $50, IiAlia about 200,
Egypt dozen and Syria about the
same number. Italy and Spain each
publishes more than 500 novels, France
perhaps GOO, with Scandinavia close
behind. Russia reaches about 1000.
England and. Germany print more than
any other countries-1,513 novels, a
great many Of them for children, were
put on the market last year by the
English and nearly 1900 by the Ger
man publishers. Germany, the United
States, Russia and india have doubled
in twenty years the number of publ
cations issued. Japan has multiplied
its output five times since 1880. So
have England and France.
1t is estimated that the largest libra
ries In the old world contain respective
ly the following number of volumes:

Lazaness as a Disease.

Is la2ineSs a germinal disease and is
there an antitoXin for it's eradication?
So it would appear from the statement
of DR.. Charles Wardell Stiles, the zoolo-
gist of the public health and marine
hospital service of the United States,
made at the recent sanitary conference
of American republics held at Wash
1ngton. He declared that laziness-and
especially d peculiar form of laziness to
be found in certain sections of the
southern states-is a disease the germ
OF which, he says, he has discovered.
DR.. Stiles states that this disease is in
large measure responsible for the poor
white districts of the south and indi-
rectly responsible for the conditions
which have resulted in the crusade
against child labor in the southern cot
ton mills. The presence of the disease
In the south has in the last ten years
resulted in the inferior physical devel-
opment and mental power of persons
affected by it and is the real cause of
crusade against child labor in factories
at the south was due indirectly to the
general pressure of this disease and he
states that children from the rural dis
tricts after working in the mills be-
come generally greatly improved by
reason of the improved sanitary condi-
tons in the cities and the better facili-
ties for the cure of the disease.
The name of the disease is uncinari-
asis. 1t produces condition the symp-
toms of which are not unlike those of
continued malaria. According to DR..
titles, the disease has been diagnosed
and is susceptible Of cure 1.-THE trouble,
says he, is to identify It and to pre-
s eciss,sa smedies.
One of the symptoms is that the dis
ease stimulates an appetite for differ
ent things in individual cases. The
"dirt EATERS" says DR.: Stiles, call suf-
fer from this craving. The disease is
due not, as some physicians state, to
the habit of eating dirt, but that con
yersely the habit is due to the disease"
DR.. Stiles investigations and findings
furnish an interesting contribution to
the recent discoveries respecting health
and sanitation, and it is to be hoped
that information concerning the NAL
ady will be spread broadcast through
out sections of the world in which the
disease is common. If DR.. Stiles can
cure laziness, he will be regarded as a
public benefactor.

Frenchmen can no longer talk about
our national vice" and pride them
selves that they are not as we are, for
in recent years the great question in
France has been the abuse Of absinth.
Statistics show, says the Paris CORE
spondent in the London Mail, that the
use of absinth and other deleterious
liquors is rapidly undermining French
main factors in the decrease Of the
French population every year. A vol
ume might be written ON the strange
hallucinations which absinth drinking
develops in its votaries. The doctors
are unanimous in saying that constant
nipping Of the stuff, even without any
apparent abuse of it, is as dangerous to
health and life itself as absinth drunk
enness. The constitution becomes alb
solutely impregnated with the concoc-
ton, and, worse than all, an absinth
drinkers children are bound to be
weak both in mind and body. The
enormous increase In France Of late
years of consumption and other tuber-
cular diseases is, say the doctors, due
to nothing else than the abuse Of alb
smith, and the present cabinet is cred
tied with the resolve to introduce strin-
gent legislation against It's sale at the
next session Of the chamber of depu-
ties.
