PublIc Spirit.

Our papers frequently allude to Bir- mngham's need of public spirit, but they until this city catches mp with other cities in the line of progress referred to-" remarked young business man.
 Birmingham is one of the best adver- tised towns in the south, but if our business men and citizens in general would cooperate and do their best to promote public-spirited movements, Bir- mingham would grow even faster than 1t does. Public spirit has made Atlanta, and it will make any city of ordinary advantages, Birmingham has extraordi- mar advantages and with a reasonable degree of public spirit It would double it's population within the next ten years.'

NOW IT IS THE CHARCOAL BATH. New York Telegram to the Pittsburg Dis

patch.
 Charcoal baths to reduce flesh have been introduced by Mamie Gilroy, the actress known as Lady Bountiful.' She claims to have lost thirty pounds by the simple process of bathing twice day In an inky liquid made up of five pounds or pulverized charcoal and ten gallons or water. She remains in the water about five minutes, vigorously rubbing herself with a bath glove. Besides reducing flesh Miss Gilroy says this treatment imparts a marble-like firraness and alabaster whiteness to the body. No dieting or ex- ercise is necessary. At first the massage is rather gritty, but after vigorous ma nipuation the solution becomes oily making the charcoal bath luxury as well as a frstrate anti-fat specific.

Eorces and Losses In the ClvlI War.

The New Orleans Picayune recalls some of the war statistics contained in offical records. In round numbers the south put 6o0,OoO men in the field, drawn from 6,Oo0,OOo of population, while the north mustered in 2,S00,000, drawn from 20,O00,0O0 of population. These gigantic armies fought one of tie greatest conflicts, covering four years, in the entire course of warfare absolutely the greatest of civil wars.
 The records show that the losses of the north were as followsi
 Killed in battle.----. .-.-.. .--- ...... 44,23S Died of wounds>-.- s-A-~ .... .... 49, 205 Died from disease. .>. ----. ...... .... 86.216 Suicide, homicide and execution.... 526 Died In southern prisons. .-.-.-........ 24.1S4 Total federal dead..-. ....-. .--... 8O4. 36g
 The Confederate records and muster rolls in tho hands of the government at Washington are incomplete, but so far as they go they show these losses: Killed in battle. =. ..-- .... .-....... 52, ,954 Died of wounds--@- e~-- S-.. ~. .... H,570 Died of dtsease.--- --.s 59,297
 Total...-.- s.-- s----~ .~--.... 133,S21
 The union losses, according to these figures, were between Il and 12 per cent, while the Confederate losses were between IT and IS per cent. If we accept the official figures we find that the total loss of life in the four years of war, by war and of war, was 49s, ,19o. The greater probability is tLar fully half million lives were los, in the course of the war. Few wars in the history of the world were more destructive to life.
 The bloodiest battle of the civil war, in proportion to the number engaged, was Chickamauga, where the loss was 27 per cent. At Gettysburg it was "A per cent: at Stone River the loss was also 24 per cent. No battle since 1865 has equalled these battles in waste of life. P1eona, fought in 1877 between the Russians and Turks. approached the nearest to the American battles, The loss at Pleona was 22 per cent. Vionville of the F'ranco-German war of 1Q70 xryoe tho hIA4dioek aN kboE ...oo4 but brief struggle, and its loss of life was 19 per cent.
 Before the civil war there were bloodier battles, but at Solferino the loss was but 10 per cent; at Inker- mann, 16 per cent. and at Waterloo, 24 per cent. The bloodiest battle of the Napoleonio wars was Eylau, in 1907, between the French and Rus sians. The loss In that battle was 83 per cent, and even this rate was exceeded at Zorndorf in 1758, where the Prussians and Russians fought and the loss was 38 per cent.
 It is plain from a study of these figures that losses decrease as the range of the guns are increased. The combatants now fight mile apart, and great losses in battle are no longer possible. In fact, the losses In some of the Roman battles, where they fought with short swords, far exceeded mod ern losses.
