Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear. ;as
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to kide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't. =.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you cant expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be

can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

A CASE IN POINT.

To The New York World we are in- debted for the following little story of real life in the great city:
 A woman with her four little children, the youngest of whom was but years old. day. Toward night she went with her drenrhed little ones and applied for lods- Ing in a vagrant's cell. The story she told was this: Her husband Is an cleo trical worker who was ordered out of work on strike. Being out of work he soon ran out of money. Being out of money. he failed to pay his dues to the labor union: of which he was member, and for such failure he was promptly ex- peled from the union. Then: being a union man. he was unable to pro- cure work and his family was driven in to the cold hospitality of the streets.
 If this were a solitary instance of the wrongs brought about by union tyranny 1t would hardly attract attention. but 1t is one of many cases familiar to those who keep up with the news of the day. No doubt there are a great many in stances of like nature which never get to the public but enough of them are print ed to show the effects of labor system which is fast reaching the limit of public patience. That limit is bound to be reached before a great while and then | scoundrels of the Parks brand and the whole band of walking delegates who | live off the earnings of others. and whose only object in life is to stir up strife and discontent and to foment hard feeling: and dissensions between employers and employees will have to go to work for 6 living or will be put to work with stripes on.
 case like that cited by The World ap- peals to the benevolence and Christian charity of all lovers of humanity but il appeals with infinitely greater force tc lovers of justice. To force laborine man to go out on a strike. then expel him from the union. and then prevent him from getting work because he is not a member of the union is piling injustice on cruelty and weighting it down with devilish inhumanity. It will have to end or be ended, just as sure ns there is man. hood In man.

IT FAILED TO PROHIBIT.

Resclnding the order or regulation which prohibited the use of tobacco by the cadets at West Point is but another evidence of the impossibility of controll- ing the human appetite by human laws or regulation. We are told that the au- thorities at West Point have discovered that the order did not prevent the use of |, tobacco, but it did prevent truth telling. In plain English, the young men would use tobacco and then lie about it. if ac- cused.
 Many and stringent have been the laws to regulate, control or repress the human appetite. The Divine laws have not in all cases been powerful enough to pre- vent men and women from indulging in | pleasures and practices not always best for them, and when the laws of God 1 are set at naught it will be found dif-

 ava,rv It's most notable feature is tts range. which is five miles. It Is foreeone conclusion that after trial Of the new arm by the troops first equipped a general order will be received to con- tinue the manufacture ana equip the whole army, as the special board appoint ed by the ordnance department has made a favorable report on the weapon.
 Tn recent tests the target used consisted of about twenty squares of white pine, one inch thick, which were mounted Ver- ticaIly one inch apart. Bullets shot from the improved cartridges of the new rine at a distance of fifty-three feet from the nearest square showed a penetration Of 54.7 of the boards, and at 1,5OO yards the penetration was 6.3. According to q law deduced by ordnance experts the feshy part of a mans body, from front to back, offers the same resistance to a bullet as does & plank of white pine one inch thick. On this theory 1t is claimed that the new rife will shoot bullet through the bodies of fifty-five men formed in straight column, all facing the muzzle. the near est man being fifty-three feet away; at distance of 800 yards 1t will mow down twenty-three men; at 1000 yards thirteen men, and at 1,500 yards six men. The Krag-Jorgensen rifle now in use will mow down forty-six men, as against the nfty- five of the new arm.
 Although the new rifle will carry five miles soldiers will not attempt to use 1t at that range, 2.000 yards being consid- cred the greatest distance at which soldier with sharp eyes, even when aided by a telescope, can see a human target with sufficient acuracy to aim.
 The new bullet will have 43.3 grains of powder, as against F.6 in the bullet now in use. The muzzle velocity of the weap- on is 2,300 feet per second. or 300 feet faster than the muZzle velocity of the Krag. The bullet of the new arm is equal to the old in diameter as we'll as in weight, but its greater charge of powder increase the weight of the entire cart ridge grains. Still the total weight of the new rife, with bayonet, scabbard and 100 cartridges. Is one pound less than that of the old. This is the result of a clever arrangement of the new arm. It is six inches shorter over all than the old. With it's new substitute for a bayonet and scabbard 1t weighs 9.F pounds, against the 10.64 pounds of the Krag-Jorgensen, with the present bayonet and scabbard.

TIL ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE.


 A bill has been unanimously reported by the House Committee on Appropria- tons making an appropriation to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute of sSooo annually for four years for the purpose of erecting additional buildings for the accommodation of the increased number of, students in that institution. The measure seems in every way r1eritorious and 1t is to be hoped that the Legisla- ture can see Its way to speedily enacting it into law. It has been fifteen years since an appropriation was made by the State for the erection of buildings at Auburn, and meanwhile the attendance has more than doubled-the number of students now present being something over go.
