147 men and 2S7 women: but in 1900
only five men and thirty women. AS
is well known, in. Munich, the con-
sumption of beer per capita is greater
than elsewhere in the world, and the
percentage of heart'disease is higher;
Beer has worse Influence on the
heart than either wine or whlskey;;
Tobacco is better borne by adults ana
the aged than the youth. No youth
should be allowed to smoke before the
age of twenty-one. Wine has been
said to he the mind of old age; 1t
should not be used until past the noon
of life.
That the German census shows re-
duction of old men since the war with
France is natural. The age of indus
trialism, of city life, of strain, of alco-
hol aud of the venereal diseases, with
increase of "tabes dorsalis," and gen
eral paresis, is in the present age OF
Germany, as it is of the United States.

SPAN OF HUMAN LIFE.
Steadily Increasing Because the Mind
is Kent Occupied.


Medical meu are discussing lecture
by Prof. Phuger, of the university of
Bonn, On longevity, in which he as
serts that the,average length of human
life is steadily increasing. He main
tans that one-third Of all the deaths
registered in Munich are due to heart
disease, brought on by the immoderate
use of beer, and that tobacco also
claims large percentage of the vic
Tins.
Among forty centenarians who have
come under his notice there was only
one smoker, while nearly all profes=ed
to a moderate use of alcohol.
What Prof. Pfluger most seriously
warns people against is the thought
and fear of death. The mind must he
occupied, he says, in order to secure
longevity. Hardworking men who re-
tire, rarely live. much longer.

that in 1871 the centenaries numbered

Emphmsize Sex Distinctions.
BY President G. Stanley Hall Of Clark
University, Worcester, Mass.


University, Worcester, Mass.
The school and all institutions
should push sex distinction to its ut
most. Make boys more manly. and
girls more womanly. Do not forget
that motherhood is very ditfetent
thing from futherhood.
One bad effect of cO-education in
girls is seen in all statistical studies,
which show that their ideals are not
found among noble women, but in
men. About eighteen out of a hun
dreh college girls even go SO fai as to
state that they would rather be men
than women, and more than one-half
choose man ideals. This suggested to
a recent writer that unless there was a
change we would soon have Il female
sex without female character.
When a girl refuses to marry duke
il is because he refuses to ask her.

armies. With the meager resources at his
command and the powerful foe he faced,
it is doubtful if any other soldier general
in history could have accomplished what he
did. Could Alexander, could Hannibal,
could Napoleon, could Wellington? With
all due Difference to the great abilities of
the revered military commander who de-
feated Lee and won Appomattox, could
Grant? And then his consideration for the
feelings, the wounded pride, of that de.
feated foe! At Yorktown came the clos
ing scenes of the long and bloody struggle,
and CORVALLIS, surrounded by the Amer
leans, was compelled to surrender to Wash
ington. As the British were marching from
their entertainments to lay down their
arms, Washington thus addressed his vic
torious and e~xulting troops:
MY Brave Fellows-Let no sensation of
satisfaction for the victory you nave won
induce you to insult the enemy. Let no
shouting, no clamorous huzzaing in
crease their modification. Posterity will
huzza for u.s."
This virtually ended the war, and the fol-
lowing season not an armed British SOL
der was treading American soil. The
yoke Of England, that had so long OPP
pressed the colonists, had been lifted from
their necks.

AS president Washington gave many
evidences Of his ability as a public civil Of

but he had clear judgment, keen foresight,
lncorruptible integrity and a common
sense way of looking at and deciding mat
tiers that seldom led him into error. The
public questions that arose during his ad-
mlnlstratlon were new and perplexing.
whether he was advised as much as our
later presidents were the records do not
disclose. One thing, however, is certain.
he did not have the help of the newspapers
In his decisions Of tangled problems as
much as the later-day presidents have had.
some OF his executive acts were criticised,
but as time removed the prejudices then
existing and threw greater light on affairs,
the acts he performed and the opinions he
expressed and held have proven, in the
main, to. have been correct. His public
services as president were devoid of self

party prejudices, and prompted by mo-
tlves that he believed to be for the best
interests of the nation.

WASHINGTON IN CIVIL LIFE

The independence of the colonies having
been secured, the great problem which
faced the new nation was the formation of
a constitution which would harmonic the
conflicting views of the leading men from
the different colonies, who were clamoring
for certain reserved rights of local admins
%tration, and which would, at the same time,
give to the general government a central.
lied power that would meet its wants and
needs and enable it to take its stand, equal
in efficiency and endurance, among the
other great nations of the earth.
"a convention was called to consider this
momentous question. 1t met at Philadel-
phia in 1887. Washington was sent as a
delegate from Virginia and by a unanimous
vote was placed in the presiding officers
chair. The result was the present consti.
tuition of the United States Excepting the
amendments). 1t created a nation with
supreme powers for all the purposes Of gen.
.eral government, but it left With the states.
as state governments leave with cities and
towns, those minor questions Of local gov
eminent and law which our forefathecs
thought the states could best solve for
themselves.

PURITY OF CHARACTER

In purity Of character and freedom from
vices of every kind, Washington stands as
a model! for American youth~His reply to
his indignant father, whose impetuous ma
ture was aroused by the apparent wan.
toness of the cutting of his f%avorite cherry
tree: Father, I cannot tell a lie; l cut the
tree" was a striking symbolical ~illustra-
ton of the development in boyhood of the
character of his manhood. During the war
with France, when Washington was a
colonel. in. the British army, many of the
men in his regiment of provincials were
frontiersmen, coarse and wicked and pro.
fame. He abhorred the vice OF swearing
and, determined to break it up, issued the
following official order:
"Col. Washington has observed that the
men of his regiment are very profane and
reprobate. He takes this opportunity to
inform them Of his great displeasure at
such practices, and assures them. that. if
they do not leave them off they shall be
severely punished. The officers are de.
sired, if they hear any man swear or make
use of any oath or execration, to, order the
offender 25 lashes Immediately. without a
court-martial. For a second ~otfense. he
shall be more severely punished" !,
So prevalent were profanity and vulgar
ity in the army during the first year of the
revolutionary war that in 1856 he issued the
following notice to his soldiers at New
York:
"The general Of the. army is SORRY to, be
informed that the foolish and distasteful,
practice of swearing is growing in fashion.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1903-02-19
AS A HERO

Unlike most of the great military com
manders of history, Washington was not
trained to the manual of arms. He was
not a professional soldier, as were Alexan-
der the Great, Julius Caesar, Hannibal,
Napoleon and Grant. When his country
called him to battle with its foes he was
engaged in civil pursuits. He dropped
these to enter its service, and when its
wars were over he laid aside the sword and
returned to the avocations of the civilian.
And yet Washington as a general takes
rank with those military heroes who made
martialism their life business.
In the hostilities with the Indians, when
he acted as a major, and in the war with
France, when he was a colonel, he displayed
skill, courage, GOODNESS and all those ele.
ments which mark a born leader of men in
time Of war. One instance showing this in
a high degree occurred during the war with
Braddock's army. The lack of caution ON
the part of this British officer during the at
tempt to accomplish the reduction effort
zDuquesne led his army into an ambush the
Indian allies of the French had planned,
and, while they were marching, through
the forests unmindful of danger, like the
burst of a storm from the cloudless sky
came the roar of musketry and the raining
Of bullets. No foe was to be seen; vet
every tree concealed a lurking savage and
over every stone was pointed a hostile rifle.
Braddock and hundreds of his brave men
fell in death. Half the army gone, the re-
mainder broke in wild confusion and fed.
Washington, familiar with Indian warfare
and tactics, with his REGIMENT of 400
