Ethics'and War,

Complaints of mot fighting fair"
such as those made by Admiral Alexieff,
are probably not to be taken. nor even
expected to be taken, seriously, but are
meant to excite some popular senti-
ment of the unreasoning kind. Such
complaints are an old story, and prob
ably will be repeated again and again
as long as wars are known. Every
combatant upon getting worsted, and
especially upon meeting with an un-
pleasant surprise, Is inclined to make
such a complaint. John Trumbull
sounded a universal note Of human
nature, apt to the case, when he re-
minded us that:
mo man eer felt the halter draw
with good opinion Of the law"
In like manner, no nation ever feels
the scourge of war upon it's own back
with a good opinion Of war or of that
way of waging it. Another eminent
American authority, our own Birdofre-
dunn Sawin, strongly set forth the same
sentiment while suffering the vicis-
situdes of the Mexican campaign:
THE Mex'cans don't fight fair, they
say; they pin all the water, =,
An du amazin' lots O things tibet isn't
wut they ough' to:
Bein' they hain't no lead, they make
their bullets out o. "copper"
An shoot the darned things at us, tu,
which Caleb sez amt proper;
He sez they'd ough' to stan right up
an let us pop 'em fairly, -,
(Guess wen he ketches 'em at thet he'll
hev to git up airly)."
Such complaints are not, however
the utterance of the real soldiers, who
realize that war is hell" and that to
protest against it's ruthless force and
fury is to protest against the very
thing itself-New York Tribune.

THE WONDERFUL TURTLE.
More Tenacious of Life Than Any
Other Creature.

Almost alone among Gods creatures
the turtle has but a single enemy
man. It does not seem to matter to
the turtle whether he stays beneath
the surface for an hour or a week, nor
does it trouble him to spend an equal
time on land If the need arises. He Is
neither fish, flesh nor fowl yet his
flesh partakes Of the characteristics Of
all three. Eating seems a mere super
fluffy with him, since for weeks at a
with the bung out) and emerge after
his long fast apparently none the
worse for his enforced abstinence from
food, from light. and almost from air.
And finally, it may truly be said that of
all the higher, warm -blooded organisms,
there are none so tenacious Of life as
the turtle. l can truly say that I have
seen the flesh cleared out of q turtle
shell and hung upon a tree, where for
hours the quivering. convulsive move
ments of the muscles went on. Not
only So but on one occasion only the
head and tail were left attached to the
shell. Some time had elapsed since the
meat had been cut out Of the carapace
and no one could have imagined that
any life remained in the extremities.
But a young Dane noticing that the
down hanging head had its mouth
wide open, very foolishly inserted two
fingers between those horny mandi-
bles. They closed, and our shipmate
was two fingers short; the edges Of the
turtles jaws had taken them off clean
with only the muscular power remain
ing in the head. Signor Redi once cut
turtles head off, and noted that 1t
lived for twenty-three days without a
head, and another whose brain he re-
moved, lived for six months apparently
unconscious that it had suffered any
loss.-Leslie's Monthly.

mails has been reduced or discontinued.
Why this should be done am at loss
to understand, because the report of
the postoffice department states as
follows:
Yorkville. S. c.; Salary Of postmas-
ter. $1,000; former allowance clerk hire.
5000: present allowance clerk hire,
500.
And in the column marked Excess
there is no entry whatever. There Is
no other mention Of this matter In the
report of the postofflce department
sent to the committee, and the letter
of the postmaster general transmitting
this statement along with some 900
other cases makes this statement:
That
Where no comment is made the al
lowance has been discontinued by rea-
son of the introduction Of rural free
delivery and the consequent discon-
tinuance of a star route mail service,
there being no separating service at
such offices.
I can understand this, for within the
past three years six rural free delivery
routes have been inaugurated at York
willie, S. c., and there Is no star route
service starting from that office. But
it may be stated by some evil-minded
person that this is put down for the
reason that the amount was excessive
at the time such allowance was made.
This can not be true. for the reason
that in headnote to the list given by
the department there Is this state
ment:
NoTE.-Where no excess Is shown
the allowance was warranted at the
lime 1t was granted.
So Mr.. Speaker, 1 repeat that | am
unable to give a reason why the York
VILE postof1ce is mentioned in the re-
port from the postoffice department
either as to allowance for rent. light,
and fuel or for the allowance for clerk
hire for separating service, except up
on the theory that 1t was done for
some sinister purpose.

a Wonderful Escape.

The French police are searching for
a burglar, by name Vanderwegaete,
who has made a wonderful escape from
Lille prison. where he was confined In
an underground condemned cell. He
had been placed there because he had
boasted that the gaol could not keep
him. The massive door of the cell
opened on to a corridor at the end of
which was another door, fitted with a
safety lock.
Locked up for the night on Monday.
Vanderwegaete was not to be found on
Tuesday morning. He had left a cou-
pie of keys made of tin behind him as
memento. 1t is supposed that he
made an impression of the lock of the
cell with the bread given to him. With
some more bread he made a mold, IN
which he cast a key out of tin cup,
the metal being melted on his stove.
The same night he opened his door,
took bread crumb impression Of the
corridor lock, made another key, and
soon found himself outside the corri-
dor. From q cupboard he distracted
sheet and a broom handle, which he
tied together, and made his way into
the prison yard.
After scaling the interior wall, which
is nine feet high, he climbed up anoth-
er wall by a waterspout and then
dropped Is feet, with the aid Of a
blanket which he had taken from his
cell. Breaking into a tailoring estab-
lishment close by, he exchanged his
prison uniform for fashionable suit
and overcoat. and took "a from the
till, and some cigarettes. He las not
been heard of since.-St. James Ga

BOUND no HIT.-A. popular preacher
tells good story of a young clergy
man who launched out on a strong
temperance sermon, says Tit-Bits.
When he had finished, a deacon said
to him:
49, II am afraid you have made mis-
take. Mr.. Jones. who pays the highest
pew rent who practically supports the
Sunday school and who is always
ready with a contribution when asked,
is a wholesale distiller. He is bound to
be angry
""I am sorry" said the minister. i
will go and explain it to Mr.. Jones,
and remove any unfavorable impress
sion, and tell him did not mean him..
Accordingly he waited upon Mr..
Jones, who, in addition to the profess
sion of distilling, also carried on
good many other branches of trade and
indulged in a good many amusements
of various kinds.
The pastor expressed his deep regret
to Mr.. Jones for anything he might
have said in the sermon which could
hurt his feelings. He was extremely
sorry, indeed; he did not mean any
thing by it, and hoped Mr. Jones would
not feel hurt.
He was somewhat relieved when,
with jovial air. the other said:
"Oh, bless you, don't mind that at
all. 1t must be mighty poor sermon
