LOVE OF FIGHTING.
II Seems to BE Unborn In the Aver
age Human Bein z.

We are all fond of fight ng-that is,
we all love to look at figh t. and some
of US Ike to be in n fight. But we all
love TO see one. There areSSome super
aesthetic and hyper refined humans of
both sexes who think they do not like
to see a fight. Some of them actually
believe they are sincere But deep
down in the average man. and woman
the love of fight exists. It'iS ingrained;
it is congenitaI; it is in the human ba-
by. When he screams, squalls and
kicks if his Will is thwarte,3. he iSsfight-
ing.
So with the same baby when. grown
up into a boy. he pulls his little sisters
hair. 1t is partly, perhaps. the love of
fighting and partly, Perhaps, the loveOf
giving pain, for cruelty also seems to
be part of the makeup OF the human
animal. After little brother has I'm
ished pulling little sister, 4hair and5she
has dried her eyes she SoOthes her

wings or legs or pinching tine cats tail
under Il rocking chair. OF the higher
flights of juvenile cruelty TO which her
brother rises when he ties two cats to-
gether by their tails over a clOtheSline,
where they fight till nothing is left but
their tail tips-of these familiar facts
we will not speak.
When brother goes TO schoOlIand then
to college, whether it be to the English
public" school or TO the American
public" school, resembling each other
only in name; to the acadUany, to the
preparatory school, to the university,
he speedily becomesIpast master in cru
city. In most of these institutions he
must fight. HaZing exists i'll every col
lege in the country. Even. the United
States government. cannot stamp it out
at West Point and Annapolis. In both
these institutions fist fights under prize
ring rules are of almost daily occur
renee. They are Observation-Disclosures, and
they have not a little to do with max
ing stout hearted, stalwart fighters of
our army and navy officers. To those
who object to these battles the unan-
swerable reply is that the boys are
there to learn to fight and that the way
to learn to fight is to fight.-San Fran

to local politics. He was elected county
auditor and served two terms, in the
course of which he became Il power in
the Republican politics of his section
of the state. His organization work
soon attracted Hanna's attention, and
in 1897 he was made secretary of the
Republican state executive committee
and in 1902 became its chairman,
which position he now holds.
1t is said that General Dick can
quote the exact election returns in any
county or city of the state for the past
dozen years, and the perfection of the
organization he has developed is shown
by the wonderful accuracy of his ante
election estimates. He always guesses
the results within a few thousands
sometimes within few hundreds
In 1896 General Dick served as sec
rotary of the national Republican com
mittee and was closely associated with
Mr.. Hanna in the preliminary canvass
for the nomination of Mckinley in
1896 and in the subsequent campaign.
He has been member of congress
since 1898 and is a major general in
the Ohio national guard.
In personal appearance General Dick
is rather striking, being tail and some
what spare. He is even tempered,
kindly, warm hearted and pleasant
man to meet. He is a strong partisan
and has a genius for organization and
for work. Toward the end of hot cam
paigns in Ohio he has been known to
go for days without sleep. He has an
infinite capacity for details, and his
friends say that if he devotes the same
energy to the work of the senate that
he has given to politics he will make
his mark as one of the most useful
members of the upper house Of con-

uncle Of the car. The Grand Duke
Cyril was born in 1876 is captain of
the FIfty-secOnd regiment of infantry
and wears the order OF the Black Ea-
gle. The Grand Duke Boris, his broth
er, is lieutenant in the hussars and is
considered a daredevil soldier.
The Grand Duke Nicholas is forty
seven years of age and is considered
the foremost cavalry expert in the
Russian army. He rs tall and fair,
with pleasant face, and as the oc-
cupant of the responsible post of in
spector general of cavalry he will be
able TO advise General kuropatkin.
Another sprig of royalty who may
fight for the car is Don Jaime, only
son of Don Carlos, pretender to the
Spanish throne. Don Jaime is carried
on the reserve list as captain of the
Russian regiment of the GrOdno hus-
sars of the guard. and at the time of
the Boxer insurrection in China he dis
tinguished himself while on the staff
of the Russian commander. 1t is said
that Don Jaime will join the cavalry
under Prince Louis Napoleon in Man
churia.
Senator Beyeridge. in his book The
Russian Advance" has this to say of
General Cierpitsky, whom he calls the
Kitchener of Russia: This commander
in 1901 suppressed brigandage in Man
churia and was in the field in person
at the head of his troops. Three thou
sand robbers were killed in less than
six weeks, 1000 were captured and
the rest scattered and hunted like
beasts into the caves and businesses of
the concealing mountains"
Japan, too. has many able and eX-
perienced generals who have proved
their skill and efficiency on many occa-
siOns, and they have fought over the
very ground where they must now meet
the Russians. First of these in order of
service is Field Marshal Yamagata.
When the war started with China in
1894 Yamagata was given command of
the first army that invaded Manchuria.
His health failed, however. and the
emperor, fearful of losing the services
of his-ablest officer, called him back
to Tokyo TO act as his chief military
adviser. After the war Yamagata was

a milky substance, thick and gummy,
in great abundance. which is collected
and allowed to settle in calabashes and
afterward softened in hot water or
smeared over the body and rubbed off
when sufficiently dry"
Even at that early date Spaniards
used the juice of the ule tree to water
proof their cloaks.
The first accurate account of these
gum elastic or caoutchouc trees was
furnished by La Condamine, who was
sent in 1873 By the French government

If there is any one to divide honors
with Yamacata. it is Field Marshal
Ovama. who is associated with him in
the council of war. Oyama has steadily

resulted in the capture of the two great
Chinese strongholds, Port Arthur and

Plant That Has the Power of Pu

There is plant growing in the
southern waters of the United States
which possesses the singular proper
ty of being able to render the most i'm
pure standing water perfectly healthy.
The people of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi call it the water lotus.
1t consists of leaves about the size of
the head of a pin and roots so fine as
to escape notice save under a micro
scopic inspection. Where it grows at
all, it covers the water and to the cas-
ual observer looks like coating of
green scum. The flowers and seeds
are microscopic. so that its appearance
in any given locality is not readily ac-
counted for, but wherever it does APP
pear the water beneath is always fit
to drink
SO marked is this property that fam
lilies using the water from bayous
where the lotus is abundant are known
to have better general health than
