Americas Idle Men.

There is great demand for labor
on the farms of the United States and
Canada, and also in certain trades and
industries. At the same time there
are thousands of men without employ
ment who will not seek it where there
is necessity for help, or whose appll-
cations for work would not be rejected
if they put them in. This is due to
two causes: first, because many are
60 enamored with city life that they
would prefer to be idle and often
hungry in large community than to
be busy, well.fed and on the way to
prosperity in the country. They crave
the excitement of the city, and the
country is too slow for them. Of
course, common sense teaches that
their view is a mistaken one, but it is
held by multitude OF persons VINO
swell the generally idle class in our
large cities.
Again, many are idle because they
have never been taught how to do
anything useful. They have no trade
or profession. They are too proud to
do laboring work and frequently, by
reason of their habits, are physically
unfit to perform it. They prefer to
live by their wits, which are often
precious small, and to trust to luck or
to friends or relatives to supply them
with the necessaries Of life. Hence it
is that while employers in many
branches Of industry are looking for
help, the streets Of our great cities are
lined with men who are worse than
idle and who never do hard work on
ly upon compulsion.
Every year thousands of hard work.
ing foreigners come to this country
and find employment, and many of
them in a few years establish homes
which they own. At the same time
a multitude of native Americans are
spending their whole time in idleness
and worse. The fault lies largely
with the fathers and mothers of the
country. They should insist that every
boy shall be taught to do something
useful and to acquire the habit Of
working. The lawmakers might also
take hand. Many evils are claimed
to result from large quantities of land
lying idle, but worse ones are un-
doubtedly due to the existence Of a
large class of idle men in our nation.

A Touching Story

is the saving from death of the baby
girl of Geo. \. Eyler, Cumberland, Md.
He writes: "At the age of II months,
our Little girl was in declining health,
with serious Throat Trouble, and two
physicians gave her up. We were al
most in despair, when we resolved to
try Dr. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds. The first
bottle gave relief; after taking four
bottles she was cured, and snow in per-
feet health" Never fails to relieve and

Not So Deadly.

One thing which the present war
in the Far East has proved is that
even the modern torpedo is not quite
such a deadly and effective weapon
as it was supposed to be. The war
began with torpedo attack by the
Japanese in the most favorable cir
that is to say, a surprise
swoop upon an uuready enemy. The
assailants at Port Arthur discharged
more than 90 torpedoes and made
only three hits. But the hits knocked
two Of the finest Russian ships off the
effective list, so that the attack may
considered successful, alth ough in
theory not a Russian vessel should
have been left aAoat. Torpedo war;
fare is the most dashing, dangerous
and ruthless of all the forms of mod
ern fighting at sea. With a craft
whose outside cost may be put at
$50, 900, manned by few daredevil
officers and men, it is possible with
luck TO destroy utterly a ship on which
s. 100000 had been spent and car
rying nearly 1000 souls. Even sup.
posing the assailing craft is totally
removed and her people killed or
drowned, yet her loss is trihe if her
mission of sinking or completely in
oapacitating a battleship or cruiser
has been successfully accomplished.
The odds are obviously against de-
stroyer which makes a swoop on a
a watohful and prepared enemy, risk
ing everything and making a dash
through literal hail of shot in the
hope that before humiliation one OF
both the torpedoeS which are carried
in the tubes may be fired and the
object struck.
Another way is to steal unobserved
toward war ship as the japanese
did at Port Arthur and let one OF
two of the terrible weapons loose
! before retiring swiftly into the dark
ness. In any case, with an effective
hit the end is quick and sure. The
cruiser or battleship struck well be.
low the water line in that unarmored
part which rends like paper heels
over and sinks before anything can
be done to save her or her people can
escape. The lessons Of war, go far,
while showing that the power Of the
torpedo has been somewhat overrated,
still go to prove the formidable nature
of this weapon when skilfully and
couragaousIY handled, and incidental
ly show the wisdom Of the change Of
construction in British destroyers.
