La Grippe is Epidemic Catarrh.

Ut spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant, the aristo-
crat and the pauper, the masses and the
classes are alike subject to la grippe.
None are exempt-all are liable.
Grip is we'll named. The original
French term, Ia grippe, has been short
ened by the busy American to read

Without intending to do so, a new
word has been coined that exactly de-
scribes the case. AS if some hideous
giant with awful grip had clutched us

the story goes, was a victim. He is a
New Yorker. DR.. Harris might be ex-
pected to know the Town and it's wavs.
Nevertheless he was picked as a VIC
tim. The arch corspirator, according
to the story, was John Strosnyder who
hired the remains Of a defunct gam
ping house for single night, and for
this single night furnished all that was
requisite to his stage picture-bric-a-
brac, furniture, hangings, pictures. as
we'll as the faro and roulette tables.
Inc stan was organized and drilled, A
score OF men were hired to represent
company of gamblers. Those who
came in dress suits received $40 for
their evenings acting. Those who
wore ordinary clothes received but SIS.
The actors were provided with money
to lose, and were duly prevented from
actually carrying away from the place
any winnings.
Into this gilded zen DR.. Harris was
brought with 10000 in his clothes, He
saw men lose and he saw them win.
He saw the confederate win; and he
finally saw him lose several thousand
dollars. Also he lost his own $4,000.
The thing was so we'll done, we are
told, that Harris never suspected that
everything had been arranged for his
special benefit, or rather for his special
destruction.

HOW TO WIN IN BATTLE,
Method Of Procedure Which Ena bled

Russians.

According to the Corriere della Sera,
of Milan, Gen. Oku, commanding. the
Japanese Second army, which has
played conspicuous part in all the
battles in Manchuria since it defeated
the Russians under Gen. Stackleberg
at Vafangow early in the present war,
issued on February 20 last the follow
ing general orders: 'Artillery fire is
the best method of preparing an at
tack; but, even when heavy guns are
used. firing at the enemy's position is
alone comparatively useless, so long
as it is not taken advantage of for an
infantry advance, The infantry must
always move forward, no matter how
slowly. Positions once occupied must
never be abandoned If strong coun-
ter attack is expected, prepare for it

Troops advancing to the attack
must carry sandbags to construct
defensive positions, as at this season

JEALOUS OVER BASEBALL.
British Have Lots to Say Against thu
National Game Of the
United States.

The British are so jealous OF Amer1.
can baseball that they are staying uI
nights to invent words to express them
selves with proper JUNCTION to fit thell
green eyes, says the Worcester (Mass.)
Telegram. They have no sport over
there which is run as business for the
amusement of the people, as the the
aters are, and they refuse to learn the
necessity of cultivating the baseball
fever SO that it will rage in their old
country and keep thousands awake who
now doze away a large part of the time.
An infant of three years was lost by his
mother in New York few days ago,
and the police searched for hours and
finally found the infant sitting in the
grass near a baseball diamond, where
professionals were playing to a big
audience, and clapping his little hands
in the height of delight. They are born
to the game in the United States, and
never outgrow it,
ing of the great national game: In
itself baseball is a really fine game, but
there is no conscience in it. The field
ing side is allowed to yell at the man
with the club in order to rattle or put
him off his swipe, the spectators have a
right to make a diabolical din for the
same reason, and the unfortunate UNI
pire who gives decision against the
fielding side is lost in circle of yell
ing. gesticulating FORMS clad like aero
bats" That is dreadful arraignment,
but it has green eyes set all through it.
The British would be delighted with
just such a scene If they only had the
vim 10 play the game, and the Outlook
would be glad to help on the hOWlers
in the din. 1t iefers to the opinion Of
cricketers who have seen a game of
baseball. and says they know how wide
and deep is the gulf which separates the
two games. Then it adds that the games
the United States has acquired from the
British the Americans have "garbled
into pursuits which we should not recOg-
nize"
There is no question about that state
ment. The British cannot recognize
several o. the sports which have been
imported and improved as other British
institutions have been by Americans.
The claim is made also that the Austria
lians have gone wild over baseball, and
are spelling the only good game cricket,
by slow degrees. and getting farther and
farther away from the glorious old
sports of the old country. The British
have seen the skill of Americans in the
games which are slow enough for the
old country, and they have lost impor-
tant contests to them so many times
that they should be able to see that the
American methods in the sports are as
far ahead of those of the British as are
the business methods which have placed
Americans far ahead in the markets of
the world.

group of city youngsters admitted to
the experiment have delved with great
enthusiasm. They haven't been forced
to get out of bed at five a. m. They
haven't had the hardships of real farm
life, but they have had real work Of
the lighter sort AMI apparently have
enjoyed it immensely. The big farm
garden is divided up in such way as
to show the relative results of individ-
ual labor. The careless Boys and girls
will not have products to show in COM
parison with those resulting from
more careful enterprise. And there are
to be prizes at the end of the season,
and a "show."
Incidental to this pretty game is an
other of very interesting kind. The
little farmers have been organized in
to community. They have elected
Peter Christman, a yellow haired lad
of Is, as mayor. Peter has a "cabi-
net," in which there are borough presi-
dents and judges: Esther Green, aged
IA, is judge, and clever little person
she is. There are police, and clerks,
and district attorney also-young
Robert Clark, not quite IA, is district
attorney. I am told that there has
been some spirited electioneering and
that votes may have been bought by
the promised transfer of radishes and
other truck
Possibly the experiment in politics
was not intended 10 be quite SO realis-
tic as this.

navy. A table recently prepared by the
English Navy and Record gives tie fol-
lowing cost of maintenance of an en-
listed man in four of the big navles Of
the world: In the United States navy it
is $565; in the English navy, $500; in the
French navy, $3.50, and in the Russian
navy, $3.50, or only half that in the Eng
lish navy and less than half that in the
United States navy. Under the head Of
food and allowances.
An estimate of the pay received by
men and petty officers in the American
navy can be formed by taking the pay
roll of one of the battleships. There
is the Maryland, for instance, which is
one of the latest battieships to go into
commission. She has 731 enlisted men,
Of whom Is per cent. are petty officers.
The lowest wage paid is $40 month and
the highest $75.47. Seven of these
petty officers receive more than SIS a
month. There are II more who get over
$40 and less than SIS; four who receive
more than $50 and less than $40; rs more
than $50 and less than $50; 80 more than
$40 and less than $50; 1874 more than $50
and less than $40. and 1879 more than
$25 month.
No foreign battleship can compare
with that record for the pay of it's en-
listed force, and this does not include
the extra pay and allowances such as are
received by seamen in charge of holds,
qualified gun pointers, who get from 81
to $40 to their regular pay and five
dollars month to the gun cap
tains. A man on the retired list of the
navy gets three-fourths of his active
pay, and it is possible for enlisted men
to obtain homes with better facilities
than the average wage worker in other
lines.

HEART RIGHT

Life Insurance Companies will not
Insure a man suffering from heart
trouble. The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often the
heart trouble is caused by an unex-

taken in time and properly treated.

posed to give semioficial denial to them,
but now they are source of consider
able amusement to him. 1t delights
him to spring surprise upon the pub
lie and especially upon the newspa-
per men in regard to new appointments
in the cabinet. He still chuckles over
the way he kept the secret of the selec-
ton of Charles J. Bonaparte for the
navy portfolio. He announced this Sc
lection one evening to a group of news
paper correspondents and smiling at
their looks of surprise, he remarked:
well; you will admit that for once the
president 'scooped' the press"
There is one member of the cabinet
that the political gossips have taken
out of it score of times, but who is
still firmly fixed. This is Secretary OF
the Interior Hitchcock, who has held
his place for over six years. Since the
death Of President Mckinley no mention
of cabinet reconstruction has been
complete without the prediction that
Mr.. Hitchcock would resign There
have been many changes and with the
exception of Mr.. Hitchcock and Secre.
tary Wilson and Secretary Hay those
who served in the Mckinley cabinet
have all returned to private life and pur.
suits. Mr.. Hitchcock's work in the un-
earthing of land frauds and the prose-
cution of those engaged in them make
him one of the most valuable members
of the cabinet, and one on whom Presi-
dent Roosevelt relies for honest admin
istration.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson gives
promise of breaking all records in hold
ing place in presidents cabinett. On
March 5th last he entered upon his ninth
year as secretary of agriculture. It is
believed to be unprecedented in the his
tory of the government that a cabinet
officer should serve through two terms
in the same position and enter upon a
third term. In all probability Mr.. Will
son will round out - years as the head
Of this very important department of the
government.
