NAPoLEoN'S METHODS.
The Way the Great Military Genius
Planned His Battles.

Planned His Battles.
In his work on Napoleon" Colonel
Dodge has an interesting passage on
Bonaparte's planning out Of his bat
ties. 1t runs:
spreading out and bending, some-
times lying, over his maps, with
compass in his hand, which cores
ponded to about seven or eight hours
march as the crow flies. being nine or
ten actual hours march markids the
position Of his corps and divisions with
various colored pins, as we'll as the
supposed locations Of the enemy, he or
dered the movements Of his army with
an accuracy Of which one can scarcely
have an idea. Moving his compass
across the map, he judged Immediately
according to the topography, roads and
season. how many marches and corps
required to reach on a given day a
certain place where he needed 1t and
the rate of speed demanded, and with
this knowledge (and his judgment was
absolute Of what troops could do) ne
dictated the instructions the execution
of which made him so famous. Napo-
leon avoided such general orders as
would inform the enemy Of his whole
sale plan should they reach him and
confined himself when possible to such
orders as would apply only to the
movements Of certain corps. Even ir
his own army he did not permit the
general plan to be known, lest IL shoulo
leak out Each corps commander was
given orders for his own manoeuvers
and was told what was essential about
the neighborhood corps. Just because
Napoleon was thus particular were hii
orders such models Of precision and
clearness."

when Bowen left. Andrew was nod
ding in his chair on the porch. and
Bessie walked with her lover to the
gate.
GOOD bye, Bessie, dear, may moi
see you soon again, for I don't know
the moment I may be summoned"
Good bye, dear Ellick," she said
as she raised her head in perfect con-
fidence to her lover, while he fondly
kissed her.
"And Bessie, take good care OF
yourself; no more lonely walks"
Never fear, Ellick, for your sake.
Still he fingered.

you look such a child in the moon
light with your long brown curls; and
yet you are such a woman. / loved
you better tonight than I ever die
before. 1t would kill me II augh'
would go wrong with you"
Don't fear for me-" said Bessie
laughing. Whats to trouble me?. It's
I that should fear for you-but some
how, I never dread; I am so proud
of your strength, so proud you are
such a big fellow"
He did not notice her playfulness
but clasping her to his heart again
and again. prayed to God to bless her
while Bessie still smiled. and with her
soft hand pushed the clustering hall
from his brow, till at length, finding
he would not go she threw her
white arms around his neck in all the
innocence of her childish heart, and
kissing him again and yet again, es-
capped from his clasp. and laughingly
cried good night" as she ran up the
path to the house.

TOBACCO HEART.
The Way Smoking Acts Upon and
Injuries the System.

The Way Smoking Acts Upon ane
Injuries the System.
Are you learning to smoke" boys?
Learning by heart-"tobacco heart?
Read what a doctor says In the Med
ical Summary and then enjoy your
smoke-if you can:
In smoking tobacco we take In car
bonic oxide, several ammonias and q
very poisonous oil containing nicotine
The ammonias and nicotine are the
substances which by acting in numer-
GUS directions are so injurious to the
system. The ammonias act on the
blood, making 1t alkaline and fluid
thereby impairing its nutritive prop
erty.
The stomach is debilitated and dys-
pepsia induced. The innervation OF
the heart Is disturbed, its action Is
weak, irregular and intermittent, and
faintness and vertigo are the conse-
|Quences.
Owing to the disturbances In the
blood and heart the process Of nutrt-
ton Is slow, and in the young serious.
ly affected tissue Is paralyzed and WIS.,
ion is impaired.
Tobacco Is essentially a functional
rather than an organic poison. II
modifies the special energies and moi
the structure. Tobacco Is eliminated
by the kidneys and very rapidly; con-
seauently the bad effects quickly dis
appear under proper treatment II
however, the habit Is given up.

In England They Are Helpful to
Weavers in the Handling
Of Yarn.

Should scientists succeed in finding
ways and means for dispelling the
foggy condition of England's atmos-
phere, am afraid that country will
lose more than it gains" said Barrett
Norman, of Boston, Mass, according to a
local exchange. One of the reasons
why English weavers produce fabrics
of finer and softer finish than Amer
lean weavers from the same quality OF
cotton and other yarn is because OF the
damp condition of the atmosphere in
that country at all times.
ut is well-known fact that yarn kept
continually and uniformly damp will
spin finer and softer than that drying
out in the process of weaving. Thou
sands of dollars have been spent by our
weavers in appliances to keep their
shops uniformly humid, but thus far
without success. The fine quality OF
Panama hats. for instance, if the
straw were not kept damp while the
process of weaving is on, could not
be produced. The straw is not worked
under water as many suppose, but is
kept uniformly damp by being worked
in the early morning hours when .
heavy dew is falling"

CAMEL CARRIES A CISTERN
stomachs Are So Wonderfully Con-
structed They Store Up
Water

The stomach of a camel is divided
into no less than four compartments,
and the walls Of one Of these are lined
with large cells. every one of which
can be opened and closed at will by
means of powerful muscles.
Now, when a camel drinks, it drinks
a great deal. Indeed, it goes drinking
on for such a long time that really you
would think that it never meant to
leave off. But the fact is that it is
not only satisfying it's thirst, but is
filling up it's c.stern as WELL Ono after
another the cells in it's stomach are
filed with water, and a5 soon as each
is quite full it is tightly closed.
Then when the animal becomes
thirsty, a few hours later, all that 1T
has to do is to open one of the cells
and allow the water to flow out Next
day it opens one or two more cells, and
so it goes on day after day until the
whole supply is exhausted. In this
curious way a camel can live five or
even six days without drinking at all.
and so is able to travel easily through
the desert, where the wells are often
hundreds of miles apart.

SENATE CAVEL WELL USED.
Has Been on Presiding Officers Table
for More Than One Hun
dred Years.

|, Assistant, Sergeant-at-Arms Stewart,
OF the United States senate, has or
dered silver band for the gavel that
is used by Senator Frye in calling the
senators to order. This gavel is un-
like most Of the symbols of authority
welded by presiding officers. 1t con-
sists of q piece. of ivory shaped like
an hour glass. Nobody knows the ORR
gin or age Of the gavel, save that it
has been used in the senate for more
than 100 years. 1t is yellow with age
and is slick and smooth as the re-
suit of long handling.
'The history of this gavel,'' said Mr.
Stewart the other day, lis wrapped in
mystery We have traced it back far
enough to know that it came to Wash
ington from Philadelphia in 1901, and
has been on the vice president's table
ever since. I have just ordered a sill
yer band with an inscription for the
gayel. 1t will bear the date 1901. One
hundred years after the arrival Of this
gavel in Washington we bought an ink
stand for the use o. the presiding OH
Ger of the senate The stand and the
gavel are the only pieces of furniture
allowed permanently on his, desk in
the senate" ntf 1''a#t
The senate is such a. decorous body
that the vice president never breaks
the boards in his desk pounding for
order. Over in the house the carpen-
ter has to put in a couple of new
planks in the speakers table every
session. During Reeds regime the
boards had to be renewed every month
or so. Tata"str T1fIstH Ff"afi

Bremerton, town OF Puget sound

were quick to sec the advantage OF be-
ing in a position to annex the pay roll
Of the men and in a short time there
were no less than 16 gin mills on the
main street of the town. AS result
the money of the employees was prompt
ly transferred to the till of the saloons
while the navvies received jags in re-
turn and discipline became imposst
BILE at the navy yard. s...,.s.,,.s
Finally the people of Bremerton were
given to understand that unless they
diminished and regulated the saloon
evil no more ships would be sent tc
that station for repairs. As soon az
the government showed it was in earn
est in this threat the authorities oi
Bremerton responded by raising. the
saloon license from $500 TO 1000 anG
banishing all saloons from the main
to side streets of the town. ;r3i iarsf
This had the effect at once of cutting
down the saloons to six and these are
well conducted, while, In addition, the
town has practically been freed from
vice, which always flourishes. in con-
nection with the low saloon. Work
has now been resumed at the navy
yard and the "jackies'' are once more
enabled to keep some money in, their
pockets and discipline can again be
enforced
