NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Killed Him with a Club.

Waschi Czenevos, 25, was brought from
Fitzwilliam to Keene Wednesday on the
charge of having murdered Adam Car
piska. He was held for the October term
of the superior court without bail.
The two men who were employed at a
lumber camp in Fitzwilliam, We're paid
Tuesday and they took the rest of the
day off. They drank heavily and Czeno-
Vos and Carpiska got into quarrel over
which of them was the better violin player.
Carpisca finally broke the other mans
instrument and started to beat him, but
was prevented by other men who were
present Carpiska then went out behind
barn to sleep. Czenovos waited until
Carpiska was asleep and then walked
over and struck him on the head with a
club, killing him. He returned to the
house and then went back again to See
If his victim was dead. He once more re-
turned to the house and the men asked
him where the blood came from that
was on his shirt. Czenovos told them he
had killed Carpiska for striking him. He
tried to escape but was caught. In the
police court Czevos told the circum-
stances, saying he had done it to get even.
He appeared unconcerned when he told
his story. The prisoner does not look
vicious or quarrelsome. He seemed to
think he was justified in the killing.
The dead mans skull was fractured and
his neck dislocated. Both men were mar
ried and have children.

Prevent!on and Mastery Of disease.

1t is probable that most of us have
heard more or less about the remarkable
success which attended the efforts of the
Japanese TO prevent and control disease
among their armies in Manchuria; but IL
has remained for Major Louis l.. Seaman
to place the full facts before the world
in a work to which he has given the APP
propriate title, Real Triumph of Japan"
The high reputation of Major Seaman as
an army surgeon, and the fact that his
assertions are based upon personal OBJ
servation during his presence with the
armies in Manchuria, place the state
ments contained in his work, extraor-
binary though they be, beyond all ques-
ton as to their veracity and accuracy.
1t is shown by Longman's tables that
for nearly two centuries past, in wars
that extended over any great period of
time, on an average at least four men
have persisted from disease to every one
who has died of wounds. In the late
Boer war S221 officers and men were
sent home on account of wounds, while
GA were invaded home by disease.
Major Seaman quotes from Vital Sta
tistics for 1898, in which the surgeon
general of our army shows that while
deaths from battle casualties were $685.
those from disease amounted to 3,6S1 or
IA from disease to one from casualty.
These surprising figures are compared
with the record made by the Japanese
The Japanese statistics show that from
February, 1904 TO May, 1905, although
52,946 were killed or died from wounds,
only 1892 died from various diseases.
That is to say, only one died from sick
ness to every four and one half men
who died in battle or from wounds.
This complete reversal of the statistics
of the two leading nations of western
civilization constitutes, according to Ma
jor Seaman, the real triumph Of Japan;
for II Is a fact that in their war with
China only ten years before, the Jap
anese lost about the same average as
| that which prevailed during our own
civil war, namely, three from disease to
one from bullets. In that war they real
| lied that disease was even more fatal
than the enemy's weapons, and in the
| intervening years they set out to master
| the invisible foe with a success to which
the statistics, as above given, bear elo-
quent testimony. These results were OBJ
| tained by careful study of military sani-
| tation and hygiene, and by a most thor
| ough archaeological examination of the
water along the line of march and in
the vicinity of the camps. The water
testing outfit formed part of every sani-
tary detachment, and every foraging
and scouting department was accompa-
MED by medical officer, who made an
examination of the water to be used by
the troops. In view of the extraordinary
facts developed as the result OF Major
Seamans investigation, It is not putting
the case too strongly to say that, as mat.
ters now stand, the medical corps has as
much, II not more, to do with the win
ming of campaigns and the mitigation Of
the horrors of war as any other depart
ment of the army.-[Scientific American

An Abundance Of Gold.

Reports from South Africa are to the
effect that this year the gold output will
be more than 800, 900, 900, and as there is
no diminution of the gold production of
other countries, it follows that 1906 will
far surpass all previous figures. The
record of cures made by the celebrated
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for surpasses
that of all other stomach medicines The
reason for its success is very plain when
you remember the fact that it has often
affected cures after other remedies had
failed. II you have never tried the Bit

Worn out Doomas.

At Andover. in Massachusetts,, there
is a theological school which has had a
famous history. Our readers outside Of
New England know little about It; but 1t
is one Of the signs Of the times that this
school, which represents all the ortho-
doxy there is left in the Congregational
body has now for lack OF students come
to the place where a question arises as to
It's future. The curious sign of the times
is the fact that the school at Andover
was founded in the last century with the
distinct intention of opposing the heresy
taught at the Harvard divinity school
and taught by Unltarians. Now one plan
under consideration is a connection with
Harvard university and the Harvard d.
vinity school, which is no longer distinctly
Unitarian. When the Andover school was
founded, its professors were required Ia
take oath that they would oppose athe-
lists, infdels, Jews, Paptists, Mohamme-
dams. Arians, Pelagians, Antinomians
Arminians, Socinians, Sabellians, Unita-
rians and Universalists. How antiquated
that now sounds-[Christian Register.

THE FACE ON THE CENT.
1t Is Not That Of an Indian, but of a
Pretty Little Girl.


Mrs. Sarah Longacre Keen, who lived
and died in Philadelphia, came nearer
being the queen of the American mint
than any woman who ever lived. With
the exception of Queen Victoria, whose
image was engraved on every coin of the
British and Indian empires Mrs Keen
was first in the number of her metal
photographs. Her face as girl of II
summers is to be seen on every American
cent issued since 1886 from Uncle Sans
coin factory.
1t is usually assumed that the face on
the head side of the copper is that of
an Indian, but a close look will reveal a
Saxon profile. Just borrow a cent and
look at it. The setting is that of an
Indian.
Between 1928 and 1910 James Barton
Longacre was chief engraver in the
United States mint in Philadelphia. In
1885 a competition was opened for
sketches and engravings for the new
copper cent that was to be issued and
which has since been in service. There
were over a thousand designs offered.
The prize was a good one. Longacre
racked his brain for some original and
singular design that would strike the
judges, but for months he failed to sat
isfy himself
One morning a number of Indians, with
| their chief, who had been to pay their
respects to the great white chief in
Washington, came to the city and were
shown through the mint. They were
/ introduced to the white chiefs picture
maker, who was just then showing his
young daughter Sarah the great concern,
| The old chief was attracted 'by the sweet
| faced maiden and her interest in his
feathers and paint. She childishly won
dered how she would look in the feather
ed headgear. This was told the chief
who solemnly Invested himself of his
| feathers and had them placed on the
girls head. The effect was so striking
that the father took time to make a
sketch of the picture, finishing 1t after
ward for his own amusement.
AT the last moment of the period given
| for sending in engravings he bethoughi
| himself of the possibility of the com
bination of Indian feathers and Saxon
sweetness. He got II in, and much sIori
was made of the child at the time ~ the
city because of the incident The sketch
passed through the seventh sitting ano
finally reached the last round. BY onS
vote II won, and ever since Sarah Long
acres young face has served for the
humb-est of coins, than which no single

neys send out a thin. pale and foamy, or
a thick, red ill-smelling urine, full OF
sediment and irregular of passage.
Danger signal No. comes from the
back. Back pains, dull and heavy or
sharp and acute, tell you of sick kidneys
and warn you of the coming of dropsy, 81
abetes and Brlghts disease. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them
permanently. Here's Brattleboro proof;

about eight months ago my kidneys
commenced to bother me and had pains
in my back and soreness across the loins
The worst symptom was a disorder OF
