GEN. oREELY REPoRTS ON Re-
LIEF AT SAN FRANCISCO.

Maj Gen. Greedy has sent a dispatch to
the War Department. under yesterdays
date. describing conditions in San Fran
cisco, as follows:
''The entire force Of selected officers ar
rived and both regiments. affording me suf-
fcient force to handle the situation effi-
ciently, both relief and otherwise. All
camps are gradually coming under proper
supervision and inspection. The following
rations were lately Issued in San Francisco:
May 5. 264,570; May 8. 262.O27; May z.
233,oS9 l believe that reduction today will
be followed by a steady decrease. Have
ample supply Of flour and vegetables. but
other materials will be exhausted in a few
days. Meat will be purchased for issue
every other day commencing tomorrow. An
officer or soldier will require each applicant
TO state that he Is destitute and can only
obtain food by public reiier. Adult males
will be questioned as to willingness to work
and notified that rations to them will
cease in few days. All applicants an
swering upfavorably will be rejected.
Condition OF thousands of refugees ter
rible for lack of suitable clothing particu-
larly women. Systematic arrangements
are, however. being made to distribute
under Red Cross regulations clothing and
other like materials to homeless and dest1-
tute Enormous quantities or supplies were
wasted prior to army supervision. Tomor-
row viii be the first time that forces were
sufficient to put soldier on each team haul
ing food and other supplies. Robberies and
diversions 30 frequent in the past are prac-
ticaIly ended.
Present trouble lies in repeaters and I'M
posters, which / hope shortly to eliminate.
Have ordered methods submitted by army
few days since, looking to cooking entire
food in cheap restaurants where food tickets
from army and Red Cross will be honored.
Devine and remain fully in accord as to
conditions UrOSDaCt9 and remedies R1lD-
lie opinion has so far invariably Endorsed
army methods and measures. Governor
Pardee, Mayor Schmitz and citizens COM
mittee alse cooperate most tremendously
with army. Altogether prospects are i'm
proving. Health conditions continue good,
but in that direction lies the only possible
danger. which 1 have confidence will be
averted"

From Notes and Queries.
Emerson was not the first to use this
phrase In his Conduct of Life" which was
published in 1890. In the first series Of the
Greville Memoirs. under date March y,
1880, occurs the following passage:
Then will come the question OF a dis
solution which one side afiirms VIII take
place directly. and the other that the king
will not consent to It. knowing, as the
man In the street. (as We cAIl him at New
market) always does, the greatest secrets
of dngs. and being the confidant Of their
hidden thoughts"
It would appear from this that the express
sion was IN common use among racing
men In 1880.

JAPANESE ARMY Suffers.
The Cantsen Follows Closely in TIE
Wake of the Moving
Troops.

One who was with the japanese
army in Manchuria for six months
says: old foreign campaignevs Ie-
marked in the field that no army prob
ably ever had 20 many canteens In its
wake. When the army was not
marching there was always a cantet'n
or two not far to the rear Of every
division. When it settled down 20
recuperate after battle canteeus
were quickly established in Manci!u
houses. These carried cigarettes,
writing paper. postcards. beer, imita-
tion brandy, imitation whisky. imita.
tion port, imitation sherry. sake and
sometimes Manila cigars.
Japanese are keen traders. Not
200 feet back of the Nanshan battery
one day in the seven-day battle OF the
Shaho there was a Japanese peddlsr
selling cigarettes, Chinese sweetcakes,
rice and beer to the reserves. During
the same battle the canteens wee
never more than three miles back Of
the front line OF trenches.
AS the Japanese soldiers pay is
~
ing banks had, considering that
phenomenal deposits, there was not
much spending money In the army.
A bottle OF beer cost ten cents and a
packet OF cigarettes about three
cents.
"WheHever there was a triing bat
tie the commander-in.chief would or
der sake distributed as a ration. On
the mikado's birthday year ago one
extra double packet OF cigarettes was
distributed to each man in the field.
This cost the emperor more than $15.-
900. Otherwise when the distribution
WAS possible ten cigarettes a day went
with the regular ration.
"One day in an American periodical
received at camp there was = solemn
poem celebrating the abstinence Of
the Japanese from drink.
This caused concern among the
Japanese officers. who disliked the
emphasis laid upon the difference be-
tween their army and European
army and the commissary general
told the foreign observers:
"'Our soldiers like drink as well as
any other soldiers. Sometimes they
need 1t when they cannot get 1t and
We send it to them in the trenches.
AS a matter OF fact, though the peas
ant at home has hard enough time
to supply himself with food, he 10 not
more averse than other people to
strong liquor once he learns the taste
OF it. Many a man will go home from
the campaign with tastes he never
had before. The manufacture OF beer
is still young industry in Japan, but
from the time the process was import
ed it has grown to enormous proper
tions. Headquarters. even battalion
headquarters in underground bomb
proof trenches, were always supplied
with beer or sweet wine. Marshal
Oyama liked sweet champagne. The
strategist OF the war. Gen. Kodema,
drank claret with every meal"

THOUGHT FOR UNsrccEssFUI.

When you, who have reached the summit
The goal Of your long sought hopes,
Look down from your crest, your glory and
rest,
To the ones on the dreary slopes,
Have you thought of the feeble efforts
OF those who are not SO strong
OF the ones who strain and strive to e. n
A place i'll the endless throng?
When the tide OF success enHulfed you.
You who've attained the end,
And the songs of cheer came ringing clear.
In harmOny's sweetest blend.
1lave you thought of the one who blindly
Grcped with an outstretched hand
When your race WAS won did you see the
one
who failed to understand7
You who have trod the pathway.
And know OF its thorn and stone.
And know what lies on the road ere eyes
All weary may claim their own,
Have you. with those eyes uplifted.
Whose goal may never be won.
Once given heed TO the word and the deed
Tsat might have been said and done!

INCIDENTAL INSOMNIA.
Sleep May Be Wooed by Taking a
Series of Deep Inspir-
ations.

1t commonly happens that persons
otherwise apparently in good health
find a difficulty in sleeping without
rupted by turns OF wakefulness; after
falling asleep for an hour or two they
awaken-a modified or incidental in.
somnia takes the place of normal re-
pose, says a correspondent of the Lon
don Lancet. l believe, and | suggest,
that this may be due TO a disturbance
of the equilibrium Of the cerebral cir
culation. The cause OF the distur bance
may be various. do not propose to
enter into the question of cause, but l
have in many instances successfully
counteracted the result by forced in
spiratory movements by assisting and
encouraging the return flow of blood to
the heart; by rapid and thorough ex-
pansion of the chest cavity, by the
vacuity produced the blood in the
great veins OF the neck and upper thor
ak is sucked in and hastened on to its
ultimate destination.
The large serrati muscles (costo-
scapularesl are more especially called
on for this duty. The serratus, by its
hindermost attchment to the pos
terror border of the scapula, as a
muscle of extraordinary inspiration,
requires for its action in this ca
pacity that the scapula should be
steadily and firmly held to the spine
by the muscles allocated to this end
in other words, by the shoulders be-
ing vigorously held backward. The
deep breathing thus carried out for
8. - or Is inspirations usually suf-
fees TO induce the wished for somno-
lence. Anyway. il is an experiment
easily tried and without risk.
The influence OF respiratory move
ments is demonstrated by the effect of
a prolonged and forced expiratory ac-
ton. The impedment to the return
flow of blood is easily to be observed
when vocalist with an uncovered
neck is singing long sustained high
note: the external jugular veins will
be seen in their course across the
sterno- mastoid muscle in a state of
extreme distension. accompanied by
congestion OF the veins OF the head
and face. indicating hindrance to the
blood current toward the heart.

CLASSICAL MUSIC.

Whatever symphonies may be to the
