The RIGHT SPIRIT.
Members Of the Advisory Board OBJ.
ject to a Program OF GlOfify-
ing the Army and Navy,
Instead Of Magnify
ing the Acts
OF Peace.

Boston, Jan. IA lengthy protest by
members Of the advisory board of the
Jamestown Exposition against ''the
diver sion Of the exposition to the SER
vice of militarism" was issued tonight.
The protest is made by Carroll D.
Wright, president of Clark College F;
Edwin Mead and Rev. Edward Everett
Hale, D. D., of Boston: Cardinal Glib
bons, Of Baltimore; John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
president Of Bryn Mawr College; Will

Prof. James H. billiard, of New Or
leans Prof. c. NJ. Woodward, of st.
Louis; Prof. Charles Zuelbin, of the
University of Chicago, and others.
The document, in part, is as follows F.:
The eNtravagant militarism Of the
program OF the coming jamestown Ex-
position, as developed and disclosed
during the last few months, is a pro-
found shock to a great body OF the
American people.
1--WE believe that the knowledge OF
this program, of which this is one OF
the. many statements in the Exposi-
tons journals and bulletins in these
months, has come to three-quarters OF
the American people as a great surprise.
1t is a utterly different from
thai given when the plan of the James
town exposition was first submitted to
the public.
THAT an International naval and
military celebration was to have a con-
spicuous place in the Exposition's pro-
gram, as provided for by Congress in
granting aid for that purpose in 1905,
was well known, and was convention
ally proper, but the purpose to make
this great Exposition primarily a naval
and military spectacle to intoxicate the
American people fer six month by a
great living picture of war with all its
enticing splendors, encouraging the
splendor, a pageant and a game, in
stead of a horror and to-day almost in
variab1y a crime, was not avowed, and
has clearly been a purpose, whose car
rying out, as now advertised, can only
work immense mischief to the coun-
try. We solemnly protest against

tator, died at the age of Sc years. In
licist, died, and in that month passed
away the worlds greatest playwright,
Henrik Ibsen. Among the eminent
dead OF jun should be mentioned Ar
thur Pue German, of the last Of the
old-time political leaders. Russell
Sage, the possessor of a swollen for
tune, died in July, and took none of his
fortune with him, and Mrs. Sage is to-
day perple1ed with its care and dis
tribution. In October, Adelaide Ris-
tori, the tragedienne, died, and Mrs.
Jefferson avis passed away at the ripe
age of so years. Later on in the year
General Shafter died, and so did Mrs.
Margaret Bottome, the founder of the
Kings Daughters. On Thanksgiving
Day, President Spencer, of the South
ern Railway, lost his life in a fearful
wreck on his own road, the result Of
carelessness on the part o fblock system
operators.
The neurological record of the year
shows M remarkable changes. About
the usual number of the rich and the

real usefulness to their fellow creatures
went to their graves unknown to the

CANNOT Be BLUFFED.
Livingston Not to Be Deferred by
Threat of Libel Suit.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Representative
Livingston, of Georgia, to-day made the
following statement concerning the &C.
ton in New York yesterday of the
board of anager of the New York
Cotton Exchange in deciding to consult
counsel as to the ACCESSIBILITY of bring
ing suits for libel against himself and
President Jordan, of the Southern Cot
ton Growers Association, for their re-
cen action in asking the Postoffice De-
partment for a fraud order against the
Exchange:
ftIt is a losing game if they think
they can bluff me out by threatening
libel proceedings. An attempt is being
made to cloud the issue by asserting
that I am after the New York Cotton
Exchange as a body. I am after the
governing body, the steering commit
tee, composed of about fifteen men who
are responsible for existing conditions.
There are many honest men in the Elk

WAS MERELY MAKING WORK.
When Target Practice Was Not So
Important as 1t Is Now.

'In recent years." said an ordnance
officer, everything on war vessel
gives way to target practice. The one
thing a commander is more interested
in than anything else is the record
that his men can make at the ranges.
But there was a time when the man
behind the gun was not recognized
as the most important element in the
efficiency of fighting ship.
"To illustrate: / was Junior officer
on the old Essex many years ago. In
those days we had target practice
once a quarter. We were forced by
regulations to expend so many rounds
of ammunition every three months,
and-well, that was about all there
was to it. 1t was a perfunctory kind of
practice, and every one was glad
when it was over.
"One day we went out for the quar-
terly practice, anchored the target and
went at it. The targets we used in
those days were three planks fasten-
ed in triangle, spar stepped in the
center to hold the canvas which form
ed the target proper.
Now the gun captain Of the for
ward pivot rifle was an excellent
marksman, and on his first trial he
sent shell through the spar, which
smashed it into flinders. That, of
course, stopped the practice, and out
went boat to tow the wrecked tar
get alongside for repairs.
when it had been patched up, it
was towed back to it's place, and firing
was resumed.
Again the same gunner had the
first shot, and again his shell brought
down both the spar and the canvas.
1.-THE boat was again sent out, but
when the repaired target was being
towed back to the range, the captain,
who was much out of humor by the
delay, spoke his mind.
Tell Gunner Blank he command
ed, that if he hits that target again l
will put him in the brig!'"

Due to Vanity.

What women will do and endure in
the quest of beautiful looks was ex-
emplified by some instances given by
a lady doctor.
A very wealthy woman recently took
on trip abroad with her a staff of
beauty experts besides her maids.
They travelled with her everywhere,
staying at the best hotels and receiv-
ing large salaries for about an hours
work each per day. The lady, who
is considerably past middle age, thus
managed to keep up an appearance of
youth, the artificiality of which, how
ever, deceived no one but herself.
Other beauty maniacs, as they are
called, are so made up with dyes and
facial coloring matter that they have
to avoid the open air. The treatment
begins at noon, the face being steamed
and massaged, the hands, arms, and
neck whitened with artificial prepare
lions, the hair manipulated and the
figure scientifically laced. Drugs are
used to make the eyes bright. And all
this is gone through for the sake of
shining at some social function.-Cas-
sells Journal.

Origin Of Menaqeries.

An attempt to trace the origin of
geological gardens and natural his.
tory museums has been made by ].
Won Pleyel, German. He concludes
that menageries originated partly in
the worship of sacred animals and
partly in the ambition of rulers to col.
lect specimens of rare, valuable and
savage creatures. The simplest form
of geological gardens was known to
the Chinese, Indians, Greeks, Romans
and pre-Spanish Mexicans in very an
cient times, Chinese menagerie dat
ing from 1850 B. c. being the oldest
on record. The den of lions kept by
Dariu, of which we are told in the
Book of Daniel, is an illustration of
the primitive menageries, and the
sacred white horses of Greece and
Rome and the so-called white ele-
plants of Burma and Siam represent
another type. The menagerie founded
in 1927 in Regents park, London,
seems to have suggested the establish
ment in Paris that is regarded as the
earliest modern geological garden.

mudan waters to an extent hitherto
not realized. The climate was admir-
ably suited to the work, being without
laria. A shipment of live Bermuda
fish was brought to New York for
the first time and they attracted much
attention in the aquarium because of
their odd forms and the brilliance of
their coloring. The expedition pur-
sued its studies for six months.
These summer expeditions were sue
cessfully continued for six years, and
on the invitation of New York univer-
sity Harvard university joined in the
work. In the summer of 1903 gen.
eral invitation was sent out to col
lege faculties to accompany the expe-
dition that year, and 81 professors
and instructors responded and joined
the investigators. A temporary sta
ton was formed at the Flats, which
has been used at each of the annual
expeditions since.
The expeditions also won warm
friends at Bermuda. In 1904 the colon
ial government passed an act to pro-
vide the land and building for the sta
ton, in connection with public
aquarium. Before this legislation was
confirmed by the home government,
overlook the colony, so that the grant
was modified to include only the land
for the station. This land is admir-
ably situated on the Flats.
Additional encouragement for the
projectors of the station has also been
forthcoming. Upon the advice of the
Royal society the assent of the i'm
perial government has been given to
the project The Royal society has
made a grant toward the equipment
and has given its hearty approval.
The Carnegie Institution has also ap-
proved the plan. The Bermuda Nat
ural History society has cooperated
in the work, and finally the United
States consul at Bermuda has recon-
mended that our government, through
the Smithsonian Institution, take for
NAL steps for generous support of
the station.
To build the permanent station will
cost about $4,000, including a two
story building, with aquarium on the
first floor and a biological laboratory,
library, supply room and an ad.
ministration room on the second floor.
1t will cost about $4,000 year to run
the station.
There is hope that the station may
profit by the cooperation of the New
York botanical garden in studying and
collecting specimens of the fora Of
the island.
The directors of the garden have
already collected about 400 species Of
the fora of the island, including mu-
scum and herbarium specimens, and it
is believed that their work could be
greatly facilitated in future through
the use of the proposed geological sta
ton as headquarters.

FAMILY FOOD.
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
Cooking.

A little boy down in N. c. asked his
mother to write an account of how
Grape Nuts food had helped their fam
lily.
She says Grape-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice of his physician. She
says:
"They derive so much good from it
that they never pass day without
using it. While I was there used the
Food regularly. I gained about Is
pounds and felt so well that when re-
turned home I began using Grape-Nuts
in our family regularly.
"My little 10 months old baby short
ly after being weaned was very ill
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and We tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
it was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going to lose her.
One day happy thought urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in little warm
milk.
well, it worked like charm and
she began taking it regularly and i'm
provement set in at once. She is now
getting well and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
Sometime ago several of the family
were stricken with LaGrippe at the
same time, and during the worst stages
we could not relish anything in the
shape of food but Grape-Nuts and
oranges, everything else nauseated us.
I'VE all appreciate what your IA
nous food has done for our family"

Some BiIIviIIe Philosophy.

IN our perusal of pictorial religious
works we have long been panied by
the absence of angels wearing hair
on their faces. We presume, however,
it is because men have such a close
shave to get there.
If some folks we know ever get to
heaven, all we'll ask for is a box of
matches and the other direction.
When old Satan is obliging enough
to play the fiddle you'll see many a
wavering saint weaken, and Swing
corners"

are angels, but they have worked the
wings off in Neutrality-suspicious. L.
