CREAM TOO GOOD FOR HIM.
Tramp Had Saved House, But He Was
 No Prodlgal Son.

{! "One night as I was sleeping under a haystack on farm in Connecticut" i" said the tramp, T awoke to discover that the farm house was on fire. The roof had caught around the kitchen chimney and the family had not been aroused. I made for the house at once, gave the alarm, found and put up ladder, and after the hardest kind of work extinguished the flames. had my hair singed and my hands blistered and after it was all over the old farm CT wanted to know how happened to be on hand. told him, and after lit tie thought he said:
 "'Well, you must be thirsty, and I'll have the wife get you a drink of milk
 'He called to her to i'll pitcher. and as was washing my hands at the kitchen door I heard him say:
 Hammer. be sure to skim the milk before you give it to him. He's a tramp and not used to cream
 T politely declined the milk when 1t was brought out, telling the farmer that I didn't wish to deprive the pigs of their breakfast, and as started off to find new lodgings he said:
 "'You had lodgings in my haystack, and that's worth quarter, but being you put the fire out I'm willing to call it square,"

In the annual report of the surgeon general Of the United States army ap- pears a table giving the death rate in the principle armies of the world. Some of the facts given reflect little credit on the material composition of our own regular army. Under the head of acute alcoholism" the United States army has first place, with 2S.S9 in every thousand admitted to medical treatment. In the German army the rate is only O.O9, or more than three hundred times less than in our army. In the French army the cases of acute alcoholism to the thousand are given as 0.1S in the Dutch O24, and in the british 2.1, which demonstrate" say the friends of the canteen, ''that there is from one hundred to three hundred times as much alcoholism in our army where the canteen has been abolished, as there is in European armies, which have no such protection.

VALUE OF THE FAMILY BIBLE.
Will Be Hard to Get Historical Data if 1t Disappears.

Professor Frederick Starr, head of the anthropology department of the University of Chicago in relating to his class some of his experiences in the Congo incidentally called attention to the fact that the old.fashioned fam fly bible, with its birth and death rec ords, was rapidly disappearing from homes in civilized countries.
 "In not one-half the families to-day were we able to get the exact age and place of birth and other desired data" he said. Tt Is even more difll- cult to get such information in Africa. I think if the Bible. or some such book as the old.fashioned Bible of the civi- lized home existed these historical facts would be the more easily learned, and of course the moral influence would be greater"
 Professor Starr also called atten- ton to the motto of the Congo Free State-"Labor and Progress" The motto. he said, was we'll known among the natives. young and old.
 Tt Is notorious here that few Amer. jeans know fE" motto of their own state." concl Professor Starr.

If any reliance is to be placed upon recently compiled statistics, the day of the cigarette is beginning to wane
 says an exchange. The statistics show that the number of cigarettes annually sold in this country at pres ent is less by a billion than 1t was ten years ago. It is difficult. however to determine whether this decrease may be attributed to the operation of the anti-cigarette legislation, to the power of public sentiment to the plac- ing upon the market of great va riety of cheap cigars which are us- ually classed as stogies or cherOots or to all three causes. Doubtless there always will be difference of opin- iuon among physicians whether the health of the people of this nation
 will ultimately suffer from too gen. eral and liberal use of tobacco. There is, however, very little disagreement as to the injurious effect of this nar- cotic upon persons who have not fully attained their growth. If it be true that the decrease in the consumption of cigarettes is due mainly to preven- ton of indulgence in them by boys, the fact that there is decrease. and a considerable one, is most gratifying.

Until the steel trust interfered through it's Pennsylvania representa- tives and killed the bill, the house had sanctioned an appropriation of S10O,- GOO for the establishment of naval gun foundry at the Washington navy yard. This was small amount and it may not seem of very general in- terest. but it was one of the most important pieces of legislation that had been passed for long time, says our Washington correspondent. It meant the authorization of the govern ment found how cheap and profitable it was, the plant would be extended and it would mean laying bare in the most practical way some of the se- crets of the United Steel corporation. The reason for the appropriation was that the Washington navy yard. where is located the greatest gun plant of the country has had endless trouble in getting gun forgings from the private concerns that furnish them and sometimes from six to ten weeks would be lost on some high class work, because of defective forging that could not be immediate ly replaced, the result being that a lot of high priced mechanics would be idle in the interval. 1t is shame full that it Is in the power of the steel trust to bar legislation so plain- Iy in the interest of the nation. The government went into the cement business when it was held up by the cement trust in the construction of the Roosevelt dam in Arizona and has saved a large sum of money by it. Now if It goes into iron founding. it will have to use the electric smelt- ing process at the navy yard on ac- count of the smoke laws in the dis trict ani this will bring into the equa- ton the facts that the government has thousands of acres If good iron land that can be utilized for electric smelt- ing and that have never been of any good for blast furnace purposes. If the government begins to make it's own iron. better and cheaper than 1t can buy it from private concerns. and while there may he two minds about the advantage of this sort of patena- ism. there is no denying that it opens mn an interesting vista as to the pos abilities of the case.

The Wanderinos of a seaouil.

On October 25 last there was shot at Ouchy, on Lake Leman . seagull. aged about I6 months, which. the Country Gentleman states, was found to be wearing on its claw silver ring engraved with the words "vogel- station. Rossitten 20." Rossitten is situated in the Lido of the Courland lagoon. between Konissberg and Me mel. in the Baltic, 1,500 kilometers from the Lake of Geneva NJ. Forel of Lausanne communicated with Dr. J. Thienemann, director of the orni- thological station at Rossitten- Ac- cording to the latest notes, the gull No. 20 was matched there. and was marked with the ring when . few weeks old. before it could fly. on July 1, 1905. It seems probable that it had thus made two winter migrations be- fore it fell a victim to the human bar barian.-westminster Gazette.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-

ed you have a rumbling sound of inn
perfect hearing, and when il is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
