DRUNKENNESS IN THE ARMY.

Some alarming figures are found
in the annual report of the surgeon
general of the United States army.
Tho death rate in the armies of va
rlous countries Is shown in table,
with n view To comparison with
the rate in OUR army, and the aston
ishing statement is made that there
is from 100 to 800 times as much
alcoholism in the American army n;
there Is in European armies.
Our army has first place under
the head OF "acutc alcoholism" the
figures showing that this Is the dis
ease affecting $3.50 in every 1000
admitted to medical treatment. In
the British army. the rate is only
81, while. i,, nc Dutch army it is
OBJ @ the French army OILS, and
In the German army 009, or more
than 900 times less than in our
army"
These figures furnish the friends
OF the canteen with the argument
that the rate of alcoholism is so low
In European armies because that In
stitution Is maintained and that the
rate is so high In the American
army because the canteen has been
abolished.

A Hint For Amateur Jugglers.

The amateur conjurer should, MS far
as possible, endeavor 10 juggle only
with the ordinary commonplace articles
that are invariably ut hand. Cards are
to be found in almost every house,
hats, handkerchiefs, glasses, coins and
paper are always handy, and the man
who conjnres with these with no ap-
parent preparation will both please and
mystify his audience much more than
he who brings along bagful of pre-
pared tricks and spends half all hour
behind Il screen.-Strand Magazine.

Exports from the United States to
Cuba in the calendar year 1906 were
larger than in any other year of our
trade with that island. Imports
from the island fell ten million dol
lars below those of the high record
year, 1905, this fall being due to n re
duction in prices of sugar, of which
the quantity imported in 1906 was
greater than in any earlier year in
the history of our trade with that is
land. The total value of exports to
Cuba in 1906, rs shown by figures
just compiled by the Bureau of Sta
tistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, was $46,i91 ,944,

OPENING OF THE EXPO.

Very, very often you hear the
fear expressed that tho grounds on
which the Jamestown Exposition
will be held during the coming sum.
mer and fall will not be in reali,
ness on April 27th, the day on
which the gates will be formally
opened TO the public and one of the
most memorable events III the
history of tho state of Vir-
ginia will begin. 1t Is perfect.
iy safe to say that there has never
vet been nm exposition held but that
1t was the same in Chicago, Buf
talo aud IL, ST, l.uuis, and when the
on@"ng day rolled around the people
!. who tlocked to the grounds found
conditions in fairly good shape, but
the crowds that attend an opening
day of Il great fair do not expect to
find everything in perfect order
If there was ever u fair opened
under dsagreeable circumstances It
was the Columbian exposition in
Chicago, That was on May 1903.
and amy person who was on tho
grounds would have been willing to
have entertained the opinion that
the grounds would never be in the
shape that the landscape architect
had planned With cold RAN.
with the north wind sweeping from
Lake Michigan back of it; lumber
aud building material Of all kinds
on all sides; not blade Of grass
In sight; not n flower bed in bloom
and hardly n path worthy of the
name, the prospect was certainly n
dismal one, Then came tho trans.
formation, The architect and his
great force OF men began their work
and in three weeks Jackson ParT
bore an entirely different aspect. 1t
was in every sense OF the word, the
White City beautiful.
The average man does not realize
what landscape architect can do
In Il short time. Chaos can be trans
formed into beauty in a remarkably
short time. This is doubly so where
climatic conditions are favorable
With the splendid start the EXPOSE
tion authorities have made with
their thousands of trees and pieces
of shrubbery, and the beautiful vine
that will cover the fence. there s.
not q doubt. unless the very unex.
pected happens, but that when the
opening day arrives that the patrons
OF the Exposition will see on all
sides evidences where nature has
been benefited by mans skill AS to

Z be IN an utter state OF completion.

they will be in condition to receive

slight knowledge. and should be read
by every gcod American. The first

National Banking Act which clearly
shows that this legislation is response
bic for the financial troubles Of the

sonal "reminiscences Of the y. S. ST.

THE FAITHFUL Doc.

The best friend a man has in this
world many turn against him and be-
come his enemy. His son or daught-
er that he has reared With loving care
may prove ungrateful. Those who
are nearest and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our happiness and
good name may become traitors to
tina, faith: the money that man has
he may lose. If flies away from him
perhaps when he needs il most. A
man S reputation may be sacrificed in
a moment OF i'll colsiiered action.
The people who are prone to fall on
their knees to do Us honor while the
money lasts, may be the first to throw
the stone OF malice when failure
settles its clouds uoon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend
that a man can have in this selfish
world. the one that never deserts. him.
the one that never proves ungrateful
or treacherouS. is his dog. A mans
dog stands by him in poverty as well
as In prosperity. in health and in sick
ness.
