Shots by two squads of soldiers. One
squad was required to abstain abso-
lutely, the members of the other squad
were given a draught of spirituous
| liquor before rifle practice.
With some glee we are told that the
drinking squad averaged better in in
| dividual practice than the abstaining
! squad. But in volley firing the alb
stainers made the better records. If
the report from Munich is to be be-
! level the men who drank before firing
had steadier nerves and clearer vision.
The ministry is not yet satisfied, how
ever. The tests are being continued
and they will be continued until some
really definite result is attained.
For the life of us we cannot see in
the progress thus far made any vic
tory for alcoholic beverages. The Ba-
vaFian ministry allows the men only
one drink. 1t recognizes very clearly
the fact that, while one drink might.
under certain conditions, steady the
nerves of a soldier, several drinks
OOSbiOS MS llCLhtS. Anu II Is
certain that the ministry would rather
see the country's flag protected by an
army of perfectly sober soldiers than
by an army of soldiers each of whom
had had even one drink.
With a great many men the first
drink is very often the advance guard
of many others. AS long as they let
it alone entirely they are dependable,
reliable, industrious men. And queer
ly enough. they feel very little craving
for liquor. The first drink is like
touching lighted match to a powder
magazine. In the resultant explosion
the weak man who takes it finds his
character shattered, his resolution
broken. 1t takes him a long time to
pull himself together again.
To get back TO the Bavarian test
again. Isn't the ministry risking
good deal? Is it wise to order men to
drink liquor? Is there not danger of
intoxicating in those men habits of
drinking that may be hard to break?
As has been said, the man with one
drink may shoot straighter. but the
man who has had nc drinks will shoot
oftener and IL the end he will do
greater execution.

A HANDY REMEDY FOR BURNS.

l have often heard women say that
they can never go near the kitchen
stove without getting burned. and no
doubt some of US, if not all of us. have
suffered many big as well as little
burns and scalds for the want of some
simple remedy, says the writer of
Kitchen Stepsavers in Pictorial Review.
OF course we all know that bicarbonate
of soda or common cooking soda is one
Of the simplest remedies, but even that
does not give immediate relief. Kero-
sene is the easiest remedy to procure
and is always handy in the kitchen.
saving steps to the medicine chest when
one is in a hurry, and experience has
shown it is the most efficient. Cover
the burn or scald with the kerosene and
repeat until the burning sensation is
gone. l have never known any tender
ness or soreness to follow, or any trace
of the burn to be left whenever kero-
sene has been used.

DOWN EAST APPETITES.

The men who do the hard work and

THE YULETIoE APPROACHES,

Only two days IN which to finish that
Christmas shopping remain. The stores
| tomorrow and Tuesday will be crowd
ed with buyers who have delayed until
| the last moment what they should
have done week or two ago. If YOU
are among those that had the fore
| thought 10 come early and avoid the
rush you may view the situation with
| some calmness. If you are not. you
have two wild days ahead of you. And
we haven't a great deal of sympathy
for you, either, unless there was some
| excellent reason for not doing YOUR
| shopping.
What a delight the Christmas shop
ping is, after all. There is nothing
| quite like it in any other holiday. II
is at Christmas that we feel the ioy
of giving TO the uttermost. We NAV
have only few dollars to spend, we
may have hundreds or thousands, but
if we approach the holiday in the right
spirit the joy is much the same. If
there is any difference it is in favor of
the people with the smaller amounts of
money available for gift-giving Dur
poses. For there is little real pleasure
in giving presents when the giving
does not involve some sacrifice.
Many people make the mistake at
Christmas OF worrying because they
cannot give handsomer presents. Our
own opinion is that the man or woman
who values a Christmas gift because of
its cost, or fails to value it because it
involves only small outlay. doesn't
deserve a present. The true spirit
IS the spirit of remembrance.
the spirit that makes us glad be-
cause somebody thought of us.
because somebody sent token of at
lection, be that token dear or cheap
as measured in money.
There is another class that has
habit of giving presents simply be-
cause the people TO whom they give
them are sure to remember the giver

FAILED TO MAKE GOOD.

In his correspondence with Governor
Sparks of Nevada relative to the send
ing Of troops to that state, and fixing
a date for their Withdrawal, President
Roosevelt manifests some petuIance
He takes the attitude that the Nevada
executive plainly promised him a. nice
little instruction, or a lively riot at
the least, and that he has signalIv
failed TO make good. 1t was most I'M
kind OF Governor Sparks to disappoint
the president. He should have COM
PEELED the members of the Western
Federation of Miners and their active
allies to start something TO justify the
continued presence of the troops in
GoIdield.
We are constrained TO believe that
1he main attitude of President Roose-
welt is correct enough. The state of
NeTada has shown no disposition to
take steps looking towards its own
protection. Certainly it is the duty
of every state TO make some effort to
protect life and property within its
borders before calling for federal aid.
There is not another instance on
record in which federal troops have
been called into a state to preserve or
der before the commission of any acts
of disorder
1t is reported that threats We're made
by union men and their sympathfzers
at Goldfield of direful happenings in
the event the mine operators ATTEMPT
ed 20 resume work with non-union
men. Threats break no bones. but
troops were sent to Goldfeld. Work
was in measure resumed under the
protection of the federal troops. and
there was nothing remotely approach
ing disorder. Whether or not there
will be violence after the troops have
been Withdrawn is a matter of opin-
ion.
The operators believe there will be
an outbreak; the miners are of the
contrary opinion. If the withdrawal
of the soldiers should be followed by
bloodshed, if lives should be taken and
property destroyed. it would simply
mean the immediate return OF the
troops and the restoration of order at
any cost. But Nevada cannot expect
TO retain federal troops for police duty.
That is the province of the state au-
thsrities, and their province alone.
v Governor Sparks had called a
meeting of the legislature for the pur-
pose Of providing protection. as he
could very well have done, it would
have been proper for the president to
keep the troops in Goldfeld. God him
self according to the old adage. only
helps the man who helps himself Ne
vada must help herself first, or en-
deavor to do so, before she can claim |
assistance from the general govern |
ment.
1t is very important that the mines |
be opened and made to pour their
golden stream into the channels Of
trade, but the mine owners are entitled
only 10 the same protection that would
be given to any other citizen, and the
president apparently wishes them TO
realize the fact

CANNED COAL.
Scientific American)

Some years ago a fleet of British
Golfers was sunk during a storm in an
English harbor and remained under
water for five years Vefore being
salved and brought to the surface. An
examination of the coal showed that
it mad kept its value for steam pur-
poses, and this led to some expert
ments by the naval authorities which
settled beyond all doubt that coal
stored under water did not deteriorate
as when stored in the air. Taking heed
of this conserving power of water, the
Western Electric company is building
flOodad coal pits at its plant at Haw-
thorne, Ill The excavation is 800 by
IS feet. and p feet deep, built of con-
crete and divided into twelve pits
The ccal is dropped directly from the
cars, which pass over the pits, and the
fuel is removed when desired by means
of a steam shovel.
