Drink the Cause Of il.

DR.. Wilhite, superintendent of the
asylum at Dunning, ILL.,, told woman's
club that of the 1000 insane patients,
600 men and 400 women, alcohol was

10k per cent. of the men and five

MARCHING Geese.

Norfolk geese were driven up to
London in thousands without losing
condition. 1t paid better before the
days of railways to let the geese
transport themselves. The largest
drove mentioned was one of 5000,
which went from Suffolk, through
Chelmsford and on to London. They
took their journey easily, marching
ten miles day. The ordinary days
march of the German army is 13
miles-only three miles better than
the geese When Lord Oxford bet the
marquis of Queensberry that droye
of Suffolk geese would beat an equal
number of turkeys in a walk to Lon
don the geese won by As, hours.

Cigarette Trade of the Country 10
Booming.

If the general prosperity OF the
country were indicated by the con-
stantly increasing consumption OF Io-
bacco in the form of cigarettes, then
business prospects were never more
favorable than at present. 1here Can
be no denial of the fact that the cigar
cite trade is booming. Nearly every
little man of Is, with a brain Dig
enough to dream of the day when Vls-

delights in staggering along Iiie
streets with cigarette in his mouth.
How manly the conceited little Ter
low thinks he is, and how his eyes
sparkle with delight at the wondrous
feat of ejecting smoke in long lines
from his proud nostrils!
The dividing line between boyhood
and manhood is surely indicated by
the cigarette, says the New 1ork
Weekly. In other words, the amnl-
tious lad who can gracefully burn a
cigarette, and convert his nostrils lnto

is not likely to become very clever
or a very strong man. If smoking
does not shrink his lungs and frame,
and convert him into a sickly ghost
before he is 25, he may live long
enough to learn that during the years
when sensible boys endeavor to be-
come clever and bright, rugged, and
strong, and otherwise prepare them
selves for the battle of life, he was
nothing but a conceited little fool,
and ruined his health and dwarfed his
intellect by indulgins in the senseless
habit of smoking cigarettes.

GEN. soNAPARTE AT JAFFA.
His Orders Regarding the Plague
Stricken Soldiers.

Prof. Forgue of Montpelier in a re.
cent lecture on the respect that practi-
tioners should have for human lie
told tb* story of Desgenettes, which,
though well known, is worth telling
again as it is told by Desgenettes him
self
When the French were about to
'evacuate Jaffa the question arose
what was to be done with the plague
stricken soldiers in the hospital. Des-
genettes says: Shortly before the
raising of the siege-that is to say, on
the 27th-Gen. Bonaparte sent for me
very early in the morning to his tent,
where he was alone with his chief Of
the staff. After short preamble as
to our sanitary condition, he said to
me, If were you should end at once

the fox, who ran up to his friend with
great show of delight. He seemed
glad to get back to the safe shelter
OF his pen in the stable yard, but
whereas the poor beast had up to
the time of his outing been confiding
and familiar in its ways, his expert

made him timid and shy now.
Mr.. Jones, who was head game
keeper of the late Lord Lfiford for
nearly SO years, told me Of tame
fox that he kept chained to tree
close to his house. 1t seemed well
contented there, but as Lord Lilford
thought 1t ought to have its freedom,
it was taken in bag to wood and
turned out there. The poor beast
tried to follow the keeper home again,
and it was with difficulty got rid of,
only to be taken by stranger and
killed soon after.

bottoms would suffer less resistance to
the wind. The canvas coverings had
been stripped from the bridges. All
ports were closed to eliminate air fric-
tion. Everything movable was sent
below. The navigators wore automo-
bile goggles to keep the wind from
cutting their eyes. The crew were
stripped to the waist.
On the bridge of each craft stood
the commanding officer, the navigator
and the seaman at the wheel Down
in the engine rooms there was a post
for every man. Now and then a puff
of black smoke rolled out of funnel

Must Not Drink

The Lehigh Valley railroad has
served notice on its employees that
they must be total abstainers from
alcoholic drinks or leave the service
Of the company, and it is quite likely
that all of the other lines in the United
States will adopt the same rule. 1t is
only cumulative evidence that there
are enough sober men in the world to
do the worlds work. The conviction
is gaining weight everywhere that the
temperance question is not simply
moral, BIZ economic and corporations
are now one with the churches in the
effort to suppress this great national
vice.
