DR.. James Edmunds, now physi-
cian-in-chief Of the London Temper
ance Hospital, discarded the use OF
wine and spirits years before he
came into that position. He says:
"I now find that patients do infinite

Rheumatism is often produced by
drinking and cured by persistent alb
stinence." In delirium tremens he
promptly stops all supplies Of spir-

casion when the soldier on guard at
the palace gates neglected to present
arms. The truth was the soldier did
not know his majesty by sight.
"Why don't You present arms?'
the latter asked, angrily. "Do you
know to whom you are indebted for
your daily bread9"
The sentry glared angrily at the
king, and, imagining him to be the
army baker, replied: $50 YOU are the

THE MAN AND THE SNAKE.

There is an old story Of man who
had pet snake. He began to pet it
when it was tiny, helpless, harmless
thing. He was not afraid Of it, and
enjoyed playing with it. As it grew
larger he exhibited it to interested
audiences. He let it wrap itself
around him and then quietly uncoil
and fall harmlessly to the ground.
One day, before great crowd Of
spectators, he called the snake and
let it coil its Shiny length around his
motionless body till its head was as
high as his. The audience were as
tonished and enjoyed this strange
sight. At length they heard slight
scream which they supposed was part
of the performance. But in a few
minutes they realized that the huge
snake was crushing the man to
death. So does the harmless drink

BULLET-PROOF ARhOR
INVENTED BY RUSSIAN

ST. PETERSBURG, April 3.-Lieuten-
ant Colonel Tchemerzine. an officer Of
the engineers in the Russian army, has
made some remarkable experiments with
a bullet-prOOf alloy. an invention OF his
own.
A cuirass made Of the new metal and
large enough to protect the chest and
back, weighs only five pounds There
IS a certain fiexIbility about the metal
which makes j. possible to wear the
protecting shield under the clothes
These shields are being used largely
by the police in various parts Of Rus
sla, especially in those sections where
anarchists have been active, and where
assassination of officials is common.
Many lives have been saved when the
police invaded the dens Of the military
revolutiOnists
The inventor explains that the fun
damental idea OF his invention IS the
closing OF the pores of chrOmO-nickel
steel" He sue eeded in accomplishing
this operation by means of great hy-
draulic pressure at a very high tenn
perature.

the venerable chaplain of the Senate.
and known throughout the country as

day from scores Of friends on the event
of his eighty-sixth birthday.
Hundreds of letters and kilograms
came from all parts of the country.
many Of them from Boston, where DR..
Hale is the prime mover in the opera
tons Of the Lend-a-Hand Society.
Although he held no formal reception,
DR.. Hale received many or his friends.
including Senators and Representatives.
many Of whom have made It an annual
custom TO call on the Senate chaplain
on his birthday.
The weight Of his many years rests
easily on DR.. Hale. and his interest
in many charitable organizations and
general work to uplift the poor, is as
keen today as Il was fifty years ago
Mr.. Hale has never been able TO accu-
mulate wealth. and It is no secret
among his friends that this is due en-
t'reIy to the fact that he dispenses
charity so widely and so effectively,
always concealing his identity. but new

friends TO promote some worthy cause.
DR.. Hale spends much Of his time
IN his library, where his wife and ~
daughter, Miss Helen Hale, are his COIl-
slant companions.
