Women on Warships.

In the British navy of Nelson's day
1t was not uncommon for wives to live
aboard men-o'-war with their sailor
husbands. Scarce one of England's
walls of oak" in Nelson's time but
had some woman aboard who bruved
the perils and hardships of the sea IL
order to be with her husband. In
nearly every one of the twenty-seven
line of battleships under Nelson's
command in the great battle of Traf
algar was one or more women. wives
of sailors. Surprise may be expressed
that English men-of-wars men We're
permitted to have their wives aboard.
1t was only by special permission of
the admiralty that this could be done
and then permission was granted
somewhat in the light of a penance for
sanctioning the press gang system
which was largely in vogue at that
time. Men were seized in the streets
and other public places and compelled
to serve in British warships because
"the king needed men," Some of the
men thus seized had political influence
and, being unjustly compelled to serve
in the navy, were permitted to have
their wives share their involuntary
servitude.

A TREATY TO ABOLISH WAR.

New York, Jan. 25.-Andrew Carnc
gle, who sat near President Taft at
The Pennsylvania society dinner Sat
urday night when the latter urged the
fortifcation of the Panama canal, gave
a statement to the New York CORE
Bpondent of the Central News of Lon
don.
This question of the fortitication of
the Panama canal is greatly exercising
the advocates of international peace,
but it is not an international question,
"No nation disputes our right to
fortify. Our right is as clear as our
wight to fortify New York or New Or

being purely defensive. These forts.

'Do you think the president had any
specific treaty in his mind?" Mr.. Car
Regie was asked.
"Yes, one of these treaties he hopo~
10 make, and which l firmly believe
he will succeed in making, is one
which will embrace the whole English
speaking race-namely, a treaty be
tween Great Britain and this country.
The race which has abolished private
war within its boundaries is obviously
the race to lead the way in the abuli-

The Race With the Ram.

In Morocco the strange season of the
Mohammedan new year, beginning
March 8, is generally called "Ait-el-
Hanwela," the rain feast. The people
Of Morocco pay more elaborate atten-
ton to the item of sacrifice than any
other Moslems. In every town a su
preme offering of ram or he goat
takes place at the door of the princi-
pal mosque. Immediately after it is
struck by the official imam in pres
ence of the multitude it is flung on the
shoulders of a stalwart Moor, who, eX-
erting his utmost strength, runs like
deer through the narrow streets, pur-
sued by rabble. The poor animal is
pelted with stones by boys and is
jeered at with execrations from every
house, as it is reputed to be carrying
the sins of the people. The man
rushes along with his burden till he
reaches the door of the cadi's palace,
If the animal is still breathing the
augury is excellent, for good luck is
to be expected all through the year.
But If the ram is dead all sorts of evil
representations are muttered.

PHILLIPS DIES.
Wounds Inflicted BY GC!dS-
borough Are Fatal.
BULLET IN LUNG THE CAUSE.
Personal Physician of the Author Re-
allied That Wounds Were Not
Healing and Calls Consultation,
but Patient Passes Away.

New York, Jan. 25.-David Graham
Phillips, the novelist, who was shot
six times Monday afternoon by Fitz-
hugh Coyle Goldsborough in Gramercy
park, died at Bellevue hospital. Mr..
Phillips had been vomiting blood,
which symptom told the physicians
that the perforation in the lung caus-
ed by a bullet which had entered the
right chest and had passed out of the
body near the left shoulder blade was
not healing.
1t was seen that the patient, who
had been unable to retain liquid food
or water, was sinking. DR.. Eugene
Fuller, Mr.. Phillips personal physi-
clan, decided to hold consultation
with DR.. John b. Walker and DIR. I.u
cius. Dr. Fuller in the meantime gave
the patient what relief he could, and
the physicians and the brother and sis
ter of Mr.. Phillips, Harrison Phillips
and Mrs. Carolyn Frevert, awaited the
arrival of the two visiting surgeons
for the consultation.
The excessive pain of his abdominal
wound, the constant leakage of blood
into the throat from his lung and in
testinal suffering following the admin
istering of ether Monday had worn
the novelist out. During severe spell
of coughing he died.
At his bedside were Mrs. Frevert,
Harrison Phillips and DR.. Fuller. DR..
Hotchkiss and DIR. Walker had not
then arrived.
The sexton of the Little Church
Around the Corner, William j. Minor
took charge of the remains and took
them to his undertaking place on
Fourth avenue. Whether the funeral
will be held from there or where OF
when the burial will take place will
not be decided upon until a consulta
ton is held with Senator Beveridge
The funeral may be delayed to permit
the dead novelist's aged mother tC
make the long trip from Los Angeles
Senator Beveridge, who roomed with
Phillips at Depauw university, had
been at his bedside, but he was com
PEELED to return to Washington. The
last friends of Mr.. philips to visit the
hospital were George Horace Lorimel
and Samuel G. Blythe of the Saturday
Evening Post.
Many magazine writers, novelists
and artists left cards at the hospital
but none of the callers except Senator
Beveridge was permitted to visit the
patients room. Many of the visitors
and others had sent floral gifts, ant
after the death of Mr. Phillips these
were arranged about his bier

The One Dish Diet.

A food specialist said of dieting:
'"The simplest, easiest and most eff
cacious diet to bring down the weight
is the one dish diet. At no meal, that
is, should more than one dish be
eaten.
''The dish may be what you will
Irish stew, macaroni and cheese, roast
beef, vegetable soup, bacon and eggs
but no courses are to precede or fol-
low it. You may eat as much as you
choose of the dish, and yet for all that
you will lose weight steadily.
"It's the variety of dishes-the oys-
ters, soup, fish. turkey. mince pie, ice
cream-it's the variety of dishes, ere
ating an artificial appetite when the
body has really had all it requires,
that causes corpulence. If we confine
ourselves to one dish we know when
we've had enough-we don't know 9th
erwise-and the result is that we soon
drop down to the slimness natural to
children, animals and temperate and
healthy men and women"

FOR CATARRH.
Medicine Free In Every Case Where It
Fails to Relieve.

Fails to Relieve.
Neglect OF pessimism, we believe, is
the greatest enemy the public has to
contend with when applied to the loss
or recovery of health. Practically ev-
cry case of consumption might have
been cured if hope had been main
tanned and proper treatment had been
resorted to at the first symptom of the
disease. Until the advanced stage is
reached consumption is durable. Ca
tarrh is responsible, we believe, for
many cases of consumption. 1t is
about catarrh we want to talk to you
today, incidentally consumption, since
the two are so closely allied.
We have a medicine made from
prescription of one of the most sue
cessful catarrh specialists known. We
believe it is positively without an
equal. We are so satisfied that we
are right, that we will supply the
medicine free in every instance where
it is used according to directions for a
reasonable length of time, should it
fail to give satisfaction in every par
ticular. We want every one to try
this medicine at our risk. There are
no conditions attached to our offer.
We put the user under no obligation
to us whatever.
The medicine we want you to try is
Rexall Mucu-Tone. 1t is a catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat OF
trouble 1t is carried by the blood to
every part of the system. 1t purifies
and enriches the blood, tones up the
mucous cells, and brings about a con
dition of health and strength that
tends to prevent the germs of con-
sumption from getting start. Be
sides this, ReXall Mucu-Tone is won
derful appetizer, digestive aid and
flesh builder. Its good effects are of
ten felt from the very first dose. 1t is
one of the largest and most satisfac'
tory selling medicines that we have
ever had anything to do with,
We know so much of the great good
that il has done that we personally
back it up with our reputation and
money, which fact should be ample
guarantee to satisfy anybody. Rexal
Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes. 30 cents
and $1.OO. We urge you to try it. Re

A Mean ADVANTAGE.

In a breach of promise case the bar.
rister who held the brief for injured
beauty arranged that his fair client
should be so placed that her charms
should be well under the observation
of the jury. He began most pathetic
appeal by directing their attention to
her beauty and calling for justice upon
the head of him who could wound the
heart and betray the confidence of one
so fair, concluding with peroration
of such pathos as to melt the court
to tears. The counsel for the de-
fendant then rose, and after paying
the lady the compliment of admitting
that it was impossible not to assent
to the encomiums lavished upon her
face he added that nevertheless he
felt bound to ask the jury not to for
get that she wore a wooden leg. Then
he sat down. The important fact of
which the fair plaintiffs counsel was
unaware was presently established,
and the jury, feeling rather sheepish
at their tears, assessed damages at
the smallest amount.

Elephant Humor.

The courage of lion at bay, great

buffalo, and he must yield his scepter
to the elephant declares II. L. Tangye
in his book, 'In the Torrid Sudan" as
to courage, size, strength and intelli-
gence. 1t is a temptation to declare
that the elephant possesses a sense of
humor. A herd of elephants once fell
in with a train of donkeys. Their
attention concentrated on the load the
donkeys carried. With all the mischief
of monkeys, the loads were torn
asunder and their contents distributed
over half the province. At Bor, on
the Mountain Nile, the elephants were
at one time full of practical jokes.

lage, they would knock the sleepers

their heads, then contentedly march

Solitude is dangerous to reason with
out being favorable to virtue. Pleas.
ures of some sort are necessary to the
intellectual as to the corporal health,
and those who resist gayety will be
likely for the most part to fall a sac
rifice to appetite, for the solicitations
of sense are always at hand, and a
dram to vacant and solitary person
is a speedy and seducing relief. Re-
