Welcome in New Guinea.

In the Geographical Journal tells of
the native reception given him in
Dutch New Guinea: Entering the
Mimika proper, we were met BY great
numbers of canoes, the paddlers wait.
Ing to give us a welcome, shouting
their loudest and throwing themselves
out Of their canoes backward into the
water. Reinforced every few hun.
dred yards by other canoes, there was
soon a large flotilla padding hard in
our wake. One and a half miles far
ther on we entered an open stretch OF
water, on the right bank of which was
situated Waatimi village. Crowds of
women and children added their
shouts to those of the men, throwing
themselves into the water, smearing
themselves from head to foot in filthy
mud, plastering it over their faces and
into their hair. In this horrid state,
and naked, except for a narrow strip,
Of bark cloth, they then proceeded to;
dance" !

Macon, Mo.-Maj. B. r. Dysart Of

this anecdote of the late Joseph Pulit
Ger on that occasion.
Mr. Pulitzer and myself we're two
of the younger members of that not
able convention. He vas primed fol
a big speech on some particular mat
ter, but when his time came it hap
pened that MI. Pulitzer was not in the
room. The subject on which he had
fortified himself was taken up, passed
on and the convention proceeded tc
other business. Presently Mr.. Pulitze,
came in somewhat out Of breath and
began firing OF the speech he had
stored up when he was interrupted BIZ

Mr.. Pulitzer said the chairman

was acted on while you were out
Mr. Pulitzer looked around in dis

learn that the speech he so carefully
prepared had been summarily cooked
Then a member from st. Louis, realix

Of It Is Done Openly.

who has made a study of the ques-
ton. Unlike DR.. Murray Leslie, aLon-l
don physician, who asserted that there
is far more secret drinking among
ONE than his generally known, Dr.
Quackenbos says that In America

drinking. but proclaim their overload

tells. Smoking, too, he says. is a vice
coupled with the drink habit that is.
working havoc among women as we'll
as girls.
There is not SO much secret drink
ing here as in England" DR.. Quacken-
bos said, because women can be seen
any night drinking what they fancy
and without trying to keep any one
from knowing what they are drinking,
American women In doing anything
good or bad generally go to extremes,
and my experience i New York shows
1t is very difficult to control the drink,
habit among them because of their I'M
willingness to make any social sacri-
fees.
For instance, they keep going to So
.cial functions where punch and other
alcoholic drinks are served, and they
rive uino 6}nnors fho~ooIvoo Thoui
will play with fire and tempt Provi-;
dence continually. There is one wom-
an now who is a patient of mine who
will take as many as ten glasses Of
brandy at a sitting. And the most un-
fortunate thing about 1t Is that the
habit is developing among young girls,
and debutantes at their luncheons and
dinners couple 1t with smoking Gig
arettes and playing games of chance
for money.
THE women of the middle classes
in America drink beer, but not to ex-
cess. as a rule. 1t is a custom to-
have beer with dinnerss and If the
stuff were pure the harm would be less
than 1t is.
But tobacco is doing Just as much
harm as alcohol, for the two go to-
gether. And l know that too much
tobacco leads to too much alcohol,
because the tobacco habit depresses
the nerve centers and causes a de-
mand in the system for an antidote,
and tho antidote for tobacco poison is
whisky.
Il can safely say that rs per cent.
of the drink trouble among men, and
women. too. is due to tobacco. Where
women are not SO particular about
concealing the fact that they drink
they are careful to conceal the fact
that they smoke.
Il know that many raise the ques-
ton as to whether a woman. hasn't as
much right to smoke as a man. It
doesn't turn on the question of moral
right. The answer turns on the eff
feet smoking has on the woman's char
acter. 1t destroys womanliness."

German Social Life.

Writing on German social life in
the English press recently, Sir Henry
Johnston says: Il am told by 80
many thoughtful Germans that the
abuse of alcohol still strangles the
mental and physical efficiency Of a
large proportion Of German men in
the upper and lower classes, that |
am compelled to believe in an evil
which is only just lessening its hold
lover our own people, and which Is be,
ing f1ercely chased out of the United
Estates. Yet I am pleased to state
that l never encountered a drunken
person in Germany throughout my re,
cent tour, though l was aware from
the newspapers sand reviews that q
growing indignation was making It,
self felt among the bourgeosie and
professional classes against tho
%senseless eighteenth-century tradi,
lions of German studenthood."

Drunkenness Not Found ALONE.

Drunkenness is never to be found
alone, unaccompanied by some
horrid crime, If not by a wicked
crowd of them. Go to the house of
the drunkard. consider his family,
look on his affairs, listen to the sound
that proceeds from the house of
drunkenness as you pass, survey the
insecurity of the public way and of
the night streets. Go to the hospital,
to the house of charity and the bed of
w~retchedness. Enter the courts of
Justice. the prison and the condemned
cell. Look at the haggard features
of the ironed criminal. Ask all these
why they exist to distress you. and
you will everywhere be answered by
tales and recitals of drunkenness.
And the miseries. and the vices and
;the sorrow, and scenes of suffering
that have narrowed up your soul
were, almost without exception, eth.
er prepared by drinking or were I'm,
idergone for procuring the means for
satisfying this vice which sprans
from it.-Archbishop Ullathrope.

ANECDOTES OF GEN. SHERMAN

Was Odd but Popular. .

William Tecumseh Sherman was q
western product. and the western sol
diers who fought under him respected
him the more because he was one Of
them. That he knew when to relax
discipline in particular cases without
destroying it in general 10 indicated
by tho following story told by H. II
Buckley, a resident of Chicago. Mr..
Buckley's story il as follows:
Philip Wooster was a prominent
man in Kankakee at the beginning Of
the wal. He organized a company Of
cavalry. of which he was captain,
though he was about 70 years of age,
and his troopers became Company X
Of the 4th Illinois Cavalry. l was in
Company 9. BY 1863 Capt. Wooster
had seen about enough service and he
concluded he a too old to continue
in his official position. So he went

,.RENEWs SEARCH FOR PLANET
Astronomers on Mount Wilson, Cali
fornla, Join IL Hunt for "ceres,"
Wandering Since 1901.

Pasadena, Cal.-Spurred on by the
report that scientists all over the
world were searching for the lost
planet Ceres, astronomers at the
Mount Wilson observatory have join
ed the search. and from now on much
time will be devoted at the local sta
ton in an effort to be the first in dis.
covering the lost planet.
With the powerfu1 equipment on
hand for the scientific work, and a To-
cation that is probably second to none
in the world. the local men of science
have every confidence in locating the
lost planet. A search will be started
and continue until the wanderer ia
either located. or the impossibility of
its discovery determined upon.
At present little is known of the
planet, with the exception of what ia
recorded in astronomical history. It
was discovered first by Piazzi. Jan.
luary l, 1901, and its peculiar shape
has made it especially interesting.
I'VE are always looking for new
things up here" said a professor at

all interested in this lost planet and
there is no doubt but that a vigorous
search will be made from this point

and the fact that it is oval allows

Cant do it, said Gen. Sherman.
Capt. Wooster looked sad for a mo-
ment and then he pulled of his wig
and showed his head as bald as a bill

"'Now. won't you let me go?' he
asked
The general laughed, but Cant do.
It was all he would say.
Capt. Wooster hesitated a moment,
and then he pulled a row of false teeth,
from his upper jaw and another from
the lower and held them out with the
wig toward the general.
"'You can go home.' said Gen. Sher-,
man. "A man that hasn't any hair on
the top of his head or any teeth on

morning got orders from Gen. Sher-l

to Columbus and from there down the
Mississippi to Memphis.
Il was sergeant-major then and Col.
Dickey of the 4th Illinois said to me;
I don't like that order Go down to
the station and see what shelter they
have there for our baggage went
down and found that there was no
shelter of any sort. reported that
fact to Gen. Sherman and all he would
say was. Burn your baggage. then =
HE did object to another thing,
though. There were seventy-one negro
%contrabands with the regiment, though
we were forbidden to let the negroes
come with US. There were about an
equal number of led horses, and to
prevent trouble with the beasts we put

came Gen. Sherman and looked at the
mounted darkies.
