nearly all the other half. Now, less
than per cent of the men who com.

When Iceland Went Dry.

The first European parliament to en-.
force teetotalism was that of Iceland
where law was passed two years ago
prohibiting the importation or sale of
intoxicating liquors. One effect of this
measure was to deprive the foreign
consuls at Reykjavik of their drink. so
they protested to the governor. point
Ing out that such a deprivation consti.
tuted an infringement of the rights of
diplomacy. Permission was thereupon
granted the consuls to import beer.
wine and spirits. provided these fluids
are consumed only on the premises 10
which they are consigned. Moreover.
the total amount imported by each
consul must not exceed 500 liters in
year. and the quantity required must
be imported in one consignment. Only
the representatives of France and
Norway benefit by this concession
The other consuls are unpaid. and. be

SAvlNGAN
BY MARAH ALICE PETERS.

For good or bad, the world all be-
before me! Freedom, health-which
path shall take?"
The man who spoke was an ex-con-
vict. He had just been released from
the penitentiary after serving q ten
years. sentence for embezzlement. He
was not thirty-five, yet his hair was
streaked with gray and there was q
certain hardness about the lips that
comes from solitude and resentment.
In a word, Mark Burnham. with lit
tie or no bringing up. an orphan from
a tender age, had wasted five years of
his life, had secured a good position.
Finally temptation had come, he had
appropriated funds of his employer
and had been convicted.
During all those years of hard labor
he had preserved stolid, rather than
a submissive attitude. He had count
ed the days on notched stick. The
last one had been reached. He was
freed with a new suit of clothes and
a few dollars in his pocket. At the
door of the prison he was met by a
lawyer. A distant relative had left
him 100000 A free man, he could
now claim it.
The snug little fortune or its equiv.
alent now reposed within a secret
pocket. That afternoon he had walked
to line of hills overlooking the coun.
try around, to analyze his unexpected
condition of afluence, to plan for the
future.
His mind was blank as an unwrit-
ten page. He had no friends. He had
paid the law its penalty. He was
clear of the world, and it's fortune.

path, indeed, might he take!

100000 RABBITS A YEAR.
Growth Of Pest in Tasmania Has Gre
ated Serious Problem.

AS in other States in Australia,
says the New York Sun, the problem
Of dealing with the rabbit pest has
been given considerable attention by
farmers and pastoralists in Tasmania
for some tine.
The matter was taken up by the
Farmers and Stockowners' associa-
tion at a recent meeting Of the coun-
Gil of that body. Among other things
it was stated that information had
been collected bearing upon the trade
in rabbit skin in this State. The fig
ures indicated that not less than 81
100000 skins were exported from
Tasmania each year, the value of
which was under s250,0OO.
AS poison was also generally used
for destroying the pest, it was quite
safe to assume that as many more
were killed, making the death roll
equal to 100000. Adding to that
at least 100000 left at the end of
each winter to breed again, the con-
clusion was arrived at that the lands
of the State were growing every year
100000 rabbits.
Taking these figures as basis and
allowing Is rabbits to consume as
much grass as one sheep, it was COM
puted that the rabbit was occupying
the place of 100000 sheep, or, in
other words. taking up about one
third of the lands for which the State
received under s250,000, as against
the value of 100000 sheep. which
would be not less than S1,500,0OO at
a low estimate.

Great Mems Opinion Of War.

Here are the opinions of some Of
the worlds really great men on war:
Jean Jacques Rosseau: War is
the foulest fiend that ever vomited
forth from the mouth of hell.
Thomas Jefferson: l abhor war
and view it as the greatest scourge
of mankind.
Benjamin franklin: There never
was a good war or bad peace.
William Llyod Garrison: My coun-
try is the world; my countrymen are
all mankind.
Napoleon Bonaparte: The more /
study the world, the more l am con-
vinced of the inability Of force to
create anything durable.
Paul on Mars Hill: God hath made
of one blood all nations Of men for
to dwell on all the face of the earth.
O., Andrew Carnegie: We have
abolished slavery from civilized coun-
tries, the owning of man by man.
The next great step that the world
can take is to abolish war, the kill
ing Of man by man.
George Washington: My first
wish is to see the whole world at
peace, and the inhabitants Of it as
one band of brothers, striving which
should most contribute to the happi-
ness of mankind.
Abraham Lincoln: With malice to-
ward none, with charity for all, with
firmness in the right as God gives us
to see the right. let us strive
to do all which may achieve and
cherish a just and lasting peace
among ourselves and with all nations
Emanuel Kant: The method by
which States prosecute their rights
cannot under present conditions be
a process of law, since no court ex-
lists have jurisdiction over them,
but only war. But through war,
even if it results in victory, the ques-
tion of right is not decided.

MEMS SIZE IN WAR.
They Must Average Well to Fight In
Holland.

1t is a matter of some alarm today
in Britain that the average height of
the indoor workers from whom the
army and navy are recruited in the
event of war is only five feet five
inches. "The strength of nation,' y
is the cry of the London press, can
not be measured by the strength of
it's ships; it has always been and al
ways must be measured by the
strength of its average man. When
we licked the Spanish Armada, in
1888, our ships were small, but our
men were great. When We licked the
French we collared their ships,
mounted the British flag and sent
their choicest men-of-war to Davy
Jones. They may build their ships,
my lads runs the brave song, but
they can't build the boys of the bull
dog breed And we are building
boys of the bulldog breed five feet
five inches high"
But, after all, the question of the
mere height Of men, considered in
connection with the means and
methods of modern warfare, will
have little to do with the case. This
was exempliied in the Russo-Japan-
ese war, when the little brown men
proved superior to the big fellows
of Russia.
And now, with all the great ma
tions of Europe in arms, little Hol-
land is mobilizing her troops. This
recalls story of some years ago.
The prince consort of Holland, a
guest of the kaiser, was attending a
review of the German troops. A
regiment of siX-footers passed by.
Not tall enough" said the visitor to
the kaiser.
A second regiment passed in re-
view, in which every man was six
feet five inches high.
Not tall enough said the man
from Holland.
Not tall enough" exclaimed the
kaiser. What do you mean?"
II mean, your majesty, said the
visitor. when We open the dikes the
water averages eight feet deep. -
