WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The New

authority that the above information,
vitality essential in the consideration
of Government ownership of tele-
graph and telephone lines, has been
ignored by the House Postoffice Com
mittee
The data acquired has been the
subject of several resolutions in the
House. Advocates of Government
ownership of telegraph and telephone
companies have introduced measures
calling upon the Postoffice Depart
ment for all information supplement
tary to that contained in the annual
report.
The resolutions have, without cx-
ception. been referred to the Post
office Committee. There they are now
pigeonholed.
According to the story, as it has
leaked from the Postoffice Depart
ment, the Administration is afraid az
the present time to have an open
break with the Democrats in Congress

TYRANTs WHO WELDED RODS
Great schoolmasters of Happily De-
parted Regime Thoroughly Be-
lieved In Floeging.

We do not remember any severe
cases Of flogging in the public schools
of our little village on the Connecti-
cut river-district, intermediate, gram
mar, high. Hold out your hand!"
and a ruler was brought down upon
It; but we do not remember any in
stance Of q sound whipping, Philip
Hale writes In the Boston Herald.
That was done by parents at home
anxious to raise their young in the
nurture and admonition Of the Lord.
We remember a household in
Northampton where a riding whip, a
rawhide and a carriage whip were
laid on a wretched boy according to
the gravity Of his offense. The use OF
the carriage whip, necessitating moro
dexterity in management, probably
afforded the father more pleasure and
certainly gave him more exercise. To
chastise a child was in those days
considered a solemn religious duty.
There was the book Of Proverbs with
it's admonitions, and in the sixties
clergymen and members Of the con-
gregation believed that King Solomon
wrote all the proverbs with his own
hand except those explicitly attrib-
uted to Agur. He that doubted this
or did not follow Solomon's advice
was worse than an infidel. But We
do not remember any DR.. Busby in
our schools; DR.. Busby, who had
flogged 16 bishops when they were
his pupils-as bishops they no doubt
still sat uneasily upon the bench
DR.. Busby, who, looking at his pu-
Pill, South, famous afterward as a d.
vine, exclaimed: II see great talents
in that sulky boy, and shall endeavor
to fog them out" There was no
DR.. Parr, who, as De Quincy said,
had reigned in blood and banQueted
like Moloch upon children's cries.
There was no Bowyer, the master at
Christ's hospital, who "knouted his
way through life, from bloody youth
up to truculent old age" and with
whom the words, I'll fog you," were
SO familiar that when a female friend
of one of the boys fingered at his
door after having been told to go,
Bowyer exclaimed: Bring that wom-
an here, and I'll fog her" Floggings
with all of this great line Of school
masters were "luxuries for the mo-
ment, and subjects Of sweet consola
ton in the retrospect"

Military Force. of serxia.

Servia's plan of military organization
Is distinctive. Compulsory service is
personal for all ablebodied men and pc
cuniary for all who are incapable of
personal service. These latter must pay
an indirect tax of 80 per cent addi-
tional. The military forces are divided
into national army and the land
sturm, which forms the last line Of de-
Tense. Service in the national army
begins at twenty-one and ends after
forty-five. In the landsturm it begins
at seventeen, ends at twenty-one; be-
gins again at forty-six and ends al
fifty.
The national army consists of three
bans, the first ban including all able
bodied men between twenty-one and
thirty-o one. the second ban all between
thirty-one and thirty-eight and the
third those between thirty Eight and
forty-6ve.
The first ban has its cadre, a school
through which every abebodied mar
of twenty-one must pass. No one is al
lowed to change his nationality while
belonging to the first ban. nor can any
member thereof receive any outside
appointment or become even a monk
until he has served his term in the
army.-Baltimore Sun.

If You Do Not Have tuberculosis
This popular remedy never fails

Guard zealously your general
health, in order that your body
may resist attacks of the tubercu.
losls germ.
See that your living rooms are
clean and we'll ventilated at all
times. Sleep with your windows
open the year round.
See that you have plenty Of
fresh air in your work shops.
Eat only plain, wholesome
food, but do not over-eat.
Spend as much time as posi-
Bile. in body and spirit, in God S
Out-of-doorS.
Do not take medicine, eXcel t
on i doctors advice.
Do not spit, except in paper
and then burn it. Set the con-
sumptive a good example.
Do not live or work with a
careless consumptive.
Battle three or four times each
week, and more often if p ssible.
Avoid excess of all kinds. Vice,
which weakens the strong, kills
the weak.
Do not neglect cold or a
couch, but go to dispensary at
once. You may have consump-
ton and not know it.
Do not overwork.
Always breathe through your
nose, and you will be III less
danger of inhaling the tubercu-
losis germ. than if you breathe
through Your mouth.
Avoid dust and dusty occupa-
ton.
Do everything in your power
to spread the gospel of fresh air
and the outdoor life, ard thus
lessen the ravages of the Great
White Plague.

had gone his son would go into the
