Houseboats of the Thames.

The row of houseboats. each with it's flowers, awning, fiotiila of skiffs; the quantities of well groomed boats for hire among the willows all along the Thames banks-this impression comes on the top of that of the half hour the other day coming into Lon don in sickly fog. of the horrible miles of Bermondsey and Lambeth along the lines. the ruthless heaps Of rubbish, the hurry and grime of the two stations at Waterloo. The house. boats. etc. are the elaborate flower of that ugly plant called civilization.

THE COST OF WAR.

War is costly institution.
 In recent paper, Alfred H. Fried calls attention to what the war in the Balkans has cost some of the leading countries of the world. "The bloody conflict in the Balkans" he says, has recently shown that violence applied at any point in the world is fraught with serious consequences for all" and he adds:
 "The Balkan war has induced Ger many to raise the peace footing of her army to 900000 men, to impose upon herself extraordinary expendi- lures to the extent of 100000 ,000 marks ($30O,00O,OO0) and to increase the regular disbursements of the war budget by 1SO million marks annually It has caused France to make the ex- traordinary expenditure of billion for the army and navy and to re-estab- fish the three years service. The Austro-Hungarian war ministry is asking for 1,200,000,000 kronen (about $24O,OO0,O0O) for military expendi- lures made necessary by the Balkan war, of which sum nearly 800 mil lions are intended for mobilization purposes; and, in addition to this, for permanent increase of the budge, and the increase of the peace footing of the standing army by 80,000 men,"
 By slow degrees we are learning what it means to maintain the heavy naval and military equipment we now maintain, and, finally, we will abandon the unwise policies which burden us.
 What we are learning is that we can settle our problems in peaceful way; that the sword is not the only means of arbitrament;; that we can be friends without fighting for it, and that, surely, is a lesson worth while after all these centuries of turmoil.

BEER IN ANCIENT ENGLAND.
When the Law Demanded "Drynke"
 For the Kinq's Subjects.

Authorities in England formerly took pains that the LOndoner should not miss his full share of ale. In the six teenth century. for instance, the brew CT who ceased to brew was faced with the loss of his business. Thus, If the mayor got wind of "any of the saide brewers, of their frowarde and per verse myndes, shall at any time here after sodenly forbeare and absteyne from bruyinge. whereby the kings sub- jects should be destitute or unprovid- ed of drynke." he knew exactly what to do. The city council was empower ed to take over the business as going concern and to take measures to see that it was kept going.
 The cry then and for centuries after was all for beer. There is record of petition of 1873. for instance, praying that tea. coffee and brandy be banned. The petitioners reasoned that the la borers needed good strong beer and ale" which refreshed their bodies and neither did them prejudice nor hinder ed their work"
 Besides. it cost little and was the product of home grown grain. whereas the new fangled drink was expensive and destroyed his majesty's subjects. mot agreeing with their constitution" :" Chicago News.

Shipwrecks and Courts Martial.

The custom of holding courts martial in the British navy after every case of shipwreck has curious origin. In 17I1 the Wager. one of Commodore .Anson's vessels. was wrecked off the coast of Chile. most of the crew being saved The men and some of the jun for officers held that they were no longer amenable to discipline because their pay ceased with the wreck. but the captain. whose name was Davy Cheap, differed. treated them as muti- neers and shot one of his midshipmen. He was then deposed. and most of the crew made off in three of the boats. Later when it was proposed to proceed against the so called mutineers the law officers of the crown decided that the men had been correct in their view. This discovery led to the framing of section 91 of the articles of war. which provides that ill the case of shipwreck. destruction or capture by the enemy ship is held to remain in commission pending inquiry by a court martial.

than we do, and no small share of the credit is due to the large proportion of cattle to fertilize the land"
 Moreover, these countries, and :es- pecially the United Kingdom, give greater attention to the type of cat tie than we do in the United States. An early maturing animal that is ready for the market at two years of age has advantages over one that requires four years. Consequently an acre of land is able to produce more beef
 No the United States is not over crowded with cattle. On the contrary, it is understocked and the beef sup ply is decreasing yearly. We have plenty of room for more cattle. What we need is more expert live stock farmers and more attention paid to the production of beef cattle.
 Until the individual farmer turns his hand to the raising of a good type Of beef cattle there is no chance for cheaper beef. When every farm raises beef and the supply catches up with the demand-then we shall have cheaper beef and the high cost of liv- ing will be reduced.-Ex.

LIGHT AND HEAT.

How They Reach Us From Out tho Icy
 CoIdness of Space.
 In answer to the question, Tt Is thought that in space eternal cold and darkness prevail-what then is the ex- planation of the fact that both light and heat from the sun. some 9O,OOO.- GOO miles away in cold space, reach the earth?' Edgar Lucien Larkin in the New York American says:
 "Heat and light as such do not reach the earth from our own and OO,OOO,OOO more suns. Radiant energy is transmitted by undulations or waves in electrons. which energy is in the forms of waves of varying lengths and amplitudes. When some of these en- ergy impulses impinge on matter able to receive and appropriate them heat and light result.
 Many molecules in many thousands of kinds of matter are able to trans late energy waves into heat. while others are translated as light on the retna of the eye and in the brain. But no heat nor light develops until the waves strike forms of matter fitted to receive, appropriate and translate.
 "Thus energy will pass through a burning glass made of ice, converge to a focus and set light objects on fire"

 from the street to his office door on which in small letters is the sign, 'Al. J. Jennings" He has quit his law practice. He says man cant be ex- actly on the square and practice law. Then, it will take all his time to at tend to the coming campaign.
 "The old outlaw days" said Jen- nings, that l have been trying so hard for fifteen years to forget were uncouth, they were sometimes savage and sometimes even murderous. But those men were men. They never lied. There is no comparison between the outlaws who openly broke the law and the public official pho perjures himself by swearing falsely to the amount of his election expenses. These men are criminals just the same as the admitted outlaws who are in jail now. They are rarely worse for they parade in sheep's clothing
 Jennings is already announcing his platform, which is said to be the shortest one on which a candidate ev- CT ran for high office. He promises: First, fidelity to the people. Second, real honesty in office. Third, that the law shall be no respector of per sons. When these principles are truthfully and honestly carried out, all interests will be subserved and taxes will be greatly reduced. In all my life, have never betrayed con fidence. If the people confide in me, God may be judge, I'll not betray them"

WHAT WILL THE MExlCANS DO?

The controlling thought of every humane American, when Mexico is the subject, is not concerned With the details of matters at present in dis pute, but with the broad question Of how the restoration of peace and lawful government, which is undoubt- edly the desire of the really influen- tial citizens of the republic, is to be accomplished. That the initiative must be taken in Mexico and by Mex jeans, and not, as MT. Kahn of Cali fornia said in speech in the House of representatives recently, by a con- bination of the United States govern ment with those of certain South American republics, is the general agreement. The Mexican people in this stage of their history ought to be able to put their own premises in or der. The spectacle of three or four million intelligent people, who know how to conciliate their uneducated kindred and to lead them, supinely submitting to the ineffective rule Of one old soldier and few inconsider- able bureaucrats, while large part of ftheir territory is dominated and it's inhabitants terrorized by a ferocious bandit, is both saddening and prepos- terous
 The plan to obtain the co-opera- tion of Argentina, Brazil and Chile in a movement to promote peace. in Mexico was originally conceived a year or more ago by MT. Charles H. Sherrill, formerly our minister in Ar gentina, and it received some favor able comment. But it would estab- fish a dangerous precedent, while at tempted mediation of any sort at this time would arouse needless suspicious in Mexico We still have hopes that no sort of mediation will be necessary, that the Mexican citizens will discov- CT how to silence the malcontents in their country and find a way to peace.
 The announcement that Carranza, who has been so strangely silent in serious crisis, has dispatched mes senger to Huerta to make oVertures of peace, though it may be as lll- founded as most of the other rumors of happenings in Mexico, is extreme ly interesting. Surely Carranza, if he is the man he has been represented to be, must do something to rid him self of responsibility for the lawless doings of Villa. No hope for peace in Mexico, or the establishment of any sort of stable government, can be placed in Villa On the other hand, the plight of the old Dictator at the capital is such that he might fairly be expected to seize a good oppor- tunity to get rid of his heavy burden with honor. But whatever is to be done for the common good in Mexico must be done, not by one or two men, but by many intelligent citizens, act ing in harmony. Just at this moment the important question is what they are going to do, not what the United States or any European nation is go- ing to do. For nothing is clearer than that something must be done.-New York Times

SAYS SULPHUR
DRIVES ECZEMA
FROM THE SKIN
Use Like Cold Cream to In
StantIy Stop Itching and
Clear the Skin.

Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol-
ogist, just common bold-sulphur made
into thick cream will soothe and
heal the skin when irritated and
broken out with Eczema or any form
of eruption. The moment it is ap-
piled all itching ceases and after two
or three applications the EcZera dis
appears, leaving the skin clear and
smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers to get
from any good pharmacy an ounce Of
bOld-sulpEur cream and apply it to
the irritated parts the same as you
would any cold cream.
For many years common bOld-sul-
phur has occupied a secure position
in the practice Of dermatology and
cutaneous affections by reason of its
misunderstanding property. 1t is
not only parasiticidal but also anti
pruritic, antiseptic and remarkably
healing in all irritable and inlamma-
tory conditions of the skin. While
not always effecting a permanent
cure IL never fails TO instantly subdue
the angry itching and irritation and
heal the Eczema right up and it is
often years later before any eruption
again appears on the skin.-Advt.
