A NATURAL HANDICAP.

The Life Extension institute is an
organization which is fighting disease
through publicity Its membership
includes some of the greatest living
scientists and educators. These au
thorities have put forth many rad
ical statements concerning alcohol
They declare that the present antag.
onistic attitude of several European
monarchs towards this "deadening
drug" is fully warranted by scientific
evidence. Alcohol" they say, is a
handicap for a nation at war. It is a
handicap for an individual in the strug-
gle for existence. This is not the
judgment of scientists alone, nor OF
weddings and faddists, but of the
big-brained, strengthened men upon
whom has fallen the tremendous bur.
den of guiding great nations through
the greatest crisis in history"

ID RECALL OUMbA
 FOR CONSULTATION Austrian Ambassador Will be Recall ed to Vienna and His Success
 sor May Not Be Appointed.

r VIENNA, Sept. 17.-The Austrian government, while denying that it has received any official information as to the controversy in which the Aus trian ambassador Dumba, has become involved with the American govern ment has intimated that the minis ter will probably be recalled to Vi- enna for consultation with the foreign office.
 It is believed here that if Ambas- sador Dumba is recalled that the Austrian government will not appoint successor until the close of the European war, but will leave matters concerning Austria to the German ambassador for settlement. The feel ing among the Austrian officials is antagonistic toward America. The United States is charged with favor ing the Allies in every manner pos sible, because of the trade which America is now enjoying as result of the war.

FIND SHELL OF CIVIL WAR
 DATE ON WESTERN SHORE

An interesting relic of privateering days in the civil war when the Shen- andoah of the confederate navy swept the northern seas of American shipping, was brought to Seward to- day by H. Warner, third officer of the Santa Ana, says the Post. It is a shell of the first type, when round cannon balls were still in use, and weighs nearly 60 pounds.
 The shell was found on the beach by a native at Udadta head by a na- tive who was hunting wood, and was carried to the trader at Unalaska.
 It was still alive the inside con- taining a charge of black powder, but the fuse had been worn away by the sea, leaving only the plug, which bears the inscription, "Rr. 1864. Ord. D."

The Dog Team.

Now the modus operandi of a dog team is as follows: The leader and wheel dog are the whole works on the basis of 75 to 255. The leader starts 'em. he stops 'em. he picks the trail, he turns 'em. When he walks, the rest do: when he gallops. they gallop. All the wheel dog does is to guide the nose of the sled, materially assisted by the driver. The rest of the team merely pull and yelp
 From which follows that good lead. CT is a very desirable thing to have and a poor leader Is worse than use. less. The driver. at the handlebars, is often thirty feet from the leader. the dogs being driven tandem and con- trolled by word of mouth and whip Outing.

 Cabals were formed and every orm of ingenuity resorted to until
 at last success crowned the attempts of his enemies and Burgevine, di- vested Of his honors, was ordered not to lesve the boundaries of the capital.
 His American spirit would not
 brook the success of his bitter foes. Refusing to submit to such unjust
 humiliation and base ingratitude, he
 managed to escape from Picking and fled to the disorganized rebel camp,
 where he was received with open arms and placed in high command. Finally in a sanguinary battle the rebel forces were utterly routed and General Burgevine, fighting with great courage, was taken prisoner. In the hands of his foes, Burge- vine was tortured with Eastern bar
 parity.
 Then, forgetting all they owed him forgetting the provocation their
 former ingratitude had given him.
 they condemned him to a most cruel and inhuman death-that of being sewed up alive in sack and cast

EARLY FIRE FIGHTERS.

ksw York Had a Volunteer Brigade In
 the Seventeenth Century.
 There was an organized fire depart ment in New York city as early as 1648, when a fire prevention squad existed, with duties resembling those of the bu- reau of fire prevention of today. The older squad was made up of police fremen, or f1re-policemen. whose duty was to visit all parts of the city, which then extended from the Battery to City Hall park. and inspect the chimneys to see whether they were free from fire danger. Those guilty of having chim- neys in a dangerous condition were fined $1.5O, which went to buy new equipment, such as fire ladders. hooks and buckets.
 In the days of the fire police of 1648 the owner of each of the POO odd houses on Manhattan island had to have one or more fire buckets in his house. These were made of leather and cost $2.6O. A local shoemaker got the contract to furnish 15O to the corporation. These buckets had to be thrown out of the houses when the watchman gave the alarm of fire They were picked up by the volunteer f1remen rushing to the blaze and used by bucket brigade formed between the burning building and the nearest well.
 When the wells ran dry the brigades kometimes had to make the river their base. Any one attempting to pass through the fire lines at that time was doused. The man who breaks through and tells the chief how to fight the fire is an evil that has sprung up in modern times.-New York Times

TRICOLOR OF FRANCE.
First Adopted In 1794, It Fell and Rose
 Again In 1880.

First Adopted In 1794, It Fell and Rose
 Again In 1880.
 The French have always favored the colors of red, white and blue, and throughout their history red banners, white plumes and blue scarfs have been largely used in connection with royalty and the army.
 The French national flag, the tricolor, however, which combines the three popular colors of France, is compara- lively modern. The flag was first adopted about 1794. A decree was is- sued which gave to all flags knot of tricolor ribbons at the top of the staff. and later the red. white and blue de sign was chosen for the national flag Some years after it was abolished for the white flag of France made famous by Henry w., and 1t was not until 1850 that the tricolor came into Its own again. Since then the flag has been the national banner of France.
 The divisions on the tricolor are not all the same size The red occupies the largest space. the blue is slightly smaller than the red. and the white Is the narrowest stripe of the three. The space occupied by the colors has been scientifically worked out in order to make the flag visible at long distances. a necessary asset for naval purposes.
 The tricolor forms the base of nearly every flag connected with the army. navy and merchant service of France. The presidents flag consists of the tri- color, with his initials in gold worked into the white stripe.-London Stand ard.

Garlic and Milk.

The odor and flavor of garlic Is due, like the odor of rotten eggs, to sul- phur compounds. Garlic Is member of the onion family, grows in pastures. cultivated fields and even in the woods.
 Garlic is bad pest on any farm. but is exceptionally so on dairy farm because of the strong flavor 1t gives to the milk. A temporary expedient is to keep the COWS off the infested pasture at least four hours before milking. This will greatly reduce the bad flavor. Then if the milk stands at least four hours the flavor may disappear altogether Farm and Preside.
