A Sharp Distinction.

A merited retort is not always a
retort courteous, says the Youths
Companion. The rebuke that was
administered to party of intruding
tourists by the old watchman who
was set to guard the walls OF college
hall at Wellesley not long after the
great fire, conveyed keen but sub
tie reproach.

GEN. SHERMAN SAIL so.
Many Times Expressed the Opinion
That WAR is HE'LL"

note in your issue of today your
editorial. War is He'll" 1t was
hardly to be expected that Gen. Sher-
man in an official communication to
the chief magistrate at Atlanta or any
important city would use language
stronger than War is cruelty and
you cannot refine it., but isn't cruel
ty hellish?
Moreover, many years ago | sat as
one of a good many guests at the
same table with Gen. Sherman at a
semi-publict dinner. men only being
present, and heard his reply to a
somewhat inquisitive participant-it
was after the table had been cleared
and punch and cigars added to the
wine-who had asked him, was told
(my attention was otherwise engaged
at the beginning of the colloQuy)
whether he had really used the ex-
preston War is hell" Gen. Sher-
mans reply was substantially that,
ever since the Mexican war Of 1S47.

OLD-TINIE REMEDIES.
Renewed Demand for Medicines of
the Old Days.

Diet. pure food, pure air and less
worry constitute the favorlte pre-
scriptions of doctors in this progress
sive day, says Leslie's. And We are
having a revival of the old-fashioned
remedies of our mothers and grand
mothers, who depended upon nature S
herbs for most of their medicines
Never before has there been such
demand for pennyroyal, peppermint,
wintergreen, gold-thread and other
simple remedies of the old days, and
all of these enter into numerous popu-
lar medicaments Now comes the
discovery that by careful refining
of crude oil, a tasteless, colorless
product can be evolved that will act
as an internal lubricant for the hu-
man system. This was Russian
medical discovery and the oil received
the name of Russian Oil" 1t was
obtaining worldwide fame when the
war broke out and interfered with
our foreign trade. American ingenu-
ity met the demands of the emergen-
cy and replaced Russian oil with
product from the laboratories OF our
own chemists. So with natures
herbs and the products of natures
distillation. providence administers
its healing remedies to suffering man
kind and leaves less for the doctors
to do.

CUT OUT VICTIMS EYES.
No Weapon Found Near Mutilated
Body; Thought Suicide.

What appeared to be case of sui
eide has assumed the proportions of
a murder mystery. and Coroner L. l..
Liken and the members of the jury

Shearer. who was discovered dead in
his home. mis- body in badly decom-
posed state, adjourned pending an
autopsy.

and a woman who lived with him, as
his housekeeper having been absent

ium.
By his side was found a quantity
of gin and a package of cyanide of
potassium. The dead mans eyes,
however, had been cut from his head
and taken away and the body other
wise mutilated. No knife or other
instrument was found.

A CHANGED PARIS.
The City Has Little Appetite for
Gaiety Now.

Paris is safe now, and, life an in
valid just out of danger, is able to sit
up and see a few friends" writes
Estelle Loomis, in the July Century.
The Follies Bergeres. How like old
times! Surely you won't be able to
help laughing there! In that slim
and preoccupied audience there is
dry laugh or two occasionally, but
mostly they dream at the ceiling.
Comedy scenes go for pathos, and
pathos-men yawn, and walk out. Is
this a dress rehearsal, college boys
theatricals, or what? The house
drifts further and further away until
suddenly-'La Marseillaise!' and the
crowd is on it's feet, electrified, join
ing in the chorus, shouting 'Vive la
France!' With the waving tri-color
for a spur the show picks up for
while until a shudder runs through
the spectators that fancy bayo-
net drill by the chorus. And now
the women leave; their faces are
little white. No, the city has little
appetite for gaiety; it is gripping
realities. A myriad poignant needs
keep Paris busy. And as the trained
nurse in the operating room does not
laugh or ask questions, but silently
passes the instruments, so anxious,
obedient Paris is straining every
nerve to assist, the surgeon, and has
no thought for anything but war.
And, stimulated by it's great peril,
that thought has been so concentrat-
ed by suffering. by sacrifice, and SER
vice, that Paris has been lifted into
a new order of being. 1t has gone
on, it has gone up

FOR SERVICE ON JURY.
Right Kind Of Man Needs to Possess
Character and Information.

The proposed ten-to-two verdlct
for juries in civil cases is a step IN
the right direction, writes a cor
respondent. 1 have served on juries
for over ten years, working in the
supreme courts, the city courts and
the criminal courts, and my expert
ence has shown me that on almost
every jury is found one or more or
the following:
The man who has not enough edu-
cation and experience to weigh evil
dence.
The man of anarchistic or socialls-
tic tendencies who refuses to accept
the judges Interpretation Of the law
The man who habitually votes for
the poor or unfortunate in a suit
against corporation or well-to-do
individual.
The deaf man who does not hear
the evidence.
The man who is unable to compre-
hend legal language, as. for instance
the one who consider the weight. OF
evidence dependent upon quantity
rather than quality.
The self-suficient man who won't
argue.
The abusive man who insults his
fellow-jurors and insists that one
who changes his vote has been cor
rupted.
Many who have done jury duty
will recognize the above types and
will recall the time when one of them
has caused II tired men to be need
lessly locked up in stuffy room for
hours. In a case of statutory as
sault the man next to me, in advance
of the introduction of any evidence.
whispered to me: "The legislature
had it's turn; the district attorney is
now to have his; we'll have our turn
later. We should interpret this law
in a common sense way" 1t is
needless to say the case resulted in
a disagreement the second time. Two
men on the jury openly declared
they would not vote for conviction
in this particular case. no matter
what the evidence or the law in the
case might be.
The solution Of the civil jury ques-
ton is majority verdict and de-
termination of the intelligent busi-
ness man not to duck this most
important civic duty. If the men
who should serve on juries would
serve, the general grade of juries
would be raised and attorneys would
have better opportunity to select
juries which could and would rem
der verdicts according to the evl-
dence and the law.-New York
Times.

DIR. WYLIE'S EXPERIMENT.
Former Chief Chemist is Raising Son
After His Own Notion.

There is a little boy in Washing
ton, the son of one of the most we'll
known men in the United States who
has never tasted candy, ice cream or
cake When he goes to parties like
all other little boys and girls, he
takes several graham crackers. And
this little boy goes to scores and
scores of parties. He has never been
Ill and is strong and healthy with
hard muscles" according to his
father.
This little fellow with this unique
record is the two and half year old
son of DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. former
chief chemist of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
And besides, Master Wiley doesn't
want any of those delicacies. Last
May the Northern Pacific railway sent
him an eight-pound fruit cake with
two gold-plated candles on it," said
DR.. Wiley. 81 cut a small piece and
asked him if he wanted some"
"No, daddy" he said. Cake not
good for your boy"
DR.. Wiley said he was strongly op-
posed to feeding children sweets,
such as candy, ice cream and cake.
1T makes children fat and it's a
sin to begin fat in babyhood. We
get that way soon enough" added
this big, stout man.
When the boy attended his first
party, DR.. Wiley said he went along
and when the other children had
lunch he told his boy that sweets
were not good for him and that he
should not eat them. The lad
agreed, said DR.. Wiley, and ate gra-
ham crackers instead.
HE eats his mush without sugar
and cream every morning." said DR..
Wiley. "and you couldn't make him
eat it any other way. He has never
been taught to eat candy and sweets
and he doesn't want them. Every
Sunday evening he gets some black
berry preserves, which he enjoys,
but they have acids and other foods
in them and are nourishing."
The youngster didn't eat bite of
candy, or cake on Christmas, the
feast day of most other boys and
girls. DR.. Wiley said he bought no
candy for his children. Instead they
had fresh fruits and nuts.
DR.. Wiley said children should not
have candy because it interferes
with their digestion, decays their
teeth and makes them crave an un-
usual amount. No one under 1S
years of age should eat candy, said
DR.. Wiley. And he recommended
it for men and women who work
hard physically" He said it was
especially good for football players
and that he recommended to the
Harvard coach that each player eat
sugar during the game. Sugar
burns up quickly in the blood he
added.

MASS OF MUD A MARQUIS.
MUSES. Surprised When Wounded
Soldier Was Revealed.

The women of France in general
have been splendid in doing their bit
during the war. Numbers of society
women have devoted themselves to
nursing the sick and wounded and
have done it very we'll. There are
some of them however, Of whom the
French medical corps have complain
ed bitterly; those who joined the
Red Cross pour passer lie temps
or to wear the becoming white uni
form of the "Garde malade," or even
to flirt.
At a large hospital near Paris a
wounded soldier was brought straight
from the trenches. He was a mass
of dry mud and an overpowering
stencil came from his clothing. The
doctor ordered that he should be un-
dressed and washed so that he could
examine the wounds. The amateur
women nurses in their Red Cross
costumes tried to do so, but though
the spirit was willing the flesh was
weak and one after the other had to
give up attempting the job
An orderly had to be called in to
do it, and did it so we'll that the
mass of mud was transformed into
a fine, well-built young fellow with
fair hair and mustache. The women
nurses ran to attend to him, but he
declined their aid. BY the rules he
was obliged to take his food from
them. When they drew up to the
bed cart with the dietary they were
further surprised to learn that he
was the young Marquis de X, one of
the wealthiest unmarried men in
France, and widely known in Ameri-
can saloons in Paris. The ladies who
refused to touch the dirty soldier
when he was brought to the hospital
are now so sorry.
1t is announced in London that
nearly 100000 capital has been
promised for the proposed British ma
tional dye-stuff industry, by means
of which it is planned to supply the
place of former importations from
Germany.

MEETING OF DAYT0NA
VOLUNTEER FIREMEN

Nineteen members of the Daytona
Volunteer Fire department responded
Monday evening to published call
for a meeting of that highly important
organization. The meeting was held
at the city hall, in the council cham
her. and President Geo. II. Gardiner
was present in his official capacity.
Besides discussion of roofing ma
terials affording more or less fire pro-
lection and further consideration OF
the proposed alarm system that has
been agitated for some time, nothing
of extraordinary public interest oc
cupied the volunteers attention.
An interesting paper on roofing was
| read by NJ. E. Fiddler. The paper was
brief treatise on the evolution OF
the structural features of house
covering, commencing with the print
tive log roof and coming to the pres
ent day fireproof materials.
President Gardiner appointed w. +
French, H. E. Burdick and c. E. Gar

fire alarm system for the city. Thi
committee probably will make a re
