WORKING THE NEWSPAPERS

One might suppose from its name
that a newspaper was printed for the
purpose Of publishing the news and
as a business venture under private
Management, was conducted to yield q
reasonable profit on the capital invest
ed. But these must be erroneous
views; for they arc not at all the pop
ular conception of papers aim or
privilege.
According to the general under
standing a newspaper exists principal
| ly to boom everybody's business but its
own and TO grant unlimited space to
free advertising. Even the United
States government holds to this opin-
ion tenaciously and periodically sends
long notices of the time and place of
holding civil service examinations,
new postal regulations or whatever
else needs to be widely known, and in
variably requests that the same be
published in full without charge to
the government" Senator'S and con-
grossmen, with now and then rare
exception, expect every paper in this
state TO advertise freely and extern
sively the fact that they have an ap-
pointment to West Point or Annapolis
TO fill and wish candidates to present
themselves at a certain time and place
for examination.
These notices, it is argued, are of
interest to the subscribers and have
certain news value. The subscribers
may also be interested in the fact that
s"Te farmer is going to sell herd If
cattle at auction, or a merchant has
counter of marked-down remnants |
ready for purchasers; but the news
value of such items is practically lost
in the commercial nature of the an
nouncement. The government is not
an object Of charity but can well afford
to pay for the advertising it wants
done. 1t is not lavish of its favors
where the newspapers are concerned
but tics them up with the red tape Of
postal regulations, against which it is
useless to struggle. If young men are
desired for cadets at West Point and
and Annapolis Uncle Sam is just as
well able to pay for notice to that
effect as is the woman who wants "a
good capable girl for general house
work"

SOME FACTS ABOUT BEER.

pint of beer contains eight-tenths
of an ounce of alcohol, equivalent near
ly to a tablespoonful Of whisky.
While cold beer tastes cool and
pleasant to hot man, 1t does not cool
him off.
1t heats him up.
The alcohol and solids are burned
Into heat.
The effect Of alcohol Is to send an
excess of blood to the skin.
Whenever large amount of blood
goes to the skin 1t causes feeling of
warmth.
When a man drinks beer he causes
himself to feel hot.
He also actually increases his body
heat.
He increases his chances of sun
stroke at least 100 per cent.--Dr. w.
A. Evans, Chicago.

"But, monsieur. who made the
charges? Who brought the matter to
the attention Of Louis?"
1.-THE Comte de Frontenac; he was
your fathers friend, and won him res.

Forest met him In France was he
aware of the wrong done Captain lie

with La Sale. a Franciscan once sta

the regiment of Carignan- Salliers.
Armed with information thus gained,
he made appeal to Louis. IT'S told me
the king .was SO angry he signed the
order OF arrest with his own hand,
and handed 1t to La Forest to execute"

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.

In appearance the beer-drinker may
be the picture of health, but in reality
he Is most incapable of resisting dis
ease. A slight injury, a severe cold,
or shock to the body or mind will
commonly provoke acute disease. end
Ing fatally. Compared with other in
ebriates who use different kinds of al
cohol, he Is more incurable and more
generally diseased. 1t Is our observa-
ton that bcer-drinking in this country
produces the very lowest kind Of in
ebriety, closely allied to criminal In
sanity. The most dangerous classes OF
ruffians In our large cities are beer
drinkers. Intellectually stupor
amounting almost to. paralysis arrests
the reason, changing all the higher fac
ulties into mere animalism, sensual,
selfish, sluggish, varied only with
paroxysms of anger, senseless and
