Catarrh Doesn’t Poison Body | Admitting that the normal mucus of j the mucous membrane Is harmless or even beneficial, that dess not answer the question about catarrh of the head. Does it harm a man who lias catarrh con tinually to swallow nasal mucus? The answer is no. The reasons are these: Whan a phy sician uses the term catarrhal he has reference to the secretion of mucus, a helpful and not a harmful product. When a layman uses the term catarrh he has reference to a condition, usually of the nose, In which there is produced a large amount of secretion composed of pus and mucus. In so-called catarrh of the head there la a chronic Infection of the nose or some of the sinuses opening from the nose such as the one over the eye. There are several of th<se sinusea; or the prin cipal seat of pus Infection may be some part of the nose or throat membrane Itself The product is a mixture of pua and mucus. A good deal of this secre tion may be swallowed In the course of a day. Is there any proof that It harms? None The mucus contained Is harmless. The pus is a mixture of white blood cor puscles, epithelial cells from the mem branes, and serum from the blood. All of these are harmless. There remain pus cocci and the chemical secreted by them. A well man constantly swallows sa liva containing large numbers of pus cocci and their secretions. Why Is ho not poisoned? In the first place, when germs and their products get Into the stomach, the probability Is that they will be digested. Whatever of their substances gets by the digestive appaiatus Is made harmless by the liver. ThAdoing of tb'it work is one of the princirnl functions of that larg est and most important gland. When a man swallows a glass of milk he swallows more germs than a man with catarrh will swallow In nose secre tion in a day or a week. When a man eats a generous portion of "high” meet, his liver will he called on to do more work destroying the bac terial products responsible for the “high ness" than the catarrh man's liver will destroy In a month. A piece of odorous cheese will call on the liver for work be tarrh la trifling. Of course, to have mucous membranes which produce the normal amount of mucus and no more is better. Of course, the man whose nose is constantly man ufacturing a mixture of mucus and pus Is somewhat discommonded thereby. Hs may bo made somewhat uncomfortable, particularly if he lets his mind dwell on the subject and develops out of it a neurotic tendency. But statements that the constant dripping down his throat causes Indigestion or that swal lowing his nose secretion causes ca tarrh of the stomach or catarrh of the system, or poisons the system, are without foundation. Man and His Dog. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. It seems as if dog stories, illus trative of the fidelity of man’s closest comrade among the brute creation, were never so numerous among the news Items as they are today. Prob ably dog nature has not greatly changed. The skeleton of a dog found covering his master in the ashes at Pompeii wore a collar that told how he had already saved the life of his master three times. Per haps in the remote ancestry of that animal was the dog who met Ulysses on his return to Ithaca. We have often wondered what kind of dog Noah chose to go with him into the ark. It must have been very hard to make an invidious distinction when they all wanted to go, and no doubt he wanted them all. Perhaps he took a pair of water spaniels. The Way He Should Go. 1 wish I had my neighbor's child for Just six weeks or so; I’d like to teach him all the things he ought to know To guide ills little footsteps in the way that he should go. I cannot try my theories out upon my own dear three. For deeply I regret to state that they are onto me; They know I'm njver auite as fierce as I intend tot bo l They kt w that they must go to sleep when they are tucked in tight; I tell them so, but still they know that I can never quite Resist the plea to sing them songs or tell them tales at night They understand that from our yard they’re not allowed to stray, And yet they know I sympathize so deeply with their play— Tomorrow I’ll be very firm, but let them go today. They have been taught to be polite, that voices should be low. That little friends should not be teased, nor callers asked to go; But yet in front of strangers I can’t punish them, they know. I have such splendid theories and know quite all about The bringing up of children; I haven't any doubt I could have made them perfect, if they hadn’t found me out? I wish T had my neighbor’s child for Just six weeks or so; I’m certain I could teach him all the things he ought to know.

S«.' i-.'*'1 i — -...----- —-—— Bismarck’s Sealed Testament j Germany has been greatly Interested in a suit brought in behalt of the ex kaiser. to prevent tile publication of the last volume of Bismarck’s memoirs, which is about to appear 22 years after the chancellor’s death. While the for mer kaiser’s desire to prevent Its publication is due to other reasons, his tech nical objection is based upon the fact that the volume contains letters which he claims are his personal property. A review of this book from an advance copy In private hands recently appeared in Neue Zurcher Zeltung (Swiss liberal daily), and was reprinted in The Living Age. “Parts of this review are given below. It Is interesting to note that even the "Iron Chancellor” missed his mark by criticizing Germany's trade of Zanzibar for Helgoland, that rock bristling with guns which kept the British fleet from striking at Germany’s rear, and which has now been dismant led. With the art of a great writer of romance, Bismarck first leads upon tho stage the remoter characters which contributed to his overthrow. The first chapter, "Prince Wilhelm," describes the early admiration an<v respect which the future kaiser showed the chancellor, followed by the growing discord be tween them even during the lifetime of his grandfather and father. In a let ter written in 1887, Prince Wilhelm describes the chancellor as a man whose "glorious, work,” the empire, must be long protected and sheltered by its crea tor Thirteen years later, the same Wilhelm in a formal speech referred to the same chancellor as “the handy man of my late, lamented grandfather." In another letter, written a year before tho death of hts father and grandfather—who died in quick succession—Prince Wilhelm informed the chancellor of a proclamation he had written, addressed to the other ruling German princes, which he proposed to issue the moment he ascended the throne. In this document he Indicated a wish to consult with tho princes before he began to reign, for, added Wilhelm to Bismarck: "Wo must have obedience.” He thus showed at this early date his complete misconception of the political power of the German kaiser, who, as president of the*Ger man federation, was not a ruler over his royal associates, but merely first among equals. The expression throws a flash of light deep into the soul of the ambitious heir apparent. Whose misconception of his office as that of a Roman emperior was finally to be his ruin. Wilhelm wished sealed copies of this proclamation to be dispatched im mediately to the representatives of Prussia at all the other courts in Ger many, so that it might be delivered immediately and simultaneously to his fellow sovereigns at his coronation. Such was the eagerness of the prlnco to exercise authority. What did the old chancellor reply? "I would respect fully beg Your Royal Highness to burn at once the draft of a proclamation you have been so kind as to send me." A chapter entitled, "The Crown Council," shows how the divergent social theories of the young kaiser and of Bismarck Increased the friction between them. In,respect to one very important issue at conflict between the two silently struggling opponents, the young kaiser with his youthful plasticity and intuition saw more clearly into the future than the great chancellor, gardened as he was by the plVjudlces of his 75 years. For that great archi tect, who—and who atone—erected the structure of the German state on such firm foundations that even the tornado of the World war and revolution could not shake it, nevertheless had furnished its interior with many articles much out of date. He had ruled alone until he could not accommodate himself to sharing power. In this phase of his controversy with the kaiser, Bismarck was possessed of the idea that discontefited workingmen must be sternly held down, while Wilhelm dreamed of appeasing the class conflict by advanced laws for protecting the laboring population. Bismarck tries to represent the matter as though the kaiser wished to force men into idleness by a statu tory limit to their hours of labor, although the men themselves wanted to work. He kept insisting in opposition to the kaiser's standpoint, both in the crown council and in subsequent negotiations, that strikes were a thing for employers alone to settle—that the government had nothing to do with them. A publication of this portion of the volume would benefit the kaiser’s rep utation, for his plans for social legislation—inspired unhappily more by per sonal vanity than by a sincere desire to do good—were most commendable Jn themselves. It was later that he declared publicly, at a time the recruits were taking their oath of loyalty: “If I so order, it is your duty to fire on your own fathers and brothers.’’ In this controversy, Bismarck yielded and Wilhelm's labor law went through. That is fortunate for Bismarck’s repu tation; for had the outcome been different, the kaiser’s defenders today would have ascribed his overthrow and revolution entirely to Bismarck’s repres The decisive moment approached. In January and February, 1890, a few weeks before his dismissal, Bismarck had a new dispute with his master. During a scene at the Berlin palace, which he pictures vividly, he abruptly put the point directly to the kaiser: “Apparently I am in Your Majesty's way?” And he continues: "The kaiser assented by remaining silent." Sud denly the chancellor's felings swung completely around. His old defiant spirit, all the anger, all the capaclfy to hate of his passionate nature, turned against his tormentor, and he resolved to make the dismissal as hard as possible. At several cabinet sittings at which the kaiser presided, all the " members either actively or passively sided with the latter against the chan cellor. When Bismarck asked one of them later why, the answer was: “We must do something to please him.” Finally, toward the middle of March, the kaiser became more urgent and seized the occasion of the late visit of Windthorst, the centrist leader, to Bismarck, to create a scene. He announced that he would call on the chan cellor at 9 o’clock in the morning, in such a way that the old suffering, sleep less prince did not learn of the proposed visit until half past eight. When Bismarck courteously intimated this fact to the kaiser, the latter remarked curtly that he had sent the message the previous noon. Thereupon he bit terly reproved the prince (Bismarck) for receiving Windthorst. The latter Insisted that it was within his rights to receive distinguished public men at his home. Thereupon the kaiser answered: ‘Even though I. as your sover eign, forbid it?” Bismarck said, “Yes." The kaiser than referred to the new reichstag, the proposed social In surance law, and other measures regarding all of which, as he knew before hand, he held different opinions from those of the prince. Bast of all he re verted to his favorite project, of making another visit In the near future to the Czar of Russia. Bismarck had waited for this. He calmly took a docu ment from his fortfolio, and glancing at it, cautioned the kaiser against an other visit; for a few days previously a report had arrived from the Ger man ambassador in London, Prince Hatzfeld, repeating some very malicious and contemptuous opinions which the czar had expressed of the kaiser, and which had been reported to the ambassador through trustworthy channels. The kaiser demanded further details. Bismarck refused. The kaiser ordered him to read the report. Bismarck continued to refuse to read to him person ally anything so unpleasant; but held the report In his hand as a temptation for his sovereign. He wasjiot deceived. The impulsive, curious, youthful kaiser suddenly seized the memorandum and read it himseir. He turned pale and was most disturbed, for as Bismarck maliciously relates, “There were really some mighty mean things about him in it.” The kaiser terminated the conversation, "and contrary to his usual custom, he merely extended to me carelessly in parting the hand which was holding his helmet.” One can read between the lines the diabolical delight of the great chan cellor, at being able to dangle under the nose of his enemy the real opinion of his imperial Russian colleague. He tasted all the sweetness of revenge ' by flavoring the crisis with this bitter draught for the vanity of the kaiser. With perfect literary art Bismarck describes in a few lines the conclusion of the episode. The kaiser received in some indirect way the report of a Ger man consul in Russia, who intimated that he had discovered indications of a prospective general mobilization. The kaiser, seized with sudden hatred of Russia as a result of the recent scene with the chancellor and of reading the Czar’s insults, placed absolute credence in this casual document, although it was not confirmed by a single responsible communication in the files of the foreign office. In the midst of his passion he wrote_an excited, abusive note to the chancellor, inquiring why such an important fact had been concealed from him. He believed that the consul's report disclosed a great danger imminently threatening the country, and insisted that precautionary meas ures be taken at once. Bismarck, who had followed a pro-Russian policy for 30 years, regarded the whole affair as a piece of nonsense but his calm exposition of the facts only excited further the rage of his already’a*igry master. Added to this was the notorious controversy a3 to whether cabinent members were to deal officially'with the kaiser in person of through the chancellor. Bismarck in sisted on the strict observance of the unbroken precedent whloh had existed for 40 years. The kaiser insisted on deaJing with his cabinet officers in dividually, on the impulse of the moment. The chancellor Insisted that the practice hitherto observed be followed, and that a single mature opinion upon matters of policy should be submitted eo the emperor, and not six or seven hasty, immature, and often conflicting opinions. This was followed by the intrigues among higher officials already familiar to the public. Eventually Bismarck attained his object. The patience of his impatient master was ex hausted. At length the kaiser directed Bismarck to order that the old pro cedure be changed, and cabinet officers be directed to report immediately to the sovereign. This meant that Bismarck should practically sign his own abdication. He refused, but placed his resignation in the kaiser's hands. During the preceding 30 years he had already employed the same threat a half dozen times or more, in order to bend Ills monarch to his will. On one occasion the old kaiser returned his resignation with the marginal note “Never.” This time, however, the young emperor sent the chief of his civil cabinet that very day to receive the document- Bismarck composed it slowly and thoughtfully, taking his time. This did not suit the impatient young sovereign, who sent an adjutant to say, "The kaiser would like the letter by 3 p. m.” Bismarck's pride revolted. He answered: "I am ready at any time bo sign au order to resign;" but he insisted that a resignation worthy of the position he held in German history should bo written with care and deliber ation.

The words he uttered then, per haps as eloquent as his world-famed Gettysburg address, have been lost for three-quarters of a century In the pages of a country newspaper hidden away in the flies of the congressional library. They were brought to light yesterday, to be given to the world on the eve of another birthday of the first president, “This is the 110th anniversary of the birthday of Washingtoq," he said. "We are met to celebrate this day. Washington is the mighfest name on earth—long since mlghtest In the cause of civil liberty; still mightest In moral reformations. On that name j an eulogy is expected. It cannot be. i To add brightness to the sun or glory ‘ to the name of Washington is alike Impossible. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name and in its naked, deathless splendor leave It shining on." The text of this unknown example of Lincoln’s eloquence wan found in Washington by Luclen Hugh Alex ander, of Philadelphia, who gave it to 1 the Associated Press. An account of the ceremony at which Lincoln spoke was contained in the copy of “The Sangamon Journal," • published at Springfield on February 25, 1842. The tribute to Washington was the final paragraph of an address upon another subject and the address in full was published in the Journal of March 26. A complete file of the paper for that year was found by Mr. Alexander In the library bf congress. Mr. Alexander, a student of Lincoln, came upon the unknown address while on msioricai reseurcn worn, ne ue clared that in his Judgment it ia des tined in the years to come to be read or recited at virtually every celebra tion of Washington’s birthday the countjy over. “Hay and Nlcolet and also Ida Tar bell missed it," he said, “and so have all of Lincoln’s biographers so far as I can discover. Indeed I believe this is the only encomium extant by Lin coln upon the ’Father of Our Coun try,* and if so its Importance from a purely historical and sentimental standpoint cannot be overestimated. This really wonderful quotation will be sure to link their names together In a most unusual and beautiful way from now on every February 22.” JOHN WANAMAKER’S TRIBUNE. Briefly biographical for the high school boys and girls and our foreign * born young citizens. George Washington was born February 22, 1722. Ilia great-great-grandfather was John Washington who settled in Virginia about 1657. He had only a moderate educatiqn, somewhat defeCTive, except in mathe matics, and it is on record that he was mostly self-taught. At the age of 19 he was appointed adjutant of the Virginia troops, with the rank of major. In 1753, when barely 21 years old, he was made commander of the north erly district of Virginia at the out break of the French and Indian wars. He served with a “fiery energy that lay hidden beneath his calm and un ruffled exterior." In 1774 he was appointed one of seven delegates from Virginia to the Continental congress. After the Lexington ,and Concord battles he was elected cdmmander-ln chlef of the United Colonies. On July 2 he took command of the forces assembled against the British garrison at Boston, Muss. It is not easy to realize the poverty i of the American colonies, the lack of ^ food for the troops, the scarcity of : money to pay the soldiers for their families, the treachery, stupidity and selfishness and discouragement of ! those early days and the sufferings In i the cold winters and the bleeding j footsteps at Valley Forge. I But all these completed the training j of the soldiers of the revolution and made them great men, and in the best • sense made George Washington fore- ^ most of them all. Suffice It to say here that after the ’ Declaration of Independence he was elected the first president of thu United States on January 7, 1789, in augurated in New York, April 30, 1789, and at Philadelphia on March 4, 1793, and after two terms of office of four years each retired March 4, 1797, go ing to Mount Vernon, his plantation, where he lived ns a farmer and died on December 14, 1799, after one day's The nwmory of Washington and his heroic labors to establish and per petuate the United States and If* Stars and Stripes grows dearer to the world aH the years roll on.
