It seems a pity that about the only pray for a man to learn what kind of 1 woman he ought not to marry is to marry her. A woman can never understand why her husband pays out money for i new hat when it looks just like his Did one , anyway. An exchange says : "No woman ev- sr boasted of being born in a log cab- In. " No man does either until he gets ( nto a brown-stone front. Eve did her own housework , prob- ablj' because she wasn't afraid any of her neighbors would be ashamed to recognize her on account of it. * = * * " - cs - - pr- If Grover Cleveland lives long snough he will probably have a chance to decline to be the President of ev ery college in the United States.

There is not much difference be tween an epigram and an epitaph. An epigram says unkind and true things about the living ; the epltah says kind and untrue things about the dead.

When the appeal for help for the persecuted Jews in Klshenefwas made in New York the Chinese gave a ben efit performance in the Chinese thea ter , and raised nearly three hundred dollars. As Shakespeare might have said , one touch of abuse makes the ilien races kin. While Professor Smith is discussing the shortcomings of the scholarly di vine in "practical" preaching , he might throw In a "word or two , by way of balance , concerning the benefits to be derived by the typical "evangelistic" preacher from a slight application of scholarship. A seaman on board the Discovery , of the English Antarctic Expedition , says that for twelve months they had lived on seal all the time , except Sun days , when they had mutton. The problem of eating a quail a day for a month , usually -considered arduous , pales Into insignificance in the pres ence of the seal achievement No won der the sailor wrote , "I reckon if they turned the ship's company out In a field with plenty of grass there would uot be much left. " Inhabitants of Breathitt county , Kentucky , have about finished the work of demolishing the old Kentucky home of song and story. In its place there rises for the eyes of the world to look upon a home barricaded and de fended with deadly rifle , while hatred and bloody murder stalk about the " * * premises. This work of demolition began some years ago , but it remained for the people of Breathitt county to wreck the remains of the old home and to become architects of the new-styled habitation. Every few months one well-fed person or another becomes Inspired to live a day on eleven cents , or may be a week at that rate , for the educa tion of the poor in table economy. Seemingly those philanthropists * have never head of the famous Dr. Tanner , who lived forty days on sips of water , which cost nothing. Their shot at fame , measured by his standard , Is like a little boy's arrow-flight at the 1,000-yard butts of Creedmore. The IT. well-nourished idle are improved phys ically by a little starvation , yet it i doubtful whether they would stand 11 even the eleven-cent regimen for for ty days. But some of them , and som < t professors and chemists and experi menters , since the days of Edwar- Atkinson , have been demonstrating t the poor man that life can be lived for a day on next to nothing , just to show him that he is a most extrava gant person. The tendency of wages , wherever there is one workman more than there are places , is to the low est rate at which that man will con sent to work. That tendency is beaten back again and again by the unions , but It is ever present , and any low ering of the average standard of liv ing in any trade would give it a dan gerous impulse. The one wretch iu any calling who lives in miserly fash ion will save beyond his fellows who live rightly , ft is true ; but if his fare and fashion became adopted by all , down would go wages in spite of the unions , until , perhaps , it would be im possible even for this Daniel Dancer to add a penny to his pile. Luckily good health of body and mind makes the toiler demand the best meat and fresh vegetables , good clothes for himself and his family , and books and a mu sical instrument in the house. And while he's well fed and clothed and housed his work will be better and its product more. Vigorous and red- blooded , he will demand his share of this increase from time to time , and get it , and better still will be his feed ing , his raiment and his surroundings. Silly folk , important enemies of prog ress , are they.who would induce the workingman to forswear his constant cornetl beef and cabbage for the thin and pale phantom of aliment that osts but eleven cents a day ! The unusually heavy losses resulting from the forest fires In the Adirondack egion this year can hardly fail to re vive public interest iu the necessity for better forest control and a more gen eral education of the people in for estry" As a result of the drought which prevailed throughout April and May thousands o acres of the bes ; of the Adirondack reserves were burn ed and many summer homes and re sorts were FwepT away. While th ( esson was a very costly one , runniuj ip into the millions , the country doubt ess stood in need of it. History shows what is confirmed by science , that : arge area of forest land is essentia : o civilization. A treeless country means a barren cotmtry , and a barren ountry never attracts a progressive people. It is certain to be inhabited by the vagrant and non-producing classes. There must be forests and patches of woodland to retain mois ture , to prevent droughts and to create a soil for future agriculture. In Eu- r * tritsf - * J * * * S > - * * * . ; " rope of course , where the necessity feT forest preservation Is more univer sally recognized , an effort is made to keep the proportion of woodland at about one-fourth of the area of the country , which is regarded as the cor rect proportion to sustain the activities of civilization and the welfare of the people. Not only large forests , but scattered woodlands must be preserv ed. The hitter not only tend to check evaporation and hold bodies of mois ture for slow percolation Into springs , brooks and small rivers , to be fed slowly to the surrounding country , but they break the force of the wind , de creasing the probability of hurricanes and cyclones. The West has suffered much more than the East from forest fires , for the reason that the Western forests are made up largely of resinous woods. The West therefore should co operate with the East in bringing about more adequate systems of for est control. Forest fires will not wait for special sessions of State Legisla tures , The force of forest wardens in the timber States should be greatly increased. There should be State and Federal co-operation in the establish ment of forestry schools all over the country , such as exist in Austria , Eng land , France , Italy , China and Japan. This will cost the States a larger out lay for forest preservation , but it would be trifling compared to the mil lions that have recently been swept away in the Adirondack region. Starittlcs on Suicide. The first authoritative suicide statis tics for the whole country have been compiled by Prof. William B. Bailey , of Yale. The period covered is from 1S97 to 1901.

ENTERTAINING REMINISCENCES OF THE WAR. \3raphic Account of Stirring Scenes Witnessed on the Battlefield and in Camp Veterans of the Rebellion Re cite Experiences of Thrilling Nature. General Crook , when the Army of West Virginia knew him. said the D. ctoic " * not wear a long beard. lie wore a Kill beard , but it was short ind trim , and not at all like the long. i'ull beard he wore in the last twenty years of his life. He was a regular army officer , 'Ju years of age , when the war came in 1SG1. and took command it the Thirty-Sixth Ohio wi h the prestige of a man who had seen hard -.or vice and knew what h ? was about. "He certainly lived up to this rep utation. because no brjg.idt * or division Oi corps in the Union army was mure active than the one he happened to command. Officers and men , however , like him , as did people generally , including John T. Raymond , who tar ried a theatrical company to the bord- irs of the military district commanded by Crook. "I remember Crook with his short beard , but I remember him better with the long , full beard he wore in the 70s and 80s. I was with him at the battle of the Rosebud , June 17 , 1870 , ind remember on that day ho wore his beard in two braids , one hanging down on either side of his face like the braids of a girl's hair. This did not give him a grotesque appearance but contributed in some way to em phasize his unique individuality. It did not suggest femininity or eccentric ity , but rather a rugged sort of independence and a dignified aloftness that had marked influence over our officers and men. "He was the center of a notable group that day and was the coolest man on the field. His chief of staff , Major Nickersou , wore a long black bnard and was a more picturesque figure than Cook himself. While the battle was in progress , General Crook d < sired To send a personal message of vital importance to Major Royal of the Third cavalry , who , with one battalion of his regiment , was on one Hank enfilading the Indian line. Ma jor Nickerson carried the message and rode at a gallop along the Indian front , black horse and black-bearded rider making a picture that no one at Rosebud ever forgot. "Bullets from Indian rifles struck the ground in front raising a little dust like smoke from a puff ball , but on went rider and horse , we about General Crook breath fKe . holding our . . , r glt * " * - * * M - soldiers of the distant bat allen cheering him on. The message was delivered , and Royal knew what ho was to do when Major Lawton. com manding another battalion , and Major Anson Mills , commanding a third , proceeded to carry out their orders. "Mills swept toward the other flank , went up a ravine , and burst suddenly on the Indians , breaking their line. To strengthen Mills for this attack. Crook sent with him nearly all the cavalry on escort duty , and taking advantage of this , the Indians near pressed in between the General and the battalion operating under Mills. The latter , however , divined the purpose of the Indians , and sent one of his companies to cut off the raiders , and Crook himself , moved quickly up to the battalion in motion. The result was defeat for the Indians and a victory for the quiet soldier who wore his beard in I/raids , " "Some men , " said the Captain , "re member the incidents of battle and for get the anecdotes of their associates. Others remember the anecdotes and forget the battle Incidents , but Judge I. 8. Anderson of the Fifth Wisconsin remembers Incidents and anecdotes. Some of the stories , at our regimental reunions , are worth repeating. Speak ing of General Hancock , remind d him of Hugh O'NIel , of ready wit. Hugh was coming into camp with hav ersack and arms full , of sweet pota toes and garden vegetables , and. in sneaking past Hancock's headquarters , was confronted by Hancock himself. "The General asked Hugh where he jot the vegetables , and pressed the question ivi such away that Hutrh became rattled , and , In answer to the , peremptory 'Where did you get them. sir ? stammered : "I drawed tnem. ' rhereupon Hancock thundered : Don't answer me that way , sir. Fhere has not been a vegetable ration Issued to this command for a month. How did you draw them ? Hugh was limself again , and answered meekly : Why by their tops , General. " He was permitted to go his way. "This story was probably common property In the army of the otomac. > ut I had forgotten It and Anderson lad remembered It. Here Is another , pertaining to an adventure of Ander son himself. After the battle of Get- ysburg , in pursuit of Lee , troops were sent over South Mountain. A storm rame on and It was very dangerous narching in the darkness and among precipices and gulliea. Eate at night lie column was halted simply because t could not go forward , and the tired ] nea dropped down along the roadside infl under the trees , too tired , most ) f. teem , to take cognizance , of the leavy rain that was falling. "Anderson noticed a little distance in "rout a good-sized fire with a log be- ore It on whic i were seated two or hree figures with their rubber ponchos kver their heads and with their feet ' o the fire. He went toward the fire ind the men on the log sat like ics , the ra'in beating on the rubber' > lankets. Not one of them made a novement to indicate that he was , alive. Anderson asked if he migh make coffee at the fire , and one ol the m ° n , without turning his head said 'y s. ' I "Soon after , an artilleryman came u [ I to make coffee and he proceeded tc j make it without asking permission I He was in a state of mind over the difficulty his company had met with . in bringing forward the guns , and he j swore at all the officers from General , Meade down , for bringing men into such a place , and pronounced them all , thick-headed blunderers. In the midst of the tirade , one of the men on the lot ; threw back his > poncho , and General j Russell in command of the division . said , 'Orderly , take that fellow out j and tie him up by the thumbs until he cot 1.3 oft' . ' "The artilleryman was thunderstruck Anderson looked for the immediate arrest of the swearer. Just then the poncho of the other silent figure was thrown back , and General Sedgwick , commanding the corps , said , 'Oh , poofli. Russell , let the man alone. I don't know but what he is more , than half right , anyway. ' Ttlie artilleryman made his coffee , but he was very quite about it , and when he returned to his bat tery he explained that he had had a very interesting conference with the General commanding the corps , and the General commanding the division , and that the corps commander agreed with him as to the movement over the mountains. "At one of the reunions of the Fifth Wisconsin , T. C. Ryan of company G told a story to illustrate the character of the private soldier. On a night march just before the evacuation of Yorktown.the darkness was almost im penetrable , and the mud was , in places knee deep. The men splashed along the road covered with water. Stewart J. Fay was marching at the side of Ryan when the man in front of him stepped in a hole and fell down. Fay fell forward on top of him and tlhe man began to swear , calling Fay all sorts of names for his carelessness. Instead of gertlngfi angry , Fay replied , "You blamed hog , you don't want all of the hole yourself , do you ? " Chicago cage Inter Ocean. The First Bull Run Battle. The first great battle of the war , as every child knows , Avas most disas trous to the Union forces. For some time the news of so serious a reverse had the most depressing effect on the North , and it brought corresponding elation to the people of the South. But looking back at it from this dis tance , we can laugh at the many funny incidents ot which the famous battle was so prolific. A zouave , who had been in the Bull Run fight , was recognized some days afterwards near hte old haunts at tVashlFigtoh ' FarkeT New York. "What in thunder are you doing here ? " askrd an acquaintance who rec ognized the man "Have you got a furlough ? " "Naw. nary a furlough , " replied the zouave. "I got word to retreat in a big hurry at Bull Run. and , as no one didn't give me no order to halt , I've kep' on retreating , till I struck home ; and now I'm goln' to stay here till I get my wind back and my nerves set tled again , " and no doubt he kept his word. A pack of cards saved the life of a soldier of the First Connecticut at Bull Run. It stopped right In the center of the ace of hearts. The young man had a Bible in his knapsack , and on the hur ried retreat that , too , stopped a bul let. let.He He wrote to some of his friends at home who contemplated volunteer ing to be sure and lay in a supply of Bibles and cards , and to carry one over the he-art and the other beneath the shoulder blades. An Irish soldier who was severely wounded in the left breast at Bull Run. gave a reply to the doctor who was attending him , which In brevity , pathos and humor is unmatched. Doctor You're very badly hurt , my man. Irishman I feel as If I was , sorr. Doctor The wonder to me Is that that bullet did not strike your heart.

Judge of my surprise Avhen one t nornlng I found an Irishman trudging s nto camp with a nice fat duck hang- c ng on his gun.

DESERTIONS FROM THE NAVY. Number is Very Small anil lln De creased in Recent Years. "The percentage of desertions in our navy is not greater than 16 per cent It is not true that they are whole sale desertions from the United States navy. There are desertions , of course , but , judging by recent reports , the matter has been largely overdrawn and exaggerated. The actual percent age of desertions from the navy Is not as great now as it was in IdOl , 1S92 and 1893. Statistics show tlisit desertions were heaviest in those three years. It was never known why. " This is the statement of Surgeon Andrew M. Moore , United States navy , in the New Orleans Picayune. "The recruiting service , " continued Dr. Moore , "is now better systematiz ed , better conducted and with better results than it ever was before. About S7/j per cent of the recruits are American-born young meu , which is most satisfactory , because for many years a large percentage of the naval recruits were of foreign birth. The recruiting office in Chicago , which \ \ as established iu 1897 , has 110 trouble in securing all the recruits needed. Up to the la t Congress the navy required only 28,000 enlisted men and 7,500 ma rines. The last Congress increased the enlistment 3,000. Altogether , our navy at its full strength numbers 3S.- 500 enlisted men of the various grades , ( including marines. "Many good recruits come from the interior. They are usually procured by writing letters to postmasters for the names of young men the postmaster thinks would like to see naval service. When replies are received from these letters others of the same sort are mailed to the addresses furnished , and , in turn , other letters are sent out to these replies. "Not only are the lists kept con stantly full , but we are steadily rais ing the standard of enlistment. I think the percentage of desertion from the United States navy Is much great er than from foreign navies , whieli is probably due to the fact that in our sen-ice better opportunities are offered to ambitious young men. The enlist ed men of the navy see a great deal of the world , and. American young men , being quick to s-ej advantages , have greater temptations to desert than iu European navies , for in any of those he would have few places to go in which he could better himself. Our men are better fed and better cared for than in any foreign navy. We have not so large a navy. England Las probably 125,000 enlisted men , but we 'lo not need so great a navy.

Food Makes Them Good or B id. Saturate the lui'iiau body with s jofTee and it will in time show in the- complexion of the coffee drinker. This is caused by the action of coffee- on the liver , thus throwing part of the- bile into the blood. Coffee complexions- are sallow and muddy and will stay that way until coffee is given up entirely. The sure wny to recover rosy- cheeks _ and red lips is to quit coffee and drink ; Postum Food Coffee , which makes red hlood. "I had been for more than 20 * years an inveterate coffee drinker and it is absolutely true that I had so completely - pletely saturated myself with this drujf that my complexion toward the last be came perfectly yellow and every nerve and fiber in me was affected by the drugs in coffee. "For days at a time I had been com pelled to keep to my bed on account of hervous headache and stomach trouble and medicines did not give me any relief. , I had never consulted a physician in regard - f gard to my headaches and terrible complexion - * plexion and I only found oat the cause' of them after I commenced the use of' ' Postam , which became known to me ! ( through Grape-Nuts. We nil Hked the food Grape-Nuts , and it helped us , so we- thought Postum must certainly have merit and we concluded to try h. We found it so delicious that we continued * the use altogether , although I never ex pected it to help my health. "After a few mon-ths my headaches were all gone and my complexion had- cleared wonderfully , then I knew that my troubles had been caused by coffee and had been cured when I left off cof fee and drank Postum in its place.
