The Appeal

THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS RECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. DAILY GROG FOR OUR TROOPS VOL.17.NO.4. (By Capt. Charles E. Woodruff, assistant surgeon, United States army, Fort Riley, Kan.) N SPITE of the fact that alcohol in large amounts a dangerous stimulant and a slow poison, it cannot be successfully denied that in small amounts it is a food, for it has something of the chemical composition of starches, sugar and fat, producing heat and other forms of energy. The amount that can be oxidized in one day is very small, a mere ounce of it can be obtained from a generous slice of bread and butter, we are justified in sparing it as a food under adultery circumstances. The war now being waged against the enemy is a food, is a tempest in a teapot, of no practical utility. Man like all other animals must adhere to the foods he means to eat, in order to maintain his health. He was an intelligent, active and powerful being long ages before he knew of alcohol, and it is no more logical to suppose that he can safely eat it, or suppose that we can feed meats to horses. Discussions of alcohol use thus narrowed down to its use as a stimulant. Wherever man goes he finds a stimulant well and the stimulant which has survived the test of many centuries is caffeine. Some use it in coffee, others in tea or coffee, and its use is almost universal in civilization. Among the most common stimulants used in the use may be so excessive as to be harmful. Its moderate use seems to fill all the needs of existence of normal men in northern Europe, makes any other stimulant unnecessary. We are thus still further limited in our discussion, to the use of alcohol as a stimulant for abnormal men or for all cases in abnormal surroundings. The one class of stimulants that is used in such a fixture of the soundest medical practice that it is a waste of time to discuss it. It is a medicine that can be used in other stimulants, and in the hands of intelligent physicians saves so many lives that we cannot dispense with it. The very small number of physicians who are trained to use it in their argument that we can safely ingest in their hands. When life flags and needs a whip and a push we do exactly what an engineer does when he wants his engine to put out. We can easily burned fuel. Alcohol likewise furnishes energy for the human machine, just when it is most needed, for it is more easily舷ed than any other food, and, in most cases, no other stimulant can take its place. The next class consists of abnormal trapfem men in former ages invariably and civilization maturity. Modern science and civilization have made babies, develop them as adolescents, develop them alive as adults. Without help they are a prey to all disease producing bacillus and coccidia enemies. They fill our clinics, hospitals, our mallshouses and jails. Whether they are helped to survive and the race deteriorated is a foolish discussion for such creatures, but as our a rule and the species purifies itself, the number are men of extreme value to the world and to the world, men, for instance, with big brains, a tendency to consumption, preserved by a little alcohol judiciously, lived in the open air and that is a normal existence, for housing is fatal. City life is particularly dead and cities that consume the consumers of population," which comes in the form of this. "This unnatural, unwholesome existence is so bad and vitality is so reduced that artificial food and stimulants are needed and much sooner than in the country. This is a necessity of modern deadly city life. New soldiers do not belong to any of the above classes, for they are absolutely normal young men so carefully selected that they are not cants arelected. At home they lead a healthy outdoor country life. Under normal peace conditions, alcohol is no problem for them than it is for horses. Once upon a time they was given whisky every day, but that was a time every gentleman was expected to get drunk before bedtime. Nothing was more important than the issue of whisky to young men who did not need it led to drunkenness and ruined many a promising life. The practice was so vicious that when the whisky ration was abolished, and more food issued in it, it a grand thing was done for the The usefulness of alcohol for soldiers is then restricted to such times as they need it as a result of abnormal conditions. It is from overwork and insufficient food in the field. Though the commissary department furnishes every conceivable practicable article of food which human ingenuity can suggest, it is not everything which a man should have to keep him in health, and the law will not permit them to supply enough of the articles composing the soldier enough to eat, our ration being one of the least liberal in the world. In garrison we have means of getting additional supplies which the government demands. These means fail and if the soldier cannot buy extras he is hungry, underdied and exhausted, and instinctively turns to alcohol for support. If the exhaustion craving and shakes in drunkenness just as civilians do, for this condition, whether steady or periodical, is a symptom of exhaustion in nervous, unstable men, the soldier is unable to crave and shakes in drunkenness. In soldiers it is a result of exhausting work in the line of duty. Charitable forbearance to drunk vet civilians from overwork and insufficient food in the field. The virtue not expected of the Pharisees. The tremendous consumption of alcoon in our Civil war and the huge crop of drunken veterans, many of whom subsisted, were directly threatened to the death of overwork and starvation. Every civil nation in the world except ourselves combats this field exhaustion by issuing spirits at the proper times. They prevent the drunkards from drinking and the drunkards after the damage is done. The temperance agitation, which has been of such inestimable benefit in checking that frightful drinking habit of the drunkards, has been used as to swing the pendulum of public opinion too far in abolishing the wager thus useless daily dreg. it has also deprived the soldier of a much-needed supposition that whisky should be restored to the commissary stores for use in conditions of exhaustion. The surgeon is the only man in the army who can give government there is no reason for changing this custom; but I do think it very illogical to tell the surgeon, "You may stimulate men in hospital exhausted by the typhoid out of hospital exhausted by frititude and starvation." The 'last abnormal condition affecting the soldier is the heat of the tropics. It causes increased tissue change in the same manner as the hot baths of Arkansas or the cold baths of whose body chemistry is too tightly regulated. The first effect of the tropics then is increased mental activity and feeling of well-being, so that newcomers are generally delighted with the climate, are more comfortable and, even capable that the climate is perceptible with law, this excessive activity results in exhaustion, which shows itself in every conceivable way—muscle tension and mental exhaustion, lowering of the heart rate, rapid aging of men past their prime, feeders to disease and slow recoveries. The only logical conclusion is to treat such cases exactly as we do at home. Once upon a time doctors starved their exhausted patients and many that a great genius who started to be so proud of his discovery that he asked that these words be engraved on his tomb: "He fed fevers." Nowadays we resort to the same treatment for every case, where we find it, in the hospital, asylum, sanitarium or in the tropics—feeding. But food is not enough. We must stimulate them or the nourishment is too much for the feeble digestion; and the alcohol supplies energy just when it is essential for troops to whisky ration is an essential for troops to cookies, and though I would not issue it, I finally, yet it should always be on hand with the bacon and hard-tack, ready for use on the recommendation of the regimental surgeon. As a rule the maximum amount should not exceed four pounds, and the troops will need much less and some will need more. A naval surgeon has recently advocated a ration of whisky for men after they have had exhaustion work in the army and has recommended it as his recommendation is considered adequate no comment, but this same recommendation as to soldiers exhausted by the constant and therefore more terrible whisky is reasonable opposition. Is the exhausted soldier less worthy of being saved from illness than the sailor? Let the mothers answer the fantasies who would prefer the whisky or the skeletons by our ration in the tropics rather than help them with alcohol. The horrors of Montauk make no impressions on such warped minds. Regiment after regiment, the men so emaciated and enfeebled by the army ration in Santiago that they could not walk 100 yards without a halt for a rest, there a sensible man on earth to such enfeebled men stimuli to such enfeebled men? The nervous system of children is unstable and easily poisoned, so that stimulants are always harmful, but at what age they are most effective upon the race and climate. In southern climes they feed alcohol to children at an age fatal to those of the Northir and the tropics tea and coffee can be used before the poisoning may even reverse rules, for the opium habit so fatal to the nervous system of whites is beneficial to that of the peoples of Southeast Asia. It is probably the outdoor conditions north of Mason and Dixon's line, teas and coffee had better be withdrawn until nervous maturity—years of age, and alcohol until after years of age. In spite of these theoretical rules, there are no data from which we can prove that the moderate use of coffee and alcohol at twenty, produces any appeasement beyond the damage done by doxorubicin. THE APPEAL. PHILIPPINE BOER AMERICAN INDIAN excesses so certain to happen in young drinkers. It is more of an ethical than a scientific question. But boys will be boys in spite of all our efforts to make them act like old men. The boys, especially even to excess, and unless they are guarded they are gathered in by the rumseller. They will fly off the track when they first leave home, as many a college town could testify. In the army, they are always thinking of the dear old man "mother" at home. If we could secure a law that no rum shops should exist within ten miles of an army post, we would be very happy. Unfortunately, the boys follow the soldier, camp on his trail, and have a tremendous political influence. To toll them the "canteen" or "exchange" was started to see if, by giving the men pleasant reading, agreement and billiards on amusements and lunch counters, all on the plane, we would association buildings, we could not keep the "boy" from the sharks. To secure those who drank we were compelled to allow beer in a different part of the exchange, separated from the rest. The boys, especially beyond our highest expectations. The "exchange" has become an indispensible instrument for enhancing discipline, and its profits are partly used in the army. It is also used by the soldiers eat one-fifth more than the excess being thus purchased: The government, instead of being too liberal, is contemptibly mean, as it depends for its success on the sale of beer, profits taken out of the soldiers' pockets. Unfortunately, the rum dealers fight the canteen because it reduces drinking, and the temperature is lower than the normal drunkenness. We perfectly agree with the temperature folk that, as a matter of pure ethics the soldier should not have beer when he is under normal conditions and that it is good practice to allow a little and thus substitute a thyll for a great one. We have thus abolished many of the low, groggeries around some of the men in the army, and merely young men fresh from home. The greatest opposition to the canteen comes from people who do not know what it is, and many of them are not interested in it. Christ for making wine from water and A Stud denounced him as a winebibber. Statistics can prove anything, and although English life insurance companies show that moderate drinkers live the longest, total abstainers less, heavy drinkers still less and drunkards the shortest. we are justified in slightly modest drinkers less, the use of total abstainers contains many more men who cannot stand any alcohol and who abstain from self-preservation. Young moderate drinkers surely injure themselves by occasional laxes. we are then safe in classifying young, vigorous drinkers. We should expect the following order: Abstainers, moderate drinkers and heavy drinkers. We should expect that when we take these three classes to the tropics the first would stand the climate the best, the second being the most damaged beforehand, furnish the best collapse. This is said to be a fact, but that does not alter the other fact that they all need a little alcohol when they are exhausted.男 men accustomed to alcoholic drinks are far badly in the tropics if they abstain and thus upset a habit, bad though it be. We are safe in predicting that as the men on coming home find the cool air indescribably refreshing and stimulating, they will drink more in the tropics, and we will not have nearly the large percentage of *dun* there were among the veterans of the war. In the tropics a long, long time ago people were advised not to look upon the wine when it was red, and were told that no drunkard could enter the kingdom of wine. In the experience in the tropics, wrote this advice to Timothy: "Drink no longer wine, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and then infirmities. Thus correct ideas upon alcohol are probably as old as the knowledge of alcohol. Recent scientific knowledge has added little or nothing to the usual rules in use for two thousand years. **Scripture Explained.** Teacher (trying to inculcate a moral)—Nearby is it the lions would not touch Daniel?

THE NORTH POLE WOBBLES HBN one stops to think of it the search for the north pole is a difficult task imaginable. The question has been asked. How is a man HEN one stops to think of it the search for the north pole is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. The question has been asked. How can he know when he has reached the north pole? How is he to find his way back home? Is another. It would take a scientific man and considerable space to answer. The older proposition. Suppose an explorer actually makes his way to where the north pole ought to be, and when he gets there finds that it has moved. Yet this is precisely what science says will happen him. Then, too, the pole is no wagon tracker mysterious way. There are no wagon tracks in the scene it took; no trail to follow. And in order to catch up with it the man on the scene must know exactly where the pole was on such and such a date, and where he is on that particular day that he hopes to reach. In other words, the pole is not a fixed but a constantly varying point on the earth's surface. Prof. S. C. Chandler of New Haven, Conn., is the man to whom the credit is due for having demonstrated not only that he can observe a star during an all available observations Prof. Chandler, of the mathematical calculations the direction of the movement and the law by which it could be approximately predicted. For his won-works, all available observations medal by the Royal Astronomical society, Columbus university observatory is presented in an important observatory observatory completed May 1 this year. The work has been extending over six and one-half years. The observers are Professors Rees and Jacoby and Dr. H. S. Browne. The observatory scope used throughout this work was made by Wawnsca of Berlin for this special purpose. Up to the present time measurements have been made upon 6.518 pairs of stars, and the observed epoch to the computed time very closely. R. H. Tucker of the Lick observatory on Mount Hamilton has made a provisional determination of the amount of latitude change at the location of that object determining after a long series of a second latitude yearly. The International Geodetic association is undertaking a systematic study and accurate determination of the movements of the poles at six specially selected observatories on the earth's surface, parallel of north latitude around the world. Important results may be expected from their hearty co-operation in the investigation. The Doolittle of the Flower observatory at the University of Pennsylvania, as the result of his most careful research in this direction, concludes that at Philadelphia the movement of latitude amounts to at least forty feet an hour, due to the movement, however, says the Chicago Herald, is that it is varying in rate of movement, due to causes which have not been yet discovered. Furthermore, the moon may increase its speed at any time. The consequences of this discovery are far-reaching. The sea level is changing, and even the motion of the moon is affected and the displacement of the earth's axis and the coastline. The longitude and latitude of all points are fluctuating, and this method of fixing position on the earth's surface may have to be supervised or much modified. The motion of the pole and the shifting of latitude with the geodetic surveyors, raise legal complications and troverses over deeds and descriptions of land, and may upset state and national boundaries to some extent, and require many adjustments not now foreseen. The boundaries of the states of our Union are given by the laws the discovered vacillation of latitude will unsettle the exact boundaries and virtually alter their legally established positions. This will throw into confusion the state and state boundaries. A man living this state of Canada may find himself in the United States next year, or vice versa. Congress may be obliged to take action regarding the boundary between the United States and Canada, for assuming certain boundary elements to forty feet, a strip of land, or a narrow boundary of the United States between these two countries containing many thousands of acres may become disjointed in the boundary between British America and Alaska if affected. The exact boundaries will have to be determined and fixed by natural landmarks, as latitude and longitude are accurate methods of boundary definition. Determination of longitude will certainly be exceedingly awkward to make, inasmuch as the basis of the world's longitude, the meridian of Greenwich, is its position and the zero of its oscillating around the observer's Greenwich. England, which is by definition the zero longitude of the world. But the odd circumstance is that points on the surface may at times be east and at other times west of the town of Greenwich. Another difficulty which has arisen is that astronomers must revise their tables as the inaccuracies that discovered perpetrally affect the moon's nebulae and constellations. Further, the variations of the axis of the earth's rotation unquestionably affect the moon's motion, introducing irregularities in the orbit, lost sight of in accurate determination. Another consequence is the change in the sea level due to the same causes as the polar instability. Following an in-depth investigation of Prof. Newcomb of Washington University, the authors found that in the height of the mean sea level due to these causes, Dr. A. S. Christie of the tidal division of the coast survey exerted the records of this department for thirty-four years. The change in the mean sea level was discovered such as would be expected if the variations of latitude actually took place. Notwithstanding the natural distrust of the seas, the observations many between tidal and astronomical observations can hardly be due to chance. This change in sea level affects the entire coast line of the world, and while amount of finches in a decade, is still sufficient to account for accurate computations. As to the cause of the motions of the earth's axis, the aberration of the poles, and consequent variation in latitude, the discussion is now open and will certainly $2.40 PER YEAR. avoided much controversy in the near future. Scientific men are already busy proposing theories. Dr. N. Herz suggests that the moon will provide an ideal explanation, involving the opacity to the electrical rays from the moon. Certain perturbations, others say, are also caused by the varying attraction of the moon, due to the earth's uneven rotation. Rainfall and spring freshness from melting ice may impair the effect, while Prof. Newcomb of Washington calls attention to the discovered changes in sea level mentioned above as a coincident phenomenon. Periodic high tides, ocean currents, and the movement of the moon may make the important parts in explaining the movement. Another and very interesting theory comes from Prof. Vito Voltero, the famous Italian mathematician, who is able to account for the observed motions in the moon's important currents in the molten interior of the earth. Special attention has been drawn to the still more positive factor in the phenomenon, namely, the unequal distribution of land in the northern hemisphere, as its uneven massing around the earth from Perhaps the most valid test of his conclusions was his willingness to rect his theory upon the accuracy of his prediction of the movement of the pole through the water. He found it to be remarkable, and in spite of the slight discrepancies not yet accounted for, the observations confirm the predictions so remarkably as to "cut the ground from under the feet of those who were swimming in the water" as tautness as empirical or not proved." The evidence for its existence and for the general truth of the law formulated by Prof. Chander is already overwhelming. The International Geodetic association has prepared an elaborate scheme for the systematic observation of these variations of latitude. The same general form of observation has been used in the observatories, and the best of his experience. Although three stations could have determined the polar motion with considerable accuracy, yet for the sake of greater precision six stations have been used in the investigation. The following are the official observations co-experiencing in the investigation: 1. Torre de San Vittorio, Carloforte, in the island San Vittorio, near the coast of Sicily. 2. A place nine kilometers north of Charjul, on the Amu Daria. 3. The observatory at Mizusawa, in the valley of Kitakami, Japan. 4. The observatory established especially for this work at Ukiah, Cal. 5. The observatory of the observatory of the University of Cincinnati. 6. At Gattsburg, Md., a station on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, about thirty miles northwest of Washington. 7. The work of observation has been inaugurated in the city, received at Potsdam from Carloforte, Charuji and Cincinnati. It is intended that the observations shall extend through a period of five years. Deduce that the observations will be made at the Potsdam observatory.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1901. The latest solution of the so-called "Negro Problem" has been offered by the Chinese Minister Wu, who says "unrestricted radical intermarriage" will settle it. Wu is nearer right than any of the solution proposers we have heard from. All the suggestions which are offered for the solution of the "vexed problem" are decidedly unfair, one-sided, and, of course, are worthless. It remains for a "heathen Chinée" to figure the way out of the trouble. Wu has, it seems, also paid some attention to the great American pastime of lynching as well as other things. Speaking of the burning at the stake of Alexander in Kansas, he said: "What do I think of lynching? Well, that is strictly an American institution. China has been accused of many barbarities, but lynching is not one JUSTICE THE LATE QUEEN VICTORIA of them. Burning that poor fellow at the stake—Ugh, the very idea makes me shudder. And he died protesting his innocence. Guilty men do not do that. But I don't understand it at all. You brought the black man here against his will. You made him free, or the great Lincoln did. "Then you declared him equal to the white man, but you denied him equality. He cannot hold office, that is, you seldom elect him to one. He cannot serve upon a jury, though he has the right, and he is still a slave socially. The difficulty seems to me to be that you regard him as a savage and treat him as such. He feels himself an outlaw and acts accordingly. Now, why not assimilate him benevolently, that is, really and truly benevolently. There is only one way to do this, and that is to make him a white not only in color, but in nature. "I have not given the subject extensive study, but I would say encourage the black man to marry white women and urge black women to marry white men. You now forbid this by law in many states, yet if it were done in a few generations the blacks as such would be extinct. Instead you would have white men, white in skin and with white men's natures." Of course the crime for which Alexander suffered is unknown in China. It is a crime that stirs men's blood. But the American officers, those sheriffs you call them, seem to help these mobs instead of protecting their prisoners. The law permits them to kill the mob, but they let the mob kill their prisoner whom they have sworn to protect. In China an officer who did that would forfeit his life. He would kill himself rather than suffer the disgrace. But in China mobs never form. Prisoners are not guaranteed a trial, but they always get it. Then if they are guilty they suffer. Nations that permit lynching cannot call themselves Christian nations. This habit, and it is a habit here, is a blot upon the nation's good name. "It's true the blacks are impudent. I see that in Washington. They are increasing faster than the whites and are beginning to feel their power. You must face the problem sooner or later and the sooner you face it the better for you and for the blacks, and I believe you will find the only solution of the problem is to assimilate the blacks by intermarriage." This assimilation has been going on for two centuries, mostly in an illegal or clandestine way, until a real black person is seldom seen, except in the M. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER thickly settled black belt of the South. Remove the legal and social barriers which now exist and allow each man and woman to choose his or her own marital consort as love directs and it would be surprising how many would take advantage of the situation. There really is not as much prejudice solely on account of color as there appears to be. There are very few whites who, within themselves, are so bitterly opposed to the blacks, but they fear what the other whites will think of their actions. If of one blood God made all the peoples of the world, it is not right that one set of people should get the idea into their heads that they are any better than any other set. It is not right that one set should object to any other set enjoying like rights, privileges, pleasures, etc., that they themselves enjoy.

The whites, while claiming all the virtues of the category, seem to be very much afraid of their Afro-American brothers and sisters. They try every way in the world, but the right way, when dealing with them. They claim that the Afro-Americans are ignorant, yet do everything they can to keep them so. They send hundreds of missionaries to China, Japan, Africa and the islands to educate and Christianize those people who do not want them to do so, but throw every sort of obstacle in the way of educating and Christianizing the Afro-Americans at home, who wish to be educated and Christianized. Even now the Tennessee legislature is wrestling with the educational phase of the vexed problem and a bill has passed the senate to prohibit the co-education of the races. A bill also has been introduced in the upper house to prohibit the employment of white teachers, in Afro-American colleges and universities. Distinctions are oidious and we want none of them in any direction whatever. Wherever there is a distinction there is a difference. Wherever there are separate schools there is a difference in the school houses, the quality of the teachers, the rules and regulations, etc. There need not be any fear on the part of the whites, just let them shut their eyes and let there be a survival of the fittest, we will live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish, if we only get a fair, square chance. Rev. John G. Fee, the noted founder of Berea (Ky.) college, died on the 11th inst. His college was in the heart of Kentucky and was the offshoot from Oberiln' (Ohio) college. The co-education of sexes and races was a principle of this institution and it has lived and prospered despite the opposition to it by prejudiced whites who tried to destroy it by fire more than once. The number of students matriculated at the opening of the last term was 720, of which 350 were Afro-Americans. What we need are a few more such men as Fee.

Prof. Chandler said: "It should first be said that in the beginning of this investigation I deliberately put aside all teachings of theory, because it seemed to me high time that the facts should be examined by a purely inductive process." The accuracy of his results are being confirmed by the work of various observations.

Furnished by a Hotelkeeper to Weary Shopper Every Afternoon. Berlin Letter in London Telegraph: One of the large hotels in Berlin, writes a correspondent, has just started serving afternoon tea between 4 and 6 o'clock in the afternoons. This will, undoubtedly, be much appreciated by those who have been shopping all day and who are a long way from home. It is extraordinary that such an idea has never before struck the enterprising hotel keepers and cafe proprietors in this new capital. In every street there are countless cages and hotels and so-called conditioner, or pastry cook shops, but the one thing English people delight in—namely a cup of good tea with bread and butter it is almost impossible to obtain. Tea is served, but instead of being in cups it is brought to the thirsty customer in a glass a la russe, generally with a slice of lemon and hot milk. Bread and butter are an almost unknown quantity, the solid refreshment affected by Germans conditioning generally of diverse kinds and shapes of pastry, round little cakelike shells filled with cream/ and biscuits covered with chocolate. Cocoa and chocolate are also very popular among German ladies, and they order for afternoon tea a glass of Munich or pilsner beer. English "afternoon tea," however, is hardly ever procurable, except, of course, in private houses. In them English customs are imitated to a very large extent—in fact, to be fashionable the household should be arranged, as far as furniture, meals and dress are concerned, entirely a la mode Anglais. One of the most curious non-English customs prevailing here is the use of the word "Mahzeit," literally translated "Mealtime." This expression is always used after dinner. Every one on rising says "mahzeit," and shakes hands with every one else. The original meaning of the word was, "I wish you a blessed meal." That was finally shortened to "blessed meal," and finally the one word alone was uttered as a sign of politeness. It is curious to note the way in which the expression is used by the uneducated classes. With them one hears it all the day through, especially, however, before and after lunch.

On January 15 he met in Kansas by his brother in company and he home of his parents in Paris, Teenn. where he arrived January 17. He at once began to sink, and died on January 21.

YOUTHEFUL EXPLORER Marle Peary Who Was Born in the Far North On the Pearie arctic relief steamer Windward, Mrs. Peery, wife of Lieut. Peery, the arctic explorer, with her little daughter, Marle, sailed to the far north a few months ago in search of her husband, who has not been heard from in some time. She expectantly him in Eatah, in north Greenland. The land is only seven years old, but her life has been full of unusual experiences. In the first place she was born in latitude 77 degrees 40 minutes north—many hundred miles nearer the pole than many of us would care to venture—at Anniversary Lodge, where her daring father and mother spent the winter of 1893. In the second place she was four years old of the closing arctic day before the winter, which is six months long, settled down with its darkness. Accordingly, for the first six months of her career she lived in candlelight. The native Eskimos of that region had never seen a white baby, and Marle was a source of wonder to them, as well as a comfort and a cheer to her parents in their lonely home. The husband the family will spend the most of the winter at Eatah. Their home will be the queerstick kind of building imaginable. The Erie railway company has donated to Lieut. Peery a caboose such as are used on freight trains. This will be taken by the salp to Eatah and fitted up as a house for the Peery family. During the days of the coming winter, some of our friends looked out over the frozen ice fields through the windows of the red caboose, and be thankful for our spacious and well warm houses. Apples for Your Brain If you want brains eat the right sort of food. There is the rub! What is the right sort of food? As score or more of things have been recommended by just as many more or less eminent authorities, yet there is not any startling evidences of great brain growth above the normal. After special recommendations of all sorts of fish, flesh and fowl—particularly the now comes sage medical advice to enlarge and plenty of them, not only for brain, but for the sake of the well being of the entire system. It is argued that the system is crying for phosphorus, and that apples fill the want, to the quieting of the nerves and feeding of the brain. Then, to its credit, it is said that a good, ripe, raw apple is completely digested in eighty-five minutes. This is a saving of power that favors longevity—New York Herald.

In festa-loving Mexico Christmas is celebrated for two weeks, beginning with the 17th of December and not ending until New Year's day. The principal features of the celebration are the "posadas" and "pinatas," both very quiet and picturesque customs, and entirely peculiar to Mexico. "Posada" in Spanish means "abiding place" or "inn," and in Mexico is applied to the nightly semi-religious and entirely jolly performances which, in the houses of all Mexicans, last from the 17th to the 25th of December. At an early hour—on account of the clamoring children—the signal is given for the pinata-breaking, and all the guests flock gaily about the bobbing clown, with the servants and small babies congregated in the back ground. When the assembly is complete, says Modern Culture, all join hands and circle about the big glittering toy, as it swings from its hook in the ceiling, one of the children is blindfolded and placed in the center of the ring, just under the pinata, a long, light pole is handed to her, and she is told to strike carefully and with much force in the direction of the pinata. Good nature demands that all of the children first have an opportunity to break the pinata; as they naturally are never able to do so, the clown being a tough-fibered individual, the turn of the "grown-ups" next comes. One by one, they are blindfolded, turned about three times and then admonished to "Strike out!" Amid applause from the elders and wild yells from the children the pinata is located and struck at viciously, when—hey presto! the poor clown's gay bloomers and red and gold waistcoat are rent from top to bottom; his big sombrero is sent flying across the room and down upon devoted heads comes a deafening rain of oranges, nuts, small candies of all sorts of small, unbreakable presents and all conceivable kind of dulces and good things to eat. THE MALE FLY. As Compared with the Female He Is Deficient. "Whoever thinks the male the superior animal finds no rest for the sole of his foot in the contemplation of what we, in the sublimity of our self-conceit, call 'the lower animals,'" says a writer in Ainsley's Magazine. "In our general ignorance of the housefly we do not know just how foolish and no-account the male is, but we may reasonably infer that he is as markedly deficient as usual, seeing that his eyes are so close together that they touch each other. That's always a bad sign. If you see anybody with eyes close-toother you are entitled to think little of his intelligence. The fly has two sorts of eyes, the big compound one, 4,000 in a bunch on each side of the head, for knocking about in daylight, and three simple eyes on the top of the head for use in a poor light, sewing and fine print. Before going into ectasies of admiration over the creature that has 4,000 eyes on each side of its head it might be well to remember that they are not of much account. In case of old flies kep over winter the compound eyes cave in and get broken, yet the fly seems to get along and find food. One kind gentleman varnished over the simple eyes and plucked off the wings of some flies. He found that he might hold a candle close enough to burn the compound eyes of the fly before it had a suspicion that anything out of the common was going on. In daylight he took a knitting needle and brought it up in front of the fly close enough to touch its antennae before it dodged. If the knitting needle was brought up on one side Mr. Fly picked up his sticking plaster feet quite lively." Lost His Arm to Save a Cow Lost His Arm to Save a Cow. Shamokin (Penn.) Special to New York World: In attempting to remove an apple which had lodged in the throat of a valuable cow, Marcus Fetter, a farmer residing in Mahantong Valley, had his right arm so fearfully mangleled that it had to be amputated. The cow stood passively as he reached into its mouth to take out the apple, which almost choked the bovine to death, but when he endeavored to take his arm out the cow snapped her jaws and imbedded her teeth in his arm. After a fierce battering of the cow's snout the frightened animal relaxed her jaws, releasing the bleeding and mutilated arm. Fetter tied a rope above the main artery to prevent himself—from bleeding to death, after which he hastened to a physician. 14 STORES IN EUROPE Liked to From Carriage Waiting Likes to Keep Carriage Writing. Bishop Brooks of Boston and a friend were one day coming out of a church where John L. Farge, the noted artist, was decorating a great window. The friend walked toward a handsome coupe that was standing in the rain and said: "I suppose this is your carriage, bishop?" "Dear me, no," said the bishop, "I always walk. That's a livery carriage waiting for La Farge." "But La Farge," said the friend, "has been working in the church all day, and will continue to work until night." "I know," said the bishop, his whimsical smile drawing the corner of his mouth, "but La Farge can never work very well unless he knows he's keeping a carriage waiting for him somewhere." As a rule man spolls his recreations by letting his mind run on how much they are coating him. Man says he doesn't understand woman in order to escape what might be expected of him if he did. The art of conversation consists in not saying anything when the other participant wants to do the talking.

FORMERLY THE NEW ENGLAND 129-131 E SEVENTH ST. Some Things Our Native Birds Do for Man It has been proved by the work of the Audubon society and by the researches of Mr. E. H. Forbush, ornithologist of the Massachusetts state board of agriculture, that, much as we humans claim to love the trees and the forests, the birds love them even more and are in a position to do more good their preservation than are we. Take, for instance, the fact that the stomach of one yellow-billed cuckoo shot at 6 o'clock in the mornning contained the partially digested remains of forty-three tent caterpillars, and see if you have in your acquaintance a person who would be likely to have destroyed so many pests by that hour in the morning. Then take into consideration, says the Boston Transcript, the fact revealed by Mr. Forbush that there are forty-six of our native birds that feed from preference on the gypsy moth and it is easy to compute the good work these birds will do if given a chance—and it's not costing the commonwealth so much by a good round sum to protect them as did the great sham battle the gypsy moth commission up put against that nuisance. Most of our gypsy moth diet are also partial to the brown-tail moth caterpillar, the cankers worm and all the rest of the cankers worm and all the rest of the trees and forests. It is the acknowledgment, of course, by the most ardent advocates of bird protection, that blue-jays prey on the nests of other birds; that the grosbeaks and the birds of many of the birds eat fruit and the buds of trees, and that woodpeckers do some damage to the trunks of the trees. Yet all these sins charged up to their discredit are as naught when weighed in the balance with their beneficent ministrations. It is urged that nesting boxes and boxes also which may be used for winter quarters, placed about in the woods and on the edge of the woods, will do a great deal to prevent harm coming to them from cats or from exposure to extreme cold weather. Then, this much accomplished, it would be a simple matter and not an expensive one for a community to undertake to supply them with grain or food of some sort when the snow covers the ground and the twigs. Other foes of the birds—the gunners and the mischievous boys—must also be dealt with by, say, one part of moral suasion to nine of rigid legislation, and a long life and a useful one may be assured the birds. CREMATION IN JAPAN. Reasons Why Practices Is Followed in Mitkado's Land. Japan is the country in which cremation is practiced on the largest scale. In an interesting statement made to a hygienic congress, Mr. Yamane, chief police surgeon of Tokyo, gave the reasons for this practice. The burning or corpses had its beginning in Buddhism, a Buddhist priest, it is said, having been cremated at Shinshu 1,200 years ago. One thousand eight hundred and seventy-six police orders were issued regulating the practice of cremation, and today in the environs of Tokyo alone there are seven crematories. According to the authority quoted, cremation is accomplished in less time in Japan than in other countries. In two or three hours the body is completely reduced to cinders, and that without the slightest odor. Whereas, in European countries, there are seven or eight classes of funerals, there are in Japan but five; the prices of which range as follows: $5.40, $3.80, $2.80, $1.60 and 80 cents. At Kioto and Osaka, as well as in a number of other towns, it is estimated that two-thirds of those who die from infectious diseases are cremated, and of others, two-fifths. In 1888 out of 38,899 dead, 21,943 were buried, and 17,956 or 45 per cent cremated. LITERARY NOTES. The History of Colonization," by Henry C. Morris of Chicago, formerly United States consul at Ghent, is to make its appearance almost immediately. The approach of the centenary of the birth of Hans Christian Anderson is to be celebrated by the simultaneous issue in several countries of a sumptuous edition of his fairy tales. The December issue of the Smart Set presents the usual variety of attractions in the way of verse and prose. The leading story, "Her Guard of Honor," is by Miriam Michelson. An announcement of interest is that Dr. Edward Eggleston will publish soon "The Transit of Civilization from England to America in the Seventeenth Century," a historical work which represents a new undertaking in the writing of American history. The book pictures the literary, scientific and other influences which were brought to this country from Europe in the early years of our history. "Wayside, the home of the Hawthornes in Concord, was a comfortable little house on a shady, grassy road. To please his wife he had built an addition to it, a tower into which he could climb, locking out the world below and underneath, a little parlor, in whose dainty, new furnishings Mrs. Hawthorne took a womanish delight. Yet somehow gay Brussels rugs and glided frames were not the background for the morbid, silent recluse. Justin McCarthy in a recent article has been recounting some of the witty or apt sayings he has heard. One of them is James McNeill Whistler's reply to a distinguished but ill-favored novelist whose portrait he had painted: "When the portrait was finished the sitter did not seem satisfied with it. 'You don't seem to like it,' Whistler said. The sitter confessed that he did not, and said, in self-justification, 'You must admit that it is a bad work of art.' Yes, Whistler replied; 'but I think you must admit that you are a bad work of nature.' It is,reported, that the Mexican government contemplates an award of $100,000 to Dr. Angel Bellinzaghi for his serum against yellow fever, which is said to have been successful in 5 out of the cases in Mexican hospitals. 4 MINNESOTA, A.
