From the New Haven Journal-Cour ier.' Perhaps King Edward feels more like a young frisky colt himself at having his own Minora win the classic derby race. Probably, too, the Eng lish people would not have preferred any other contesting owner to win. From the Buffalo Express. England is prouder of its king who. won the derby than if he had fought a winning war. From the Syracuse Post-Standard. It is a strange thing about the British people, and yet. perhaps, no so very strange, that they like King Edward best when he has just won a horse race. From '.' the Charleston News and Courier.

Science and the General Health The medical profession has made great strides In the exact knowledge of the cause and consequent prevention of disease. This is so. Today, thanks to the efforts of Investigators the most diseases which .play the most havoc with the vital statistics have been traced to a particular germ and the methods of prevention and treatment are well established and successful. . And yet, you will agree that people still get sick, as they have done since the beginning of time. The hardy still survive and the weaklings in most cases succomb. ; What is the reason that the greatest scientific discoveries of the bacteriologists are not bearing more fruit in the raising of the standard of general health?" They aro doing great work with those patients who have contracted disease but there are just about as many, cases of avoidable disease as there ever were. The reason is not complimentary to the human race and particularly the Inhabitants of the United States of America. The reason is that the people will not take simple precautions. We are all great gamblers in this country, and for the most part careless of what may come. The simpler the precaution the harder it is to get the people to take it. Tuberculosis is the greatest scourge of the ages and of previous ages. Yet, the prevention and the remedy is so simple that we cast it aside. Fresh air, all day long and all night long, will, with regular habits and cleanliness, go far toward reducing the disease. It is not that the case aftter it has progressed does not offer difficulties to the physician nor that there are not other parts of the treatment. But it simply mean that people will not see to it that their lungs get pure air and enough of it. Perhaps the most striking illustration of the avoidable tuberculosis is the .tuberculosis on the farm. One would think that the farm would be the place where tuberculosis would have no hold. But there are plenty of farmers and their families who sleep with closed doors and windows three-fourths of the year there are plenty of farmers daughters who stay indoors most of the time. There is in almost every house in the country a great prejudice against fresh air and sunshine in the house there is a fear that they will fade the wall paper or carpet In some room in the house. And this is as true of the town as it is of the country. Thanks to a crusade of education there Is no doubt that conditions are steadily improving, but the increase in sanitary conditions on the farm and in the city is not in proportion to the apparent intelligence of the population. And yet . sunshine and fresh air are the most health-giving agents in human existence. And what is true, of tuberculosis is true of typhoid. Everyone knows that there is a risk of typhoid fever in drinking unboiled water and milk. Yet we take the risk When the sanitary officer traces a case of typhoid fever and finds the grossest negligence in the handling and the source of the milk and water supply, the men who are in the business feel very much abused, although they are practically a party to murder. This is especially so in the feeding of raw cow's milk to young children. Speaking of children, how many are there who have something the matter with their eyesight due to the lack of a little precaution when they are very young? How many men and women think of the danger of breaking a quarantine when they themselves are quarantined? How many people, landlords, and even people that own their own houses, will go to the necessary expense of completely repapering, repainting and revarnishing when it is a well known fact that that is practically the only way that one can be certain that the germs are put where they can do no harm after a case of any infectious or contagious disease? The methods of socalled fumigation are in many cases not more than a formal exorcising of the germs. Theoretically the processes may be perfect in practice they are far from it. Yet, we take the risk and we expose other people to a like risk. Now that the various pure food laws are passed, all over the country how many people ever look at the labels to see if they are getting pure food or something else. Or even in so simple amatter as having fly screens in the summer time and being careful as to whether the flies which come straight from filthy places alight on food which is to be eaten people are not much concerned. Yet, the foot of the fly the common house fly, carries germs of all kinds which are directly responsible for much of the disease of the summer time. The housewife will spend hours exterminating the buffalo moth; yet she accepts the fly as a necessary evil. The regard of cleanliness is the thing above all others, that health depends on. That is all that your scientists have found out. But they will tell you how to be clean. Be clean! It is not simply a matter of the stomach: it is not a matter of the lungs; it is not a matter of the skin. But it is all this. Pure air pure water pure food pure habits in other words, real cleanliness that is the foundation for real health. And the body is like the house in which we live it is not the externals which count it is the; dirt in the corner the unseen dirt which causes the trouble. With clean bodies and clean minds this. world would be very much freer of sickness of body and soul. That is the message of modern science. The scientist may spend years of labor in his laboratory finding out a very simple truth. But what does it avail if "the people will not pay attention if they keep on taking the gambling chance? What does all the knowledge amount to if they do not instruct their children in the most rudimentary things or teach them and then deliberately disregard the teachings before the children's eyes? It is this phase the phase that really causes all our trouble, which " is the criminal part of the negligence. Most of us know that certain things will ultimately bring trouble. We simply disregard them. That is the point. People are taking an interest in these things because gradually the world Is striving toward a life of the least trouble of all sorts we are gradually learning the laws of nature and know that they are unchangeable they are the only things in this world of which it can be said. , , "As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be."

only known powers that can keep Emma from talking. From the Rochester Post-Express. If there is any way in which the United States acting lawfully can get rid of Emma Goldman it ought to do so. We believe there is a statute under which she can be deported as an alien. She is a constant disturber of the public peace and her doctrines, inculcated at times amid the drawn clubs of the police, are revolutionary and dangerous. Why should there be any hesitation to act in the case of this archanarchist? ' ' From the Providence Evening Tribune. Unless Emma Goldman is improvident she should also soon be able to retire to a ranch. From the Jacksonville Times-Union. Score one for the New York police they stopped Emma Goldman from speaking. And that's a man's job, too. From the Buffalo Commercial. It is a debatable question whether there is not more fuss being made over Emma Goldman than she is worth. Possibly were she :. allowed to express herself as freely as she pleases those who go to hear her would soon get tired of it. From the Scranton Tribune. The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle speaks of Emma Goldman as "Rochester's celebrated anarchist' If Rochester wants to ' appropriate Em as one of its prominent citizens the claim will never be disputed. - The Trouble With Golf. Queen Victoria once induced Count Sbuvalov, the Russian ambassador,, to try a game of golf at Balmoral The Russian did try, bat after innumerable misses he turned round to one of the bystander and said: " "Ach. monsieur, It would be a very nice game If the bait was ten times larger. .Now let us go home." Bat what be said in Russian to himself Is not recorded.

IN A BATH Baltimore, Md., June 1. Jacob "Ginger" Nevins of Cleveland, Ohio, known to every horseman connected with the trotting circuits in the United States was found drowned in a Turkish bath here last night. Nevins for years has been known as a pool seller on the smaller circuits through Western Pennsylvania and the Middle West, and for the last three seasons had been selling pools at the big races on the grand circuit. After the races Nevins went directly to the bath house, where he jumped into the plunge. A few minutes later an attendant pulled his dead body from the water. ',;-i; :'. It is thought that he was seized with cramps. Nevins was about S3 years old. His brothers, Samuel P. Kevins, of Cleveland, has been the official programmer of the grand circuit for years. .. ... How Masks Are Mad. Paper masks are made by doubling one sheet of a specially prepared paper, wetting it and molding it by hand over a face form. It Is then dried by artificial beat Openings are cut for eyes, nose and mouth, and It Is painted and decorated by hand as desired. Wire masks are made by stamping a piece of wire netting about a foot square over a face mold to a large machine. Inclosing the rough wire edges to a narrow strip of lead. Then it Is painted. The painting is done by hand to oil colors. Exchange. Galvanized iron is not galvanized at an. but is coated with zinc by being plunged into a bath of that metal and muriatic add.

Copy.isht. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye 'I TEX SAPPY SMILE. "Well, what do yon think of a street car company that will give Its patrons three rides and two walks all for a nickel r He was the kind who carries sunshine wherever be goes, and he beamed amiably from under his umbrella at a crowd of disgruntled passengers waiting In the rain. The company was fixing the track, and the passengers had changed cars twice and were waiting for one of the forlorn little -dinkies" that was to make the last lap of the journey Into the city. , "Here comes the limited!" shouted the man with the happy smile as the little one truck car came bumping in. "Get your Pullman sections reserved. Everybody smiled. : . Only one disgusted woman, whose bat was being ruined by the rain, snapped out. "Ain't, some people 'the born fools?" But the passengers looked at the Jolly man, whose very presence radiated geniality, and were comforted , You know him the man with the happy smile. Everybody knows him. As he comes swinging down the street there is a nimbus of sunshine about him. He distributes sunbeams. And behind him he leaves a trail of brightness. The man with a happy smile is a magician. People get a glimpse at his hearty. Jolly face and merry, boyish smile, and the muscles of their faces Instantly relax. Before they know it they are smiling his smile after him. And the ripples of gladness go out from him as do the ripples of a pond when a stone Is dropped into Its sluggish wa ters. The man with the happy smile may have bis troubles. He has them. But he has learned to keep them to himself, so as not to make others un happy. He just crowds his griefs into the back part of his head, where they can't do much damage, and puts on a smiling front. On his face is written, as if It were on a signboard, where all can see, the message "Cheer up!" And that beautiful smile of his, starting somewhere down in his diaphragm, works Itself upward to his chin and to the wrinkles about his mouth and then upward to the wrinkles about his eyes. And when be looks at you with the corners of his mouth pulled back and the dancing twinkle In his eye Lo, the man with the happy smile has chased away your grouch! OPPORTUNITY. ' ' Is America still the land of Opportunity? Freddie Gels of Des Moines, aged seventeen, capitalist and promoter, says it is. He started eight years ago selling newspapers and has just bought a home for his people, paying therefor $3,000 in cash. Freddie's father deserted his family, leaving a sick wife, an old grandmother and two children to the cold mercies of the world. That was why Freddie started out at 5 o'clock that first cold morning, eight years ago. to sell newspapers, his cash capital consisting of 4 cents. It is rather hard on a young lad to be hustled out of bod at that hour winter and summer. For a long time Freddie's stock in trade was contained in a canvas bag. After awhile be pre-empted a street corner. He had to fight to "bold down bis claim," of course. It was a question of the survival of the fittest. Freddie is Irish and won out Now he has a regular stand with newspapers from all over the country, besides the magazines. Young Geis is enterprising, and along with bis persistence he employs tact and politeness. He is always alert to catch the attention of his customers and knows by name thousands of people. When he cries "Paper, lady?" his hand invariably goes to his cap. One of the big forces behind Freddie is the stanch old Irish grandmother. The mother is not strong, but the grandmother is a forceful character. The young roan loves his mother, but he banks on the grandmother, and they do some great team work. It Is said when the deed to the home was turned over to the little family the real estate agent carried away $3,000 in copper and silver coins a whole satchel full of savings. Grandma has some doubts about banks. Opportunity? Why, Freddie Geis saw her standing on the streets, peering around the corners, actually flirting with him and waiting to be caught rAnd when be got hold of her it was the half nelson. . This little Irish lad. a captain of industry at seventeen, puts to shame the loutish young fellow who sleeps till 9 o'clock in the morning and goes about saying, "There is. no chance for a young man nowadays. " i Freddie Gets opened bis eyes and saw Opportunity. He made his chance. Ancient Origin of Military Salute, When did the military salute come into use? It certainly dates from the earlier half of the fifteenth century, says the St James' Gazette. In the "Speculum Humanae Salvatlonis," which was issued before the -Invention of printing by movable types, there is an exceedingly quaint illustration to which Abraham Is represented as saluting Melchlsedec. The patriarch is In mediaeval- armor and apparently on guard, and it .would seem that Melchlsedec Is bringing him refreshments or water, and the salute Is distinctly the military on still In use. The man who say nothing Imay be a deep thinker, but of what use Is a vein of gold If It can't be brought ta the

Wins Girl and Dodge Papa's Shotgun by Use of Wireless

Trenton, N. J., June 1. The old say ing, "Love will find a way.' was dem onstrated as true today by an an nouncement of the engagement of Miss Lillian Vincent of xMorrisville, Pa.and Charles G. Clay, who resides iear Yardley, Pa. An angry father, guarding his home from a sweetheart with a shotgun, the bringing into play of a wireless apparatus as a means of com munication between sweethearts and the attempt of a jilted sweetheart to interfere with the love wireless . messages, all figured In a romance which led up to this engagement. . A year ago Clay met Miss Vincent at "Harvest Home," and for a time afterward called at the Vincent home. George Vincent, father of the girl ordered Clay to cease his calls on penalty of being shot, but his friendship for Miss Vincent had ripened into a deeper affection. His love was returned. Communication for a time between the sweethearts was by means of note3 carried by friends. Clay was at one time an electrician and telegraph operator. He instructed his sweetheart how to arrange a wireless apparatus above the garret in her home, the batteries, coil and other apparatus being taken to her by farm boys, who told her father they were bringing material from a dressmaker. Miss Vincent carried out .the instructions and soon had the apparatus in place. Clay installed an apparatus at his home and love messages were soon being flashed by wireless.

When General Lew Wallace was the American plenipotentiary to Constantinople he saw Abdul Bamid 11. at close quarters too close for comfort really but his Involuntary Inspection was decidedly convincing as to the sultan's timidity. It seems that from the day of his presentation to the sultan the general bad grown In favor at the court and was frequently "commanded to attend merely from the personal liking ot Abdul Hamid for the American minister and the enjoyment of conversation with him. -In those days the sultan was particularly vexed over affairs to Egypt He felt that Egypt was his personal property, yet England had taken the control of the country out of his hands entirely. She bad hardly said "by your leave, but bad "advised" him that for the good of Egypt be. Abdul Hamid IL. had better let her and then bad gone ahead. He bad accepted the advice because be had nothing to say "no with. Without a fleet what, could any one say to England? This forced acquiescence worried the sultan continuously until he could not endure longer without madness. In bis distress he summoned General Wallace and described to him to detail bis humiliating condition. The general listened with friendly sympathy, and the sultan, being relieved In thus talking to confidence to a man whom he knew to be sincere and altogether free from selfish interests, asked the minister .what be could do under the circumstances. General Wallace said that be appreciated the trust and confidence of the sultan, but that being the representative official ly of the United States of America, be could not advise the ruler of another country as to what steps that ruler should take against a third power, especially when this third power was on friendly terms with bis own country. The sultan acknowledged the correctness of this position, but besought the general to make an exception, saying that there was no other man to the empire to whom be could go for one single word of honest disinterested advice. But the general repeated that be could not be false to bis duty as a minister and envoy from his government Then said the sultan. "Tell me as a private Individual; tell me as a friend. This appeal touched Geoeral Wallace deeply, and he said. "As a friend, then, and a private citizen. I will say this, that were I In the position yon have described to me I should put myself at the bead of my troops and fight to the bitter end. At these words the blood left the sultan's face, and be fell to the floor In a dead faint He felt their truth, and be knew, furthermore, that be lacked the strength of character, the force, the will power, to carry out such a program. - What would have happened bad the sultan's heart been physically weak as well Is not easy to conjecture. As It was. General Wallace did not leave the Yildlz kiosk until long after the hour be bad intended, and Abdul Hamid II. never again sought a confidential Interview witb the author of "BenHur.

dence of the couple was George Butterworth, a friend of Clay, who had previously been a suitor for Miss Vincent's, hand. Butterworth. according

to Clay, thought he might have a chance of winning Miss Vincent if he had an opportunity to converse with her orivatelv. . He. too. had been barred from the Vincent home by the father. Butterworth arranged a wireless station at his home, which Is about half way between that of Clay and Miss Vincent. "Sweet was Clay's call for Miss Vincent and the young woman's call for her sweetheart was "dear." Of course these private signals had not been given to Butterworth, but as soon as his Instrument was in operation he learned the calls. As the station established by Butterworth was in direct zone with that of Clay and the young woman, he could call either. One morning, when Miss Vincent answered the call of "sweet." she was shocked when she found Butterworth was in communication. She at first thought he was operating from Clay's home, but he immediately explained why he had rigged up the station. He was ardently making love when Clay went to his instrument to talk with his sweetheart. He also ex perienced a shock when he found there was a strange station within the wireless zone. He listened to the conver sation without making known his presence. ARTILLERYMEN They Were Once Regarded as Mechan ics. Not Soldiers. Until the time of Charles XIL of Sweden the artillery was not consld ered a part or the army. The men serving in it were not soldiers, but re garded as mechanics. The officers had no army rank. Charles XII. gave ar tillery officers a rank and regularly organized the artillery into companies. The battle of Paris demonstrated the superiority of the gun to the hands of the Spanish Infantry. The musket carried a two ounce ball and sometimes brought down at one fire two or three mailed knights. The French sent a flag of truce to remonstrate against the use of sucb barbarous weapons. . Alexander bad four kinds of cavalry the cataphmeti, or heavy armed horse; the light cavalry, carrying spears and very light armor; the acrobalistae, or mounted archers, used for outposts, patrols and reconnoitering duty, and the dimachoe, or troops expected to act either as cavalry or Infantry. Alexander the Great reorganized bis father's army. The file or lachos of sixteen men . was the unit; two files made a dilocby; two dOocbles made a tetrarchy; two tetrarchies a texiarcby; two of these a syntagura; sixteen of these a small phalanx; four of these a tetra-phalangarcby, otherwise known as a large phalanx. The Greeks attacked to a phalanx, the spears interlocked and shields overlapping. After the first onset tbe spears were dropped, and tbe day was decided witb tbe sword.- Tbe cavalry attacked tbe enemy in tbe rear if possible and In case of victory undertook the pursuit Pearson's Weekly.
