Jured. This deplorable loss of life is deserv- ing of more attention than it gets be- causo of the large number of them which are avoidable, the estimate be- ing that three-quarters of them could be prevented by the exercise of proper care. Such ravages in the ranks of hu- manity present & situation that is wor- thy of serious attention. Well may we put forth strenuous endeavors to guard against war but equally important should be the efforts made for guarding the lives of those far from the scenes of bat- tle. Human life is too valuable to per- mit it to be sacrificed in such a manner. The sitpation Is by mo means a new one, It is In fact an old story but. the efforts to change it fail to make very rapid progress.

But nations grow old and die the same as individuals, and _there.. arc some marks of old age in the organic life of this powerful. state. England's failure to recoyer from the terrible shock of the World war quickly shaws that she has lost the elasticity gf her youth. In- ternal strifes are adding greatly to the burden of her years. But on the, whols Great Britain has lived .well, afd that counts as much for a nation as for an individual. Her greatest claim to im- mortality has been the .general success of her colonial possessions. There is not 3 man or woman in the United States today, who is in the habit of indulging in tobacco in some form or other, who is mot a trifle apprehensive about a continuance of its use In the years to come. It is a subject that is being discussed every day In every nook and corner of the country, writes H. O. Bishop. Some will argue that it is only a question of time ~until the refo.mers send the Princess Nicotine to join the late lamented ‘John Barleycorn. Others ridi- cue such an argument, vehemently declar- ing that tobacco i5 the onme thing that legislation cannot take away from them. Eighty “years ago the users of tobac- co were as much wrought up over the subject of its being legislated out of ex- istence as they are at present, and prob- ably with as little real reason. Here is the interesting way in which a prominent man of that period defended its uses and discussed ‘opposition to it “When we consider how much opposi- tion has been offéred to the use of to- Sometime ago attention was ealled in these paragraphs that the “do” it now” policy needs to be tiken with a “grain of salt” It is apt to lead to crude and ill-considered action. Along other lines it offers advice that one may wisely and safely follow. There ‘are certain things that ought to be done at certain times; no other time is quite so favorable as the seasonable time. If a boy does not learn to swim, skate, play bail and in- dulge in other games and sports, hewill have no desire to do so when a man. If he does mot go to school when young, the presumption is he never will. How many men in the midst of a very busy life say: ‘“When I get the time I will read such a book” or “I will visit such and such places,” or “I will do such and such things!” As a matter of fact when such a time comes—if it ever does—they bacco,” and how numerous have been the legislative enactwents against the efl- joyment, 'frequeptly forbidden under pain of death, it speaks much in favor. of our inestimable plant, that its virtues have at Jength been self-enabled to triumph over the maledictions of the mighty When the patriot Raleish was in favor with Blizabeth ,having named his discovery Virginia, in honor of her royal but an- cient maidenhood, the herb was in general request; even the ladies of the court in- dulged 'in. the sowl-wothments of the stranger; and some writers have affirmrd that the Quecd. herself, n giddy-mir¥.d woman ,and ever fond of noveity, gave them an example. A walnut shell and a straw were the first attemnts at pipe malking, and the herb was then so scarce, as frequently to sell for its weight in find that they have mo interest in those things. Our relish fer doing the things wo desiro always slips by with the op- portunity. It is a pretty safe rule to “do it now” while the inspiration is on. How far are we justified in permitting external influences to control, or at least to modity, our peace of mind, our happi- ness, and our thinking? That most peo- ple are more or less affected by outward conditions goes without saying. Is it possible to rise entirely above depressing surroundings? Is It ~possible to g0 through fire "without having the smell of smoke upon your garments? Can you liva in the atmosphere of moral smudge without inhaling its taint? Probably all| people, at one time or another, are ex-| posed to these things and many more like them. We are more or less like the chameleon reflecting the color of the ob- ject we are on or near for the time be- ing. For this reason, when We g0 through a cold, dreary northeast storm for about two weeks, it is apt to'show on our faces and get inside of our disposi- tion. And yet is there a really good ex- cuse for letting the Weather make us miserable? Two things ought to Work to- gether in helping us rise above it; first, our faith in the high moral purpose of life; and, sccondly, the exercise of a strong will power. . If a person is really absorbed in his work, his. attitude seems to say to the weather and these other things, “Go hang! Do we make a proper distinction be- tween a wonder and a miracle? When we come face to face with something that surprises us, and which we do not understand, we are very apt to sa: “Oh, it's a miracle” Many things pass for miracles that are not remotely connect- ed with them. They are simply wonders that baffle our understanding, and fill us with awe and astonishment. ‘Here then {s the difference” between a wonder and a miracle; a wonder is anything we do fot understand, While 2 miracle is some- |thing that subverts or transcends law. To raise a person from the ~dead Is clearly and uamistakably ‘miraculous. o send a wireless message from one part of ‘the world to another is a ‘wonder. If the good people living in the days of the Revolutionary war should. come back and spy a biplane gliding lhmu_gh the air, they would be apt to exclaim: “A miracte! It is the subversion of natural forces!” - But we.know hetter. Tt is mot. the subversion, but the mastery of nmat- ural forees. The same i= true of all great discoveries and inventions; they 3re the utilization of natural forces, not the subversion. 9 i Mumdn disposition and eapacits among the stable qualities of the ages. A very able man in one age would be equally able in any other age, although jt would be expressed through different channels, The robber baron of the early and middle ages was the man of energy and capacity. And he lives and operates today in a less brutal fashion under the title of “captatn of industry” but to all intents and purposes he is the same old yobber. He displays the same Prndltf:ryl instincts, The particular form in whc'n’ he showed his nature during the war lnd; gince ig that of “profiteer.” In fact the modemn profiteer is far more greedy than the old robber baron.

Many people ¥now full well that they are trying to do too much, but seem to lack the moral} courage to -cut out some of their activi- ties. But i 2 man feels that he cannot trim his home duties hls business affairs and his social demands, can he not so regulate his daily toil as to keep health strength and efficiency amid these diffl ult eireumstances? FHas not a public man s perfect right to say “No” to one- halt fae appeals that are made for his gratuitous time and strength? In our day we are emphasizing the value of recreation. The leisure hour used rightly is always productive of joy, and joy always accomparies real Chris- tianity, The most pathetic Teport that the missionary brings back from pagan lands is that children do not know how to play. In these benighted lands there is no real childhood, the boys and girly being nothing but diminutive men and women. It is thercfore a.part of the missionary’s duty to teach the children how to play. On one occasion, a worker returning from the foreign field was re- lating this fact to the students of a mis- sionary training school. One of the num- ber who seemed to take her work over seriously remarked: “I thought I was zoing cut to teach the Bible and mot to play games.” To this the missionary re- plied, “One of your duties Will be to teach the heathen the gospel of play and recreation.” A Christian business man returning from the Philippines said that next to ‘carrying the gospel to the peo- DPle, the bizgest that we had done was to teach the young ‘men to play baseball. On May 20, 1506, Christopher Colum- bus dled at Vajladolld, in Spain. Colum- bus is one of the great mountain peaks of history that looms up bigger just in proportion as you get farther'from it. The man was a product of his age and 1s not to be judged by the finer ethics of the 20th century, anymore than Abra- ham and David. But When We measure ipecially him with any other man of his day and generation we need not be ashamed of the comparison, The world owes an in- caleujable debt to this intrepid naviga- tor. He was one of those daring spirits did ‘not flinch before obstacles, ich to most men, even in his own ad- wh venturous age, would have been insuper- able. His patience in following out his projects was as remarkable as his dar- ing. His discovery was hardly less than that of a “new heaven and a new earth.” More than any other man, Columbus changed the miap of the world. IN AMERICAN WISTORY ODD INCIDENTS HOW ARNOLD’S TREACHERY WAS| RECEIVED Before that fatal day it was flash- ed across the country that Benedict Arnold had turned traifor and Lad bar- gained with the Britisn to turn over West_Point to them, he possessed an enyiable reputation, and all of his fel- Jowmen were proud to do him honor in every way. Almost in a twinkle of an eye all this was ‘changed and the day after the discovery of his treason he was being hung in effigy all over the country and his name was a by- word on the lips of every one. Thé Arnoid effigy parties were es- conducted on an elaborate scale in Philadelphia, Boston and Prov- idence, and in the latter city the fig- ure was committed to the' flames in sight of the famous EIm of Liberty. The New Jersey Gazette on November | 1, printed the folowing: SATAN AND ARNOLD Quoth Satan to- Arnold, “My worthy good fellow, 1 love you much better than ever T did You live like a prince, with Hal may - get mellow, But mind that you both do-just as| I bid.” Quoth Arncld to Satan, “My friend do uot doubt me. I will strictly adhere to all your great views; To you I'm devoted with all things about me, You'll permit me I hope to die in my shoes, On October 7 Arnold was carried through New Milford, Conn., in ef- figy. He made his appearance sitting on his coffin in.a horse cart, hung round with several lanterns.. Behind the traitor stood the devil, who acted the part of being ashamed of so un- worthy a servant. The traitor was dressed in uniform, pinioned and prop- erly accoutred for.the gallows. Ifau ing made the tour of the town, he was brought under strong guard to the place of execution, where in. the view of some hunsred spectators, he was formally hanged, cut down and buried. Ori_the heart of the traitor was fixed a label expressive of his real charac-| s condemnation | ter, the justice of b and a bequest of his soul to the devil. On the afternoon of September 30 the people of Philadelphia and vicinity made a demonstration unfavorable to Arnold by carting an effigy of the no- torious conspirator through the street of the city. The exhibition was as follows: There was a stage raised on the cart on which an effigy of Gen. Arnold was sitting. This was dressed in regimentals, had twc faces, emblem- atic of his traitorous conduct, a_mask in his left hand and a lettor in his| right from Beelzebub, had* done all the misec f he could do and now he must hang himself., At the back of the General was a figure of the devil, dressed in black robes shaking a purse of money at the General's left ear, and in his right hand a pitchfork, ready to drive him into the eternal regions as the re ward for the many crimes which his thirst for gold had made him com- mit. In the front of the stage, and before Gen. Arnold, was placed 2 large lan- tern of transparent paper, on one side of which was Arnold on his knees be- fore his Satanic Majesty, who is pull- ing him into the fiames, and on the other two figures hanging, inscribed: Traitor'’s Reward” and written : “The Adjutant General of the British Army and Joseph Smith the first hanged as a spy and the other as a traitor to his_country.”’ There was a large procession which followed the cart until the effigy was committed to the flames. On October 19th following the Ar- noid treachery the colonial Govern- ment of Naw York had issued a proc- mation recommending to the inhab- itants of that state to observe Thurs- day, the cecond day of November, as a day of prayer and thanksgiving fo Almighty God for .the recent and re- markable deliverance wrought in be- half of the United States in general and, of his State in particular, by the discovery of the treasomable conspir- acy for betraying the fortifications in the Highlands into the hands of the enemy; to depracate his wrath for the | evils prevalent among us, and hum- bly to implore a continuance of his fa- vor and protection.” The British however, took a differ- ent view of the matter. When Arnold arrived in New York, following his hurried escape from West Point, the sagacious great ones supposed ~ that unon paying particular attention to the villain, they would légsen his crime in the eyes of the world, and introduce him to the notice of their cireles, with- out which they saw he must sink into obscurity and contempt. He was ac- cordingly caressed by all in power and Gen. Robertson's house fixed for his residence. Whenever he chose to ride the different aids in rotation attended him in his promenade, and many other honors were conferred upon him.

Sapient virginity ! “Her successor, the pious James, the murderer of Raleigh and the legisiator on witcheraft, issued in 1603, his famous ‘counter-biaste to tobacco,’ a fitting em- anation from the brain of this weak and narrow-minded monarch. Of course he hated his victims' importation, and did his* best to crush it; the duty was aug- mented from 2d to 6s. 10d per Ib.. Ths was meant as prohibitory, and the plant- ers in the newly established colonoy were forbidden to raise more than one hun- dred welght each In a year, The learn- ed Joshua Silvester, to please his kingly patron, published a work with the follow- ing singular and ling winded title, “To- | breco battered, and the Pipes shattered (about the ears that idly ldolize so base and barbarous a weed, or, leastwise, over love so loathsome a canitie), by a volley of holy shot, thundered from Mount Hel- icon.’ Notwithstanding this regal and priest- Iy wrath, the use of the j§ant extended far and wide. It appears from u note in the Criminal trials, that in 1600 the French ambassador in his disoatches rbpresented the peers on the trial of the Earls of Bssex and Southampton, as smokinz tobacco most vigorously while debating upon their verdict. Sir Walter gmoked a pipe whilst walking to the scat- old. “Charles 1 condinued the excessive im- post and made tobacco a royal monopoly. Charles II wrote to the University of Cambridge forbidding the members to wear periwigs, smoke tobacco or read sermons. It is needless to'remark that tobacco has not yet made its exit ‘in fumo,’ and that periwigs still continue to adorn the ‘heads of houses’ 1In Russia, where the peasantry now smoke all day long, the Grand Duke of Moscow pro- hibited the entrance of tobaceo into his dominions, under the penalty of personal chastizcment for the first offence, and death for the second; and the Muscovite who was found soufling was condemned to have his nostrils split. So great, in- deed, was the hostility of the government against tobacco in every form that a particular court of law for punishing of dmokers was instituted in 1634, and not gholished “until the middle of the cighteenth century. In 1590 Shah Abbas forbade the use of tobacco in Persia by a penal law; but so firmly had the lux- |ury rooted jtself among his subjects that many inhabitants of cities fled to the mountains, where they hid themsclves, rather than forego the pleasure of smoking. In 1624 Pape Urban VII anathematised all snuff-takers who in- dulged in the habit in any church, and in 1690 Pope Innocent ex-communicated |all who indulged in that vice in the |church of St. Peter at Rome. In 1625 {the grand sultan, Amarath IV., proh |ited all smoking, as an unnatural and ir- | religious custom, under pain of death; {fow, indeed, suffered the pemalty, yet in | Constantinople, where the custom is now |universal, smoking was thought to be so riduculous and hurtful that any Turk Who was caught in the act was conduct- ed in ridicule through the streets with la vipe passed through his nose.

In the midst of a violent Speech on the pernicious {effects of tobaccn, Fagon made a pause and, taking a snuff-box from his pocket, refreshed himself with a pinch to enable him to renew the argument. “Nor have certain persecutors failed to reach it even in our own country.
