The First and Foremost Rule is Never to Smoke Before Breakfast. Generals-rat Dr. Schqler publishes a ; collection of “Hints [for Smokers,” which are founded, as the Doctor states upon his professional observa- tions for many years of the- mouth, teeth,stomac11-,lungs, heart and skin of the devotees of tobacco. The first and foremost rule is? never to smoke - before breakfast, nor, —-as a rule, when the stomach is empty; this custom is the worst possible foe of digestion. Never smoke during any exertion of great physical ' energy, as . dancing, running, cycling, monntainéclimbing, or rowing, and especially if in a con- test. Never follow “the bad custom.of the French and Russians” by allowing the smoke to pass through the nose; never inhale it through the nose. Keep the smoke as far as possible from the" eyes. and nose;- the longer the pipe the better; the use of a short pipe during work is to be avoided. A pipe is the most wholesome form of smok- ing, a cigar the next, a cigarette the worst. Always throw away your cigar as soon as you have smoked four-fifths of it; the last end of it is the most hurtful, in cauda venenum, the poison lurks in the tail. All cigarettes are bad, but Eastern cigarettes the worst, for they are almost always compound- ed with some degree of opium. The smoker ought to rinse out his mouth, not only before every meal and before going to bed at night, but several times during the day. The best rinse for the smoker is a glass of water in which a teaspoonful of table salt has been dissolved. It should be used as a. gar- gle at night, and care should be taken that every cavity in the teeth is well washed with it. The pipe’s proper place is in the hand, and only occa- sionally in the lips or teeth. cnossme 'Swonns IN TI-IE HOUSE. Congressmen Butler and Randall Have 15 Till: Over a Sunday Session. Away back in the 70s, during the famous deadlock fight ,on the Civil Rights bill, the question of the ad- journment of Congress was under dis- cussion one Saturday afternoon. Ben Butler, that born wit, had stepped over to Sam Randall’s desk for a private consultation. Butler favored a Sun- day session, while Randall opposed it vigorously. "Bad as I am, I have some respect for God’s day,” said 'the famous high taiiff champion, “and I don’ t think it right to hold a session on the Sab- bath. " “0h, pshawlf' responded Butler, “doesn't the Bible say that it is law- ful to pull your ox or ass out of the pit on the Sabbath day? ‘You have seventy-three asses on your side of this House that I want to get out of this ditch to-morrow, and I think I am en- gag'ed in a holy work. ” “Dbn’t do l-,t Butler " pleaded Ran- dall. “I have some respect for you that I don’t want to lose.

June 14.—There is a good deal of bad feeling throughout . the state, especially in military circles, i3 ~ 4 - Label-ed on a Farm froni the Time He was over the federal pol-icy of breaking up the militia organizations, which enlist- ed with the idea that .they would be kept together and suffer no change ex- cept recruiting. The First regiment has been dismembered and it seems to be the intention ’of the government to divide also the naval battalion, which has been under examination at the‘ Niantic camp, but this has not yet been mustered in. A good deal of dis- satisfaction prev-ails also in the Light Battery, espeéiaily among the Yale men, who enlisted for actual service, and have now been kept at dull camp routine with what they consider little prospect of seeing‘actiual war. A dele- gation has visited Washington and re- ceived a promise that the battery will be called later into‘ actual service if possible. Another matter causing trouble is the report-uthat to make a. full regiment of twelve companies the Fourth militia. regiment will be ca'lledout and com- bined with the Third—both being short regiments—which would pnobably leave the Second regiment, 'a. full body of twelve companies, out of the service altogether, although it is the crack regiment of the state. Governor Cooke is blamed for the muddled condition of affairs, which is due partly to the fact that he adopted the rule of calling out the regiments in the order of seinlorlty in command. ‘ A NEW COMET DISCOVERED.

OUR SECRETARY: OF WAR. Eleven to Eighteen Years of Age—Af— terwards Taught School and Studied Lew—Fine Record in the Civil \Vas. I Noman of public prdminence in the l country fo-day is a finer example of the possibilities of advancement and' reward under free, republican govern- ment than the distinguished Secretary of War. Despite the early hamperings of poverty and hard luck and poor health, he has risen to great wealth and great political eminence by the sheer force of brains and well directed energy. His ancestors were of New England stock, but the parents of Rus- sell Alexander Alger moved west to Medina. County, Ohio, in 1835, where ' the future Governor, General and Cab- inet Minister was born in the town of Lafayette, February 27, 1836. The force of his character was tested at a. very early age. He was left an or-_ phan without a. dollar to :his name. when only eleven, and the situation was made more distressing by . a' younger brother and sistt, even more defenseless in the world than himself. But he knuckled down bravely to the responsibility. Finding places for the brother and sister, he worked on a. farm for board and clothes till he was nearly eighteen, snatching what poor schooling he could in the winter months. Then he increased his income by teaching, studying law meanwhile and finally entering the bar in 1857. He had managed during this time, to help his younger relatives from his meager earnings. He entered on his chosen profession at Akron, Ohio, but soon re- moved to the larger and more prom- ising place of Cleveland. AW” RUSSEELL A. ALGER. But his health had been undermined by so much hard..,[email protected] constant sacrifice, _and,~.on the advice of friends, he moved! to the lumber camps of Grand Rapids; Mich; n": 1860, where he joined an acquAIntance in 11’ lumbérfi‘ enterprise. In 1861 he married Miss Annette H. Henry. ' The opportunity war, when he entered the service in the Second Michigan Cavalry, econ, ad- vancing to the captaincy of a company." It so chanced that Philip H. Sheridan was also a captain in the same regl-' ment, under Gordon Granger, its col- onel. When the latter was promoted to a. brigadler, ‘Alger induced Gov. Blair to make Sheridan ,3. colonel and acting cominissary on Halleck's staff. ' Sheridan rose rapidly in promotion, and Alger went. up with him. They served together at Boonesvllle, Mo. ., where Alger was wounded and cap-, twred, but escaped. In October, 1862,. he was made lieutenant-compel of the Sixth Michigan Cavalry, and Colonel of the Fifth in 1863. During the entire' war he served with distinguished brav-V ery under Sheridan, Hilpatrick and Custer. He was in more than sixty" battles and minor engagements. on June 28, ’63 his command was the first. to enter Gettysburg, and, after this famous battle he was badly wounded at Boonsborough, Md. ‘ He was with Sher- idan in the'S'hen-andoah Valley in 1864 and captured a large force of Confed- erates, and in June of that year he was glVen the brevets of brigadier and ma- ing the latter year that President Lin- coln selected lhim'for some confideh- tial service that took him to all the ar- mies in the field. His brevei: came fffor. gallant and meritorious service.” At the close of the war Gen: Alger resumed 'the ‘lumber business, with- headquarters at Detroit. One of his pioneer enterprises was railroad emten: slon to the forests for the rapid trans. portation of heavy logs 'to the market, and so keen and progessiv-e were his methods that his wealth grew at a rapid rate, until to-day his fortune, made partly in other enterprises, is placed at twelve millions. - - For the first 'time in thirty years the democrats in 1882 by a greenback. fusion elected Begole Governor of Michigan. Alger was prevailed to head [the Re- publican ticket against him. By great energy and cool, keen political methods in the canvass. he won with the 'heav- lest Republican vote ever'cast in that State. He positively declined to run again, 'but had redeemed Michigan from the enemy's control. When President McKinley came to' sentiment singled out Gen. .Alger for the portfolio of War, and 'the Presi- dent was prompt to tender him the hon- or. Though not in the best of health. _ he has been wise and brilliant in his conduct of the great trust in this crisis; and has increased the country' s obli- gallons for patriotic, well- directed and macioue services.
