The historical student is considerably
bothered by tho details Tif tho battle of
Waterloo. Starting with the one thing
certain, that Napoleon was defeated, it
is not yet satisfactorily determined
whether it was the English or the Prus
sians that won the fight. It is also not
known with certainty whether Welling
ton surprised his enemy or overcame
him by superior strategy; whether he
and Blucher met at La Ilolle Alliance
or eomo miles away; whether Grouchy
disobeyed orders, or carried them out
too literally. It is even not settled
that Wellington snid, "Up, guards,
and at them," or that Cambroune cried
"Tho old guard dies, but never sur
renders," or where the famous ball of
tho Duchess of Richmond was actually
beld.

the population of the United Kingdom
are the greatest butter caters in the
world. In addition to what they make
for themselves, they have imported
during the last six years an average
of 2('i!l,843,r49 pounds of pure butter
annually, for which they have paid an
average of 8(12,302,777. In IH',10 they

In nddition to this, they have im

they have paid annually the average
price of 81(5,087,102. In 1896 the im

- A long slim neck is a distinguishing
feature of much of the Peruvian pot

poured into the vessel. By an ingeni

her sobs became audible, and tears
trickled down her cheeks. The manu

a prominent member of tho O. A. B. His
statement will not bo news to his friends, as

commended to the considerat ion of tho pub

"It Rives mo great pleasure and satisfao

I am an old soldier, anil member of the O.
A. It., having served as high private In Co.
A, 1st New York Artillery, during the whole
four years of the Rebellion. Though not a
pensioner, and never an applicant for pen
sion, 1 contracted through malnrlnl climate
disease of liver and stomach, from
which I suffered continuously, In various
forms. In 1W13 I had the Janndico, and It
continued for years, to a greater or lesser
degree. I never was free from dyspepsia,
and pnlpitntion of the heart, and suffered
from nervous debility to such an extent
that I could neither rest hv nlirht nor work
by day. Night after night I walked tho
floor tormented by vague fears, which I
knew wore purely Imaginary, and yet I
could not shake them off. I came home In
June, 1805, ami from then until 1WH I was
constantly attended by physicians, having
employed three at different times during
that period. These good doctors gave me
occasionally temporary relief, but the good
effects of their treatment quickly disap
peared, and left me more despondent and
wretched than ever.

and felt somewhat Inclined to try them, be
fore Beifert spoke of them, but his recom
mendntion settled the matter, and I became
Dr. Williams' patient. I took rink Tills
steadily until I have consumed four boxes,
growing better and better every day, my
liver working freely, my kidneys acting
normally. My heart no longer troubled
me, and I could digest my food. All the
water brash, heart burn, buzzing lu tho
head, as if there were a great empty space
in my cranium, disappeared, and life began
to be worth living, which it had not been
since my army service. I was cured In less
than one year from the time I began to
take Tink rills In 1894, and have beeu In
fntr health ever since. Of course, I havo to
bo careful, as I easily catch cold, and It Is

How Fast Wild Geese Fly.
During the three days ending March
22 numerous flocks of geese were seen
migrating northward, or, rather, north
eastward, since they were following the
general trend of the coast line, which,
in New England, is nearly northeast
ward north of Cope Cod. On the morn
ing of March 22, while A. E. Sweetlond
and I were measuring clouds at the
ends of a base line 1178.4 metres in
length, extending from the Blue Hill
Meteorological Observatory to the base
of Blue Hill, we succeeded in measur
ing, with our cloud theodolites, the
height and the Velocity of flight of one
of these flocks of geese. So rapid is
the velocity of flight that the flock was
visible to observers only about two
minutes, but during that time two sets
of measurements were taken with the
theodolites on the leader of the flock.
The first measurements, at 8.49 a.
ni., were accurately taken at the ob
servatory station, but were only ap
proximate at the other station. The
second measurements, at 8.50 a. in.,
were accurate and simultaneous at both
stations. Using the second set of ob
servations at both stations for the
height and the two sets of observations
at the observatory station for the
velocity, the calculations gave the
height as 905 feet above the Neponset
River Valley, of 9G0 feet above sea
level, and the velocity of flight as 44.3
miles an hour. The direction of flight
was from southwest to northeast.
On a previous occasion, as described
in Science of January 1, we found a
flock of ducks flyiug from the northeast
at a height of 958 feet, with a velocity
of 47.8 miles au hour. H. Helm Clay

A New Helmet for .the German Army.
A new helmet has been served out,
by way of experiment, to several regi
ments of the German Army. It is
very light, being made of aluminium,
ami is bronzed in order to obviate the
drawbacks which might arise from a
bright metal head-dress. Germany has
already tried aluminium horse-shoes,
buckles, and accoutrements, with a
view .to lightening the weight which
the soldier must carry. For horse
shoes it has been fouud too soft, but
in other respects it has answered well.
There is one drawback which has not
been foreseen, namely, that when ex
posed to the iuflueuce of the sun alu
minum will store up heat to a remark
able degree, eveutuully becoming so hot
as to blister the skin. Whether bronz
ing will obviate this defect remains to
be seen, but the German experiment
is one which is well worth the atten
tion of all militury men. British Army

its excess of oxygen is a valuable fea
ture. At present chemists are ttiw

cleaning rcBNrrmtn.
Ouo reason why people fail in clean
ing furniture coverings is that they
are too economical in the use of
naphtha. It must bo literally poarod
on to be effective. Standing in the
breeze, it will evaporate very quickly,
and will destroy every vestige of
moths. If the articles are to bo left
in the house, they may bo wrappod in
sheets tightly pinned around them.
This kocps u certain amount of tho
odor in tho furniture for a long time,
and ronders it doubly safe.
It cunnot be too strongly emphasized
that no light of any kind must be
taken into the rooms while the
naphtha-cleaned articles reoently
finished are there. The inflammable
natnro of naphtha vapor makes it ex
ceedingly dungerons when brought
near a flame.
Cushions, carpets and wool draperies
may safely be cleanod in this way,and
all that is necessnry is to throw all
draperies over a line in the yard, open
the windows, remove tho wrapping
from the furniture, and let the breeze
havo a full sweep through the rooms
for a day or two. Then there will be
no offensive smell, aud the-furuituro
may be utoJ with perfect safety so
far as danger from tire is concerned.

It Is not only unmanlv. snvs fhnrles
Follen Palmer lu "Incbrietv,"but nionn
spirltod, for the Intompcrnto man to de
clare that, although he Is wenk on tho ono

though he gives way to Inebriety, ho does
not do so In other vices, such ns gambling
lying, stealing, taking undue advantages
of another In a bargain, scnndnl-niongi.r-ng,
bearing false witness, adultery and tho
like. Ho deceives himself and attempts to
deceive others when he snvs so, for ho
knows thnt he does not exercise any strong
force of moral r'slntanco to these, and that
tho renson ho does not vleld to thein is
becauso ho has no strong tondcncieH or iti
cllnattons in such directions. If they pos
sessed one-hnlt tho power over him thnt
drink does, ho would yield to every one of
them. There Is no in'auliiiews in adhering
to virtues which are In harmony wltn the

five times out of ten; and so it is with every
virtue in tho calendar. Wo are only
strengthened, developed, and made right
ful clalmauts and possessors of tho title
and dignity of manhood by our successful
lightings with every form of weakness.
A large number of men and women go
through life with tho credit of being manly
men and moral women, who have never
had a temptation suillclently strong and
potent for a kitten not to resist on tho
score of impropriety, and who yet full to
resist even these.
Save the Children.
Dr. Luc Keverln, of I.lego, In nn nrtielo In
Le ltleu Social, makes an earnest appeal on
behalf of thoehildren. Amongotherthlngs
he says;
"It has long ago boen proved that health
has nothing to gnin bv tho use of even n
minimum iiunntity of alcohol, and that on
tho contrary, it can only bo Injured by it
It is, then, indispensable that parents, uu
tier whatever pretext It may bo urged (ex
cept In a case of sickness and under inedi
eal prescription), should never give theli
children wine, nor beer, nor liquors of nnj
kind. In fact, one has often seen children
whom their parents had taught to tnst
alcoholic liquors tnke advantngoof a favor
able opportunity to drink rapidly a quan
tity of liquor which quickly makes them in
toxicated, and often ends in convulsions oi
a stnto of intlnmmatlon of tho brain, very
serious for health, sometimes oven fatal.'
A Poison.
Among the radical opponents of the use
of alcohol as a beverage, whether In
large are small portions, is Dr. A Kick
professor of physiology In Wurr.burg. 11c
pronounces alcohol a poison, aud as a spe
cialist lu physiology he declares that Ut
effect on tho mind and bodv Is most per
nicious, ltcspectlng tho strengthening In
fluence of alcohol ho says: "It Is alto
gether -beyond question "thnt even the
moderate dose of alcohol diminishes the
