Grofl, president ol the i'ennsylTnnia lizard of hcalta, has piib iUjed a paper on "Hygiene forthcSol |tr." iu which he says that 32,534 Spanish soldiers died in Cuba in 1597. li. the same jear 30.CG0 Spanish ool d>rs were invalided liiere. His sta tistical tab'.e states further that I,oou s- V.iers were killed in the Traico-Ger uiar. war aiid Jl',ooo soldiers died in the same war from disease. Nice hundred soldiers died in one year in a single regiment in a campaign in Madagascar, and it is not an uncommon thing to have 300 men die out of one British regiment in the West Indies, "ln ft>r ir.e. years." he says, "five years was the full life of a British regiment lr. the West India serMee." On the subject of tobacco and alcohol he says to the soldier: • lucse drugs are used to ex tent :u armies, and often to excess and to the injury of the soldier*. "Do not smoke or chew excessively. "Do not use aicohol (or liquors) ex cept on the surgeon's order. Ir. the tropics, especially, avoid alcohol in all its forms, as it causes more harm there than in cold and temperate climates. It is now well known from ample ex perience, that soidlers have the best health who leave alcohol in all itsftirins sevtre.y alone. Strong liquors in the tropica is death to the soldier." Uuder the head of "Things to Avoid" Dr. Groff says: "The soldier should strive to avoid discontent, despondency, laziness, dis respect, unchastity, drunkenness and debauchery. These are not uncommon in armies, and they all lead to the de struction of sound and vigorous health. These things destroy armies more than the bulled of the enemy. Dr. Park*, the great British authority on hvg-iene. says: 'To make an ami) perfectly brave, it must be made temperate and chu c ie.'" The soldier is urged to cultivate cheerfulness. "Good health is promoted by cheer fulness. Cheerfulucss is often better than medicine. It Is a virtue which c.in be cultivated, as can also ready obedience, hopefulness, contentedness, patience, fortitude, endurance, temper aucc, Eclf-confldence, self-reliance, chastity and coarageousness. These are all virtues, and, when possessed, they go to inakfc the highest type of soldier. They all promote good health." Dr. OrofT is not one of those, who be lieves that a change to a strange cli mate will give rise to disease, and on that point says: "It 1s not. a strunge climate v»hlch can see disease among soldiers. The body soon adapts itself to changes of temperature. The greater number of diseases are produced by germs or seeds whloh exist In the earth and water at some places, but not at others. These T-.-_ .jki' within the tropics, but in certain towns and cities. These germs do not generally float in the air, and so enter the body, but become attached to food and drink, and eo enter the system. If one Is careful always to drink boiled or spring water, and to eat well-cooked fodds, or, in case of fruit*, to remove the rind, there is little dan ger of live germs getting into the body, fur the reuson that the heat of cooking kills them. "Camps are situated in the moat healthy places which can be secured. The soldier who remains with his fel li;«» und eats what is provided for him is generally safv frotii disease. But when ha «:mdtn frasn oamp, as sociates with people of unknown t.r.b its, drinks water and ents food of which he knows nothing, he runs great risks of contracting any disease which may be prevalent. "Alcohol does not prevent disease, but pother weakens the body, malting'it difficult to resist disease "The average soldier does not find opportunity to wander from camp and associate with people outside.

The Difficulties of Railway Travel la Ceylon—A Train'* Narrow Btcsfe, Therallroad which, with Its branches, connects Colombo, the capital of Cey lon, with the interior of the island, is remarkable for the engineering skill shown in its construction, and for its prosperity. It makes an asccut of 3,500 feet by a succession of loops end curves, wiyi here und there a runnel. The chief dlfiiculty in running the railroad is duo to the way in which the rain a irrrrr itnvmTTTTur Ktupire," describes what the rain did to a train crawling up the mountaluside. On December 37, 1890, llty Inches of rain fell in M hours. The .-ngineer of a train saw that beyond a certain tun nel the line was washed away. He stopped the train, and the jmsengera got out. One of them seeing stones rolling down the mountainside above them, advised the engineer to push for tho tunnel. Just as the train entered thp tunnel, down came a huge mans of rock, which carried away the embankment, as well as tie lust car of the train —a goods van, io'tuiuitely. Close l>ehind the tun nel the ends of the rail were hanging free over u precipice, and a similar con dition existed not far ahead. A inesenger came down from a plant er's bungalow nbove the tunnel to say that water was accumulating In thfc cutting in front, and that K it broke through the debris which served as 1 * dam. It would wash the train out of the tunnel. The passengers hastened to lenve the cars, and in walking through thfc water In the cutting found it uf> to their iireasts. —Youth's Companion.
