In speaking with a man of consider
able observation a few days ago, we
were struck with a remark touching the
interest which the boarding schools in
this, as well as other towns, ought to
take in temperance work. He said pa
rents, other things being equal, greatly
prefer to send their boys and girls to the
schools that are freest and farthest from
the influences of intemperance. School
principals may stick a pin here, and
they do well to encourage vigorously
every possible influence for temperance.
The Winston Sentinel in giving no

a student in that institution three
years, says that the strictest surveillance
is maintained against theuse of tobac

Away from that which is known, on
ward to that which is unknown ; away
from the thing that has been and is, on
ward to the thing that is not but will
be ; this is life ! It is stagnation, it is
death to try to live any other way. The
necessity is on us to be ever moving
forward out of the bright light of that
which is understood, into the partial
darkness of the next open door that
conceals undreamed-of happiness or
di3aster. Very naturally, there is a
feeling ol apprehension and shuddering
and protest as Time, like a train, bur-
ries us across plains decked with flow-
ers and then rushes with terrifying roar
past jagged and dangerous rocks and
mayhap suddenly suspends us over
chasms whose depths mean destruction
to those who fall therein. Yet what is this

take as a text for thought the present

is a quality of mercy and of great dig

or temptation to which the rush ot

ARMY RATIONS.
THE GOVERNMENT DRAWING
HEAVILY ON THE COUNTRY'S
FOOD SUPPLY.
One of the Most Difficult Problems of
the War is How to Feed Soldiers
in the Field What Con
stitutes a Ration.
New York Sun.
One of the most difficult problems of
war has always been the feeding of an
army in the field. Various plans have
been tried from time to time by the
different countries of the world to sup
ply the troops with a food that would
nourish and sustain them through
ong marches and hard times and at the
same time be as compact and light as
possible, so that it could be easily car
ried. The Governments of the United
States, France and Germany have ex
perimented for many years for the pur
pose of finding out what constitutes
such a food, but with no definite re
sults. . -
N umberless beef tablets and extracts
have been manufactured and offered as
substitutes for what the soldier now
eats, but all have been rejected on the
ground that while they might do in' an
emergency they wouid not prove of
much use in a prolonged campaign.
The average soldier prefers his beef
and pork to a tablet, no matter wheth
er it is easily carried or not.
In our army to-day the soldiers gen
erally carries from one to three dayb'
rations in his knapsack. Very rarely
does he carry more than enough for
three days, unless the regiment is mak
ing a forced march or is far from its
base of supplies. Under no circum
stances does he carry more than ten
days' rations, which is a a very heavy
oad. A man's rations for a day con
sists of the following : Beef, 20 ounces ;
or mutton, 20 ounces ; or pork, 12
ounces ; or bacon, 22 ounces ; flour, 20
ounces, or 1 pound oi hardtack. Vege
tables, such as beans, rice or peas, in
small quantities, and coffee, u gar and
potatoes.
The meat bill is sometimes varied,
so that instead oi beef or mutton the
troops have dried, fresh or pickled fish.
When in camp the men generally have
fresh bread, but in the field the hard
tack and salt beef takes the place of
soft bread and fresh beef. The advant
age of salt beef lies in the fact that it
keeps much more readily than fresh.
Fresh beef and pork are practically
useless in a warm climate.
In each company there is a Commis
sary Sergeant, who attends to the ra
tions ot his company. He is next m
command to the regimental Commis
sary Sergeant, who, in turn, is subject
to the orders of the Commissary of the
brigade. At meal time the Commissary
Sergeants see that the rations ot each
man are turned over to the company
cooks, who prepare them. A supply
wagon-train usually follows the troops,
but it sometimes happens tnat tne
army strikes off from its source of sup
plies and depends on the country
throughout which it is passing to fur
nish sufficient food.
Often the soldiers economize, and by
saying part of their rations sell what
remains back to the Government. WTith
the money thus procured they buy
scap, candles or other necessaries.
Just now an enormous quantity of
supplies is being shipped from the East
and West to Chickamagua and other
mustering points. Carloads of canned
oti1 fresh meats leave constantly from
Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha. The
firttromment has established supply de -
ots at the most important and con-
veuient points throughout the country
and the stores are assembled there.-
The big meat packing firms make a
contract with the Government to fur-
nish so much meat, and the great de-
mand made upon these hrms nas re-
suited in raising the price of meat con-
siderably. Since the beginning of the
war pork, bacon and beef have con
tinned to advance in price.
A prominent army officer who is now
stationed in New York City, in speak
ing about the army said : " we nave
men come in here every day with
samples of beef extracts and tablets,
which they offer in the hope that the
Government will buy from them. Here
is something from a New York manu
facturer," he contiued, picking up a
small vial holding about one ounce of
liquid.
"This, its asent savs. will take the
nlace of half a pound of beef, but

doubt if it does. I don't think I should
want to live on this stuff.
"You see, the principal thing in
preparing food for the soldiers is to
find something which is as free as pos
sible from water. To compress the
meat is the proper way to get the
water out of it, and the canned beefs
which are made by the Western firms
are about the best thing yet offered
for any army food which has the qual
ities of being both light and nourish
ing. "In the Franco-Prussian War the
Germans thought they had discovered
the correct thing in a sort of small
susage. It was found to be of little
mo, however, when it came to the test.
It has been the same way with every
thing else of the kind."
"What does it mean when we hear
that a regiment of 1,000 men has ten
days' rations?" was asked.
"It "simply means," he answered,
'that each man has rations for ten
days, a very unusual thing by the way.
It takes about 750 pounds of pork or
bacon to supply 1,000 men, or 1,250
pounds of fresh beef. Mutton is some
times used when it is no higher in
price than beef, and a regiment oi
1,000 men would need about 800
pounds of that. Beans, rice and peas
are carried in small quantities, and we
also allow a little salt, vegetables and
sugar.
"The food list is slightly different
when the regiment is traveling from
what it is in camp. When a body oi
men is on a journey we generally give
out what we call 'traveling rations' for
so many days. After four days of
traveling we allow each soldier one
pound of canned tomatoes, but when
the men get to camp they resume the
regular diet. Here is a table of travel-
ink- rations. This will suffice for 100
men for one day : Soft bread, 1 12
pounds, or hardtack, 100 pounds ; can
ned beef, 75 pounds; baked beans,
1-pound cans, 33 pounds ; coffee (roast
ed), 8 pounds ; sugar, 5 pounds, and
coffee (raw), 10 pounds."
The Sword for Dewey.
Washington Even ins; St5.
The sword to be presented to Admiral
Dewey ,-uiider the n;tof Congress pro
viding for this special mark of distinc
tion for his bravery at Manila, will be
one of the most beautiful weapons ever
made. Already the artistic ingenuity
of the best swordmakers and jewelers
of the country, and, indeed, of the en
the world, has been excited, and the
Navy Department has already more
than fifty designs for the "Dewey
sword." They are marked by great
beauty of design, some of the blades
being wrought with figures emblematic
of the famous battle in Manila bay,
while the hilt and scabbard of steel,
gold, and silver, are studded with jewels
and highly-wrought marine emblems,
such as Neptunes, dolphins, mermaids,
rnnstnns. anchors, etc. Thus far the
department has not taken up the mat
ter of selecting a design. The board to
select a design will probably consist ol
Acting-Secretary Allen, Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts, and one of the pro
fessors of the Annapol.s Naval Aca-
dnmv The same hnnrd will decide
noon the designs lor the medals which
Congress has authorized as a mark of
special distinction to all of the officers
and crews of the shiDS taking part in
the battle of Manila.

all proper occasions. It is not stiff

Such hospitality is a revelation to
those who come from sections where it
