A V OXDERFVIi CHAXUE
The capital of Russia reports a |
change far greater than the
Russianizing of its name. The
c ifference botweeen St. Petersbur j
aud I'eirograd Is as nothing by I
comparison with the contrast be- j
tween the new sobriety of the Rus* I
sian metropolis and its old drunk- j
> nnees.
Four consecutive days, including
a Sunday and two Russian holi
> ays, the dispatcher gay, have left I
Petrograd with the amazing record
of absolutely no arrests for intoxi
cation. Nothing of the kind was
ever heard of before iu that city.
Ir is doubtful whether any other,
i Hy of 2.000,000 population, >»
.-urope or America, ever matched
such freedom from drunkenness.
Russia, was notorious, before the!
Czar's ukase stopped the sale of
intoxicating liquors, for its drunk-1
?rds and its hard drinking of poor j
whiskey. Now it promises to be
conspicuous among the nations of i
the earth for its sobriety. If the
new conditions orove permanent it
certaiulv will stand iloue iu that
respect.
The change will so greatly in
orease t! e efficiency of the Rus
sian people as workers and so
diminish the waste of their earn
ings that the industrial, commer
cial and financial effects may be
tar-reaching and of cenormous im
i ortauce. it is possible that Rus
sia will profit enough by this war
measure to offset HI ol" the i'ls
which cai> be traced r< the war it
self.
-N'o other great nation so needed
a sharp check upon drunkenness.
So other country has been given
so drastic a dose of enforced ab
stinence.

WOUNDED IN BATTLE.
Military Hospitals Do Not Kill Therm
as In the Old Days.
Easily two-thirds ot the pain and
sutlerinj: endured by the wounded ta
war is not due to the wouuds them
selves or to the process nt bealitlg. but
suppuration and in feet ion, and all
tiiis has been absolutely wiped out by
antiseptic surgery.
What inUitary hospitals were like in
the pre-antrseptlc days beggars descrip
tlon and eati hardly even be Imagined,
let alone believed, at the present day
Marlborough's surgeon in the fatuous
Blenheim campaign declared that hos
pitals were llie most important cause
of death And a famous l-'reuch sur
geou in I'll declared that he had
known vastly more men to die in the
hospitals from lack of care than to lose
their lives in combat, and that "hos
pitals are an UiilatlKunable gulf; the
source of their horrors appears to be
Inexhaustible."* Two patients in each
bed was the rule and often three or
even four. The hospitals were literally
brecdiug places for disease. The dead
ly typhus fever u»ed to be known as
hospital fever, while typhoid, dysen
tery. erysipelas and gangrene fairly
rau riot in them ISrowning's charac
terization of the medieval hospital as
"that good house that hei|is the |>oor
to die'' was painfully accurate.
Eveu as late as our war between the
states, when the dreaded hospital gau
grene once put In au appearance in a
ward it was a sentence of death to be
sent into that ward with an open
wound, and in some instances from
40 to CO per cent of ail the inmates
actually died. I'p to and indeed dur
ing the Napoleonic wars anywhere
from 20 to tW per cent ot the wounded
died. Today any army medical serv
ice that loses more thau 5 to 0 per ceut
of its wounded considers Itself dis

BORN A FIGHTER.
A French General Who Loved His Sol
diers and Proved It.
Many men have been good soldiers
and brave commanders who. neverthe
less, bad no relish for fighting. Gen
eral Oudinot. famous In the wars of
Xapcieon. w::s a warrior of another
type. He svemcd. at all events, to
lovo war for its own sake, flis fiery
temper and bis ideal of a soldier are
well exemplified in the following:
In July. 1S0C>. when Oudinot was thir
ty-eight years old. the emperor review
ed the grenadiers at their camp at
Boulogne. The customary maneuvers
were performed, and at the end Gen
eral Oudinot. in command of the gren
adiers, started to march at the head
of the line before Napoleon. He put
the spurs to his horse. and the steed
balked. The struggle was brief, for
the exasperated general drew his
sword and gave the horse such a stab
In the neck that in auother momenl
the horse lay stretched upon the sand
That night the commander of the1
grenadiers dined with the emperor, ami
in the course of the meal Napoleon
said:
"Is that the way you treat yuur
horses?"
"Sire." said Oudinot. "when any one
knows not how to obey that is nn
method."
The other story is even more griui
Some one spoke to Oudinot about the
deep affection which a general must
cherish for his devoted troops.
"Love them!" lie exclaimed. "Do I
love them? All. I think I do. I have
had theni all killed!"
There spoke the born fighter, who
shirked no danger himself, and ac
counted it the most enviable lot of a
solder to die on the field.—Washington
