Do not think for a single
moment tint consumption will
ever strike you a sudden blow.
It does not come that tqf.
It creeps its way along.
First, you think l^s a little
cold; nothing but a little hack-
ing cough; tl'tn a little loss in
weight: then a harder cough;
then tne fever and the night
sweats.
The suddenness comes when
you have a hemorrhage.

The table is made perfectly level, and

Tank.
At Asti, Sonoma county, Cal., a few
months ago, a hundred couples took
part in a danee which was given tn
a great half-mlllion-gallon wine tanlt
belonging to the Italian-Swiss colony
at Astl. Such a scene has never before
teen witnessed, for the reason that the
opportunity was for the first lime pre-
sented. The Asti wine reservoir or
tank is the largest, if not the only, ex-
ample of its kind in the world, it was
constructed last year as a matter of
necessity, and somewhat as an experi-
ment, from inability to obtain cooper-
age for the wine crop which the San
Francisco merchants refused to pur-
chase. It was quickly oxcavated anil
lined with concrete, and, upon its
completion, was immediately put to
the use for which it was intended,
fiince then it has been emptied, and
while awaiting its refilling the Italian-
Swiss colony concluded to give a ball
in the monster tank. There was room

Major If. O. Hcistand, Assistant Adju-
tant General. Major Heistand gives
faCt?  rid fty.ireg concerning the mili-
tary department since its organization,
during the war of the revolution.
Some of his statistics are very inter-
esting. During the revolution the
number of individuals actually in mil-
itary Bervice did not exceed 250,000; in
the war of 1812 there were 471,622, of
which C.2,674 were regulars; in the war
with Mexico there were 116,321, of
which 42,545 were regulars; in the war
of the rebellion there were 2,259,168
United States tro pa of whom 178,975
were colored, and 67,000 regulars, the
total being 2,326,168: In the war with
Spain there were 219,035 volunteers,
(10,18ft being colored) and 55,682 reg-
ulars. a total of 274,717. Major Hei-
stand also gives the Lumber killed,
wounded and lost and the deaths from
disease in each war, including the In-
dian wars, and other important facts.
