The System of Military Signals in the
Indian Territory.

The st. Louis Republican of the 10th
says: Sergt. Charles DTummOnd, u. ;.
Signal Sergeant at Cheyenne AgeAcy, in
Indian Territory, arrived Saturday morn
ing and stops at the st. James. BY a sys-
tenn of signals of which he had the super
intendence at the Agency intelligence is
conveyed nearly instantly from station to
station, sixteen miles apart. The signal
stations are established on eminences and
the operators hold communication with
each other by means of flags and teles-
copes. The letters of the alphabet are
signaled by certain motions of the flag, up
and down, to the right and left, and at a
variety of angles sufficient TO express the
letters of word. At the end of a word
the motion is downward, and the same
motion is made rapidly three times at the
close Ofa sentence. On extremely dark
and cloudy days white flag is used; on
clear days a red flag, and on unusually
bright and sunshiny days black flag Is
used. The station receiving the signals
reads them by the telescope. Written or
ders with the signatures of the command
ing officers are dispatched, and rs veriti-
citiOn of their accuracy they are repeated
back to the station from which they are
sent.
OH Tile arrival vi Illc CdpllNC OtIlildlilt
girls, Sergeant DrummOnd transmitted
full information to Gen. Neil from the
nearest station sixteen miles from the
post, and the General was in full posses
sion of the details in less than five min
utes.
The two elder Germaine girls are still
at the Cheyenne Agency. The story of
their wrongs and the outrages committed
on them by the savages has elected the
sympathy of all in their behalf, and the
soldiers at the post have contributed fund
of over 5000 for their relief. Sergeant
Drummond brings with him the photo
graphs of the two girls-one aged 10, the
other 10, the two younger girls beiEg al
ready at Fort Leavenworth where they
are sent to school. The photographs
show the girls to be quite gOod-lOOking
and lady-like in appearance.
Sergeant DrummOnd left the Agency on
the 4th inst. nc which time sll the Chey-
ennes who stampeded after the recent
fight have returned and delivered them
selves up, except seventeen braves, who
are still out in the brush.

The Mysteries of the Female Toilette.

The --latest novelty in wOman's attire
does not sound comfortable. She has, it
seems, adopted a garment in which it is
almost impossible to walk or sit down, or
to enter a carriage. and which can only be
worn by throwing the body into the most
powerful cOntOrtions according to the in
structiOns specially given by the dress
makers who manufacture it. The Paris
correspondent of the Queen gives the fol-
lowing account of this new article of dress:
9 Demi-trains," says the correspondent,
1" are inconvenient for the street, and even
for getting into a carriage, and they go so
tied back and banded with elastic that
walking, and, above all. sitting down are
not the easy, careless movements Of yOre.
Some dressmakers give Instructions as to
the management of the demi-trains. The
best manner of gathering up the train is
to turn to the right, bending slightly
backwards, and to take hold Of the dress
as low down as possible. When you
straighten and stand upright again the
skirt will be slightly lifted, and thus be-
come no longer than a short costume.
When YOU wish to let the skirt trail again
you must throw it back with a sweep of
the right hand. This will be found
much more graceful way of preserving
the train from contact with the streets
than by lifting it on each side with both
hands. Man dressed in coat or pair of
trousers involving so much trouble and
agony would hardly feel up to perform
ing those duties which woman kindly
proposes to take on her own hands. She
is. however, very strong minded, and de
lights in a life of active occupation. ."-PaD

Portrait of POcahOntas.

The Richmond Journal says that DR..
James Beale has deposited in the State
Library Of Virginia. portrait OF the In
dian Princes POcahOntas. to whom many
of the leading Virginia families trace their
origin. The paper says this portrait
makes POcahOntas very pretty woman
of about 20 years of age, and clothed in
the uppermOst tOggery prevalent in the
nation of her father, King POwhatan. The
portrait deposited BY DR.. Beale is an ex-
act copy by the elder Sully, made in 1880,
of an original portrait of POcahontas,
painted between the years 1916 and 1917.
during her visit to England, in company
with her husband John ROlfe. The re-
mains of the original portrait were in 1s43
in possession of DIR. Robinson, in Peters
burg. Thomas Role, a son Of Pocahon-
tas, was born at Plymouth, England, in
1916, soon after his brother arrived there,
and his mother died at Gravesend in 1917.
Her son, after his arrival at mans estate,
returned to Virginia and married and
died leaving an only child, John Boiling,
whose daughter, Jane, married Richard
Randolph, of Carles, IN the County OF
Henrico, State Of Virginia. Ryland Ran
dolph, son of the latter, procured rem
England the original portraits OF Jonn'
ROlfe and PocaEIsntas and placed them
where they hung for many years IN his
mansion at Turkey Island. MI han-
dolph died in 1874, when both pictures
passed into the possession OF Thomas Boil
ing. OF COb5s, in Chesterfield County.
These pictures are named in an enumefA.

Mark Twain at q Hartford Spelling
Match.


Ladies and gentlemen: | have been hOE-
Ored with the Office of Introducing these
approaching photographed solemnities
with few remarks. The Temperance
crusade swept the land some time ago
that is, that vast portion of the land where
it was needed-but it skipped Hartford.
Now comes this new spelling epidemic
and this time we are stricken. So | sup
pose we needed the af1lictiOn. | don't say
we needed it, for don't see any use in
spelling a word right-and never cid. l
mean | don't see any use in having a uni
form and arbitrary way of spelling words.
We might as well make all clothes alike
and cook all dishes alike. SameneSs is
tiresOme variety is pleasing. | have a
correspondent whose letters are always
refreshment to me, there is such breezy,
unfettered originality about his OrthO-
graphy. He always spells kOw with a
large X. Now hat is just as good as to
spell it with small one. 1t is better. 1t
gives the Imagination a broader field,
wider scope. 1t suggests to the mind
grand, vague, impressive, new kind OF
COW. Superb effects can be produced by
variegated spelling. Now there is blind
Tom, the musical prodigy. He always
spells word according to the sound that
is carried to his ear. And he is an enthu-
siast in orthOgraphy. When you give
him a word he shouts it outputs all his
soul into it. l once heard him called up
on 10 spell orang-outang before an
audience. He said, 40, rang, orang.
ger. ger, Orangger, tang tang, ,OranggeI-
tang!" Now a body can respect an
orang-outang that spells his name in
vigorous way like that. But the feeble
dictionary makes a mere kitten of him.
In the old times people spelled just as
they pleased. That was the right idea.
You had two chances at a stranger then.
You knew strong man from weak one
by his irOn-clad spelling, and his hand
writing helped you to verify your verdict.

How He Left Town.

The Vallejo (Cal.) CtronicA relates the
following incident concerning Vallejo
minstrel: When we remarked in Fridays
issue of the troubles encountered by the
Vallejo Minstrel Troupe at Suisun, Cali
fornia, that they were totally busted, we
were not strictly accurate. One of their
number reveled in thepossession of 81 40.
As soon as the fact spread among the re-
naming members of the company, every
m2n of them made dash to borrow it.
This capitalist, however, didn't care about
going into the banking business just then,
and, to get rid of the opportunities, de-
cided to desert. He made break for the
county road, with the calculation of chang
ing his minstrel part and assuming the
character of Weston in his great walking
feat, with Vallejo as the place for the cur
tain to drop. He found the road extreme
ly level, and considered it the best walking
he had seen for some time. The scenery,
after while. seemed little monOtonous;
but then he wasn't travelling to inspect the
beauties of the landscape, and the road
still continued as fine as ever. Just as he
was beginning to think that it was time
to see Vallejo heave in sight, morning be-
gan to dawn, and. as the gray light made
objects more visibles what was his dismay
and horror to see the town of Fairfield
near by. and himself in the middle of the
Fairfield race-track! He had been walk
ing around it all night.

to-day thousands of buncheS, in all stages
of development, from the little miniature
buds to the we'll matured fruit six or seven
inches long. Many of those lunches con-
tain l25 bananas, which sen readily TO
shippers at two cents each, from which
may be inferred the great profits of BAN
ana culture.
An acre of ground will readily support
600 plants Suppose the bunehes to aver
age 70 bananas each, and we have an
annual income of 5000 from single acre.
The cost of preparing and enriching the
ground and setting the plants the first
year, including the cost of the slips, will
average, say, 81 per plant, leavinga profit
of $500; but they perpetuatc themselves
after the first year, and require but little
expenditure. Besides the shoots that
spring up from the bulbOus root stool,
will supply plants enough to double the
ground each year; or they nfay be sold
for more than enough to pay for all ex-
penses after the first year, thus leaving the
$500 net for the second and succeeding
years.
Humboldt states that an amount of land
that will produce 600 pounds OfpOtatOes
will yield A, 600 pounds of bananas, and a
surface bearing wheat enough to feed one
man will yield bananas enough TO feed
men.-Atianta Herald.

Novel Theory of Ocean Currents.

DIR. Carpenter. an eminent English
savan, who has been engaged in hydro
graphic researches in the employ of the
Royal Navy, has made a discovery which
is analogous to that of Harvey. He has
found that the ocean, like the blood in the
animal system, circulates regularly. The
poles supply the place Of heart, and the
motive power is the action of heat and
cold. The intensely cold water of the
Arctic and Antarctic regions is continually
moving toward the equator, the warmer
water from which latitude flows north
ward and southwark. 1t - singular that
the same important item of scientific in
formation was contributed by n Russian
named Leus fifty years ago. but dropped
entirely out of the history of science. His
theory is expressed in terms almost iden-
tical with those used by DR.. Carpenter,
though the latter cOald not have known
of the existence of such a theory.

An Australian Storm.

A remarkable railway accident occurred
in Queensland in January. During a
great storm a train from ToowOomba 70
Warwick had just passed the CambOoya
Station when blast of wind Of hurricane
force lifted the carriages bodily of the
line, breaking the couplings connecting
them with the engine. The saloon car
riage, in which Sir Redmond Barry, acting
Chief Justice of Victoria. was travelling,
which was next the engine, and the com
posite carriage, which followed it, turned
over on their side. and the latter. presery-
ing It's impetus, teleseoped into the end of
the saloon, smashing the woodwork and
projecting a number Of formidable splint-
ers where a moment before the distin-
guished traveller had been seated. The
carriage next in order settled at an angle
of about G5 deg, while the remaining
wagons preeipitated from the track came
TO a stop in all sorts Of positions. For
tunately no one sustained any very seri-
Gus injuTy.-LOndos. Times.

The Man who Swallowed an Alligator.

The Lyons iowa AdUnti8er of the
18th says: We have read of Jonah being
swallowed By the whale and after ruminat-
ing and feasting in that aquatic animal for
three days and nights, was delivered safe
ly on dry land again, but never b, fore
have we seen a man who could swallow
an alligator, and give him peaceful posses
sion of his stomach for three years, until
we were introduced yesterday to both the
man and the alligator, at the ro ms of DR..
Cannon, in Clinton The victim Of this
mOnstroSity is colored man by the name
of Thomas ID. Gaines, resident of Gin
ton for more than six years, and generally
known. Tom related the facts substan-
TALLY as follows: Il felt something in
my stomach for about three years, which
sometimes made me very sick. could
not endure my clothes to be drawn tight
upon me. My stomach became very sore,
and at times elected green slime. Dur
ing the last year or more | was obliged to
get up at midnight and drink milk to stop
the raging in my stomach" This thing,
which is about foW inches Iong-yet,
neither beast, bird nor devil, resembles
the alligator, except the head, which is
like that of a frog. 1t has scales upon its
entire body and legs. 1t has also long
claws with which. Tom says, it has been
scratching the very Intervals out of him
for three years. The pet of Toms now
corked up in a small jar, is minus the end
of its tail. Tom says he elected the tail
af,er he went home. These statements are
facts supported by affidavits, which are in
our possession, of a number who were
present when the animal was elected.

The Gains Of Professional Men.

A writer in one of our weeklies reasons
that while superiority cannot be gained by
all, every one can hope TO reach the aver
age level of success. Beginning with the
working classes, we find that among me-
chanics and manual labOrers generally.
the average earnings are not above SD
per week. Even skilled labOrers and fore
men do not receive above S4 day, or
81, 200 a year. When the internal revenue
tax on incomes was first laid, it was fOurd
that the receipts of salaried men under
thirty years of age in mercantile life was
81 900, while those between thirty and
forty averaged 81 600. The number who
earned more than this was fourd very
small in comparison TO the whole body of
business men. Cases of very high salaries
are always exceptional. Among profess
siOnal men the same ratio exists. Law
yers' clerks are generally paid 5000 year,
while young practitioners do not earn on
the average more than 81 800 year. In
this lucrative profession comparatively
few men have incomes above $4,000,
While the average falls below 6,000. The
wide gap between the highest gains of
professional and other men, and the aver
age pay of the same professions will be
seen by the following details. The largest
income of any city lawyer is said to have
been made by David Dudly Field, and
was said to be 100000, while the average
among the bar generally would be about
$4,000. In the ministry. Henry Ward
Beecher has a salary of $4,000, while
number of clergymen receive $4,000, and
more receive s., 200; but $3.50 is the av-
erage salary of the city clergy. Medical
income covers wide variety. DIR. CarnO-
chan h charged s., 600 for one operation,
and the fees of a number of physicians

Prevention of Mildew.

1t is said on seemingly good authority
that mixture of molasses and water liber-
ally sprinkled on plant will destroy the
mildew, the theory being that thin film
of sugar is left on leaves and branches by
the evaporation of water. This deprives
the mildew of air and kills il. 1t would in
time injure the plant, but the next rain or
thorough watering washes it offand leaves
the breathing places once more open.
The application should be made as
promptly as possible, and in any case it is
likely that some back spots will remain
on the leaves, where the mildew has
wrought its work on the exterior cuticle
The proportions may be about six parts
water to four of molasseS, but absolute ac-
curacy is not essential. A weak solution
Of common glue is also recommended,
the action and effect being the same as
with molasses.-C Christian Union.
