there werc %, 707 applications to enter
the regular army last year, when only
5000 were wanted. Of the 5000 who
were accepted, 8, AL were born in Amer

and next IN order were Pennsylvania 474,
Ohio 307, Maryland 255, Virginia 200,
Indiana 140, and Kentucky l40 No
other State furnished as many as 80.
Connecticut contributed So. These fig
ures are as regards nativity. not resi-
dence. Massachusetts, did not have q
third as many as Tennessee. OF the
1,565 foreign-born enlistments, Ireland
furnished $50, Germany 447, England
1856 Canada 155, and no other country
so many as SO. New York State, it may
be mentioned, gave more than any for
eign country, and more than all the
Southern States together. Farmers are

under-hight. On the other hand tat
men are plentier than lean, for 207 we're
rejected for Overweight" and only
1856 for under-weight. The chief Of
all causes for rejection was intemper-
ance, which caused q. T08 to be turned
away from the recruiting station.
About 900 applicants were rejected be-
cause they were rendered worthless for
service through diseases due to their
own immortality. 1t Is rather tough
picture. While about $500 were reject
ed as minors, 1000 were turned away as
over age; and thirty-two branded de-
serters applied for readmission.

The President of the United States
cannot be arrested If he commits any
high crime or misdemeanor he can be
impeached by the House, tried by the
Senate, and If convicted can be removed
from Office. After removal from Office
he can be arrested and tried, the same
as any other citizen, for any crime which
he had committed while in Office. If
the President could be arrested ON
charges preferred against him, any petty
magistrate might endanger the peace Of
the country.

members of the State geological survey,

THE origin of the game of philopena
is said to have been as follows The
people OF Alsace and Lorraine were for
merly under German rule, as they now
are but while part Of France they
lost in great measure the use OF the
German language, and what they re-
tanned became corrupt. 1t was an Old
custom among them for young couples
30 engage themselves by eating the
halves of double almonds, and then to
salute each other as "wen beloved
each time they met. The word in Ger
man was vjeSite6chen, but, having for
gotten the meaning OF this word, they
gradually changed into "phiDipo,
which sounds like it, and philippine. "
THE first meteoric shower which at
tracted attention IN modern times was
that Witnessed by the Moravian mission
aries in Greenland, in 1899. This phe-
nomenon was observed over a wide ex-
tent of territory. Humboldt, then travel
ing in South America, said: "Toward
the morning of November ID, most ex-
traordinary scene of shooting stars was
seen. Thousands of bodies and falling
stars succeeded each other during four
hours. Their direction was very regular
from north to south; from the begin
ming Of the shower there was not space
in the armament equal In extent to three
diameters of the moon which was not
filed every instant with bodies of falling
stars. All the meteors left luminous
traces or phosphorescent bands behind
them, which lasted seven or eight sec.

Water for Cows In Pasture.

For milch cows it is very neccs-
sary that the water for them is
pure, otherwise it taints the milk,
aud from this neither good butter
cheese can be made. Where there
is not abundance Of clear, running
water in yard or pasture, it should
be supplied from wells or eistcrns.
II drunk from standing pools or
small ponds, the water is always
more or less foul, or so staguant
as to be unpalatablc, and at times
even unhealthfnl. In order TO oh.
tain a full flow OF milk cows must
have all the water they willnatu--
ally drink at morning, noon and
night, otherwise they vii! net give
full messcs Of milk, nor will it be
Of SO. good quality. But a ruun-
Ing stream, more especially When
at pasture, where they can gn aud
drink at pleasure, is still better
than that drawn from wells for
them three times per day, at regu-
lar intervals. Necessity, however,
often compcls the latter course.
Some dairymen, IN order 10 in
crease the Aow of milk, stimulate
their cows to drink al extra guam
tito ofwater, by extra sailing their
food or stirring u small quantity
of bran or meal IN it,. But this 10
Objectionable, inasm uoh asit tends
