ARMY ECONOMY. The kind Of economy
which CoDgres has acted upon in dealing
with expenditures for she maintenance Of
the army does not appear to be based up
on an intelligent understanding Of the
subject. I'll, re- has been a niggartlly,
'hort-sighted attempt ut eifecting saving
by metlod+, which, IN the Iong run, have
proved costly and extravagant. BY refiis-
ij.g to authorize reasonable increase In
the number OF enlisted men, the necessity
has been created for transporting troops
loI 6 distances at great exl ense. For In
stance. there can be 10 question at all that
10 have increased the rank and file of the
army last year to tie extent of say 5000
men, SO that the garrisons In places where
troops were needed would have been
strong enough for all exigencies, would
have involved much ,e's expense than was
incurred by transporting little squads OF
men great distance, By railroad and other
modes Of conveyance. Moreover, the
troops would have been Immediately avail
able wherever they were needed to pre-
vent Indian outrages or for any other pur-
pose. The expense incurred by the Gov
ernment during the last nine months In
moving handfuIs Of troops from one place
to another in compliance with urgent o.
caI demands was probably far greater than
would have sufliced to Increase the army
to such an extent as to render it practic?
BILE to maintain garrisons and military
posts at every point where difficulties
with the Indians could be reasonably an =
ticipated.

STABBlNG AFFKAY.-Quite an excite
ment was raised here OH Saturday after
noon last, about five O'Clock. A man
named McGraw and a sailor named Nc
D0nnell had fearful fmnd to hand ELL
counter in front of the Cosmopolitan ho-
tel, the former using knife with terrible
effect upon the latter. Both men were
formerly from Seattle. It seems that they
had been gambling u few days previous,
and report says that they had quarreled
and fought about alleged cheating. FL
naily the climax was reached on Saturday,
when an alterca tiOn. .arose In which Ne
Graw drew a knife with which he cut aud
slashed his opponent about the head, neck
aud shoulders, intiicting some thirteen
different wounds upon him. rhc fight
took place in the midst of large crowd,
and several persons, IL is said, interfered to
get the knife away or separate the COM
batants, but were prevented from so do
ipg by painter named Ch rles Otto.
Immediately after the tracas Sheriff Miller
arrested McGraw and the p;it'r also,
taking them to Jail. Mcdonnell was
placed under the care of DR.. Gassaway.
who took him to the Marine Hospital
where his wounds were dressed. 1t is
thought that he will recover although

Says writer in London Truth: I hap
pened, in response to pressing invitation,
to find myself in law court one day re-
Gently, when a curious mode of cheating at
faro was shown. The game was played
thus: Thirteen cards are spread on the
table, that is to say, an entire suit. A pack
Of cards is shufiled by the banker, then cut
by the player, when the banker proceeds to
draw the cards, one after another, from the
pack, first removing one. IF q player has
put stake on any one of the cards which
have been laid out upon the table, he wins,
provided its equivalent is an odd card in the
pack, and he loses if it is an even one. Now
it would seem impossible that player could
cheat the banker. This is, however, how it
is done: In shutting the banker generally
shows the bottom card. When he hands
the pack to be cut, the player cuts An even
number of cards, SO that when the cut is put
back by the banker, the player knows that
what was the bottom card will be an odd
one, and knowing also what that card viii
be, can stake upon it with certainty that
it will win. But how does he cut the num-
ber of cards that he chooses? By very
simple process. One side of the nail of the
thumb is allowed to grow straight, and .
little notch is made in it. Provided the
length of the nail from the notch to the end
be always kept the same, and that he presses
the nail against the cards in cutting, he
must always take up exactly the same num-
Der of cards.

THE CHINESE ARMY.

Numerically of considerable strengtfz the
Chinese army has ut present but little fight
ing value. The Chinese soldier is naturally
brave, and the men recruited in the north
ern districts of the Empire are full of vigor
and energy; but the troops are practically
totally uninstructed in military duties.
That this should be the case is proba-
bly, mainly owing to the inferiority of
the Chinese officers. "They are," says a
French writer, "below all criticism" and
that they are SO must be ascribed to the low
esteem in which the profession of arms is
held in China. "You would not" runs .
Chinese saying, "take good iron to make
into nails, and you would not take man
worth anything at all to make into SOL
dier" A man need not be in any way edu-
Gated to obtain a commission but on the
other hand he must be an athlete. Garry
ing and throwing heavy weights, the use of
the sword and shooting with the bow, both
on foot and on horseback, are the subjects
in which a man desirous of obtaining COM
mission is examined. Under these ciEcum-

BRADY,S LEAP.

About the year 1850, q party of whites,
under Captain Samuel Brady, pursued a
marauding party of Indians to their village
on the Cuyahoga in Summit county; but,
being surprised and put to fight by the. enc
my, by some means Brady became sepa-
rated from his party, and was in turn pur-
sued by the whole band of sayages. Ap-
preaching the rocky chasms Of the Cuya-
hoga river, and realizing that his life de-
panded ON the leap, he conoentrated .his
whole strength, and cleared the chasm by q
single leap. At the point where the leap
was made the shelving rocks overhung the
river, and made the width of the chaunel
twenty-one or twenty-five feet. Struck
dumb with amazement, it was some time
before the pursuers collected thought
enough to fire upon him, and then strike for
the ford, some distance below. Wounded,
and profusely bleeding, Brady ran to the
lake which bears his name, and eluded his
enemies by secreting himself in the waters
of the lake. Chagrined at the escape of
their expected captive, the Indians returned
to the scene of the leap, and after consulta-
ton decided that the '@pale-faoe was no
man, but turkey, and that he few across
the stream. As record of this decision, .

carved ON the rock from which thesleap was
made. In 1856 the stone bearing this in

ATTRACTIVE PACKAGES.

The ultimate object in raising fruit for
market is to get the most money out of it
possible. How can the largest returns be
had9 Passing over the propagation of va
rieties, the cost in labor, the ceaseless vigi-
lance, and coming to the fruitage, the ques-
ton of marketing the product is presented.
The first requisite is clean, attractive
package. A neat box goes far toward So
curing ready sale for the fruit it contains
Dry, well-seasoned boxes are desirable,
since fruit is easily affected by odors, and
sooner decays when in contact with mois.
ture than when shipped in q dry package.
The boxes should be obtained early in the
season.
Another thing, and one wherein much de-
pends is the advantage of asserting the fruit
SO as to secure uniformity in the package in
appearance and quality. 1t should be borne
in mind that good, bad and Indifferent fruit
in one package renders it undesirable and
materially Affects the price. The vicious
practice of putting good fruit at the top of
the package and that of poor quality at the
bottom Injuries the sale and the reputation
of the grower. Whatever the kind of fruit,
let it be as uniform as may be in size and
color The packages should also be full, SO
that the fruit will not move about and be-
come injured by rubbing and abraiding,
which affects its value. II these things are
neglected the result will disappoint the
shippers expectations if he expects to get q
good price for his product, while, ON the
other hand, if care and pains are taken to
market it, as suggested, the top of the cur.
rent prices will generally be realized
