Report Of the Secretary of War.

The annual report Of the Secretary
Of War concurs in the recommendation
OF General Sherman to increase the
number OF enlisted men to - 600, and
also TO abandon minor posts throughout
the west and northwest and concen
trate the forces at permanent strategic
points.
The Mississippi jetties are referred to
a. complete success in opening an
uninterrupted channel to the ocean
from the Mississippi valley.
The secretary endorses the recon.
mendation of the adiutant general in
relation to placing the uniformed State
militia upon the same footing in respect
70 It's rules and forms as the regular
forces. and calls attention to the neces.
sity OF providing by legislation for the
organization, arming and disciplinlng
of the militia.
Of coast defence the secretary says
From personal inspection of many of
the Notifications referred to by the
chief of engineers am able to emDha.
else his recommendations, and beg to
state that their incomplete and de.
fenceless condition is dlscredItuble to
the country. Judging from the history
Of III other nations, snd the experience
Of our own, the United States will, not.
wilhstanding our traditional pacific
policy, find itself sooner or later at war
With a maritime power. When that
war comes it will come suddenly. There
vii be no time after its declaration TO
construct defences, either fixed or
noating. Other nations have been for
some years and are now constructing
fast var steamers Of enormous size, en-.
cased in iron arnor up to two feet in
fhiekness, and armed with rlfled guns
weighing up to one hundred tons, car.
rying shot OF tons weight, fired with
little short OF quarter OF a ton Of
powder. II is found that the country
does not appreciate the fact that after
the declaration Of war, few days, or
even hours, might bring these great
eneines of destruction to our coasts. 1t
mag be to New York, or Boston. Port.
land, or Baltimore. or New Orleans, or
San francisco. or any other point the
enemy may select. No one can estimate
the damage which may follow.

Perhaps the most justly celebrated
cheese made on the continent of Europe
is the Swiss Gruyere. This is made
mostly in huts, called chalets, high up
among the Alps, at the time during
which the pastures on the mountain
sides are accessible, and the huts habit
able, say from the melting of snow in
May to the end of September, when
men and animals descend for the winter
into the sheltered valleys thousands of
feet below. The chalets are located in
the midst of the mountain pastures on
a spot safe from avalanches, and gene
rally near to a small pond or spring of
water, when such are available. Pro-
visions from the valleys are carried up
weekly TO the chalets, and it is under
such difficult and romantic circumstan-
ceS that a cheese is made which for
hundreds of years has been considered
almost if not quite the best cheese ON
the continent. The milk, partly skim
med, or not, according to the quality Of
cheese desired To be made. i put into =
great kettle and swung on a crane over
a gentle fire, where it is allowed to at
tain a temperature of II degrees Fair,
when the kettle is swung off the fire and
rennet is added to the milk When CO
agulatiOn has advanced far enough, the
curd is cut into as fine pieces as is prac-
ticable with the large wooden knife
which is used for the purpose The
kettle is then swung over the fire again,
and the curd is taken up in small guam
titles on a POrringer, and poured back
through the fingers, whereby it Is still
more finely divided. Great importance
is attached to this division of the curd,
in or Ter that each particle may be fully
exposed to the action of the heat in the
cooking process, which ensues up to
a point when a temperature OF go de-
grees has been attained. The kettle is
then Immediately swung off the fire,
and the waste of curd and whey stirred
for some fifteen minutes longer; and if
the cooking has been performed, the
particles of curd have the appearance

Miss Flynn's Lover.

Troy Times.
Miss Mary Flynn was studying medi-
cine and being courted at the same time.
Mr.. William Budd was attending to the
latter part of the business.
One evening while they were sitting
together in the parlor, Mr.. Budd was
thinking how he should manage to pro-
pose. Miss Flynn was explaining GER
tain physiological facts to him.
"Do YOU know" she said, that thou

that they smell with their Olfactory pen

"And Aunt Mary wouldn't believe me

sphir cter!''
''Indeed?"

"Oh, Mr.. Budd, it is too bad for you
to make light of such a subject"
Then he tried it, and while he held
her hand she explained to him about the
muscles of that portion of the human
body.
1T is remarkable how much you
know about those things" said Mr..
Budd-' really wonderful Now, for
example, what is the bone at the back
of the head called?"
''Why, the occipital bone, of course -
"And what are the names of the mus
cles of the arms?'
''The spiralls and the infra-spiralis
among Others"
"Well, now, let me show you what
mean. When put my iu-fra-spiralis,
around your waist, so, is it your Occipi-
tai bone that rests upon my shoulder
blade in this way?'
"My back hair, primarily, but the Oc-
cipital bone, of course, afterward. But,
oh, Mr.. Budd, suppose pa should come
in and see usr'
'Let him come. Who cares?" said
Mr.. Budd, boldly. 81 think I'll exercise
a sphincter and take kiss"
''Mr Budd, how can yOu?" said Miss
Flynn, after he had performed the feat.
Don't call me Mr.. Budd-call me
Willie" he said, drawing her closer.
''You accept me, don't you? l know
you do, darling"
Willie" whispered Miss Flynn, very

A Base ImDOStOr.


Shortly before o'clock the other aft
ernOOn a farmer from the vicinity of
Hampstead appeared in front of the stock
exchange and entered into conversation
with citizen who was waiting at the
door, by asking:
THE convention in there breaks up at
3 o'clock, don't it?"
Eyes, that's the hour was the reply.
"'Do you know Jay Gould when you
see him?''
''Oh, yes"

Il presume So"
''Well, | wish you'd point him out to
me when he comes out"
The citizen promised to do this, and
within few minutes he kept his word
The farmer took square look at the
railroad and telegraph prince and then
turned and said:
"Are you dead sure?"
''Oh, yes"

"Well it's about as | suspected. A
few days ago great big slough of fell

read of Jay Gould, but | did't know

build one as big as a palace and take
care of all the orphans in the country. y
And, of course, you treated him
weIl?'
Didn't 1? Why, for three days he
lived on the fat of the land and slept in
the parlor BEDROOM! He was going to

way we killed chickens and turned out
sweet cake for him made the old woman
sick. He finally Jumped the house and

That's what l thought. and so came

"Wall, it looks that way, but the ex-

Children and Work.

Henry Ward Beecher.
Parents that bring into life children
and have nothing for them to do are
not so happy, nor are they So fortunate,
as parents who bring into life children
that have to labor more or less from when
they are five or six years old in or
der to help exc out the subsistence of
the family; for occupation is Gods
shield against temptation in childhood
life Where wealth brings leisure, and
refinement breeds enjoyment, there are
many considerations of very vital i'm
portance to parents. 1t is hard to bring
up children that have no pressure on
them and that have nothing to do but to
seek enjoyment. Enjoyment is law of
God; but wholesome enjoyment is to be
coupled with the fulfllment of right du-
ties. When, therefore, children are
reared so that they must rise early, and
so that they are wrought upon through
the whole day, and are fatigued, they
must 90 to bed early. The ploughman's
boy that has been afield from six in the
morning until seven in the evening, and
is thoroughly tired, will dispense with
great many evening amusements that
bctide the boy of the man of leisure;
and there are a great many anxieties
which need not trouble the farmer in re-
gard TO his boy, but which harass the
mat of leisure. in regard to his boy.
Gises your boys as much wholesome
sxork as they need and see that they do
It, sTreat them as you do colts. If colts
Staad in the stable eating oats most of
the time they become undrivable; but
take away their oats, or diminish them,
and they viii need no regimen but that.
The labor of children should be adapted
TO their nature and TO their capacity.
Children that are taught from their
childhood up to take care of every day
thrifty. and to turn every hour to seme
good account, do not have one-temp ta-
ton, where five hundred wait upon the
children of leisure.

A Thick.Skinned Rogue.


If we NAV estimate the thickness of
Mr.. Joseph Schmaulzbauer's skin by
his capacity for enduring castigation, as
demonstrated in the official record of
the punishments administered 10 him
during his term of service in the Aus
trian army, this Observation-Disclosures
warrior may fairly claim kinship to the
hardest-hided rhinoceros that ever flat
tened a bullet on its flank. None, sure
ly, but pachyderm could have surviv-
ed the infection of 10000 stripes with
the military cat, supplemented by 335
Slashing blows applied to the neither
part of him by the five-foot rattan of an
imperial royal provost. At Schmaulz-
bauer's trial for burglary, last week,
before the Viennese Landesgericht, how
ever, it was proved beyond doubt that
he had been verberated to this extent
while with his regiment; which fact
points to the Inference that he must have
been a special favorite with his COM
manding officer, for is it not written
lat "Who loves well chastises well?''
Since quitting the army, moreover,
this thick-skinned pet of his military
superiors had at different times suffered
Is years incarceration for eccentricities
of conduct, regarded by the laws of his
country as Incompatible with his being
at large. Finally, the tribunal which
elected, in evidence, these curious de-
tails of his past career, sentenced him
to solitary confinement for a further
term of five years. Whether as a SOL
der or as civilian, it would certainly
appear that Joseph Schmaulzbauer has
had a remarkably rough time'' of it
for,the last quarter of century or so.

Thunder Storms in South Africa.

Natal is an awful country for thunder
and lightning, writes correspondent
of Land and Water" and never a
summer passes without some damage
being done to both man and beast. No
house is considered quite safe without a
conductor. MaritZburg is rather noted
for its thunder storms, and although L
have seen one or perhaps two instances
of the tall blue gums of the city that
had been scared from head to foot
by the lightning, vet, when it is cOnsid-
cred how numerous they are, how fire.
uuently these thunder storms occur, and
how awfully near the lightning APP
proaches, it was astonishing how few of
them had been strnck. From this fact
/ should say that the blue gum tree Of
fers peculiar attraction to the electric
fluid; though from the cases mentioned,
where the trees had been scorched but
not shivered, they would seem to have
acted as conductors. While on the sub
iect of thunder and lightning, / may
mention two instances of the freaks
some times INDUCED in by the latter.
One happened on board ship on voy-
age TO Australia, when one of the boys
standing near the foot of the main mast
or main rigging, / forget which, was
knocked down by the fluid. He remain
ed in a stupefied state for some time, but
recovered. The lightning had made a
bald patch on the crown of his head,
and torn the iron heels off his boots. 1t
was several years after the accident that
| made the acquaintance of the boy, and
the bald patch still remained on the
crown of his head. He was considered
rather a stupid boy, but whether this
was natural or the effect of the light
ming seemed doubtful. The other freak
happened in Natal. Mr.. W, a set
tier on Mooi river, was riding across a
high range Mount WesD, when he was
overtaken by a thunder storm; he lee
objected nothing more. He was found
wandering about in rather a stupid
state, and could not well account for
his being on foot or what had become
of his horse. On search being made in
the direction he was likely to have fol-
lowed from his farm, his horse was
found on a spur of the range, dead, and
his saddle shattered to pieces. The
Kaffirs believe that where lightning has
struck once it will strike again, and if a
hut or kraal has been hit. they vacate
the spot Immediately and build else
where.

The Miracles Of To-Day.

lows State Register.
In recent sermon the Rev. Stephen
III. Tying, jr., of the Episcopal church
of the holy trinity, New York city, pre-
scented theme and views that will not
fail to evoke: very generaE<dscussion in
ali circles. DIR. Tying has recently been
abroad, and while in France he visited
and investigated the proclaimed MIRA
Gle of the water of Lourdes, and in his
sermon he SO expreSsed1iinself as to;bs
counted among the firm believers In
this story of a miracle. DR.. Tyng
chose for his text the nineteenth and
twentieth verses of the seventeenth
chapter of Matthew: Then came the
disciples to Jesus apart and said, Why
could not We east him out? An Jesus
said unto them, Because of your unbe-
lief; for verify | say unto you, if We
have faith as a grain of mustard seed,
We shall say unto the mountain, remove
hence to yonder place. and it shall re-
move, and nothing shall be impossible
unto YOU" The able divine handled
the subject in a very eloquent manner.
and spoke of the great power of faith.
An epitOme of his sermon reports him
as saying: In our own community we
have examples of cures wrought as n
result of prayer which must take place
with what are modern miracles, and
must be studied philosophically. 1t
was this faith, he said, which at Lourdes.
in France, and perhaps at Knock, in
Ireland, had been honored by God. DR..
Tyng then told the familiar story of the
vision which the invalid peasant shep-
herdess saw In the grotto at Lourdes,
