The value of the heliograph in keep
ing up communication between scat
tered detachments of troops was so
marked in the British campaign in
Afghanistan and South Africa, that
the adoption Of the system by our
forces on the Indian frontier will
doubtless prove equally successful.
Messages can be sent with the hello
graph at the rate of from six to twelve
words per minute, according to the
ability of the operator, and it is q
splendid substitute for the telegraph,
should the Indians cut the lines, which
they have been doing, and always can
do, when on the warpath, while they
cannot cut a sun flash. II is under
stood that heliograph lines are about
to be established by Lieutenant Mans,
and partly under direction of Colonel
Bracket, commanding scouting OPP
erations connecting Bowie, Grant,
Thomas, Apache and points along the
ella river, in the vicinity of Solomon
vile and Clifton, enabling troops in
he field to be in constant commnica.
ton with one another without waiting
for eouriers or the proximity of a tele-
graph office. The signalmen on &C
count of their elevated positions r
enabled to observe with their glasses
the movements of the hostiles, and in
q few minutes to communicate it to
any command in the field, each of
which is always to be accompanied by
n Of two photographic signalmen.
The great advantages of this system
of transmitting messages in the noun
famous and hostile country are self
evident.

health and avoid sickness.
Instead Of feeling tired and
worn out, instead Of aches
and pains, wouldn't you
rather feel fresh and strong?
You can continue feeling
miserable and good for no
thing, and no one but your
self can find fault, but if you
are tired of that kind oflife,
you can change it if you
choose.
How? By getting one

TIERS, and taking it regularly
according to directions.

SculptOrS' Stories.
From Chambers's Journal,

From Chambers's Journal.
SculptOrs who execute busts often hear droll
things said. Here are two anecdotes taken from
French newspaper A sculptor had produced
the likeness ola celebrated parsonage, in whose
biography it is mentioned that he regarded ar
chitecture as very secondary art. The son of
this parsonage visited the artists studio for the
purpose OF examining the bust, when, after
considering it with the air of a connOisseur, he
said: Gould you not exp press more clearly his
contempt for Architectural"
Another time it was the husband of beloved
deceased wife. who came to see her bust.
Pray, study it well,' said the artist; sit is only

terest. ut is her very self" he exclaimed;
''her large nOse-the sign of gOOdness! Then
bursting into tears, he added: '.She was SO
good! Make the nose little larger!"
The above seems capped by the personal rec
objection of a correspondent, who writes as fol-
lows: Quite fifty years agO-fOr it was at the
time that the exhibition of the Royal Academy
was held in Somerset house, was paying a
visit to the room devoted to sculpture. There
were but three or four persons in the room, and
the silence was complete, until it was broken by
the exclamation of girl of about fourteen.

Stories Without Morals.

From the Boston Transcript
1t SO happened that both George and James
did not wish to attend school one day. When
asked their reasons against going to school on
that particular day, George promptly replied
that he wanted to 60 fishing, but James said
that in his opinion ones brain gains needed
strength by occasional rest that he thought
perhaps he might. by way of change learn quite
as much away from school in the contemplation
of natures changeful moods. and that, nOtwith-
standing an almost uncomfortable impulse drag
ging him schOOlward, it would no doubt ease
his aching head and tense nerves to stay away
James went fishing. George was an honest lad,
but James possessed the instincts of politician,
and carried his point.
Richard was given ten cents by his kind aunt
to put into the contribution box Now Richard
was a very thoughtful lad. He was very fond
Of lOzenges, and on his way to church 1t occurred
to him that perhaps some of the little boys in
heather lands might also be fond Of lozenges
As he neared the apOthecary shop the thought
grew upon him, and when he had reached the
shop door he had concluded 1t would be selfish
in one having his advantages for acquiring lOz-
euges not to use them for the benefit of lozenge-
less boys in lands where apothecary shops do
not abound. So he entered and purchased two
rolls OF lOzenges, and then proceeded on his
way to church. When the box came around,
Richard put two lozenges into it for the poor
heather lads. Not only did he thus make these
benighted children happy, but he also had all
the lozenges he wanted to eat during church
time and money enough left to buy more Few
boys would have thought Of the far-away heather
lads. II they had all the lOZenges they wanted
themselves, they would not have cared II the
sons OF heathendom never got 30 much as a
taste OF candy.

such seeming levity, turned away without

mistake, said she understood him to ask If she
was on her way to Hudson, where she lived.
