should be Adnnted.

In a recent issue of the Army and Navy Journal is described at great length plan to make the rank and file more content with their position. This is that a casino shall be established at each post, or each of the larger posts, carried on by noncommissioned officer, responsible to the post commander, or to an officer to be disignated by him, and combining not only the supply of sandwiches, coffee and tobacco to enlisted men, but the post library, billiard table and all branches of indoor recrea- ton, so that the men would be con tented to spend their leisure time there. The plan Is suggested by Theodore Brown, hospital stewart at Fort Bayard, and is approved bp his former post commander, Colonel w. B. Royall, now com mander at Fort Huachuca.-Silver City Enterprise.

Wiater in Manitoba.

A correspondent to the Boston Journal from Manitoba writes in- cidents of weather which explain what cold really means. With the thermometer 50 degrees below zero the air is so wonderfully clear and dry that it does not seem half so cold as 1t really is, but the effects are reliable proofs of the tempera- ture. It Is very common sight to see people partly frozen, but un- less they see themselves in a glass, or are told of the fact, they are not concious of being frozen. Occasion ally the part frozen will snap off and kittens and ponies ears often break of. Mustard two feet above the stove will freeze. Water poured from a boiler into a pail and taken at once to the stable will frequently be thickly coated with ice, which must be broken before the cattle can drink.

Internal Machines.

The offence of Captain Phelan,
 who was assaulted at O'Donovan
 Rossa's office recently, was expos
 ing and describing the internal ma
 chimes used by the dynamiters, and
 which description was as follows:
 ''A word as to how the mechanical
 part of these terrible batteries is
 made. There is really very little
 mechanism about 1t. It is sim pie affair, but it does its work thoroughly, and with fatal pre- cison. The machine consists of a reservoir of acid, which drops, drop by drop, on a little hollow tube or faucet. Around this faucet are wrapped sheets of tissue paper. It takes the acid minute to eat through each sheet of paper. The explosion, yon see, is timed by the sheets of paper, although the flow of the acid is also regulated when it comes from the reservior. In case 120 sheets of paper were wrap ped round this little faucet When the last sheat is eaten through, the acid enters the tube, runs down to the end directly under which the cap is placed, and then the deluge. The little machine is simple, bat it beats clockwork all to pieces. It makes no noise. It is not liable to to get out of order. It is as insi- dious as death, and, like fuse once lighted, It seldom stops until | it reaches the mine itself, and is de- molished in the disaster which it | has caused'.

Simplicity.

United States Treasurer Wyman is the recipient of many curious letters, generally relating to the disposition of the money contained in the Treasurer. A few days ago he received a letter from an Indi- ana farmer, who said that he un- derstood the Democrats intended cleaning out the Treasury, but be- fore that should come to pass he desired that the small sum of S6,000 should be sent to him Tn or der that he might buy a farm. He knew Mr Wyman would be will ing to oblige him with this amount particuarly If he thought the Dem ocrats could not be trusted with the Treasury and its funds. Another letter received about the same time was from an Ohio man, who said that he learned from different papers that SlO,000.000lay in the Treasury which belonged to va rious persons but he had never been claimed. He was of the opin- ion that some of this amount rightly belonged to him. A good many years ago, while travelling in Kentucky, he had sent S10 in a letter to his wife, but nothing had ever been heard of either the letter or remittance, and he presumed the money was in the Treasury. Besides, his wife's uncle went to California in 1859 and promised to leave her some money. The uncle has since died, but nothing has been heard of the legacy, which no doubt was part of the unclaimed S40,000,000. He desired the Treas urer to look up the matter and turn over to him what was rightfully his own.

A Town Run by Two Brothers.

The town of Bethlehem, Conn.,,
 is "dreadfully close" on elnction
 day, and for years the nomination
 of Representative to the General Assembly has been confined to
 one family-the Thompsons, twin
 brothers, one a Democrat and one a Republican. Both are prosper ous farmers, and counterparts of each other. The people sec no reason why they should not go on representing the town alternately as long as they live. Six voters either way will carry the town. Each brother commands person al following outside of his em- ployes. When one is nominated the sympathies of the other oyer rides all party considerations. It is said to work well party-wise. When the Democrats want a sure man to win they put up FranF. The Republicans use Fred the same way. One will not run against the other, and they have the nomination in this way for seven years. They have a sure thing, but as both are popu- lar, and, outside of politics, have much the same ideas, no one seems to care particularly.

Meeting OF Grant and Beauregard.

It is q mistake in heroes whenever
they neglect to be six feet In height.
Two men met in the publication Office
of q New York magazine, for which
both had agreed to write articles. They
were introduced to each other, and L
watched them very interestedly, be-
cause they were Gen. Grant and Gen.
Beauregard. The visible splendors of
war had departed from them with their
uniforms, and their civilian coats were
even CLOSED by wear in spots where
gold lace once had shone.
Grant walked heavily with q cane,
never having entirely recovered from
the hurt to his hip in a fall on an icy
sidewalk. His hair and whiskers had
the shapes made familiar by his por-
traits. but his lowness of stature was
deplorable, because he was rather
slouchy and fat as well. He looked
more like a plain, matter-of-fact mer-
chant than the formost general of a
great war. Beauregard's head was all
that could be desired by an admirer, for
it had close-cropped white hair, a mus
tache and imperial of the same hue, and
the outlines of a military model, but he
needed six inches more of body and
legs in order to inspire any sense OF
grandeur.
Did they fall into heated antagonism,
as champions OF once opposed hosts !?
Not at all. They did not so much as
discuss the struggle calmly. Their
topic was Grants lameness. which he
said he did not expect to ever get rid
of, and Beauregard's rheumatism,
which he ascribed to the changeable
Northern climate. Grant invited
Beauregard to call on him, and Beau
regard replied that he would be de-
lighted to do so--all in the manner of
men who might or might not mean it.
There were only two remarks which re-
motely had reference to the rebellion.
Il don't see that you have changed
much in twenty years." said Grant.
II have always believed that my cam
paigning did me world of good. phys
ically," replied Beauregard. Chicago

Cases Alter Circumstances.

A report having been circulated that
coal oil had been discovered on GER
tain farm in Maryland, a resident of
Baltimore, who happened to be in the
vicinity when he first heard of it, pro-
ceeded to the farm to find the owner
away and nobody around but the hired
man.
my man," said the Baltimorean, ais
it true that oil has been found on this
farm?"
"Well, there's oil on the pond back
there"
where does it seem to come from ?"
well, that depends" was the hesi-
tating answer. my boss owes me S4S
for work. If he pays me to-day as he
agreed to the oil comes from under a
clay bank. II he puts me off any longer
it comes from a barrel buried in the
mud. That's the way I'm fixed,
stranger, and if you've got speculation
in your eye you'd better come around
and see me later."-Wdu Street Ne,cs.

Jehu SuperStitiOns.

After sailors and gamblers, the all
night hack-drivers are the most super
stitious people / know, says an old de-
tective. A cat crossing in front of q
"night-hawk's" outfit" is considered
bad enough luck to dwarf the nights
business, but white cat means utter
decentralization for the night Some
"hawks" Immediately begin to drink,
in order that they may forget the APP
paration of the white cat, and when a
"night-hawk" is visited with the delir-
ium tremens he does not see snakes,
like the ordinary sufferer, but hundreds
of white cats crowd before his vision
A driver of an all-night hack never puts
his left foot on the wheel first upon
getting upon the box; he thinks it bad
luck, and nothing can induce him to
open the door of his cab or carriage
with his left hand. If a shoe becomes
loose on one of the horses feet that's q
bad omen, and causes the driver to be-
lieve that some bad luck is in store for
him. When the moon is shining
brightly and big cloud suddenly hides
it from view and causes darkness to
settle on the streets the "hawk" grows
suspicious. Ii the passenger happens
to be drunken man, with torn UNI
brella, that is considered good luck, a
sign that rain will be plentiful and
make business good. Some of them
won't eat during the night, for fear it
will change their luck, but they never
refuse drink. The lighted stump of
cigar picked up after it has been
thrown away nv a walI-drpasQd man
and quickly smoked is thought'to bring
good luck. All the jehus who are only
seen on the streets at night are great
policy players. If they are lucky they
may make So bill, but by the time the
horses scant feed is bought and the
policy slips are paid for there is not
much left, and the rag-tag hackman of
the wee small hours comes back under
cover of darkness the next night just
as poor as ever.-Philadelphia Times.
