WEST POINT AND rmE AMY

On Saturday in congress certain repre-
sentatives spoke against the exceedingly
difficult standard Of scholarship required
for admittancc to West Point academy.
That may or may not be a good point, but
1t Is not the worst objection in the selec-
ton OF students for that school. Every
school in the country above the primary
department should be a military school
That is, certain periods in each twenty
four hours should be devoted to military
discipline and drill. Then from these
schools the cadets for West Point should
be selected on the score of merit alone,
With such precautions taken the cadets
would be half soldiers on entering the
academy, and could scarcely fail to make
great soldiers when their educauons
should be finished and a little practice
given them, Again, the army of the
United States should be doubled, and the
enlistments should be at 20 years
Of age. The first two years should be
devoted to instruction. and during the
whole five years every possible oppor.
tunity should be gwen for promotion, and
premiums should be offered for especial
excellence. That would ill our army with
the sons of the foremost citizens; it would
change the morale of the army complete
ly; it would, after five years. distribute an
nually among the people 5000 men who
would be competent, in case Of insurrcc
ton Of foreign war, to organize and com
mand regiments. This is a matter which
will crowd more aud more upon the
thoughts Of the people as the country be
III more densely peoplel. and the OPP
%portunitcs for easily acquired homes be
come restricted. This is a republic.
while war is imperial in all It's aspects,
but republics often have to resort
TO this imperial weapon in self
defense, aud one of the best ways for
a nation to keep u of trouble is to
let the world know that il trouble should
really come. it would be fully prepared 10
meet il. The rule now is that the men
who enlist as common soldiers do 50
through some misfortune. They are either
poor and Respondent, or are homesick, or
they have lost the nerve to try, against
the competitions Of a harsh old world. To
try 10 makei Tor themselves a living Hence.
a good many give way To vices, a good
many have to be nut in the guard house.
a good many shirk honest duties. IL the
recruiting could be FROM the other end Of
society and could be prompted py hope
instead Of despair. the result would be
that the army would be composed of the
foremost citizens of the republic, and
would in all its features be a glory and de-

During the recent riots in Belgium. the
female rioters were the worst, the most
active and destructive in the field. Among
the savages of the American continent the
women choose the task of torturing and
killing the prisoners captured in war. In
Ch!rago, the other day, the Polish and
Bohemian women were more active and
prominent than the men. They acted
like tigrcsses or worse. With an apparent
convection that their sex would protect
them from the clubs and pistols Of the
police, women formed the advance guard
OF the marching mobs and covered their
retreat. They often went, with babes at
their breast, in front of the rioters, as a
shield and protection of the outlaws be-
hind them, aud led the men in their cru

Civilized, elevated and cultured womar-
hood is the better part of humanity. Saw
age womanhood. Influenced by its native
instincts and passion, hate or the love Of
suffering and blood, is the worst part Of
humanity. The brutal men who terror
lied sections of Chicago last week were
supported and reinforced by the moro i'm
brutcd m Of their class. All this is
a curious phase of human nature, and a
subject for contemplation and study by a
thoughtful and philosophical mind.

= Yearly tol-etion for tho Hospitals,
One OF the strongest sights Of London
IA the yearly collection for the hospitals
On Hospital Saturday. In almost every
corner OF the great city and its suburbs
are to be seen ladies seated at small
tables set on the sidewalk. A large
placard is attached to the table soliciting
a contribution. On the table is placed a
box with a slit in the lid through which
a penny can be dropped, and on the box
is printed the worde, "For the hospitals"
The lady does not solicit contributions.
She sits on n chair beside n little table,
sometimes knitting c~omplacently or has
a book in her hand. Often a couple Of
Bt.le girls act rs solicitors and modestly
.euuost the passers-by to remember tho
sick and the wounded. Ladies Of the
I highest social standing do moi consider it
beneath thdm 20 attend to contribution
boxes on Hospital Saturday. These little
tables ohstruct the crowded thorough
fares, They are on the bridges and
along busy streets, but eTerybody cheer
fully gives way for them, and few pass
them by without dropping their mite in
the box for the hospitals. -Detroit Free

rbese hrokers ara ouaor cattle. n "A
rule remarked n dealer in hats on
lower broadway the other dav. -They
want their silk brts 10 shine Mi the time
ne IL tbev worn mat ont Of n factory.
Swell youne men about town have that
sort of a desire. but it don't seem to be a
characteristic of business men generally
except IN the case of brokers. Some Of
these brokers have their hats ironed. or
think they do. two and three times a
dav. and have cot so into the habit of
that sort of thing that | have to keep
two men who don't do ANYTHING else
but keen hats in order. either by block
ing or ironing
The shiny tile of the average broker
would seem to Indicate either that what
the hat man said was true. or else that
the brokers are lavish and frequent pur-
chasers Of new silk hats. The former
was proved by inquiry to be the fact.
Nearly every downtown halter has a
similar experience. BROKERS are liberal
buyers OF high mats. They are also
economical in caring for them after they
once buy their tiles, however. 1t costs
from 80 cents to 81 to block them. So
the broker escapes the necessity of this
expense by going to his halter daily to
have them ironed. There is no charge
for this service. Ironing is supposed to
be the running of n hot hatter's iron
over the glossy surface Of the hat, and
this always gives a lustre to the tile. 1t
don't take much time even when thor
oughly done, but it does help to do away
with the necessity for blocking a hat,
and does, in a measure, help to eat up
the profits of the halter. So the willy
halter has found n way to get even with
the broker.
~Some Of tho brokers' said one OF
these, com in here as soon as they get

Knocking about in the crowds they run

There is a young woman at Widdin
who went through the Servian wal dis
guised as a man. Only the commander
of her company knew her secret; she
was obliged to disclose it to him when
the company set out upon its march, and
he appears to have loyalty kept it to him
self. In all exercises, parades and re-
views she took part jointly with her male
comrades. The heroine took part in the
forced march into Servia, fought at the
battle of Slivnitza and joined in the at
tack upon Prot. Her comrades voted
TO her the company's medal for bravery.
When, in consequence of the wal coming
to an end. the militia was dispersed, she
went to Sofia, and was there presented to
Prince Alexander, who awarded to her
a second decoration for bravery. She
then returned to Widdin, her place of
domicile before the war, where she now
acts as servant to an old la~dy.-Foreign
