The Public Building Bills.

It is said by a Washington cor
respondent that the President pro-
poses to begin vetoing the public build
ing bills at an early day, and that he
viii return them to congress without
his approval about as fast as they come
to him. He says: The first emphatic
hint of this kind came on Tuesday last,
when Mr.. Vest of Missouri undertook
to call back from the house the bill
providing for the purchase of site ia
the city of Buffalo. He did this after
long and earnest talk with the Presi-
dent upon his policy, and he doubtless
did it with the advice and consent Of
the President. But he was too late.
The bill had gone to the President and
was awaiting his action at the time.
As soon as it became known In Buffalo
that the President did not entirely an
prove Of this measure ne began to hear
from his tOwnsmen, who seemed to have
held a mass meeting at the telegraph
Office for the purpose of notifying the
President Of their feelings In the mat
ter. The result was the chief nagis-
trate was compelled to sign the bill for
self protection, but there VIII be no
such cOmpulsiOn In many of the other
measures, and they VIII doubtless be
vetoed by wholesale. The prospect Is
not a very fiattering one to men who
have worked so industriOusly for their
constituents, and the only redress open.
to them is to pass some such act
that which Senator Paddock introduces
early In the session, which provides
general system for the erection of pub
lie buildings.

Type-setting in japan.

Pittsburg Commercial: The Japan
ese printer is very much hampered by
our present methods OF work, and L do
not see how we are going to change
them. The Japanese alphabet contains
about s, 600 characters, and each char
acter occupies a different box in the
case. The composing room has only
one case, which is placed against the
side of the wall, the boxes being ar
ranged as high and low as a man can
well reach, and all the cOmpOsitors use
this one case. On this account the
printers are compelled to walk about
twenty miles in a day, and when hur-
RED go rushing about from one box to
another, tumbling over each other In
the most confusing manner. This
causes the work to take much more
time and labor than IN most othea
countries.

mouth talked a bit to the others, pro

After all, I guess, mebbe, it was

ammunition, my blankets, and all my
clothes that We're worth havin.' Then
they went out, turned my pony loose

Yes, they were Piegans. They be
lOnged to a gang that had been down to

from the Crows. and they were then on
their way up north to their own reserva-
ton. They were mighty careful to
keep clear of the trail, and of white

Formation of Troops

Chicago Times: The new. emperor of
Germany has ordered an important
change in military tactics-the aboi-
ton of the system eff formation in treble
ranks-the change being rendred neces-
sary by the altered conditions of field
fighting since the introduction of long
distance and repeating fire arms. Lieut..
Hamilton (author of 1.-The Art of War")
now stationed on Governors Island,
being interviewed in regard to the ina
perial order, said;
There IS nothing very surprising ia
it. This order has been contemplated
by the German war department for 3
long time. 1t is we'll known that the
present emperor suggested it many
years ago, but the late emperor was So
much in favor OF the system by which
he won the FrancO-Prussian war that
he would never consent to any change.
''What it means is, that instead Of
having three lines they Will form
single line, which viii be thrOwR
out In different subdivisions or
groups as now, except that instead
of three lines in one forma-
ton and two In another they i'll all be
the same. The old system was to throw
out a number of such columns and from
these the line OF skirmishers. The
| great drawback was that all the move
ments, on the march and IN the battle,
until they were right in line of battle,
were in ranks of threes, and in the
event of its being broken it could not
readily be replaced. By the formation
adopted you can send out one company
right or left and still maintain the unit
of maneuver throughout the movement.
"Of course the Improvement In fire
arms necessitates a change of tactics.
This has long been seen by our own
army officers. Gen. Upton started
working on it in'1677, and worked up e
the time of his death In formulating T.
new system, but did not succeed In sat
isfactorily solving the question. His
views that the. repeating gun would
change to a great extent the fighting
system have at length prevailed and 4
commission or board has been an
pointed to draw new system of mill
tary tactics. They met IN the early
psrt of February, in this year, and have
as yet made no progress beyond the
consideration of the many suggestions
that haze been laid before them.

The Commercial Tourist Gets Ahead Of the
Pullman Eavsvawv

49, ----~-NA--- ANe-@AH eia-a A-A-a--4 "a l--1
Pullman Company.
Globe-DemOcrat: The Pullman
Company is one of the best managed
corporations In the country. It is not
often that a dollar gets away from it
without the company knowing exactly
where 1t is going and how much it viii
bring back in return. Now and then
dishonest emplOye may succeed in steal
ing a few dollars, but his detection and
punishment nearly always follow very
shortly after the commission of his
crime. It has long been a principle
with the Pullmans to leave no stone
unturned IN order to bring to justice a
dishonest employee. No matter how
small the amount stolen may be no ex-
pense is spared to fix the guilt where it
belongs and send the guilty party to
prison.
Just now the fault found is not so
much with the employees of the COM
pany as the commercial traveller, who
is always on the lookout for some loop
hole or technicaity through which he
can curtall his expense account and vet
have all the luXuries enjoyed by other
travellers. 1t is nothing very unusual for
a commercial tourist to have some kind
OF an understanding with the train con
ductor, the latter giving the former a
substantial rebate, providing he pays
his fare IN cash to the conductor. The
i OO-mile ticket is often made to carry
its owner several thousand miles by
so rgat1
plan being to inclOse a certain amount
OF cash between the leaves of the little
book whenit is handed to the conductor
for him to tear out the fare Instead
of taking out the full mileage he will
be satisfied with very small portion
Of it, and the book Is returned without
having lost only a fraction of it's value
The Pullman Company has a rule
allowing the purchaser of a day ticket
a visitors check This is for the pur-
pose Of admitting any one to the palace
coach who may desire to converse with
the holder OF the day ticket on business
or social matters. For a ticket en-
fitting him to days ride in the Pull
man car, the commercial tourist pays
81, and with his-ticket takes a visitors
check. In the next coach he has
friend who is destined for the same
point or locality, in all probability
another tourist representing a different
line of goods. He is invited into the
Pullman car and the visitors check is
! produced when the conductor presents
himself. Thus they ride for Soc each
/ and the company loses to the extent of
! 81. While the visitors check is very
/ convenient under certain circumstances
/ and very desirable when it is necessary
| to converse with a friend for a few mo-
ments, it is not unlikely that it viii be
! abolished on account of the abuse of
/ the privilege and courtesy. 1t might
be retained by limiting it's use to so
many minutes or making it good simply
! between two stations.

Planting Trees.

APrOpOs to the coming of Arbor day
in Nebraska Is the following from an
eastern exchange: A correspondent,
approaching what we said yesterday In
favor Of tree planting. suggests that
there Is too little practical knowledge
on the subject. We take it for granted
that there Is only one right way to
plant a tree, and we would feel obliged
to any one for some few leading direc-
tiOns, In the shortest space for the ben
eft of the public. All trees are not
suited for all places. On this branch
OF the subject there Is room for further
Information. Iransplanting trees from
"A forest to open spaces, there ever after
to take their chances, Is not likely to
prove a successful way to insure thrifty
shade trees. While It Is extremely de-
sirable to have trees planted IN num-
bers, the enterprise VIII be likely to
fail If the work Is not inteIligentlY
done. The operation begins at the be-
ginning, which Is the selecting and
taking mp the tree from the right place
and with an intelligent reference to the
spot where it is to stand. While the
reasons for planting trees are numerous
and urgent how TO do 1t Is the first
thing to know. Our correspondent ad-
Tises that all who contemplate planting
a tree OK any number OF trees on ArbOr
day should post themselves a. to the
best methods for realizing tins purpose.

Christian Association Espionage Over Young
Men From the Country

HUI + 4O4AA s4Ao SOAA4LAy
New York Telegram: "You never
heard about our detective system then,
said one of the many busy secretaries
at the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton. ''Why, we have a fourishing
agency here, he continued. Every
day we receive letters from parents of
young men coming here from the
country towns or smaller cities, giving
us their boarding house or business ad-
dresses, and requesting us to look after
them and try to get them into good
company from the very beginning of
of their life in the city. Then, without
letting them know how we learned of
their presence in the city, we send the
young men invitations to attend some
specified one of our weekly social
gatherings, requesting them to intro
duce themselves to any of the members
of the reception committee or to some
one of the secretaries.
But Oftentimes we cannot reach
them in that way, and have to use a
little strategy, and that's where our
detective work comes in. In such cases.
and they are very numerous, besides

young man whom we wish to reach, we
get a general description of him from
his parents or from the friends who
have written US about his welfare.
Then one of our active members, OF
in other words, one of our detectives
visits the store or Office where the
young man is employed, and with
out letting any one suspect his mission
sizes his man up so that he viii know
him again.
''NOw, when in response to the card
of invitation sent him he attends one of
our social gatherings, our shadow points
him out to the general secretary, who,
after welcoming and making him feel
at home, introduces him with all due
fOrmality to the shadow himself
"Our man knows his duty and his
heart is always with the work, and so,
with very few exceptions, acquaintance
thus made Tipen into friendship, the
young stranger joins the association,
and we see that he gets acquainted with
our members and gets right into line.
And-weII, once we get hold of a young
man If We can't make this a pleasanter
place for him than bar rooms and other
places We'll sell out"

a Bloody War Between Laborers at Cumber-
land Gap, Tenn.

A Knoxville, Tenn, special says:
A tunnel Is being built at Cumberland
Gap by the PowelI's Valley railroad
Last Saturday 100 laborers struck for
an increase in wages from 81 Is to $1.5O
a day. They notified the contractors
and the people for miles around that
whoever attempted to fill their places
on the job might expect TO be killed.
The contractors hired a new lot of men
and put them to work. A large force
of the strikers under the influence of
whisky, and armed with rifles and
pistols assaulted the wOrkmen. They
were also well armed, and the battle
lasted for several MINUS Five men
are reported killed and more than a
dozen wounded, some of them serious
". A courier came to Knoxville with
instructions to buy a large supply of
arms and ammunition, as further
trouble IS expected. A row occurred
last Friday at the Kentucky end Of the
tunnel between mountaineers and con-
tractors, IN which two men were
wounded

Mechanism Of the Heart.

Medical world: In the human sub
ject the average rapidity of the cordiac
pulsation of an adult male is about
seventy beats per minute. These beats
are more frequent as a rule in young
children and in women, and there are
variations within certain limits in par
ticular persons owing to pecuIiarities
of organization. 1t would not neces-
sarily be an abnormal sign to find in
some particular individuals the habituaI
frequency of the hearts action from
sixty to sixty-fve, or from seventy-fve
to eighty per minute. As a rule, the
hearts action is slower and more
powerful in fully developed and mus
cular organizations, and more rapid
and feebler in those Of slighter form.
In animals, the range is from twenty
five to fOrty-five in the cold blOoded
and fifty upward in the warm bIooded
animals, except in the case of the horse,
which has a very slow heart beat, only
forty strokes a minute. The pulsatiOns
of men and all animals differ with the
sea level, also. The work of a healthy
human heart has been shown to equal
the feat Of raising five tons four hun
dredweight 1 foot per hour, or 125
tons in twenty-four hours. The excess
of this work under alcohol in varying
quantities is often very great. A curl
Gus calculation has been made by Dr..
Richardson, giving the work of the
heart in mileage.
Presuming that the blood was thrown
out of the heart at each pulsation in
the proportion Of sixty-nine strokes per
minute, and at the assumed force of
9 feet, the mileage of the blood through
the body might be taken at 2O7 yards
per minute, 7 miles per hour, 168 miles
per day, 81, 800 miles per year, or
., 100, $50 miles in a lifetime of 81 years.
The number OF beats Of the heart In
the same long life would reach the
grand total of 2. S69. 776 900.
