GUARD MOUNT.

At West Point reveille sounds at 6
o'clock the year round. Then the cadet
stands in the ranks and answers to roll
call. After this he goes to his room and
puts it in order for morning inspection. At
quarter past 6 the sick call is sounded,
and at 6:20 comes inspection of barracks
At 6:95 the drum beats for breakfast,
and the battalion marches to the building
called Grant hall. Here there are u
number of tables where the cadets take
seats, and when the meal has been fin
ished the order is given to rise and re-
tire, and each company marches out and
back to barracks.
There are two sets of officers at West
Point = those who are ordered there
to instruct cadets and cadet officers.
The cadet officers consist of captains
and lieutenants of companies. sergeant
major, quartermaster sergeant company
sergeants, corporals. One of the cadet
lieutenants acts as adiutant, The cadet

animation will be held, and such other
information as he may deem necessary.
The candidate passing the best examina-
ton will receive the appointment
The successful candidate is ordered to
report at West Point on, the 1st Of June Of
the year for which he is appointed. Upon
arriving there he reports in person to the
adiutant of the post and shows him his
appointment from the secretary Of war.
The adjutant sends him to the hospital
for physical examination by the sur
geon. He is stripped and inspected to
see if he is physically sound. If the
candidate has any defect, if his eyes, his
teeth, any of his members, are not per-
feet, he is rejected.
After undergoing this ordeal he is sent
to the cadet barracks and put in charge
of old cadets, and in day or two is
brought up for his mental examination.
This examination is thorough so far as it
goes; but it only embraces common
school branches-arithmet geography,
grammar, reading, writing, spelling and
history. The value Of competitive ex-
aminations has been demonstrated by a
table, showing those examined during
ten years, from 1877 to 1887. Of 5O2
cadets appointed by competition 306, or
81 per cent, were graduated. OF 63S
appointed directly $50, Or a per cent,
were graduated.
1t is not intended that the entrance
examination should be very severe, since
it is regarded desirable that the cadets
lor ri, t<> ri, vi,
during half a year after they enter, and
the final test takes place in the follow
ing January, when a severe examination
weeds the corps of all but those who
promise to be worth educating. Those
who are not successful in the entrance
examination are given mileage to theil
homes. Those who pass are marched tt
the commissary building and measured
for clothes.
Then begin the drills of squads o1
"Plebs," as the new cadets are called
In June one may see number of these
squads marching hither and thither, il
preparation to enter the battalion il
uniform.
The pay Of cadet is S540 year. Ou
of this he pays for his clothes, board
washing, fuel, lights and books. True
he doesn't see any of the money till h
is graduated, but he has an account bool
which is balanced every two months, 81
that he can tell just how he stands, the
accounts being kept by the treasurer Of
the academy. Four dollars month are
retained from his pay for the equip
ment fund.-" and when graduated thi'
accumulation is given him with which
to furnish his outfit as an officer. Be
sides this cadet may save something
like from So to $12 month.

The Taste for Olives.

Perhaps this is good opportunity to
remove rather general apprehension
upon the subject Of picked olives. The
olive of commerce, with which everyone is
familiar with its beautiful green tint,
put up in handsomely labeled bottles, Is
put up expressly for foreign consumption
The olive-eater to the manor born never
thinks of touching this fruit, which is
gathered and picked before maturity. On
the contrary he waits until the fruit has
turned color, and is we'll on its way to ma
turity. 1t is then picked, and in this
shape forms a staple article of food with
the French or Italian peasant. And,
truth to say, ripe picked olive is as
superior to the green ones generally
consumed as any other ripe fruit is to
that which is immature. 1t is a
common saying that the taste for olives is
an acquired one; that may be true of the
green fruit, but ones taste need not be
cultivated to enable him to consume an al
most unlimited quantity of the ripe with
enjoymen t.-Louer Californian.

SAN JOSE, June 20th.-The examination
of Potter and Minnie Van Horn for alleged

understood the parties connected with the

torney for the defense. Gordon attempted
10 pass his pistol TO his counsel Moore. but
the Constable grabbed it. Black attempted
TO leave the room and Moore shouted,
Stop and 'Dissrm that man."
The crowd was excited, and murmurs of
Shame shamer Punish them" and
What right had they TO bring revolvers in

After quiet was restored Ed. Russell was
further cross-examined on the milk house
episode. Gordon was questioned on his
past record and asked il he had been in

Perils of the Road.

In Illinois, as in many other States,
there is law which provides that rail
road company cannot be made to pay more
than $1,000 for the killing of person,
though there is no limit to the amount for
which company may be sued for merely
manning a person. One day Senator
Henry H. Evans, who likes joke better
than meal, was telling one of his rural
constituents about this law as they were
riding together from Aurora to Chicago.
"Waal," said the granger finally, tits a
durn sight cheaper, then, fur 'em to kill a
man, than to cut off his arm or his leg"
"Of course it is" said the Senator; and
then lowering his voice to whisper he
said in the grangers ear: You see that
AK up there~
"Ies," whispered the constituent, look
ing at the tools carried in the car for use
in case of need.
WELL" said the Senator, "they carry
that to kill men with in case they are hurt
in an accident"
"Waal, l swan" said the granger, "that's
the awfulest thing ever heard of"
