AN Illinois young man has kindly Of
fersd 10 the war department device fol
the erevolutionizing of modern war; II is q
pair of thin steel plates rolled with curve
and mounted on n pole, with the convex
side towards the enemy. The pole Is
fixed In small platform on wheels, and
the idea Is that the front rank of troops In
battle should fight behind these shields,
and push them forward as they advance, fir
ing between the upper and lower plates.
No doubt the inventor wondered why no
one had thought of such thing before, but
the fact is that more practical devices
OF the kind have been very seriously
thought OF, and condemned because they
added to the burdens OF the troops on the
march without giving much protection,
Sweden has, however, invested in light
steel shields In quantity sufficient TO
equip several regiments, and 1t is pos
slble that tho next great war NAV
test the utility of some protection of this
kind. One trouble il that the blow struck
by the projectiles of modern weapons
would stagger any shield.bearer If il did
not wreck his shield. A wheelbarrow-
like arrangement has been thought of, and
the wars of the future may present the
spectacle Of charges in which the advancing
lines will wheel their shields like wheel
barrows.
Al present military men are satisfied
that the best protection Is q hole In the
ground, and II is wonderful how quickly
when under fire, the average soldier win
provide himself with one of these cbeap
and light devices.

Some More Nonsense.

A Pittsburg Grand Army post has
passed resolutions remarkable for a
petty vindictive spirit that is never found
IN the admirable type of the soldier.
In language chosen with the evident

irritating easy of application, and one that

surfaces. The history of the efforts TO treat

only one remedy has met these conditions, and
that is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant

AT the Chicago banquet to the travelling
American delegates Chairman q. r.
blanchard, OF the Central Traffic associa-
tion, mado long and carefully prepared
speech advocating subsidies but the most
interesting part of 1t referred to the build
ing of railroads TO South America by
government aid. He said that our com
merce with Mexico had increased from @
In 1860 to - In 1883, and credited the gain
to the fact that our rails reached The City
of Mexico In 1884. This seams to bc claim
Ing good deal for tha-fast four years of the
period, but 1t giyesfhe orator chance TO
make the r~ssilowing stirring appeal /:
"This H says push onward over the
De fsseps trench to greater results
Less than 1900 miles will reach the
Panama railroad, and 400 miles more
will unite our States Mexican system with
South American. Doubtless many here
tonight will yot ride on the North 4
South American limited express from Chi
cago to Buenos Ayres. The South Ameri-
can powers have granted liberal concos-
sions under which railways arc rapidly
extending northward from the River Plate
to Bogota. When completed to the 18TH

on a carpet in front of the high altar
on which sits the life-sized, gorgeously
dressed god, Joss" In his hands he
holds two pieces of wood, round on one

ing his prayers he drops these on the
carpet, and according as they fall he
knows whether or not the prayer Is
answered. If both sticks fall on their
nat side the omen is very bad; If one
falls on the fiat, the other on its round
side, his prayer is granted; if both fall
on their round sides it is a sign of be-

OF praying is by means of small strips
OIL red paper, on which the PRAYER is
printed, and then pinned to the wall
near the door. If Chinese woman
wishes for son she sends in her
