The Inferior Arms of Our Soldiers,
From Scribnerss MAMMA

From Scrioner's Magazine.
This question OF arms Is a live one in Europe,
where fighting may be expected at any time,
but we the very warlike and extremely unmili-
tary sovereign people Of the United States can
afford to view it with Indifference. We know
that We have millions of fighting men ready to
spring to arms at their country's call The
arms they would spring to may not be of the
best, but the men are splendid
We have Springfield rifles for few thou
sands of the millions, and have provided by
the law of the land, in force in the year OF
grace 1888, that each man of all the rest shall
have 80 good musket or frelock two spare
hints, sufficient bayonet," and other warlike
gear, except in the case of officers, each of
whom must have "a spontoon and q sword or
hanger" as he may elect.
Our criterion Of military excellence ia yery
different from that Of Europe. There it is the
| capability Of men to get into position to shoe,
and to shoot straight and quick; here it il the
prettiness with which soldiers. under police
escort, can march up the main street of a great
town.
We consider it the part Of wisdom to pre-.
pare for more peace in time OF peace, but
| should foreign foe suddenly attack us the
| pulse OF the patriot would thrill at the spec
| tacle presented by our armies springing to their
arms and marching down Broadway-under

AN ENFANT TERRIBLE.
He Exposed q Family Secret aud Got Q

From the st. Paul Globe

From the st. Paul Globe
A company Of ladies and gentlemen sat at
dinner last evening at the residence of q we'll
known citizen on Laurel avenue. BY great
pleading and reiterated promises to be good, q
small boy Of the family was allowed to be pres
ent at the ''doings," as he expressed it. When
the wine-drinking stage of the proceedings was
reached, the youthful son Of his father forgot
all about his promises and wanted wine.
"You can't have wine, Charlie" said the dot
ing mamma, as she stroked the silken hair of
her darling, and whispered in his child-like
ear that he would ''spill it on his clothes" The
promising youngster glanced down at q very
pretty little pair of wine-colored knicker-
bockers, in which his fat limbs we're encased
and as his eye lit upon their shapely proper
tons and attractive color, his face became sud
denly Illuminated with the dawn of a new idea.

some wine I'll tell"
What will you tell9" asked the mother in q
fond whisper.
about my pants" was the reply.
Well, If you do shall slap you, and you
won't like that, will you?'
The youngster was quiet for few minutes
but soon broke out again and clamored loudly
for wine.
you shall have no wine," said the head OF
the house in a determined voice.
well, I'll tell, then
The ladies present were just itching to hear
what the precocious youngster had to tell, and
| one smiling on the boy said: That's right
you tell on them if they won't give you any
wine."

Death of a Philanthropist.

Henry Shaw, the philanthropist, said to be
the best friend st. Louis ever had, died Sun
day morning. He died without showing evil
dence OF physical pain or mental suffering.
Henry Shaw was an Englishman by birth. AT
the age OF nineteen he came to America and
located in st. Louis, arriving here on May 4,
1919. He first embarked in the hardware
business on the levee, and for a time was
proprietor, clerk, and porter. He also gave
some attention to Indian supplies. He pros
pered, and after twenty years of commercial
life had amassed a sufficient fortune to en-
able him to retire from business which
he did at the age of forty. He then
went abroad and visited nearly every quar-
ter of the globe, being away from this country
about ten years 1t was upon his return that
ne began the study aud cultivation of plants
and flowers, and it was in the prosecution OF
these studies tina. the now world-famous
botanical gardens had their origin.
He made his gardens and beautiful estate free
to the public. With the death of Henry Shaw
the famous botanical gardens become the prop
erty Of the state of Missouri. Another

Shaw's residence when he died was at
Tower Grove park, and he passed but
little time at his downtown home.
Mr.. Shaw's estate is valued at s., 500 900, and
1t Is thought the greater part will be left to the
city OF St. Louis in various requests. Mr.
Shaw was by leaning an Episcopalian, and

is understood, will be particularly favored in

His vigor and versatility have been renewed
by the baths at Homburg.

was OF Homburg the home rulers could not get
without drafting me in as Q sympathizer. This
year, with Lords Spencer, Granville, Roseberry,
Edmund Fitzmaurice and any number of
Gladstonian members of parliament, the homo
rulers are in majority at all entertainments.
Mr.. Depew made an immense hit at the din
ner to the delegation Of American working
men on the Eifel tower. He reminded them
that at the time of the Inauguration Of
Washington q delegation Representing or
ganized labor would not have been permitted
to enter any European country, and even
IL they had managed to step in, would have
received no attention anywhere. Now they
are honored because the United States, the
greatest and strongest nation in the world,
has made labor honorable and honored every
where. AT a subsequent speech at a dinner
at which NJ Carnot was present Mr.. Depew
said that, while the American show at the
exhibition was unworthy OF our great nation,
we had an exhibition in Edison and in the
American labor delegation which COM
pensated for the meagerness Of our
visible material and artistic display.
Edison, he declared, had conferred
the greatest blessings on mankind in
developing the practical uses Of electricity. and
had, on the other hand, invented the greatest
peril to its peace and comfort in perpetuating
through the phonograph the endless repetitions
OF the speeches Of the period.

the last three years 1t is open secret that his
death was brought on by overdoses of NOR

done her best to wean her husband from the

merists to put him to sleep at night after re-
turning from the theater. But N. Damala,
while assuring his wife that he was cured of
the habit, bought the drugs secretly. Large
quantities Of them were found in the bed

of all strength OF body and mind. Sarah,
after the ordinary funeral ceremonies, had a

The Pope's Wretched Health.

Cable Special to New York Times.
Private letters from Rome, coming from
strongly Catholic believers. state that the
pope's health is wretched. He can only walk
aided by several assistants. His voice at times
leaves hin, entirely, and the worst feature is
that it is all general debility his holiness has
really no disease. His incessant hard work is
rapidly telling upon him, and his eighty years
cannot stand the constant strain. Cardinal
Rampollo and Mgr. Perrochi are the favored
possible successors. Italy is doing her best to
bring forward Mgr. San Feiice, whose noble
work when Naples was plague stricken will not
soon be forgotten. He is naturally the court
favorite and is warmly supported b. Cardinal
on account OF the brusqueness Of his manner.

viii Writing Become Lost Art?

From the Boston Traveller.
Will the coming man write? Not at all.
There will be no more need of his learning to
write than Of his learning to spin. Writing
will have become one of the lost arts and a
wholly unnecessary art by the time the coming
man appears. His writing will be done by the
photograph, which will be placed ON his desk
as pens and ink are now; and whenever he has
a story, poem, an essay or private letter to
indite he will simply talk into the phonograph
and send on the plate which has recorded his
words. The teaching OF penmanship will be
unknown in the scholl of the future, and writ
ing, in the present fashion, will be regarded as
much among barbaric methods as we now hold
the rude hier0glyphics of the ancients to be.
