ARMY DESBRTIONS

tho Agricultural Department Gives Promise of Abundant Crops.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Army officers of late have been looking into the causes which depopulated tho army. Late statistics show that assertions arc on tho increase.
 During the six months ending June 30, 1859, the records show an increase of 135 over tho number reported for the corresponding period of last year. For the past six months of the present year there were ], ,467 assertions against 1909 for the same time of 1888. Fully seven- eighths of the assertions took place dur l ing the first year of enlistment. The importance of these figures is ap- preciated by General Schofield and Ad- jatant-General Kelton, each of whom has given the subject much thought and discussion lately, and some plan of ac- tion looking toward the modification of existing articles of war will receive their earnest advocacy and be presented to congress.
 The number of assertions, especially from the larger army posts, are the source of much anxiety to the officials In the War Department, and they will strike at tho root of the evil if such a thing Is possible. Quite number ot officers believe that one of the best ways to break up assertion would be to put stop to soldier doing so much ex- tra work. When a man enters the army he expects to become soldier. When he finds that, in addition to his dutyeo1 a soldier, he has to do all the work around the garrison and officers quar. ters the soldier feeling dies out, and he ally in the first year of his enlistment A decrease in the useless calls at the army posts would also, 1t is thought, re- suit in fewer assertions.

Now Signal of Distress.

A new nautical distress signal has been successfully experimented with in England, the notable feature in this device being that no stick is required and there is no back fire, the rocket taking the form of metal cylinder, in the base of which is the propelling charge, above this being tho charge of tonite, and above this again a star composition. The propelling charge is fired by simply pulling lanyard, and the signal is propelled upward at one i'm pulse until the rocket has reached the maximum height, which is six hundred feet. The stars arc thrown out, giving a brilliant illumination, and the tonite charge then cxplodes, the noise of the explosion being equal to the firing of six-pound gun, but being high up it is heard at great distance.

NObOdy's Mule.

The mule seemed pensivc, evcn sad, As 1: by conscience pricked; But when they came to share his woes He raised objections-kickcd. The cat came up to sympathize. With new and gentle purr. Alas! she got within his reach, When-fiddlestrings and fur. The dog, in pity, neared him, too. To alleviate his care. He tried to pass around him once, But-sausagemeat and hair. And John, the honest farmer boy, Who had the beast in charge, Tried recklessly to harness him His funeral was large. Oh, trifling were the causes which His flexile l&,s upfurled, And many were the Quadrupeds That sought another world. He never did Q decent thing, He wasn't worth Q ducat; He kicked and kicked until he died, And then he kicked the bucket.
