WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The recent in
PRODUCTION of the ''canteen" system into
the army and the announcement that
the post traders, whose calling is there
by endangered. and in some instances
superseded. are about to make common
cause before congress has called public
attention TO subject that is fraught
with the highest importance to the
army. So little is known, however, to
the uninitiated. and so little meaning is
conveyed by the term "canteen" to the
non-military mind, that the following
statement from Adjt. Gen. KeltOn
of interest. Gen. Kelton says:
THE canteen system of the
British army Is now regarded as among
the most important factors of its adj
ministration, On its present basis. it is
IN effect the cooperative store of the
regiment. There is a wet canteen and
a dry. The former is practically the
club room, and is fitted up with library
and reading room, room for games,
and others for refreshments, for all of
which privileges the Snldiers pay
monthly subscription of two pence. The
bill of fare is of large variety and the
fee. and d half-penmy for tea. cocoa. or
chocolate or boiled egg, pint of soup
or a herring; for twopence he may re-
ceive a p ate of ham and egg. or liver.
or liver and bacon. If he desires TO
purchase in larger quantities he may
procure cooked bacon for tenpence a
pound, ham for a shilling and two
pence, and sausage for eight pence.
The dry canteen is the same as the post
traders store i'll our service, but where
all articles OF general merchandise are
sold at rates slightly exceeding the cost.
These are managed ny committee of
officers and nOn-cummiSSi0ned officers,
under the supervision of the com
mandant, and there is a treasurer, an
ACCOUNTANT and a steward. Everything
is sold for cash and the money is lodged
daily in bank, the amount of profits
averaging some $1,000 a year to each
regiment. OF these profits every penny.
goes for the benefit of the sodier-ill
supplying extra dinners, papers and games
for the club room, prizes for the regi-
mental sports, dishes for the meSSeS.
In short, the canteen is among the most
important features of garrison life IN
Europe.

gentlemen, who declare Brice will be
beaten, because they trust such an
emergency will arise. Not one of these
gentlemen has the hardihoOd to come
to the front and bell the cat. The
talk about Brice's residence in New
York gave rise to bnt little comment
here Some of the Democrats are fear
full lest MIR. Brlce be refused q seat in
the senate on this ground. The greater
number of the Democratic Legislators
don't seem to care anything about
Brice's residence, and the question will
cut no figure in the caucus. The or
ganization of the house has demon
strated Briee's power, and from this
time forward he will have plain sailing
"a fall-doWn or the explosion of bomb
always excepted. The selection of
officers of the senate and house has
simplitied the solution to a great de-
gree. After tonight there will be but
one question to absorb the attention of
the Democratic Legislators, and that
will be MIR. Brlce'S election to the sen-
ate with as much show of regard for
decency as the circumstances of the sit
uation will admit. The Republicans
will nominate Charley Foster as their
candidate. probably by reclamation.

CALIFORNIA; GRsAr STORM.
The Biggest Blockade known in
MANY Years.

SACRAMENTO. CAL, Jan. 5.-One of
the greatest snow blockades ever known
on the Sierra Nevada mountains has
been raised by the railroad companies
forces and snow ploWs. The plow this
evening left Blue Canyon, where it has
been stalled for tweDty-four hours, and
proceeded toward Colfax, Cal. From
Emigrant Gap the west-bound overland
trains were able to follow on behind the
pillow to COlfaV, and from the latter
point the pillow will return and clear the
track TO Cascade, which will free the
snOw-bound train lying at Summit.
Nothing will then stand in the
way of the four east-bOund trains now
held at Colfax. The first of the released
west-bound trains is expected to arrive
at Sacramento some time tonight. The
others will follow as soon as possible.
OGDEN, Utah. Jan. Sit has been
showing here for three days. There is
more snow III the Wasatch and Sierra
ranges than in ten years. In the mount
aims the snow is ten and fifteen feet
deep. There is no wind or drifting. and
the mercury is only few degrees below
freezing. In this valley there has been
more snow than for twenty five years.
The storm extends all along the line of
the Central Pacific to California.

The Craze for Rings.

Men are wearing a great many rings,
PAYS a New York letter to the Chicago
Herald. It's SO English, you know, and
1t is no thing to count four
or five handsome rings upon the hands
of faultlessly attired young men. l saw
@ man the other day who wore a diamond,
emerald and ruby ring, with a second
one studded with one big diamond on
the third finger of his right hand, and a
snake ring and a flashing sapphire on the
little finger Of the left. His shining
patent feathers prevented L from see
ing whether he wore bells on his toes.
A man sat opposite me in a street car a
day or two ago who wore a diamond
nearly if not quite as big as the headlight
of a locomotive, and he constantly
tapped with his gem-incrusted fringes
upon the seat, and the whole place was
filled with a great light, SO that the eyes
of all beholders were dazzled. Thumb
rings are constantly growing in favor
both with men and women. They are
supposed to be mascots, and the super
~stitious cultivate them.

PECULIAR ~INFATUATION.

tfon Love One Another"

tion Love One Another"
Do men ever fall ID love with each other.
Women do. Not long ago a young woman
in New Jersey was married to a youthful la
borer on her fathers farm. Sometime after
ward it was discovered that the husband was
a female; the young wife refused, however,
though earnestly entreated by her friends, to
part Of the discovery was the fact that the
bride knew her husband was a woman before
she was led to the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange ~infatua-
ton for one Of their own sex, they at least
oftentimes give evidence of the TACT that they
love one another. There are many instances
on record where one man has given his life
for another. There are many more instances
were men have given life to another.
1t is a proud p~oseSsion-the knowledge
that one has saved a precious human life.

The DESTROYING Sand wave.

Born of the wind and the sea, on the
aandy beaches of Capes Hatteras and
Henlopen is q curious natural phenome-
non. A mammoth wave of sand, that
towers aloft like a sea wave, even curling
over in places like huge breaker. is
rolling inland irresistably. and lacking
only the element of speed in its career to
carry such terror to the hearts of the in
habitants as is inspired By sea wave that
follow an earthquake, for the destruc-
t~iveness of the sand wave is limited only
by its scope. Though similar in origin,
substance and motive power, thefe is yet
SO much difference between the two
waves in form, extent and speed of trav-
Ell, and in the actual destruction OF
property, that each is a study, in itsels.
Especially noticeable is the difference in
the devastation wrought, for while one
IS laying waste a forest of small value,
the other is baryinginexorably a hundred
towly homes.-Scribner.
