| model police force. The first step to-
wards securing position on the force,
when there is vacancy, is to file an APP
plication. The candidate must fill out
a printed form without any aid, assist
| ance or suggestion from any other per-
: son, and must be able to read and write
the English language. He must swear
to his age, height. weight. birthplace.
tell whether he Is married or single, and
other questions which may be useful in
determining what kind of an officer he
would make. Then he must have
been a resident of the city of
Minneapolis for at least three years
prior to his appointment, and present
recommendation from at least five re-
putable citizens. setting forth that he is
a proper person t. be appointed. But
the one qualification which is absolutely
necessary for candidate to possess is
not enumerated in the blank furnished
by the commission to applications for
positions on the force. 1t is true that
the mans character must be above re-
proach: that he must not be under five
foot six inches in height or weigh less
than 40 pounds, and between the age
of twenty one and thirty-five years; but
unless he has "pull'' with the COM
mission, his application, like several
of those which Commissioner Gjertsen
has charge of, will be quietly pig
con- holed and that will be the
last that is heard of it. If. at the pres
ent time, the would-be policeman has
friends who can influence the two COM
missioners who now manage the police
force, and there is vacancy, or the su-
perintendent wants more men. he is
duly appointed upon the force, and,
his uniform, he becomes full-tiedged
policeman, provided he passes the med
lcai examination.
After being sworn in he Is furnished
by the city with helmet. star, belt,
club, billy, whistle and KEYS to the fire
alarm and police signal boxes. He is
given copy of the police manual con-
tanning the rules laid down by the COM
mission, which he is advised to study,
and assigned to duty. Before he can 90
on duty, however, he is required
to purchase his uniform. and this is
no small item of expense. His dress
suit will cost him $50; uniform over
coat. $50; blouse, SO; rubber over
coat. So: a cOonskin coat at least S45,
AMI overshoes and leggins about S.
more. Then he must get revolver, and
while anything from % to 45-caliber
is allowed, all of the new men are adj
vised to purchase a double acting Smith
d Wesson gun of either 50 or 3S-caliher,
the cost of which is from S12 to SIS.

to all kinds of weather, he must pro-

As Clear as Mud.

New York, June 27.--A special from
New Haven says:
After many years Of close calculation,
brought at last to a successful close,
Prof. Totten, Of Yale, announces to day
that he has identified the conjunction OF
the sun and moon which marked Joshua's
long day. Reckoning back from the pres
ent new moon, June, 1900, the Bethhoron
conjunction took place in midheavens at
IL :l3 a. M, exactly 3,435 full lunar years
ago; or, reckoning forward, ammo mundi,
it happened al the winter solstice of 2555
a. M, which was the 365th Sabbatic
year, and this, in fact, when properly un-
derstood, is the key to the whole system
OF lunar chronology followed by
the ancient nations. Mr.. Totten states
that his calculations point with absolute
certainty to the fact that, then and there,
at the time Of this remarkable conjnnc-
ton, those charged with the keeping of
the Hebrew calendar must have intercal-
ated single weekday, which he identi-
fies as Wednesday, this 933, 1856 day of the
world. Mr.. Totten also states that 8O5
lunar years and three lunations ago
similar conjunction occurred on the
zenith OF the same place, Beth-horon

Once, when the late Matthew Arnold

after pause, he continued: "When
