NEW YORK, Dec. 3l.--The great barrel works
of the Standard Oil Company at Constable

steamers and six hose carriages arrived at the

telephone call was sent in and were at once at
work. So intense WAS the heat from the burn
ing building that the firemen were time and
time again driven back, and they could do little
else than watch it burn.

Crest Mon versus Change OF Name.


notice the revival Of the old story of the
change young John Rowland made in his
name and fortune when he substituted bis
Rowland with Stanley, and dropped John
for Henry NJ, being now known to the
world as the great African explorer. This
reminds me that several Of the great men
known to science, literature, war. and art
were originally known by names almost
wholly unknown to the world at large
Henry Wilson, vice president under
Grant, was ehristened as Henry Goliath,
and WAS known by that name until after
the end Of his nineteenth year.
BY a curious coincidence U. S. Grant,
who was president at the time Wilson was
vice, as above mentioned, was also a hero
with changed name. Prior to young
Grants eighteenth birthday 81. S. Grant"
was a term unknown even in the embryo
generals family II. U. Grant" would
sound odd il written on the pages Of his
tory, but in fact, would be perfectly
proper. The great general was christened
Hiram Ulysses Grant, and by the name of
Hiram or "Hi" was known to all his school
fellows.

congress, Is responsible for az. s." Grant

about in this way; When the name of the
aspiring young man was sent in as candi-

the part of Mr.. Harmer It was sent as "IJ.

Grant was appointed. When he graduated

both made out to ~. s." Grant, therefore

/ No inventions, no changes in arms, can
alter the maxims Of strategy. These are
immutable. Their use depends on the
character of the captains. But tactics
change with inventions in firearms The
maneuvers of the battlefield must depend
upon the weapons of the enemy, upon the
danger zones Of his fire. From close we
have gone to open order, only to find that
scattered groups are apt to weaken dis
cipline; and today more than ever before
we need morale and cohesiveness on the
battlefield.
That commander who, despite the fear
ful defamation Of modern artillery and
small arms, can keep his battalions the
longest in heart, will win the day. Many
intelligent essays are published to prove
this or the other system to be the one to
govern the maneuvers Of the Coming bat
tlefeld, but In truth 10 one knows or can
argue out what is to be. a theory sound
today is discarded tomorrow. But few
facts are patent. Reliance can be placed
only on a strictly national army.
That nation the breasts Of whose citizens
are barred for her defense with honest pa
tFiotism. and which has leaders who leave
no stone unturned to keep abreast Of war,
will remain the strongest. No nation, in
the present condition OF armed expectancy
which pervades all Europe, will, by better |
arms or more recent inventions, be able to |
dispense with this foundation The rule |
held good in the days Of the burgess soldier !
Of Rome. 1t holds good now.-ColOnel I. /

immense inroad Of grasshoppers came from
Asia into middle Europe. Austria and
Italy suffered most. Everything was eaten
up. The swarms seem to have been about
as thick and destructive as those in Kansas
in 1874 The people used all possible de-
vices against the eggs and the insects. In
despair they took to prayer and the priests
The following judgment was pronounced,
As grasshOppers are obnoxious to the
country and to men. be it resolved by the
court that the priest shall, by candles burn

Ghost"
