One expects heat in midsummer, but when it comes to mid September and such weather as this, it would be Predetermined jade indeed who did not rise to 8 point of order.

 The excavations at Delphi under the auspices of the French government will be begun this fall. In order to prosecute the work successfully, it was found necessary to remove the village of Kastri, occupied by 250 people. By paying 500,000 drachmes to the Greek government, the French archaeological mission secured the right of seizing the little town. Great re- suits are expected from the excavations about Delphi, as Greece has promised to aid them as much as possible. Little work was done by archaeoligists during summer. Workmen, however, near Krokaea, in Lacedaemon, discovered the remains of an ancient temple or theatre, with two immense pillars. It is believed by some scholars to be the ruins of the temple of the Dioscuri.

an interjection can hardly be explained. Sometimes 1t expresses incredulousness, and is uttered disdainfully just after the climax of an exaggerated statement. Sometimes it is used to express disgust, and, If Hghtfully pronounced, is effective. Its use as noun has a place in the die tionary of slang one who deserts his party or associates; among printers one who works st less than established rates.
 Lord Stanhope, also known as Lord Ma hon, an English statesman and historian, who died in 1875, gives this interesting history concerning it: 'sIt chanced that not long after the accession of the house of Hanover some of the brown-thaf is, the German of Norwsy-rsts were first brought over to this country Gin some tim Der, 1t is ssid), and, being much stronger than the black, or, till then, the common, rat, they in many places quite 'extirpsted the latter. The word Cboth the noun and the verb to rat was first, as we have seen, leyelled at the converts to the government of George I, but has by degrees obtained a wider meaning, and come to be applied to any sudden and mercenary change in poli- ties"
 In the book of Job, the oldest literature extsnt, and, according to John J. Ingan, ''the highest production of the human in tellect, appears the sentence: q am es- capped with the skin of my teeth" which is modernized ''by the skin of my teeth, |" and gives the idea of & narrow escape, one so close as to be just by the thickness of the skin on the teeth, which is so thin that no microscopist has yet been able to find it. ''To cast in the teeth" means to throw defiant peprosches or insults spitefuIly, as one would cast & stone at the exposed teeth of a snsrling dog. Tooth and nail' de- notes the manner of an action, full of frenzied fury, typihed by biting and scratching, as when two belligerent cats make the fur fly.

NEW ARMY TACTICS.

NE" ARMY TACTICS.
 The new army tactics have been ap- proved by Major General Schofeld and with the approval of the secretary of war they will, soon as may be, be put in opera late them they wero submitted to some of the most experienced officers in the mili- tary service, and as matter of course they had many amendments to suggest. After considering their suggestions in detail General Schofeld decided to approve the tactics as they came from the board, leav- ing time and practical experience to sug- gest necessary changes. The adoption of the new tactics will mark signal advance in American military practice, and if the opinions of the officers at head quarters at Washington are of value, will place us in the van of all smili- tary powers so far as the scientific handling of armed forces is concerned. Briefly described, the general scheme is a development of the skirmish drill to it's highest point. Every man in line of bat tie belongs to squad constituting unit of force to be handled, with many others as whole. There is to be no such thing as driving in the skirmish line," but on the contrary with every increase of the opposing force the skirmish line is to be strengthened, the line of battle is to grow by accretion and to advance at all times until the whole army is engaged. The re- suit is expected to be short, sharp, deci- sive engagements and battles are to be won or lost by the first onslaught Army officers generally are enthusiastic advo- cates of the new system and the adjutant general yesterday said that with these tao tics and new rifle and powder, the art of war would reach it's continuation in the United States.

SECRETARY MOBILES WORK.


 In the interminable talk about cabinet changes one fact has been brought promi- nently to the attention of the public This is that the secretaryship of the in terior department is position little sought after. It is undoubtedly the fact that this is one of the most vexatious positions in the gift of the president There has not been a secretary of the in terior for years but that has had poured upon his head the maledictions of the politicians of every grade. Although the criticisms passed upon Secretary Noble have been neither unusual nor various, he has managed to make as few enemies as any man who ever filled the place. Being vigorous and conscientious man it is but natural that criticism should be passed upon him as an officer. Whether he remains long or short time, his administration will prove to have been clean and above reproach. No one can dispute the fact that he knows his business and attends to it. There is not a cabinet officer who has so many rascals to run down, special agents or bureau officers under him, or such variety of work to look after. From pensions to railroads, patents to public lands, Indians to science, explorations to the church, education to war, he is constantly drawn. It is impos sible for him to follow one line of thought without interruption an hour at time Politicians, saints and sinners, propositions straight and crooked, men pleased and reasonable to those enraged and designing he is ever surrounded with environments which harass and wear one. It is won der Secretary Noble at times keeps hi' good humor and friends.

BOOBIES, SURE ENOUGH.
Birds that Catch Fish for the Negroe,
 offhe African Coast.
From the San Francisco ExaminerI

me AITIcah SohSt
 From the San Francisco ENaminer.I
 A number of interested spectators were standing at the seawall at North Beach watching party of youngsters who were angling for mud porgies through holes bored in the planking. The fish bit quite eagerly and several were pulled through the holes and laid on the wharf within few minutes. Finally one of the bystanders, turning to companion, said:
 ''The queerest way to catch fish that I ever saw was on the African coast, where the natives do it by proxy"
 "How is that'" inquired the other.
 "Didn't you ever hear of it; moi Well, I'll tell you. One day we were cruising just above St. Paul de Loando, and were quite close in shore, when the mate, who had the glass screwed up to his eye as he looked toward the land, said, T wonder what those natives are doing in those ca- noes, sirP pointing to couple of canoes two or three miles of our lee bow
 ''I took the glass, and, after looking a moment, said they were either fishing or catching boobies Making boobies do their fshing,I guess,' chimed in the second mate. I had heard about the natives mak- ing use of these stupid birds for such a purpose, but had never seen it, so I mo- toned to the man at the wheel to keep the ship away, and we ran down toward the canoes. It was lovely day and we had just light breeze from the northward and westward with a sea as smooth as a mill pond. We were soon near enough to sec the fishing operation distinctly.
 "There was 8 flock of boobies lowering around and once in while one of them would dart down into the water and seize | a fish As soon as he got to the surface he would give it a toss in the air and as il came down catch it in his open bill. Il would then be part way down his throat with half the body and the tail sticking out. If left alone the bird would gradual ly work it down his gullet and dispose of it but this he was not permitted to do. The moment he appeared on the top of the wa ter one of the canoes was alongside and the poor booby was seized and dragged or board. One of the negroes would catet
