THE SoS-xILITARY FEATURE.


Tine non-miiitary feature Of this partially
legalized deception is the one most unfair to
those competitors who come here prepared to
do only military shooting. The gun which
they are called upon to compete with is not the
weapon Issued to the Now York troops, nor Is
the ammunition of the regular variety. Ten
rounds of the stuff would knock out completely
any average soldier in the field so strong is the
reeoil The increase in weight would alone
condemn it for practical and soldiery purposes,
but the great objection 20 il would come from
the uIskilled man who would he called upon to
pull the trigger. Experts may be able to DO
| inc work with the new combination, but even
they would object TO the continuous use Of
| such a heavy charge.
The DEATH OF cREEDNooR.
One OF the results OF New Yorks action In
changing the terms to serve its own selfish pur-
poses will be the demise of Creedmoor as ma
tional meeting place for fiicmen. All the old
4 teams that came here regularly every year have
forsaken the place, and 1t is safe to say that
Washington will never send another team here
after this year unless there are radical changes
4 in the management OF the meeting. The wool
cannot be drawn over anybodys eyes after
| this. Abraham Lincoln once said: you may
/ fool some Of the people all the time and you
may fool ali Of the people some Of the time, but
you cannot fool all Of the people all the time. ~
| That fits this case exactly.

British Naval Cadets.

-Four naval cadets of the British
training ship Britannia, stationed at
Portsmouth, We're expelled recently for
scandalous practices in connection
with the system of tagging, a system of
making Wallets of the new arrivals and
imposing on them all kinds of indigni-
ties, as we'll as all manner of menial
work. 1t was discovered that the old
boys on the ship were outrageously ty-
rannical in their treatment of the new
comers, going so far as to fog them.
extorting their pocket money, and prac.
ticing all manner of blackmail. They
tortured the new boys by squeezing
their fingers between keys arranged
like thumbscrcw, beat their hands
with bunch of keys attached to Ian
yard, and the seniors carried knotted
rope, which they used on the Junior ca
dets very freely. The Britannia is the
chief training ship for the higher Off
GERS OF the navy, and it can well be inn
agined what sort of officers these Young
tyrants would make and how the sail.
ors under their command would be apt

An Imperial SIX Weaver.

The empress of China has recently
been endcavoring to give an impetus to
the manufacture of silk in that country
by sta rting sills-weaving department
OF her own. One of her great motives
for this step. according to a Shanghai
correspondent of the London Daily
News, is to create an employment for
the many millions of girls and women
who are at present excluded from all
labor except that of making embroid.
cries and doing the lighter kinds of
housework. The empress has had the
necessary looms, skilled artisans and
women trained in the management of
silkworrns sent to the palace at Pekin
from the imperial silk mandatory at
Hang Chow. The industry will be
started in the palace grounds, which
her majesty, by Chinese custom, is for.
bidden to leave; so that the apprentices
will be under her supervision. This
setting the fashion, SO to speak, shows
that the imperial family is beginning to
realize the backward state of the country
and 1t is likely to be productive of good
results. for anything thus started
spreads rapidly and gains firm footing
among the people.

TALL GIRLS HAVE THEIR DAY,

Slimness and Aspiring Height Are Quite
the Thing at Present.
1t is the fashion for girls to be tall.
This is much more than saying that tall
girls are the fashion, says writer in
Harper's 1t means not only that the
tall girl has come in. but that girls are
tall and are becoming tall because it is
the fashion, and because there is a de-
mand for that sort of girl. There is no
hint of stoutness, indeed the willowy
pattern is preferred. but neither is
leanness suggested; the women of the
period have got hold Of the poets idea,
tall and most divinely fair" and are
living up to it. Perhaps this change in
fashion is more noticeable in England
and on the continent than in America.
but that may be because there is less
room for change in America, our girls
being always of an aspiring turn. Very
marked the phenomenon is in Europe
this year; on the street, at any concert
or reception. the number of tall girls is
SO large as to occasion remark. es-
pecially among the young girls Just
coming into the conspicuousness of
womanhood. The tendency of the new
generation is toward unus ual height
and gracious slimness. The situation
would be embarrassing to thousands of
men who have been too busy to think
about growing upward, were it not for
the fact that the tall girl. who must be
looked up to, is almost invariably benic-
nant, and bears her height with sweet
timidity that disarras fear. Besides, the
tall girl has now come on in such force
that confidence is infused into the grow.
ing army. and there is sense of sup
port in this survival of the tallest that
is very encouraging to the young.

Carpets by the Acre.

1t takes an awful lot of carpet to pro-
tect the feet of our statesmen from the
cold of the handsome tile floors of the
capitol, says the Washington Post. Be-
sides the nine hundred yards necessary
for the senate chamber and lobby, il
takes about hundred yards on an av-
erage for each committee room. Six
or eight of the senate committee rooms
have been furnished with new carpets
this year Probably two thousand
yards have been used in that wing of
the building to replace carpets that
have been worn out Fourteen hundred
yards of new carpet has been laid in
the house, and with great Judgment a
combination of red and brown has been
selected, which. while quite rich, will
defy tobacco stains. Probably six hum
dred yards more have been used in other
rooms on the house side. SO that the cap
itol has been supplied with some four
thousand yards OF carpet 10 all

CAPTURING LION CUBS,
How the Arabs Manage to Steal Then
from the Mother.

How the Arabs Manage to Steal Them
frorn the Mother.
Gerard. the famous French lion kill
er, says in his "Adventurcs" that teeth
ing is en- important crisis in the life of
the lion cubs, and that large number
OF the young die during that period
When the cubs have finished teething
the lioness leaves them for few hours
each day, and on her return brings
mutton, carefully skinned and torn into
small pieces.
The Arabs, on discovering litter of
cubs, watch for the departure of the
ioness and then rob her of the whelps.
They post themselves on high cliff or
in tree overlooking the lair.
AS soon as they see the lioness 90
down to the plain, and are sure that the
lion Is not near, they creep to the lair,
wrap the cubs in the. folds Of their bur.
moose in order to smother their cries,
and carry them to the edge of the
woods, where nen are waiting with
horses.
One day sixty Arabs surrounded the
woods where there was lair, and by
shouts tried to rouse the lioness. She,
however, remained in her hiding-place.
Several Arabs then crcpt into the
thicket and brought out the whclps.
The Arabs, pleased with their sue
cess, were retiring to their tents, think
ing they had nothing me- ore to fear. Sud
denly the sheils, who was on horseback
and little behind his men, saw the
lioness rushing out of the woods di-
rectly at him.
He called, and his nephew, Mecaoud
and his friend, Ali, ran to his aid. The
lioness sprang at the young nephew,
who, facing her with his gun at his
shoulder, pulled the trigger when she
came within six or seven feet. The
cap only exploded. The youth threw
the gun away and presented his left
arm wrapped in his burnoose.
The lion seized the arm and began
crushing the bones. The young man,
without cry, drew his pistol and fred
in her breast. She dropped the arm
and bounded on Ali, who fred bal,
down her throat as she sprung at him.
lie was seized by the shoulder and
thrown down, but the lioness, before
she could injure him greatly, expired
on his PROSTATE body. The nephew
died the next day.

Japanese Cigarettes,

An industry of great promise in Japan
for purposes of export is the manufac-
ture OF cigarettes Japanese tobacco.

Turkish tobacco, and the advantage ia

May last the export of Japanese cigar
