Regulated by Bugle.

Every watch and clock on Governors
Island is regulated by bugle call. Just
before noon two enlisted men are sta
toned at a point commanding an unob-
structed view of the tower of the West
ern Union building. One of these is the
post bugler, the other a trained signal
man, equipped with a powerful field
glass. The non-commissioned officer is
required to keep his glass fixed upon
the time ball. The instant it drops he
gives the signal to the bugler, who
stands in readiness, and the latter inn
mediately sounds the specified call,
which is heard all over the island, and
there is a general consultation and adj
justment of watches and clocks.-Ex-

where Most Weeds Came From.

Most of our weeds, like much of
our vermin, have come to us from
beyond the sea. Just how they emf
CRATE in every case will never be
known. Some came as legitimate
freight, but many were 'stowaways; !"
some entered from border lands upon
the wings of the wind on river bo-
SONS, in the stomachs of migrating
birds, clinging to hairs of passing
animals and a hundred other ways
besides by man himself. Into the
New England soil and that south
along the Atlantic seaboard the
weeds first took root.
Also the native plants, with a
strong weedy nature, developed into
pests of the farm and garden Many
of the native weeds are shy and
harmless in comparison with the per-
sistent and pugnacious that have
like vagabonds emigrated to our
shores. Professor Byron d. Halsted

The Transition of Electrical Theories.

The Transition of Electrical Theories.
To the question, "What is electricity"
which is often asked, no absolute and
satisfactory answer has yet been found.
Notwithstanding the wonderful develop
ment of electrical applications cleo
tricians are still feeling their way az to
the nature and many of the principles
of the operation of the mighty force that
they are learning to control This was
suggestively shown by a remark made
by the vice president of the American
institute of electrical engineers at the
annual convention of that body.
The speaker claimed that the present
theories of electricity should be regard
ed merely as stepping stones to more
comprehensive and satisfactory ones
He contended that modern theories of
electrical phenomena. if adopted as an
absolute framework of all our knowl
edge of these subjects, may, in few
years. become prison bars that will pre-
vent the mind from making a free and
unprejudiced investigation of new theo-
ries and new phenomena, and giving
due weight and significance in the gen.
eral science of electricity to the results
obtained by the most recent experiment.

Not long ago Primrose and Vests min
strels were playing in a small town down
south. Manager Truss was on the door,
as usual, looking out for the people who
try to crowd their way into shows in one
night stands without going through the
formality of purchasing tickets. Prim-
rose stood with him. as he is not obliged
to appear until some time after the cur
tain goes up. A very genteel looking,
bald headed man, who had bought gall
lery ticket, came down and said to Truss:
Excuse me, sir, but see some friends
downstairs here. would like to run in
and speak to them moment" He was
so polite about il that he was allowed to
pass in. The usual formality of asking
for permit was waived. But the man
did not come out. 500 in and see if
YOU can see him, George" said Truss,
and Primrose went in to take
look. "Id know that bald head among
a thousand" he said. But he could not
see a bald headed man in the house. He
hurried back, BACKED up and went on
the end. While he sat there he looked
around for the bald headed interloper,
but he was nowhere to be seen. AS soon
as he was through, which was long be-
fore the show was over. he hurriedly
washed off the burnt cork and went back
to join Truss. Find him YETI he asked.
NO" replied Truss, disconsolately.
Hes the first man who has beaten me
this season." Then the two watched the
audience as it filed out. Suddenly Prim-
rose nudged Truss and said; "There he
is pointing out curly haired individ-
ual with TWO ladies. Guess you're
wrong" said Truss. mo. I'm not, said
Primrose; hes got a wig on" And sure

When, in 1888. Professor Freeman

When an Indian reservation is appro-
prated 10y the United States govern
ment the eastern view generally is
that the Indians have been grievously
wronged; but the Sioux have really done
remarkably well with their lands, better
probably than any other tribe. The orig
inal contract was that they should part
with no land unless three-fourths of the
male adults of the various tribes gave
their assent to the concession.
The discovery of gold in the Black
Hills, however, in 1874 caused over fifty
thousand people to flood Western Da-
kota, so that in 1876 the government de-
clared the extreme western portion of
Dakota open to settlement This was a
result of treaty with Red Cloud and
the Sioux chiefs who had been captured
and returned to their reservations.
This can hardly be deemed a breach of
faith upon the part of the United States,
for during The Sioux war of 1S74-75-76
which resulted in the Custer massacre
and the flight into British America of a
portion of the tribes under Sitting Bull,
the government troops used all possible
diligence in capturing and turning back
the Black Hills gold seekers. The pio-
neers poured in from all directions and
fought their way to the land of gold;
indeed it may be said that the country
was captured by them.
THE Indian Rights association" the
Indian Defense association" and the va
rious religious denominations that have
their mission schools and lay preachers
at work throughout the great Sioux res
ervation have labored with senators and
congressman to keep faith with the
Sioux, and ask no more land save by the
stipulation Of three fourths agreement
of the male adults, as provided for in the
treaty of 1858.

How Bank of England Notes Are Made.
Bank of England notes are made from
new white linen cuttings-never from
anything that has been worn. So care
fully is the paper prepared that even the
number of dips into the pulp made by
each workman is registered on a dial by
machinery, and the sheets are counted
and booked to each person through whose
hands they pass They are made at La
verstroke, on the river Whit, in Hamp-
shire, by a family named Portal, descend
ed from French Huguenot refugee, and
have been made by the same family for
more than 150 years. About 1850 large
quantity of the paper was stolen by one
of the EN- ployes, which caused the bank
a great deal of trouble, as the printing is
a comparatively easy matter, the great
difficulty with forgers being to get the
paper
They are printed within the bank
building, there being an elaborate ar
rangement for making them so that each
note of the same denomination shall diff
fer in some particular from the other

One nRly love Ii ours
That will endure.
All other friends are dear;
He knows how dear
Who gave them for our Joy
And solace here.
All other loves are sweet;
He knows how sweet
OF whom sad souls that lack
For love entreat.
But friends however true
This life will test.
And they will fail us oft
Who know us best.
And loves however strong
In time may change,
Misfortunes may divide,

Drive friendship hence.

1t is for the benefit of the trained

not include the preparation of meals
