The Soldier of America.

To know the American soldier we'll
you must toll with him over the desert
trail when the sun beats hotly down on
the dry and verdurelesss earth, and the
dust rises in white clouds that hide the
column from view, and fills the eyes,
the mustaches, the ears, the mouth,
with profanity and vexation. Here is
where his songs and jokes proclaim the
stuff that he is made Of.
Then, when you are sent out with him
in the dead of winter over 20 inches of
snow, your equipments and supplies on
bob-sleds, he it is that dismounts time
and again without a murmur, pushing
to help the mules up hill, and repack-
ing the overturned sled a dozen times
in day; then, after it all, digging his
hole in the snow and putting up his
tent at night, all the time joking with
"Bunkie," and ready as ever to steal a
wisp of hay or a handful of oats for his
shiverlng horse.
He it is that jumped into boiling hot
spring to save the life of daughter of a
private citizen-a deed for whic'> the
citizen, who was rich man, prohered
the astounding sum of So, and the
government the gold medal of honor;
he that took hat-bottomed boat ont in
heavy sea in New York harbor to
rescue drowning boy; that lost his life
for his fidelity while attempting to
swim an icy stream with dispatches;
who, single-handed, served field gun
through an action with bullet in his
leg to hold a position; he that you be-
lieve incapable of anything but "buck
ing faro" and drinking strong liquors.

No Comfort in Summer.

How useless is the effort Of poor
human beings to be comfortable in sum-
mer time in spite of the proud, naughty
persons who make our clothes and rule
our fashions Better yield at once to
the memorable destiny and be decently
miserable.
Look at the history of the summer
girl, for example. Five or six years
ago rash, reckless men determined to
be comfortable at any cost, broke away
from the starched bosoms and choking
stiff collars decreed by the fashion ex-
perts and introduced the flannel shirt.
The rebellion spread; the flannel shirt
became the common wear in summer.
But mark, the first year it was plain
affair in one color. The next year the
autocrats took hold and introduced fam
cy stripes. After that they slylv
brought in cheviot and madras instead
of fannels, collars and cuffs being still
unlaundered. Then came Numbered
collars and cuffs and then stiff laun-
dered bosoms. Now this year behold q
shirt deliberately designed for discom-
fort, with g double turn-down collar just
as high as the white shirt collar, and a
great deal more uncomfortable, and to
crown all this must be worn with a
thick, heavy scarf around your neck
and tied with fiat bow in front-a
thing to make the judicious grieve and
the irreverent swear. It's no use talk
ing, there is no satisfactory summer at
tire possible in civilized land.-Nel0

The END OF THE WORLD.

The Rev. A. N. Keigwin, Presby-
terrain minister of Wilmington, Del,
prophesies the end of the world in 1897.
He expects that in that year the Jews
will be restored to the Holy Land, and
that they will build anew the temple
against the second coming Of Christ.
He draws these conclusions from sew
eral much discussed passages in the
Book Of Revelation, and has been
preaching sermons for some time past
with the special object of preparing
his flock for the events Of 1897.

Military Training.

'Tis not the nine days wonder, but
nine-fold one that is engrossing the
attention of our small quarter of the
GLOBE" said a suburban friend the other
day. CA wealthy man. with nine sons.
ranging from 6 to p years, has moved
into our midst, and their peculiar hab-
its and manner of life is subject of
continual comment. These boys all
dress as nearly alike as possible, wear
ing, except the two eldest, whose
clothes are made according to the or
binary mode, high, clerical vests, wide
turnover linen collars, opening in the
back, and long trousers.
Their lie resemble that of a military
academy as regards strictness of rules
and plainness of diet, while they all
sleep on narrow trucks in one large
room. They march into church, led by
their father, like miniature army, and
go through the service as though they
were on dress parade. Each youth has
bicycle, and when out on the road
they either ride nine abreast, according
to their ages, Or, if the street is too mar
row to permit of this, 90 three by three.
In case an acquaintance is met, the sig
nal is given. and off come the nine caps
all at once. Every other boy is study
ing to be doctor. Not so very long
ago their grandmamma died, and the
boys conducted the services, directing
everything and acting as pail bearers.
Someone remarking to me of them
about how smoothly things went, and
how we'll they carried their heavy bur
den, was rather surprised at the reply,
We'll, [ should think we ought to have
carried it as though we were used to it.
We practiced it for two hours y

The Girls Fixed Up His Room While He
Was Away. -
Away on his vacation was Jack, and
while he was gone the dear girls thought
it would be,a perfectly sweet idea to fix
up his room, 1t was a rather democrat
ized-lookiug apartment from feminine
point of view, but regarded through
masculine orbs it was just abour right
and perfectly comfortable.
But the girls wanted to surprise
brother Jack.
So they invaded the sanctum one day
and transformed it. They threw out
the collection of old pipes on the man
tel and turned Pauline HALLS picture to
the wall. They gave Jacks old slip
pers to the ianitor and tied pale blue
cushions on his leather chair. They
painted forget-men on his boxing
gloves and put a drapery of lowered
chintz over the collection of photo
graphs which adorned his cabinet.
They tied bows on everything. from the
coal scuttle to the picture nails, and
hung spiky ornaments on the gas Jet
with baby blue ribbon. They burned
up collection of newspaper clippings
which Jack had taken five years to ac-
emulate, and they decorated the face
of his shaving glass with spray Of con-
volvulus.
They embroidered tender little senti-
ments and stuck them all over regard
lessly-"A Friend in Need" on the
soap dish, "phink of Me" on the
LIQUOR stand, and "SWeets to the Sweet"
on the shoe bag.
Then they stood off and admired it.
1t was too lovely for anything

where have you taken the bed ?"
"You'r re sitting on it, you great goose !;
we've rugged it up as an Oriental divan.
You'll have to take down the Japanese

An Interesting Botanical Fact.

One of the prettlest microscopical
studies is the examination of the lungs
of plant. Most people do not know a
pant has lungs, but it has, and its lungs
are in its leaves. Examined through a
high power microscope every leaf will
show thousands upon thousands of OPP
enings, infinitely small, of course, but
each provided with lips which, in many
species, are continually opening aud
closing. These openings lead to tiny
cavities in the body of the leaf, and by
the opening and closing of the cavity
air is continually passing in and out. SO
that the act of respiration is continually
going on. The sap Of the plant is thus
purified, just as the blood of an animal
is cleared Of impurities by passing
through the lungs, and the average
sized tree will, therefore, in the course
of day, do as much breathing as a

Insect-kilIing Lamps.

A device for destroying insects has
been successfully tested in one of the
parks in Munich. A rough framework
was built, with large electric protector
at the top. At the same point was a
powerful exhaust fan, operated by a
motor leading to kind of grinding mill
The insects, attracted by the light, would
be drawn by the draft into passage
leading them down to death and mutila-
ton in the grinder. In some parts of
Northern Europe it is claimed that these
pests have been turned into good &C
count, the crushed insects being mixed
with -four and water and baked, the
cake being used for feeding poultry

The LOST AT SEA.
BY JAMES OTIS Rockwell

BY JAMES OTIS ROChWElL.
Wife, who in thy deep devotion
.Puttest up prayer for one
Sailing on the STORMY ocean,
Hope no more-hiS' course is done,
Dream not when upon thy pillow,
That he Slumbers by thy side:
For his corpse beneath the billoW
Heaveth with the restless tide.
Children, who as sweet flowers growing,
Laugh amid the sorrOwing rains,
Know We many clouds are throwing
Shadows on your sire's remainsi
Where the hoarse, gray surge is rolling
With q mountains motion on,
Dream ye that It's voice is tolling
For your tatEer lost and gone!
When the sun looked on the water,
As hero in his grave,
Tinging with the hue of slaughter
Every blue and leaping wave.
Under the majestic ocean,
Where the giant current rolled,
Slept thy sire, without emotion,
Sweetly by a beam of gold.
And the silent sun beams Slanted,
Wavering through the crystal deep.
5 Till their Wonted splendors haunted
Those shut eyelids in their sleep.
Sands, like crumbled silver cleaning,
Sparkled through his raven hair;
But the sleep that knows no dreaming
Bound him in its silence there.
So we left him; and to tell thee
Of our sorrow and thine own,
OF the woe that there betel thee,
Come we, weary and alone.
That thine eye is quickly shaded,
That thy heart blood wildly flows,
That thy cheeks clear hue is faded,
Are the fruits of these new woes.
Children, whose meek eyes, inquiring,
Linger on your mothers face,
Know we that she is expiring,
That ye are an orphan race?
God be with you on the morrow,
Father, mother. both no more;
One within a grave of sorrow,
One upon the oceans floor.
