exposition is not entirely ready forthe offlclal

makes it safe to predict it will not bet will
not be for want of beginning the work or
preparation in time. The site has not yet
been selected definitely, but it is suspected
with some reasonableEess that the govern
ment officials favor the location occupied by
the exposition OF 1889, though they are MAX
ing pretenses OF examining other proposed
sites with great deal OF particularly.
The Commissioner-General has been Sc
lecsed, however. and his appointment caused
not little surprise. Heis VI. Alfred Picard.
q Counselor of State. who has been acting as
president Of the commission appointed by the
Minister of Commerce and Industry to pass
upon the availability Of the different sites
submitted for the fair. NJ. Berger. pronl-
nent official OF the Exposition of 1889, was
almost sure OF getting the appointment. and
it was even said it had been promised him by
Minister Terrier. His failure to get It Is
ascribed to the governments dissatisfaction
with his course in the Chamber OF Deputies.
OF which he is a member.
Mr.. Picard is forty-eight years OF age. He

School. and after his graduation there entered
the government School OF Bridges AMI Roads.
He SERVED with the engineers during the
Franco-Prussian war and was promoted to
be chief of the engIn ,er corps at Verlun. H"

man. Each member of the Lower
House is entitled to have one cadet at
the academy all the time. If each can
didate that he nominated were ad-
mitted and graduated the Congress
man would have a selection every four
years Many candidates fail on the en-
trance examinations, and only about
fifty per cent. OF those who are ad-
mitted are successful in graduating, so
that every year or two the Congress-
man is apt to find himself with cadet
appointment to bestow on some boy
residing in his district, and between
the age of seventeen and twenty-five.
The President has the appointment
of one cadet from the District Of Co.
lumbia and ten from the United States
at large. The sat large appoint
:nents are usually given to the SONS of
army and navy officers, who, from the
nature of their position, do not, as n
rnle. remain long enough III one plncc
to acquire the necessary legal rasi-
dence. There arc usually four or five
hundred applications for each OF the
cadet appointments At the Presidents
disposal.
Those candidates who pass the en-
trance examinations are admitted III
June, and Immediately upon reporting
st West Point are put under military
discipline, which. as long as they re-
main at the academy, never relaxes.
These new arrivals are known in cndet
parlance as ''beasts," and the separate
part of cadet barracks to which the

~ VERY one who travels for the
H first time along the beautiful
Hudson between New York
and Albany asks for West
Point, and is disappointed, says Charles
Hine in the st. Louis Republic, to find
how little of interest can be seen from
the boat or train. The United States
Military Academy is on broad plateau
several hundred feet above the river
and the railroads. It is well worth
ones while, however, to stop off at
West Point and proceed up the grad
ualiy ascending road to "the plain, "
which on large scale corresponds to
the usual college campus. Here the
visitor finds little world peculiar to
itself. Nature and man have cooper
ated to make one of earth's most beau
tiful spots one of it's most useful as
we'll. Shut in by the Highlands OF the
Hudson, which rise in the rear Of the
grounds like small mountains, the mill
tary cadet learns the rudiments OF the
art of war amid the most peaceful sur
roundings. So quiet is the place that
the casual visitor fancies the cadet
must float as lazily through the
academy as does the flag in the breeze.
Could The visitor follow the cadet
from reveille until taps he would con-
clude that the latter has great deal
to do besides wearing fine clothes and
dancing the german. The writer has
labored sixteen hours day on the
farm, but never in the busiest agricul-
tural season did he work as he did
while cadet at West Point. To un-
derstand fully how this is true one
must follow out in detail the compre-
hensive system requiring the great
amount of work that the cadet is called
upon to perform. 'a.
West Point, in view of its unique po-
sition in the educational world, has a
system peculiarly its own. The line
at which it divides from other great
institutions is that itpays it's students a
small salary to cover oil their expenses,

A Rival to Oak.

The representative of a well.known
firm of builders informs me that he
has hit upon discovery in a Borneo
wood called "bilian." 1t has o very
close grain, and in appearance is not
unlike ebony, more especially after
exposure to the air. Its main virtue,
however, consists in its breaking strain,
which is greater even than that of
English oak. Moreover, "biisn" is
not particularly heavy wood, since
it only weighs sixty pounds per cubic
foot, against the eighty pounds OF
boxwood. Further, it seems remark
ably free from the propensity to swell
in water, and so would be extremely
useful for subaqueous piles, besides
being most suitable for beams and up
rights in domestic architecture

them busy from morning until night
The old cadets 60 into camp on cor
ner of the grounds about the middle of
June. In July the new cadets follow,
and camp is maintained until the end
of August. Meanwhile, the new cadets
have become full-fedged fourth-class
men, and are now known as ''plebes, -
a name which clings to them until the
following June, or whole year. A
sharp line separates the plebe from his
colleagues of the other three classes.
Among his own classmates he is called
by his last name, or, if fpopular, by his
first, but to an upper classman he is
always Mister" Se-and-so.; When adj
dressing ON older cadet he must always
prefix "Mister' and end up with q
sir, and in return he receives the same
courtesies with scrupulous exactness
The following dialogue between an old
cadet and a plebe after his arrival in
camp is of hourly occurrence.
"Whatf is your name, sir?" :
''Mr. Smith, sir. "
"Where are you from, MIR. Smith?'
''From California, sir. !" &

MR. RAPPELYE'S PROPOSAL.


"Dr. Elfenstein." said Mr.. Gray, @my
client and friend, Mr.. Leon Rappelye,

lngs are so great that he has deDutized
me to explain his motive in sending so
uncerenoniously for you to " ~ him in

while in the usual case it is the stu
dent who does the paying. This fact
enables West Point to do about as it
pleases, and TO withdraw from the in
iividual cadet that much coveted
privilege. The result is an iron dis
,ipline, which, with salutary restric-
lions, is wisely administered for the
best interests; of all concerned. 1t
must be remembered that this is q Ma
tional school, maintained by the peo-
pie, and that the object in view is the
+ education OF an officer fitted to repre-
sent those people in the army, all the
more important on account of its small
size, which forms the rucleus of their
defenders.
By this time the visitor is inquiring
about the trim cadet, whom he has
seen disappearing around the corner
of the barracks in response to the SOL
emn call of bugle. First of all, how
did he become cadet? He was ap-
pointed by the War Department on
the recommendation of his Congress-

Flower Rome at Dinners.

A vogue in Paris is to drape pictures
and screens and ornament the table
with heavy ropes of flowers Not only
does this coil 60 on the table, but the
floral rope is sometimes attached across
the backs of the chairs about round
table, so that when the guests are
seated they have the appearance of
being united by chain of blossoms
and foliage. A brilliant effect was
produced at dinner recently by the
use of scarlet geraniams twined in this
way in smilax and fern leaf asparagus.

TODAY.
~ MRS. NAPOLEON d. MoRANan.

The flowers by the lone wayside
Look smiling to the sun above;
They live their lives, are satisfied,
Nor question Gods pervading love
The JOY Of their being lies
In living, in the present hour;
They ask no bounty from the skies
But sunshine, air and gentle shower.
The storms obey a secret will,
And move majestic on their course;
They have a purpose to fulfill,
Why pause to cavl at its source?
The new-blown rose is queen to-dayj
The breeze is in its dancing mood;
That both must shortly pass away
Makes neither on the morrow brood.
To-day, to-day, is Natures song;
To-day her gifts are heaven-sent;
OF all her plant, happy throng,
Man sounds the note of discomfort
He overlooks the fruitage rare;
The glory of the harvest field;
he takes sad and meagre share
OF all the gladstone earth can yield
he wastes maturity in strife,
In impotent and vague unrest;
Forgets that at the feast Of life
Ee is the chief invited guest.
To-day, to-day, is Natures song;
Build well to-day, the past forget;
Live for to-day, its joys prolong;
Tomorrow is q dream as yet.
