The Value of Military Training.


To get the best possibilities for beauty
out of training we must have all round
influences for good. Among these 1
would place first military training for
youths. | say military rather than
gymnastic OF turn verein exercise, be-
cause sound drill includes something of
these and adds the moral influence of
discipline.
In my opinion it would be for the
benefit Of the country, the family and
the individual if every mothers son
were obliged to pass a certain amount
of military service before he could vote.
The military training is the only one
nowadays which teaches men to obey
and gives them any notion of the value
of obedience. No training makes men
so effective for every day use or leaves
them SC alert, prompt and full of re-
source. The adoption of military edu-
cation in earnest would lead to the ad-
justment of serious questions. physical
and national
The merely useless mechanical part of
drill which is mainly for parade pur-
poses would have to be dropped, and
useless schooling would have to be
thrown out.
A child taught to obey in the first
place and efficiently guided in study can
master the courses of our schools in half
the time now spent. This by the way
The great point about military training
is that it enforces exercise for a pur-
pose, not merely for the sake of exercise

An Odd Form of Courtshin.

Mr.. Mortimer Menpes, the artist, trav-
cling in the east in search of subjects, has
come upon curious form of courtship.
Sketching one day in Burmah, he no
ticed man little distance off glaring
fercely straight ahead of him at some
object he could not see from his position.
The man sat with the same fixed glare
the whole afternoon and was at it again
next morning. Mr.. Menpes had the Gu
riosity to ask an English visitor what it
meant. The reply was, "Oh. he is in
Lowell" And it was explained that this
was their method of courtship.
The object of the mans attentive gaze
was girl in aneighboring bazaar. When
young man falls in love. he has to seat
himself at certain distance from his
adored one and wait for her 70 do the
rest. If she looks in his direction once
or twice on the first or second day, he is
wildly encouraged, and if on the third
day she mods to him and smiles it is
time to go to the parents with reference
to the marriage settlements.-London

The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Every new treatment, every fresh
drug, every medicine that is discovered
is one more drop from the great ocean
of knowledge segregated that we may
study it for the benefit of mankind. In
it there are good and evil, but if we ap-
proach it with reverent earnestness and
study that we may know we can assure
ourselves that we are helping on the
great science to which we have devoted
our lives. This is reward enough. and
this reward shall surely come to the
physician who will work. The amelio-
ration of the physical ills of man is the
end and aim of our most noble profes
sion, and it is pleasant to remember that
even the enthusiasts aid in the great
work by their devotion to their fads.-

PENCIL POINTERS.

Senator Pugh, of Alabama, has writ
ten out his views, as follows: senator
Pugh says that the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman law would place silver
where it was under the act of 1873, and
would amount to a recognition and en-
forcement of that law which every Dem
ocrat has denounced as crime. Senator
Sherman wonld live to see his lifelong
financial policy, for which the Rupubli-
can party has struggled for twenty years,
fully vindicated by the voice of Demo
cratic Representatives. Sherman law
repelaed unconditionally leaves silver at
the mercy of its enemies. A majority of
both houses is Democratic and fearful
responsibility will rest upon those Dem
ocrats who aid in giving the enemies of
silver all they want, and that is the un-
conditional repeal of the Sherman law.
The Sherman law is not responsible for
existing conditions. It's perversiOn of
that law, and not the law as Congress
passed it. The banks made the law that
has been executed, and its execution as
made by the banks caused the mischief.
A majority of the Democratic Senators
cannot be driven or influenced to vote
for unconditional repeal" This is hard
to reconcile with Growers views, and
serves as an intimation of what may be
expected when Congress convenes.

OF the wool market Philadelphia firm
wrote as follows to one of their custom
ers: sixteen cents is the London value of
Ohio X X washed fleeces. We do not mean
to be understood as saying that wool will
drop to that figure, but trade is so demor-
allied over the prospect of tariff changes
that many mills are idle and therefore
have no use for wool. 1t is not ques-
ton as to whether it is free wool level
or not; they have closed the mills and
simply do not want to buy stock. We do
not know how long this state of affairs
is to continue, but the sooner Congress
gets through with the silver business and
takes up the tariff question the better it
will be for the wool business, as the wool
Ell goods business and consequently the
wool business, must wait until it is.known
what new rates are to be-" This does
not look encouraging, but truly. repre-
sents the situation.

| in others. Where it is thinnest the con-
fined, terrible forces of the under
world, chiefly in the form of gas, seek
constantly to escape, and when the
pressure of the atmosphere around the
earth is lowest the gas finds an outlet,
usually in wel1-defned districts, gener-
ally through the volcanic vent-holes.
But beyond the constant pressure of
gas, DR.. Falb has the theory that the
shaolic molten mass beneath us is sub
1eet to the influence of the moon,
which produces waves, and occasional
" great tidal waves, which sweep
round the inner crust of the world
with terrific force, shaking the earth
in Its passage. DR.. Falb publishes
every year list of the days on which
be expects seismic commissions. These
he calls Critical days"-and these
days are those when the moon ap-
proaches close to the earth. This year,
from April to August, the satellite will
approach at certain times closer to us
than usual, and will have, says DIR.
Falb. this disturbing influence.
DR.. Falb is a native Of Syria, in
Austria, the son Of a German miller,
and is now about fifty years of age.
His reputation as an earthquake proph-
ct, which began in 1870, was greatly
strengthened in 1880 in Agram. The
city had had a visitation of earth
qual1es, which seemed as If they would
never come to an end. In order to
calm the panic among the people the
city authorities asked Prof. Falb to
come from Vienna to give a series of
lectures.
He gave the people comforting as
surance, but told them that there was
one critical day yet to be passed,
namely, December 10, when there
would be violent shock, though it
would not be as bad as some that had
preceded it. December 16 passed and
no shock, but exactly at midnight his
prophecy was fulfilled and he himself
was almost thrown out of bed. His
fhme then spread all over Austria,
Germany and the world. He is a
Scientist whose prophecies command
serious scientific attention.

flag is the property of Mrs. S. B. Stat
ford, of Cottage City, Mass, who part
ed with it temporarily to allow its use
on the arrival of the fleet of American
and foreign ships at Sandy Hook.
The flag was designed from Wash
ington's coat-of-arms and made under
the direction of one John Brown by
the Misses Mary and Sarah Austin in
1777 in Philadelphia. The fve-pointed
star was used by direction of Gen.
Washington. The flag was first carried
by Capt. Jones on a small vessel on the
Schuylkill river. In the engagement
between the Bonhon1me Richard and
the Scraps the mast from which was
flown the flag was shot away, carrying
''Old Glory" with it. Lieut.. James B.
Stafford, father of the present owner
of the flag, plunged overheard, secured
the flag and nailed it to another mast.
The nail-holes are plainly shown in the
flag to-day.
