Photographing an Army.

A French photographer lately in
vented process by which bit or or
binary paper--the leaf of book. for
example-can be made sensitive to the
light without affecting the rest of the
page. Acting on this hint, the French
War Minister has begun to take por-
traits of conscripts and recruits on the
paper which gives their height, COM
plexion, age, and the cheapness and
swiftness of the operation, which is al
ready in use in the French army, is
something remarkable. IT costs only
one cent to get two copies of a portrait
of Jacques Bonhomme-one for his in
dividual register and the other for his
muster roll; and SO rapid is the process
that in few hours whole regiment
can be photographed. The soldiers file
along, one by one, and each sits for
three. seconds in the Photographic
chair. and the thing is done. They
even mark the mans regimental num-
Der on his breast with chalk, and thus
get complete identification of him in
case of desertion or death.

Josephine held in her lap until she took

incident had important consequences
for one of Napoleon's soldiers. The En-
press said:

the matter than be teasing my little

the Emperor received his information

To Purchase Valley Forge.

There is bill pending before the
Legislature of Pennsylvania for the
acquisition of Washington's old camp
ing ground at Valley Forge, and the
matter is one of timely interest when
the natal day of the great soldier and
patriot is being observed. The meas
ure contemplates the appropriation of
$50 acres of the land as public park
which will also be utilized for the an
nual encampment of the State troops
The purchase is to be made by a com
mission acting in conjunction with the
proper court, and the grounds are to
fitted up in accordance with the most
desirable plans submitted in n COM
petitive way.
The power of a State to purchase
grounds for ornamental purposes or in
response TO a sentiment however
worthy is one that should be exercised
under the most caraful restrictions;
but the associations that come with the
name of Valley Forge are of the
most inspiring and patriotic charac-
ter. No spot is more sacred in its cher
ished reminders of the most important
revolutionary struggle that history has
ever recorded. 'rhe thrilling story of
Valley Forge presents in it's strongest
light the undaunted courage that de-
fed the suffering of cold and hunger
and triumphed over discouragements
and universities which would have van
pushed men who had not unreservedly
stakcd their lives in the unequal con-
test forliberty. 1t was those exalted
qualities of patriotism that crowned
the arms Of our 'forefathers with sue
cess. Their achievements stand as an
imperishable monument; but prosper
ity should not withhold its tribute
when opportunity like this is presented,
and it is to be hoped that Pennsylvania
will carry out her worthy scheme.

Robbers Torture q BABY,

masked men entered the house of J. c.
McClelland, wealthy farmer of Fin
leyville, Pa. and upon the refusal of
Mrs. Kerr, married sister, to disclose

the desperadoes bound and gagged her.
They then took her baby into another
room where they stuck pins into It's
feet to make it, cry. The men who re-
manned in the room with Mrs. Kerr
told her the child was being killed,
and the only way to save its life was
to tell where the money wns secreted.
Failing 70 force her to tell they ran

curing anything. AS this is the third

proposal TO make London a glass
rooted city is the subject of long lev
ter by }. Newton Mappin to the Daily
News. The plan resembles one in Mr..
Bcllamy's Looking Backward" Mr..
Mappin says: The covering of Cheap
side, Poultry, Queen Victoria Street,
Regent Street, Bond Street or Oxford
Street with a glass roof may appear a
QuiXotic suggestion. but other, at first
sight, less practicable schemes have
been launched successfully, and the
world has not ceased to revolve on its
axis in consequence. The gain to the
great British public, or to that section
which rs in the habit of travelling the
main arteries of London, from n point
of comfort alone, should be sufficient
to warrant trial. Most people prefer
brightness and beauty to dirt and dis
comfort.
Nothing to my mind can have more
miserable and tawdry appearance than
leading London thoroughfare on a
wet day, when poor, dripping humanity
descends to the depth of dependency
and every object, animate and mani
mate, has washed-out appearance. A
change from the condition of things
would be delightful to all people con-
cerned-those who would reside under
glass, so TO speak, and those who
would use the thoroughfares for bust
ness purposes. The former would. of
course, be called upon to bear the ex-
pense of improvement.
If / say the outlay they would incur
would be returned to them in few
years, owing to the increased flow of
business to their doors and to the
lessencd expenditure upon paint and
cleaning. l should be under the mark.
Our wood and asphalt streets would
be dry, perfectly safe in all weathers,
and the lease of life doubled or trebled.
If the rain water were not preserved
for domestic use it could be usefully APP
piled in flushing the sewers with clean
water instead of liquid mud. The
health of the inhabitants. would be
greatly benefited by breathing a dry
atmosphere instead of Il damp, humid
one. Our clothes, boots, hats and gen
eral comfort would not suffer as thfy

of Rillitto Creek, Arr, when he saw u
big black hawk. He followed the fly
ing bird and at length came up with
il, perched on limb of tall cotton
wood tree. The mate of the hawk
which the Captain had been following
was sitting on the nest.
Hoping to secure Il trophy, Capt.
Bendire climbed up to the nest, in
which he found a single pale-blue egg.
The parent birds circled around, mani
Testing their anger at the intrusion by
shrill screams, but the Captain took
the egg. He put in his mouth for safe
keeping, as he required both hands for
descent.
Suddenly from his elevated perch he
caught sight of several Apache In
dams crouched in a small canon about
eighty yards distant. They were EVIL
IDENTITY watching him.
He was awake to his danger in an
instant, but he manifested no signs of
alarm and descended to the ground in
n leisurely manner. Had the Indians
perceived that they were discovered,
they would have been waiting for the
egg-huntcr at the foot of the tree.
AS It was, the captain reached the
ground, mounted his horse and started
on a gallop for the camp five miles dis
tant.
In a moment the Apaches broke cover
and pursued. They chased him nearly
TO the camp, but he reached 1t in safety
the egg still in his mouth. 1t was
unbrolen. Owing to its large size, the
captain had difficulty in removing Il
from his mouth without injuring It..
