The Kind of Ear That IL Rare.

The ear that Darwin illustrates in his
descent of Man. as being allied to the
pointed type belonging to our simian rela-
tlves is not as uncommon as many may
imagine. 1t is my observation that this
popularity OF the fold in question is oftener
to be observed in women, and in many of
these cases the persistence of the wisdom

one Of our leading cities and among their
social and intellectual forces.
The latter is a remarkable reversion to an
earlier type in ear. in teeth, in length of
arm, in painless childbirth, in fexibility

terlstics. 1t appears to me that the ear,
like the vermiform appendix, the suspen-
sion of the %viscera, the position of the ori-
flee of the bladder and the unprotected con-
dition of certain main arteries is vet in a
transitional state, and not fully adapted to
the newer human conditions imposed by
the erect position and the artilicialities of

Uncle Sans Advortising Schcme.

In Eighth avenue there 10 q recruiting Of
fee for the United States army. In front
of the premises during business hours ia
stationed an orderly whose erect figure,
bright new Uniform and fine soldierly bear
ing are we'll calculated to make a favorable
impression on the minds of discontinued
young men who may be taken with a sud
den impulse to enter tho service of their
country. On the streets in the neighbor-
hood there are generally to be seen two or
three robust and we'll fed young men In
the uniform Of privates lounging about in
a contented sort OF way, from whose leisure
ly manner it might easily be inferred that,
in tlmeof peace Mt least, the soldiers lot
was quite IA happy one.
1.-THE whole scheme Is a slick one" was
the remark Of an ex-private who only a few
weeks ago received an honorable discharge
from the regular army after six years Of
service in the west. 1.-THE whole scheme
is a slick one" he repeated, "and 1t catches
lots of fellows who are just az fresh and
green as | was when l enlisted in Philadcl-
phia nearly six years ago. Young fellows
who are out Of work or who are dissatisfied
with their positions, or who are in a desper-
ate frame OF mind after a spree, or who
are unhappy in their love affairs, acciden-
tally run across these recruiting officers, and
the idea suddenly pops into their heads
that it would be a mighty nice thing to
join the army n thus u away from their
troubles
"They see the orderly and the privates in
their neat bright uniforms, with apparently
nothing in the world to do but keep their
shoes and clothes we'll brushed, and what
was at first merely a vagrant notion be-
comes a determined resolution. They ap-
ply for enlistment, pass the necessary ex-
animation and almost beforethey are aware
of it have surrendered Il large share of their
personal freedom and become subjects OF
military discipline. But the natty orderly

store for those who join the regular army"

ECHOES FROM THE TENTS.
Col. Gordon Gives the Cavalry Some
Points to Remember.

The Georgia Hussars who returned
from Camp Northern spent yesterday
very quietly, catching up on sleep and
resting, so as to be ready to resume their
duties in business life.
Col. Gordon is very much pleased with
the record of the Hussars in camp, and
doesn't mind saying so. The manner in
which they acquitted themselves he said
was very creditable Their efficiency and
discipline was creditable to both officers
and men, and the esprit du corps of the
command was especially marked. After
the first two or three DAYS
Col Gordon made use of
the Hussars by detailing them to the 9th
er troops to act as non-cOmmiSsied officers
in teaching the men the squad drill,
which was a great advantage to the other
companies, and to the Hussars as well
being an experience of considerable bene-
fit in giving them greater confidence in
themselves. As soon as the other troops
saw the advantage Of this they were anx-
ious to have the Hussars detailed toassist
them, and on several days nearly every
man in the troop was thus engaged
Next TO the Hussars the Liberty indie
pendent Troop displayed the grea test eff
tciency, being rated a close second by
Col. Gordon. Troop of Jesup was cred
tied with the greatest improvement since
the last encampment, All the troops
were evidently greatly benefited by the
enCampmcnt.
THE COLONIES TALK TO THE TROOPS.
After the order for breaking camp had
been read after dress parade Friday
afternoon. Col. Gordon addressed some
remarks to the troops, laying stress upon
points which he regarded as of especial
Importance in military matters and to
which he desired them to give attention
He suggested several points which he
wanted every one to remember and act
upon so as to come to the next encampment
still better prepared TO receive instruc-
ton. He reminded the regiment that at
its first encampment Camp Richmond he
had called TO their attention the neces-
slty for prompt and cheerful obedience to
orders. 1t is the most difficult lesson that
a volunteer has to learn. Officers and
men composing troop are neigh bors and
friends; each accustomed to think for
himself 10 decide for himself and to act
for himself. The authority of the officer
only lasts while the troop is in camp or
during parade or drill. To obey, with
out murmur or dispute, a command from
one who few hours before was, and
a few hours later will be his
equal is CALLING TO anyone. But it is lust
as impossible to manage armies without
such obedience, as it would be to run a
piece of machinery in which each wheel
and spring was allowed to decide and act
for itself. When the volunteer has real

a Voice Saved the Lives OF Faith
less wife and Her Lover.

b e.. Jenkins @ negro wharf lab0rer.
toll the police a queer story last night
Jenkins seemed tohaVe been under strong
excitement. He said he had started 20
commit, murder and had been prevented
br God from doing so. He stood over a
man with an uplifted knife. but his hand
was restrained by voice from above.
jenkins story is that his wife left him
about two months ago and he did not
know what had become other. They had
a little step-child, and the other night the
child appeared 10 him in q dream and
told him that his wife was living with
another man at her mothers house,and di-
rectcd him how he might catch them.
Jenkins said he sharpeued his knife
last night and went in search Of his re
creant wife and her lover. He found
them in her mothers house in Henry
street lane, one door from the corner Of
Lincoln. He entered, as he was directed
in his dream, and found his wife and her
lover, James Kenan, in bed asleep He
lifted his knife with the intention Of kill
ing them, butas heidi so a voice seemed to
come down through the roof Jenkins
said, asking if it was worth while to COM
NIT murder for such a woman. This
shattered his resolution, and taking up
Kenan's trousers he went to the door and
took a knife from the pockets. He
walked across the street and discussed
the matter with Sergeant Thorpe,
of the Ocean steamship police
The sergeant advised him not to kill
Kenan. He was undecided and went
back to the house and stood again over
the unconscious pair, knife in hand He
concluded, however, to accept the advice
of the voice and left them undisturbed.
The guilty couple slept on unconscious
how near death had been to them. Jenk-
ms walked out of the house and discussed
his affairs with the neighbors in such loud
tones that the couple were awakened and
came out to see what was the matter.

about Alice Whites Escape.
Solicitor-GeneralF Fraser said yesterday
that he would write Principal Keeper.
Jones. of the penitentiary this morning
with regard to the escape of the notorious
Alice White, who was sent to Mattox's
camp sometime ago for kidnapping.
The matter has not yet been brought to
his attention officially, but he believes
that the facts as reported in the case de-
mand an investigation He will write for
official information with regard TO the facts
in the case, and if they are as reported
that she escaped through the aid OF some
of the guards for the reasons given, he
will lay the matter before Gov. Northen,
who will probably demand an official in
vestigation.
The authorities of the camp are liable
TO 500 fine for allowing her to escape,
and If the facts in regard to the case are
found as reported some of the guards
may be held criminally liable.
j. Solicitor Fraser says he would recon-
mend that the girl be pardoned if there
