Oficering and Recruiting the Regular
Army of the United States.
Officers for the army are obtained first
from the military academy at West
Point, second by promotion after exam
ination from the ranks, and third by
appointment, also after examination,
from civil life. One cadet a. time is
allowed at West Point froM each con-
pressional district, nominated by the
member of the house and ten are APP

Those who graduate, usually not more
than sixty annually, are appointed
second lieutenants. When the gradu-
ates do not fill all the vacancies. en-
listed men who have qualified before
examining boards of officers are Sc
lected, and if there still be vacancies
civilians may be appointed.
Enlisted men are obtained by an or
ganized general recruiting system
whose headquarters are in New York,
and of which colonel of the army is
selected as the superintendent There
are three general depots with officers
detailed from regiments and small
permanent party to partially prepare
all recruits for their companies, also
recruiting rendezvous in a dozen cities,
and temporary recruiting parties in
smaller places. Applicants are re-
ouired to be between twenty-one and
thirty years of age, of excellent physi-

remain on probation six days after
they have passed the medical examina-
ton. A description of the recruit is
made on a card, giving all marks or

An Elusive minister Who Did Not Know
Lucy Larcom.
Some years ago when gentleman
called upon Whittier on one of his
birthday anniversaries at Oak Knoll,
Danvers, the poet told an interesting
incident connected with Miss Lucy
Larcom.
She had been calling on him that
forenoon and while she was there a
very effusive minister, a stranger to
Whittier, called to pay his respects to
him. He recited quite dramatically Sc
lections from Whittier's writings and
finally said:
But l think the most beautiful
thing you have ever written was Han
nah Binding Shoes" and then pro-
ceeded to speak of it as one of the finest
poems in the language.
Yes" said Whittier, 81 think myself
it is beautiful thing. l always ad-
mired it."
Thus encouraged the minister recited
several stanzas of the poem in very
dramatic manner. AS he concluded,
Whittier, motioning to Miss Larcom,
said: "Allow me to introduce you to
the author of that poem.'
II think" said Whittier, as he told
the story afterward, with quiet laugh,
Il never saw man who so much de,
sired to nk through the floor as did

Mr.. Jones is of Lynn.
After a month of thought he went
into the hen industry on small scale.
He secured batch Of "chielss'' from
Mr. Smith and then asked the ages of
the various members of his new family.
Smith admitted that one of them was
peculiarly old.
81 bought her three years ago" he
said, 'and she was old then"
Jones kept hens until he was tired.
The most venerable of the lot was al
ways 'too old to kilP' but never an egg
did she release. Jones sold his brood,
the venerable one and all, to Mr.. Alley.
Jones' wife wanted fowl the other
day for fricasse. The butcher was
appealed to- He didn't have fowl
but he would get one. He did. Jones
wife boiled it for four hours but it was
not eatable. Jones suggested that she
reboil it the same afternoon and she
did. but the fowl was still far from
tender. The next day she boiled 1t
some more and it remained unpalata bic,
It had to be thrown away.
"Where did you get that fowl?" asked
Jones of the butcher.

A MEDICAL COLUMBUS,
The Discoverer of Alcohol and Ant
fnony.

mony.
The year,1s9 is not only the quadri-
centennial of the discovery of America,
but also that of the birth of Paracelsus,
the celebrated chemist and physician,
although his methods were of such a
character that in modern times we
should call him charlatan. 1t is said
that Paracelsus was also one of the first
discoverers of alcohol, which he called
the Elixir of Life" but demonstrated
the fallacy of his theory by himself dy-
ing sot. One of the most noted ex-
ploits of Paracelsus was in experimen,
tation with various drugs, one of w which
acquired its name from the peculiar
qualities which it exhibited Having
found peculiar substance, he tested
its medicinal virtues upon the monks of
a neighboring monastery with the eff
feet that each one of the persons who
took the medicine promptly died. From
this fact, he named the newly discov.
cred drug ''anti-monk," which in the
Spanish language is 'anti-monie, from
which we have 'antimony Good

A Cape Cod man wished to break a
hen from setting, and, for that purpose,
he filled her nest with egg-shaped bits
of ice, and he thus describes the result:
"She cuddled the ice-eggs under her
and clucked softly to them. In about
ten minutes she appeared to get un-
easy. She arose and scratched the dar-
lings together and shook herself then,
evidently satisfied, settled down again.
Soon she got up once more, this time
with evident concern. Something was
wrong, surely; perhaps the weather
was getting cold? She felt wet and
chilly; but, with great perseverance,
she sat down again, and again got up
this time for good. She walked out of
the box and then turned aud looked ia,
but she had had enough" = Golden

And by dew and shower, from its natal hour,
With honey and wine twas fed,

The perfect feast outspread.
For the rarest boon to the land they loved
Was the corr so rich and fair,
Nor star nor breeze Ger the farthest seas
Could find it's like elsewhere
In their holiest temples the Incas
offered the heavep,sent maize
Grains wrought Of gold in a silver fold,
For the sun s enraptured gaze;
And its harvest came to the wandering tribes
As the qods' own gift and seal;
And Moatezuma's festal bread
Was made of its sacred meal
Mar ow their cherished fields; but ours
Are broad as the continents breast,
And lavish as leaves and flowers, the sheaves
Bring plenty and Joy and rest
For they strew the plains and crowd the wains
When the reapers meet acmorn,
TIL blthe cheers ring and west winds sing
Asong for the garrered corn
The rose may bloom for England,
The lily for France unfold;
ireland may honor the shamrock,
Scotland her thistle bold;
But the shield of the great republic,
The glory of the west
Shall bear stalk OF the tasseled corn,
OF all our wealth the best.
The arbutus and the goldenrol
The heart Of the north may cheer,
And the mountain laurel for Maryland
Its royal clusters rear;
And jasmine and magnolia
The crest of the south adorn;
But the wide republics emblem

THE FALL OF A GIANT.
k'eiiihs One Of the Big Pines of the North

west.
A writer describes the saving down
of a big fir tree in Washington forest.
The two loggers were at work when
she arrived, each standing ON a spring
board, the end of which was slipped
into a notch cut in the base of the tree
four or five feet from the ground. She
had seen them spatter kerosene oil upon
the saw, which had begun to move
hard. Then after while the sound of
its motion changed from dry CRATE
to dull, soft mumble," and thick
stream of turpentine oozed out Of the
cleft. ''Pitch!' exclaimed both men in
tone of disgust.
There's barrels of it in this tree"
said one, land it's as slow as molasses
in January"
They settled themselves to work
again, but the saw moved with heavy
resistance.
You'd better get the can, Jim," said
the older man, and the other dropped
from his perch.
"Jest as well try to saw through a
stick of taffy candy as this kind of a
tree" explained the waiting logger.
Hes gone for the water can"
Jim came back presently, carrying a
leaky oil can heavy with water. A
wedge was driven into the tree well
above the saw, and the can hung upon
| the wedge, SO the water leaked down
| upon the saw as it worked in and out.
"What good does it do?'' asked, in
credulously.
"Don' know" returned Jim, laboring
at the saw, "but it makes awful easy
saving"
Sort O freezes the PITCH" said the
other, philosophically
AS a matter of fact; the saw did move
more freely, drawing in little cold
water each time, and the frozen"
pitch, mixed with water, frothed out in
a white foam. After long time of
heavy saving the teeth began to catch
more firmly, and a few more moments
work brought the saw very near to the
''under-cut.'
The fir stands beautifully erect. The
loggers squint up its length and say
oracularly which way it will fall. They
move the axes and can out of harm S
way and spring back to their perches.
The brooding silence of the forest is
absolute, save for the steady CRATE of
the saw in and out, like stertorous
breathing. Erect and motionless the
| tree waits.
The men nod TO each other; the saw
ing ceases; one handle is slipped off,
and the saw drawn all the way through
and laid back of the tree. One man
springs down and lifts his perch out,
and hands great mallet to the other,
who still stands upon his spring-board.
| The mallet is lifted and loud, sonoreus
chant rings through the stiffness: ''All
clear ahead! TIMBER
Then the mallet falls, once, twice,
thrice, upon the heads of the wedges.
There is slight creaking, the logger
fiings the ma1let aside and rushes back
ward, the cleft widens, the great green
head stirs. Then, with rushing, thun.
dering roar, mingled with the sound OF
the rending fibres of the trunk, the
giant tears its mighty arc through the
air. A cloud of blackness envelops the
| fall the air is dark with dust and MOSS
and flying fragments.
The roar is superb as the tree crashes
it's way through the underbrush, louder
than cannon, but with no harshness
more like some mighty breaker that
has climbed ten thousand miles of sea
to beat its heart out on a lonely shore

THE HYPHENATED NAME.
What the Mysterious Little Mark Signifies

What the Mysterious Little Mark Sign1nes
Does any one know the exact value
of hyphen in obtaining or retaining
standing in aristocratic society abroad?
We ask the question because We note
that certain persons who are supposed
to be in hot pursuit of such standing
have adopted the fashion of connecting
by hyphen names that used to be
written with entire independence ef
each other
Il there any occult charm for the cen
sors of transatlantic society in evil
liam-Smith," or in the ''William-
Smiths that does not lie in the ar
rangement usual in designating the
individual Smith whose hame is Will
liam, or in desi gnating his family? We
do not now speak of French society. The
French are notoriously given to excess
in the matter of hyphens, but they con-
fine it, ordinarily, to the first two or
three names, and even then to initials,
as Monsieur J.-Henry Snooks. They
would never write Henry-Snooks, or
'les Henry-Snooks.
In England, on the other hand, where
two family names are used they arc
united by hyphen sometimes. But
that has nothing to do with this mys.
terious sign between the given and the
Christian name. Can it be that there
are Americans who do not know that
this little topographic character has a
normal and proper use, and that the
real difference between plain John
Smith and Mr.. John-Smith is that the
former is not snobbish or contemplate
and the latter is both?-N. Y. Times.
