TO BE BROKEN UP.
An Infantry Regiment That May
Soon Cease to Exist.


The revelations concerning the discipline
and morals of the Fifteenth Regiment of
Infantry. U. S. A.. which came to light
during the recent trial of Lieutenant
Nancy for the murder of Captain He'd
burg. have created a great sensation In
army circles. The belief in high quarters.

pears to be that conspiracy had been en-
tered into between certain officers OF the
regiment to be rid of the presence OF Cap
tain Hedberg t any cost. and that this was
supplemented by an agreement 10 screen

done. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that after
thorOug sitting of the matter the officers
now under suspicion may be found guilt
less OF so heiuouS an otfense, but the eX-
oneratiOn must be thorough 10 satisfy the
authorities who have taken 1t In hand. Ii
IL IS found that it is possible 10 hound an
officer out of the army on pain of death the
War Department Is determined to know 1t,
in order that an example shall be made
that will act as deterrent of such crimes
Tor many years to come.
Meantime what is to become of the Fiji
teenth Infantry? Colonel Crofton will be
requested. we understand. afterthe present
trial to hand in his papers for retirement.
The Secretary has received several sug-
gestions as TO further action. When the
investigation into the conduct of certain
officers has been concluded. there is prop
osition to assign all the captains 10 other
regiments; another TO break uD the regl
ment and send its companies to various
posts; another is to distribute as many
officers as possible and to keep the enlisted
men together for assignment to Fort ID. A.
Russell as was originally intended. These
aud other suggestions are being carefully
considered at the department. but the con-
sensus of opinion is.that the Fifteenth can
not longer remain together as at present.

Snake Charming.

The secrets of snake charming are
much simpler than most people imagine.
The snakes to be handled are gorged
with food until they become drowsy, or
else they are drusscd 90 chat UlIcir
senses are dazed. Sometimes they are
kept in iceboxes, and the cold puts them
in a semitorpid condition. In either
case the snakes are only half alive.
In handling the reptile the hand must
always grasp it at certain places where
the head can be guided and held from
the body. This is the hardest thing to
learn; but, like everything else, it
comes with practice. By dint of dex-
terity and strength the snake is easily
passed from one hand to the other and
is allowed to coil about the body. The
snake charmer, however, must be on
the alert. When the snake becomes too
lively, it is put back into the icebox.
In handling a reptile with the fangs
in-which ought to be prohibited by
law-one requires great strength, as the
strain on the system during the per-
formance is very great. The grasp and
movements must be precise and accu-
rate. There is no room for hesitancy or
uncertainty. Most of the snakes han
died, however, are harmless so far as
poisoning is concerned.-Charles Rob-
inson in Lippincott's.

Popular Stones For JeweIry.

Through all changes, when every
stone seems to have its day, the diamond
stands alone, incom parable. In these
days stones are brought into prominence
to meet the demand for variety, and
such stones as the amethyst, the aqua
marine, the chrysoberyl, the golden
carnelian and many other stones known
as semiprecious are so wonderfully cut
and set as to greatly increase their in
trinsic value. These stones are very
fashionable just at present set in the
form of collar and girdle. The turquoise
has been more universally adopted in
recent years than any other stone. The
greatest number and some of the most
beautiful have of late years been found
in our own country. During the last
three years $4OO 900 worth Of American
turquoises have been used. And the
opal-that exquisite stone with its fairy
light dancing over its delicate surface
just now it is finding its reward aft
er many years of prejudice. Indeed, SO
far has the old superstition regarding
this stone been removed that it has be-
come, when set in diamonds, one OF the
chosen stones for the engagement ring,
and the woman who can claim among
her associates the most beautiful opal
is to be envied, not pitied. Jewellers
