Great Seal of the United States.
Every nation writes its ceremonial letters
in its own language. The Corean docu-
ments In crimson silk, already described. are
composed Of Chinese characters scattered
over many pages in quaint fashion. The
NEST extraordinary hen tracks are the Per
eicn, which are so elaborate as to afford an
opportunity for decorative effects In chirog-
raphy, such as are scarcely possible with
any other language Russia, Norway,
Sweden. China and japan furnish copies
of their letters in French. Corea sends q
copy in English always.
The great seal of the United States for
affixing to such letters Is not made In wax.
1t is simply stamped on a circular piece OF
paper, so as to form q sort OF embossed
design. This paper disk Is then attached
with mucilage so as to hold the flap OF
the envelope. 1t Is about two and q half
inches in diameter. At the Department OF
anybody from obtaining an impression OF
the great seal, which would be worth
good deal of money from the point OF view
of collectors. Most other nations use sim
liar Impressions for their seals on communi-
cations Of this kind. The Persian seal,
however, Is In bronze, with a gold crown.
The addresses on envelopes from Turkey
are busted while the ink Is wet with bronze
powder, so as to make the writing look
like gold. The seals are commonly pro-
tected in transit with q piece of tissue
paper, to preserve the design. Siam has
the oldest seal, with white elephant and
a pagoda.
The most recent ceremonial letters re-
ceived from the queen regent of the king
dom of Pays-Bas are on paper, with
wide margin of black, the lady being In
mourning. Pays-Bas is French for Meth
erlands, Of course.
The most remarkable royal signature is
that of Emperor William of Germany. 1t

republics. Often 1t is so exquisite that q
glass is needed to distinguish the fact that
1t Is not engraving. The English and Ger
man writing is comparatively poor and
coarse, though very legible.

TRAINING For FOOT BALL.
Best Way to Condition the Big Eel

From Outing.
There is always a cry for heavy men for
the rush line, particularly In and near the
center. These big fellows. with their al
dermanic proportions and over two hundred
pounds are generally used up very soon in
attempting to do as much as men who begin
in fairly good condition. If they are 10 be Of

work hard to get rid of their fat they should
not be put in the line every day. They

day-five minutes one day. ten another.
back to five the next, and 80 on, gradually
increasing the time as condition improves.
Big men out of condition have to carry
from ten to twenty-five, and possibly more.
pounds of useless weight. Their muscle IS
are being just as much overtaxed and more
liable to injury. They Will, of course, need
work other than that they get during their
short time in the daily practice to bring
them down to proper weight. This work
should be mainly running. not several miles
on a stretch, or even one mile, but short
spurts of about fifty yards. followed by
walks of about the same distance. The
rate of speed in the run should not be a
mans best. yet it should be much faster
than a long distance gait. The walk be-
tween the runs gives the muscles chance
to rest, allows the exercise to be kept up
longer. thus increasing perspiration and re-
duction of weight. 1t also tends to develop
speed, which the long. slow run does not,
and ii Is nearer like the work in football,
with its sudden rushes and it's correspond
ing rests between. While 1t is firing, there
is not the danger Of sprains, which are al
ways double with heavy men early in the
season. AS the special object with these
men Is to get off weight. and as the ma
jority of the young fellows eat from one
quarter to one-third more than they need.
it would be well to eat less, not paying so
much attention to the quality as the guam
tity. This can be done without loss of
strength, and is a great help in reducing. I
have seen big men, who might have been of
value, played so long each day that they
were Of no use when needed.

THE COCKROACH NUISANCE.
An Ingenious Device for Kidding the
House OF These Pests.

House OF These Pests.
The cockroach is one Of the torments Of
the housewife, for which there seems to be
no permanent cure. They are like ants. You
may rid yourself Of them for a time,
but back they come as soon as you have
ceased to be vigilant. The cockroach hides
itself in the daytime, and comes out only at
night. 1t will not come then IL there Is a
light in the room, for 1t detests light. About
the best way to get rid of them is to have
for each room infected a large tin pan,
smooth and shining and with high sides. In
the bottom of this pan put some bits of
cake or pie, or smear the bottom with mo-
lasses. Set it where the reaches are most
troublesome and lay bit of lath from the
table or floor to the edge Of the pan.
The reaches are fond of sweets, and they
will run up the lath to the pan, into which
they tumble, and are then unable to climb
up the smooth sides. When you rise in the
morning cremate the catch. and keep 1t up
till none are left. Be sure the sides of the
pan are perpendicular and deep, for they
can climb a short distance. Old lard cans
are excellent for this purpose. and old tin
buckets, but they must not be rusty. as the
reaches can then climb up and get away.
Several women have cleared their houses of
reaches in this way. 1t takes time and pa
thence. but when you are once rid of them
you can keep rid by this method.

Shooting Stars.
From the New York Telegram.

From the New York Telegram.
Almost every one has noticed on sSr:le
clear night the shooting of a luminous body
across some part Of the heavens, the path
being generally indicated by light streak.
There is probably never a night when there
is neither moonlight nor clouds that such
a phenomenon may not be seen, but there
are many persons that have no idea what
these shooting stars really are. The real
stars are of in space at distances so in
conceivably vast that no mind can grasp
the billions Of miles that separate the
nearest ones from our earth. They have
no such trains of light, and, however swift
may be their fight, from where they are
they could not cover the degrees of space
on the celestial concave that are covered
by these momentary torches that the gen.
eral mind considers as flying stars. From
the very best Information possessed this
phenomenon must be attributed to bodies
within the controlling energy Of the sun
a system Of spheres known as the planets,
and while these planets have also In some
cases attending satellites. all Of which
exhibit recognized periodictty OF move
ment, there evidently fields made up
Of myriads OF small bodies that do not come
within any kind Of telescope sight and
which circulate In zones or orbits around
the sun. Some Of these zones intersect the
elliptic path Of the earths orbit and thus,
coming within the terrestrial influence, hurl
themselves into the earth's atmosphere. It
Is these generally very small bodies that
make what we popularity call shooting stars,
and those we generally see are stragglers
disconnected from the main body or in It's
remote outskirts. 1t is the friction that
these bodies encounter when they impact
themselves into the atmospheric envelope
which thus serves US as bomb-proof and
that generates the heat that consumes
them. There are two periods in every year
when the chances are much increased to
observe these so-called stars. These periods
are about August ID and November Is.

THE LATEST.

President Dole's version of the Liliuo-
kalani affair is not calculated to strew
the path of Grover Cleveland with roses.
In fact it adds degree of humiliation
TO the Administration hitherto un-
dreamed of and entities Grover to the
privileges and emoluments of the Ounce
cap.
Mr.. Dole's statement is that the
Queen revolted against her own Gov
ernment. She became an insurgent
aud left her Government without an
ostensible head. The Provisional Gov
ernment was an inevitable result. The
better and more enlightened element
came to the fore and drew up a Repub-
lican constitution. Liliuokalani was

The more we hear of the Hawaii af-
fair the more ridiculous Grover Cleve-

to assist a selfdethroned queen to recti-
fy her own error is worthy place
among the songs of the nation.

THE WEATHER BUREAU.

The weather bureau again demon
strated its value yesterday by giving
timely warning Of the approach OF the
big storm of today. Early yesterday
morning warnings TO mariners were sent
outfrom every signal station, and hun
dreds of vessels remained in port that
otherwise would have put TO sea TO ell
counter the fiercest gale of the year. The
storm was heralded in the eearlydispatches
yesterday morning and at noon THE
News was selling on the streets, giving
the people of Providence the first inti-
nation of the coming staym. Modern
meteorological science has improved
wonderfully during the past few years,
and it is possible to forecast with approx
innate accuracy the weather condi-
tions for several days in advance. To
mariners, to farmers, business men and
transportation managers these advance
warnings are Of immense value. The
enterprising merchant who proposes TO
advertise bargain sale Serbs closely the
weather report in order to fix the date
of his sale; the mariner receiving notice
from the government of the coming
storm remains at his dock or rides safely
at anchor until the storm is over the
traffic manager begins early TO make
preparations for the approaching
trouble, and is therefore able to save
valuable time by not being caught nap
ping. The representation of the
weather is not an exact science, and
probably never can be. but the United
States Government has done much to
advance it to state of reliability, and
the money expended in conducting scien-
tific observations of weather conditions
probably gives as much satisfaction as
any like amount expended for other
purposes.

That bids you swear by the golden sign,

Protest From the Peace Society.

To THE EDITOR or The NEWS:
/ wish 10 protest In behalf of Christianity
against ths existence in some OF our
Churches OF a military organization called
the Boys Brigade" 10 Is the last ana
shrewdest move of the friends of war To keep
alive and respectable the old barbarous sys-
TEN of killing and destruction which the
rising tide of Christian principle ana
good sense is threatening soon 10 sweep away.
The friends of the brigade say That IL Is de-
signed To promote physical culture and true
manhood. l do not see why its existence Is
necessary for such purpose. Physical train
ing can be had by other and better ways,
especially In use of the gymnasium.
Manliness consists I'm purity, gentleness,
kindness. a spirit of forgiveness, obedience TO
conscience, moral self respect, voluntary
obedience--qualities often incompatible with
the life OF a soldier. his conduct being gov
erned by others, he not daring To disobey.
Boys should be taught that war and its asso-
Citations are foreign to Christianity, otherwise
when older the martial song, the fiery war
speech and hatred Of their country's enemies
will be more attractive than the church
hymn, the Sunday school hour, and the
lessons of love and forgiveness heard from the
pulpit. Christian ministers. who introduced
the brigade, doubtless have sincere desire TO
draw the boys TO the house of God and win
them 10 Christ, which is commendable, but a
right end cannot justify wrong means. A
bait so poisonous and deadly is sure to
counteract all the wholesome food afterwards
given.
There are mora young people now inter-
ested in church work than ever before, drawn
TO II by purely Christian motives, Boys are
not insensible to the beauties Of true
Christian spirit with the energy and high
courage to carry IL out.
