duced as Actual Residents.

Perhaps the most valuable acquisi-
ton Denver has made during the year
was the removal Of the headquarters
of the department of Arizona to this
city and the consequent formation of
the military department of Colorado.
The new department is the largest and
most important in the United States.
1t embraces within its borders the state
| of Colorado and the territories of Ari-
iona, Utah and New Mexico, and thir-
teen military posts of Importance, for
which supplies in a great measure are
purchased in Denver. The total ex-
| penditures reach over $1,000, 900 a year
of which amount between 100000 and
| $400, GOO is actually expended in this
city Preference is given to local man
ufacturers, as can be seen by inspec.
ton of the bids accepted by the CHIEF
commissary of subsistence, Colone
Bell.
The expenditures Of the chief quarter
master of the department of Arizona
alone, for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1898. were $685., 600 The department
of the Colorado embraces much more
territory and the expenditures for III,
Iyear ending June 30, 1894, are esti
mated at $750,000 or more The chic

A HINDoo's OPINION OF US.
How American Men and WOmel

How American Men and Women
Look to 4: sTan From the Far East.
Purshotam Rao Felang, a high-caste
Hindoo, resident of Bombay, who is
also a finger nail artist, that is, he EN-
bosses flowers, etc, on thin card board
with his nails, has arrived in San Fran
cisco to attend the Midwinter fair He
has written a book on his Impressions
of America in which are some COM
ments on things that are in the high
est degree striking and oftenumes
amusing. Among other things he says:
"This is a civilized nation and
man from the east has no right to
criticise 1t. Half-naked life-size pic
lures of women in all postures can be
exhibited in the streets for advertis-
ing. An actress can come half naked
Oh the stage. There is no shame in
this. It is all rnodesty. Rich ladies
and gentlemen with very high notions
of modesty and morality can go to the
theat]er and enjoy the sight of a half
naked actress.
| OF the masculine American he says:
| He is simple in manner and has no
stiffness in the backbone. He is cour-
teouS and obliging, quick OF percep-
ton to catch humor which he likes very
much. He is not dry, and he receives
Before marriage he is jolly and free,
after marriage he looks thoughtful and
sober. One can make out a married
man from a bachelor by his careworn
face So it seems the best time of his life
he enjoys is before marriage. He seems
to envy the bachelors who are free and
have their own will at home and
abroad. Often have I marked a gentle
man standing at the door when the
spouse went into the shop, and looked
little at ease. He carries her umbrel-
la. overcoat and other necessary things
and guards the wheeled chairs in
which he pushed or rather drew it, the
lady sitting in"
..Of the American woman he says

A Sensible Word.

woman of the world, 'sone accomplishment

to make herself, agreeable without de-
scendfne to make fun OF other people.
Much, not most OF the fun current
among young folks consists in picking
others 10 pieces. Bright people are given
10 using their wits very freely upon others
who have the misfortune to come near
them. Women especially regard the world
outside their immediate circle as created
to afford them amusement not of the
most 3miable kind. They are not discrim-
mating enough TO see what underlies ard
their fun. The addressed. hurried woman
is commonly trying to carry affairs whose
