 There has been much talk of late about the regular army of the United States and the national guard of the sew eral states The army is n little one, but, as the people believe. a good one. It numbers all told, including engineers, recruiting parties, hospital service, etc. less than 80, 900 men. There are 10 cavalry regiments with 432 officers and 6, O5O men. five artillery regiments with 2S0 officers and 3,675 men, 25 infantry regiments with SIT officers and l3, 125 men, engineer battalion, hospital serv- ice, Indian scouts, West Point cadets, signal corps and general service, ill which there are 567 officers and 1, l42 men. Q total of 20, 14S. Of this total about 20, : 900 may properly be spoken of as fight ing men, but this does not mean that tho entire 20, 900 could be put into the field ill case of an emergency requiring active service, for it would require 10, 0O0 men to guard the government's buildings, arsenals, forts, etc, removed from the scene of trouble.
 Of course the national guard, which is declared by General Howard, who has charge of tho forces at Governor s island ill New York harbor, to be n most efficient and well drilled body of men, could be called upon and ill any

And the singingI There was n vast diff ference between the spirited volume of harmony poured forth by thousands of voices properly led and the quavering notes of the few who used to gather at love feasts in the little tents Ut home. The same old hymns seemed to take on new and unsupported meanings, and when the feast was over the visitors felt ss if they had just dreamed a wonderful and glorious religious dream
 It is 25 years now since the pioneers of Ocean Grove pitched their first rough tents under the shade of the trees and within sight and sound of the waves that beat ceaselessly on the shore of New Jersey. They had no thought of the magnitude to which the meetings
 
 would attain. There was no plan in their mind for the founding of yearly camp meeting that should attain first national and then almost worldwide fame. Their only thought was that they had found pleasant camp ground, and they built rough beds of pine boughs for their nightly rest and pitched cen tral tent larger than any of the others under which to hold their meetings. Logs were used for seats, and pine nee dles, straw and small boughs for carpet ing. Every year the number of worship CTS at the new camp ground grew; every year improvements were made. A reg ular organization was formed, streets were laid out, and now Ocean Grove is veritable seaside city, as famous and as populous as the great seaside cities that are devoted to secular pleasures only. Long ago the tent in which the meetings were held the first year was replaced by a solidly built auditorium, and other smaller meeting places have been erected. This year a new audito- rum was opened when the first meeting of the season was held It deserves Q word or two of description.
 It covers nearly an acre of ground and will seat 10. 900 persons Its frame is of steel and iron, and its roof is of corrugated iron. The audience room is BIO feet long hy 161 feet wide; there arc galleries at the sides ls9 by 10 feet in size; at the rear there is gallery S4 by 24, and at the frSnt a space of lS7 by l5 feet is given up to the offices of the association, reception rooms, etc The ceiling, 55 feet above the floor, is built of pine. is parabOlic in shape and constructed with careful regard to acous- tics. So exceptionally successful have been the efforts of the architect in this regard that speaker can make himself heard in every part of the great cham Der without unduly raising his voice. There are 226 windows and doors: the altar rail is 9s feet long; the platform Is provided with ss4 folding chairs; ev-

then he jumped into his boat and rowed away round the point.
 Aslang sat before tho hut Her days work was done. She was thinking Thor would not come that evening. and that, therefore. many others might come in- stead, so she unfastened tho dog, and without saying anything walked farther on She sat down so that she could sec across the valley, but the mist was ris- ing there and prevented her looking down Then she chose another place, and without thinking more about it sat down so that she looked toward the side where lay tho ford. It seemed to bring peace to her soul when she could gaze far away across the water.
 As she sat there the fancy struck her that she was inclining to sing. so she chose a song with ''long drawn notes, ." and far and wide it sounded through the mountains. She liked to hear her self sing, so she began over again when the first verse was ended. But when she had sung the second it seemed to her as though some one answered from far down below. Dear me, what can that be?" thought Aslang. She stepped for ward to the edge and twined her arms round a slender birch which hung trem- bling over the precipice and looked down. But she could see nothing. The ford lay there calm and at rest Not a single bird skinned the water. So As lang sat herself down again, and again she began to sing. Once more came the answering voice in the same tones and nearer than the first time. That sound ha% ,r hra Ae lang jumped to her feet and again lean- ed over the cliff. And there down below at the foot of the rocky wall she saw n boat fastened. It looked like tiny nut shell, for it was very far down. She looked again and saw q fur cap and un- der it the figure of man climbing up the steep and barren cliff.
 "What can it be?' Aslang asked her self, and letting go the birch she step ped back. She dared not answer her own question. but well she knew who it was. She flung herself down upon the greensward and seized the grass with both hands. as though it were she who dared not loose her hold for fear of fall ing. But the grass came up by the roots She screamed aloud and dug her hands deeper and deeper into the soil She prayed to God to help him, but then it struck her that this feat of Thor's would be called tempting Prov idence," and therfore he could not ex- pect help from above.
 "Only just this once," she prayed Hear my prayer just this one time and help him" Then she threw her arms round the dog, as though it were Thor whom she was clasping. and rolled herself on the grass beside it.
 The time seemed to her quite endless.
 Suddenly the dog began to bark 'Bowwowr' said he to Aslang and jumped upon her. And again, Wow wow" Then over the edge of the cliff a coarse, round cap came to view. and Thor was in her armsl

Although this mag nificent meeting place has been in daily use since July 1, it will not be formally dedicated till Aug. 6.
 Tho camp meeting season proper will not begin until Aug 20 and will last 10 days, but daily gatherings of many sorts have been held since July 1 and will be held after the close of the camp meeting proper. Among them may be named Ocean Grove Sunday School assembly. Christian Arbitration and Peace society. Kings Daughters. Epworth league. Women's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal church. etc. A great feature of the camp meeting sea son is furnished by the daily surf meet ings when thousands ~ persons seat themselves on the sand by the ocean s edge and sing hymns to the accompani- ment of the waves.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the
 
 have undoubtedly made q good deal of money out of the camp ground, they still adhere to the notion of living in tents. Their tents have solid wooden floors, however, often with cottage ex- tensions to the rear and with double walls and roofs. The streets are laid out regularly and we'll macadamized; there are water and gas pipes and electric light wires and all the convepiences of modern life, including hotels and many boarding houses. Those who go there need not be religious, but they must ob- serve certain prescribed forms. and of course the religions element particu- larly Methodistic, predominates Unlike Chautauqua, Round Lake and other similar summer gatherings orig finally camp meetings. but now principal ly summer schools, Ocean Grove has never added educational features to its regular religious programme.

THE TOUCAN.
A Queer South American Bird With an Ex-

A Queer South American Bird With an Ex-
 traordinarily Large Hill.
 A queer kind is the toucan. It seems to have been made expressly to take charge of its huge banana shaped bcak, which, in some species, is fully inches in length and more than inches in width-entirely out of proportion to its comparatively small body. This bcak is the most brilliant possession of the toucan, being orange and black, scarlet and yellow or green and red, according to the species of the bird
 Its home is in the wild South Ameri- can woods, where, mingled with the screaming of parrots, macaws and other tropical birds, is heard its monotonous cry, "Tucano, tucano!" from which its name is probably derived. It is a fruit eater, and climbing among the branches it gathers its food with its long beak, whose strength no stem can resist
 The toucan nests in trees and 1t is uncertain whether 1t excavates its bur row or builds in a natural cavity. Nothing more comical can be imagined than the head of this creature, with its sparkling eyes and enormous, gayly col ored beak, appearing from a hollow in the trunk of some forest monarch. It is said that the young birds are subject to the attacks of monkeys and birds of prey, and that when the parent bird is alarmed all she has to do is to poke her head out of the aperture leading to the nest The assailant, seeing so huge a bill, fancies an animal of corresponding size behind it and leaves, without bow. ing or saying farewell
 Toucans are sociable birds and go ir large fiocks They make common cause against their enemies, such as owls and falcons, which they surround and mob, as the rocks do in England Having thus no need for protection, they arc noisy and clamorous, like parrots and monkeys.
 The plumaSe is generally black, but the throat is white, tinged with yellow and commonly edged beneath with red The tail Is nearly square or moderately rounded. with the upper feathers rcd and the lower scarlet Alterations oi the brighter colors are displayed in the feathers of the throat, the breast and the tail
 The bird is kept easily in conflne- ment, and no doubt from early times many were brought alive to Europe Some of its brilliant tints are very fleet ing. and they often leave little or nc trace after death, so that little idea oi it's beauty can be obtained from O stuffed specimen n-Philadelphia Times
