SEVERAL officers from the regular
army have been detailed to give in
struction in the military drill in the
various schools of the country. The
idea cannot be too highly commended.
1t will keep the idle officers of the
War Department out of mischief,
and it will give the youths in school
the best kind of physical exercise and
graceful carriage besides. 1t is
nonsense to say that the military
drill fosters a warlike spirit in young
men and should therefore not be en-
couraged. The drill a soldier in the
regular army gets Of itself fosters
nothing but good health, strong,
active muscles and way of walking
and carrying ones self that ought to
be trained into every young person in
America. What Is more, the drill
ought to be participated in by girls
as we'll as boys in our public and
other high schools. 1t is equally as
good for both. Fanny Kemble said
she owed her fine, stately carriage
and good health to the fact that her
mother had herself and sister taught
the regular army exercise by drill
sergeant. Secretary Lamont's rec
concentration on this point is good

Cotton Farm Oh an Island.

An arrangement has just been en-
tered into by the State of Arkansas
with a Northern firm Of capitalists
by which all the States convicts are
to be transferred into sort of Gar
den of Eden where the mosquitoes
bite not and the alligator does not
pursue the festive pickaninny.
The spot chosen is a great farm
situated on an island in Chicot Lake,
which by reference to the map given
will be seen to be of most peculiar
formation, winding about the land
as it does in the shape of horseshoe,
meeting at two eXtremities the Mis-
sissippi River. The water surround
ings, Of course, make the place an
ideal one for the confinement of con-
victs. These malefactors, instead of
having to submit to the lockstep and
close confinement Of their Northern
brothers in crime, will work in the
open air and will be well housed and
well fed to such degree that it is
not believed they will try to escape,
especially as their work will not be
of a very laborious character.
When negotiations were begun by
the State of Arkansas for the lease
of Sunnyside there was considerable
opposition from certain sources, but
a thorough investigation of the prop
erty led the State officials to conclude
that it was the only tract of land fin
the State that would answer all the
purposes required and at the same
time prove self-sustaining and profit

THEY have their troubles and diff
ferences down in Tonga just as they
do in other places, but they overcome
them. News comes from Tonga that
the King has deposed Premier Tuku-
apo and appointed successor, prob
ably more to his royal liking. Then
the rest of the Cabinet walked the
official plank. One Secretary, how
ever, showed his displeasure at being
discharged by insulting the King and
later by firing three shots point blank
at his majesty Overcome with the
spirit of remorse, the militant official
called at the royal household the fol-
lowing morning and apologized for
having been so indiscreet and reas-
sured his sire Of his most distin-
guished consideration. Touched by
the expressions Of contrition, the
King freely granted amnesty to the
erring subject. 1t is sad common
tary on our boasted civilizated that
we must go to Tonga for lessons in
the sublimity and efficacy of true
Christian forgiveness ard repentance.
But where is Tonga, anyway?

able. 1t has heretofore been con.
sidered about the best the State could
do to receive a revenue of $3.50 to $40
per annum for each convict able
bodied and competent to do such
work as coal mining, railroad build
ing, ETC., but the revenue thus de-
rived was hardly sufficient to take
care of the weaker class of convicts
who were not physically able to work
at anything. 1t is estimated that by
this arrangement with the Sunnyside
plantation, not from mere figures
and what should he done, but from
actual results obtained in past years
in farming this land, very good
profit per year may be realized when
all is in working order. 1t is thought

AN illustration of the abect devo-
tion of some women to society is re-
lated in the New York Sun: A fash
ionable physician had been called
regularly every day to treat woman
who was very popular socially for
general debility and exhaustion. She
insisted upon dancing until three OF
four o'clock every morning, and her
days were perpetual round of recep.
tions, lunches and teas. She would
not take time for sufficient sleep,
and thought that the Doctor could
manage to pull her through the sea-
son by tonics OF various kinds. She
insisted upon continuing her social
rounds, So he hit upon plan for re-
organizing her day for her, and this
she now carries out to the letter.
Her day begins at three o'clock in
the afternoon instead Of ten in he
morning. Her rooms are darkencd,
and nothing is allowed to disturb her
rest until three o'clock. Then she
takes tepid bath and is put through
course of massage by Swedj =
woman. She is rubbed vigorously
and her blood forced into circulation.
Then she takes d cup Of chocolate,
dresses for the afternoon, and at four
o'clock steps into her carriage to
make her necessary calls. An hour
before dinner she lies down again in
darkened room. and, after dinner,
she goes at her own pace until three
or four O clock the next morning. The
only stipulation the Doctor made was
that before going to bed she should
drink pint OF milk and eat some
graham biscuits. AS it is dark at
half past four now, she has only
about an hour and half of day.

season.

Spontaneous Combustion of Arsenic.

Spontaneous Combustion Of Arsenic.
1t seems that, recently, powdered
metallic arsenic, which, in the proc
ess Of powdering had been moistened
with water to prevent busting, ex-
hibited the capability, not hither-
to recorded, of spontaneous combus-
tion. according to an account in a
German scientific paper. A quantity
of powdered arsenic had been re-
ceived in double paper bag, late in
the evening, and set aside over night
in basket containing other articles
packed in straw and sawdust. On
the following morning, upon opening
the store, the peculiar garlic-like
odor attracted attention to the bas-
ket containing the powdered arsenic.
An examination disclosed the fact
that the arsenic had agglutinated to
solid glowing mass, and that the
paper containers had been charred,
portion Of the straw being also
scorched. A number of bottles in the
basket had also burst, owing to the
high heat, and upon the charred
paper bags were sublimed some beau
tiful crystals of arsenious oxide. A
fire, which probably would have been
attributed to some other cause, was
in this case averted. Sun.

A VERY advanced Civil Marriag

A VERY advanced Civil Marriage
Bill has been introduced in the Hun.
garian legislative body, and, having
the Emperor's sanction, though he is
devout Catholic, will probably be
passed. 1t deals with all phases of
the marriage question, including en-
gagements and divorces, and is in

1t not only makes invalid any con-
tract Of marriage not made before

fine Of $3.50 upon any priest OF any
creed who sOlcmnizes a marriage be-
fore the cont act has thus been made.
The religious ceremony is thus re-

Of supererogation. Marriage with a
deceased wife's sister, SO long
wrangled over in England, is per-
mitted. Damages can be claimed for
breach of promise. Divorce is rele-

SUCCESS in life does not come by
having your own way every time.
Yielding little always helps to gain
a desired end, for every one feels
better to give up little of ones be-
longings than to lose the whole. It
is the quality of selflshness which is
an important factor in success. AS
the spirit OF the present day is tend
ing more towards arbitration as a
mode of settling the yexed questions
arising between capital of labor, so
should the same policy be pursued in
our daily life. Yielding little here
and there smooths many rough
place. In domestic life one finds the
most perfect house where there is
mutual forbearance. and in business
the most successful merchant the
one who does not seek to gain eyery
cent for himself.

consumes, but what the world wastes
that causes emptiness and want.
