RECRUITING OFFICE, U. s.A.

Further investigation reveals the
fact that soldier In the uniform of
the United States army stands at at
tention in the doorway, his white
gloved hands held in military fash
ion at his sides, but holding neither
gun nor sword. He is a soldier of the
peace, the Office orderly who stands
there, not to guard the premises, but
to say, "This way, boys" to the
would-be recruits who are looking for
the enlistment Office. Then a dia-
logue something after this fashion
takes place;
Il want to jlne the army"
"Up-stairs, turn to the right, for
ward-march.
"Think III pass?"
"Reckon you will. Can't talk on
duty Go up and list.'"
Then the candidate for military
honors goes upstairs, dreading the or
deol at every step, and finds himself
in large room, where the recruiting
officer sits at table attended by a
Sergeant and an orderly in the i'm
posing uniform which the candidate
for enlistment hopes to don,
81 want to list, =" he says, APP
preaching the table.
The Captain locks up,
"Take of your hat"
The hat is sheepishly removed,
what is your age?"
"Twenty years old"
"Are your people willing?"
"They are, sir"
"Married?"
"No, SIR" (This may or may not
be true.)
"Ever been in jail?"
At this the candidate looks sur
prised and hurt, and answers in the
negative quite forcibly enough to be
convincing.
Then the sergeant takes the man
in hand, looks down his throat, ex-
amines his teeth, weighs him, takes
his height and finds out his reason
for wanting to enlist.
If he tips the beam at regulation
weight, not less than 120 nor more
than 100, and measures not less than
five feet four inches, he comes up to
the requirements of an able bodied
soldier, and is sent into another room
to disrobe. Then he is again weighed
and measured and put through a
course of physical exercise that
brings out any disability that may
exist in bold relief. If he is gym
nastically correct, can bend his body
like a contortionst, expand and con-
tract his chest without getting
breathless, prove that every toe and
finger is capable of active service,
and that his back is timber enough to
enable him to stoop either way, he is
accepted and registered and taken to
the Captains Office to be sworn in.

Tho Lords of Creation.

IL Is always amusing and at the
came time very pathetlcally sugges-
tive OF masculine vanity to hear d
no'accouHt man prate OF what the
woman who becomes his wife must
be- 1t matters not to this person
that this creature To be so honored
may have a word or two to say con.
corning the type of life partner she
would select, Oh, dear, no. A wo.
man has no voice In the matter. ANY
man Is sufficiently perfect to I'll the
roll OF husband-that iS according
to the egotistical view of life taken
by the lords of creation.
A man, no matter whether he Is
lame, halt, or blind; a man, no mat
ter whether he is able to earn his
salt or not always sets up an ideal
that Is to be his some day for the
asking. He candidly admits that he
may have TO search long while lor
her, because perfect women are so
hard to lnd, hut once he meets with
this jewel she will at once fall into
his arms, never questioning whether
little evening up Of accounts would
not be preferable to the one-sided
perfection he demands.
So many men talk in this silly
fashion that when woman comes
across one who reverences her sex In
this entirety regarding all woman
kind as so much better, nobler, and
lovelier than man ever could hope to
be, she has no hesltancY in declaring
that individual the one whom she
sincerely admires. 1t is such nom
sense for the average man to prate Of
perfect beauty Of face, form, and
character as the requisites wife OF
his must possess to win his fancy
He may think thai he will not I'm.
bend until this ideal is found, but
love Is blind and when once he
meets the woman who pleases him it
will not matter whether she possesses
even one Of the attributes that he
declared were requisite. Therefore,
let not man prate Of perfection save
in himself, for all the talking in the
world would never convince outsiders
that he possessed even Jithe Of the
virtues he talks so gliblY about

ARomnnce of Birnmv.

DO you know the story of the man
who had two wives and was held
blameless? His name was Count Won
Gleichen; he was a Thurlngian; and
it happened early in the thirteenth
century. The Count went forth, as
was customary to fight the Saracan,
who proved, as too often happened,
the better warrior and took him
prisoner. Therefore the Count was
carried off to the palace Of Noured-
din, where he was made a slave and
set to cultivate the delicious shallot
Of Ascalon in the garden of the
Calrene Callph, His good looks and
the knowledge that he was a great
noble in his own country attracted
the attention Of a certain princess
daughter of the sultan. She heard
his simple story; she wept for him; he
opened his arms; she wept with him.
She offered to effect his escape for
him on one condition-that he should
marry her.
ALAS madam" -- or your royal
highness, or your illustrlousness, or
whatever was the lady's style and
title under the rules Of the caliphate
AZ cannot" he replied. "At home
there languish for me wife and ten
der children"
why" she asked in maidenly sur
prise, "what ails the man? AS If
another wife or two would be any
obstacle. Do not the laws of the
prophet-whose name be blessed
and the customs Of the Cairene
Caliphate allow a man to have more
than one wife,"
He yielded; he promised; she was
as good as her word; in a few days
they embarked together in a ship
engaged by herself, and they arrived
in Venice in safety. Could - O
Christian moralistl-Could this noble
knight desert the princess to whom
he owed his freedom? Never, He
repaired to Rome; he laid the case
before the Pope. His Holiness, after
considering the matter, granted him
permission to keep both wives and to
be legally married to both. And the
story goes on to say that they all
lived together in the greatest happi-
ness, the Turkish lady being child
less, and loving her sister-wife's
children as much as if they were her
own.

Ment FOR Young Children.

Concerning the frequency with
which meat may properly be given to
children, says DIR. Flint, and regard
ing the time of day best suited to its
administration opinions differ widely.
The writer believes, on the basis of
his own experience, that children
under five years do best with only
one meat meal per diem, this being
best given in the morning or at noon,
After five years, both the breakfast
and the mid day meal may include
some meat An ideal dietetic sched-
ule, however, for most children,
would embrace eggs at breakfast
meat at noon aud bread and milk at
night, appropriate cereals being sup
piled with the eggs and meat All
meats for children should be carefully
cut into pieces, and children old
enough to cut their own meat should
be cautioned to make the pieces as
small as possible.

STARTING A FASHION.
How the Wearing of White Gloves Was
Initiated In Gotham.

How the Wearing OF White Gloves Was
Initiated In Gotham,
The ether day a young man wanted a
pair of evening gloves late at night,
and had to go over to Sixth avenue to
get them, says the New York Press
There was nothing of his size in stock
but pair Of white gloves, while pearl
alone are de rigueur. However, he
was dancing man and had to wear
gloves, so he bought the gloves and in
due course of time led the cotillon
wearing them. The chappies we. g as
founded. Nobody could question this
mans irreproachable taste, and in fact
he was something of leader of fash
ion. After supper a breathless deputa-
tion waited upon him to know whether
or not white gloves had come back
again.
I'm wearing them myself, you see,
dear boy" he said jokingly, but with a
slightly superior smile IL haven't
really heard whether the Prince has
found it ont yet or not.
Now your true dude is not suscepti-
BILE to the influence of irony, Besides,
the deputation was lustert at the in
novatiCn. The result was that they
mixed those speeches up, and in half
an hour everybody in the room was
saying that the Prince of Wales had
taken to wearing white gloves in the
evening, and that Tom Blank was the
first man in New York to hear of it,.
So white gloves and not pearl are now
the proper thing to wear in New York
City on dress occasions, and when our
man Of fashion strolled into the Metro
politan Opera House the other night
and looked around the circle he smiled
grimly. Half the mon in the boxes
looked as if they were carrying snow

category Of questions, and must
make affidavit that he has neither
wife nor child. The laws that regu-
late army life are then read to him.
He is shown the fate of the man who
enlists under false oath, or who,
once enlisted, deserts before his time
is up He has now the gala dress on
for which his soul has hankered, he
wears the regimentals of a private
soldier in the United States army.
He dare not walk out of that Office
without leave from his superior Off
Ger. He is an enlisted man for three
or five years, as the case may be, and
the recipient of $13 a month in
Uncle Sans money
The term of service for soldier
enlisting under the present rules of
army life is five years, but in accord
ance with a law passed in 1890 a sol
der sitter serving one year can pur-
chase an honorable discharge, $120
being the maximum price.
Although the pay Of private SOL
der seems almost Inadequate to meet
his living expenses, it must be re-
membered that in addition to the S13
month he receives his rations,
clothing, bedding, medical services
and medicines free.

and post schools, where men who
need instruction can be taught fair

branches, and where foreigners can
