Interested Spectators.
Thousands of spectators were on the
grounds to witness the competition. Nearly
half of the National Fencibles were group

Guardsmen, in uniform and in civilian at

The Fencibles took a deep interest in the
drill of the Morton Cadets. they being men,
bers of the same battalion, but chee-ed the
excellent work of each command in an i'm
partial manner.
Although the ground was very uneven,
which prevented good alignment, both COM
panies did unusually well. To the general
spectator and to the military critics pres
ent the drill was an exceedingly close one,
and required excellent judgment to decide
which was the winning organization.

and Capt. Walsh one hour before the COM

From the Philadelphia Press.
1t is becoming more and more fad with
smart people to use the double surname.
"Parke-Smiths" and "Royce-Jones" are
growing very common among that set. One
ermy officer started the idea for himself
a while ago by calling himsef-we will say,
"Hcughton-Hess.' His fellow officers would
have lone of Il, however. They always
speak Of him as "Hypheo Hess"

errors were apparent in the manual Of

by the captain. and then incorrectly fixed

The Decision Of the Judges.

sacred" Water Analysed.

A scientific analysis has lately been
made in England of the Zem-Zem water
from the sacred we'll at Mecca, which,
according to the Arabs, is the we'll that
the angel showed to Hagar, and whose
water saved the life of Ishmael. After
reading the results Of this analysis one
cannot wonder that pilgrims who drink
the water are frequently attacked by
cholera.
The specimen examined, which was
Theoretically scaled in tin bottles 40
years ago by Sir Richard Burton during
his visit to Mecca in the disguise of a
dervish, contained 80 grains of chlorine
to the gallon. Water which contains so
little as 9 grains of chlorine to the gal
Ion is ordinarily regarded as scarcely fit
for human consumption.
Moreover, in the case of the Zem-Zem
we'll, it is believed that the chlorine
originates from the custom Of pouring
the water over the pilgrims and allow
ing 1t to run back into the well. The
sacred water was found to possess an
extraordinary degree Of hardness, -
three times as great as that of average
water. 1t also held 30 times as much
ammonia compounds as drinking water
should contain.
No bacteria were discovered, but this
is accounted for by the fact that the
water had remained for so long a time
sealed up in entire darkness Forty
years Of such confinement had complete
" sterilized il, but the chemical inn
purities remained Youths Compan-
ion.

A Patent.

Letters patent have been taken out by
a woman in Madison, N. j., for an i'm
provement in envelopes. The invention
consists in printing a small device of any
shape on the under side of the flap of the
gummed envelope in a sensitive fluid,
stable when dry, but which will run or
spread on the application Of steam or
moisture, thereby showing at once that
the letter has been tempered with. The
government has recently invited in
ventors to submit their ideas for some
means of detecting the unlawful opening
Of sealed letters. " Washington Star.

Blood as q Medicine.

"Let me have three ounces Of that
bottled blood quickP' bids fair yet to
become q not uncommon order in the
corner drug store. According to a well
known Philadelphia physician, startling
progress has been made in blood healing,
or hematherapy. Blood is not only
life, he declares, but lives itself In
dependently. 1t is a highly organized
living tissue simply in the transition
state. It a be made to live apart from
the body indefinitely in perfect condi-
ton and can then be returned into any
tissue by any opening at any time, when
1t will instantly resume its full creative
activity. 1t can even be swallowed
when the patient, suffering from drain
ing Of blood or hemorrhages, can take
no other drink. Death from blood star
walton will n day be exceedingly rare
indeed, and these corked up vital corpus
cles will be used not only for immi-
nently dangerous but for ~intractable
lingering cases. "-Philadelphia Record
