CEpleasaEt Social Experiences Sometimes

Notwithstanding the fact that the eff
GERS Of the American army are the very
pink Of courtesy, they sometimes in
post and garrison life have very unpleas-
ant social experiences. An officer in q
garrison is assigned quarters not accord
ing to the necessities Of his family, but
in accordance with his rank.
1t therefore comes out quite frequent
II when a new officer is sent to post
that there are many changes Of quar-
tiers, SO rs to make room for him. When
a new major arrives, for instance, he
selects the quarters that suit him best,
it matters not who occupies them, pro-
vided the occupant is below him in
rank. He can turn out Il major lower
On the list or any captain or lieutenant,
and each of these when dispossessed can
choose for himself what quarters suit
HIM best il occupied by an inferior in
rank. One move. therefore, may make
dozen others The women OF the ar
my, IL Is SAID. are greater stickleTS for
their rights than the men. But the men
themselves, while preserving all the
forms of highest courtesy, sometimes
push their authority to the fullest limit
For instance, at \ two company post
in the west some years ago Il captain of
infantry was in command, as his COM
mission was of older date than that of
the captain of cavalry also there. The
two captains were mutually antipathic.
In their official intercourse all the forms
were observed, hut still ii was plain to
all that they cordially disliked each
other. Ono day the senior captain Or
iered the junior to take file Of men to
the forest and cut the irewood needed
for the winter. This duty ordinarily
would have been given To sergeant or
corporal. The cavalry captain had no
recourse al.l was obliged 30 obey. just
as he got outside the post the mail.

rhe Face MS Depicted by Some of the More
! Modern Artists.
Among the more modern paintings
representing the Saviour is that by Cor
reggie, painted in the sixteenth cen
tury. 1t represents Christ with short
curly beard. with long waving hair, sur
mounted by crown of thorns. There
is look of mute anguish OIL his face
that is heartrending, but nevertheless
the face is rather weak.
The most terrible likeness is that
painted at about the Same time as that
of Correggio by Albert Durer. 1t rep
resents powerful face, with \ Grecian
cast of countenance, with eyes distorted
by pain and anguish. and even q trifie
of anger is apparent.
The Christ Of Raphael, n coniempo-
rary of both the above, is an essentially
Italian. work, the face being Italian,
although the model for che forehead and
upper face was evidently woman
The Rembrandt Christ of the seventeenth
century wears an unpleasant expression
about the mouth and has too long face
to be perfect, Yet it is one of the great
artists last efforts.
Perhaps the most fantastic piSfnre Of
Christ is that painted i'll the fifteenth
century by Leonardo da Vinci. 1t rep

shoulder. cynical smile on his face.

The Price of Corn.

The corn crop OF this year Is the greatest
ever grown. Il IS estimated that II will
amount 10 more than 2.25O.OOo.OO bushels.
Last year the amount OF the crop was
only 1.2l2 CO., Just about half what 1t
IS this year.
What effect Will this immense crop have
upon the price OF corn? Unless the de-
mand is very extraordinary the price will
decline very considerably.
II the price does decline the snverites
Will use the decline as an argument in
favor Of the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver. The argument will not have any
weight with thinking men. but with those
who do not think. and who get their polit-
zeal opinions from those who Try 10 mis-
lead them, it viii have some weight. It
may have weight enough TO make silver

II is strange there are so many who
refuse to learn anything from experience.

Of almost all articles have been regulated

The price OF cotton was very low last
fall and winter. The reason was apparent.
There was an estimated crop of 100000
bales. That was more cotton than the
world wanted just then. and. consequent
". the price declined. The price is much
better now. owing to the prospect that
the crop viii be a short one The silver
ties have said, and they continue 20 say.
that the low price of cotton was due
wholly to the fact that our mints are
closed to the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver, and they have convinced many
cotton farmers that what they say is
true. Every fair-minded and intelligent
man cannot help seeing, however. that sill
Yer had nothing to do with the low price
of cotton. And the silveritcs must know
it hasn't. or else they would explain
why it was that cotton sold as low as 3l4
cents per pound in the years between
1910 and 1850. our minis were open TO the
free and unlimited coinage at that time.
1t is clear that the price of cotton has
no connection whatever with silver, and
yet the silverites have been trying to
make the people believe it has. and so If
the price of corn. owing to the large crop

direct result of the refusal to open the
minis TO the free and unlimited coinage
