The United States Treats Them Better
Than Any other Country.
An enlisted man serving on the
frontier has opportunities for sport
that would be envied by hundreds of
wealthy men, especially in the way of
hunting and fishing He plays all
kinds of outdoor games, is regular in
his habits, has stated times for meals
and for sleep, which all tend to the de-
velopment of his physical powers, and
the training he receives straightens
his frame and gives him an easy, up
right carriage that never after leaves
him until old age lays the weight of
its hand upon him.
The post exchange is fitted up with
billiard and pool room, lunch counter
and card room Only the best grades
of beer are sold there, and drunken
ness can not exist under present re-
stricted rules A pleasant room is al
ways set aside as reading room,
where current newspapers are on file,
and. in addition to this. each company
usually maintains a library. A post
school is maintained for six months of
the year, where he may improve his
mental condition If he desires. He is
provided with excellent clothing,
which, when altered to fit neatly, is
the nattiest uniform known.
A drunkard or other questionable
character may possibly creep in among
the men enlisted, but he is soon
spotted" and under the law that five
previous convictions by court-martial
are sufficient to award dishonorab BILE
discharge, he is soon gotten rid of It
is creditable to the army that all men
now serving in the ranks, except, pos
sibly, a few left over from the old
army, are capable of reading and writ
ing the English language-that is, in a
limited sense.
To enter the service a man must sub
init certificate of character from his
last employer, and in many other ways
satisfy the examining officer that he
is a worthy young man. If he be in
telligent, his services are sought by
the different department chiefs as
clerk, or in some other capacity. The
new laws which allows any enlisted
man of two years service to apply for
examination with a view of securing a
commission has already induced many
bright young men to enter the ranks.
If the people can only be prevailed up
on to cast aside the prejudice which
has blinded their Judgment of the
army for the past twenty-five years,
or young men will be only too will
ing to enlist and enjoy the benefits
that accrue during a three years term
of service. -IIarper's Weekly.

FASHION ECHOES.
Summer Collarettes - Popular Color
Iaces and RibbOus.

Summer Collarettes - Popular Colors
Laces and Ribbons
Huge collarettes of various sorts
have to a great extent taken the place
this hot weather of capes, but often
there is need of some sort of substan-
tial covering for the shoulders This,
this season, is supplied in many cases
by very full frilly cape of silk, crepon
or velvet, but the cape does not meet
in front, extending only little be-
yond the chest near the shoulders, and
a beholder of it wonders how il is ad-
justed. This is accomplished by
means of ribbon which passes under
the arm and buttons in the center of
the shoulders under the cape. The
fronts of the cape are turned back,
forming revers and revealing a very
handsome lining of rich brocade in
white, yellow, old rose, pale pink,
mauve or cerise. Some of these col
lets are no more than twelve inches In
length, but they are very full.
Blues that rival the cobalt of a mid
summer sky, pink like the changing
tones of the after glow of sunset,
greens that repeat every varying tint
of turf and foliage, grays like the
morning mists of the ocean, and every
conceivable shade of brown-these are
the summer colors favored of fashion
most frequently seen in union with
other tones, friendly or otherwise,
black in many cases acting as mediator,
this somber dye being brought into
requisition even with the daintiest
tints and fabrics, Its presence impart-
ing character to every class ofmaterial,
whether diaphanous or substantial.
Lace and black or other dark velvet
ribbon or ribbons of some description
to the class of dressy gowns now die
tated by fashion The very newest
ribbons have edges of jet or lace.
Black silk crepe-lisse ribbon is another
novel variety largely used to veil trim
mtngs of brilliant color. There are
likewise expensive hand-painted and
gauze ribbons with fringed or lace
edges-in short, never did the
ribbon weavers turn out so much
variety as the present product
of their looms. II now seems
dAluOSL IlldI not very
years ago the trade of ribbon weavers
In this country was almost at stand
still, and the Coventry work was so
ruinously slack that special appeal
was made to royalty beseeching them
to bestow their patronage on ribbon
and thus give an impetus to an almost
expiring industry. Previous to this
bonnets and hats in summer were
made of or trimmed with tulle, silk,
lace, net. etc; in winter with Terry
velvet, plain velvet, plush, etc, one
and all being trimmed chiefly with
flowers and feathers As trimming
for gowns, ribbon was hardly thought
of. and at that time it was impossible
to suppose anything approaching the
present popularity of and demand for
ribbon. At an Importing house of note
recently tour was made through an
immense room on the third floor Of the
great establishment where nothing
was displayed but boxes of ribbons of
every possible color. shade, pattern,
width and fabric, from lisse in
shadowy patterns to velvet and satin
brocade. The turn of fashions wheel
can bring aboutextraordinary changes.

WILL SHE REACH SUCCESS 2
Barrier of Sex DIsparaging to the Woman
Physician.


The woman doctor is already an ac-
complished fact, but as yet she has APP
parently made no considerable way in
public favor. 1t may be contended
that there is something in the art of
healing in accord with the primary In
stincts of woman's nature. But if we
look closer into the subject it will be
seen that there is more than mere
prejudice and ong-established custom
to account for the exclusion of the
female sex in the past from the prac-
tice of this calling. Have women the
calmness of nerve-the aplomb, so to
say-the steadiness of hand and
pulse for the work OF the surgeon?
1t is possible to suppose that a non
abnormal woman with her more high
ly-strung constitutional sensibility,
could amputate limb with the same
imperturbability t,iat we would look
for in the male operator?
To this it may be replied that, grant
ing a certain drawback to women by
reason of sex in the matter of surgical
expertness, the case is different with
the ''metier" of the physician, and
that here. at least, the sexes can COM
pete on terms of perfect equality. Yet,
again, as a matter of plain fact, are
the services of lady doctors much in
request with their own sex-nay, even
in those branches of the thera-
peutic art dealings with specially
feminine ailments? Moreover, II
the advanced woman's theory of
exact professional equality and in
difference as to sex is to be
maintained, why should any barrier
suggest itself to the consultation of
medical women by men, any more than
now exists to the calling in by women
of the male practitioner? But is there
no such barrier?
We have read OF a man here and
there resorting to lady experts in mas
sage, but that men should go to women
doctors and lay bare their bodily
symptoms in the same way women
have done from time immemorial to
their male medical advisers would be
a procedure repugnant on both sides
ard mot convenient" for obvious
reasons Here, then, while admitting
that sprinkle of females may, per-
haps, usefully find their mission in OBJ
tanning employment as doctors among
a limited number of their own sex, we
are brought face to face with the eX-
ternal and immutable disparity of SEX.

The Colonel Continues.

It would be a very good thing indeed
if all you children could know the Colonel
Il mean the gallant colonel.
There is lesson for US right there, and
it just walked in of its own accord, so L
suppose we shall have to learn it.
When we speak of military gentleman
we must always remember to say 1.-The
gallant captain, "the gallant omcer," etc.
And when we are talking of man who
is connected with the legal profession we
must be very careful, especially in his
presence, always to allude to "the learned
gentleman and 1.-The learned judge" )"
Between you and me, those pretixes 'gal-
liant" and learned do not mean very
much and there are those who make so
bold as to say that those who deserve
them least demand them most.
But to return to the story. The colonel

colonel so long ago as when there was war
in our country-a cruel war that many
good people would like to forget all about
The colonel wears white hair now and a
big white mustache. Old Father Time
forgot to touch the colonePs eyelashes,
though, and they are as black as coal.
Besides those eyebrows the colonel has a
fierce frown, and the biggest and tenderest
heart in the world.
He behaves very well nowadays, does

hood are quite in the habit of holding him
up as a pattern for their young sons.

The country, prior to its division between

The beauty of her fertile plains and

Maybe that's counting eggs in the nest.

Where no one sees but the bright blue skies.

Do they learn their lesson of one, two, threef
Do they count over and over again,

Poison on Bank Notes.

A bank cashier in Vienna recently died
from the effects of touching his lips with
his fingers when counting money. At an
examination OF the vaults it fell to his lot
to count large number of small bills,
and although repeatedly warned he con-
tinued mechanically to touch his lips
when his fingers became dry. That even
did not attend to it until swelling had
set in the next day. He then consulted a
surgeon, who insisted upon an immediate
operation on the tumor that had in the
meantime assumed alarming proportions;
but in spite of the operation the patient
died three days after of blood poisoning
