taHow IN SuSpenderS, too, there is quite a

it is said by those who have been watching
the progress of the companies that Capt.
Payne deserves the greatest amount of
credit for the excellent manner in which
he has conducted himself and his command
throughout the present year.
Capt. Burwell, however, also has a good
share in the commentator that has been
bestowed upon the companies jointly, for
since his advent to the position of captain
he has been an untiring worker for the
good of his command and has made some
advantageous changes. 1t may also be said
that the discipline existing at this school is
of the highest order. When an order is
given, the men obey it at once, and there
is no grumbling over supposed hardships
or personal injuries.
In speaking of the coming contest, Adju-
tant r. c. Bruce says: 1.-THE cadets of both
companies have put a good military ca
dence into their drills, and each man seems
to feel the individual responsibility that
rests upon him. This is the secret of sue
cess, for an officer can do nothing with his
men unless each man feels his responsible
ity for the success of his company. An
other necessary thing to the success of a
company is that the men work together.
These two things have been in a large
degree attained by the two companies, and
when the contest comes off, l believe that
the companies will be found to be nearly
equal"

From the New York Tribune
During the year 1894 the Church of Eng
land received voluntary contributions to
the amount of 1860, 400. in addition to
which Il, S9S was spent on building, re-
storing and otherwise improving the fabric
of the church. In speaking of this, the
London Daily News says: This enormous
income from voluntary sources. with it's
almost infinite possibilities of expansion.
throws a curious light upon the lamenta-
tons of those clergy who see in endow-
ments the only divinely appointed source of
their maintenance. 1t is startling as well
as gratifying to note that the voluntary
contributions even in Wales exceed the net
clerical income by f54.597 being a much
larger percentage than obtains in England

ON A MODERN CRUISER.
The Old-TiMc Sailor Objects to the
Ncw-Fangled Notions.

The OlG-EthC sailor ObJectS to the
Ncw-FanEled Notions.
From, the Chicago Record.
Curiously enough the old shellbacks in
the navy are down on the Soldiers Home.
They don't want "a snug harbor." They
insist upon staying upon cruising man-of-
war. and when they die they want to be
| buried at sea- But the officers say that
these old sea dogs are very troublesome on
a modern cruiser, where everything is Diff
ferent from what they were accustomed to
when they learned their trade. They OBJ
ject to the new-fangled equipment and the
improvements and conveniences that have
been introduced on modern vessels. They
object to sitting down at a table and eat
ing their meals off china plates, with knives
and forks, like civilized people, instead of
taking their ratons in little wooden tubs
al d squatting down on their launches in
the shelte. Of the lee gunwale while they
cut up their salt horse with jack-knifs.
They object to scrubbing the decks with
| newfangled rubber arrangement instead of
the old holystone, and refuse to obey cleo
trio signals because they have been accus-
toned to hear the officers yell at them from
the bridge or the quarter deck.
Nowadays the galeys on board of men-of-
war are capable of cooking fresh bread for
the sailors every day, which is a serious
grievance to the old-fashioned Jackie, who
prefers bareback to raised biscuits and
rolls. large supply of fresh meats is now
carrie in the patent refrigera tors on board
all the ships, and served to the sailors. al
ternating with salt beef and pork, at least
once day. This is emphaticaly objected
to by the veterans as an effeminate de-
parture from the rations they received
when they were apprenticed in historic
times.
The sailors of vessel that was recently
in Montevideo and Buenos Ayres were
served with tenderloin steaks for several
weeks because fresh meat was found to be
cheaper than salt pork down in that great
cattle country, but after about a week a
committee from the forecastle waited upon
the captain and said they desired to make
complaint about their grub. He was much
surprised at the suggestion. because he sup
posed they We're being unusually well fed,
and remarked that they were receiving the
same supplies that were furnished himself
and the officers in the wardroom They ad-
| mitted that this might be true, and added
that it was exactly what they were kick
ing about. The boys didn't like tenderloin
steaks; they wanted something they could
chaw on"

SMUGGLED IN NEWSPAPERS.
The Post Office People in Oregon
Make an Interesting Discovery.


From the Portland Orcsonian
Officials connected with the Post Office
Department in this city have discovered a
neat attempt to swindle the United States
government by smuggling kid gloves into
this city and escaping the payment of
duties. Some time since a sudden increase
in the newspaper mail between Hongkong.
China, and this city became apparent 1t
was surnised that certain persons had
become interested in the Japan-China war,
and were being supplied with newspapers
containing full accounts of the wars prog
ress, and the first lot of papers was de-
livered without question. Last Saturday
there was another batch of papers received,
many of them being addressed to women
in the city, and the suspicious of the post
Office authorities were aroused. Collector
Black of the customs service was informed
of the suspicious nature of the packages,
and thirteen of them We're turned over to
his custody for Investigation.
1t is required, when the postal officials
have cause to think that the mails are
being used for the purpose of smuggling
contraband goods, that the package under
suspicion must be given to the collector of
customs, and the party to whom the same
is addressed must open the same in the
presence of the customs official for in
spection. On Saturday d woman to whom
been sent called at the custom house to
receive the same from the collector if they
passed inspection after being opened and
examined. Within the folds of the papers
two pairs of kid gloves were found, and
examination of other bundles resulted in
similar finds. The gloves were all confis-
Gated by the collector, and will be sold at
auction in due time.
The woman stated to the collector that
she had an idea who sent the gloves, but
she refused to disclose any names, and
there is no law to compel her to do so.
Neither can the party sending the gloves
be molested, and the only thing that the
government can do is to seize the goods.
The gloves are of ordinary make, coming
in a variety of shades, but those who have
been receiving presents from such sources
will find the supply of gloves now cut off,
as every package of papers will be in
speeted. The duty on kid gloves Is Se per
cent of the value at port of Importation,
and in amount the money which the gov
eminent has lost is trifie.'

THROAT PARALYSIS.
From the Courier Herald, Saginaw, Mich.

It was publicly talked all over Glare county,

The Cause of Sleep During Sermons
Explained in u New Way.


From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
1 have scientific explanation of the SOM
Violence which overtakes people in church
1 used to think that it was the dizziness of
the sermon which provoked the sleep of
| the congregation. One remembers the ac-
tor who gave a private reading of his play
to a company of his friends, and when he
was done asked their opinion. At last,
| when one began to speak, the playwright
interrupted: You can have no opinion; you
were asleep" "Ah,' replied the critic. do
you not know that sleep is an opinion"
And sleep is certainly an opinion. and not
an especially ffattering one.
But it may not mean that the sermon is
really dull l have seen people sleep in
church under all manner of circumstances,
and in the hearing of the most admirable
preachers. preaching the most eloquent
sermons. 1 saw man asleep when Mr..
Sturgeon preached. Mr.. Moody has more
than once called out to have a window
opened to wake up Somnolent member OF
his audience Canon knox-Little Is &C
counted 4 preacher of more than usual
earnestness and power. yet l remember
once in Worcester seeing a minister, clad
in surplice and stole, and seated in the
chancel, go straight to sleep while the
canon preached. disregarding the eyes of
the congregation. And once when Mr..
Gore delivered sermon in that great alb
hey whore he is now canon, people who
shoals
No; my theory is that most times when
the congregation sleep during the sermon
they are simply hypnotized. For. consider
the situation. Most of the conditions which
the hypnotist desires are present. There
is dim and subdued light in the room; the
atmosphere is somewhat close, the temper
ature is high: somewhere behind the speak
er. in a position which compels the eyes of
the congregation, is a jet Of gas or sharp
CLEAN of electricity, into which they look
as the sermon proceeds: and the preacher
goes on and on and on, in a gentle and
moaotonous voice, and down and up like
a mothers lullaby; and behold, our eye
lids are pressed down against our will by
soft invisible fingers and everything is de-
liciously vague and far away, and suddenly
people stand up with an awakening sound
about us. and the preacher is pronouncing
the Inscription at the end of his sermon.
during whose wise and eloquent para
graphs we have humiliatingly slept. This
is hypnotic sleep. And it is the fault, not
only of the preacher, but of the whole con-
struction of our ill-ventilated and absurdly
lighted churches

the system. ami so it is generally agreed
among young men that there is nothing to
do but to take off their coats and go to
work at the real article.
They have therefore persuaded Col.
Bright, the sergeant-at-a with little
difficulty, indeed, to order that the grass
of the great lawn just north of the build
ing, bounded on the north by the main
pathway, shall not be cut with moving
machine. This lawn was ruined last sum-
mer by too close application by the NOW
ers, who drove their horse machines over
1t so frequently that the grass was parCh
ed and dead long before the summer was
fairly started. SO the fiat has gone forth
that the mac hines shall not be used on
this particular lawn, which is to be pre-
