their instruction, soldierly bearing and ap
pearance in the review and mauRuvIes
yesterday before the lieutenant general Of
the army received the highest commenda
ton of that officer and members of his
staff. Especially was the appearance and
marching of The regiment in field dress
and equipment commended; while the
making OF shelter tent camp in six
minutes, and breaking camp, packing
aud forming for the march in three
minutes and forty seconds, was pro-
nounced "~wonderful' by the lieutenant

These performances, like those of the
target range, through which this regi-
ment has won the annual trophy six times
IN seven years, are results of careful
study and constant painstaking exercises,
to which all officers and non commissioned
officers have given intelligent and earnest
effort. They are peace victories, yet they

A Cooking Episode.

The people who know it all are so
tiresome that the verdant simplicity
of the novice in everyday affairs is
absolutely refreshing. Here is an in
cident about a young woman who
was making her first essay at house
keeping.
A friend had sent her by mail a
recipe for some new kind of bread.
giving her directions to take a por-
ton Of the dough at a time and
make it into the requisite form for
baking. This seemed explicit enough,
but what was the surprise of the
friend to receive a telegram from
the young housekeeper to this effect
What shall l do with the rest of
the dough? Please answer. DE

Not So Sure as Darwin.

One of the most striking features
of recent scientific congresses has
been the freedom with which the alb
solute truth of Darwinism has been
questioned. The very young men
are all for it, and the older ones have
already committed themselves for
good and all. But a generation is ar
irving at the years of discretion who
are by no means certain that Oar
win vas quite on the right track.
Professor Huxley was a trifle bitter
at the president of the British asso-
citation declaring himself on the side
of angels. But when a young Scotch
professor read a paper pointing out
the "Difficulties of Darwinism''
there was none of that noisy CON
tempt which would have been his
fate a few years ago. And at the in.
ternational geological congress at
Zurich Professor Won Zittel spoke
freely of the slender assistance which
geology gives to the theory of de.
scent. He even went so far as tC
affirm that in spite of all that had
been done paleontology afforded bu1
slender support to Darwinism. The
eagerness to reconcile fact and by,
pothesis had produced IN increasing
state of chaos. We are told by some
of those present that the effect o.
this bold descent into the enemy's
camp was startling.-London Chron

experts TO be the largest and richest
private collection of the kind in
America. 1t fills nearly a whole floor
of his large house, which is lighted
with special reference to seeing the
treasures to advantage, and none of
the great public museums have
specimens of a size, beauty and per
lection to surpass those that Mr.. Be-
ment has been patiently gathering
for the last 20 years or more The
leading dealers of this country have
standing orders to send him the best
of what comes to them, and they
willingly do so. What he does not
take is sent to the British museum

who should know that Nh. Dement'S

KEEPING TAB ON WATCHMEN.
Means by Which They Are Prevented
From Sleeping While on Duty.


From Sleeping While on Duty.
A night Waterman in Brooklyn, es-
pecially in one of the great stores or
buildings, has small chance of enjoy
ing gentle slumber while he is on
duty. Even if he does give way to
drowsiness he is apt to be rudely
awakened before he has had time to
get his eyes fairly closed, and this
awakening is done by the American
District Telegraph company.
The system employed is simple,
but effective. In each building of a
subscriber are placed calls, connected
with tickers in the district office of
the company. To reach the calls sue
cessively the Waterman has to trav-
erse the whole building from top to
bottom. There is a schedule made
out for him, showing the time at
which he must pull each call. If he
fails to do so at the appointed time,
he will soon be asked for an explana-
ton. For instance, in one of the large
dry goods houses there is a station,
as the calls are named, in the de-
livery room in the subbasement.
Here the signal must be turned in
for the first time at 7 p. m. At 7:02
D. m. a call must be sent in from
the soda water fountain ON the main
floor, at 7:04 from the front of the
main floor, and 81 on signals must
be turned in at intervals of two min
utes until the Waterman has gone
all over the store. Then at 8 O'Clock
he begins again and keeps up his
rounds until 6 o'clock in the morn
ing.
At the telegraph Office account is
kept of the signals. Each station has
a number. When the signal comes
in, a bell rings the number, and at
the same time it is recorded on a
tape. The operator first marks on
the tape the exact time of the signal,
and then on a sheet of paper pre-
pared for that purpose makes a rec
ord of the signal. On this same pa
per is printed the number of stations
the subscriber has and the time
when the signal should be received.
If the signal does not come in within
a short time of the hour and minute
set for it, a man is sent Immediately
to the building to find what the mat.
ter is, and the next morning a report
is sent to the main office and to the
subscriber, saying that the watch.
man failed to turn in a certain signal
the night before and giving the
watchman's excuse for his failure te
do so. By this system it is almost
impossible for anything to happen in
a building without the company
knowing it in a very short time.
Brooklyn is a quiet town and a Sc.
date one, and the men have a habit
of crossing the bridge of an evening
and launching forth into the pleas
ures of the metropolis, leaving theil
wives to take care of the houses.
Now, to help these wives in hours Of
need, the company has a system Of
calls by which a policeman, the fam
lily physician or a carriage can be
obtained in a short time. The sub
scriber leaves at the office the ad
dress of the family physician. Whe1
he is wanted, the lever of the cal.
box is pulled three times, and a MAJ
is sent out for him immediately from
the district office. If he can't be
found, the people Ire notified of the
fact.-New York Sun.

Frank Guard, Who Was Reared by the

Frank Guard, chief of scouts in
the United States army, is esteemed
by the people of Wyoming as more
than a rival of Buffalo Bill. Guard

parentage. His parents We're slain
by the Sioux in crossing the plains,

journey to Crook camp. On the way
he read afar the Indian signal fires
announcing the massacer of Custer
and his men. He brought the news
into Crooks camp, and the latte,

THE GREAT SAHARA.
Africa's Great Desert as 1t Is known to
the Geographers.

the G~eographers.
One-fifth of the whole African
continent is desert, the area being
estimated by Mr.. Ravenstein at "
2, $50, 900 square miles, of which all
but a small fraction is contained in
the tract of land popularity known as
the Sahara.
Except for some school children
who know better and schoolteachers
who are instrumental in that being
so, the misconception of the Sahara,
which is widespread, would be prac-
tically universal. The average man
pictures the Sahara as a vast sea of
sand, for the most part below sea
level, across which the camel speeds
before the poison blast of the
simeon from oasis to oasis. Schemes
for flooding the Sahara have come
before the public occasionally, and
we have read accounts of the vast
inland sea which might be formed,

steamers directly to the wealthy
states of the Sudan. The Sahara,
as known to the ~geographer, CORE.
spends badly with this conception.
for, III fact, there is no risk of the
"ship of the desert" ever being sup
planted by the ships of the sea. Few
parts are below sea level, and they
are small and scattered.
In the interior the desert is a plain
high above the sea level, covered
with vast dunes of red sand in many
parts; in others it is an elevated
plateau with lofty mountain ranges
of bare rocks intersected by stony
valleys. 1t IS arid, save where a
spring bubbles up and gives rise to a
small oasis of grass and palm trees.
The Sahara proper is unknown, ex-
cept for n few trade routes regular

These utilize the oaSeS as resting

and keep up communication between

From that time to this Guard has
been true to the whites. Sitting Bull
once offered 1000 ponies for his
scalp, and Guard always knew that
should he ever fall into the hands of
the savages death i'll its cruelest
guise would be his fate. He escaped
from the savages after hearing them
debate as to the most unpleasant
method of death for the prisoner.
Upon one occasion Guard, then out

slew their horses and crept away in

willing to slay the horses, but Guard
said that he meant to escape at once.
| This convinced the officer, and all
the horses ave II e killed.
That one was left by a fire to attract
the savages, and the men crept for
miles on their bellies and escaped.
On that night Guard, with tears in

man to do it. He went after a noted
desperate with a warrant not long
since and was met with a bullet from
a winchester. Guard dismounted il

Guard is likely to have a chance
for further distinction. He believes
that the government has not had tine

other uprising at Pine Ridge is in
evitable. That would be accompanied
by uprisings at other agencies and {
