A NEW ARMY DEPARTURE.
Soldiers to Be Given Systematic
 Training in Athletics.
Highly Popular with the Men : Gen Miles Pet Plan in operatlon-Foot- ball and Other Matches for
 Uncle Sam's Men.
[copYRIaHr. 1896. l


 Uncle Sam has concluded that pro longed peace is making his soldiers altogether too fat. Hereafter they must be trained down; and among other things they must learn to run. It is not meant to insinuate that run ming is hereafter to be the favorite mode of warfare of our forces, unless in pursuit of a fleeing enemy; but it is essential for soldier to be active and he is we'll versed in the mannal of arms and can go through the bayonet exercise without danger to his com rades; his calling is one which requires an athletic physique, and the army au- thorities propose to see that he gets it.
 ''An athletic team will immediately be formed at every post in the depart- ment of Colorado, in accordance with specified rules, to be commanded by q commissioned officer, selected by the post commander"
 So reads the order issued by Gen. Wheaton, U. S. A., commanding the department in question. The order has been approved by the war department and by Maj Gen. Miles, commander in chief of the army of the United States, and, in consequence, field athletics are to become just as much recognized part of the soldiers training as drill or target practice.
 For long time past Gen. Miles has been urging upon the department at Washington the importance of giving the rank and file of the army athletic instruction; and now that the depart ment has at length approved of the suggestion, the different commanders are promptly acting upon it, and ath- letic teams are being formed at every fort and army post throrghout the country. Matches between the teams of different posts are also to be ar. ranged.
 Athletic teams, as rule, are made up of men who take a natural interest in field sports, and who join an athletic club of their own accord. They dd things differently in the army, how. ever; nothing is left to the option of

An Antiauarian Lunch.

Amaziah Dukes, a New York broker, recently said: s'I have eaten apples that ripened more than 1,S00 years ago, bread made from wheat grown before the children of Israel passed through the Red sea, spread it with butter that was made when Elizabeth was queen of England, and washed down the repast with wine that was sold when Colum- bus was playing barefoot with the boys of Genoa. The remarkable spread was given by an antiquary named Goebel, i'll the city of Brussels, in 1871. The apples were from an earthen jar taken from the ruins of Pompeii, the buried city to whose people we owe our knowl- edge of canning fruit. The wheat was taken from a chamber in one of the pyramids, the butter from stone shelf in an old well in Scotland, where for centuries it had laid in an earthen crock in icy water, and the wine was re- covered from an old vault in the city of Cornith- There were six guests at the table, and each had mouthful of the bread and teaspoonful of wine, but was permitted to help himself literally to the butter, there being several pounds of it. The apple jar held about two-thirds of gallon, and the fruit was sweet and the flavor as fine as though put up yesterday. ."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

the individual. But unlike some mili- tary orders, irksome simply from the fact that they are orders, the command to form athletic teams has been hailed by the men with delight; and now, be- tween and after drill hours, the parade ground of post or fort is turned into m athletic ground, and men who other wise might be in the guardhouse for some trivial infraction of military dis cipline, may be seen in regulation track costume, running, vaulting, jumping, and indulging in almost every variety of athletic exercise.
 That the introduction of athletic training into the army is a good thing for the men, both physically and nor ally, is conceded by all. While the greater part of the United States army was busily engaged in chasing bands of hostile Indians all over the western portion of the country, the need of field athletics was not particularly felt, the men had exercise enough and to spare in endeayoring to keep within striking distance of their active foes. But when the savages were safely dis posed of on the different reservations and the monotony of garrison life be- gan, the once hardy soldiers lost their activity, and what, in their fighting days, was but short jaunt, became, through the enervating influence of gar rison life, hard days work.
 1t was while stationed in the west among these men that Gen. Miles, him. self an old Indian campaigner, began training for the soldier Other nations take pains to develop the physique of their soldiers as well as to drill them in tactics; why should not the United States do the same, he reasoned; and from that time until now Gen. Miles has been an enthusiast upon the sub ject of field athletics. To be sure the troops were often taken on practice marches across country, or allowed to play an occasional game of football with some civilian team or team from some neighboring army post; but there was no system, and the exercise was transitory in it's effect.
 Thus far the official introduction into the army of field sports is in its infancy, but the doubtful stage is passed, and army athletics are with the soldiers to stay.
 A report has just been made to the war department by Col Shafter, at present commanding the department of California, of series of competitive athletic games held by the soldiers of the department, in which hand ball, tug-of-war. standing high jump, run- ming, putting the hammer and shot, hurdle races. and baseball were the principal games indulged in; and some very good records were made.

to disfigure q woman, and it is found that the lower a corset is, the more per- feet the wearer's shape. All that is necessary is that the corset be high enough to support the bust.
 Yet not alone for it's hygienie lines is the new corset to be admired; it's ma teriaIs and trimmings are equally at- tractive.
 Plain materials no longer enter into it's composition. As the corset is so narrow, broad Persian ribbons are avail able for covering, edged top and bot tom with dainty laces l5notted with baby ribbons. More delicate silks white shading to shell pink, changes ble blue and green, green and white, any of the softly-tinted silk-are used for the inside.

A Philadelphia Chinaman Wanted to Dry
 Shirts on the City Hall Roof.
 Three Chinamen were in the big ele- yator which carried the "Odd Bits' man to one of the upper offices in the city hall day or two ago.
 What Aoor?' queried the elevator man.
 Knowledge of the English language was evidently a scarce article with the Mongoliuns, for they looked at each other and at the elevator man. Then they chattered among themselves for a moment.
 sNo fool" one of them finally said. "Loof." {
 They were carried up as far as the elevator went and then directed to the stairway, which leads out upon the roof of the hail. The Odd Bits" man followed them.
 The ChinaInen wandered over the top of the big building arm in arm, looking up and down and around, but never venturing very near the edge anywhere.
 ''No like fall," one of them explained. Every much hurt"
 The big tower held their attention most. They stood and gazed at it with wide open mouths for long time.
 Him yelly high," the talkative one of the three suggested to an attache of the building.
 "Yes," the latter responded with a wink to bystander, "4,ooo feet"
 The wonderful information was re- eeived without any comment by the Ghinamen and the joke was lost. If the attache had said 10000 it would have been all the same.
 When they lad satisfied their sight seeing inclination the Mongolians started for the stairway.

 '' The season for indoor trick and eX- t;bifion riding and horseback drills and azol,,tions begins, in all the northern cities, this week.
 T have just had 8 talk with John E.. cowdin. one of the judges of hunters ond ipmpers at the show, upon the new saotgres of the exhibition. The most s;anifcant thing in the arrangements IS ,be revival of the high jumping contest, zmbicb has been for several years omitted. but is now restored in direct Asnswer to strong demand from the &hov office.

it is for the purpose of drills and evo- lutions.
 These grow more complicated every year. The riders circle, they waltz, they wheel by twos and fours, they oblique in single fife and align by platoon, they go through the most intricate quadrille figures. Perhaps the highest degree of skill is shown in the tandem riding. where evolutions have been perfected until from four riders with eight horses the number has been raised to 12 riders with 24 horses. Tandem riding with 1s riders will probably be practiced this winter for the first time in New York. It was two years ago that tandem ride by 12 ladies was performed for the first time. The favorite arrangement is, of course, an exhibition by six lady riders and six gentlemen, the former all upon white horses, the latter upon bay. or vice versa.
 Riding clubs are mounted on we'll trained saddle horses, and such animals are quite sufficient for evolution riding.

to Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the greatest catfish market in the world In the districts inhabited largely by the poor vendors go about the streets with buckets on their heads selling the fish, and their cry is somewhat similar to the familiar coal which we hear so frequently in Washington in neighbor- hoods similarly populated. Catfish are cooked in a variety of ways, but made into a chowder is the most popular form in which they are served. Noth- ing is more palatable than a well-pre- pared catfish chowder, and a great many people prefer ehowder made from the heads alone. You will notice that these two colored men who are cleaning the fish preserve number of the largest heads. They have regular customers for the heads, which they will string in punches and sell for probably as much as the same number of fish would bring.
 ''Yes," continued MT. Cogswell, "those two fellows are very expert at slzinning catfish. The best points in the vicinity of Washington for catching catfish are at Colonial beach and Matthias point The fall season in the fishing business is now open. The varieties that will be handled are rock fish and white perch, both of which are very large and very plentiful this year. Any surplus that we have above the home demand in these varieties is shipped in ice to New Yory and Philadelphia, but catfish are only shipped to the latter city. Wash ington Star.
