The HlgheStH OnOrS!
The Opera House a Scene of
%Splendor, Thursday Eve.,

No n can be truly happy who
has no sympathy with or who does
no service for mankind, and he is
most truly adding to his own happi-
ness who, forgetting self, seeks to
help others. Teaching as a profess
sion, instead of being regarded in the
mind of the teacher as a means of
livelihood, is regarded as a privilege.
For to have SO great a part in form
ing the characters and guiding the
minds of our future men and women
in the right channel is a noble work.
To the parents the teaching of their
children is a sacred trust not to be
neglected or given to any one else.
In regard to service to mankind,
the sphere of woman is not small, as
many regard it; for the one who pre-
pares the food in a great measure
shapes the lives of men,. 1t is doubt
less true that poorly prepared food
is the cause of many foolish and UNI
worthy acts and even Of crimes, and
one who has been served with poorly
. .-. IL"
prepared food, or at a table which
was not placed in a neat and orderly
manner,will remember his belligerent
feelings, even though he may not
have attributed them to this cause.
During the whole history of man
kind men have been endeavoring to
find out some means to mitigate the
evils and increase the happiness of
mankind. Among these men was
DR.. Kelley, who sought some cure
for the most common and deadly
disease of u day, drunkenness.
The result of his efforts we see in the
Kelley cure, which has proven a cure
for the disease, although, like other
diseases, it may be contracted again
under the conditions which first pro-
duced it. Another discovery which
has proven to be Of value is the y
rays recently discovered by a French
electrician. The rays are of great
service in surgery, and in recent in
vestigations have been shown to- be
successful destroying bacteria.
A few years ago, excepting by the
physicians, little was known about
the human body. But the people
have awakened to the fact that with
out a healthy body it is impossible to
have a healthy mind; and that the
best way of preventing disease is to
understand the use of the organs and
the name of preserving them.
Therefore, physiology and hygiene
are now taught in our schools, and
the good effects are already seen in
the better ventilated homes and pub
lie buildings, better prepared food
and clothing, and especially in the
decrease of disease in our large cities.
One can best serve mankind by hav-
ing a strong, healthy mind and body
to work for them.
Our authors have lahored long in
the fields of service. Many have en-
dured great hardships in their zeal
that they might make known their
observarces and beautiful thoughts to
others. With the exception OF the
Bible, Shakespeare's plays have done
more to educate and teach man his
duty than any other production. In
a vivid manner he has depicted lite
in all its phrases, high and low
master and slave; and though there
may be in his works that which is
now considered low, it was not con-
s;dered so when it was written, and if
the plays are read for the good there
is in them, they will teach many

Among the naturalists are Tyndall,
Spenser, Huxley, and Darwin, who
by spending their whole lives in in
vestigating animal life from the low
est stages to complexity have com
pletely revolutionized the previous
hypothesis of life.
Is this not effort ?
Through effort men succeed /;
through effort nations'become great;
without effort nothing can be accom-
plished. In the progression of
nations, which is the contending for
new territory of progress, steps are
only taken by effort, therefore we

gressive step and attain some great

A VALUABLE GOOSE.
Bought For $3.50 and Contained "A $50
Diamond.

Mrs. Robert ROsenthal Ct 2l2 East
Thirty.sccund street, New York, bought
Il goose some days ago from her family
butcher and paid ii 80 for it. Both
Mrs. P0senthal and the butcher cOnsId-
cred the price a fair one.
But when Mrs. Roscnthal GOT home
and began to pluck the feathers and oE-
anime the goose in detail she found that
it was uIu%t as valuable as the good
old bird IN the fairy tale that had 4
pleasant habit Of laying golden eggs.
For, while preparing the bird for the
oven, she felt IA hard >ub,tanc" i'll the in
terror which, upon examination, ap-
peared to her TO he very much like a
diamond with a small fragment Of gold
attached to 1t, as though it had been set
III a ring.
A knowing friend to whom Mrs. Ro-
senthal took the tone next day told her
that the gem WAS u diamond Of very
high quality, worth probably $50.
Mrs. Rosenthal has been buying geese
ever since, and she always takes charge
Of the preparation and cooking herself.
The butcher has raised his prices.

which VIII be awarded TO the syndicate. there

In arriving at this conclusions the officials

bore no signatures and others did not contain
the amount intented 70 be bid for. while ssiil
others omitted the rate. These last, however.
arc not supposed to aggregate any considerable

QMY ann NAVY

Mr. Barrett's resolution for the appoi tment
OF a commission to report upon the ACCESSIBILITY
of removing the Naval Academy has aroused
the keenest interest among Naval officers, who
naturally have a sentimental regard for An
napolis and while some think there may be
other localities better adapted for the school,
by far the greater majority are opposed to its
transfer. There is no doubt a number OF the
leading officers on duty ut the Navy Department
who not friendly to retaining the Academy
at Annapolis. and many OF them assert that
the town is too sleepy, and lacking III those
elements which should surround big institu-
ton of learning" For this reason they claim
that Newport, or some point on Long Island
Sound, would afford more suitable place for
the Governments Naval School.
In response to "A resolution of inquiry, the
Secretary OF War sent to the Senate a state
ment of the amount of money which could be
adyantageously expended in coast defenscs.
He says that SOS. 67S, $50 could be so used by
the Department prior 10 July j, 1897, of which
amount 81 I'D 600 should be made available
during the present fiscal year OF the total
amount he recommends that S15,S07 GOO be
designated for Notifications 81 ,0000G0 for
sites 81 500 600 for submarine defcnses, 81, 3l6,-
500 for guns, mortars, prcjecties. etc. The
special advantages of the increased appro-
priation as enumerated by the Secretary are:
The utilization of the Army gun factory TO its
full capacity; the more rapid armament of our
Notifications; the addition Of - mortars aud
carriages 10 those already estimated for: the
purchase of an additional 500 deck piercing
shells, aud the supply of heavy material for
siege service.
The good effects of Secretary Lamonts new
recruiting system are shown by the statement
that a. officers and about 900 enlisted men
formerly recruiting duty have been restored
TO active service with their regiments. For
merly the recruits used 10 pass three months.
on the average, ut the recruiting station, and
now the average is Is days, the recruits being
taught in the regiments to which they arc as
signed. saving too, is made in transporta
ton by sending them to the regiments without
guard. Where at one time 763 recruits were
held at depots now 139 are found and where
496 enlisted men were required then the num-
Der is now only los. These and other points
appear in recent statement TO the War De.
partment, and it is estimated that by the
change in system the sum of about $780, 600 a
year is saved.
