THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
Unusual Advantages offered to Those
willing to Serve Uncle Sam.

Unusual Advantages offered to Those
willing to Serve Uncle Sam.
The United States army is by law lin
tied to rs, 900 men, exclusive of officers.
At the date of the last roster the mum
Der of soldiers in the United States
army was 27, SoO-2,10O officers and 25,-
700 enlisted men. About one-half the
army, exclusive of the engineers, sig
nal service, Indian scouts, hospital serv-
ice and West Point cadets, is composed
of the infantry, 25 regiments in all.
There are besides ten cavalry and five
artillery regiments. The pay of Uncle
Sans soldiers is poor (private soldiers
get $13 a month";, their work is hard,
consisting not only of drills, sentry
duty, marches and maneuvers, but also
while in camp of manual labor to 81
large extent; and the posts to which
they are sent are either on the extreme
western frontier line or at isolated
places in the east. Service in the
United States army in the CAMPS near
est the Indians is attended with seri-
Gus bodily danger. In consequence OF
he hardness and monotony of the Amer
lean soldiers life, the small rations and
the poor pay, assertions are frequent
and the depleted ranks of Uncle Sans
small army have, from time to time.
to be filled by new enlistments, and it
is to secure these that the recruiting
offices are maintained.
Special inducements have to be Of
fered to the intending soldiers. In
front of every recruiting Office is @ pic
ture representing the future soldier in
uniform, while ovcr the door of the
Office the American flag floats continu-
ously in the breeze. Among the induce
ments held out by the United States
government to volunteers for the regu-
lar army are free hospital service while
sick, public burial in the event of death
during the time of enlistment, the main
tenance of a soldiers savings bank pay
ing four per cent. interest, free use of
the books and newspapers of the camps
or forts, free transportation from the
place of service to the point of enlist
ment at the conclusion of the period of
service, which is five years, and a pen
sion t any soldier who serves consecu-
lively for rs years or is in
battle in support of the government
Notwithstanding these alluring offers
continuously held out by the val de-
partment to a~ble-bodied male citizens
between h ages of 81 and 80, enlist
ments are few in number, and the fact
is not to be disguised by any false spirit
of patriotism that many of the soldiers
who enlist do so under what may be
called a misunderstanding, joining the
United States army in time of difficulty
or danger, real or fancied, and leaving
the service a~fterward, in a good many
cases, by desertion. An enlisted soldier
can buy his own discharge from the
army for S11O.=N. Y. Sun.

Some Celebrated People Who Now Esche,

Some Celebrated People Who Now Eschew
An Animal Food.
THE future is with the vegetarians,n
said Prof. Virchow, Germany's great
est medical scientist, some time since,
when interviewed upon the subject,
What will people eat in the near fu-
ture?" 10 is interesting to know how
many of the distinguished people be-
long to the class of non-meat eaters.
Vegetarianism IS well represented
among people who WELD the pen.
Count Leo Tolstoi, the strange man
who amid the dreary wilds of Russia
produces books read the world over,
declares that o years flesh has not
polluted his lips. Ouida, the novelist,
finds a fruit diet essential to successful
fiction writing, and the broad-minded
reasoning of Mrs. Mona Card flourish
es on the same sustenance, as does the
scholarship of Prof. Mayor, who
amazes Cambridge by showing how
much learning can subsist upon lunch
es of no more substantial food than a
piece of bread and an apple. The pro-
fessor Is an enthusiastic vegetarian
and declares that higher thinking has
no greater enemy than flesh feeding.
That vegetarianism is, indeed, not
inimical to acute thinking Edison, the
inventor, is an example. The TODD

the great worker immures himself for
days and weeks at a time almost sug-
Gests by its scarcity and simplicity
that the inventor has discovered some
mode of obtaining nutrition from the
atmosphere. Fruit, bread and milk he
declares to be the material upon which
he thinks best.
Sir James-afterward Lord Han
men attributed the retention of his eX-
traordinary powers of work in spite of
age and study, which might have ru-
med the constitution "of three men,"
as a brother judge put it, to his never

Passing of the POpulists.

ssWhile the populists still meet and
will nominate local tickets, and in a
few states even electors, it is neverthe-
less very evident that the party as a
factor in politics has fallen back into
the ranks of the ''has-beens'' with the
prohIbitionists, and that it is no longer
dangerous to either of the great
parties" says the st. Joseph Gazette.
~"Populism is disappearing because
il has no vital force to keep it alive.
Reforms must be worked ou through
one of the great parties or their success
sors, and the victories of the republi-
cans in 1894 and 1895 were a severer
blow to populism than they were to
the democracy. This year the great
fee of the populists is going to be the
silver movement, which possesses the
statesmen whom popu:ists have always
lacked and which will absorb its re-
naming vitality. The speech of Sena-
tor TIllman in Denver shows that the
so-called southern populists are silver
men and will vote that ticket, and that
a strong silver nomination will COM
mand the pOpulIst strength all through
the south, as it will in the west.
"Many of those, too, who had beer
in the party ranks recruited from The
old parties will undoubtedly return to
their allegiance, and that will have q
tendency to still further weaken the
ranks of the populists. The future OF
the populist party, therefore, seems tc
be simply to grow weaker and weaker,
until it completely disappears, although
some of its component elements will
ever be starting new alleged reform
movements and claiming that they and
they only are the people.
