Old Military stpp,dx.

What made you leave the army at so early an age, with such a fair record be- hind you, and so promising career in front of you?' once asked an officer, whose chief defect was a proneness to act on hot-headed impulse. The pur- port of the reply was: At my last in spection l was questioned by the gen eral concerning the prices of the sol diers' socks and shirts. I gave him tc understand that neither knew nor cared, and of course was pretty sharp ly reprimanded. became so disgusted with this and similar absurdities of regimental pedantry that l sent in my papers," The weary waste of time, the circumlocutionary twaddle of the old military correspondence, was subject for burlesque. Once, as president of a board to report on an accident to a horse, simply stated that "the leg was broken" and received rather sharp reprimand for embodying an opinion in such trivial language. Thereupon I amended the defect by suggesting that ''the tibia was fractured" and was com plimented for the satisfactory lucidity of my report. Tradition declares that in India similar board recorded an opinion that "the elephant is dead and smells bad" The general in towering passion sent back the proceedings for revision, whereupon the board amended it's report: "The elephant is still dead and smells worse" Blackwood's Mag azine.

The Street Cars in Mexico.

Street cars in Mexico are drawn by mules. and the driver keeps up q continual conversation with them. In the cars is sign that urges the pas sengers not to detain the cars by pro- longed salutations. For it seems that Mexicans have the habit of saying good-by ut the last minute, as we ire quently see people here, holding the car and detaiuing the passengers. In Mexico the men kiss each other when they part. and the good-by is that much prolonged. You can hire car in Mexico to stop at any place for any length of tune by paying S3.50 day for its use. The car is taken from the track and the policemen help put it back when you get ready to pro- ceed on your journey. The conductor, for small fee, will sell to the passen. gers tickets for bath or the Dttery, or he will buy cigars for the passengers.
 The people in Mexico are never in a hurry, and the cars drawn by the little mules are entirely satisfactory to the people.

strong recommendation for the new conner is the fact that it enables the or dinary chair seat to be substituted for the saddle.
 What will interest physicians and the general public other than racers is the position of the rider, who sits upright, with shoulders back and head up. This does away with one of the most Objec- tionable features of the ordinary wheel, the curved back and its host of unwholesome and injurious conditions. The shoulders, hands and pedal are in a direct line, and the muscles work exactly. as in a health lift, while the leg and foot press down upon the pedal; the shoulders are thrown back, the body is erect, and the hands, pulling upward on the handle bar, double the power that can be applied to the pedals. The advantage of this increased power for hill climbing should be very great. The new wheel is looked upon as mak. ing great bid for the favor of women riders.

The New Bicycle.

The impression which had gained ground in cycling circles that there would be no novelties in wheels this year proves to be erroneous. The most original exhibit at the bicycle show now being held in New York is a wheel which shows a departure from the prevailing form of bicycle almost as revolutionary as was the Rudge safety, which superseded the high wheel some ten years ago. The first striking point in the construction of this wheel is that triangular frame is substituted for the old familiar diamond. The rider sits perfectly upright and the handle bar is reversed. The wheel is steered by turning the front wheel as in the ordinary safety, but the handle bar passes behind the rider, and little lower than the seat, so that he grasps the handles by dropping his arms at his sides. This form of construction gives much stronger frame and less weight. ....
 The seat is placed on the apex of the triangle, and it is claimed that owing to the stiffness of the frame the rider receives less of the jars on uneven roads than would be felt on the ordi- nary wheel. Another claim is that the wheel can be driven harder and faster than any other. When the handle bars are in front it is necessary to have projection between the legs of the rider to hold him in his seat. but as in the new form of machine the handle, bars are at the side, the rider pulls up in- stead of bearing his weight on his handle bars, and so is held fast in the seat.

The Federal Government has begun a prosecution in the courts against the Big Four beef combine in Chicago, and is working on the lines suggested for years by the agricultural press. In substance, tue big packers are accused of having formed an agreement not to buy stock except at fixed price and not to bid against each other. After the small packers and the buyers of fancy stock for the East and export have made their purchases, it is alleged, the big ones offer to buy at low figure and appear indifferent as to closing sales. When the stock is offered to another packer, it is said, he will not bid higher price, and the cattle owner or the commission man has no alterna- tive except to sell to stop feeding ex- penses. es.-Southwestern Stockman.

The American Flag.

The first American flag was made by widow named Mrs. Betsy Ross, living Tn Philadelphia. Her husband was killed while guarding some military stores manufactured by his brother for the defense of the coloDies. Mrs. Ross continued the business of upholstering in the house in which they lived on Arch street. General Washington came on to confer with Congress on important matters in May, 1776 Gen eral Washington met committee in the house on Arch street, and gave Mrs. Ross an order to make simple flag with thirteen stars on it. She made the flag, but her Tory and Quaker friends did not approve of her actions in the matter and called her rebel, and asked her if she did not fear death for engaging in such services. The flag was adopted as the national flag, and displaced the "Grand Union" flag, which was displayed but once. The "Grano Union" flag was the British Union with thirteen stripes.

The Texas Live Stock Journal gives the following very good thought: A thoughtless or narrow minded reader is apt to disparage the paper that gives prominence to any topic or industry in which he is not specially interested. He forgets the fact that he is not the only patron of the paper and that the article which interests him least may be just what reader in another section of the country and pursuing different syocation, is looking for, and live journal caters to the wants of all. It is part ofhuman nature, though, to look npon a mans own circnmscribed sur roundings as the world, and the more limited his opportunities for the acquisition of knowledge are, the stronger does this view of things gen. erally become.

The green tea cigarette has arrived and promises to cause greater ravages than it's predecessor, the slender roll of alleged tobacco, which DOW poisons the air almost everywhere in Asia, Europe and America. The person who first discovered that green tea would smoke is responsible for millions of disordered nerves, stomachs and heads, but is probably too far gone in adora- tion of the enervating habit to feel any remorse. Already the new fad has taken possession of England; it will soon storm the walls of Paris, and before We can fortiiy against It here We will be besieged. It will penetrate the boudoir of the ladies, and even the strait-laced, orthodox public will see no harm in an innocent tea cigarette. But none the less deadly peril turks within it.

Again, insomnia, or sleeplessness, often result of the same carse, cul- inmates in Arrangement of tSe req soning faculties. It is, therefore, of momentous consequence to prevent the arrival of disease at its chronic phase, when it. daily and nightly scourges the sufferer to dangerously uncertain goal.

NOTES ON PARIS GREEN.
Two Hundred Tons Employed in thu
 United States Annually.


 Paris green is the most useful and valuable of the arsenicals used as in secticides. As is well known, it's action is more rapid and effective than that of London purple, and having a definite chemical composition it ought to he subject to variation in the amount Of the active agent, arsenic. Its use as an insecticide has enormously extended of late years, and upward of 2.c00 tons are annually employed in the United States. besides 400 tons in Canada. The chief difficulty in using Paris green is the readiness with which it settles to the bottom of the tank or reservoir of the spraying apparatus. This is De- cause it is rather coarse powder, very much less finely divided than London purple, which latter fact gives the purple a certain advantage.
 A recent conversation with one of tie leading manufacturers of Paris greco has brought ont the fact that thls coarseness of grain and the accompany ing difficulty in using Paris green in water suspension is quite unnecessary. It seems that the market has hitherto } demanded a very dark colored article. the lighter color having been deemed to indicate adulteration. It seems, how ever, that the darker color is simply due to the larger size of the crystals. If the green were reduced toa impalpablc powder, which would make it much more satisfactory as ah insecticide. il would lose the intensity of its color ard become whitish. This manufacturer tell. me that for number of years he was. able practically to control the market because he had discovered a means of crystallizing the green in unusually large particles, securing very dark-colored product, although hr was aware that for the use ip- tended the product so obtaine,i was much less valuable. Yet be darker green, with it's accompany . ing larger sized crystals, is more diiii. cult to manufacture and hence cx. pensive.
 Itseems, therefore, tha all these years we have been using poison which could have been had at less ex- pense and in much more satisfactory form.-Insect Life.

or not the Wilson'S crew had been saved.
Captain Lewis, of the Nottingham,
told the story of the collision to an AS
sociated Press Representative this morn
ing. He said the schooner wSs at anchor
in the channel Her anchor lights were
noticed aboard the tug and she was given
what was considered ample leeway. The
tug aud the leader OF the tow cleared her,
but the seco I'D boat. Barge No. z, failed
to do so and the schooner received a
heavy blow on her port bow. smashing ii
into splinters and within two minutes
went TO the bottom. In this brief time
the crew OF the Wilson, five in number,
had launched a boat, from which they
we're picked up soon afterward. Captain
Creighton climbed to the rigging OF the
schooner and reached the deck OF the
barges in thar way.
The Wilson's sailors, on the other hand,
are unanimous in saying that the schooner
was not lying in the channel, but on the
outside. and that the Nottingham was
out of her course.
The names OF the captain and crew are: :
VIM. Creighton, captain; Theodore A.
Tobiason, first mate; Phillip Myers, stew
ard; crew, Herman Hansen, Brooklyn;
George II. Jones, salem; Peter Charley,
Vige, Norway.
The accident occurred at s o'clock. Cap
tain Hansen, who was st the wheel of
barge No. Z, asserts that he did his ut
most TO clear the vessel, but the tide,
which was running with great force,
swept the barge against the schooner.
Capt. Creighton maintains that the colli-
sion was the fault of the barge and that
he shall hold the owners responsible for
the loss of his ship and cargo and the
clothing of the crew.
Captain Creighton has been particularly
unfortunate, having lost the schooner
Nellie Clark at Grand Manan, only a
few weeks ago. This was bis first trip as
the master OF the William Wilson, he
having joined the vessel in New York
just previous to her sailing.
