CLOTHING FOR AN ARMY.
bf1fa1n's Soldiers Cost Six Millions
Year for Raiment,
New York Journal


New York journal.
1t costs the British government &c o5a aeT
annually for the clothing furnished its army
all over the world. Each of the foreign nos
sessions, however, has to pay back, to a GER
tain extent the amount which the uniforms
OF the troops stationed or sent there has cost
keeping 'o'h
. India. for instance. pays for the clothing
OF It's own troops and also for the uniforms
OF the men which England sends there The
latter Item is about $675, 900 annually On the
other hand, Wnen regiment comes home
from india that country has to be paid back
the full value of the clothes they wear.
The government sells old and worn out
articles to the secondhand dealers who by
the way, usually accumulate fortunes in a
short TIME. The value of CASTOR clothes Sc
disposed of Is about $140 600 yearly. The
scraps remaining after the uniforms have
been cut out also bring a matter of $50 900
annually. In all, the authorities receive back
about 81 800 600, thus reducing the total cost
OF clothing Of the army to less than S., 600, e00
a year.
The best quality Of everything is used in
the manufacture of uniforms In face, it is
said they are too good for durable wear. A
huge factory In Pimico, London, makes a
large share of the furnishings but vast guam
titles of foot and head gear are bought ready
made Boots and leggings, for example, cost
81 900 and head dresses $3.50, 900.
The thousands Of miles of flannel, linen,
calico cloth, velvet, ETC., the millions Of but
of sewing cotton that are made into smart
tunics, tidy trousers and warm shirts, cost
81, 425, 600. The wages paid for making these
up are over $4,000 a week. Some of the sal
aries paid in this branch excellent for
England The inspector of clothing receives
S. 900 and his assistants S. $50 apiece, and SO
on down the long list.
But all this vast expense is probably much
less than the annual outlay that France and
Germany make for keeping their soldiers
smart in appearance in times of peace. In
Germany, for example, every in the
army is said to have four complete suits OF
military clothing.

TELL THEIR WIVES.
DO Some Physicians with Regard
to Professional Condolences

Apropos of the case of the disting-
uished physician, DR. Playfair, who has
to pay $4,000 for a breach of profess
ional confidence through the mention
of certain secrets to his wife, the
Springfield Republican says:
yet we know of q doctor in the
United States Of America who said
in confidence not long ago that his
wife probably knew the secrets of most
of his interesting cases; that he had
the most implicit confidence in her
ability to keep a secret; that he very
naturally told her these things because
she was a real wife to him; and thus
far he has never known OF her be-
traying the professional condolences
the good woman had already shared.
When physician has wife whom
she thoroughly trusts, as we'll as he
loves, the chances are that she knows
a great deal more than her neighbors
about the family practice 1t is no
more than natural that she should,
especially If she had married the doc
tor when he was young and struggI-
ing, and when a new case was no
more to be concealed from the physi-
cans wife than was raise in salary,
the acceptance of a poem, or sue
cessful horse trade from young and
loving helpmeets in other walks of
life. On the other hand, we are GER
tain that many doctors tell their wives
substantially nothing about their
practice, acting just as they would
IN any other profession or business,
and being governed entirely by their
own temperaments.
Some business men come home bank
rupt after years Of luxurious living
and leave their unsuspecting wives to
read the news of the crash in the
morning paper; and such men, if ply
slclanS, would, of course, have no trou-
Die In keeping their professional Sc
cfets from the wives of their bosoms.
Other physicians, again, may at first

rows, but finally abandon the habit for

are not lmpervious to the delights of
widening on their own initiative the
small and supposedly select circle Of
your condolences. There Is even an
other class of physicians who. astound-
ing as 1t may seem, run about telling
other mems wives. Often they are prac-
tltloners in good standing, skillful. no
DOUBT, OF everything but the use Of
their tongues. We cannot brand these
amazing creatures with hot enough
IRONS we can only ask, if it costs a

sKIILFUL INCORPORATING.
Artistic WOrkmanship of "a jap
anese Artisan.


New York Times.
A rare piece Of Japanese wood cary
ing is attracting unusual attention at
the Union Square hotel where it is
on exhibition, and artists who have
viewed 1T say that it is marvel of
skill and masterpiece of art, though
1t can hardly be classed as a specimen
OF legitimate art, as the term is gen
orally understood
1t is life-size figure representing
Tsaka, the coolie who saved the life
OF the present Russian cZar when the
latter, visiting Otsu, Japan, in 1892,
was attacked by a would-be assassin.
The jinrikisha or Japanese carriage
IN which the car rode at the time is
part of the exhibit, Tsaka, who was
the Jlnrikisha man, being represented
dragging it.
For his bravery on that occasion
Tsaka was awarded an annuity of
10000 yen by the car
The figure is the work of Kuruna,
known as the best artist in the East,
and employed exclusively by the Jap
anese emperor. 1t was the product of
two aud half years work, and was
intended for the worlds fair in Chi
cago, but was not completed in time.
1t is worked out of single piece of
wood from the Indian oak, or teak
Woou, the inquire is pOSeQ as in a rum
ming position, resting on one foot
With the extreme pains characteristic
of the japanese, the figure has been
made as nearly perfect model of the
Jinrikisha man as though taken from a
plaster cast; every vein and every mus
Gle shows as it would be in the strain
OF dragging the carriage.
The wood is stained to the complexion
OF the Jap, and the back is tattooed
as on the original, with the god Of his
particular society and various gro
tesque embellishments. The lips. slight
ly parted, expose a row of pearly teeth
The eyes are more natural than one
f1nds in the best of wax figures, and
the hair-for it has real hair. thus
outraging pure arts stuck into the
scalp, each hair close to the others
as are human hairs, in perforation
small as the hair itself.
The most trivial detail of the orig
1nal is accurately reproduced. and.
viewed from short distance, might be
miStakened for a live jinrikisha man.
The only costume is that Of the origt-
nal-a girdle of silk.
Dr. Stempel, manager of the Union
Square hotel, lived for years in japan
and China, and it was through his ac-
qualntance with a gentleman who had
purchased the piece that the proprie-
TORS OF the hotel, Neumuller & Schaefer,
secured it.
1t was valued at $4,000 yen, or $12, 500

cafe. The jinrikisha is also a fine

ADVENTURE WITH A MOOSE.
Boy Throws "A Stone at One, Mistak-

Jack Clark is stout boy of fourteen
years, living at Sherman, Me- He goes out
after the cows every night and drives them
home to the tfe-up. always in the greatest
safety, but the other night he had an advent
ure which has led to the substitution of his
elder brother in the gathering of the kline o.

Last Saturday night Jack went down after
the cattle. Tie animals were in the pasture
and it was dark almost before he got to them
He started home with some speed. but one
Jagged in the shadows under the trees
Jack threw a stone at the supposed cow
and got very large surprise in return for If.
He heard the stone strike the animal with
a hollow thump on its ribs and expected to
see the COW come out from under the trees
on a swinging run. Instead a big moose
bounded out in the opening and made for
the youngster.
Jack sized up the animal at first sight
Boys and girls, when they get big enough To
walk the streets Of Sherman in boots and
stockings, know wild animals when they see
them. So Jack knew the moose He made for
the nearest tree and scooted up it with small
delay.
The moose vas close at the bows heels
when he climbed into the lower branches
and snorted around the foot of the trunk in
way that made the boy SILVER and grab
the limbs closer. After about an hour the
big brute went off in rod-long Jumps, LACK
came down, ran for home and told the story.

Some OF the most beautiful and

includes those whose personal history

In South America the poems that have
