As to West Point Cadets.

Army officers are disposed to dispute
the findings of the board of visitors to
the military academy for the present
year. The board report diScOurages
the idea of increasing the number of
cadets at West Point, and recommends
that greater care be taken in the Sc
lection of cadets. This opinion comes
in conflict with that expressed by Capt.
James Parker, Unite S ates army, as
the captain considers the academy
something more important that mere
machine to supply the army with just
enough officers 10 fill the vacancies as
they are made by death. retirement, or
other causes. Army officers who have
read the report of the board of visitors
express the opinion that Capt Parker
is about right His idea is, briefly,
that the military acad my, which be-
gan with the idea of educating one
cadet for every so 600 of the popula-
ton, does not now serve its intended
purpose by educating as soldiers only
one out of every 25O,O inhabitants.
1t is but natural that the army should
accept the suggestion made by Capt.
Parker, that the academy should grad
ua'e enough cadets to keep the cOun-
try supplied with men prepared if not
actually provided with commissions, to
re-enter the service at moments
warning. Instead of reducing the num-
Der of cadets, Capt. Parker would in
crease it. He would have three mill
tary academies-one in u west and
another in the south, in addition to
that at West Point-all conducted on
the same plan, with 1900 cadets at all
times.

The leagues Case,

The League of An erican Wheelmer
has carried bicycle case into court
and won it. The man was New
Yorker. He rode up to curbing il
front of store, dismounted and left
his bicycle resting against the stone
a wagon driver appeared and d. spite
the fact that the street was sixty feet
broad and there was ample room at the
time to swi ing clear of the two wheeler.
drove purposely over it. The heavier
vehicle knocked the bicycle down, roll
ed over it and passed on. When the
wheelman came out the pride of his
heart looked like a rosebud crushed for
twenty years in dictionary. The
wheelman turned the case over to the
L A. w. and the officials promptly
carried it before the courts. The
teamster lost and was compelled to pay
the cyclst S52 so and few costs. The
Judge who pres ded held that wheel
man had a perfect right to leave his
wheel at the curb.
Another test case has lately shown
that a motorman is not entitled TO run
down wheelman who is riding lust
ahead on the same track and going the
same direction.

Sight and Insight.

Rev. w. O. Millican preached yes
terday morning in the Baptist cburc
| from the text, mine eyes have Sc. q
thy salvatiion.'' Luke II:3O The
-pes k er de- cribed the historical settir g
of the text, and called special az emit on
to the fact that the experience of ST.
neon who uttered these words on see
ing the infant Jesus, illustrated the
truth that here was both sight and
insight The original economical of
he Jews required that the first male
born in eacn family should be con-
secrated to the service of the Most
High. But after the Aarnic priest
hood was instituted it Was ordained
that the first born might be redeemed
from actual temple service by the pay
ment of nominal offering at the temple.
The mother of our Lord looked for
ward to this day of offering al the tenn
Pile with aux ETY. when the child should
be consecrated to God. Mr.. Millican
then described the conservation SER
vices "a beautiful, and which largely
obtain among the Jews this day.
The S CHIT of the infant Jesus was a
blessing TO old Simon. Sight is al
WAYS blessed thing: eyes that can see
and take in the manifold beauties and
attractions of nature. But greater
than ordinary human sight was that
insight of S'meon's which at once pick
ed out the Lords coming salvation.
We have eyes, spiritual eyes that look
at som, thing more than the superficial
in life. God has given US physical
eyes to see the things of this world,
and other eyes which see beneath the
surface things hidden from Others 1t
is the eyes of the soul taking in the
things spiritual, the power to see
Christ hen Others fail to see him.
There were many people and many
other children in the court of the wo-
men at that time, but it was only
Slime on who hal eyes capable of look
ing furtf err, and could single out the
Savior of mankind, then an infant in
arms. Thus can We as Christian
people look beyond the things of this
world, and view the things of spiritual
life.

| father winkipg his left eye, polite
that do not agree with the emperor
But the preachers can preacl
such politics as suit his mai ST,
all they like. MIR. Hoffman fount
that the emperor was not beloved b,
| his people.
The absence of local newspaper en-
terprise was noticeable, and the result
| is that the general pubic are not in-
| formed. A Mexican consul who is &
German, told the t ave,e that McKin
ley had RESI- gned. A German manufact
urer declared himself against the
United States because the American
people would not longer buy socks OF
Germany on account of the tariff
They don't care for America over in
Germany except so far as they can
make money out of US The authorities
are coupseling emigration rather to
Mexico and the colonies rather than
to the United States The tariff seems
TO be great source of trouble over
there.
Mr. Hoffman preached in Dresden as
well as other places. and found that
while the present belongs to the state
church system, the future belongs to
the evangelical faith, more particul ar
" the Methodists and Baptists. Unless
preacher belongs to the state church,
he has to announce to the authorities
all OF his meeti"gs. and the place of
preaching must be investigated by the
police and practically the meetings
must be held under police supervision.
If the police are not duly informed the
preachers are arrested and fined. In
Berlin it is said the emperor is build
ing churches where his grandfather
built prisons. But Mr.. HOffn an had
his doubts about the efficacy of this
move as at present conducted, at all
events. However. there are tokens of
the advent of more thoroughly reli-
giOus life. One Indication of this is
the union of the English spec king and
German MethOdists in Germany.
AT union conference recently held,
this great move was perfected, and the
results will commensurate with the
action. Mr. Hoffman will speak fur
Their later on about his German trip
which has so greatly interested him.
He kept his eyes open all the time and
posted himself on wide variety of
topics. His talk last night was very
interes ting.

Mammoth Grain Harvester.

Stockton, Cal, farmers are travelling
for miles to see at work the biggest
grain ha- vester in the world on Roberts
Island, in The San Joaquin river. The
machine turns out three siXty-pound
sacks of wheat every minute. The
m achine has cutting line of tifty-two
feet, ard it also threshes and sacks the
grain. In one run around a 400-acre
field it will turn out hundreds of sacks
of wheat ready for market The cost
of harvesting has been reduced to a
minimum by this machine, and the
number Of days consumed in getting a
large field ready for market will be
about half that of the regular harves-
ter. Eight or ten men handle it easily
while it is turning out from loo to
l, SEQ sacks a day of ten hours and
sweeping 100 acres of grain clear.
