Merit Wins.

The invention Of Ala bastine marked a
hew era in wall coatings, and from the
standpoint Of the building owner was a
most important discovery. 1t has from a
small beginning branched out into every
country of the civilized world. The name
skalsomine" las become so offensive to
property owners that manufacturer Of
cheap kalsomine preparations are now call
Ing them by some other name, IN at
tempting to sell on The Alabastine com
pany's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and per-
sonal use, the merits Of the durable Ala
bastine are SO thoroughly known that the
people insist on getting these goods and
will take no chance of spelling their walls
for a possible saving of at the most but a
few cents. Thus it is again demonstrated
that merit wins. and that manufacturers
of first-class articles Will be supported by
the people.

A Fish out OF Water.

The traditional notion of a fish
out of water is that Of a helpless,
gasplng creature. There are some
fish, however, that deliberately
choose to diversity their existence
by seeking land aud air. The perch
often leaps into the air for flies and
car be carried long distances in
damp grass without suffering harm.
One Of this species which is common
in India often leaves his pool and
takes a short journey over the grass.
He seems to prefer to take these ex-
cursions by night or in the early
morning, when he can be refreshed
by the dew, but sometimes, no doubt
led by urgent necessity, has been
known to travel some little distance
over a hot, dusty road, under the
midday sun.

sisters in a way which only some chill

consequence of the death of Mrs. Hall

All officers agree that while on pro-
tracted leave it is a good plan to dress
as other men, but many protest against
the a~bsurdity Of going in the govern
ment launch or ambulance to a dance
at another post, or even on civilian
invitation, and being, as it were,
ashamed to wear the colors of the gov
eminent they serve.
But 1t makes us conspicuous" is the
plea of the opposing party, Mortified at
the mere suggestion of appearing out
side of their respective forts in mill
tary attire. These men go to church
in civilian clothes, wear them while
visiting, or, if they have to run in to
town for even half an hour, lay aside
the blue" for such conventional garb
as 1t may have suited them to pur-
chase-a light suit and small black
derby, like as not. They quote the we'll
known aversion of many prominent
men to wearing uniform, and tell with
relish Gen. Grants adventure just at
ter his graduation from West Point.
1t will be remembered that Immediate
ly on receipt of his uniform the general
was very anxious to don it.
II was impatient to get on my uni
form and see how it looked" he says
in his Memoirs" "and probably
wanted my old schoolmates, particu-
larly the girls, to see me in it. The
conceit was knocked out of me by two
little circumstances that happened
soon after the arrival of the clothes,
which gave me a distaste for military
uniforms that | never recovered from.
Soon after the arrival of the suit, !
donned it and put off for Cincinnati
on horseback. While I was riding
along a street of that city, imagining
that every n was looking at me with
a feeling akin to mine when / first
saw Gen. Scott, a little urchin, bare
headed, b~arefooted, with dirty and rag
ged pants held up by a single gallows
that's what %suspenders were called
then-and a shirt that had not seen &
wash-tub for weeks, turned to me anc
cried: Soldier. will you work? No,
stree; I'll sell my shirt frst!'
"The other circumstance occurred al
home. Opposite our house, in Bethel,
stood the old stage tavern, where man
and beast found accommodation. The
stableman was rather dissipated, but
possessed of some humor. On my re-
turn, l found him parading the streets
and attending in the stable, barefooted
but in a pair of sky-blue nankeen pan
taloons-just the color Of my uniform
trousers-with a strip of white cottor
sheeting down the outside seams in i'm
itation of mine. The joke was a huge
one in the minds of many of the PEG
pie and was much enjoyed by them
but I did not appreciate it SO highly

reached at Fort
Adams, near Newport, says the New
York Herald. The question is the ap-
parently simple one: Shall we wear
our uniforms when away from the
tort?' But officers alone, perhaps, re-
allze the difficulties in the way of it's
solution. At present the efforts to
solve it are being made by those who
an affirmative decision. The
officers see before them the
allurlng vision of a Newport summer,
already heralded by the recent swag-
ger functions of the Newport reading
room, that very exclusive club.
they argue that socially an army Of
lcer is the equal of any one in the
country but Newport harbors incomes
that make the compensation which I'm
Gle San deems sufficient for his defend
ers seem positively silly. Consequently
lne IaVorlte sons of Pluto can afford
70 don as many suits of clothes as
there are hours in the day, and, more
10 the point. still, can go to the best
OF tallors for them. Mars sons how
ever, are always at a loss IN civilians
clothes. They have forgotten "the
nang" OF them, or their tailors take adj
vantage OF them, or perhaps no man
once seer in a uniform can ever COM
pare with himself again out of uni
form. The slender young lieutenants
whose figures are their fortunes are
perfectly aware of the immense advan-
tase they possess over every other man
when in government blue and gold.
But it is not wholly a question of
pecuniary convenience, nor yet of van
lty, which %actuates the majority of
those who would make the wearing of
the uniform a customary thing. Many
officers take pride in their badge of
government service. They point to the
proudest armies in the world and show
now their officers are compelled by
regulation to wear their uniforms.
The great enthusiasm over the army
aroused by regular troops at the recent
Madison square tournament has en-
couraged many men who would gladly
see the United States army known and
loved by the people at large.
Very few inconvenience ever have
come to those who did not wear their
uniforms. Indeed, as one man said,
some officers made a much more ridic-
ulous figure in inappropriate or old
fashioned civilians clothes han they
ever could in full regimentals. Prac-
tice is pretty evenly divided at posts
near small towns, and one officer who
habitually wore his uniform remem-
bered once being asked by some small
boys where was "de band" while hun
dreds of times it was a friendly recog-
milton of his uniform or a sort of pride
in it that lighted the eyes which met
his.
Others who prefer their ordinary
garb to the stranger civilians clothes
testify that the uniform has actually
been a help to them. Laughingly, an
officer told of how he but recently
graduated from West Point, and con-
sequently, unaccustomed to pockets,
lost or forgot his money and was I'M
hesitatingly given credit because of
his uniform. And all Newport is full
of the adventure of another young Off
Ger, who escaped being accused of
theft by an irate oma because he
wore army blue"
"You wear the dress of a gentleman y
said she. II don't believe you stole
the money"

Admiral's INSPECTION.

There was the beginning of an Ad-
miral's inspection aboard the U. S. s..
Philadelphia yesterday forenoon. The
decks were cleared for action, and all
the guns were worked, as if in actual
warfare. The men at their posts and
obeying every command with dispatch,
gave the warship an extremely warlike
appearance. The launches stripped of
all canvas, the ladders over the sides
and the swinging around of the Phila-
delphia, heightened the effect
There was unusual activity. The
men were first inspected in uniform.
All the boats were then armed for dis
tant service. Then came fire drill, col
lision drill and abandon ship, the last
being, perhaps, the most interesting to
watch. Provisions for several weeks
were put into the boats and all hands
put off, leaving not soul aboard
