Changing his Identity.

An amusing incident is related to
have occurred on the steamer Dexter,
on a recent trip down the river. just
below vicksburg a family got on
board, en- route for Texas. During
the afternoon the pater familias con-
cluded he would enjoy the luxury OF
a good shave, shampooing, etc., and
for this purpose he applied to the ton
serial artist of the steamer. The lux
ury was speedily supplied him; and,
at his request, hair, eyebrows and
whiskers we're converted from hery
red to raven blackness, by the use OF
the artists dye. The traveller was
hugely pleased at the idea Of surplls-
ing his wife at the transformation,
and hurried to demand the price. I'M
agine his indignation when he was
called upon to forfeit ten dollars. he
swore he would never pay it and hur-
ried to his stateroom to buckle on his
defensive armor. But he was met at
the door by his spouse, outraged by
the intrusion Of a stranger, as she sup
poscd, and admittance refused. He
called himself her husband-she said
he was an imposter He attempted to
explain. 1t was useless. A crowd
gathered around, and the laugh be-
came general. At last, in his per-
plezity, the Hoosier exclaimed:
"Sallie, look at my feet!

reasons. If so, what are they? Have
our appetites failed us, or is cornmeal
not so good as, and -four better than,
formerly, or is it that we have been
Yankeeized in this respect as in some
others?
We ask the attention of the Wash
ington administration to these ques-
tions, hoping that they will not only
be able to secure the general use OF
cornmeal abroad, but that it will be
able to revive the use of it upon a
more extensive scale by our own peo-

Wars in the Future.

AN interesting book on the statls-
tics of war has just been written by
Capt. Otto Berndt, of the Austrian
headquarters staff, and published in
Vienna.
The great wars of the future (ac-
cording to the author) will not be be-
tween single States, but between
groups Of countries. Enormous num-
bers of troops will thus be engaged,
and this will counteract the tendency
of modern arms and explosives to
shorten the duration of war; so
much so that it is improbable that the
wars of the future will be much short
er than the wars Of the past. "Sev-
eral months, but not more than a
year." is the authors cstimatessof the
length of a war.
The cost of future wars will, OF
course, be milliards, but, on the other
hand. Capt Berndt argues that the
loss of life will be less. In the Sew
en- Years War the percentage OF those
killed was %, in the wars Of Napoleon
only 19, while in the Prussian war it
| decreased to IL. This continual ten
| dency to decrease is due to the fact
| that, although SO many more shots are
fred than formerly, comparatively
fewer hit their mark. In the wars in
the earlier half Of the century one shot
in every 40 took effect, but in the
Franco Prussian and later wars only
one in 400 or $50 has reached its aim.
The loss Of life would increase it
| soldiers became more daring, but this
is extremely improbable. The havoc
wrought by schrapnel and the modern
cartridge must necessarily make much
greater impression on the troops than
did the old-fashioned cannon-balls
and bullets, and in the future there
will not be the same clouds OF smoke
to hide the horrors of the battlefield.
| The soldiers nerves will thus be tried
to a much greater extent, and martial
yalor is likely to diminish rather than
to increase. This will tend to pro,
duce decrease of the number killed.
Various other interesting points are
touched upon by Capt. Berndt, whose
conclusions are, in many cases, con-
trary to those generally accepted.

Birds srranx.I, Cone.aIed.

Mr.. 4. II. Thayer. an artist, believes
he has discovered that the light color
of the under parts of birds and small
mammals serves to conceal them from
their enemies. AT a recent meeting of
the American Ornithologists' union he
proved by experiments that an object
nearly of the color of the ground, like
potato. is very conspicuous when
placed a few inches above the soil and
viewed from little distance. But
when the under side is painted white
and gradually shaded into the color OF
the upper part, the object disappears
by blending with the ground; the
whiteness beneath counteracts the ef-
feet of the shadow of the body.
