Guard and a favor to be admitted to it,
and, consequently, the rank and file
are selected men, the very flower of the
youth of America. No one Is enlisted
who cannot pass a severe medical ex-
animation, or who is not acceptable as
a companion and friend to his future
comrades; and while captain has
legal right to enlist any man, subject to
the approval of the colonel and sur
geon. he seluOm exercises this right
without unOtticially consulting his men.
SO great is the conservatism and eX-
clusiveness in some regiments that
members are actually selected, precise
ly as they would be elected by club,
and four or five black balls will eX-
clude a recruit. The term in this coun-
try is not IAN officer and gentleman"
as in Europe, but "a soldier and
gentleman"-by the term gentleman"
being meant not person who is not in
trade, but person with the manners
and feelings of a gentleman, and no one
who is likely to disgrace the Guard is
admitted. If a mistake is made the
man is expelled, as from a club, and
expulsion is a disgrace keenly felt.
The armories of the Guard are, in
many places, very magnificent and
costly structures, equipped with all the
conveniences of a gymnasium and a
club house. In the Greater New York
alone, $S,000,O00 have been expended
on armories. and the famous Seventh
owns million-dollar structure. IN
Boston, the new armOry of the First
corps, Cadets on Columbus avenue, is
one of the finest buildings in that city;
and in the West the armories are
among the most important structures
in large cities.
There was a time not so long ago,
/ when Americans were the poorest
shots in the world. A soldier of the
civil war period shot away 300 pounds
of lead before he shot his man. But
during the last ten years there has been
n most remarkable revival of interes
in rifle practice in the United State $.
In New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and other
States nearly every infantry and cav
airy officer and man is a marksman,
who has won the State decoration at
the short ranges. And the sharp
shooters and experts who have quail
fed at the long ranges are numbered
by the thousand. When the new rifle,
already issued to the army, is also
issued to the Guard, the Americans
will be almost as formidable antagon-
lists as the Beers, or the Kentucky rife
men who defeated the best troops OF
Europe at New Orleans.
The minor tactics of the Americans
are borrowed from the Indians whom
their fOrefathers fought The Ameri

Stopping n Leak in a Boat.

In the narrative of his journey to
Burmah, Captain Gill, r. E., incident
ally gives some scraps OF information
that may be found practically useful.
In ore of his stories says Harper's
Roun1 Table, he describes the way h
which a leak was stopped In a junk
which met with a mishap while sailing
up tie Yang-tze river. The skipper OF
the loaf was AN old lady, a widow
whom the Captain, with shocking lack
of gallantry, designated Jezebel. Her
force of lung and store of bad temper
were such that none of the coolies or
boat men could withstand her, and ii
was only when ascending the rapids
she would for a time yield her conf
mand to the pilot. On ONE occasion
the junk ran aground and knocked a
big hole in her side. Jezebel, looking
at il with unconceTn, remarked, be-
tween the whiffs of her pipe, cotton
wool" by which she meant that the
breach was to be repaired with that
material. The coolies first put ON o
plaster of Witty brown paper, mud and
grains of rice. Over that they nailed a
piece of wood, and stuffed the I'M
terst;ces with cotton wool and bamboo
shavings. The patch was, OF course,
put on inside. The operation was a
long one, and, extraordinary as this
method of boat repairing may appear,
it proved tolerably effectual,, although
from the amount of bailing that was
always necessary afterward, one voy-
ager suggested that the vessel should
be called the "Old Bailee."

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. AT Cor
NTH, w. Va, Joseph Giassani, an Italian
coal miner, was so badly beaten that he
can not live until morning, and four of
his fellow countrymen were severely NAL
treated. Giassani was knocked down and
all the Hungarians devoted their atten-

with severe but not dangerous wounds.
Giassani's skull was crushed an arm and
half a dozen ribs broken, while his legs,
body, head and arms are masses of bruises
and cuts. Sheriff Wilson went to the
scene, but the Hungarians defed him and
his two deputies. Tonight the Hun

DROWNED IN THE ST. MARES RIVER
BODY of John Weiglc. a Pioneer.
FOund Floating i'm the stream.

Occur d'Alene Idaho, Aug. 4.-The
body of John Weigle, one of the pion-
Ger settlers of the St. Maries valley,
was found floating in the st. Maries
river near his home Monday. He left
home Friday of last week with two
horses, intending to swim them across
the river some miles below, and it is
supposed that he was drowned while
attempting to do so. The horses re-
turned to the house and the family be-
came alarmed and search was insti-
tuted, but no trace of the missing man
was found until his body was discovered
floating in the stream. The verdict of
the coroner's jury was death by accidental
drowning. Weigle was middle-aged
man and leaves a wife and two children.

after line of skirmishers come creep
ing towards the enemy, hiding behind
trees, rocks, or hillocks, and envelop-
ing the enemy's TANKS like swarm of
angry hornets, infuriating him because
he cannot reply to unseen sharpshoot-
ers whose bullets are decimating his

responsibility upon individual rifiemen,
and every effort is being made to make
every American soldier a sharpshooter.

Deut. viii.-3. That is as true as the
gospel from which it is taken. Man
lives for the most part on whatever he
can get hold of, the flesh of bird, beast,

his palate, and the clayeaters of the

Mr.. Kitzele has not always lived on

gave up lye and took to milk as more

Another fragment of the famous Parian
chronicle, part of which is in the Ash
mclean museum, at Oxford, has been
found on the Island of Palos. 1t is very
important, as it contains the chronology
of the years from 1886 to 300 before Christ,
the period of Alexander of Macedon and
of the Diadochi, the generals who divided
his empire among themselves.
