drew the money and skipped out. leaving
his mother the burden of a double sorrow
The mother does not wish to prosecute the
migrate but officers want him. and will

Army Marriages,

General Miles, as commanding gen
eral OF the army, has just been called
upon to decide on a somewhat delicate
question in which military discipline
was mixed up with moral and senti-
mental considerations. AS is we'll
known, the army authorities regard q
soldier married as soldier marred, es-
pecially if the soldier is private, and
commanding officers have often gone so
far as to refuse permission to wed to
the men under them. Recently chap
lain out at Fort Assiniboin, in Mon
tana, joined in the bonds of matrimony
a private stationed there and a young
woman who was working as domestic
servant for the family of one of the Off
GERS. No permission for the wedding
had been granted, and none had been
asked. Next day the post commander
reprimandcd the chaplain severely, de-
claring that his act was unauthorized
and improper. The chaplain resented
this and appealed to the adjutant gen.
eral, from whom the case went to Cen
eral Miles for final action. In rendering
his decision General Miles says: "The
course of the chaplain appears to be
fully warranted by law and regulations.
While the objection to soldiers marry
ing is well recognized it is not prohib-
ited by law or regulations, and the mil
itary authorities are not, therefore, war
ranted in intervening. New York

A Bridge Kept In Repair by Mussels

The byssus, or silky beard, by which
the mussel moors itself to the stone, is
afamillar object Of our sea rocks 1t is
in its nature like the silk of the silk
worm and exudes in Il glutinous thread
from an organ at the base of the foot.
The following is an instance in which
the moorinS of the mussel was useful to
effect purpose which human skill
could not accomplish. A large bridge,
with 20 arches in the town of Biddeford,
i'll Devonshire, crosses the Torridge river
near the spot of its junction with the
Taw.
The tide flows so very rapidly here
that it was found impossible to keep the
bridge i'll repair by means of mortar.
The corporation therefore keeps boats
employed i'll bringing mussels to it, and
the interstices of the bridge are filled by
hand with these mussels.
1t is supported from being driven
away by the tide entirely by the strong
threads which these mussels fix to the
stonework, and by an act Or grant it is
crime liable to transportation for any
person to remove the mussels unless i'll
the presence and by the consent of the
cooperative trustees. Scottish Nights.

CARPET PRINTING.
When the First Experiments Were Made
by John Bright.


by John Bright.
The printing of tapestry and velvet
carpets, after being woven in the white,
dates back so OF more years ago. Old
carpet men will at once recall the fabric
made by John Bright at ROchilale, Eng
land, and how he flooded our country
with his products. Their introduction,
howeve-, was difficult, as they came III
conflict with the productions of John
Crossley d Sons, then the greatest pro-
ducers of the original tapestry and vel
vets in the world. The difference, of
course, between the two productions
was that the Crossleys had the designs
printed, as now, i'll colors on the warp
before weaving, while that made by
John Bright TAPESTRY had its figures
and colOrs stamped upon the fabric by
hand after it was woven. The latter
process, however, presented drugget
effect and lacked the style and accurate
registration of the Crossley carpets.
They had one thing o commend them
they We're very durable. Brights goods
were first printed with blocks, and, be-
ing durable and cheap, their sale was
large in many countries.
Cylinders OF rollers We're afterward
used by Bright, the cue being taken
from calico and kindred printing, but
they varied much in their construction.
One of these, used by an English manu-
facturer, was a very elaborate and ex-
pensive affair The engraving of the de-
sign upon the cylinder was very deep,
and the colors placed i'll their proper
places to correspond precisely with the
fabric itself, a painted design, contain
ing every color to be employed, being
used as guide. In fact, the exact col
oring of the carpet was placed upon the
cylinder and from it transferred to the
plain fabric. c.-American Carpet and

Bad Roads Consume.

AT the farmers congress at Indian
apolis Mr.. Otto Dorner, the Milwaukee
member of the League of American
Wheelmen national committee for road
improvement, told the truth succinctly
when he said: ''The elements entering
into the transportation of grain to the
railway are time, horses and vehicles.
Bad roads consume them all; good roads
conserve ALL" He pointed out that since
New Jersey had undertaken the con-
struction of good roads the quantity of
potatoes that could he hauled to the load
had increased from so baskets to So or

Longevity of Ants.

Sir John Lubbock, the naturalist,
who has done more to popularize the
study of insect ways and habits than all
the other modern entomologists COM
bined, has been experimenting to find
out how long the common ant would
live if kept out of harms way. On Aug.
8, 1883, an ant which had been thus
kept and tenderly cared for died at the
age of 10 years, which is the greatest
age any species of insect has yet been
known to attain. Another individual Of
the same species of ant (Formica fusca)
lived to the advanced age of 13 years,
and the queen of another kind (Lasius
niger laid fertile eggs after she. had
passed the age of 8 years.

UNSPOkEN.

When you owe fellow money,
1t is always kind of funny
How you'd just little rather that you didn't
chance to meet
OF course you mean to pay it,
And you know he wouldn't say it
If he even got to thinking you trifle indis-
Greet.
You know he wouldn't bone you
For the temporary loan you
Cnthinkingly asserted you would very prompt
ly pay;
But though cordially you greet him,
1t is true you never meet him,
But you wonder if he's thinking of the things
he doesn't say.
Though you grasp his hand with ardor,
Though you grip it hard and harder,
You II still be sadly conscious Of a something
in between,
OF sonnet hing intervening,
Of the whi h you guess the meaning.
For you know it's but the spirit of the cash he
hasn't seen.

GRANT AND CONFEDERATE.
The Commanders Consideration Tor
Wounded Officer of the Enemy.

The following anecdote is related by
General Horace Porter in his Cam
paigning With Grant, in The Century:
While riding about the field General
Grant stopped at a house and expressed
a desire to prepare some dispatches A
number of wounded We're lying upon
Me porch and i'll the rooms. They had
made their way there in accordance
with the usual custom of wounded men
to seek a house. 1t seems to be natural
instinct, as house conveys the idea of
shelter and of home. | walked with the
general into a back room to see whether
there was dry spot which he might
take possession of for a short time to
write messages and look over the maps
AS we entered there was seen sitting
in the only chair a Confede rate lieuten-
ant of infantry who had ocen shot i'll
the left check, the ball passing through
his mouth and coming out near the
right ear. A mass of coagulated blood
covered his face and neck, and he pre-
sented shocking appearance. He arose
the moment We entered, pushed his
chair forward toward the general and
said, with bow and smile, "Hcre,
take my chair, sir" General Grant
looked at him and replied: "Ah, you
need that chair much more than l.
Keep your seat. l see you are badly
hurt" The officer answered good ma
turedly: eff you folks let me go back
to our lines, l think l ought to be able
to get a leave to go home and see my
girl. But l reckon she wouldn't know
me now" The general said, Il will see
that one of our surgeons does all i'll his
power for you,' and then stepped out
of the room. He told one of the surgeons
who was dressing the wounds of our
men to do what he could for the Con
federate. We did not hear what became
of him afterward He probably never
knew that he had been talking to the
general i'll chief Of the Yankee armies
The dispatches We're afterWwsr1 written
in another room.

A SCENE IN LONDON.
Picturesque Description of Trafalgar
Square by the Artist, C. ID. Gibson.

Picturesque Description of Trafalgar
Square by the Artist C. ID. Gibson.
The bewildering scene always reminds
me OF the art student once savS4aint-
ing it from the steps of the gallery, and
l thought then that if the actors on the
great stage in front of her could have
seen the hopeless condition of her CAN
vas and her pale worried face they
might have stood still for awhile. But
the panorama has never stopped, and
the only quiet figures in Trafalgar
square are its bronze statues. There you
will see country boys looking with ad-
mlrlng envy at the smart uniforms of
the soldiers and with terror at the dingy
army OF sandwich men shuffling through
the gutter, carrying advertisements of
hot and cold luncheons, Turkish baths,
manicure parlors and places Of amuse-
ment, serving at the same time as awful
examples of what will happen to all
those who do not take the sergeant's ad-
vice and become soldiers.
Even some of the street beggars are
familiar. The "old rat man" and his
pets find Brighton too dull in the winter
and come up to London for the season,
to mix once more in its streets, where
all kinds of horses are driven by as
great variety of men, from the ped
dler to the powdered wigged coachman.
Cable cars and trolleys would be sadly
out of place III London, and horseless
carriages would be a calamity. There
should be no need to go faster than a
horse can trot, and the best way of all
is to walk, for then you can enjoy shop
windows and look into the faces of the
passersby and speculate OH who they
are. You can 60 at your own speed and
cross the street as often as you wish, or
stand on bridge while scows drift
slowly under you and the embankment,
with all its lights, and st. Paul's in
the distance sink into the smoke and
darkness like the dissolving views of a
lecturer on travel. London as Seen
