MARRIAGE FOR SOLDIERS.
An Argument FnvOring Marriages
Among Enlisted Alcn.


The post commander at Fort Assini-
boin, Mont, recently reprimanded Post
Chaplain Bateman because the latter
had officiated at the marriage of non
commissioned officer and young wom-
anat the post. The whole affair was stg-
matized "unauthorized and improper"
but the chaplain didn't think so and
promptly appealed. He held that no
authority was to exist which can grant
or deny permission to enlist men to get
married and that his authority to per-
form the marriage ceremony is in no
way deprived from the military estab-
lishment. The post commander held
that no married men were wanted in
the service and special authority was
not only required to reenlist a married
man but also to marry one.
Gen. Brook, commanding the depart
ment of Dakota, through whose hands
the papers passed, pronounced Chaplain
Bateman's act perfectly lawful and
proper" but favored some rule being
adopted which might prevent enlisted
men from marrying while in the
service. Maj. Gen. Miles comments as
follows upon the points at issue:
"The course of Chaplain Bateman ap-
pears fullywarranted by law and rcgu-
lations. While the objection to soldiers
marrying is well recognized it is not
prohibited by law or regulations and
the military authorities are not, there.
fore, warranted in intervening. As
neither the soldier nor his wife are en-
titled to claim or privilege from the gov
ernment during his service on account
of marriage, under proper administra-
ton no detriment to the service need re-
suit" The major general remarks
further that "the evil consequences like
ly to result from prohibiting the mar
riage of soldiers would no doubt far ex-

BOTTLED BACTERIA.

Fears Hitherto Expressed About
Them Are Passing Away.
The average layman has long been
sustained by secret belief that the
vast majority Of bacteria are harmless,
and, considering that he daily consumes
millions of them in eating, drinking
and sleeping, it is consoling to find the
belief confirmed by an eminent author.
ity.
Another scientist contributing to an
English review does something toward
relieving bacteria of their evil name by
explaining how much they have to do
with successful buttermaking. But
ter, as everyone knows, is best made
from sour cream and does not keep
well unless the cream is soured before
churning. The result is usually at
tained by letting the cream stand till
II sours of its own accord. But series
of experiments carried on in Schles-
wig-Holstein have proved that the sour
ing of cream is produced by the pres
cIce of certain bacteria, which can be
cultivated and introduced in such way
as to cause artificially the necessary
souring.
A doctor named Witter has studied
The subject and 80 skillfully blended
certain cultures together that when
the mixture was added in due proper
tion 10 sterilized cream to effect sour
ing the butter made therefrom was Of
most delicious flavor, pure and of great
commercial value, inasmuch as it kept
admirably"
The dried seed OF powder of the bac-
terra used in this process can now be
bought put up in bottles. A proportion
is added to a small quantity of SKINNED
milk, which is subjected to moderate
continuous heat till the bacteria have
developed. The fermentation starter
is then added to the cream. The pure
culture is only used occasionally,
enough of the "starter" being left over
every day to begin operations with on
the next. The excellence Of Danish but
ter is attributed to the care taken in
choosing the fermentation starter."-

dents l took all my ideas and sketches
and submitted them to the students at

what ] wanted, or what Mrs. Fred Van
derbilt might think sensible, or Mr..
Glider might approve. We might all
make good suggestions, but art stu
dents are to 1--we in the building, and
want it to be adapted to the needs, and,
so far as possible, wishes of the women
who are to occupy it.
"In the same manner consulted busi-
ness women about Business Woman's

en-, with lawyers, journalists and teach
ers, and modelled the design of an apart
ment house and hotel for them on their
own views of what was most practical
and desirable
How much such building as the
Business Woman's hotel is needed in
New York will be understood by any
woman who has ever attempted with
out an escort to get nights lodging
at any respectable hotel in the city. 1t
is an unwritten law that no woman shall
be received unattended, not only in the
hotels, but in the frst-class boarding
houses as well.
1t sounds outrageous, does it not?
But this custom prevails not only in
New York, but to certain extent in
Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.
If the Business Woman's hotel sue
cessfully copes with this one unmiti-
gated evil in the life of the business
woman, as it assuredly will, it will have
vindicated its right to existence.
Renaissance is the style OF architec-
ture suggested for the main body of the
building, with an indication of the Greek
in the pillars and portico of the two
lower stories. The exterior Of the ho-
tel, although somewhat resembling the
club building, in reality will differ from
1t in every detail of interior design and
construction, aiming, as it does, to meet
the demand of the thousands of profes-
sional women desiring to limit expenses
and to gain comfortable and respect
able surroundings for the least expendi-
ture of money. The Club building will
rather aspire to the patronage of the
more luxurious class, who are willing to
pay lavishly for rich surroundings and
the conveniences afforded in the more
sumptuous building.
The Business Woman's hotel will be
.
divided into a series of spall apart
ments and single rooms. The single
rooms will be arranged in groups OF
six, with one parlor and bath for each
group. This arrangement enables each
girl to have her private" parlor one
night in the week, and to have a pleas.
ant place for reunion on Sundays

No Living MammOths.

For several years the story has been
extensively circulated that the natives
of Alaska are acquainted with living
mammoths. The probable origin of the
story was pointed out at recent meet
ing of the Biological Society of Wash
ington by Mr.. c. H. Townsend. In 1885,
when he was in Alaska, some of the ma
tives questioned him concerning the
nature of the giant animal whose bones
are not infrequently found there, and
he drew restorations of the mammoth
In order to show them how it looked
when living. They were greatly inter-
ested in the pictures, aud made copies
of them. These copies, he thinks, have
been widely scattered through Alaska,
and being found by white men in the
hands of the natives, have given rise
to the belief that the prehistoric beasts
still inhabit that country Youths

Oranges Sailed Like Hams.

In order to insure the proper preserva.
ton Of oranges and lemons, these fruits
are salted in Italy as hams are here,
although the process is slightly diff.

found flawless are placed into salt wa.

to eight days, according to their state
of maturity. They are then put away
on shelves to dry and rest. Before be.

THOUSAND ISLAND NAMES.
The Quaint, Poetic and Commonplace
Chosen by New Workers.

Chosen by New Workers.
A large number of the picturesque
Thousand islands, in the st. Lawrence
river, are owned by New York and
Brooklyn people. On most of them are
summer residences-some large and
costly, and Others primitive, odd and
cozy. Each island has its name, and
while some of the names are appro-
pirate, considerable proportion Of
them are surprisingly irrelevant. To
persons familiar with the Thousand
islands, the nomenclature has for years
been source of mild amusement.
The names of about $50 of these little
islands were collected last summer and
printed in small book, together with
the names of their owners. Thus it
appears that there is Scorpion island,
without any scorpions; Coral island,
without corals; Rabbit island, with.
out rabbits; Little Fraud, Little
Delight, Little Charm, Little Angel,
and Two-in-Eel-Bay island.

SOCIAL LIFE IN INDIA.
A Country without Paupers-The Ia-
uer Aspect of Her Famine.

ner ASPECT OI ftcr Num1nc.
Civilized citizens accustomed to an
elaborate and expensive system of poor
relief have perhaps never asked them
selves what is the ordinary social and
civic manner in India OF providing for
the pauper population. remember be-
ing asked by newly-appointed presi-
dent of the poor-law board in one OF
Mr.. Gladstone's cabinets to talk with
him about his new portfolio. "Why not

With subject population of 00,000,000
and 70,O00,OO0 or S0,000,000 more prac-

calculated. "I must look into that!
What is the poor-law system Of Indiaw
And nightly aston Nll was the able
minister when / replied; "There is
none at ALL" Yet so, indeed, it is; and
the reasons of this, immeasurably cred
table morally and socially to the Hindu
people, are well worth grasping by
such as would comprehend the inner
aspects of Indian famines. First Of all,
India is the home of the ideal-re-
ligious, metaphysical and domestic
to an extent which makes those ridicu-
lous who speak Of her creeds as ig-
norant or her inhabitants as "heathen."
You never see any but The most
wretched women begging for aims
there. Why? The explanation proves
how elevated, even If mistaken, the aver
age moral sense is Of the people. Every
woman not deformed or an outcast or
insane-at least in the higher castes-
has been betrothed at an early age to
boy, whose household thence forward
adopts her entirely. II the little hus.
band dies before or during the marriage
the disaster is regarded universally as
the penalty for sins committed by the
female in previous life The widow
must submit and will submit, not mar
rying again, but hoping, by patience,
to rejoin her lord after death, and his
family will, until her demise, Loyalty
support her for his sake. Practically
this view obtains all over the land, and
as every female child becomes be-
trothed all women are definitely pro-
vided for. IL the rash ardor of certain
crude reformers could have its will and
alter this so as to promote the remar-
riage of Hindoo widows all those who
became wives for second time would
find neither of the two allied families
willing to sustain wife belonging in
the next world to two husbands or to
none at all. Besides this the sentiment
of the bhao-bund or blood relationship
Is all powerful in the land and never re-
pudiated AS also in Japan, where
there are no poor-laws and no paupers,
the ties of kinship are everywhere ac-
knowledged, discharged and repaid;
and the household cakes will be distrib-
uted to all who put forth the claim of
poverty hunger and relationship. Add
to all this that charity is not so much
a virtue in India as habit, religious
necessity, an indispensable passport
to further prosperous existences and it
will be seen why India, in most tender
and effective manner fulfills the law
which Christians only, or principally
talk about.-Sir Edwin Arnold, in North
| American Review
