Army Marriages.

General Miles, as commanding gen.
eral of the army, has just been called
upon to decide on somewhat delicate
question i'll which military discipline
was mixed up with moral and senti-
mental considerations. AS is well
known, the army authorities regard a
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 a 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
reprimanded 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 Gen
eral Miles for final action. In rendering
his decision General Miles says: 1.-The
course of tho chaplain appears to be
fully warranted by law and regulations.
While tho objection to soldiers marry
ing is well recognized it is not prohib-
tied by law OF regulations, and the mil
itary authorities are not, therefore, war
ranted in intervening. New York

The Japanese In California.

Every month sees more Japanese ar
rive, and a larger percentage of them
are common laborers, who enter the hop
yards, orchards and sugar beet fields Of
California. In fruit packing they have
crowded out white men and women.
They are as quick as women and girls
in handling fruit and are more accurate
and steadily Industrious. They practi-
cally monopolize the industry of beet
pulling on the large ranches devoted to
the sugar beet. Complaints of the rapid
displacement of white laborers by Japa-
nese in orchard work induced the labor
bureau recently to make an investiga-
ton. They found that the Japanese
worked under cooperative plan and
that by this means they were able to
make contracts at low prices. Several
associations in San Francisco are en-
gagged in house cleaning, dividing the
profits among their members. The jap
anese are doing large trade in San
Francisco III bamboo ware and mating,
which are used mainly for decoration of
rooms. They have cut into the Chinese
trade in curios and embroidered silk
garments. -Chautauquan.

Heat Photographs.

The invisible radiations from q heated
body possess the power of effecting GER
tain chemical decompositions much after
the manner of lights, as, for instance,
in photography. Among the substances
sensitive to weak radiations of heat may
be mentioned paper saturated with Gu
pric bromide, or a mixture Of sulphate
Of copper and potassium bromide, which
has faint greenish tint that becomes
olive brown in radiant heat, and, if
green is used, a brown image can be OBJ
tanned in minute by exposing to the
radiations from gas stove, and on
treatment with silver nitrate this image
becomes black by reason of the reduction
of the silver. Bichromated paper is af-
fected by radiant heat, as by light, and
paper impregnated simply with sulphate
of copper yields a feeble image, which
becomes nearly black when treated with
silver nitrate. A mixture Of sulphate Of
copper and oxalic acid gives a paper
which becomes brown ON exposure.
Chlorate of copper is also very sensitive,
the faint blue color becoming deep
green. Similarly used bromide of tin
behaves as if exposed to light, but unex-
posed parts become very black when
treated with silver nitrate. Nitrate of
silver, which is markedly acted upon by
light, is slightly Drowned when exposed
to heat radiation, and the tint is deep
ened by hydroquinone Or gallo acid

kOSSUTH AS AN ORATOR.
Imposing In Appearance and the Finest
Speaker Of His Time.

''In appearance Kossuth was taller
than Americans had been led to sup
pose. His face had an expression of pen
etrating intellect" writes Parke God
win, recalling the American visit in
1851 of the great Hungarian patriot
in paper of the "Great Personal
Events" series in The Ladies' Home
Journal. "It was long, the forehead
broad, but not excessively high, though
a slight badness made it seem SO, and
the chin narrow, but square in its
form. His hair was thin in front and
dark brown, as was his beard, which
was quite long, but not very thick, and
arranged with neatness and taste. His
mustache was heavy and rather long.
His eyes were very large and of light
blue. His complexion was pale. AS a
speaker his manner was at once incom-
parably dignified and graceful. His
posture and appearance in repose were
imposing, not only from their essential
grace and dignity, but from sense of
power they impressed upon the beholder.
He spoke as if with little preparation
and with that peculiar freshness which
belongs to extemporaneous speaking,
and the wonderful compactness and art
Of his argument were not felt until you
reflected upon it afterward. He gesticu-
lated freely, equally we'll with both
arms. Nothing could be more beautiful
in its way than was the sweep of his
right hand, as it was raised to heaven
when he spoke of the Deity; nothing
sweeter than the smile which at times
mantled his face. Beyond doubt he
was the greatest of orators then living"

The CanerNns.

When Don Cameron is retired from
the senate of the United States on the
4th of March, it will be the first time
in generation that the senate has been
without a Cameron among it's members.
His father, Simon Cameron, entered the
senate in 1916 and was famous Wing
leader ten years before the Republican
party was born. His son was elected
largely through the fathers popularity
in Pennsylvania. If we leave out the
brief period during the Lincoln admin
istration, when Simon Cameron was
secretary of war and minister to Russia,
and three years following, when he was
in retirement, the period Of Cameron
occupancy Of senatorial chair will
have lasted for over half q century

Making Marbles.

Marbles arc manufactured from the
material which gives them their name.
At the marble quarries the refuse stone
is broken by hand into small cubes A
bushel or more of these is poured into a
great revolving cylinder, which is sup
piled with water from a faucet The
cylinder is revolved at high rate of
speed, and the cubes, by attrition, are
ground down to the tiny spheres which
give such delight to the hearts Of the
boys. From one to two hours are usu-
ally required to finish lot Of marbles,
and they are afterward sorted according
to size and painted by hand. The crock
cry marbles, or potteries, are nodded OF
the same material as ordinary earthen-
ware, and are then glazed and baken.
The glass marbles containing images
and flowers are nodded.

Travellers shudder with horror at the
thought of the train-wrecker who stealthily
undermines the supports of a railway bridge
and precipitates passenger train with its
load of precious human freight to a horri-
BILE death by FIRE and water. There is
deadlier enemy than the train-wrecker that
menaces not only travellers but stay at
homes It's name is indigestion. 1t slowly
undermines the supports that hold up the
bridge of life and yearly precipitates untold
thousands into the dread valley of consump-
ton. If people will only take the right pre-
caution they can avoid this calamity and
even remedy it after it has occurred if they
will act in time.
All cases of indigestion and every disease
that has its inception in indigestion or faulty
nutrition are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t cures 90 per cent. of
all cases of consumption. 1t cures wasting
diseases. 1t is an unfailing remedy for nerv-
Gus prostration. 1t is the great blood-maker,

have testified to its merits. There is nothing
else "just as good" Druggists sell it.

MACHINERY and Men.

Since 1646 machinery has on an enor-
nous scale supplanted manual labor.
The knotter of the self binder completes
a round Of mechanism which threatens
to make the farmer man OF sedentary
habits. If the cotton boil remains I'M
picked by machinery it may be because
the botanist must first produce a plant
maturing all at once instead Of at sue
cessiye periods. In superseding the hand
the inventor often succeeds by feats far
removed from imitation. Merganthaler
replaces the typesetter by arranging
matrices from which lines of solid metal
are cast. Lanston's machine for SIM
liar purpose exemplifes noteworthy
aim of nvention-initiation by means
involving the slightest eXertion possible.
An operator at keyboard symbolizes a
manuscript as a series Of punctures in
strip of paper, the pinholes free pulses
of compressed air which actuate the
machine. Initiation, however, reaches
its final form in electrical devices. A
clerk in New York perforates successive
messages on paper ribbon, which.
driven between electrical springs, trans
mits 1000 words minute to Philadel-
phia. Intelligence in such feat as this
is given only that part of task for
which it is indispensable. All else is
committed to mechanism actuated at
speed and with force denied to nerve,
or muscle. Self Culture.

On this old lawn, where lost hours pass
Across the shadows dark with dew,
Where autumn on the thick sweet grass
Has laid weary leaf or two,
When the young morning keenly sweet,
Breathes scorers 10 the silent air,
Happy is he whose lingering feet
May wander lonely there.
The enchantment of the dreaming lines.
The magic of the quiet hours,
Breathe unheari tales Of other times
And other destinies than ours.
The feet that long ago walked here
Still, noiscless. walk beside our feet,
Poor ghosts, who found this garden dear
And found the morning sweet.
Age weeps that it no moro may hold
The heartache that youth clasps so close,
Pain finely shaped in pleasures mold,
A thorn deep hidden in a rose.
Here is tho immortal thorny rose
That may in no new garden grow
Its root is in the hearts Of those
Who walked here long ago! e. Nessit

Picturesque Description of TrafaIga
Square by the Artist, G. ID. Gibson.
The bewildering scene always reminds
me of the art student once saw paint
ing it from the steps of the gallery, and
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 adj
miring envy at the smart uniforms of
the soldiers and with terror at the dingy
army Of sandwich men shutting 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 adj
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 in London, and horseless
carriages would be 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 on who they
are. You can 60 at your own speed and

ARCHITECTURAL ART.

it has been an architecture Of exception

experiments which have failed and OF
revivals which have been fruitless.
These. Municipalities, with their con.

have been embarrassed rather than aided
by their knowledge of the great achieve
ments of the past. 1t does not seem to
have occurred to them to appeal to the
sympathies of the people by uttering
their inspirations in the vulgar tongue,
but they have labored with immense
talent and ingenuity to interpret and
apply dead languages. Their efforts
have been reminiscent, exclusive and
experimental. The architects have an.
alyzed, theorized, disputed and argued.
They have formed schools conserving
classic or romantic traditions-schools
which have fallen apart because prog.
ress has been found to be impossible on
merely archaeological lines.
Many of the Municipalities developed
under these conditions have been bril-.
liant and powerful and have had great
following of lesser men. AS the century
