GOOD MILITARY MATERIAL HERE.
The superior condition of some of the State
organizations and the fact that there is an
abundance of good material available in all
parts of the State makes people who have
studied the question believe that with the proper
care and management the National Guard of the
state of New-York may be made an ideal body
The nucleus for regiments equal to the 9TH or the
9TH Maryland. and for companies as good as any
that attracted attention in the Grant Day parade

Develop the pride of the men" said q veteran
who IL deeply interested in the Guard. make
the men believe that one regiment is as good as
another. and great deal better, and give them
officers who will work To that end, and you'll
have Ith Regiments all over the state. Officers
must take an interest in their men and men
must look up to and respect their officers II good
results are TO be gained. No man ever respects
q man because he holds position, but he does
bow before the mans superior knowledge. For
that reason paper soldiers are a detriment to
the service and breed contempt for the service

RACE OF LITTLE nIooERs." !"
Savage Dwarfs Who Live Near the Bao
of Bengal

In an archipelago in the Bay of Ben
gal there exists a race of savage
dwarfs Sailors call them LITTLE mig
gers because the average height OF
them is four feet ten inches, the wo-
Elea reaching a stature of four fee
seven inches. The oldest thing abou,
these little people. says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, is that they look like
babies all their lives. 1t is only lately
that these dwarfs OF the Andaman
islands have known how to build fires.
There is volcano on one of these
islands, and from this they have pro-
cured fresh supplies Of fire when neces-
sary, but they know how to keep slow,
siumbering embers sufficiently alive
not to compel them often to visit the
volcano. The thing which has excited
their curiosity most of anything intro
duced by the whites is the friction
match. Formerly the dwarfs of the
Andamans were accustomed to muir
der all strangers who reached their
shores. Even now sailors wrecked il
the Bay of Bengal would probably be
massacred. 1t is believed the inveter-
ate hostility of the little niggers"
arose originally from the cruel prac-
tices of the Malays, Burmese and Chi
nese, who visited the Andamans to get
edible birds nests and sea cucumbers,
and who used to capture the little ma
tives and sell them for slaves. There
are several shades of color among them,
ranging from bronze to shiny black.
Their hair is extremely friZzled, grow
ing in spiral tufts. 1t is fine, and sell
dom becomes more than two or three
inches long. Most of the women shave
their heads once week, leaving only
two narrow strips Of hair from the
crown to the nape of the neck. Many
of the men do the same, although the
style is different. They leave a patch
like a skull cap on the crown of their
heads. The most remarkable custom of
these little people is the wearing of
necklaces of human bones. When
child dies it is buried, only to be dug UP
again. The father carries the body to
the nearest creek and removes the flesh
from the bones with the greatest care,
carrying them and the skull back to
his hut. The mother, after painting
the latter with yellow pigment, hangs
it around her neck Infants skulls, be-
ing fragile, are protected by a covering
Of string. For few days a mother
will spend all her time stringing the
bits of bone into necklaces, to be dis
tributed among her friends as memen-
toes. These are supposed to ward off
disease. Teeth are also strung as neck
laces, every native of the Andaman
Stands wearing a chain Of some sort OF
luman bones.

WHAT A LIE.
A Editor Says That 1t Takes Money
to Run Newspaper.

From the Covington (Ohio) Gazette:
'1t takes money to run newspaper"
st. John (Kan) News
What an aggregation; what whop-
per. 1t has been disproved thou
sand times; it is a clean case OF airy
fancy. 1t doesn't take money 10 run
a newspaper; it can run without mon
ey. 1t is a charitable institution,
begging concern, highway robber.
BGodfrey the newspaper is the child
Of the air, creature Of a dream. IL
can go on and on and on. when any
other concern would be in the hands
Of receiver and wound up with cob
webs in the window. 1t takes wind to
run newspaper; it takes gall to run
a newspaper 1t takes scintillating,
acrobatic Imagination, and a half doz-
sn white shirts, and a railroad pass to
run a newspaper But money-Heav-
ems to Betsy and six hands round, who
ever needed money in conducting
newspaper. Kind words are the med
ium of exchange that do the business
for the editor-kind words and church
social tickets. When you see an ed
ltor with money, watch him. He'll
be paying bills and disgracing his pro-
fession. Never give money to an edi-
tor. Make him trade it out. He likes
to swap. Then when you die, after
having stood around for years and
sneered at the editor and his little Jim
crow paper be sure and have your wife
send in for three extra copies by one
OF your weeping children, and when
she reads the generous and touching
notice about you, forewarn her to ne
glect to send fifteen cents to the editor.
1t would overwhelm him. Money is
corrupting thing The editor knows it
and what he wants is your heartfelt
thanks. Then he can thank the print
ers and they can thank their grocers.
rake your job work to the job office
and then come and ask for half rates
letter heads and stationery printed
out OF town, and then food the editor
with beautiful thoughts in resolutions
OF respect and cards of thanks. They
make such spicy reading, and when
you pick it up filled with those glow
ing and vivid mortuary articles, you
are so proud of your little paper. But
money-scorn the filthy thing. Don't
let the pure, innocent editor know
anything about it. Keep that for
sordid tr.adespeople who charge for
their wares. The editor gives his bounty
away. The Lord loves cheerful giver
He'll take care of all the editors. Don't
worry about the editor He has a
charter from the state to act as a door
mat for the community He'll get
the paper out somehow; and stand up
for you when you run for Office, and lie
about your pigeon-toed daughters
tackey wedding, and blow about your
big-footed sons when they get a ST per
week job, and weep over your shriveled
soul when it is released from your
grasping body, and smile at your giddy
wife's second marriage. He'll get along.
The Lord alone knows how-but the
editor will get there somehow.

Cost More Than He's Worth.

A dog who has eaten up a farm and
a set of buildings has been found in
eastern Maine. This dog killed a
neighbor's sheep. The neighbor Of
fered to call it square if the dog was
killed. The dogs master refused to
agree to this, and lawsuit came next
To pay the costs and damages assessed
by the court the owner of the dog had
to mortgage his farm for S100. The
mortgage had bigger appetite than
the dog, and soon his farm was gone
and the owner had to move away. The
log is now dead.

Rin.ie.s Curtaln Poia

In the ringless curtain pole made
by an English firm there is al under
cut groove IN the under side Of the
pole, in which work a set Of metal
eyes. which hang out of the opening
of the groove, and roll in it. on small
rollers working in the undercut por-
tion of the groove. 1t is ingenious
and simple, and certainly seems like
ly to work more smoothly than the
ordinary curtain ring.
