CITIZENS IN SOLDIER CLOTHES.
No Civil Law or Military to Prevent
Anybody from Donning an Army

Uniform.
From the Washington Star.
There is an entire absence of law
protecting the army uniforms" OBJ
sered an army officer to a Star reporter,
"and, peculiar as 1t may seem, 1t is
not violation of law, military or civil,
for any unauthorized person to wear
the uniform of an officer or soldier. In
other words. it would not violate any
law If any one paraded the streets at
tired in the full military uniform of a
general, colonel or other officer. In Eu-
rope it is entirely different, and if an
unauthorized person publicly wore the
uniform of an army or naval officer
without authority he would be gobbled
up, stripped of his military or naval
fixings and would have a long stay in
prison for his offence There have been
a number of efforts in this country in
the state legislatures to make it a
crime to wear the uniform, without
proper legal authority, of an officer OF
the State National Guard or militia,
but somehow they were never crys-
tallized into law. The offence does not
often occur, but should it happen, and
it has happened sometimes, there is no
penalty. OF course, if an unauthor-
ized person committed any offense
against the law, such as false pre-
tences, he would be liable to punish
ment under the general law to prevent
frauds.
There is a brass band in New York
city, each member of which wears a
full generals uniform, with the stars
on the shoulders, and some of the Ma
tional Guard of that city tried to have
1t abolished under existing law, but
they failed to do so. The Grand Army
badge and button, as also the badge
of the Union Veteran Legion and the
Regular Army and Navy union and of
the Mexican Veterans union, are pro-
tected to some extent by law, in that
the regulations of the army and navy
provide that those entitled to them can
wear them on certain official occasions,
but even they are not as fully pro-
tected by law as they should be.
THE same absence of protection,
legal protection. / mean, exists in re-
lation to wearing the medal of honor
awarded by congress, and it is known
that certain persons have medals Of
that kind and have worn them with
out the authority of congress. The
bow of the American Legion of Honor
is, however. provided for by law, and
it is a violation of law for any un-
authorized person to have or wear it,"

Trimmed piUeOns.

Pigeons are carefully trained. The
young homer is taken half mile the
first day, a mile the second, two miles
the third, and so ON, doubling the
distance each time. 1t must be liber-
ated each time only in the same direc-
tion as to it's loft, for bird can he
trained only along one route at a
time. When forty miles have been
reached weeks rest comes between.
A hundred miles are enough for n
young birds first year. So essential
is the training that old birds are taken
only two miles out for the first lesson
of season, though they may have
flown their two hundred and fifty
miles the year preceding. The end
of the next season, however, will, if
the birds are willing and the trainer
patient, be crowned by the accom-
plishment of four-hundred-m mile
flight. AS you get higher in the scale
of distance longer and longer rests
are needed.
Male birds are generally used for
long distances; family matters arc apt
to epgross the attention of the hen,
though she is still capable of good
work when she has mind for it.
Pigeon racing as a form of sport
stands almost by itself. All the emu
lation is between the owners; the birds
are quite unconscious that they are
competing, their only motive in putting
forth their powers being to get home
as quickly as possible. There is no
common goal; the winners are the
birds which reach their lofts in the
shortest time. All the birds, having
been stamped on the wing with the
race number known only to the stsrt-
ers, are liberated. say. at Bordeaux,
France. Their owners this side of
the channel watch patiently for their
return. BY simple contrivance, the
bird on entering the loft ON its ar
rival is prevented from getting ont
again. This enables the owner to
capture 1t at once, and he forthwith
dispatches telegram to the club
centre giving the race mark aud the
exact time at which the bird~eached
home. An allowance is made for the
time taken in getting to the telegraph
Office. Good Wo.ds.

for Pale People. He coaxed his grand
daughter to get him IA box of the pills.
After that box had been used he secured
another. In three weeks he began to feel q
little life In his arm; at the end OF four he
could move his fingers; at the end OF two
months he could walk, and In three months
ne could shave himself with the injured
hand.
As he told his story In the Herald ofIlce,
he looked the perfect picture of health. He
carries box OF the pills In his pocket, and
whenever he does not feel just right he
takes them. They cured him after doctors
had given him up, and his death was daily
expected.

Hurrah for the sailors who can
swim Now, that sounds odd, be-
cause it is as much as to say that
tn re are sailors who cannot swim.
Well, ii the readers of these lines will
take census of the swimming sailors
known in their neighborhoods they
will be astonished to discover how
few seafaring men can swim.
A man who can swim knows he has
his fate in his own hands in marine
disaster and can well be cool
and help the really helpless, who are
the women. Every shipwreck brings
to light stories of sailors who haven't
learned the A B G of their calling. 1t
is time that some Indignation society
took steps to make the shipping of
such poor timber illegal.
For self protection as we'll as for
health and pleasure all girls should
learn to swim. 1t is easier than riding
wheel, and. girls. here is secret -
all natural beauty is enhanced hun
dredfold when its possessor is swim
ming like mermaid.
II is so easy to learn to swim. How
man with sand enough to 60 ON the
water at all ever skips that manly art
is mystery. But for brave boy
swimmer the dreaded Spanish tor
pedoes would have left record of
disaster for our navy at Santiago.
One day the officers of our torpedo
boat, the Porter, saw something in
the water making its way toward the
ship. 1t was finally made out to be
floating torpedo shot from Spanish
torpedo boat. The ensign of the
Porter, Van Gordon Gillis, is the son
of gallant sailor and n worthy sea
dog, for he can swim. In spite of the
protest of his captain young Gillis
threw off his jacket and shoes and
leaped into the sea. Swimming to
the torpedo, he drew its fangs by
tightening the exploding tip and then
took the fearful thing on board the
Porter as trophy. Brave, yes; but
what of it without the ability to swim? ?

The Frigate Bird.

The frigate bird is endowed with
magnificent powers of fight. His
wings stretch to an expanse of ten or
twelve; feet his body is about three
feet in length; his bill is very power
full and his feet are webbed, but quite
small; but for these he has but little
use, as his home is in the air, hundreds s
of leagues away from the land.
He is seen soaring high above the
ocean, but on its bosom he never rests.
When he seeks repose he finds it
aloft. His foot rarely touches land,
except at the time for pairing, making
nests and rearing young.
The expanse Of his wing is so great
and his body is SO light that he can
soar with little or no exertion. Still,
it is difficult to ses how this would
enable him actually to sleep on the
wing, as it is believed he does.
A closer examination shows, how
ever, that his bones are hollow, and
that there is large pouch communi-
eating with his lungs and with the
osyities In his bones. This pouch he
can initiate with air, and thus render
himsslf buoyspt; ths sustaining power
