Academy. In 1870 he received his first
command, that of the Narragansett,
which was employed ON special service
until 1876.
The Pacific survey Of 1925 was IN

''white squadron was first given. From
1885 to 1888 he was the commander of
the Pensacola, the flagship Of the Eu-

commodore.

THE SAVING GRACE OF A HOBBY

1T Revives Hope and Enthusiasm and
Makes Life Worth Living.
"A priceless thing Is a hobby. The
daily tasks by which hosts of women
support life are favorless, barren, al
most hopeless. To such ones a hobby
may offer the dearest hopes Of ultimate
freedom from the unwelcome daily
task; it will at any rate serve to enter
tain and give point and flavor to an
otherwise blank existence" is the posi-
ton taken by Carrie e. Garrett dis
cussing "Woman's Dreams and Hob
bies" in the Woman's Home Compan-
ion.
"Hobbies have the power to concen
trate and absorb the scattered energies
which might otherwise be expended in
purposeless fiirtations, building super
fiuous bonnets, reading cheap sensa
tions, gossiping away precious mo-
ments, picking out our friends foibles

These facts are from an old Scotch
paper published in 184S:
'fThe Inhabitants of the larger
islands of the West Indies; st. Do
mingo, Cuba and Porto Rico were In
doient but mild in disposition, fond Of
dancing and other games, governed by
kings called caoiques. They had an
established priesthood, believed inthe
existence of deity and future state
OF rewards and punishments. These
simple people showed great kindness
to Colum bus and his companions while
visiting their islands, and observing
the Spaniards' love for gold gave them
all they possessed.
"a remarkable speech has been pre-
served which an old man, native of
Cuba addressed to Columbus when
presenting him with basket of fruit.
The speech shows the quiet disposition
of the people and their profound vener-
alton for their white visitors.

Development Of the Transvaai.

In 1892 the main trunk line from
Cape Town was. pushed forward from
its then northern terminus to Johannes
burg. The distance from Cape Town
to Johannesburg by rail is lob miles
In 1894 the road was completed from
Delagoa Bay, port in Portuguese ter
ritory on the southeast coast of Africa
to Johannesburg-a distance of 377
miles. The third road reached Johan-
nesburg a year later, from Durham, q
port in the British colony of Natal, dis
teIat4s2 miles, s-s---.a
From $4,000 ounces of gold in 1887
the annual output has risen to 5000, ,OOC
ounces in 1897, giving the Transvaal
the second place in the worlds gold
production. There. Is no doubt that the
present output of the country will rap
idly increase; and probably within a
few years, Notwithstanding the increas
ed output of other countries, the
Transvaal will rank first as gold pro
ducer.
The town of johannesburg may be
taken as a good index of the wonder
full expansion of the gold-mining indus
try Of the district. From a few huts in
1886, 1t has developed into a town un
excelled, if indeed equaled, in the i'm
posing character of Its buildings by
any of the enterprising mining towns IN
Western America. Indeed, Johannes
burg has but little Of the aspect of an
American mining camp. In it's general
appearance it reminds an American

Indications are that the wheat crop
of 1898 will be the greatest in the his
tory of the country. From figures that
are being collected and compiled by
some of the big Chicago firms, based on
the reports of experts in every section
of the country, the oncoming wheat
crop is estimated to exceed $50, ,000,0 900
bushels. All the conditions are report
ed as being of the most favorable ma
ture, and while there is decrease in
acreage the total yield will be more
than double that of 1897. In the fall
of 1885 there was an extraordinary in
crease in acreage, but the conditions
were such that large share of the
crop was plowed up the following
spring, and at harvest time much of
the remaining crop was not worth out
ting. Kansas looms up as the banner
state this year, an increase of 20 per
cent in the acreage having been report
ed. Estimates on the yield vary all
the way from 70,000,000 bushels to
100, 200, 900 bushels, while the COM
bined crops of Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma is estimated at 1000, 900
bushels. Of this 80, 600, 900 to 40, ,0OO,-
600 bushels are credited to Oklahoma
md Kansas will have 80,000,000 to
1000 bushels.

Big Armies.

Russia possesses the largest standing
army, and each year it is growing
larger and larger. Every year some
$4,000 conscripts join the army,
which in time of peace numbers 1000,
600 men. On war footing this rises
to 2,5OO,OOO men, and the calling out
OF the reserve would increase it to G,
947 600 trained soldiers. Should ne
cessity arise, the second and third
bands of the Opoltschenie Cor militia),
consisting of unframed men, could be
called ont by imperial ukase, thus
swelling the Russian army to the
enormous total of 100000 men.
France comes next with a standing
army of $4,000 men. rising to $780,
600 in time of war, which the calling
out of the reserves would increase to
100000. Despite this tremendous
force, the French army is increasing
year by year, and 1898 will see an ad-
dition of some 10000 men.
The German army, which is rightly
considered a model of military perfec-
ton, numbers $4,000 men in peace.
Within ten days of the declaration Of
war Germany could put 2,23O,0OO
trained men into the field, and the
calling out of the reserves would in
crease this number to 100000.

record for youthful millionaires
Some Of the professionals have done
worse.
Another interesting outcome of
Frank Gould's coming of age will be
the effect it will have on the prospects
OF his sister Anna, the Countess Cas-
tellane. She and Count Boni Castel-
lane were married in 1895, and went
to Paris to startle the French capital
by the lavish use of the Gould millions.
They did it. They built a palace,
they gave dinners that cost vast sums
of money, and then came stories that
the money was running short. No
more came from America, for the Jay
Could will protected the stocks and
bonds, and there was nothing to do
but wait for Frank to come of age.
1t was no secret that protest followed
protest from George Gould, the head
of the American house. George Gould
and his wife went to Paris this year
and made Il very short-noticeably
short-stop with the Castellanes.
Then he went to Switzerland and the
Castellanes took trip through the
continent.
In q short time the Countess Cas-
tellane will have all the money she
wants when she gets hold of her share
of the Gould millions.

such and such be loved with all the
fervor of a life? We see honorable
men fascinated into degradation by
an utterly unworthy woman-a woman
without heart, picty, sentiment, or
morality; Il woman who knows no
more of love than she does of virtue.
Yet she has the power to attract, keep
and ruin strong men and noble lives.
We see on the other hand, women
of character and position who lose
themselves, body and soul, for some
worthless vulgarian who has nothing
apparently to recommend him. Hate
ful to one, he is fascinating to another,
and the mystery why remains unsolved
and insoluble.
A wife clings to q drunken, dis
sipated husband, not from a sense of
duty, which is heroic but from ablect
love. the dog love of one hopelessly
subdued and fascinated to the point
which lies beyond self-respect.
a husband adores a woman who has
not charm, physical or mental, that
an outsider can discover, and so on
through the scales of human emotions.
We have this power as clew to many
strange stories in history, which, how
ever, does not advance us much.

Old Glory.

1t is not generally known that the
Star-Spangled Banner is older than
any one OF the present flags OF the
great European powers. 1t was adopt.
ed in 1777 by the Congress of the Thir.
teen colonies of North America, then
at war with the mother country. The
yellow and red Spanish flag came
out in 1885; the French tricolor was
adopted in 1894; the red English en-
blem, with the Union Jack in the up
per corner, dates from 1901; the Sar-
dinian (now the Italian) flag first flut-
tered in 1913; the Austro- Hungarian
flag was one of the consequences OF
the compromise of 1867; the present
German flag first appeared in 1871
and the Russian tricolor is quite re-
cent affair.
The only modification that the
American flag has undergone since its
origin consists in the addition of II new
star every time a new State is taken
into the union. The stars now mum.
Der forty-fve, and, unfortunately for
Spain, it is more than likely that
they have not yet come to the end OF
their multiplication.
