Gen. sternberg,s Recommendation.

WASHINGTON Aug. Sturgeon Cen
eral Sternberg, of the army, has recon-
mended to Secretary Alger that the troops
now at Camp Alger, Va, near this city,
be removed at an early day to some other
location more healthy than that they now
occupy. The increasing number of typhoid
fever cases, which disease has prevailed
there for some time, is the reason assigned
by General Sternberg in making the recon-
mendation. The general believes in a fire.
quent change of the camping ground of any
large number of troops, and he thinks that
as frequently as ten days would not be too
often for change. This does not mean
that the troops necessarily should be re-
moved from one grand mobilizing point to
another but perhaps to some other location
within the limits of general camp.

Bright spars, that is to say, unpaint- ed spars of wood, are fast disappear ing from the deep~water ships of the world, for the reason that such ships are no longer built of wood, but of steel, as are also their lower masts, and often their top mast, and, it may be, their yards, too, up to and including their topgallant yards, and these are al- ways painted. There is a four-masted British ship now lying at South street wharf whose only bright spars are her topgallant masts and jigger topmost. Excepting her royal yards all the rest of her spars, bowsprit, lower masts, topmasts on the three forward masts, and all her yards below her royals are of iron and all painted.

There is such a difference in the colored people in the north and in the south," said southern woman. T am often reminded of an incident which occurred down in Tennessee shortly after the war.

The Bird of Freedom.

The American Eagle voiced his sen- timents on the 4th of July, 1776, in the great and only Declaration of Inde- pendenee, but he did not take shape for several weeks after that day. Immedi- ately after the declaration had been read to the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia at that time, resolution was passed creating Benja- min Franklin, John Adams and Thom- as Jefferson, all Well-known gentle men, to be a committee to prepare a seal of the United States On the 10th day of August they reported, bringing in a combination consisting principally of a Goddess of Liberty, a Goddess of Justice, and an Eye of Providence with a very small and insignificant eagle in one corner of the device. Incidentally also on the device was the legend, "E Pluribus Unum." Although the eagle at this time was net much of bird, it still seemed to the Colonial Congress- men that something was wrong with the report of the committee, and the seal had such a bad effect that the re- port was laid on the table, where 1t stayed until 1779. In March of that year it took fresh start with a new committee, but nothing was done until 1781, when among. several designs sub- mitted was one from William Barton of Philadelphia, who made the eagle prominent, and described the bird as emblematic of sovereignty. Another design was furnished by Charles Tom son, secretary of Congress, and the last design, and the one finally adopted, was endorsed MT. Barton's improve ments on the secretary's device, y which made some changes in MT. Tomson's designs, and this was adopt ed June 20, 17S2, at which time the great American Eagle made its first and genuine appearance in the history of the great republic he is under a per- petual engagement to scream for.

Clear Grit sn the Navy.

If there is any one thing that the Cuban war has proved up to the handle it is that our navy is clear fighting grit all the way through. Never once has it failed under any test. Not an officer or a man has fiinched from any danger. but many have wept because others were sent to face death without them. Dewey daring the torpedoes at Manila.

EQUIPPlNe THE ARMY MULE.
Packing Is Science and the Man Who Is
 an Expert Can Make Money.


 an Expert Can Make Money.
 Most of the army mules in Cuba were fitted with the Mexican aparejo, which is to be preferred to the saddle with tree and sawbuck."
 It consists first oi two or more thick felt blankets, folded large enough to nearly cover the mule from shoulder to trump. Over this is placed a huge pair of leather bags united by broad band of the same material, the c&vi- ties stuffed with sdft hay.
 This is girthed to the mule by a c1nch nearly foot in width, which is drawn as tightly as possible by a strong man, pulling with both hands, and with foot against the aa,mal's rlbs to give him Q greater purchase. On each side of the spine the articles to be carried are placed and lashed by rope about fifty feet in length, which mas at one end a broad webbing belt to pass under the belly as was done with the others. Another "suueezing" IS given and the rope is crossed in diff terent directions over the load, tight ened at every crossing, and finally fas- tened in a knot loosed by one pull
 Packing is a science, and as such commands good wages. I have known chief packer" to be paid salary of Sl50 per month on the frontier, and his services were worth the money paid The duty is taught to cavalrymen as part of their drill, and many of the soldiers become very expert at it. At a pack drill of the Ninth Cavalry a few days before it left Montana one com- pany packed it's mule in 1 minute and 54 seconds, and others were but little slower
 Thirty mules generally constitute a ''train, and are managed by three men. They are trained to follow bell. worn by horse, white preferred, as being more readily seen. They are not confined in any way except when first put into the train; then, any straying from it is punished very severely and MT. Mule soon learns his place and that it is best to keep it.
 Each man with the train carries a diamond-shaped leather blind with leather cords attached to the ends and knotted together If pack becomes disarranged two of the men lead tho mule out of the trail, blindfold him with this blind, rearrange his load, re. move the leather and allow him to re- join his fellows. He is never struck when started, and pack mules are never misused by good packers.
