MILITARY HIGHWAYS.
asst weuld solve the Problem in
the Keystone State.

An elaborate system of good high
ways for Pennsylvania is proposed by
Arthur Kirk, of Sharpsburg, Pa. As the
constitution of that state says there
shall be no state debt created except for
military purposes" he proposes that the
state create a complete system of mill
itary roads, which shall traverse the
state from east to west in parallel lines
40 miles apart, and in like manner from
north to south. These military high
ways are not to utilize old roads, but
are to be laid out new under the most
expert supervision; be constructed in
the best manner; have no grade greater
than three per cent, no matter what
grading may be required, and to be
from 40 to so feet wide.
The whole charge of building and
maintaining these highways is to be in
the hands of the secretary of internal
affairs, who is to have three competent
civil engineers as his counselors. All
applicants for positions of engineers in
charge of the construction of these
roads are to be rigidly examined be-
fore they can be appointed. The sec
rotary is to appoint court to hear all
claims and award da images for property
taken for the construction of the roads.
Before each section Of road is COM
pleted, the secretary is to sell at public
auction the right to lay and use a
double track street railway on IL for
transporting freight and passengers,
for a period Of 20 years, and money re-
ceived from this source 10 to become
part of the roaA-building fund.
Before the end of November of each
year, the secretary is to notify the state
treasurer how much will be required
for the following year, which sum shall
not exceed $l2,00O,00O. On the first
Tuesday of each month, the treasurer
shall sell at public auction 20-year three.
percent. state bonds, to an amount not
exceeding ST. ,0OO, 900 per month, until
the sum required by the secretary is
obtained
Such highways are expected to bene-
fit the people so greatly that they will
demand that they be built but 20 miles
apart, and then ten and then FIVE. Mr..
Kirk has given the road question much
attention both here and abroad. His pro-
posed military road law has been
printed with full explanations.

tains and commanding officers are
called captain" all other officers are
called Mr." and not by their official
titles though in addressing them in
writing these titles are always used.
The surgeons, however, are usually
called Doctor" and paymasters of
any grade "paymaster."
Boat salutes are given by tossing
oars, which means holding them up
right in the air with the blades fore
and aft, or by lying on oars. by which
is meant holding the oars horizontal
as they rest in the rowlocks. Cox
SWANS OF boats stand and salute when
passing boats containing officers. All
officers and men, whether in uniform
or not, meeting a senior afloat or
ashore, salute by touching the cap.
When a ship of the navy enters a
port OF any nation where there is q
fort or battery, or where ship-of-
war of that nation may be lying, she
shall fire salute of 81 guns. provided
the captain is satisfied that the salute
will be returned. The flag Of the ma
ton saluted will be displayed at the
main during the salute.
National airs of foreign states hav-
ing war vessels in company with our
own will be played by our bands
as a compliment.-Lieut. Philip An

SALUTES ON A WARSHIP.

Sunrise and None Exceed

No salute exceeds 81 guns, and no sa-
lutte is ever fired except between SUM-
rise and sunset, when the national col
Ors must he displayed; bat it is also
usual not to fire salutes before eight
a. m Whenever the president is en-
parked in a sbip-of-war flying his flag,
all other United States ships-of-war
and naval stations near which he
passes will fire the national salute.
Side-boys are detailed usually from
the apprentice boys. They stand each
side of the gangway in line and salute
by touching their caps as visiting of
iicials come on board or leave Com
missioned officers board and leave a
ship by the starboard gangway. War
rant officers, naval cadets and enlisted
men use the port gangway.
After nightfall all boats coming close
to the ship are hailed by the marine
sentry or by the quartermaster with
the words: Boat ahoy!" A flag Off
Ger answers: Flag" commanding
officer answers the name Of his ship;
other commissioned officers answer:
Aye, ayes warrant officers and naval
cadets answer: mo. no." while en-
listed men answer: Hello"
Every officer and man on reaching
the upper deck salutes the national
flag, and this salute is returned by the
officer OF the watch on board.

THE MANGO.
the PAillDDa1e IslaaAs-
How 90 nat II.

Some people talce to olives, caviare,
and some complicated Cheese without
any preliminary training. by a sort Of
instinct They are so very few that
they serve only rs limited proof of the
doctrines Of heredity and atavism. The
mango Of the tropics falls in the
same class, fact which Gen. Merritt's
army of occupation is going to discover
for itself as soon as it begins the sol
dier's soulful investigation of the in
digenous commissariat of the Philip
pines
The mango is of the size of an apple
and something the shape of pear that
has turned somersault and has land
ed on the stem big end 20. Its color
is rich md dark green with blotch
of salmon on one side. 1t is impos-
sible TO bite into il as one would bite
into a pear for two reasons-the skin
is too tough and the stone is fully half
as large as the whole fruit. The only
way is TO nibble off the skin, for il is
too juicy TO be pared; gnaw the SKIN
of one side until a considerzt bic por-
ton is exposed of the red flesh Then
suck in fine juices and the meat 40
gether until the stone presents itself
The next feat is to get the stone and
tRp other side of the fruit into the
mouth Willie leaving the remainder of
thu skin fo1itside and clear o5 the meat.
fE this ufgraceful operation cnc speed
lily learns that the mango belongs TO
the natural order of ciingstones. The
remainder of the process is to eject
the stone, which is an uncomfortable
large mouthful. When one has eaten
all 1he maltJoes he cares to take at one
sitting it is necessary to take a bath
and charge the clothing in order to
get rid of the superabundance of juice
and pulp which will smear the face
and daub the apparel despite all pre-
cautions.
AS to the flavor of the mango, and no
one would bother with the extremely
sloppy fruit If it were not for real en-
joyment of the flavor, it is possible to
make trial trip. Set large cling
stone peach ta soak over night in di-
luted tllrpentine and the next morning
il viii satisfactorily suggest the first
taste of the mango. The smack of
turpentine and resin is most prorni-
nent in the skin, but it is quite marked
in the juice and pulp. After cultivat-
ing the taste most people consider the
mango the finest fruit of the tropics.
and recognize dozen varieties by the
varying strength OF the turpentine.
But no amount of cultivation of the
taste will ever avail to solve the real
tick of the mango, that is, to eat it
without needing a bath afterward.-

DO NOT FORGET
THREE IMPORTANT POINTS

FIRST-Go via St. Paul be-
cause the lines to that point will
afford you the very best service.
SECOND-See that the cou-
pom beyond St. Paul reads via
the Wisconsin Central because
that line makes close connections
with all the trans-cCntinental
lines entering the Union Depot
there and its service is frst-class
in every particular.
THIRD-For information call

What q wig DID.

"The-White-Man Who Scalps Him
self'-that was the name the Indians
gave Belly Dodd, a hunter and trapper,
whose one act so awed the savages that
he could travel alone across the plains
in safety. The one act is described in
The Old Santa Fe Trail" Belly Dodd's
head was as bald as billard-ball, and
he wore wig. One day, at Bent's Fort,
there being many Indians about, Relzy
thought he would have a bit of fun.
He walked around, eying the Indians
tiercely; then dashing in among them.
and shouting war-whoop, he pulled
off his wig and threw it down at the
feet of the awed Indians. They thought
he had jerked off his own scalp: every
one ran like scared jack-rabbit; and
for months not a redskin would go near
