4 PICTURE GALLERY BETWEEN
 COVERS.

Unmounted pictures, those pretty and interesting ones that sometimes come as supplements with the really good papers, the photographs that you do not care to frame and which are too large to put in an album, the en- cravings that have beel picked up here and there, and especially the pictures cut out of old but good guide books, may be arranged in a portfolio so sim pie that it can be handled by everybody without it's showing the usage given it. Buy an ordinary portfolio, a good sized one, with a strong back to it. Cover it with coarse gray linen, and paint on this in floral or architectural design the word Pictures"
 Let your pictures be loose, but mount those which are small or which have suffered in the least, and trim the edges of those that are ragged. It is necessary, in time, because they are handled great deal, to throw some oi the pictures away, but there are always fresh contributions. Two portfolios filled with these pictures will entertain a party of young people an entire even- ing, giving them subjects for cCnver- sation and opportunities for tste-a-tete so that they will go home pleased with themselves and with each O.her.-LOn- don Mail.

Last year On American railways one passenger was killed in accidents out of every 2,S27,4 ,474 passengers carried. That is to say, that you can take a train 2,827,47 times before, on the law of averages, your turn comes to be killed. You will have to travel 72,C93,- 963 miles on the cars before that time comes and 4,541,945 miles before you are injured. If you travel twenty miles every day for 300 days in the year, you can keep on at it for 75S years before your turn comes to be hurt and the railway employe figures it out that if there had been railways when our Sa- viour was born and you had begun to travel on the first day of the year A. D. 1. and had trayeled 100 miles every day of every month of every year since then, you would still have Gin this year, f898) nearly 3,OO0,O00 miles yet to trav- el before your turn came to be killed.

PRIVATE ABEL'S DEED.

h the height of the excitement Pri- vate Abel, of the Twelfth infantry, scrambled up on the roof of the fort with the colors of his regiment and waved it amidst a wild burst of cheer ing and enthusiasm. His captain was admiringly drawing my attention to this act when a couple of bullets clip ped the tin roof under the mans feet, and hastily furling the flag he fell fiat upon his face. This unrehearsed ef- feet raised such Q chorus of chaff and good natured laughter that khe piucky fellow leapeG to his feet again, threw Old Glory wide to the breeze, and waved it defantly until ordered to come down and not expose himself fur ther May he long live to wear the medal of honor that will doubtless be his reward!-From 'The Regulars at Fl Caney," by Captain A.

WAR AS AN ART.

The warfare of the unciViliZed stands no chance against the warfare which science has enabled the enlightened countries to wage. This was shown in the Chino-Japanese contest, but it is still better demonstrated by the result at Omdurman, where the dervishes suc- cumbed to the inevitable after being driven from pillar to post by an army
 much inferior in number but greatly superior in the arts it employed. The
 cunning of the savage was no match for the arts Of the English engineers emy's country against odds that must have seemsd appalling to any but an army which appreciated the strength
 of the weapons science had placed in it's hands. It took Great Britain over thirteen years to avalge the death cf
 Gordon, but through the arts of her ! trained commanders she was enabled | to accomplish what she might never | have done without them. Hannibal
 and Caesar ard Napoleon knew much 1 oDOuI ESuIIhS as U NdS COHuUClSu III their day, but as shrewd as they were
 as commanders and brave as wera their
 men it is doubtful if they would have stCod such show against an army 1 that would not hesitate to build com- plete railroad and make a river navi-
 gable for it's boats as it went along.

 able. It is the survival of the fittest

A BIGGER STANDING ARMY.

Congress should recognize at once that the regular army ought to be in creased to one hundred thousand men. Had the standing military force of the country, in April last, been four times greater than it was there would have been less friction and batter work in every direction.
 Only about 5000 men were used for Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine islands, the rest of the volunteer and regular forces remaining at home. It would have been money saved had the president been able to call upon a reg ular army of one hundred thousand men last April. The volunteers are not to be criticised in any way. Their organization and their work was mag nifcent, when it is remembered that less than four months elapsed from the beginning to the close Of the war.
 With a regular army, however, of sufficient size to perform the work de- handed perfect machine would have been set in operation at once. There would thus have been no complaints today of mistakes and blunders of un- skilled men.
 Let the regular army be increased to a size beftting the nation. A stand ing army four times the size of the one we had when the war with Spain be- gan does not mean that we are to have more war, but rather that we will be better prepared to prevent another war. It takes years of hard work to perfect regular army organization, hence it is surprising and astonishing to recall what was done with the volunteers in two months after they were enlisted. A substantial regular army is absolutely needed, just as much as a substantial naval force is needed. Congress should no longer indulge in chaese-paring when the army is to be considered

The sincerity of the Gazette's sup port of General Wilson may be es- timated from the following which ap- peared in that paper January 31. 1897:
 General Wilson is not making him. self particularly conspicuous in repub- 1ican wrangles just now, but if there is any republican pie to divide he will be among the first at the counter.

TRlBuTE TO WASHINGTON.
Masons Of the World VIII Observe
Anniversary of His Death.

Washington. November Is. The follow
ing committee of prominent Masons, ac-
companied by Senator Daniel of Virginia,
and Assistant Secretary Allen Of the navy
department., called at the White House
today and invited the President to take
part in the ceremonies which will mark
the centennial of the death of George
Washington: Ex-Mayor Kemper of
Alexandria. Va, Judge J. B. Senior Of
oksburg, and Col. M. NJ. Parker
of this city.
The address presented to the President
recites that the Grand Lodge of Masons
of Virginia, at the request of the Grand
Lodge of Colorado, have determined to
mark the centennial of the death of Pres,
ident Washington by suitable Masonic
ceremonies at Mount Vernon on Deem
Der IA, l899 In the services and cere-
monies the Grand lodge of Virginia will
have the cooperation Of the Grand Lodge
Of the District of Columbia and probably
all Of the Grand Lodges in the United
States and many OF those in foreign
lands The obssrvances at Mount Yer
non will consist as nearly as possible of q
duplication or reproduction OF the funeral
ceremonies of 1899. The lodge in which
Washington was Mason and the Wash
ington-Ale sandria lodge OF which he
WAS the first master, will take prominent
parts in the ceremonies. Mhsons from
all parts of the world are expected to lie
present. The lodges OF New Zealar d
have already indicated purpose to 81 d
delegations. 1t is expected that the czra
be continued in Washington
city. The President assured the commit
tee that be WIS in full sympathy with he
project and il nothing occurred to prA
vent he would gladly take such part in
the services as the committee might wish.

According to despatch to the Boston
Transcript the President is good deal
worried over the discovery that some en-
inent patriots who were anxious to free
Cuba had made arrangements to have
large blocks of Cuban bonds when issued
placsd to their credit with the expecta-
ton that eventually the republic would
break down and the United States have
to assume it's debt which would of course
send these bonds to par. The Presi Dent
fears, naturally, that if any of these gen.
tIemen happen to be members of the
House or Senate their votes ON legislative
measures in regard to Cuba may not be
controlled entirely by the interests of the
country.
