THE SECRETARY OF WAR.

The persistent gossip going to show
that il is a politician rather than a
soldier at the head OF the war depart
ment and, besides, man OF strong
personal prejudices OF kind to mar
row his views, TO the detriment OF the
work of the army. is bound to find be-
levers and even give concern to the
great majority OF patriotic citizens who
feel that at a time like this everything
should be done to avoid unseemly con-
troversy, however strongly we might
be moved TO such indulgence In piping
times OF peace.
But. go far Secretary Alger has been
immune" from the attacks Of parti-
sans. or nearly so. No one wants to
believe the ugly gossip. no one feels
like having such questions forced. And
vet there are indications that II he does
not take care there is likely to be a
mighty fine row going on, with Aiger
somewhere lost in the mess. When the
public got IL into It's head that Alger
was disposed to snub Merritt TO pay
off for an old score from the civil war,
a hot time was almost created then
But the people were too much en-
crossed with greater subjects and
were heartily glad To have the matter
patched up and relieve them OF tn,
bother of making a fuss. Now there
are rumors az to the sort Of feeling
| Alger has against Miles. Miles Is 9
| good deal OF a popular idol and the
people have an even greater interest In
his fortunes than they had for Mer
ritt.
In all this petty and irritating bust
ness, as we'll as with relation to tn
| more important complaints agains
his department having to do with tn
equipment and supplying of our sol
diers the gossip may be doing Secre
tary Alger great injustice. Peopl
and press are too busy to take tn
trouble to go to the root OF such mat
ters unless they become very lout
But II would seem that Alger Nigh
recall to advantage the remark of an
other secretary of wnr in time 9
like consideration to the effect that
was not enough to be right but neces
sary to seem to be right.

Corean Geomancers.

The Influence of the geomaneers ex-
tends from the King to his humblest
subjects, and illustrates the cunning
and simplicity which are combined In
the Corean character. These profess
slonal oracles are consulted on all occa-
sions by all sorts of people. The King
lever thinks of doing anything without
first asking their opinion. They are
more important to him than legal ad-
visers are to railways and other eorpor-
atoms that employ them, and they are
attached to all the departments of the
government. At the same time they are
VIGOROUSLY corrupt, and their advice
Is always Influenced by the payment OF
money.
IL any one desires to obtain a favor
from the King he usually %endeavors To
secure the good offices Of the geomancer
who is likely TO be consulted, and the
amount Of the bride corresponds to the
Importance OF the matter. While the
geomancer pretends to consult the splr
Its and observe the movements of the
stars. his client knows that 1t is the
money that governs his action. Never
theless, when the client IS required to
perform some official act, he consults
the same old humbug, who has been
brlbed by some II else to influence
his decision, and he is perfectly aware
of the fact.-Chautauquan.

Perfectly Practical.

An odd and convenient custom exists
In Genoa. Many Of the well-to-do peo-
ple as we'll as those In moderate cir
cumstances do rot own either horses
or coaches: they own only an interest
I'm them. Four or five or a hnlf-dozen
great families club together and buy a
coach and horses. then they arrange
among themselves the days the differ
emf families will use 1t. Thus n fam-
ily uses the coach on Mondays, another
on Tuesdays and a third on Wednes-
days. so that an establishment that
would be impossible for one family be-
comes perfectly practical when the cost
Is divided among five or six. Each fam
iv has "A set of doors for the coach with
their own coat-of-arms on the panels,
which are changed according to the
family which Is going TO use the coach.
The builders of these vehicles seldom
think of building n coach without five
or six sets of doors, and arrangements
are made so that they are very easily
changed.

Marble Ponds of Persia.

burial places of Persia and In their
grandest edihces. consists Of retrlied
water of ponds In certain partA OF the
country. This petrlfactlon ray be
traced from its commencement to its
termination; In n part the water is
clear. in n second 1t appears thicker
and s%tagnant. In a third quite black.
and In its last stage 1t Is white like
frost. When the operation Is complete
a stone thrown on Its surface makes no
impression, and one may walk over II
without wetting ones shoes. Tee sub
stance thus produced Is brittle and
transparent, and sometimes richly
striped with red, green and copper col
or. So much Is this marble, which may
be cut into large slabs, looked upon as a
luxury that none but the king, his sons
and persons specially privileged are
permitted to take 1t.
