Something had gone wrong with some
simple part of a stationary engine, and
the stoker could not fix it. After spend
ing day or two on it, he was forced to
ask the aid of a more competent work
man. He failed also, and some one sug
gested the employment of local celeb
brity, sort of tinker at any mechani-
cal job. There is generally one in every
locality. He gave two or three raps with
his hammer, and touched up rod or
two, when the pounding or whatever
allied the machine ceased When asked
to make out his bill, it read as follows;

OFFICERS OF EXPERIENCES

The personnel Of the troops Michi-
gan is preparing for the field will COM
pare favorably with that of any SINH

all young. enthusiastic and patriotic
They are in charge of officers of years
of experience, who command their con-

Brigadier General Frank B. Lyon is a
native Of Illinois, and was born in 1859
At an early age he removed to the up
per peninsula of Michigan. where he
has ever since resided He was a char
ter member Of the Calumet Light
Guard, which was organized as an inde-
pendent company in 1880. and with IL
was mustered into service Of the state
in August 1881. He was secretary and
treasurer of the company for several
years, and filled the successive grades
Of ncn commissioned offices. He was
elected a second lieutenant, and later
first lieutenant. and in the latter capac-
ity commanded the company at two an
nual encampments. In 1888 he was pro-
NOTED from this office to that of major
of the Third regiment The following
spring he was elected lieutenant colonel,
and commanded the Third regiment AT
camp curing lOlOnel 1fdWIcy absence
in Europe.
Upon the reorganization of the Fifth
infantry in 1890 he was unanimously
chosen colonel Under his energetic
management this, the youngest regi-
ment in the brigade rapidly rose to
rank as one of the best I'm the Michigan
National Guard, being twice favorably
mentioned in succeeding years by the
inspector appointed by the secretary of
war TO observe the discipline of the
troops at the annual encampment.
General Lyon was chairman of the
committee on military affairs of the
lower house of the legislature in 1893
He introduced and was instrumental
in passing at that session a bill chang
ing the military law so as to increase
the per capita tax for the support of the
state troops. giving an additional major
to each regiment. organizing the pres
ent battalion system, giving term OF
three years TO all line officers, and
changing the name of the state troops
to the Michigan National Guard.
Under Colonel Lyon the Fifth regi-
ment saw a months service at Iron
wood during the miners strike of 1895.

OUTBURsT OF PATRIOTISM.
Farewell Given the Boys when They
started for Camp.


started for Camp
The departure Of the National Guard
for Island Lake was the occasion for
an unparalleled outburst Of patriotism
on the part of the people of Michigan
Every company was given a farewell
which must have made a lasting inn
preston upon the soldiers. At each
city where a company was located
there was most enthusiastic demon
stration Al business was suspended,
the schools were closed and practically
the entire population. augmented by the
population for miles around poured out
TO say farewell To the departing SOL
diers. In every instance the farewell
was marked by an impressiveness that
was evidence that everyone keenly ap-
preciated the gravity of the situation
Seriousness pervaded all the exercises
and while the soldiers were given a
hearty Godspeed there was a lack of
boisterousness and hiarity. At every
stop along the route 20 the camp the
soldiers were greeted by thousands of
citizens, who cheered them on their
way
An idea Of the patriotic response
made to the governors camp order may
be found in the fact that the muster
roll completed the second day after the
encampment commenced showed 34S1
men present. According 20 the report
of Captain Cornelius Gardener. United
states inspector, made TO the war de-
partment last October. the authorized
strength of the Michigan National
Guard is 3,429 men. and the organized
strength 1856 men. No sooner had the
necessity for men become apparent than
every company in the brigade was over
whelmed with applications for enlist
ment, and in less than twenty four
hours each was recruited up to it's full
authorized strength, and with but a lit
tie effort each could have taken to

CHINESE ECONOMY,

No people in the world can exceed
the Chinese in the matter of economy.
They waste nothing. The old cast-of
account book of the merchant is cut
into pieces and oiled to serve, instead
of glass, in windows or lanterns A
coolie who has a six hours march with
a haevy burden will return to his point
of departure without having broken
his fast, in order to save the two cents
his breakE,s would have cost away
from home. Nothing is more curious
than to see them eat, although, with
their famous chop-sticks, they do not
perform all the wonderful feats gener-
ally supposed. Everything is served
them in bowls or saucers, and with the
chopsticks they raise the pieces of
meat or fish to the mouth, with suf-
ficent grace. Each one has bowl of
rice, which he holds near his lips, and
with the aid of the chopsticks he
pushes the contents into his mouth. 1t
is curious to see them pick up with
their chops icks the grains of rice that
fall on the ground. The children are
taught this art from their earliest
years nothing must be lost, not even
the smallest grain.

THENEW WSTYLEOF WRITING

\ new fashion in writing is coming
in, and enthusiasts who believe in it
predict that the next generation will
write vertically instead of sloping their
letters in the way with which we are
familiar 1t is claimed for the new
style that it can be more easily read,
more quickly written. and is less of 4
tax on the eyesight than the Old. 1t
is also claimed that it is the natural
method. But the strongest argument
for its use is the position that children
are often required to take in the school
room when writing in order to give
their letters the proper slant The
usual posi- ton is to sit with one side to
the desk, which is usually so high that
it raises one shoulder above the other,
and with the head turned so as to bring
the eyes an equal distance from the
work Unless the eyes are so turned
there is tendency to shorten The sight
of one eye and lenethcn hat of the
other. \ London publisher has brought
