THE NEW HONEYMOON.
Neither Bride Nor Groom Knows IN
Advance Where IL Is 10
he spent.

Honeymoons change with the fash
ion as well as other wedding customs.
Once upon time the turtle doves went
on a long trip, visiting cities that they
perhaps had never seen before or
never hoped to see again. For the last
five or six years a cruise on yacht or
a journey in private car alternated
with a sojourn at somebody's beauti+
full country place lent for the occa-
sion. But the very newest plan for
honeymoon sounds more interesting
than any of its predecessors. The
newly-made benedict tells his best
man how long a time he may absent
himself from town or business, gives
him check for q generous amount
and tells him to arrange the rest
Neither he nor the bride knows where
their honeymoon is to be passed, until
they are on the ship or train, as the
best man accompanies them to the sta
tion or wharf, checks their trunks and
hands the bridegroom the tickets only
at the last moment. When this is done
the happy man opens an envelope,
finds his route all laid out for him. and
is saved the annoyance of telegraphine
10 hotels and arranging minor details.
"rhe plan is an awfully good one in
some ways" said wife of five weeks
who. of course. speaks as IL she had
spent her life trying the different
sorts of wedding tours. "Flying about
sightseeing is absurd when you have
eyes and thoughts for one person only.
and staying in the country is apt 10
be dull and damp IL one is married in
April or very early in June. The one
disadvantage of the secret honeymoon
is that the poor bride does not know
what to wear. The best man ought 70
give her a hint as to whether the
Rangcley lakes or the Keys of Florida
are to be her destination. Our honey.
moon was spent up in Pike county, a
heaven on earth in the mountains. We
lived at n delightful club house and
spent our days rambling in the woods
and fishing. / had brought several
pretty thin frocks, but only my trav-
cling dress for day wear, as we were
only to remain away ten days. You
can imagine my plight when found
that fishing was the order of the day
/ sacrificed the travelling dress. II
was a beauty. and cost more than my
white ball dress, but one is bride only
once, and / had to enjoy my honey
moon. But if that tactless best mar
had only warned me that I would need
a short skirt and high boots, what q
weight of worry he would have spared

WHEN A BIG GUN GOES OFF.
Scientific aIen DO Not Know All That
Takes Place-Ways of Avoiding
the Awful shock.

Not one man i'm ten thousand has
clear idea of just what happens when
big cannon Is fired. The physical
manifestations are numerous. Even
professors OF chemistry and physics
are stpmpod when they want 20 dif-
iferentiate all the gases set Loose and
the peculiar effects they induce. The
puff OF whitish smoke, the fash of
fire, the dim image of the flying pro-
iectile, the roar and the recoil nre all
familiar. but back of these is n COM
plex mass Of phenomena most bewil-
dering to the mind OF any but an ar
tillery expert.
Fir3t, the cubes. disks. hexagons or
irregular Jumps of powder are chem
ically transformed into powerful. ex-
panding gas the instant firing takes
place. Then there are innumerable
iby-products that even chemistsdo not
understand.
The explosion of gunpowder is di-
vided into three distinct stages, called
the ignition, inflammation and COM
bustion. The ignition is the setting on
fire OF the first grain, while the in
flammntion is the spreading OF the
flame over the surface OF the powder
from the point Of ignition. Combus-
tion is the burning up Of each grain.
The value of gunpowder Is due to the
fact that when subjected 10 sufficient
heat Il becomes a as which expands
with frightful rapidity. The so-called
explosion that takes place when n
match is touched to gunpowder is
merely a chemical change, during
which there Is q sudden evolution Of
gasos from the original solid.
II has been calculated that ordinary
gunpowder on exploding expands
about 1000 times or fills a space this
much larger as a gas than when I'm a
solid form. When this chemical change
takes place in closed vessel the ex-
pansion may be made TO do work
like that of forcing a projectile along
the bore of the great gun or test tube
In the line of least resistance.
The hardest work a gunner is called
upon to do is TO stand the tremendous
shock. The forces exerted by these
gases in expanding seem to radiate IN
all directions from the cannon, as rip
Plies are caused by dropping a pebble
IN a pool OF still water. As a matter Of
fact, IL has been discovered that these
lines Of forces are exceedingly compli-
Gated affairs, and play very queer
pranks about the cannon. Asa result
few people know just which IS the
safest or the most dangerous position
FOR a gunner TO take beside his gun.
In the case of the great 13-inch guns on
our monitors, a position back of the
gun Is much easier than one nearer
the muzzle.-Philadelphia Times.

AIger,s Tour of Inspeotiop.

NEW YORK. Sept S-secretary AL
ger expects to leave Washington to-
night for Camp Meade, Pennsylvania.
He will go from there to Detroit, where
he will remain until a week from next
Monday. The secretary will then start
out on a tour Of all the southern camps.
He will be accompanied by Surgeon
General Sternberg. Quartermaster Cen
eral Ludington and Commissary Cen
eral Eagan. He expects to take about
ten days in the inspection of these
camps. He will visit Chickamauga. An
niston, Huntsville, Lexington and other
camps.
Secretary Alger is making this trip
partly for the purpose of gathering in
formation by which. in his proposed re-
organization of the army, mistakes of
the last three months may be avoided.
He wants to find the weak points and
place the blame.
On the return Of the secretary the re-
organization viii be begun, and each Of
ficer viii understand that he will be
under strict responsibility for the we'll

FASHIONS MIRROR
In which Are Reelected Some os the
New Notions in Ladies'
Dress.

Hats that turn abruptly off the face
are just now among the very fashion
able styles.
Many of the new coats have the re-
vers turned back and covered with
lace.
Extremely large white chenille dots
are seen on colored veilings.
Embroidered chiffons are being
much used for wells and hat trimmings.
Velvet collarettes are all the style.
They are as hot as rice pudding, but
women are so used TO being uncom.
Portable in their dress that they don't
notice little thing like velvet coll
larette in August weather. This ac.
cessory is only worn with white serge
dresses or those made of heavy wash
fabrics. Pale gray. turquoise blue and
old pink are the leading colors. and
each collarette has a narrow belt 20
match, both being embellished with
steel nail heads. The belts are fas-
tened with steel buckles.
Women's black straw hats may be
given a new lease Of life by revarnish-
ing them which really takes the place
OF dyeing, using some black sealing
wax pounded into small pieces, and
over which enough methylated spirits
TO dissolve IL has been poured; then
mix thoroughly and apply with a soft
brush 10 the hat, covering every cre,-
ice in the straw. Blue staw hats may
be froshened in the same manner, us
ing blue sealing wax.
Infants are wearing hosiery quite
as gay as that worn by their fashion
able fathers and mothers. Their little
half hose are brilliant in color and ex-
trcme in design, and, II is said, afford
the average youngster more amuse-
ment than the Understanding rattle.
Color, as a rule. is very artistically
considered this year, and even from
red, white and blue as key notes i'm
both dress and millinery, many pretty
variations are made. The genuine roy.
al red is a brilliant scarlet, but The
shade which appears conspicuously in
fashionable gowning is like n velvet.
petaled geranium blossom.
Sheer white lawn blouses will be
very fashionable this summer. They
may be in serpentine form with long
ends or follow the conventional lines
of the blouse, with fitted back anC
deep yoke, formed OF alternate rows
of fine linen lace insertion and strips
OF embroidered lawn. Other waists
eor morning wear are made of tn,
French zephyrs woven on Scotcl
looms. They come this year in exceed
ingly pretty patterns and colors, ans
the corded and tufted zephyrs are frs
choice.-Boston Budget.

Calling ExpIains.

Humanitarian reasons induced DR..
Gatling to invent his famous gun.
whose capacity of 1900 shots q minute
has revolutionized war. An unthink-
ing person said TO him about nine
years ago: "Why did you invent any
thing SO fearfully destructive of life,
doctor? Don't you feel like a muir
derer?" The inventor replied; when
I saw the Ohio and Indiana boys com
ing back from the war on stretchers,
wounded and emaciated, decided that
something ought to be devised to take
the places of some of them-some-
thing that would do the work of 30
men, so that the other 40 could remain
at home and toll. On that general plan
I set to work and while my gun may be
hard on the enemy, il is a saving on
our side and puts an end to long cam
Naigns."-N. Y. Press.

TO REoReANlzE THE ARMY.
1t VIII Consist OF Four Corps, and 1Oc, 900
Volunteers VIII BE Retained.

volunteers VIII ne retained
WASHINGTON. Sept. S.--The admin
lstration has decided TO make a radical
reorganization OF the combined regular
and volunteer forces of the country att
er the mastering out Of 100000 of the
volunteers. which is now In progress.
A conference on the subject was held
at the White House yesterday morning
between the president. Secretary Alger
and Adjutant General Corbin, but it is
impossible to complete the scheme OF
reorganization until 1t is known what
regiments of volunteers are to be mus
tered out. Only about 10000 men re-
main TO be designated for muster out TO
complete the total 900 which are TO
leave the service Immediately. and the
department viii be ready within a few
days to announce the plan Of reorgani-
cation.
The following statement was issued
from the war department last night:
I'm response TO the request OF the
governors Of some oe the states for the
muster out Of their entire volunteer
force the president replied in substance
as follows:
Answering your telegraphic request
for the muster out Of your regiments,
have already directed that l00, GOO OF the
volunteers shall be mustered out Of the
service. This is because, in my judg-
ment that number can be spared.
About 100000 will remain, as the gov
ernment now requires in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines a larger army
than the regular military establish
ment afforcs. The muster out. like the
muster in, Will be as nearly as possible
according TO the population Of the sew
eral states. The suggestion to muster
out all the volunteers from your state
cannot therefore be entertained. The
secretary OF war has already inquired
Of the governors Of the several states
what regiments in their judgment. can
with the least Inconvenience remain in
the service. Their advices viii. so far
as consistent with the public interests,
be complied with.
II is the intention OF the department
to organize four army corps in place Il
the seven maintained at present. The
Sixth corps was never fully organized
and at no time existed except on pa
per. When 10000 men leave the serv-
ice, there will be still less necessity for
seven corps, and the regiments left in
the service will not fiji more than foui
such great organizations OF troops. AS
far as possible these corps Will be or
! ganized according TO the locality In
which they are stationed. Thus there
viii probably be one corps for Porte
Rico. another for Cuba, a third for the
Philippines and a fourth for such other
places as may require the presence o
| troops

When Yon Meet Ln Japan.

Nothing is more amusing than to
watch two acquaintances saluting in
the streets of a japanese town. AS
they come in sight Of each other they
slacken their pace, and approach with
downcast eyes and averted face, as if
neither was worthy Of beholding the
other; then they bow low, so as to
bring the face on level with the knees,
on which the palms Of the hands are
pressed. A succession of Kissing sounds
is next made by drawing in the breath
between the closed teeth, inter
spersed with a series of complimentary
phrases uttered with great volubility
in sort Of undertoned falsetto, each
trying to outdo his friend in rapidity
and extravaganza of language, while
the palms are diligently rubbed At
last the climax is reached, and each
endeavors to give the precedence TO the
other. For some moments, perhaps for
full minute, the polite contest con-
tinues, then the ceremony abruptly
ends, as If the difficulty were capable
of none but a brisque solution, and
the two pass on hurriedly, with look
of extreme relief.-Brooklyn Citizen.
