SIGNAL SERVICE.
The Only Branch of the Army That Has
Not Been Numerically Reduced.
In Cuba and Porto Rico Telegraph Lines
Are Under Control of the Government
and in Bad Condtion-SiSnal
Corps at Work in Manila.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3L.-The signal
corps is the only branch of the army
that has not been reduced numerically
since the suspension of hoStilities.
Gen. A. w. Greedy, chief signal officer,
is now canvassing the situation with a
in his corps can best be mustered
out of the service. He is confronted
by a difficult problem. He said
Tuesday night that he scarcely could
spare any of his men, although
many of them were anxious, now that
the war is over, to leave the service.
In this country, Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines the services of the
signal corps are needed now as serious
ly as they were during actual hostili-
ties. In the United States all of the
camps have to be equipped with tele-
graphic and telephone facili-
ties and the changes that
are being made constantly
in the location of the camps add to the
work of the signal corps. In both
Cuba and Porto Rico the telegraph
lines are under government control
They are owned outright by the gov
eminent, and, of course, have to be
maintained and operated by the gov
eminent. Only one telegraph line in
Cuba is owned by a corporation. That
is about fifty miles in length running
from Havana to BatabanO on the
south coast of the island where it con-
meets with the cables of the West In
dies Submarine Telegraph Co., an
English corporation whose lines are
subsidized by the Spanish government.
In the province of Santiago the tele-
graph lines are now under control of
the United States
AS they were found to be in bad con-
dition it became necessary in order to
preserve to repair them. A full
company of men of the signal corps
and several officers were sent to
San tiago for this purpose. In
Porto Rico there are about five hun
dred miles of telegraph lines all
owned and operated by the Spanish
government In order to protect
them they will now have to be
operated by this government until a
decision shall have been reached as to
what shall be done with them. At
present, such of the lines as are under
control of the United States forces are
being maintained and operated by the
signal corps. In the Philippines the
situation is precisely the same as it is
in Cuba and Porto Rico. The
telegraph ines-such as are in
operation-are owned by the
Spanish government. The officers
and men of the signal corps are at
work at Manila. This was evidenced
by a cablegram received Tuesday
night by Gen. Greedy from one of his
officers in the Philippines informing
him that Geographic communication
had been opened between Manila and

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The an
nouncement has been made by the Sec
rotary OF war that every regiment of
regular troops whose stations before
the war were east of the Mississippi
river would be returned to their posts

would be much better situated in per-

ReYOIutLOnarY Schools.

Rev. George Charming wrote an
account of the school of his youth,
which he attended just after the
revolution. Girls and boys attend
ed together the primary school, and
sat on seats made of round blocks
of wood of various heights, which
were furnished by the parents.
Children bowed and kissed the
teachers hand on leaving the room.
The teaching of spelling was
peculiar. 1t was the last lesson of
the day. -.
The master gave out long word,
say multiplication, with blow of
his strap on the desk as a signal for
all to start together, and in chorus
the whole class spelled out the word
in syllables. The teachers ear was
so trained and acute that he at once
detected any misspelliug. If this
happened he demanded the name of
the scholar who made the mistake.
If there was any hesitancy or re-
fusal in ackno wledgment he kept
the whole class until, by repeated
trials of long words, accuracy was
obtained. The roar of the MANY
voices of the large school, all
pitched in different keys, could be
heard on summer days for a long
distance.-The Chautauquan,

solves the problem and makes the
disposition of the pictures an easy
matter. These screens come in
all sizes, holding from four to one
hundred or more photographs. They
are made of silk, satin or cedar
wood, and the panels fold after the
style of the ordinary screen. One
side is hand painted in water colors
and the other is entirely filed with
pockets for holding the pictures. A
folding screen is useful article in
bedroom, boudoir or living room,
and one covered with the faces of
ones friends or of interesting per-
sonages is particularly valuable and
interesting. The beauty about the
photograph screen is that if one gets
tired of the faces all that one has to
do is to turn them to the wall and
then rest the eye on the pastoral
scenes on the other side of the
screen.

Ia shion In Combs.

The question of combs is an i'm
portant one this year. The high
couture worn in the evening neces-
states hair ornament, and the in
genuity of the comb and hairpin
artist has been taxed to fulfill the
demand.
Beautiful designs are shown in
shell combs with steel ornaments.
These combs are small, and are
either high, medium high or long
and narrow, and composed of real
shell teeth and finely cut steel
steel that glitters in the gaslight
like so many small diamonds, aud
which cost in proportion to the cut
ting. Some combs are narrow
bands of Rhine stones or half
moons or circlets, to clasp the high
outstanding knot. Very few side
combs are shown any more. They
became too popular to be any longer
possible. Among the latest in shell
combs are the butterfly designs and
the Mercury wings. Both these
styles are appropriate to the high
couture.
The very newest fad in hairpins
is.a little ornament which will be
most gladly welcomed by the wo-
man of many stray locks-locks SC

or anything else will persuade &c

Trust the children. Never doubt them,
Build wall of love about them;
After sowing seeds of duty,
Trust them fog the flowers of beauty.
Trust the children. Don't suspect them
Let your confidence direct them,
At the hearth or in the wildwood
Meet them on the plane of childhood.
Trust the little ones. Remember
May is not like chill December
Let no words of rage or madness
Check their happy notes of gladness.
Trust the little ones. You guide them
And, above all, nee" deride them,
Should they trip, or should they blum
der,
Lest you snap loves cords asunder.
Trust the children. Let them treasure
Mothers faith in boundless measure,
Fathers love in them contiding;
Then no secrets they'll be hiding.
Trust the children just as He did
Who for "such" once sweetly pleaded.
Trust and guide, but never doubt them
Build wall of love about them.

GRANDMA's ANGEL.

Mamma said: "Little one, go and see
If grandmother's ready to come to tea"
i knew | mustn't disturb her, so
i stepped as gentle along, tiptoe,
And stood a moment to take peep
And there was grandmother fast asleep!
l knew it was time for her to wake;
l thought I'd give her little shake,
Or tap at her door or softly call;
But hadn't the heart for that at all
She looked so sweet and so quiet there,
Lying back in her old armchair,
With her dear white hair, and little
smile,
That means she is loving you all the
while.

1 knew she was dreaming of little boys
And girls who lived with her long ago,
And then went to heaven-she told me
so.
/ went up close, and didn't speak
one word, but gave her on her cheek
The softest bit of little kiss,
Just in whisper, and then said this:
"Grandmother, dear, it's time for tea"
She opened her eyes and looked at me,
And said: "Why, Pet, have just now
dreamed
OF a little angel who came and seemed
To kiss me lovingly on my face"

l took her hand, and we went to tea.

Blasts From the Rams Horn.

Nature makes no new laws.
The world is what you make it.
Thanksgiving is the specific for
anxiety.
The covetous man finds it uphill
work to be honest.
A new friend and an old enemy
will both bear watching.
A vote without conscience back of
it never represents manhood.
If Christ is to be the life of your
soul, He must become the soul of
your life.
The man who can hold his tongue
when he should has the devil at a
disadvantage.

The Stylish Fan.

The newest fan is a revival of the
old-time Vatican style, in small
sizes, The designs, painted on satin,
silk, gauze and honiton lace, are
among the more expensive, but even
those on the cheaper fans are often
exquisite. The fan has the scene
with the figures, and flower gardens,
green trees and tinted skies, so ia
miliar in Vatican style, painted on
the face, and the clouds, trees and
greensward reproduced on the back,
only emitting the figures and flower
beds. Then there is tiny Vatican
medallion, set in the midst of most
exquisite sprays of mignonette, clus-
tiers of violets, with here and there
daintily colored butterfly or a be-
spangled dragonfiy. An Empire fan
is shown of black, red, white or
dark green gauze, with lace figures
and designs over it, outlined with
tiny spangles which catch the re-
Election of the lights and throw out
iridescent rays as they are waved to
and fro.

The camel is beast of great strength
and endurance. Nothing hurts it until
the proverbial "last straw" is added to
its burden. The human digestive sys-
tenn is very much like a camel. 1t is
really astonishing how much abuse it
will stand. Sometimes, however, some
thing worse than usual will be eaten,
and will go through the stomach into
the bowels, and there it will stick
that's constipation. Nine-tenths of all
human sickness is due to constipation.
Some of the simplest symptoms are
coated tongue and foul breath, dizzi-
ness, heartburn, fiatulence, sallowness,
distress after eating, headaches and
lassitude. A little thing will cause con-

it. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a

The Lady is Always a Lady.

A lady may stand behind the
counter, be mistress in her own
home, or busy all day at a desk, but
no matter what her position in life
is, she never swerves, and uncon-
sciously she always impresses those
who are around her with the fact of
her gentleness and her simplicity.
The lady gains her strength not
from riches, not from her high posi-
ton, not from great learning, but
from good commOn-sense. Any one
of us may learn this If we will take
a good model and copy it. No lady
is free-and-easy in her manners.
She does not, however, go to the
other extreme and become stilted,
but she tends rather to quietness
and to a slight reserve, since, when
she takes friend, she proposes to
keep her. She does not become
intimate with you after twenty-four
hours acquaintance, put you in the
place of confidante in forty eight
hours, and in a weeks time tire Of
you. The lady knows you first
merely as an acquaintance, and
then, if she find you interesting, or
if she thinks she can any way be of
use to you, she permits you to come
gradually into her life, and between
you may grow up a friendship that
may last through life, even unto
death.-Ruth Ashmore in Ladies
Home Journal.

What to Do When Unexpected Guests Ar
rive at the Home.
The emergency shelf is now
part of almost every we'll regulated

ways expected and provided for. So
it might be better to speak of them
as unheralded rather than unex-
pected. I+
With the clean and palatable pre-
parations of eve1g kind now on the
market company need have no ter
rors for any woman who is not I'M
duly disturbed or abnormally nerv-
Gus. AT the same time the occa-
sions are rare when a visitor is un-
able to notify the hostess before
hand. That he or she so often neg
lects to do so is matter for regret In
the opinion of the one who writes
this article. Nobleness should con
strain in this respect as in many
others. dy."l .aiiH
Nevertheless, as people will come
unannounced, and as husbands will
bring home chums without tele-
graphing, the remedy for furry and
worry is simple: Have on D your
emergency shelf a few cans of peas
and tOmatoes-best brand-beef eX-
tract for boullion, ssweet corn, some
jars of tomatoes canned whole for
salads, a few bottles Of salad dress
ing, a package of self raising flour,
cans of salmon, corned beef, Goldfish,
the best brands of canned soup, pre-
serves, jellies, dried fruits and nuts,
olives, pickles, and in quite cold
weather the delicious little cream
cheeses in tintful coverings. OF
course the housewife will under
stand that 1t is wise to have more
than two or three of the latter on
hand at once. $500 f.IW n "
Then there are such toothsome
preparations of plum pudding, minc-
ed ham and tongue, boned turkey

chocolate are always acceptable to
fill a pretty little bonbon dish. .i
