The uartranl, Monument.

The family of General Hartranft has
sent the following protest against the
proposed inscriptions on the monument
to be erected to him in Harrisburg:
"We regard the proposed Inscriptions
as Objectionable for several reasons:
First, the inscription proposed for tho
north side, Hero of Fort Stedman, is
theatrical and not at all in keeping
with the simplicity of the general. Sec
ondly, the inscription on the south side,
Commander of the Third Division,
Ninth Army, is partial and will IN
doubtedly provoke criticism from COM
rades of other organizations which the
general commanded. Thirdly, the two
inscriptions together are misleading
and seem to imply that the services of
the general were confined to one battle
and the term of service of ono Of the later
organizations Of the war Good taste
would dictate that the inscription Oh
the pedestal of the statue of man emf
nent enough to be so hcnored should not
attempt to give history, partial or
more or less complete, of his life, but
should, in as simple manner as posi-
BILE, state who he was and the epoch in
which he lived. Our desire is that the
pedestal should contain the simple
name, John Frederick Hartranft. 1880

The Cache In ALASKA.

The settlements along the Yukon are
few and far between and consist, for
the most part, OF the same elements.
There are the company store; the huts
and tents of the natives; the crowd of
bowling dogs; salmon hanging in red
strips, FURNISHED with copper tinges in
the sun; little tots Of children; chatter
ing women Offering baskets moccasins
and trinkets for sale, and here and there
perhaps squad of uniformed children,
marking the work of some mission
good looking, clean looking children,
but, whether Christianized or not,
spoiled for living like natives again.
The problem is, What is to become Of
them: Along the banks are occasionally
met the rude huts and tents of small
parties Of Indians come hither to cut
wood for the boats or to fish, but, how
ever simple the habitation, it must al
ways have the cache, or storehouse,
propped upon posts to keep the supplies
out CT reach OF the dogs, for these dogs
can bite through a tin can and almost
climb a creased pole in search of food.
The cache should have place on the
coat Of arms of Alaska. 1t is universal.

The expression He's a lobster, :"
which has now become so general in
colloquial use about town as to convey
a clear cut message Of contempt or de-

to it's mode of progression Horses
which had been generally defeated were
lobster horses and as this colloquial ex-
preston got to be more general in use
on the race tracks it began to be applied
not only to horses, but to men and

a VETERAN POKER GAME.
The Anto Is One Match and the Limit 20
Five, but tho Play Is Fierce.

The Antc Is One Match and the Limit 90
Five, but tho Play Is Fierce.
Card playing is the principal amuse-
ment of the inmates of the Michigan
Soldiers home during the winter
months, when the inclemency of the
weather keeps the veterans indoors.
Two largo rooms arc fitted up with ia
bles, and these tables are constantly sur
rounded with old soldiers, who spend
most of their time not devoted to eating
or sleeping in play. The favorite game
is pedro, and then come old sledge, six
ty-six and cribbage and occasionally
whist. A few of the sporty veterans,
however, are fond of poker and have a
table of their own in the corner OF the
room. Gambling for money is strictly
forbidden under the rules of the institu-
tion, and so matches are used. Each
player goes into the game with box of
common red headed matches that sells
for cent and contains 200 matches.
The ante is one match, and it takes two
to stay, and the limit is five matches,
and the veterans can work themselves
into as much excitement over these
stakes as though every match was
blue chip for 500. The hands are scru-
tinized with just the same care, the
cards are pinched with the same degree
of caution, and pairs and fulls and
Pushes are sized up as earnestly as in
game for the real stuff 1t is study to
watch the veterans as they calculate
whether the other fellow is blufing or
not and cautiously shove match or
possibly two of them into the center of
the table when the conclusion is reached
that the hand is good for it. Occasional
ly jack pot is opened with 10 or Is
matches in it, and as much interest is
manifested in it as though it contained
years income in hard cash.
The poker table has "kitty," and
into it is dropped match on every win
ming hand and two matches for every
jack pot. The "kitty" matches are the
common property of all the players, but
can be used only for the lighting of the
ever going pipes of the players. The
"kitty" in timo gets all the matches,
and as one player after another loses
his entire pile to the moro fortunate
they bring new boxes into the game to
keep it going. The most lucky player
in the little group of poker devotees
has nearly box of matches yet loft Of
his original pile, while the most unfor-
tunate has bought two additional boxes
besides the box he went in on. The
game began the latter part Of Septem-
Ter and will continue until spring opens
in April -Grard Rapids Letter in New

Lirinsstone,s Old Coat.

The Charterhouse school contains O
relic of Livingstone, presented to the
institution by Bishop Naples. The relic
is the old, tattered coat given by Liv-

ney to one of his native followers. This
native gave it, many years after, to
Bishop Naples. The bishop gave all ac-
count of the incident. Tie native Afri

Some Details of Interest Regarding Its
Construction and Use.
The stroller along the wharfs who
should sec rising from tho smokestack
of big steamer small and at the start
perfectly defined column Of smoke which
seemed to come from q small smoke
pipe within tho big one might wonder
if the great smokestack was filled with
smaller stacks, one for each boiler. AS
q matter of fact it is not SO filled, but
there is within it smaller smoke pipe
called the donkey stack. which is the
chimney for the boiler of the donkey ell
CINE, which is used when the vessel is
in port in hosting cargo in and out. 1t
is from this pipe that the small column
of smoke is seen to issue.
The donkey stack is placed sometimes
against the forward inner side of the big
stack, sometimes against the after inner
side. 1t may be complete pipe, or it
may be formed of iron in the shape of
half pipe, with fanges riveted to the
main pipe.
If single one of the large boilers
were used, as it might be when the ship
is in port, it might be connected with
the donkey stack, but in their regular
and common arrangement and use the
uptakes of all these boilers run into the
great chimney, whose whole interior is
open, except for the braces running
across it to strengthen and support it.
The chimneys of all large steamships,
however, and of many other steam YES
sells as we'll are built double, with an
inner and all outer shell, with space
between varying according to the size
of the vessel. 1t may be from five to ten
inches. The primary purpose of this
chamber around the smollestack is to
afford ventilation for the engine room
and the stokehole. In at least one mod
ern passenger ship ventilating pipes
from the passenger quarters have been
carried to these chambers. Incidentally
the space between the shells helps tc
keep the stack slightly, for thus con-
structed the chimney is cooler on the
outside than it would otherwise be, and
SO it holds paint the better.-New York

Keeping Fish Alive.

Some time ago had the pleasure OF
visiting Fleusburg, a seaport town Oh
the east coast of Sleswick- Holstein,
and was much struck with the system
there observed of bringing to port fish
which was intended for immediate con-
sumption.
Instead of packing the fish in the
hold of the vessel the fishermen use fat,
oblong boxes drilled with holes to allow
free access of water, and into these the
live fish are placed as soon as caught
and are towed under water.
By this means the fish are kept alive
until the harbor is reached, and they
Gre then taken out of the boxes and sold
alive on the quay, SO that there can be
no question as to their absolute fresh
ness.-Strand Magazine.
