Troops at Cnmphlser.
On the twenty-eighth5 of last month
the President OF the United States, for
the first time in thirty years, inspected
the condition and witnessed the ma
noeuvres OF an army prepared to take
the field against tho enemies Of the no
ton. Th!sS notable review took place
at Camp Alger, twelve miles from
Washington. where 1900 men OF the
National Guard of eight states have
becnsworn TO go Into the federal service
and are encamped, awaiting orders to
go to the front.
President Mckinley Is an old soldier,
and his Ions and active experience in
the civil war has taught him the
strength and weakness OF volunteer,
armies. The parade, therefore, was no
mere formal matter-it meant business.
No detail IN the appearance OF the men
and their equipment escaped the train
ed and watchful eve OF the President,
and he was constantly pointing out to
Secretary Alger, who stood beside him,
the visible evidences OF the lack of
preparation for active campaigning II
must be acknowledged that such de-
tects were extremely noticeable but the
President was assured that the equip
ment would be thoroughly completed
before another week was over.
From n spectacular point OF view the
parade was completely satisfactory,
and the march past. as Illustrated by n
picture in Harper's Weekly, was STIR
ring and impressive. The enthusiasm
and physical condition OF the soldiers
evoked much admiration from the
Presidents party, and all the military
authorities agreed that the hardy look
Ing men with proper accoutrements
would make as fine body Of troops as
could be wished for.
After the review, President Mckinley
made long tour OF inspection around
the camp, In order to satisfy himself
and careful observation. Every regl-
ment greeted him with hearty cheers
and officers and prlvates were unanl-
nous In theiri satisfaction over his visit.
Indeed the entire nation is to be con-
graduated that Its present executive Is

credulous people to believe that lmme-

DELIVERING LETTERS ON STILLS.
post,nen who Are Compelled to Adopt
This Method Of Locomction.

Pcst,nen who Are Compelled to ADOPT
This Method Of Locomotion.
The modern postman has been
mounted on q bicycle. has been given
y horse to ride; Sometimes g horse
draws him about, but the queetest Of
all methods Of locomotion of postmen
is that which is utilized in France,
where men Of letters-and papers
move about on stills.
It is not meant that al the French
postmen make their rounds in this
fashion. Only those who serve the
country and the postofice officials
through the great stretch of land that
lies between Bordeaux and Baycnne
are so distinguished. All this land is
covered by q growth Of gorse and
broom which makes walking a very diff
suit matter. The postmen, however,
have found that there is way to rer-
der it much easier for themselves and
that is by taking stilts.
To walk about in this fashion is not
as easy as walking on ones feet il the
ordinary way. The stilts are fastened
to the feet Of the postmen, AID ale not
unlike those with which the small boy
makes annual detours. To stand still
any length of time on them is of course
impossible without support. and SO g
pole is carried, in much the same way
that the yeoman once lugged about his
quarter staff. On this pole the post
man leans when he wishes to rest, and
| in this way manages to get along very
comfortably
There is another proposition to face
when winter comes, as Of necessity
the stills sink deeply into the snow,
and this makes walking a very diff
! cult matter. This the genius Of the
postman has proved sufficient to over
come. He accomplishes his under
taking with the aid of a thin wooden
skate, with which he skins along the
surface Of the snow and ice without
sinking at all. It is by no means an
easy matter to balance ones self tied
to the knees What then must be the
effort Of skating on stills?
This French postman makes re
markable speed as he shuf3es and
glides about from one place to anoth-
er. Oftentimes the route which one
man has to travel on foot in this fash
ion includes more territory than
Greater New York possesses. The
skates, therefore, instead Of being a
hindrance and danger, really make
this work easier, and the postman IN
the Landes, as this queer tract OF
country is called. rejoices at the COM
ing Of winter, for he realizes that his
task will become a considerable per-
centage lighter.
Clad in his capote, OF sheepskln
cloak, he scurries about over the coun-
try until he has been everywhere that
his duty calls him. Sometimes post
men Of a neighboring territory meet
him and challenge his Aeetness, the
result being tourney.
Many of the postmen who follow
this method Of transportation are said
to make as good time as most people
would with q horse and buggy.
