The Type of the American Soldier

Seeing Frederic Remington in the
midst of a group Of army officers at the
hotel tonight. was led to wonder whether
it is not a certain artistic pref
udice on Mr.. Remington's part that leads
him to draw chiefly men and officers of a
certain type. None Of the men about him
were his favorite type. Most of them
were fair young Americans, with rather
round faces of pleasing guise. If Mr..
Remington were, for instance, to draw
Gen. Shafter, he would have to draw a
stout, elderly gentleman Of very gentle
and benevolent mien, and If he were to
draw Gen. Wade he would have to depict
a goodlooking and keen-eyed State street
merchant, whose aspect suggested much
force of character, but no martial rough
ness whatever. Many of the young Of
f1cers are not to be distinguished in their
|outward aspect, from the typical Harvard
senior, If we may imagine the typical Har-
ward senior dressed in the usually I'M
picturesque costume of an officer Of the
regular army on field service. However,
the frontier type, such as Mr.. Reming-
ton delights in undoubtedly exists, and is
found here in Tampa in both officers and
men. A gray old trooper, who walked
with message for an officer into the ho-
tel as the young officers buzzed about
the artist, looked as if he. had at that
moment walked out of one of Remington s
pictures, and officers of the same some
what angular frontier type may be found,
too, in considerable numbers.-Tampa

The oldest Hobby in the World


Probably the strangest hobby in the
world is that of Henry Woodbridge of May
field, KY, who devotes all his money and
time to developing his plot in the local
cemetery in way that is as grotesque as
it is, happily, original His first modest
and laudable effort was to erect plain
monument to mark the family resting
place. Not satisfied with this, however,
he added to 1t white marble shaft, bear
ing on it's face relief presentment of him.
self on horseback.
Having thus struck the personal note,
'Uncle Henry" as he is Familiarity called,
had a life-sized statue of himself erected
at a cost of 92OO. He then introduced
statues of his mother and eldest brother,
to be followed shortly by similar statues
in Indiana limestone of a favorite niece
and of a young girl who had brought him
flowers during an illness.
His next ambition was to see himself on
horseback, and the family gathering was
augmented by a life-size statue of "Uncle
Henry" on his favorite horse. Then fol-
lowed presentments in stone of his favor

deer; another of fox pursued by his fox
hound, Bob" and a marble sarcophagus,
with a carved representation of his favor

The latest additions have been statues

poses and the most prosaic Of dress. AS

Pressure of the Sea

There are spots in the ocean where the
water is five miles deep. If it is true that
the pressure of the water on any body in
the water is one pound to the square inch
for every two feet of the depth anything
at the bottom of one of the "five-mile
holes would have a pressure about it of
1920 feet to every square inch. There is
nothing of human manufacture that would
resist such pressure. That 1t EXISTS there
is no doubt. 1t Is known that the pressure
on a well-corked glass bottle at the depth
of 300 feet Is so great that the water will
force it's way through the pores of the
glass; 1t is also said that pieces of wood
have been weighted and sunk in the sea
to such a depth that the tissues have
become so condensed that the wood has
lost it's buoyancy and would never float
again. 1t could not be even made to burn
when dry.

At the outbreak of the Revolutionary
war the American colonies had no navy.
1t was quite impossible for them to form a
navy that could contend with that of Eng
land, which was the best in the world.
But the Americans of that time were a
seacoast people, who did nearly all their
trading and travelling by water. They
quickly fitted up some ships that did good
execution. At the outbreak of the war
the American army lacked powder arms
and clothing. While powder factories
were building, daring American seamen,
north and south, put to sea and captured
supplies of powder from British ships. In
1I76, ten thousand suits of winter uniform,
on their way to Burgoyne's army, were
captured. These were sent to clothe des-
titute American soldiers.

The American Spirit

The accounts which special dispatches,
newspaper exchanges, and the men them

some of the towns of this state sent their
volunteers to the front are affecting. There

the title of 1.-THE Cradle of the Confed-
eracy," 1t suspended business wholly, and
its people gathered in one body at the rail-
road station to cheer on it's company of vol
unteers In blue, fifteen in excess of the
quota; godspeeds were given by Confed-
crate veterans, who dwelt with fervor on
the success of the national arms at Manila
and strong men wept with the women as
the finest of the towns young citizenship
embarked for the war. And Chester,
which with bands and flags and cheers kept
enthusiasm at white heat for days while
recruits were enrolled to treble the numbers
of the Lee light infantry-mark the name!
for the campaign for American honor;
and kept open house for them all, and
smothered them with flowers, and assem-
bled to bid them farewell more than the
population of the town. These are examples
only of the spirit of South Carolina. Never
