The Costa Rican Counterfeiters.

For months the Costa Rcan counterfeiteas
have been issuing bogus notes of the govern
ment of the island until the amount, 1t Is
said, has reached $1,000 900. Inspectors Of
the secret service bureau were chiefly instru-
mental in bringing the malefactors to JUS
tice. The efficiency of the secret service is
undoubted, but it is by no mears secret,
but patent fact, that the service that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters does the weak,
nervous and dyspeptic is of genuine value.
There have been from time to time counter
feits of it, but the miniature note of hand on
the label, and the vignette of st. George and
the Dragon, are not successfully imitable.
This tonic absolutely prevents and remedies
malaria, rheumatism, liver complaints and
dYspepsia.

In the North American Review for May,
Captain James Parker, u. s. A, deals with
the question, ''Should Our Volunteers Be

be of advantage to the country on the out
break of war.

To Form a Battalion.

From The Owosso Press:
A plan is being considered by num-
ber of our citizens which may result in
the enrolment of battalion of volun-
teers in Shiawassee county whose services
will be offered to Uncle Sam in the event
of another call for troops. Patriotic feel
ing has been running high since the first
call was made, not only in Owosso but in
the villages throughout the county, and
while applications for commissions have
been sent to Gov. Pingree from all parts
OF the state, Shiawassee has not beer
lacking in her display of patriotism.
Col. E. P. Byerly, formerly on Gov.
Winans' staff and captain of cavalry dur
ing the late war, has been urged by some
of his friends to take charge of the enroll
ment of battalion -four companies) to
be enrolled in this county.
The action will be taken with the ex.
press understanding that the organiza-
ton has no military standing whatever
until accepted by the Us. government
in case it is needed. All that is to be
gained and the only object of the enroll
ment is to provide for an emergency. If
in the near future the president should
ask the governor of Michigan for three
regiments in addition to those already
furnished, then would the wisdom of the
proposed enrolment appear II there is
to be no further demand made on Michi-
gan for soldiers then surely no harm can
result from giving all able bodied citizens
an opportunity to signify their willingness
to serve their country if occasion requires.

Terms Used In the Army and Navy.

Just now when everybody is interested
in the movements of the army and navy,
the average reader is not unlikely to be-
come confused with the multiplicity of
terms and titles employed in the news
papers. He may make the mistake, for
instance, of thinking that a captain in the
navy is the equal in rank of a captain in
the infantry, or thata captain in the in
fantry is bigger man than a naval lieu
tenant. He may be interested to know
that there are two kinds of squadrons,
one which runs on land and one which
travels on the water; that a regiment of
artillery consists of II batteries of six
guns each, and that regiment of caval-
ry is composed of II troops, two or more
of which form squadson. The relative
rank of the officers of the army and navy
and the divisions in the formation OF
these two branches of the service are as
follows:
RELATIVE RANK OF THE OFFICERS OF THE
ARMY AND NAVY.
ARMY. NAVY.
General or Com. .-in-Chief Admiral.
Lieutenant-G General. Vice-Admiral.
Major General Rear Admiral.
Brigadier General. Commodore.
Colonel. Captain.
Lieutenant Colonel. Commander.
Major. Lieut.. Commander
Captain. Lieutenant
First Lieutenant Master.
Second Lieutenant Ensign.
DIVISIONS OF THE ARMY.
Squad-A subdivision of company,
commanded by sergeant or corporal.
Platoon-Half of company, COM
manded by lieutenant.
Company-Not more than 100 men,
commanded by captain.
Battalion-Four companies, command
ed by major.
Regiment Three battalions command
ed by colonel.
Brigade-Two or more regiments, COM
manded by brigadier general.
Division-Two or more brigades, COM
manded by major general.
Corps-Two or more divisions, COM
manded by lieutenant general.
DIVISIONS OF THE NAVY.
Squadron-A detachment of a fleet en-
ployed on any particular service.
Flotilla-A fleet of small vessels.
Fleet-A large number of war vessels
under one commander.
In view of the probable fact that much
of the present war news will come from
the sea, the terms used in naval affairs
are particularly novel interest to an in
land people.

FACTS ABOUT
 MONEY ORDERS Postmaster Hughes Answers Ex-
 press Agent Ham. BRANCH PAYS FOR ITSELF Postoffice Department Always Making Improvements in the Service in Alabama-More Money Spent
 Than Is Taken In.

Postmaster J. w. Hughes takes excep- ton to statement made by John H. Ham local agent of the Southern Express com pany, in an interview printed in The Age Herald of the 9th inst.
 MT. Ham was interviewed in regard to the resolution adopted by the Commercial club requesting the Southern Express company to pay the war revenue on express pack ages instead of the shipper. In the course of this interview, MT. Ham made the fol- lowing statement:
 "In the money order department the ex- press companies have been compelled to make such low rates in order to meet the rates established by the postoffice depart ment that there is an average of just one- half cent profit to us on each money ship ment we make. Still most people want us to pay for the two-cent stamp which the government requires on each such order. The reports of the postoffice department show that the money order department of the postoffice has always been dead loss, and could only be sustained by the profits made in some of the other departments Ti-e express company is not in the business for glory like the government seems to be-"
 The statement concerning the postoffice department at once attracted the attention of Postmaster Hughes, who immediately set to work to investigate 1t. He said con- cerning the matter:
 ''I have taken the trouble to personally investigate MT. Hams assertion and find that a statement of that kind has never appeared In any report by the department, that am able to find or hear of. As far as I can ascertain the money order depart ment has since the first appropriation was made to introduce it, been self-sustainng. It has invariably been the practice of the department wherever the receipts of the system showed that they were in excess of the expenditures to any considerable amount to at once reduce the fees, which have been reduced number of times since the organization of the department in 1884, We are now furnishing orders for some amounts cheaper than they can be ob- tained elsewhere, and believe that an- other reduction will be made during tho present fiscal year, and it is not the aim of the department to make the money or der business other than self-sustaining.
 ''The entire postoffice department is run in the interest of the people and is con- stantly being improved. My efforts in be- as.t oe the establishment of a free su- burban delivery system in this city was at once recognized by the officials at Washington as at least legitimate claim, and a special agent was sent to investi-
