braska and Utah Regiments.
From the Japan Daily Herald.
For the last three days we have had in
Yokohama nearly 5000 American volun-
teers. who, having completed their term of
service in the Philippines, are now home
ward bound. They are the Nebraska ana
Utah regiments, on board the Hancock
and the Pennsylvania regiment, on board
the Senator. Many remarks have been
made about the general appearance of
these men, who, coming as they do from
hard fighting at the front against the FIJI
ipinos-and the Nebraska and Utah regi-
ments have done some of the severest
Nightingale not always present the spot
less purity of appearance usual in SOL
diers on parade. They are nearly all big
men. some, and in fact most of them
showing clear traces of the campaigning
and mental worry to which they have
been subjected in their sunburnt skins and
somewhat cadaverous cheeks. But one
thing is apparent TO everybody, and that
is tne exemplary behavior of this large
number of men on shore leave. few
thousand soldiers are a small army, and
nobody who has watched them can have
failed to remark, as they roam over the

toward japanese and foreigners alike and
the entire absence Of drunkenness among
their ranks The police, on whom the
brunt of keeping order devolves in the
first instance, report-both in Nagasaki
and here-that they have not had single
case OF refractory behavior or intoxication
to deal with. Large numbers of these vol
unteers have made the Grand Hotel their
headquarters and there they can be seen
at leisure. AL of them seem to have
money to burn" for they have bought
curios and souvenirs of Yokohama in large
quantities. And this Is not to be wonder
ed at. for aside from the fact that the
American soldier is the best paid soldier
in the world, we find that their ranks are
not made up OF vagabonds, who were out
of a Job in the first place, and took the
chance to get employment, but of intelli-
gent men, among whom are bankers, law
yers, merchants, farmers, mechanics, etc.
who left their homes when the country
called for volunteers to fight for its cause.
And these men have done honor to their
country and to their flag They have
shown that gentlemen can be fighters, and
are proving now that fighters can be gen.
tlemen.

CEMENT ROCK IN FLORIDA.
A Remarkable Deposit Found Near

NANCE

For many years it has been claimed by
scientists who have Travelled and prospect

mineral deposits, but lack of capital, in
sufficiency of transportation facilities and
scanty population have all contributed 10

has recently been conclusively shown,
however that in such underground de-
posits as phosphates and the purest grade
of natural cement, Florida is richer than
any part of the known world The phos-
phate mining industry in this state has
for several years attracted general atten-
ton, and is now being conducted on a busi-
ness-like basis, and proving a source of
very great revenue to the people engaged
in it. Florida ships about 100000 tons OF
phosphate rock annually, which brings
from $40 10 Sl4 per ton. But 1t is only

A Boston restaurant keeper was
standing in front of his establishment
grumbling at the hard times and la
nenting his fate. Although he could
zee people walking up and down the
streets, they all seemed to avoid him;
and even the visitors to the town, who
could not be supposed to know any
.hiug about his place, seemed to avoid
t instinctively. He meditated much
IN his misfortune, and racked his
Drains to devise some scheme that
would improve his business. At last
an idea occurred to him.
Going to a bronze-founder, he
ordered several peculiar tablets of the
Kind that are seen in different parts of
Boston on the fronts of houses to
commemorate the birthplace or board
ng-house of some n or another OF
he city's great men. Fastening these
;ablets on conspicuous parts OF his
building, he laid in a large supply of
satables, and awaited the result.
Now the great point about the tab
let's was that they were utterly unin-
,elligible-the inscriptions being half
obliterate Latin-but their effect was
electrical. Every true Bostonian
glanced at them, took it for granted
hat the restaurant was one of the
MANY with a historic flavor, and pat
,onized it at once. The strangers
that visited the city looked at the tab
let's hopelessly, then patronized the
house in the hope that they would
and some one who could explain the
strange inscriptions. -Harper's Round

There are 3516 saloons in Missouri.
The saloon was born OF evil, but it exists
because good men tolerate 1t.
Sixty thousand tons OF corks are used ioI

In January, 1887, there were in st. Louis
4067 saloons. This year finds that number
reduced by statutory regulation to 2O29, Il
decrease OF 203s. The Missouri law pro-
hibits the adulteration OF liquors.

Confirmed drunkards are shamsd into

Argentine Republic by being compelled to
sweep the streets for eight days each time
they may be arrested for intoxication
The saloon club may appear harmless,
but it is a deadly weapon.
Recent statistics OF alcoholism published
by the British Government show that there
has been an alarming increase in the num-
Der OF deaths from delirium tremens ana
other alcoholic diseases during the past
twenty years. The percentage OF victims
to population in 1896 as compared Win
1875 Is greater by fifty per cent. in men,
and by lI6 per cent. in women.
