The army beei investigation, as far as il
has progressed, leaves no doubt in the un'
prejndiced mind that the refrigerated and
the so called camel roast beef supplied tc
the American troops in the field under con.
tracts entered into between the War De.
partment and certain Western meat pack
ing establishments was unfit for consump-
ton, and must be regarded as the cause of
much of the sickness which prevailed.

AM EIectrical Contribution Box.

A certain Chicago church has adopted
an electrical system of taking up collec-
tions. At a certain crisis in the service
the preacher touches the button, and the
parishoner sometimes fails to do the rest,
no circulating and observant deacon
being at hand to take note of his tribute.
Little baskets run on wires past each
pew in the tabernacle, the collections
converging to a central treasury under
the immediate eye of the officiating
divine. 1t is thus made certain that no
furtive percentages are distracted by
any thrifty collector while the box is
going round. 1t is not surmised that
the loss from this cause has erewhile been
considerable, still it is evident that the
theory Of the new process is that it is
best to be on the safe side. There are as
yet no signs of its general adoption in
Chicago churches, but the single expert
ment is interesting. II it shows an
increase in the church revenues it will be
an argument for it's introduction else
where; if diminution the plant will
probably be taken out some time before
or after the Epiphany and sold for old
wire. In the latter case not Keely's
motor will be more discredited. The
result will be awaited with composure,
but at the same time with curiosity, not
only in church circles, but to a certain
degree in those of the ungodly as we'll,

features of the experiment presents
aspects of interest New York Tribune.

For the Welfare of the Republic.

Unlike the Europeans, Americans in
the past have paid little or no attention
to diplomacy as profession. 1t has been
left too much in the control of sordid
politicians and spoilsmen. Isolated and
independent, this government hitherto
has not participated in the actual prob
lens of world-building but it seems
probable now that the mighty issues
growing out of the Spanish-American
war will give us voice in International
councils. Henceforth the foreign policy
of the United States will be closer and
more technically watched by other ma
tions than it has ever been in the past.
So much the more essential then is it for
us to move forward in the right direc-
ton toward our much-vaunted mani
fest destiny" And the surest and best
way to obtain competent men to repre-
sent this nation abroad as ambassadors,
ministers and consuls, is to give them a
diplomatic education. This can be
gained only in an institution founded ex-
pressly for the purpose. Is not this a
suggestion worthy the consideration of
the American congress, of the chief exec
utive and his cabinet, of the public press,
of the pulpit; in short, OF all citizens who
have at heart the future welfare of this
republic ?-[From THE New Diplomacy"

view" for March.

UP and away like the dew of the morning,

Only remembered by what have done.
My name and my place and my tomb all
The brief race of time we'll and patiently

So let me pass away peacefully, silently.
Only remembered by what have done.
Gladly away from this toll would hasten
Up to the crown that for me has been won,
Unthought of by man in rewards or In praises
Only remembered by what have done.
Yes, like the fragrance that wanders In dark
When the flowers that 1t came from are
closed up and gone.
So would be to this worlds weary dwellers
Only remembered by what have done.
Needs there the praise of the love-written
The name and the epitaph graved on the

The things we have lived for, let them be our
story,
We ourselves but remembered by what we

Bibles in Our New Possessions

| Rev. l.. II. Elliot, secretary of the YER
mont Bible Society, has sent the GALE
DOMAIN an appeal for money to distribute
Bibles in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines. Any contributions to this cause
may be left at the CALIFORNIAN Office and
they will be promptly forwarded to Mr..
Elliot. His letter is as follows:
Last year the people OF this country
freely gave not only of their money, but
their fathers, sons and brothers to deliver
the Inhabitants of Cuba and Porto Rico
from the oppression of the Spanish yoke.
Complete victory was secured. Now the
people of those islands are beginning to
feel the need of our Christian education
and civilization. Wecertainly know that
they need them for their greatest pros
perity. Our life and success as nation
I have rested on the Bible. Said Hon. Will
liam H. Seward, 81 know not whether it
were possible for republic to exist with
out the word Of God; the experiment
never was tried, but do know that this
| nation would never have come into exist
ence had it not been for the Bible"
Said President Grant, ITO the Bible
we are indebted Tor all progress made in
true civilization and to the Bible must we
ever look as our guide in the future"
The Bible is equally desirable for the
civilization OF those islands. The Ameri-
can Bible Society formerly had represent
atives in Cuba distributing Bibles, but
months ago, they were driven out. The
society has or will soon have workers
again in the field Their agent is now in
Porto Rico for the purpose OF supplying
the people OF that island with the word
of Cod
That society has also sent its agent to
the Philippine islands to Inquirer regard
to the present need OF Bible work there
and the encouragement that would be
given to such work by those now in au-
thoritv on those islands. In this report
this agent sets forth in vivid manner
the greatness OF the need and urges the
society to make no delay in entering upon
the work. He also found the officers
of our army and navy favorably disposed
toward the work. General Otis, the
military and civil governor, said, There
can be no doubt OF the great need OF
your work" He is ready to welcome
the American Bible Society and to give
it any help in his power. Admiral Dewey
said he was anxious for the churches
and the Bible Society to come in and be-
gin work at once. They could not come
too soon.
The American Bible Society has already
made an appropriation for this field and
It's representative will soon be at work.
But the Bible Society is straiteued for
funds and so cannot push forward this
work in any of these fields as rapidly as
the urgency demands. 1t greatly needs
funds tor these very interesting and i'm.
portant fields Are there not many
readers of this paper who would gladly
make a special offering for Bible work in
one of these fields? Any contribution
large or small, sent to me for this SPECIFIC
work will be faithfully used in the field
designated by the donor.

Young circuit of Toytown.

The New England Home Magazine,
issued AS supplement to the Boston
Sunday Journal has department called
Toytown Topics, the same being the
society organ of Toytown in Makebe-
leve county.
The last issue was embelished by a
full-ength portrait OF Toytown's ilustri-
Gus statesman, William Wallace Grout
I'd, son of Charles 7. Grout and grand
nephew of Congressman w. w. Grout
as we'll as grandson of Barney Cannon,
Jr. The young man is in overalls, a ia
vorite costume OF his, and has roguish
twinkle in his eye, in keeping with this
anecdote which is probably quite as true
as many of the anecdotes told of other
illustrious statesmen long before his day ::
"Tovtown's illustrious statesman,
William Wallace Grout, I'd, is a capital
after dinner speaker. We remember very
wildly the sensation caused by an i'm
promptu speech he made at the close of
formal dinner given by his respected
parents. During the fish course he ap-
peared upon the scene, and was put in
high chair by his mothers side. He
started in to make a remark, but his
father Immediately hushed him up with
the very original adage that Little boys
should be seen and not heard"
Being ever an obedient and dutiful son,
he at once relapsed into silence. When
coffee and the cigars came on the en-
barge was removed, and papa said gra-
ciously: Now, my little son, what is it
you wanted to say to me?"
"Why, was going to tell you, papa,
replied Mr.. Willie, that the bath-tub is
OVERLOOKING and the water is leakin
through the parlor ceilin'."

New Superintendent at Insane Asylum.

DR.. Frank w. Page has resigned the
office of superintendent of the Vermont
Hospital for the Insane at Waterbury,
and the trustees have appointed DR..
Marcello Hutchinson, superintendent OF
the dipsomoniac department of the
Massachusetts General Hospital, to sue
coed him. DR.. Pages reasons for resign
ing are said to be purely personal, though
it Is understood he was hampered in his
work by the state commission, He has
been an exceedingly efficient officer and
has wrought a revolution in the condi.
ton OF affairs in the hospital. DR.. Hutch
inson was tor several years assistant
Superintendent of the Trenton hospital
for the insane and is now fort, eight
years of age. He comes to his new post
highly recommended. DR.. Page will
probably remain at the hospital for two
or three weeks, when it is expected that
DR.. Hutchinson will assume the manage.

effect is produced by roughening the sur
lace OF the steel and OVERLAPPING the gold,
which adheres to the roughened surface.
Da,imaskeening is not inlaying as gene
rally supposed. For instance, if the gold
had been inlaid in the blade, it would
have necessitated the carving or etching
out OF the surface of the steel of the blade
to receive the gold, which would have
weakened and changed the condition of
the tempered blade, so that in making
the final test, in which the blade was
bent so as to make the point almost
touch the hilt, not only would there have
been the risk of swapping it, but also of
ripping out the gold-the nature Of the
tempered steel and the gold forced in as
in inlaying being so different that they
would not have bent alike.
Even the stars in the wreaths of the
scabbard are symbolic, each star being
turned one point further than its prede.
cessor, thus creating in the combinati ton
revolving star, to symbolic the pro-
gress Of empire.
THE metal on the belt, trappings,
buckles, rings, ETC., is OF the same o.
karat gold, all made by hand and of
beaten out metal the cloth of the belt is
the regulation navy blue embroidered in
gold bullion, with the three stripes each
quarter OF an inch wide, as required in
the regulation belts.
Eat the point of the scabbard are two
dolphins struggling for supremacy as re-
presented; bet ween the two is the trident
of Neptune.
"All decorations on the blade are con-
ventional the description is in very
simple letters, and the rest of the blade is
ornamented with a procession of Pheni-
clan galleys, representing the first war
craft used in the world.
1.-THE rings of the scabbard that sustain
the sword from the trappings are deco
rated with stars and stripes, thus COM
bining the ring, the symbol of eternity,
with the stars and stripes, as indicating
that they shall maintain their supremacy
forever.
Great care was observed in selecting
the diamonds for the monogram g. D..
and also the letters U. S. NJ as well as
the blossoms OF the Ros Marinus which
surround the monogram; they are all of
the first water."- The Great Round
