81. Square
Indian Native Cavalry.

When man wishes to enlist in a
silladar cavalry regiment he must pro-
vide himself, says a writer in Cham
bers's Journal, with ahorse, saddlery,
a lance, (if his regiment are lancers, J
a sword, his uniform, aud his trans
port; or else be must be employed as
rider by some other person who is
the happy possessor OF all these neces-
saries. In the former case he is called
q silladar, or the owner of an assami !;
and in the latter case bargir, and his
employer his silladar.
3 A silladar draws pay for his assami
and also for his own services. Thus.
if man owns two assamis, he draws
two lots of horse pay and one lot of
pay for himself, a corresponding
amount to this last being paid to the
man who rides his second horse-that
is to say, to his bsrgir.
In some regiments, until compara-
lively recently, it was quite usual for
one man to own ten or twelve assamis,
or even an entire troop. More than
this. it was not unusual for an assami
to be left by will to q mans wife or in
FAINT child, in which case the executors
employed substitute (awas kidmat)
to ride for the woman or child, thus
enabling the owner to draw horse pay.
This practice is still common in some
native Hindustan States.

In q recent report on. the American
iron trade with Great Britain, Consul
Halstead, Of Birmingham, sets forth
point Of great encouragement to pro-
ducers in this country. He declares
that the old reason for sale OF Ameri-
can pig in the English market the
disparity between this and the native
product in the matter of price-no
longer holds good; that the recent
rise in the American market has served
TO show thatw can maintain our mar.
ket there even with Alabama iron
which furnishes the great. bulk OF the
trade--at a higher figure than the ma.
tive brands. This market he regards
as now Rermanent one, and freight
rates FROM Southern ports can always
be kept down, because the season OF
heavy movement corresponds with the
cotton shipping season, when pig iron
serves admirably as ballast to ships
bulging with lightweight cotton.

COMMON SENSE ON PUNCTUATION.
Batch of Rules That Are in Accord
With Modern Methods.

Batch of Rules That Are in Accord
With Modern Methods.
"Whose punctuation do you followP"
The answer is, our own. Unlike
D'Israeli's alleged sensible mem
who, " hen asked what their religion
is, "neye1 tell"-we are willing and
glad to tell what our rule of punctua-
ton is. Here you have it in few
words:
l. Never use comma if "the way
faring man, though fool, can grasp
the meaning of the text without it.
2. Never use a semicolon when o
comma will serve the author and the
reader as we'll.
3. Never use colon when O semi
colon will serve as we'll.
/ T. Wherever there is no climacteric
effect to be preserved, cut up your
semicoloned and colonel sentence in
to short sentences.
5. Use commas and periods as your
standbys.
G. Use the semicolon chiefly to bet
ter express antithetis, and to group
phrases and clauses.
7. Use the colon chiefly in formal
enumeration, after "viz., "as follows"
and the like.
s. Use the dash to indicate an alb
rupt break in the sentence, an after
thought, and, in many instances where
in olden times the parenthesis was
used, to indicate that the words in
cluded are parenthetically employed.
8. Use the parenthesis only when
you find dashes are not sufficiently
exclusive.
10. Never use brackets except where
you insert some word of your own in
quotation from some other author.
IL. Never use an interrogation point
except when your question is direct;
e. g., it would be improper to use it
after ''girl' in this sentence: "He
asked what allied the girl"
These are our rules to-day. To-
morrow, if we see any new light, we
shall follow it. But we are not likely
to stray away from the course above
marked out Punctuation, like SEN
tence-making, becomes second nature
after awhile. In punctuation, as in
sentence-making, we do we'll or ill as
We succeed or fail in presenting our
thought in fewest words. The words
should be chosen and arranged as to
develop our meaning, our whole mean
ing, and nothing but our meaning

Another Andree relief expedition
has come to grief without finding any
trace Of the lost explorer. This is the
second expedition in the past few
months that has been compelled to re-
treat, bafiled and disappointed, before
the terrors of the Arctic. As the
months go by it becomes more mani
fest that the daring balloonist has met
the fate Of franklin and De Long and
hundreds Of others less prominent in
the white wilderness Of the unexplored
North. While it is hoping against
hope that Andree and his companions
may yet return to civilization, the
quest for them, like that for Sir John
Franklin, will never cease until tan
gible evidence of their death has been
secured.

I It is gratifying to note that General
Henry is applying to Porto Rico tho
same vigorous and salutary policy by
which General Wood has put new life
into the province Of Santiago. In
Porto Rico the conditions are not SO
difficult aud depressing, and the task
will be less difficult, and General
Henry is facilitating itby doing things
in their proper order. He is begin
ming by holding municipal elections,
aud will then reorganize local courts
OF justice and'other details OF local adj
ministration, after which the Ameri-
can public school will be established.
All these measures win show good re-
sults even more quickly than they
have in Cuba.

striking Contradictions.

A great contrast will often befound
to exist between authors and their
works, melancholy writer's being the
most jocular in society usually, and
humorists in theory the most lu-
gubrious mortals in practice.

Voyage of "a Tin Box.

Things cast up by the sea some-
times have hoated for longer dis
tance than one would suppose. A
man near Rockland recently picked
up a small tin tobacco box, with
note inclosed requesting the finder to
return it to Edward II. Grant, South
Framingham, Mass. The box was
mailed to the above address, and an
answer was soon received from the
recipient, who said that the box had
been thrown overheard from a canoe
on Twin Lake, near Moosehead,
where he was spending his vacation
last season, and must have found its
way down the Penobscot River

Our esteemed contemporaries, the
Temps and Petit Bleu, Of Paris, seek
to persuade themselves that our &C.
QUESTION of the Philippines has de-
priyed us of the guardianship of the
Western Hemisphere, says the New
York Journal. AS the Petit Bleu puts
it: 1.-THE Monroe Doctrine is now
out of date. The American Republic,
conquering and colonizing, no longer
has the right to close to Europe the
new continent, since she herself has
stepped out of it," That is to say,
because we have stepped out of our
own home for the purpose of thrashing
Spain and giving liberty to some
millions of her oppressed colonies,
anybody is free to step into the Ameri
can residence or found settlements on
the adjoining premises. When any
European country is able to beat us in
war, as we have beaten Spain, it will
be privileged to overthrow the Monroe
doctrine, aud not till then. The
validity of that doctrine has rested
not on Europe's consent, but on the
ability Of this Republic to enforce it.
No foreign monarchy can fasten upon
any part Of this half Of the world with
out demclishing a republic, and the
demolition Of republics by monarchies
is an enterprise which the United
States will not tolerate. The Monroe
Doctrinesis stronger to-day than ever
it was, because we are more powerful
for its defense than at any other period
in our history,

WHEN COOKS AWAY.

When cooks away sweet Bessie tries
Her hand at baking beans and pies;
She gets the cook book from tn shelf,
And then proceeds to teach herself.
She poressthe pages till she thinks
She mastered all the doughs and drinks.
But tho she follows every quirk,
The stubborn recipe won't work.
When cooks away the cake Is sad,
The biscuits drop, the coffee's bad,
The bread is never baked enough,
The fish is raw, the meat is tough,
The porridge burns, the gravy Jumps, ,
And we are in the deepest dumps.
For indigestion comes to stay
And reigns supreme, when cooks awav,
When cooks away fear that the
Recording angel weeps for me-.
For 1t is true, must confess,
/ tell some Abs to please sweet Bess.
! tell her Glove forgive the crimeO
She'll be splendid chef In time,
Nor never show by word or look
That am yearning for the cook.

Pearls Made to Order.

M. Boutin, of the Sorboune, sin,e
the announcement of his successful
production Of pearls in the Roscoff
laboratory, has been inundated with
letters from fashionable ladies who
either want to know where they can
buy these artificial products or whether
they should lose no time in disposing
of valuable pearl ornaments. To the
trade, however, NJ. Boutin's discovery
causes little agitation, for the dealers
we'll know that he has merely done
what has been for years familiar
trick with the heathen Chinee. A lit
tie pelleJ of some foreign substance
introduced between the shells of the
oyster will in the course of few weeks
become coated with the beautiful iri-
descent material known as mother-of-
pearl. But the result is not genuine
pearl of any value, for that's growth
which only comes to perfection after a
considerable lapse of time. Such q
process of nature cannot be hurried. -

Extensive Use OF Kangaroo hides.

Not many people have any idea how
extensively kangaroo hides are utilized
in this country. During 1897 there
were over 400, 900 such skins received
in New York, and about eighty per
cent. Of these were tanned in one large
establishment in Newark, N. j. The
hides all come from Australia and New
Zealand. Prior to 1859 kangaroos
were killed and eaten in Australia and
their hides were cut up and made
mostly into shoestripgs and belts.

An Order of Journnllsts.

A newspaper report from London
says that the Rev. Lach Szyrma, a
devout Episcopalian clergyman, is
seriously agitating the founding of al
order of journalists, which is to be
placed under the special protection of
the Apostle Paul. The clergyman
argues that the press of the day is ex-
erting q powerful influence over the
world, and that the formation of So
ciety of newspaper editors and writer's,
with the noble aim of instructing the
nations and of guiding them on the
road of justice and universal brother
hood, cannot fail to prove of incalcula-
BILE benefit TO the Christian Church
and humanity. The physicians. says
the Rev. Mr.. Szyrma, have st. Luke
as their patron saint, and as st. Paul
was the best reporter of ancient times,
and the mighty logician and moralist
of Scripture, he would be the best
mediator for journalists between
heaven and earth. 1t is proposed to
hold an annual reunion of newspaper
workers in the big Cathedral of st.
Paul, where some eminent bishop is
to deliver an annual address, and
where prayers will be offered for the
benefit OF the newspaper fraternity.
