The two battalions of the Third Cav
airy have been assigned to the trans
port St. Paul. which will leave San
Francisco on August 18th for Seattle,
where the cavalrymen will embark and
sail on August 10Th or Goth. Two
ships, the Athenian and the Garonne,
have been chartered to carry the horses
for these battalions, and the three YES
sells will remain in company through
the voyage, which is expected to con-
sumo about six weeks.
The vessels will go first to Dutch
Harbor, Alaska, where the men and
horses will go ashore several days for
exercise. A similar stop will be made
at Nagasaki for week in hope that
the horses will arrive in Manila in
good condition for immediate cam
paigning. The marine battalion has
been assigned to the City of Sydney, a
chartered vessel. Her excess accom-
mediation after the marines are on
board will be taken by regular recruits.
The other vessels sailing this month
will also be devoted entirely to reg
ular recruits, as we'll as any surplus
room on succeeding vessels at all times.
The movement of the new infantry reg
iments. will be added by those of Col
onels Petit, Bell. Gardner and Rice,
will begin on September LIST, taking the
first transports in the army service,
the Warren, the Sherman, the Hancock,
Grant and the Sheridan, WElich make
the trip in less than thirty days. All
these ships will carry extra supplies of
food, ammunition and other stores for
the Eighth Corps, but on account of
their limited capacity efforts are being
made to charter additional freight
steamers. One of these which has
been secured is the Port Arthur. which
will leave Tacoma about August 10Th,
with 800 mules to be used as pack an
imals in the approaching campaign.
Other shipments of mules will be dis
patched until the number of those ami
mails in the Philippines is about 5000.
About 5000 horses for cavalry pur-
poses are also to be sent across the
Pacific as rapidly as chartered vessels
are secured. 1t is believed that all of
these will be shipped by the middle of
September.

the effect that contributions of food,

BRICKMAKERs' STRIKE.
The Situation at Chicago Said to
Be at a Critical Stage.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The brickmak-
ers' strike has reached the critical
stage, and from assertions made by the
manufacturers in answer to the de-
mands of the strikers, it is believed
that a general tie-up of building
operations in Chicago and a strike Of
$4,000 craftsmen is imminent.
The brickmakers all insist that South
Side manufacturers sell their product
in any territory within the county
where the non union article is gener-
ally used. By compelling the union
yards to enter into competition with the
non-union manufacturers, the alliance
calculates to force the latter into be-
coming unionized. The manufacture
ers declare that they will not do the
bidding of the strikers. The Building
Trades Council AYERS that it will sus-
tain the brickmakers. If those senti-
ments are adhered to. it is asserted
that general strike will be called
within few days.

THE AMERICAS "ruAse..

Mr.. William Archer, in the October
number of the Pail Mail Magazine,
writes as follows:
1t is not to be expected that an ex-
tremely English intonation should ever
be agreeable to Americans, or an ex-
tremely American intonation to Eng
llshmen. We ourselves laugh at a
"haw-hawn information in English :
why, then, should wei forbid Amcri cans
to do SOP If an accent like banjo''
is recognized as undesirable in America
land assuredly it is), there is no
reason why we in England should pre-
tend to admire it, But a vulgar or
affected intonation is clearly dis
tinguishable, and ought to be clearly
distinguished, from national habit
in the pronunciation Of given letter,
or acoentuation OF particular word,
or class of words. For instance, take
the pronunciation of the indefinite
article. The American habitually says
"a man" Ia as in "game') the
Englishman, unless he wants to be
emphatic, says "a man." Neither is
right, neither wrong-+it is purely q
matter of habit; and to consider the
habit ridiculous is merely to exhibit
that childishness or rrovincialism of
mind winch Is moved to laughter by
whatever is unfamiliar. Again, when
| first read the works of the sagacious
Mr.. Dooley, | thought it curiously
r-fetched idea on the part of that
philosopher to talk of Admiral Dewey
as his cousin George,'' and assert
that Dewey" and Dooley" were
practically the same name. / had not
then noticed that the Ameri-
can pronunciation Of Dewey" is
DOGGY" and that the liquid "yoo''
is very seldom heard in America. In
the course of the fiee minutes | spent
in the Supreme Court at Washington,
| heard the Chief Justice Of the
United States make this. one remark /:
THAT, sir, is not constitutional. To
our ears this 100" has an old
fashioned ring, like that of the "ee:'
in .'obleeged;" but to call it wrong
is absurd, and to find it ridiculous is
provincial.

The wild boar to the sun.dried swami.
And the red crane to the reed,
And the Romany lass to the Romany lad
By the tie of a rowing breed.

Nipping the tanks of their plunging ranks
Till the wild sea horses neigh.
The pied snake to the rifted rock,
The buck to the stony plain, ".-m-

Where the bosom of God is the wild west

Sweeping the sea floors white.
Follow the Romany pattern
West to the sinking sun,
Till the junk sails lift through the noiseless

And the East and West are one.
Follow the Romany pattern
East where the silence broods
By purple wave on MI open beach
In the hush OF the Mahim woods.
The wild hawk to the wind-swept sky.
The deer to the wholesale wold,
And the heart of man to the heart of a

The heart of a man to the heart of maid.

Infant Moses.
New York Mail and Express
Filling the southwest corner Of the
lagoon at the upper end of Central
Park is large patch of rather un-
common type of water lily. These plants
attract much attention, for their tall
green stems, huge leaves and beautiful
rose-coored flowers are conspicuous
from distance
The plant is known MS the Egyptian
lotus tnelumbium specosum aud is
well known TO those who have seen the
River Nile. They grow close together
and multiply rapidly. The stem OF
the average Egyptian lotus is ono to two
inches in diameter. They stand five,
six or even seven feet above tho surface
OF the water, aud grow, perhaps, two or
three feet below. The roots spread out
along. the bottom of the lake, and here
and there throw out shoots to such an
extent that whole grove of the plants
may come from one parent stem. These
roots sometimes attain the size of a
mans arm.
Inc stems are smooth and n bright
green color. They grow straight in
7 from the roots, and each one bears n
ieat or Hover. Tho leaves are much
in the majority. They are very large
from Two to two and a.half feet in
aiaheter, and turn up from the center,
where the stem joins them, giving the
appearance Of an umbrella turned in-
side out.
The occasional flowers have longer
stems and roar their heads proudlv
above the leaves. Tho flowers are
beautiful when full blown. being siy
to eight inches in diameter, and Of a
delicate rose pink, fading away 10 n
creamy white ut the base Of the petals.
Like many beautiful things, thew are
short lived, and at the end Of their
third day in bloom the petals drop off
rapidly, leaving only the seed nod.
Whlch IS three or four inches wide at
the top, and funnel-shaped. In the ton
are seven or eight holes, like the pores
OF sponge, each one holding o seed.
When the stem withers in the autumn
the seed pod bonds over and drops lis
seeds into the water, so that the next
year there will be n colony of lotuses,
SO rapid is the rate at which thew
multiply that the roots have to he
separated from the rest of the pond by

Few servants understand the care of
fine bric-a-brac, and the mistress who
possesses a large collection has usually
but little time to devote to Its care
consequently any young woman with d
knowledge of the proper methods OF
brushing, washing, polishing and
caring for delicate tritles would in a
large city be almost sure to succeed, f

journal. Owners of collections would
be glad to turn this work over to "A
