SOLDIERS LIFE EASIER.
His Means of Protection, Weapons
and Food are Much Improved
of Late Years.

Although soldering would seem to be
more perilous business than it ever
was before. in consequence of the great
er .scrce, rapidity and range of weapons,
and the higher power OF explosives,
the result may show that modern bat
ties are not more deadly than were
those in the civil war, since an attempt
has been made to counteract the de-
structiye forces by stouter projections
in forts and by system of tactics that
replaces the old solid formations with
something like the skirmish order of
former times. 1t may be also that the
troops will fight at further distance, al
lowing for the longer carriage of bull
lets and shells.

the perils of war have been multiplied
the comforts of the camp have been in
creased until they are a partial offset.
Clothing is stouter, if the millers choose
to make it SO; camp outfits include
cooking apparatus that can be carried
on the back of one man; the canning of
meats, vegetables and fruits, the desic-
cation OF other articles of food, and the
general cl,eapening Of many things
that were l'uxuries few years ago
make 1t posa ible to live in camp almost
as in a hotel. The substitution of alu-
minimum for iro. in utensils is another
advantage, and in general there is a
tendency to both /. ghtness of outfit and
extension of proper. ties contained in it.
In addition to the articles provided
by the government in its clothing and
ration allowances, the \ nan with gun

The nlae crap.. !s1ncer c,aw..

The pincer claws of the female of
the blue crab, in both the hard she'll
and the soft shell state, are tipped
with red, while those of the male crab
nre blue to the ends. In market, soft
shell crabs are seen in shallow wooden
boxes, placed in rows on edge, packed
in little seaweed, the claw edge of the
crab being uppermost. At times fe-
male crabs are taken more plentifully
than males, and so it may happen that
there will be seen in the trays in mar
ket whole rows of crabs with red
tipped claws, or with only here and
there one showing the blue-tipped
claws OF male crab.--N. Y. Sun.

THE LUMP FIsT.
Ungainiy in shape, But Beautiful An
CoIor--A Specimen Now at the
New York Aquarium.

Among a number Of fish lately re-
ceived at the aquarium is a lump fish,
from Gravesend bay. The lump fish is
ungainly in shape and clumsy in action,
but its coloring makes it beautiful.
Looked at broadside on, its outline is
something like that of fiat fish, but,
in the cross section, the lump fish is
something like tall triangle, running
up to point at the top and being
thickest near She lower part OF the
body, while almost fiat across the belly.
On the under part of the body, just back
of the head, the lump fish has a sucking
disk, by means of which ii attaches it
self to rocks or any other object. Some
times it lies on the bottom. 1t has a
small head and mouth and little eyes.
The lump fish is sometimes green
and sometimes brown in color. The one
now at the aquarium, which is about
half grown and six or seven inches in
length, is a green fish. On some parts
OF the body the green shades into gray,
but green is the fish's distinguishing
color. shading from coppery green
into paler tint and so into the gray.
The colors are not dull, but they are
without luster.
The aquarium has had at different
times two or three lump fish before this
enc, but none of them lived long 1t is
fish difficult to keep in captivity, and
none of those here before could be per-
'suadgd to eat. This one. however, is
eating with a pretty fair appetite. 1t
lives at present on shrimps, which are
partly stunned before placing them in
the water, which makes ii easier for the
lump fish to get them. 1t eats shrimps
in nature when It gets a chance, clos
ing up on them gradually when they
lie motionless on stone or spile, and
finally with a sudden motion nabbing
them. 1t would do it here if it had
chance. As it is, the shrimp are fed to it.
The lump fish IS perhaps attached by
its disk To the side Of the tank near the
bottom. A deadened shrimp is dropped
into the water at the top. The lump
fish appears to know instantly CT its
presence; it inches up a little on the
side of the tank. still, however, keep
ing its hold. But the shrimp continues
TO drop down straight through the wa
ter, and the lump fish waits for it. The
shrimp comes SO close that the
fish can get it by bending its head
to one side without letting so. But
other shrimps may have a little more
lie and drop through the water beyond
reach, and the lump fish let's go and
swims off to get them, most likely COM
ing back TO attach itself to the wall
again, but up nearer the top.
The lump fish is slow in movement
and not quick in its eating. The shrimp
is naturally very quick in its move
ments, as is shown here in a curious
way. A shrimp that had been partially
stunned, and had been taken in by the
lump fish, recovered its strength in the
fish's mouth and before it had been
swallowed, and before the languid fish
could close its mouth the shrimp had
flashed out and darted away.-N. Y.

WHY THEY OPPOSE IT.
White and CoIored Citizens
Sharing in Land Hurts.

missioners for their signatures,
George Sanders and Wolf Coon,
the two iullblood Cherokee com
missioners, refused to sign the
document for the reason that it
changed the method Of holding
their land and that it gave the
white adopted citizens and freed.
men equal property rights with
the Cherokee by blood. After all
the other commissioners had
signed the treaty the principal
objections of these, the real Chero-
KEGS, were given by Mr. Coon in
their behalf, as follows:
Representatives of the Chero-
kee government, as well as those
of the government OF the United
States. have met and have formu-
lated treaties, and these treaties
have been respected and honored
so long as they served the purpose
Of the government of the United
States, but on the other hand, the
Cherokees have held all treaties
as supreme and respected them.
My understanding is that the
treaty of 1886 was planted in the
very sod that brings up this very
condition and this change now.
II was in that agreement that the
freedmen Of the Cherokees were
first mentioned, and ii is within
that treaty that it has subsequently
been considered that they had
equal rights with Us in the division
of our property Subsequent TO
the ratification of that treaty the
constitution of government was
changed and the laws modified,
comforting civil rights to that class
of people so that they could be
protected in their property. We
feel confident that there was no
intention on the part of the Chero-
KEGS when these changes were
made in the constitution that by
these very acts they were parting
with part OF their property. Al
this meeting ii is considered that
the freedmen, as well as the white
adopted citizens Of our country,
have the same rights that we have
in the soil OF our country. Now
it has been explained that the
mistake was made back in 1866,
and now we have it explained
that our people have lost that por-
ton Of the assets of our govern
ment to which they.were entitled.
"a provision of law was made
for the citizens of the United States
whereby they might marry citizens
Of The Cherokee nation. Little
did the lawmakers believe when
they were making those laws that
these people would share in the
patrimony Of the Cherokee people.
Little did we believe it until this
meeting here. On account of tse
enactment of these laws, which
have been SO construed, they are
benefciaries and equal in property
rights with the original owners of
the soil. We do not know Of any
one of that class of people who
anticipated any participation
whatever in the soil. The white
adopted citizens and the freedmen
have come into this country and
IRE to share in an equal division
of the total assets of the real
5wners of the soil without having
Paid anything for it. Any such
teople who agree to anything like
bat might be termed benevolent.
"We feel quite confident that :
