Impatience kicks over the dinner
pail to get to the supper table.

The February issue Of the Book of
the Royal Blue" published by the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, contains a
very instructive article on "The Reg
ular Army Of the United States" by
Major H. o. Heistand, Assistant Adju-
tant General. Major Heistand gives
facts and figures concerning the mill
tary department since its organization,
during the war of the revolution.
Some of his statistics are very inter-
esting. During the revolution the
number of individuals actually in mil
itary service did not exceed 100000; in
the war of 1872 there were All ,622, Of
which 62,674 were regulars; in the war
with Mexico there were 1921, of
which 42,545 were regulars; in the war
Of the rebellion there were 2,259, 168
United States troops Of whom 1885
were colored, and $1,000 regulars, the
total being 2,926,16S in the war with
Spain there were 219,035 volunteers,
(10,1S9 being colored) and 55,6S2 reg
ulars, a total of 274,717. Major Hell
stand also gives the number killed,
wounded and lost and the deaths from
disease in each war, including the In
dian wars, and other important facts.

Strange Funeral Customs.

In an interesting history of his par.
ish, the Rev. James Murray of XII
malcolm, Renfrewshire, mentions that
"amid the enjoyments of the people
we must not fail to notice funerals,
and he calls attention to a curious
custom which was prevalent in con-
nection with them. 1t appears a
sieve containing clay pipes, filled with
tobacco, was handed round just before
the corteget started. Then the mourn
ers smoked, and when the kirkyard
was reached, as the grave was being
filled, each stepped solemnly forward
and cast his pipe "amang the moods.

Cura for EIanhnntasis.

The Venezuelan Herald announces
that the natives OF Calcutta on the
frontier Of Venezuela and Colombia,
have discovered a cure for elephan-
tiasis in an herb called tuatua, or
frailejou. This dreadful disease has
hitherto been regarded as incurable,
and If there be any truth in the report
from Calcutta, which is vouched for
by priest, the information may prove
of great value to the medical world.

lr Seasickness.

Brlght-red spectacles, accompanied
by internal doses of calomel, form a
new German specific against seasick-
ness. It is deduced from Epstein's in
vestigation on the influence of color
on the blood vessels in the brain.
Seasickness is due to lack OF blood In
the brain, while red sends blood to
the brain with a rush. BY looking at
one point for some time through the
red glasses the patient is cured rad

Of the position of tho ship. In the
United States navy experiments have
been made with submarine lights,
which were placed well below the sur
face Of the water, and their rays were

emerged from the water the observers
on deck could detect any vessel at the

PORT ARTHUR CELEBRATION.
Opening of New Seaport for the West
to 10 FIttingiy observed.

PoRT ARTHUR Texas, March 0.
Extensive preparations are now I'M
der way for a great celebration on the
occasion of the completion of the first
cutting of the dredges in the Port Ar
thur Ship Canal, which requires only
"a comparatively small amount of work
to complete it,. The Port Arthur Ship
Canal is part of the harbor system
forming the Gulf terminal of the Kan
sas City, Pittsburg g. Gulf Railroad at
Port Arthur, Texas. The canal has
been under construction for the past
two years. Legal and other obstruc-
tions have been constantly raised by
rival interests, and work was stopped
twice by order of the Secretary OF
War-all distractions, however, hav
ing been removed, the first cutting OF
the canal will be co mpleted March
25th and vessels drawing "a feet OF
water will be enabled to.receive and
discharge cargoes at the docks at Port
Arthur ina very short time.
The canal was designed and con-
structed by Robert Gillian, general
manager. and chief engineer of the
Kansas City, Pittsburg IL Gulf rail-
road. A. E. Stilwell, president of the
road, first. suggested the canal and in
terested j. de Gocijen of Amsterdam,
Holland, large foreign holder Of the
roads securities. The plans prepared
by. Mr.. Gillian were approved by for
eign engineering experts, and the
/ work was. begun during the spring OF
1895. The canal is designed to extend
to deep water from Sabine Pass to
! Port Arthur. Sabine Pass has depth
of q feetsof water over the bar. The
dimensions of the canal are the same
as those OF the Suez caual-1i3 feet
swide'and s5 feet deep. 1t is ~ miles
long. The excavations were made by
hydraulic dredges, the work involving
btthe Fdredgihg of 14,ooo,oo) yards OF
clay, etc
At, the Port Arthur end of the canal
several slips have been already dredge!d
and work on others is in progress. An
elevator with capacity of 500, 200
bushels is completed; large warehouses
have been built and extensive piers
constructed; large export business
has already~bccn handled through
Port Arthur, and as soon as the canal
is, completed, additional steamship
lines will be established. The har Dor
is land-Iocked and an excellent one. .,
A number of prominent men, fnan::
ciers from Europe and elsewhere, will
be present. at the celebration on the
p5th. The Third regiment band OF
Missouri, late U. S. Volunteers, will
leave on a special train from Kansas
City, March 22nd; distinguished visit.
ors will be present from New York,
London, Amsterdam: Paris and ether
foreign places as well as many points
in the United States. Free transpor,
tatf6n from Port Arthur to the dock
and free transportation by steamers
on the canal will be furnished. Lunch
will be served on the canal in connec-
/ ton with the ceremonies This will
be an event of unusual interest and
Importance, connecting the waters OF
the Gulf of Mexico with the greatest
canal and land-locked harbor on the
American continent. Specially low
rates will be made from Omaha
