what 1. a Military Genius.

A military genius is the most precious
possession Of q nation and the most diff.
cult to recognize. He canno be created
by human means. No nation can put a
spirit of discernment into the souls Of its
commanders, not even recognize it where
it already exists. But 1t a train them
in the technicalities of their trade and at
least make kriegsspielers of them. There
may be a genius among them, and such
training is necessary to his full profess
sional equipment. The remainder can be
utilized for what they are worth.
An army needs but one genius of the
first class. Subordinate geniuses, how
ever, are needed in every grade Of the mil
itary hierarchy. Captains who can hold
their men steadily to their work under a
calling and even a deadly fire are geniuses.
The spirits within item are master spirits
whom this men instinctively recognize and
obey. The leader of a forlorn hope should
be such q man. II he is not, no matter
how courageous he may be, his men will
not follow him. In such emergencies
nothing but commanding spirits can COM
mand. Men recognize such leaders in
stinctively. Something akin to %hypnotism
compels them to feel as their leaders feels,
and they cannot help but follow him.
There Is a heap Of difference between such
q leader and a brave man who merely re-
beats the language of the drillbook. The
one is a genius. The other is a kriegs-

4OCKET AND CHAIN FOR PRATT
TESTIMONIAL FROM OLD MEM
BERs OF THE FORCE.

Ex-Chief of Police Arthur Pratt is
the proud recipient of handsome gold
watchchain and charm, the gift of
members of the old police force who
have been retained under the reorgan-
ization. The presentation wds made
yesterday at the department shortly
before the afternoon shift went on
duty. The ex-chief was lured over to
headquarters under false pretenses,
and found the boys gathered in the Of
ficers' room, moving about very sus-
piciously He was taken completely by
surprise when Desk Sergeant Living
ston advanced and in behalf of the de-
partment presented him with the token.
Mr.. Livingston. in the course of his re-
marks, referred to the good will and
pleasant feeling that have existed be-
tween the officers and the, chief, and
said the boys desired to show their ap-
probation of his services. 1t was a
small token of regard. he said. not of
any great value, intrinsically, but car
ried with it the best wishes of the
donors.
Chief Pratt, in accepting the gift, re-
piled in a few words. He extended his
hearty thanks to the force. and said he
would prize the chain as greatly as the
spirit in which it was presented. Il
am proud to have been at the head of
this department" said he; Il am proud
of each and every man connected with
it. L wish to say that the selection of
Mr.. Hilton was a good one, and l hope
you will give him your loyal support
as long as he may occupy the position.

It. of course follows that no mental

In this connection may be mentioned
the symptoms of chorea, by which chill

The child becomes clumsy and appar-

aroused, and he shows a lack of self
control in many ways. 4 few simple
tests can be made by any teacher to test
her pupils. Usually disorderly muscular
actions are an index of disorderly brain
action, and can be detected in the muscles
of the face and hands. The best test is
the hand movements. Let the child
stretch both hands out straight in front,
toward the teacher. If the hands are
steady, both alike in position on the
same level then the child has not and is
not near chorea. Another test: Let the
child lay his hands open upon yours

especially the latter, lie in yours quietly,
without trernor or restraint? In either

Both speeches were greeted with ap-

dressed a few words of instruction to
the new men, the gathering dissolved.
The chain is a beauty, being of solid
gold. and the locket, or charm, is richly
inlaid with diamonds and elegantly en-
grayed. On it's face is this inscription:
"Presented to Chief Arthur Pratt by
the Salt Lake City police force, April
8, 1899" The diamonds are in the form
of a star, representing the policemanS
badge.
There was a collateral incident per-
tanning to the presentation about which
but a few of the reappointed police
men had any knowledge. but the secret
is out. 1t is to the effect that two OF
the old patrolmen begged to be ex-
cused from contributing 50 each to-
ward the purchase of the token of eS-
TEEN presented to ex-Chief Pratt. In
declining to be included with the DON

fact of testing gives strained attention,
which results in a quickening perception.
Another good way would be to stand in
the back of the room and slowly and dls-
tinctly. but in low voice, without re
peating, read a number of disconnected
words or numbers having the pupils write
them down as dictated. This would prob
ably be a fair test, as the voice is after
all the best medium for making it. Mis-
takes would show what was heard and
what was not. If one wished to test the
ears separately, one could be stopped by
pressing in the tragus, and then the
other ear could be similarly stopped: die

and put upon a higher intellectual plane.

EASTERN LEMON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The Journal of Com
merce says: The movement in Sicily lemons
is reported to have been a larger scale
during the past than for several years
past, and although the supply has been more
liberal, it has been well absorbed, the low
prices prevailing for some time past having
stimulated the demand for consumers in all
parts of the country. particularly in the West,
where the small supplies of California fruit
have lett very considerable opening for the
Sicily product. The feature contributing
strength to the situation is the fact that for
the first time In many years very little stock
has been shipped to outports. and nearly all
of the other markets have had to draw the
bulk, If not all. of their supplies from New
York. This fact is said to account for the
large difference in figures of receipts at this
port last year and this.
Stocks afoat for New York. according to
statistics obtained from the trade are con-
siderably in excess of those way last year
