Regarded as a Military and CONNER
~ - eial Necessity.
DISCUSSED IN GEN. GREELY'S REPORT
Extensive Years Work of the
Signal Corps.
NEED OF REORGANIZATION

"An American trans-Pacific cable is q
military and commercial necessity if our
colonial possessions are to be retained or
if American interests are to be Safeguarded
in Asiatic countries" says Gen. Greedy,
chief signal officer Of the army, in his an
nual report THE great value of such
cable is more especially for the fostering of
industrial interests in the new colonies and
in order to facilitate commercial operations.
1.-The cable experiences of the War De-
partment in connection with the relief of
the legations at Pekin point clearly to the
tremendous disadvantages under which the
United States. without it's own cable facii-
ties, would labor in case Of an extended
war in the east
"Inasmuch as 1t is officially known that
an American cable can only enter Japan
from the east. and not from Russia, China
nor the Philippines, the only possible route
s that already recommended to Congress
by the President. via Hawaii and Guam"
The successful efforts Of officers of the
signal corps have enabled the chief signal
officer Of the army to bring together a col
lection of data that must be of great value
and Importance to such officers of the gov
eminent as may be charged either with the
construction, laying and operation Of SUBJ
marine cables or the supervision of the
work il done by contract.
1t is to be added that the trans-Pacifc
cable should be thoroughly American in It's
manufacture. installation and operation.
"Great Britain and Russia have enlarged
the sphere Of their influence by extending
their cable systems to important Chinese
stations previously inaccessible, while Ger
many is likewise engaged. From the pres
ent outlook the entire Asiatic coast will
continue to be tied up by European cable
corporations, to the utter exclusion of facil-
tiles entirely American"
Work of the Corps.
General Greedy says that the labors of the
signal corps have covered greater extent
of territory and exceeded In amount of work
and variety Of duties performed those of
any previous year Although most of the
work Of the signal corps has been per-
formed in Alaska, the Philippines, China,
great deal done in the United States, in.

KING MENELIK'S CAPITAL.
Some Facts About Place of Which
Little Is Commonly known.
W.. Mavrzine-

IL
From Pearson's Magazine.
IeueIik and his empire are often on
mems lips. but how many people we meet
would care to say off hand what Is the
name of his capital? Magdala we know
and Auda we know, because of recent wars,
hut Adds Abeba enjoys the blessings OIL
having no history. Some say the words
mean the new white rose" others trans
late it the new flower but 1 prefer the
former title
1t is a unique capital In that 1t arose
almost IN a single night. and Is destined to
disappear as speedily. The fact is that
Abyssinians are utterly reckless In the mat
Ter of forestry, and whenever a vast num-
her of them live together they soon use up
all the fuel available for miles around.
Menelik's former capital, Entotto, two or
three hours climb from the New White
Rose was abandoned not long ago for that
very reason, and nothing now remains
there save two churches and few brown
ruins of the palace; ruins not generation
old-how strange that sounds Already the
New White Rose must bring her fuel from
q great distance at a great expense. and
the king of kings is looking out for another
capital.
of course the chief interest OF Menelik' s
capital is Meueik himself, and l was for
tunate in securing an audience of forty
minutes the day before he was to start
upon a royal progress through the kingdom
of Shoa.

A chapter on the HIgh school GIrl.

A Cnapter ON the High school G1rI.
William Allen White, editor of the
Emporia Gazette, who has won fame
and fortune in telling what he knows
about boys, seems to know some
thing also about girls. In TIE course
of . 1audatory editorial on the High
school girl graduate he submits an
estimate of class of girls of which
there are all too many, possibly At
any rate, his observations. interro-
gativsly put, are worth reading. The
following is a specimen of the inquisi-
ton alluded to:
But how many of these girls can
wash baby? How many know
where a porterhouse steak comes
from?
What per cent of them can run a
wrecking crew into pullet and re
move the debris without breaking
the gall bag?
How many can pick out a good
roast of mutton and know how to
dress it and serve it SO that it won't
taste like a rancid nightmare?
How many can make their own
| underwear?
How many can darn stockings?
How many know how to save the
scraps of meat and potatoes and
bread and cake and vegetables and
make soups and stews and croquets
| and buildings and things out of them
that save half the grocery bills for a
man?
How many know how to brighten
la
touches that make the home some
thing more than four walls and a
roof?
Yet these are the important things
of life. This knowledge is far more
important to happiness than know
ledge that the square of .'x' plus sly"
is square plus 2xy plus q square.
A silly girl who can't keep house Is a
worse curse to a man than flrt. AS
many men are ruined by do-less wo-
men in their own homes as are ruin
cd by whiskey. And the thing that
the mother of a boy should fear is not
SO much the lady who anoints her
bed with frankicense and myrrh as
| the girl who leaves her bed unmade
all day and who lets the bres kfast
dishes go until noon while she pins
on a street dress and lights out for
town. That is the kind of a wo-
man that the boy should be saved
from. And she is lying in wait for
the boy in a hundred parlors in this
| town every night.
Now, all this is not the fault of the
high school, which has done much
for the girl. But it is the fault of
foolish mothers who think the high
school does everything. Given a
good home training in the homely,
useful things CT life, a high school
education is priceless boon. Tt
brings happiness. It broadens and
sweetens the character; but if a girl
can only have one kind of an educa-
ton, let her take her diploma from
the kitchen and let her books go
hang
