Gen George NJ. Randall, of the Eighth
United States infantry, recently appointed
commander of the department of Alaska,

Gen Randall will be assisted in his new
command by Capt. w. +. Richardson,
also of the Eighth United States infantry.
who has been appointed assistant adtu-
tant general of that department. Capt
Richardson saw service in Alaska last
year
Ever since the creation of the depart
ment of Alaska, which was until few
weeks ago included in the department OF
California under Gen. Shafter, there has
been more or less rivalry among towns
of the territory, particularly those on the
seaboard for the honor of being made de-
partment headquarters. Each in turn mas
presented claims. The most eager aspir-
ants have been st. Michael, juneau. Skag-
way and Fort Wrangel Skagway was
particularly energetic in the presentation
of its claims to recognition as SUIT
able place for department headquarters.
But the matter is now settled. The con-
tempated rush to Cape Nome doubtless
had much to do with the selection OF ST.
Michael which is near the district where
for some time at least the war department
will keep soldiers stationed The next
heaviest military force wiz be at Eagle
City A company of nearly 200 men, COM
manded by Col. Ray, has been stationed
there since early last fall.
Secretary Roots order naming st. Mich
ael as the military headquarters of the
department of Alaska provides as FOL
lows:
'All explorations and surveys within
the department of Alaska will hereafter
be under the special charge and direction
of the commanding officer thereof In con-
nection with the engineering work per-
tanning to that department,
"All officers now engaged upon expior-
Ing or survey duty, or who may hereafter
be ordered upon such duty within said
limits will report to the department COM
mander. and will submit to him all re-
ports maps and correspondence relating
to their operations.
The choice of Seattle as temporary
Headquarters will result In bringing large
military forces to this city within the
next two or three months. All officers and
men will doubtless assemble here some
time in advance of their departure for
Alaska.

THE PROFESSOR.
He Was Frank to Tell the Young Man
What He Thought.

FL. A. Cuppy, Ph. D., who is now
successful editor in New York, studied
at Franklin University, where he was
graduated; at Oxford, England, where
he got his degree, and at Heidelberg.
Professor Jowett, whose Life and
Letters" are important literary contri-
buttons, was one of the most interest
ing personalities to Doctor Cuppy
when student at Oxford. In his col
lection of anecdotes about the profess
sor he tells of walking tour which
one of the matriculates took with the
pedagogue.
"It was a great thing to get an in
vitation to walk with the professor"
he said the other day, 'and the young
man who was the fortunate guest was
so embarrassed that he was unable to
carry on a sensible conversation. At
ter they had been on the road for
about thirty minutes the pupil finally
spanked up courage and remarked: ga
nice day, professor
"'Do you really think So? was the
far-away answer of Jowett.
Another half hour passed, and the
boy stammered out:
Nice road, professor
"The teacher responded: DO you
really think so?
1.-THE matriculate began to boil in
his bones and to get even more fright
ened, but he managed to again blurt
out, Clouds seem to be filling up with
rain, professor, to which the answer
was:
DO you really think so?'
1.-THE two returned to the college
ground and the professor said "Well,
young man, we have been walking for
several hours, and everything you said
has been as stupid as it possibly could
be-
Ellis companion replied: DO you re-
ally think SOP
'The professor looked at the young
man moment. Then he smiled and
grasped his hands warmly. From
that time on conversation never flag
ged during their walks" = Saturday

PHYSICAL DEFECTS.
Look Out For the Ankles of the Little
Children.

1t is not easy to say why so many
people have weak ankles. The ankles
of children bend in when they walk,
and parents, thinking they will out
grow the trouble, pay no attention to
it. The consequence is that the turn
ing in becomes a habit, which is not
corrected in later life. Little children
should have the ankles rubbed with
alcohol il they show any signs of
weakness.
Young children ought to wear shoes
without heels, and the condition of the
heels worn by the older ones should
be watched carefully. When heel is
worn on one side the ankle will natur-
ally turn over on that side. Careless
ness in the fit of shoes, and in wearing
shoes that are turned over, will cause
the ankles to turn. and make walking
both tiresome and awkward. If the
ankles habitually bend either in or out
in walking, it is a good plan, when
buying new shoes, to have the heels
lowered little on the opposite side.
In the same a habit of turning the
heels over on one side can be counter
acted by lowering them on the other.
To strengthen the ankles and make
them supple, thereby rendering walk
ing easier and more graceful, prac-
tice the following exercises:
Bend the foot forward, backward,
sideways. Rotate it slowly at the an
kle. Standing on one foot, shake the
other leg from the thigh, letting the
ankle joint perfectly loose, SO that the
foot moves freely. Rise on the toes,
SO that the weight is supported by the
toes and the balls of the feet, with the
heels lifted high from the floor.

CHILDREN'S CORNER.
Novel Yacht TWO Chicago Boys Made
For Street Voyages.


On one of the wide avenues of Chi
cago there has lately been seen the
queer spectacle of cart with a neat
pair of sails, mailsail and jib, spin
ming along before the wind, turning
around corners, or tacking to an ad
verse breeze. The strange craft was
not exactly a cart, apparently, for its
hind wheels were regular bicycle
wheels, with pneumatic tires, and the
front ones We're taken from n boys
cushion tire bicycle, while the body
is far from being a common cart body.
1t resembles rather the deck of boat.
The craft was invented and built by
two boys of the above mentioned city,
Lawrence and Harold Osborn by
name. Last summer during their va
cation they spent god deal of time in
sailboat They enjoyed this sport
greatly, and as it was not practicable
for them to go sailing on the danger
Gus waters of Lake Michigan, they
resolved to have "sailboat" that
would go OH land. They procured the
wheels from disused bicycles-usins
these in preference to any other
wheels because it is necessary that
the craft shall be light running-and
procured a thin, strong board for
deck.
AS the craft would be useless unless
it could be steered, it was necessary to
invent a steering apparatus. This the
boys succeeded in doing very cleverly.
They pierced their deck so as to put
a level through it, and to this lever,
made of broomstick, they attached
strong pieces of light rope in such a
way as to move the front wheels
either way.
Then the boys inserted their mast,
which is seven feet high; they made
boOms and bent on the sails, which are
neatly made of coarse sheeting. The
sails are correctly proportioned to the
size and weight of the hull" and so
to proportion them, and also to place
the mast in exactly the right spot SO
that the sails should draw well, was
a task which required much ingenuity
and instructive understanding of the
principles of navigation.
A seat was placed at the rear for
the captain. The "crew'-which is

happens to be-must take his chances

to navigate the avenue in light wind.

with immense interest on the street.
At distance up the street it has ex-

who behold it for the first time.

THE CHAM ELEON,
1t Can Change Form as Easily as It
Does its Color.

The chameleon has for ages been an
object of curiosity, mot only on ac-
count of its ability to change its color
at WILL as one might suppose who
had read accounts which mentioned
only that one characteristic, but also
on account of a remarkable power
which admits of the creature instant
ly changing its form. At times it
takes upon itself almost the exact
form of mouse; again, with back
curved and tail erect 1t is the exact
counterpart of miniature crouching
lion, which no doubt gave origin to its
name, chameleon, which clearly
means ground lion" BY initiating
its sides and flattening back and belly.
it takes upon itself the form of an
ovate leaf, the tail acting as the pet
iole, the white line over the belly be-
coming the midrb.
When thus expanded 1t also has the
extraordinary power to sway itself
over so as to present an edge to the
observer, thus greatly adding to its
means of concealment As is well
known, the least excitement, as in
handling, will cause change in the
color. In its normal state it is of a
light pea green. When excited the
groundwork remains the same, but
transverse stripes, about thirty in
number, appear on the body. These
stripes, which are of very dark
green to begin with, soon change to
inky blackness The prevailing idea
that the chameleon takes upon him
self the peculiar hues of whatever he
is placed upon is as curious and wide.

boxes lined with red or blue silk, they

Washington, July 20.-Some days ago
Major Sylvester, chief of the District po-
lice force, purely as precautionary
measure. detailed detective to watch
the Chinese legation and prevent cranks
harming its inmates. Yesterday call ON
Secretary Hay by Major Sylvester gave
rise to rumors that the guard at the lega-
tion was to be materially increased be-
cause of the threats against the minis
ter's life. 1t was ascertained, however
that the purpose of the call was simply to
ascertain if the detail made had been
agreeable to the minister and to the de-
partment officials, who assured him it
was satisfactory to all.
