RED TAPE AT WEST POINT.
Future Army officers Are Very Early
Enmeshed in It.

W. +. Curtis, IN the Chicago hcvJId.
They have a queer, old-fashioned
"regular-army way" at West Point
OF keeping the finances OF the cadets,
which seems to have been invented
with a view of increasing the labor of
the treasurer and involving the boys
in red tape. Each cadet receives a
salary of $40 a year. and that amount
is put to his credit in installments OF
s45 a month. He is popularity sup
posed to provide his clothing, pay his
mess bill and other necessary per-
sonal expenses from this allowance,
but on the day he arrives at the aca-
deny the first charge made against
him is 60 cents for a book in which
his accounts are kept. Then on the
first day of his cadet life he draws
from the quartermaster the following
articles, which are charged to his ac-
count:

GREEKS WERE AUTHORS.
They Are said to Have Been the First
$ to Employ Punctuation Marks
e in Writing.

The art Of punctuation was developed
gradually from very ancient times.
Creek scrihes before the Christian era
used a wed~e-shaped sign CV) to mark
8 new para g-~ph Later pa u.. in The
sense was india>ted by a BLANK space,
point, and sometimes by a Slight OBJ
lique stroke or an apostrophe In Latin
manuscnpts the full points appear,
first, and are varton-Jy placed on a
level with the top, middle OF bottom of
the letters. TIL. inve.tann OF the mod
err system of purct uA tion nas been at
trib1ted to Aristoph anes, a gram
marian Of Alexandria. J~rome used
signs (comun~ta and cola) in his trans
lation OF the Scriptures, while IN early
EnghAh and II1sh manuscripts the COM
ma is used, and the fin al sn-,p Is marked
by one and sometimes two oramore full
points. With the advent of prin ting,
alton was greatly improved and
systems tacally adopted about the close
OF the fifteen tn century, mainly owing
to the Venetian printer, Manutius. It

BETTER THAN FLY PAPER.
A Mouse in PhiladelDhia which
Catches the Pests aad
Eats Them.

A tiny mouse that seems to have its
own way in all it cares to do has taken
up quarters in a bulk window on Chest
nut street, Philadelphia, The window
contains fine display of travelling
bags and dressing cases. and unoer
ordinary circnm ances the presence
OF the little innruder would not be
tolerated a minute. But this is not
an ordinary mouse. Instead of Gre
athng havoc and damage by gnaw,ng
holes in the valuable h>ss and er1ps
this particular mouse does a valuable
servi. e. to the firm by srr-ndlng its time
in catching the flies that are un~ise
enough to come w,thin re.ch. E-ery
eve~"-g after the store has n~en closed
an the clerks have gone home crowd
gathers on the pavement outside and
". oches the little fellow capture the
unwary h,es. 1t is wobt~vful per-
Torrance, and SO quick OF movement
and keen OF eye is the mocse that a
ty rarely escapes that it springs for.
The mouse's mode is sippIe and eff
fectual. Fem crouch,ng attitude
it waits until fly com es c,,.se enough.
then it straightens upon it's hind legs.
the two front paws, like tiny hands,
are thrust upward. and the unwary fly
is clutched and brought down. After
that the mouse eats the fly and then
gets ready to catch another.

PEOPLE EAT TOO MUCH.
Care for Many Diseases BY
PAiladelphia Physician.

Is Philad elphia ply sician OF note, Dr..
Edward 81. Dewey, claims to cure all
sorts Of diseases by starving his pa
tents. The brain, says this practi-
toner, never loses weight in either
E ickness or starvation. Usually the
mind remains clear when the body has
wasted away. The head is the power
house of the body. The stomach is
run by brain power. When the stom-
ach does too much work it makes too
great ademand upon the brain.
For more than 20 years. writes
this doctor, Il have permit ted my sick
to do without food 50 long ast there
was no desire for it. Not q mouthful
was enforced in. any case, not one
mouthful denied on the first hint Of
hunger.
In this I have had all the medical
textbooks and the entire medical pro-
fession 80 authority unquestioned
against me. That food is needed to
sustain the strength Of the sick has
never been after of question with
the medical profession.
Many of my sick have gone for more
than q month without food. One very
sick. in bed for more than month
with acute rheumatism, was able to
walk about the room on the fort sixth
day before the first food was taken.
Another patient, a woman of 81, went
until the forty-third day before she
broke her fast, and without any omis-
sion OF her ordinary duties. A dis
eased stomach was cured as the result
and now, after five years, there has
been no return of the trouble
Physicians are pretty generally
agreed that Americans eat too much
especially too much meat. The no
breakfast habit may not be 90 very
silly after all. ~

Tankards.

a The word tankard was originally
applied to a heavy and large vessel Of
wood banded with metal, in which to
carry water. Smaller wooden drink
ing tankards were subsequently made
and used through out Europe, and
were occasionally brought here blythe
colonists. A plainly shaped wood
tankard, made Of slaves and hoops, is
contained in a collection at Deerfeld
Memorial hall. It was found in the
house Of Rev. Eli Moody.

SHOW PHENOMENAL GROWTH.
The Leading Railway Systems of the
United States 80: -....

The process Of absorption Of small
er concerns by large corporations is
fully as marked among the railroads
as it is among the great manufacture
ing industries. The growth in mile
age of the largest roads is truly phe-
nomenal, and it will surprise our read
ers to learn that upon this continent
there are three separate systems, each
of which has a total mileage which
is almost half as great as the total
mileage of Great Britain. The largest
aggregation controlled by any one
company, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, is that Of the New Y ork Central
railroad, which totals 10,410 miles;
making very close second is the
Pennsylvania system with 10,392
square miles, while the great Ca
madam Pacific Overland route and
connections total 10,O18 miles. An
other transcontinental line of almost
equol size is the Southern Pacific,
which owns and controls 1862 miles.
There are four companies controlling
from 1000 to 5000 miles; seven COM
panies controlling from 5000 to
1000 miles; three companies from
5000 to 5000 miles, and nine COM
panies controlling from 1000 to
5000 miles of track, the total mile
age controlled by % companies being
nearly 100000 miles. Of the five
great transcontinental companies, the
Canadian Pacific and the Southern
Pacific with over 10000 and 5000
miles, respectively, are by far the
largest. The Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe comes next with Z, $50 miles,
followed 2by the Union Pacific with
1854, the Northern Pacific with 5, 5, 444499
and the Great Northern with 5,2O1
miles Of track.

MARKETS OF TIFNTsIN.
Great Variety Of Articles to Be Found
in These Picturesque Places.

Tientsin, China, the sskey to Pc
king" whicbShas been taken by the
troops Of the allied forces, is famous
as a market for the sturdy mountain
pony OF Manchuria. He,is not gentle
beast like the Shetland pony, but is
more like the broncho Of our western
plains with plenty Of strength and
spirit, and fine inventive powers in
the way Of vicious tricks to surprise
and injure the man who attempts to
break him to the saddle. No prettier
sight IS to beseen in the city than the
coming in Of the pony breeders on a
market day, each with his little flock
OF vigorous ponies who are as wild and
savage in their play as young tigers.
They bite and kick and scream and
charge like demons. And the worse
they behave the better the buyers
seem to like them, for the more intelli-
gent and difficult they are to control
the better they will be for racing and
polo playing, which is a favorite
amusement of the English residents
in China.
Beside the ponies wonderful little
figurines or statuettes, which the peas
ants of North China have so much
skill in modelling in the gray clay Of
the country, are offered for sale.
These little figures are often no more
than one inch and are never over ten
inches in height, but they are marvels
OF truthful representation Of charac-
tiers in everyday life, Mandarins and
beggars, soldiers, sailors, fishermen,
babes and grandfathers are modelled
with startling fidelity, and they are
often dressed in garments rich with
embroidery. r..
The peasants Of Pe-chi-li province
are also skillful in making artificial
flowers out of silk and paper. For this
purpose they have over 100 varieties
Of paper made in perfect imitation Of
petal and leaf tissues of plants, includ-
ing grasses with parallel ribs, and a
wax paper for orange blossoms. They
also make oils from the peanut, bean,
mustard seed, peppermint, hazel nut
and various fruits. And they make
so kinds Of -four, using not only
wheat, but corn, rice, millet, buck
wheat, beans, chestnuts, acorns, al
monds, peach seeds, potatoes and
acorns. And every sort Of green
fruit and vegetable that can be, is
dried and reduced to powder. In this
way they get wonderful variety of
seasonings for the sauces, soups,
salads and desserts for which the Chi
nese are as famous as the French
Little Chronicle.

The SNAKES, WELL.
Most Awful Of the Many Cruel Methods
of Torturing BY Chinese.

u 401tuI1ng ~ Cn1nese.
Death by the thousand cuts, while
perhaps the most painful, is not the
most fendisbly ingenious Of Chinese
modes Of execution. It does not APP
peal to the Imagination with half the
horror Of the snakes we'll.
The snakes well is dark pit ten
anted with serpents and all yenomous
things that creep and crawl. The vic
tim IL is suspended in it by the heels,
with his face close to the bottom.
That is the end Of him. Ifhe is cursed
with much imagination he probably
dies Of horror. That failing, he is
likely to succumb to the venom Of his
fellow-prisoners. In any event, he
would die Of starvation. All Of which
appeals to the Chinese sense Of humor.
William Gorham, Of. the Gorham
Rubber company, who returned from
Canton the other day, witnessed the
decapitation Of II pirates This is
how he describes it:
''Their hands were loosely tied to-
gether with pieces Of rope, their
queues hanging down their backs. AS
the executioner advanced to his duty
an assistant preceded him, carrying a
stake sharpeped at both ends to a
point. -. 1 ;.
cone end of this stick was driven
into the earth just in front of the
criminal; then the executioners as
slstant caught hold Of the Chinaman's
queue and slowly drew him forward
and downward, taking care not to use
undue consideration in shortening
the process. When he had drawn the
body, sufficiently low over. the sharp
ened stick he gave the queue quick
tug, driving the stake into the Grim
ll 1lls abdomen and impaling him
firmly.
"Then he held the queue uncon-
cernedly while the executioner raised
his weapon and brought it. down
swiftly on the criminals neck, sever
ing the head from the body T..
"A host Of uninterested Celestials
were standing about: Here and there
was a policeman whacking anyone he
chose, regardless of offense, and the
hoodlum element was busy teasing
and tossing little stones at the con-
demned. ~ -. -.
"The man who were yet to die
casually watched the performance,
and the eleventh calmly looked on
while the other ten were dispatched
and their heads thrown in a pile on
one side. Probably he enjoyed the
good show up to the last and consid
cred himself fortunate to have been
allowed the entertainment of seein
his companions killed. -. ! :
"Some of the heads were chopped
off evenly, leaving little stumps at
tached; others were cut off close be-
hind the ears, but one of them was
sliced off at slant angle.
, y ''The criminal before him had lust
been executed and his feet were still
kicking about and his body writhing.
AS the executioner raised his ak the
man who was being executed turned
MS head, with leisure]y curiosity, to
observe the death throes of the former
victim just as the ak fell. so his own
head was sliced off smoothly, but in
such manner that it would have to
be set upon steep incline to bring
the face level.
Later relatives and close friends
came and carried away the heads Of
the criminals" N. Y. Journal.
