SAN FRANCISCO April lg.-When Cen
eral Shafter was in command Of the First
I7fantry some years ago he oonIived to
have his regiment moved from Angel ISL
and to the Preside. while the artillery in
the garrison was sent 10 the island.
Many officers declared that this was
rank favoritism and especially unjustifa
Bile because there are no shore batteries
on the island. and the proper place for ar
tillery is on the peninsula.
So long as Alger, who was Shafter's s
friend, remained in power il was impOs-
stble TO change the arrangement. but now
Major General Miles. with the consent Of
Secretary Root, has issued an order for

that the surgeon merely called on his own

GOOD TEMPER.
II Is Too Often at Discount In DomostI,

II Is Too Often ut Discount in Domestic
Life.
1t would almost seem as If in some
homes premium were set upon ill-
temper so vigorously do the fretful
and the perverse members of the family
rule the house. The greatest pains are
taken, for example, not to annoy
brother John, because, unfortunately,
he has querulous and fault-fnding
disposition, which he INDUCES, un-
checked by fear lest he shall trample
on the feelings of the rest. Whatever
else one may or may not do, he or she
must be careful to avoid the topics
which stir up Aunt Kate or Uncle
Reuben, because they are, albeit excel
lent people and the salt of the earth,
apt to fly off the handle at the slightest
provocation. Even fractions child Is
often weakly considered at the expense
of his more amiable brothers and Sis
ters; it is so disagreeable TO, have fuses
and scenes and so much pleasanter for
every one to have peace in the home.
In the case of child this is dread
fully mistaken course TO pursue; for
the poor little soul, who might have
been gently helped to control wrong
impulses and to repress selfish utter
ances, is simply allowed to grow in the
direction of evil, andSby and by will
have terrible task in eradicating de-
plorable faults
Good temper should not be ut dis
count in domestic life. Nobody, from
the heads of the household to the serv-
ants In the kitchen or the nursery
brood, should be permitted to tyrannize
over the others, and crossness is the
worst form of tyranny. 1t may re-
quire tirmuess to set up barrier against
the aggressions of the ill.natured, but
it ought to be done, and steady deter.
mination never to give way to demands
or allow claims made by the family
despot should be maintained.
There must always have been be-
ginning in the history of every In
dividual and OF every home, q begin.

plant peeping up from the ground, but
its weedy growth, once fairly started,
is always rapid. In married life.
