Queer Creatures.

There are microscopic creatures
which live in roof cutters and on the
bark Of trees and are known as water
bears and wheel animalcul8. If allow
ed to dry up under the microscope, they
can be seen to shriveI into shapeless
masses, which may be kept for years
uninjured in the dried state.
On being placed after this long inter
val in water they gradually plump up,
resume their proper shape and move
about in search Of food just as if moth
ing had happened. Much the same is
true for the minute worms which from
the substances in which they live are
known as paste and vinegar cells. Well
known is the famous case of the desert
snail, which, retracted into it's shell,
was fastened to a tablet in the British
museum and showed no sign of life for
seven years, when one morning it was
found crawling hungrily about the
glass case that formed it's prison.

FOE His Reputation. $500.

The proprietor of a large dry goods
store had decided to tear down the old
building and erect a new one in it's
stead. In furtherance of this plan he
was removing his goods to temporary
quarters in another building.
The goods were nearly all out of the
old structure when from some I'M
known cause it caught fire. The de-
partment was promptly on hand and
soon had a stream playing on the
flames, but the merchant was wild
with excitement Running up to the
chief, he urged him to greater haste.
''Neyer mind the gOods!' he shouted.
"Save the building! I'll give the boys
a check for $500 for their pension fund
if they don't let the fire spread beyond

building down anyway, aren't you"

I'm His Sleeve.

At the battle of Omdurman a soldier
belonging to a Scotch regiment was
nearly killed by bullet which struck
the ground just in front of him while
he was firing in reclining position.
On rising to move a few feet forward,
something came down his sleeve It
was the bullet. How it got up his
sleeve without inficting damage can
only be accounted for by the fact that
it must have been spent by the time it
struck the ground in front of him and
the course of it's flight up his sleeve
was it's last billet.

The Life of a Coal Miner.


First, the boy of eight or ten is sent
to the breaker to pick the slate and 9th
er impurities from the coal which has
been brought up from the mine. From
there he is promoted and becomes a
door boy, working in the mine. AS he
grows older and stronger he is adj
vanced to the position and given the
pay of a laborer. There he gains the
experience which secures him a place
as miners helper, and as he acquires
skill and strength he becomes, when in
the height of his manhood and vigor, a
full fiedged miner.
If he is fortunate enough to escape
the falls of rock and coal, he may re-
tain this position as a miner for a mum.
Der of years. But as age creeps on and
he is attacked by some of the many
diseases incident to work in the mines
he makes way for those younger and
more vigorous following him up the
ladder whose summit he has reached.
He then starts on the descent, going
back to become miners helper, then
a mine labOrer, now a door boy, and
when old and decrepit he finally re-
turns to the breaker where he started
as child, earning the same wages as
are received by the little urchins who
work at his side. There is no incen-
tive for ambition in the average min
er's life. He cannot rise to places of
eminence and wealth, Only / in 500
can even be given place as a foreman
or superintendent, and these are posi-
lions which few miners care to hold

patrick left Manila on that date.
Quartermaster General Ludington re-
ceived Wednesday from Colonel Miller, at
Manila, cablegram reporting the Kill

triumph for the Republican party.
But while the rank inconsistency of
these decisions is in the last analysis
attributable to one Justice only. the de
cision Of that Justice stands as the
judgment Of the court. and the whole
court is necessarily affected in public
estimation. As stated at the outset,
this is deplorable. Every true Amer
lean should delight to honor and revere
the judicial branch of the national Gov
ernment, and particularly its highest
court, but this cannot be unless the aC-
ton of the court is in harmony with the
exalted purpose for which it was de-
signed. The court and its members will
be judged by the same rules and stand
ards that are applied to private indi-
viduals. Inconsistency and self-contra-
diction Will be condemned wherever
they appear. and even more strongly
when manifested by such a body as the
Supreme Court than when shown by
men in private life because of the
court more, far more, is expected.

ENTITLED TO EXTRA PAY.
a Corporal Allowed Compensation
for Photographic Work.

Adjuta1t General Corbin, by direction
Of the Assistant Secretary of War, on
May 20 requested a decision from the
Comptroller Of the Treasury as TO the
right of Patrick Morgan, corporal in
Company D, Battalion Of Engineers, to
extra duty pay while serving as photOg-
rapher in the Department OF Practical
Military Engineering at the United States
Military Academy
In passing on the question, Robert ].
Traceweil Comptroller Of the Treasury,
stated that Morgan was detailed on thss
duty by special orders from heaGquar-
ters, United States Military Academy.
and that the question of payment of ex-
ira duty pay in this case was submitted
to the Judge Advocate General of the
Army, who held that it was the inten-
tion of Congress TO provide appropriation
for paying for the extra services of
competent person.
Comptroller TraceweH concluded: II
agree with the Judge Advocate General
that IL was the intention of Congress TO
provide for the payment of such enlisted
man as might be detailed, regardless of
his grade The words first sergeant des-
ignate the person TO be detailed, but L
think such designation is merely direc-
tory, not mandatory, or, at least. that il
is TO be regarded as subject TO modi1ica-
ton if required by the exiSeRcies of the
service.
The necessity for the duty is the same
whether performed by a first sergeant or
by some other person, and If no first ser
geant is available, 1t is permissible, under
the law. to detail an enlisted man OF a
different grade who is found to be com
pctont. and the enlisted man so detailed
is entitled to the extra duty pay pro-
Vided for by the act. Upon the preSenta-
tiOn of the proper vouchers to the dis
bursting officer, payment may be made 10
