HOW GRANT LOST HIS HIRAM.
prtvsd the General Forever
of Ms Real yaAs.

Not many Americans know that
Hiram U. Grant was the eighteenth
PRECEDENT of the United States. Yet it
is true, for Ulysses Simpson" was
never legally the name Of our greatest
general. This intsresting fact is
brought out by Franklin B. Wiley, in
Ladies' Home Journal, in Famous
People as We Do Not Know Them"
The story of how it came about was
told by member of consress-Thom-
a. L. Hamer-who recommended young
Grant as . candidate for West Point in
1899. Mr.. Hamer had long been a
friend Of the Grants, but when he came
to make out the application pa pers for
Ulysses he could not recall the boys
full name. So. deciding that he was
doubtless named for his mothers fam
lily. he wrote it Ulysses Simpson
Grant" Thus was il recorded at West
Point, and though the attention OF the
officials was several times called to the
error they did not feel authorized to
correct it. The name was gradually
adopted, and by 1t Grant was, and al
ways will be, known. But as for any
record Of the birth Of Ulysses Smp-
son Grant," that does not exist.

TAKE OUT JocKo's BRAIN.
Recent Experiment of Scientists
Shows Eject on Monkey of Loss
Of Gray Matter.

No convincing proof has yet been
given that any particular portion OF
the brain is exclusively concerned in
intellectual operations, says the Pop
ular Science Monthly. Goltz, the
most prominent representative OF
the dwindling band who still refuse
to believe in the localization even OF
the motor functions, has lately pub
lished an interesting paper contain
ing the results OF observations on a
monkey which was carefully watched
for IL years after the removal of
the greater part OF the gray matter
OF the middle and interior portions
of the left hemisphere of the brain.
The character of the animal, whose
little tricks and peculiarities had
been studied for months before the
operation, was entirely unaffected.
All its traits remained unaltered.
On the other hand. disturbances of
movements on the right side were
very noticea ble up to the time Of it's
death. 1t learned again to use the
right limbs, but there WAS always a
certain clumsinsss in their move
ments. In actions requiring only
one hand the right was never will
ingly employed, and il evidently cost
the animal a greet effort to use it
Before the operation it would give
either the right or left hand when
asked for it. After the operation 1t
always gave the left till by a long
course of training. in which fruit or
Jumps Of sugar served as the re-
wards Of virtue. 1t learned again to
give the right.

owns Upton lake. IL miles from the

II has been Mr.. Sage's custom for
the last three years to turn his rnil-

one day in the summer. intrusting the
arrangements entirely to Superin-
tenden, Madison, of the Rescue mis-
sion. Mr.. Madison has in turn made
the occasion bright spot in the lives
of the little ones. There were fully
1000 OF them. not to mention
200 or 800 mothers and big sisters
and aunta.
Everything was as free as the air
for the children, but the grown-ups
were required to pay IS cents for the
round trip. Lunch was served under
the trees and the children had a grea,
day romping on the swings and
Inerry-go-round and in the boats on
the lake. Mr.. Sage WAS expected to
be present and make an address to
the little ones. but he was detained in

HOW CHINAMRN GET IN.
Discovery Made of Scheme by which
Cslestials Eater In Great MN.
bsrs Into This Country.

Discoveries have just been made,
says a Santa Barbara (Cal) special to
the San Francisco Chronicle, which
are believed to establish conclusiyely
that Wholesale smuggling of Chimes,
from British Columbia into the United
States through Santa Barbara has
been carried on. The revenue official,
were notified several weeks ago and
for three weeks the revenue cutter
McCuloch has been cruising in tn,
waters of Santa Barbara channel in
search of evidence. The smuggling
scheme is outlined as follows:
Lumberladen vessels leave Puget
Sound for southern California points,
and. after getting well out to sea, run
over to Vancouver, B. c., and pick VI
Chinese, which are ostensibly shipped
AS part of the crew. Some of these
vessels put in to Port Hartford, San
Pedro and other ports with crews
more than twice as large as necessary.
When sailing for the north the crews
consist almost exclusively Of white
sailors.
Another method adopted is the land
ing OF Chinese on one of the islands in
the channel, and they are brought to
Santa Barbara as Abalone fishermen.

watch and Wait, says Koch

Prof Robert Koch, in explaining his
recent London address on conKump-
tion. declares that experiment with
actual facts is the only method of
fighting the disease. To the Berlin
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald he declared that argument
could not in any manner forward the
matter. Statistics will not accomplish
what experiment alone can do.
DR.. Koch said il was now demon
stra.ed that human tuberculosis could
not be transmitted to cattle. By care
full watching the reverse OF this would
be indisputably proved.
He did not wish to dismantle all the
expensive systems of regulation. in
spection and prevention now in vogue,
but he thought it wise not to add to
these systems useless appendages,
The remedy, he believes. is almost
within reach.

WANT GOOD SOLDIERS
Gen. Miles Issues Order Intended to
Improve Conditions Of Army.
Qualities of Patriotisrv DisoiDlins,
Physioal DeveloDnsLk, sslf-Rs-
spsst, sslf-Rsliance, and Re-
sourcslulness Arc Bsssntial.

Gen. Miles, commander Of the army,
has issued a general order intended to
improve the conditions OF the army. II
admonishes officers and men regarding
their duties and points out the essen
tials Of good soldier, specifically men
tioning patriotism, discipline, physical
development, self-respect, self-re-
lance and resourcefulnsss, also add
ing that pr OCCASIONAL kno owIsdgs is nee
essary at all times.
The following are extracts from the
order:
"Of these principles patriotism is OF
the arst and paramount Importance.
An absolute and unqualified devotion
to the welfare Of their country of all
in the military service san indispensa-
bic prerequisite that constitutes the
soul of an efficient army.
The second principle. discipline.
distinguishes thoroughly trained and
instructed troops from an irresponsi-
be, unwieldy and disorderly aggrega-
ton of men. Respect for and implicit
ODE dience to superior authority are its
essential characteristics. Officers will
always be exemplary in department.
will exercise justice and impartiali,y
and will be considerate in their con
duct toward all subordinates.
"The third principle is the highest
possible physical development that
will render the soldier capable Of the
greatest endurance. To this end ath-
letic games are superior to prescribed
gymnastics that require special appa-
ratus, and marches OF increasing
length at attention to those at route
step with shambling gait and irregular
cadence.
The fourth principle Of importance
comprises self-respect, self-reliance
and reSourcefulness. These qualities
are in large measure inherent in the
American soldier
The fifth principle il that Of the
greatest efficiency in professional
knowledge"

Esw Pith for Csllaloss,

The Marsden Cellulose company. Of
Rockford, H., which furnithes the
corn pith cellulose for all Of Uncle
Sans warships and has just completed
q large plant at West Point on the
York river. is experimenting with a
new material in the production of this
valuable article, which will open up a
profitable market TO farmers and own
ers of marsh lands. 1t now has force
of men at work in the marshes around
the mouth Of the Mataponi river cut
ting the tall, pithy grass growing
there. The pith in this grass, 1t is
said. is equivalent to the corn stalk
pith and much cheaper to grow, cut
and handle.
The West Point mill will spend some
thing like $4,000 a year for its pith
material. The bulk Of its product will
be utilized in the wcrship building
at Newport News, Va.

THEY CALLED THE BIRDS.
nut the sportsmen Discovered, 70
Their ChnRrin, That They Were
Answering Each Other.

A well-known sportsman who has
recently been trying his luck with 9
gun in a neighboring state in which the
"open season" has begun, tells story
which illustrates the skill some gun
ners acquire in the use of the bird
whistle, says the Chicago Chronicle.
On this particular day in fall the birds
had not been flying well and the gun
ners who had been out since early
morning were one by one leaving for
their homes. On his way home over
the marshes one Of them was on the
lookout for grass birds and when he
beheld a flock about to alight he at
once crouched down in the tall grass
by the edge Of creek and began call
ing.
1t happened that another gunner
who was about to give up his days
work heard the sharp and repeated
whistling OF what he supposed were
grass birds, and, quickly raising his
gun, he, too, picked up his whistle and
began to call. First the man in the
tall grass would whistle, then the man
in the adjoining stand would answer,
and this was kept up for long time,
until it got so dark that had the birds
flown past either gunner they could
not have seen them. Presently the
gunner who was crouching in the tall
grass ventured to rise and scan the
marshes, when to his surprise and
chagrin he saw the gunner in the stand
do likewise. Neither wished to ac-
knowledge that he had been deceived
by the others whistle, so they quietly
disappeared in different directions
without exchanging a word.

Lsss Crime In ireland.

4 gratifying decrease in crime in
Ireland is shown in the report of
the general prisons board for the
year 1900. During the year 32,924
criminal prisoners were committed,
showing a reduction Of 3,10s on the
number Of committals in 1890. The
during the half century has been
very remarkable. In 1855 the total
was 3,427, and last year the number
was only 320. The decrease is due,
says the report, not only to the
fewer number Of sentences and penal
servitude imposed, but also to the
smaller average length of such SEN
tence.
