Civilians usually assume that in the
regular army West Point graduates vir-
tually monop0lize the commissions.
The common belief Is that the private
or non-cOmmissioned officer has no OPP
pOrtunlty to rise to the rank of lieuten-
ant, captain or colonel. The truth is
that the majority of our army officers
of the higher ranks are not West Point
ers, and that many of them have been
promoted from the ranks of the regu-
lar army. Lieutenant General Miles be-
gan his military life as lieutenant in a

1861. The men of the company elected

Students of social conditions In En-
gland are tending toward the cOnclu'
sion that the humane sentiment of
modern society Is productive OF harm
In some OF Its phases. The Spectator
recently showed that the comfortable
housing of paupers In London, with all
Its great benefits, has had u bad effect
In increasing pauperism. During the
Boer war and the prosperity OF the last
year 1t was impossible to get enough
men In London to do all the work Of
fered, yet the almshouse population
showed no falling of. There were
thousands of new occupants. In the
same way the too lenient treatment OF
habtual criminals seems to be having
bad effect, as shown by Robert An
derson, Assistant Commissioner of Po
lice in London, in an article In the
Nineteenth Century. Mr.. Anderson
shows by official statistics that crimes
by professional offenders have steadily
increased In London since the trans
portation of such criminals was abol
lshcd In 1867. While the total number
of fclonies has shown a gratifying de
crease, the number of otfenses by pro
fessional criminals has grown eacl
year. Within the last half century thu
burglaries in London have increased
fifteen-fOld, and professional Offense'
of other kinds have shown n similar In
crease. Mr.. Anderson believes this II
due to the milder punishments which
the general decrease of crime has made
possible. Men who deliberately choose
a life of crime are taking advantage OF
the humane sentiment which permits
them to escape with short terms. The!
should be treated more stringently thar
the ordinary law breaker. The pOin
Mr.. Anderson makes is valid. He say

1t Is said on good authority that mag.
azincs for children are disappearing.
There Is not the demand for them there

mean that children are reading less, but
their reading Is of a different kind.
They prefer books to magazines. They

schools has been an important factor
Of late In developing In children taste
for good literature. Not only the read.
Ing book proper, with Its best selections
from the best authors, Is placed In the
hands OF the child. but the reading mat.
ter supplementary to this, which has
been chosen with wise care, Is also a
part Of the child's education. Entire
stories from Scott, Hawthorne, Louisa

and host of other writers are given t.
children as supplementary reading mat
ter. This has undoubtedly Influenced
their taste for classics and for standard
works whose value Is unquestioned. II
the higher grades entire plays OF
Shakespeare are read, and the child who
leaves the grammar school has had tn,

Are angels men? asks Il. d. Trescot
In Temple Magazine, and he points out
that all the angels one ever reads or
are men. To this the London Academy
replies that while In literature angels
are men, In art, they are wOmen-the
reason for the difference seeming to be
literary ana artistic demands. Neither
fact that all the angels one meets In
daily life are women, nor does either
note the passing fancy that all the min
lstering angels In current literature are
women. Wings on angels seem to
have been the result of an evolutionary
process, for the earliest angels of whom
we have any knowledge are not de-
scrlbcd rs having wings. Evidently
those who appeared to Abraham and to
Lot We're without wings, and, while In
the new testament the seraphim and
cherubim are described us winged an
gels proper, these who communicated
Gods message to man were wingless.
The poet Nonnus, who lived in Egypt
In the NTH century, Is the first on rec
ord to speak of angels wings. Since
then what splendOr OF color, what va
riegated beauty and delicacy of tint
has been found In these heavenly be-
ings, whom Dante was pleased to call
birds OF God" AS the word angel
signifies messenger, 1t was natural that
this order of beings should take on
wings, which indicate speed. Hermes,
the Greek messenger of the gods, with
winged feet, Is shown also with wings
on his golden sandals, ON his broad.
brimmed hat and on his caduceus, or
staff. He does not take on a birdlike
form, with wings on his back. The
modern idea of an angel Is associated
with kindness, sympathy and healing

TO examine house recently built, no
larger than his, which cost nearly $10,-
600, which in some respects was treated
similar to his. After he had examined
and studied the work that was being
done he was convinced that we were
right and that his objections were the re-
suit of ignorance on the subject. 1t is
just this want of knowledge that we have
to contend with every day.
Having occasion to see this house a
few days ago. we observed that it had
been painted entirely different from what
we had specified it to be. The prevailing
color was white. with dark trimming,

The bay window is a nice feature. In
fact, it is model home for the farmer

were built by the owner with stone on

The crisp fall days have caused the
president to abandon horseback riding

joys the outing as much as does the

When the president goes walking in
the suburbs he attires himself in the
proper costume, drives out beyond the
city limits, leaves his carriage, and
after enjoying the exercise, which he
needs, he returns TO his carriage, which
