course an ordinary business man finding 1t necessary to investigate the conduct of an efnploye so far away would send the investigator out in an ordinary mer- chant ship. That would cost only few hundred dollars But 1t would not do to transact the business of the navy in that undignified manner. So the admiral is go- ing out in his flagship, surrounded by all the pomp and paraphernalia of war.
 There is by the way, nothing that eats coal faster than one of the new battle ships of the Wisconsin class.
 The transport Soiace is carrying the officers who will try the captain If the admiral brings in an indictment against him. They are Rear Admiral Evans, Captains Glass, Cooper, Thomas, Har- rington, Meyers and Reiter of the navy, and Captain Meyers of the marine corps, who will be the judge advocate. These officers might have also been sent out on a merchant ship, or if etiquette de- manded their conveyance. on war yes- sel. there was the Wisconsin. But that would have given rise to an unparalleled situation. Two admirals on one warship Impossible! They would have had no place to fly their pennants.
 The trial once set in motion will be one of the most expensive the navy has ever known. It will be seen from the table given below that the surplus in the treas ury will have been reduced by more than $50,O00 when the accounts have been ad- indicated
 Coal will be the chief item in the ex- pense bill. The Wisconsin and Solace will burn many tons of it every day. An exceedingly careful estimate Is that they | will dispose of at least 2500 tons more l than they would have consumed had they been left riding at anchor at the Mare l Island Navy Yard
 Good steaming coal on the Pacific coas l is worth $S a ton. The coal account therefore, will stand the government tn, tidy sum of $20,000. It Is thought pos sibie that the officers composing tn, court, after they have discharged thei duties, will be returned to the Unite, States on an ordinary passenger steamer l If that be done the vouchers will show that perhaps 5000 was paid out for pas sage tickets and fees to the stewards

immediate development. The more you waste the more you make.
 Mr. wood-Physical culture, then, fin reality means first of all mental culture, and that a man with strong concentra- ton of mind will develop quicker in the quality of his muscle?
 Sandow-Yes, 1t is mental first, physi- cal afterward. The whole secret of my system lies in the knowledge of human anatomy--in knowing just where one Is weak, and going straight to work bring ing that particular part up to the stand ard of ones best feature, for there is a best feature in every man as there is also worst. And yet as chain is as strong only as its weakest link, so is the body strong only as its weakest member. The secret is to Know myself" as Pope says, and knowing ones weakness, to concentrate the mind and energies upon that weakness with a view to cor recting 1t.
 MT. Wood-What about mechanical ap- pliances, MT. Sandow? Do you approve of them?
 Sandow-I approve of everything that aids the mind in its domination over the body. But if a man thinks that two dollars will buy an apparatus that will make him strong he will be disappointed There is nothing that will make man strong save his own concentration of thought. Would you give a man dic- tionary and ask him to write "Reces- sional'' simply because the dictionary contains all the words in Kiplings mas terpiece? Mechanical appliances prop erly used may develop some weakness of the body but without a knowledge of that weakness, and certainly without severe concentration and effort to cor ie. to n mi chanisms. They may make muscle, but what is muscle without intelligence be- hind 1t? The first thing the would-be athlete discovers is that through ignor- ance he has piled up muscle where 1t is absolutely useless hard when relaxed, and he becomes muscle bound. The test of muscle Is that when relaxed 1t is ss soft as a babes, and when contracted hard as steel. It Is only intelligence that can do that. No mere mechanical appli- ance alone will ever achive 1t.
 MT. Woodland what about wrestling boxing and other violent exercise?
 Sandow-very good, if intelligentiS carried out. l got into my first wrest- ling match at the age of 19. It was one of my first public exhibitions, and came near being my last. Just before going onto the mat to meet an "unknown." a friend came to me and said, with much alarm, Eugene. the adversary with whom you are going to wrestle Is an ex- convict. The last man he wrestled is St. Pohan, seven years ago, he stabbed in the abdomen with his two fingers-so like a poniard. Look out for if he finds you are getting the best of 1t he will attempt your life in the same way" replied, We will see about that" and went to the mat with the "unknown."

The coiffure who reslly takes an inter- est in his patrons locks tells them that every hair touched by the curling iron Is doomed. He add. moreover, that many young women who five years ago made their living varying customers locks to- day are engaged in making wigs to cover the ball spots on those customers heads. Women realize so thoroughly themselves now that the hot irons did injure their dresses that all artificial means of curl ing the hair are looked upon with sus- picion. Even the roller, pronounced harmless isn't very popular.
 The sensible woman, when she must have waves. and nature has denied them to her. dampens her hair and ties tape around her head bandeau fashion. If this is done a half hour before 1t is time to make a grande toilette, and the hair is not of Indian straightness. it will be beautiful when the time comes to re- move the bandages, showing a wave much more attractive than were the old kinky curls. If this isn't effective. my lady likely as not, without further ado puts her hair back softly from her brow and looks as we'll as does her curled sis- tar.

Unknown out of business and came near sending me to jail. However, there are times when expedients of this kind are justified-indeed are compulsory.
 MT. Woodland you gave up wrestling after that? Fr
 Sandow-Not altogether. I still wres- tie now and then for exercise. but not in any such brutal way as was the old method. when wrestlers rarely left the mat without broken rib or dislocated shoulder.
 MT Wood-It Is easy to dislocate joint when one knows anatomy and its n amy weak points?
 Sandow-Yes, indeed. I had a man in England who was freak on dislocation. I could throw his shoulder or hip out of joint without giving him the least pain. I sometimes used him in demon strating The trouble is, however, that when you teach people these tricks there is danger of their using them to foul advantage They may call it self-de- fence, but it is too often used to over whelm an innocent adversary. That is why I seldom teach these Oriental arts. although I am well acquainted with it. It is too much like giving an ire sponsible man a pistol and teaching him to shoot The chances are that he will not merely use, but some time or other abuse the knowledge gained.
 MT. Wood-How about medicines and diet?
 Sandow-I never touch drugs, and cer- tainly never diet. To be strong does not mean that you must forego the common pleasures of life taken in moderation On the contrary, I always enjoy them The secret is exercise-intelligent, con stant exercise To know every muscle of the three hundred and sixty-three or more. yes. every fibre of them. and to develop them to the fullest capacity this will overcome any physical ill We

 MT. Wood--Your efforts, then. are par ticularly In behalf of the youth of the present generation, MT. Sandow?
 Sandow-Decidedly. The results of my simple system of self-culture in physical development have been so fiatterng that l hope to be able to grdle the world with a chain of schools, with the direct end in view of raising the physical standard of the generation to the highest point. Every man has desire to put the re- suits of his investigations and labors to practical utilitarian uses, and my ann bition is to establish in every enlighten- ed community the means whereby the weak may become strong and the strong stronger. and to interest philintrophlsts and statesmen to the accomplishment of this great end.

The curling tong that with or without silver handles, once ornamented every woman's dressing table is now no more seen. It has been relegated to the modern equivalent of the garret. to rust in com pany with the old-fashioned bureaus. lambrequins and casters that have found their way there.
 The woman who must curl her hair now gives it a kink oftener than not by means of kid rollers. The curl paper hasn't been seen for ages, and to wear 1t is considered the achme of squalid dressing. The roller. into which 1t has es olved, is countenanced sometimes even by the woman who boasts that there's not a pin in the whole of her toilet. and who never went en neglige in her life; but 1t isn't beautiful.

The writer takes for granted that Sir Robert Hart sanctioned the Idea When foreign lands are abolishing lotteries, China takes them up.

The whole schemesi sis disgraceful. Lotteries are subversive os regular business. They enrich few sx the loss of many. How foolish to look to such source for revenue. when there are countless mines undeveloped. and end less waste lands ready to be reclaimed The worst of it is that the government af- ready runs several lotteries. and there are frequent attempts at legalfzing others for famine or flood relief.

<, fiE most expensive officer at E~ present in the Governments
 employ is Capt. B. F. Tilley,
 "a commandant of the naval sta tion at Tutuila, Samoa.
 But this can be claimed as no special distinction by Captain Tilley. who will not benefit in the least by the thousands of dollars whose expenditure he has oc- casioned. On the contrary this genial officer Is decidedly under a cloud. Not because he Is not capable officer. That charge might be more summarily treat ed. But because he Is said to have dined too we'll and because the after effects have been prejudical to his use fulness as a navy officer.
 Samoa, according to the Captain, has a parched climate. A commandant in the navy has a certain amount of leis- ure. Captain Tilley, in particular, has an excellent taste in wines and liquors and no niggardly hand in dispensing them At least so runs the charge against him which the Government Is now so desirous of refuting or substan- tiating that 1t has equipped one of the most remarkable expeditions on record simply to determine whether or not Cap tain Tilley has during the past two years drunk too deeply or too long.

 Sandow-I can answer that in word by assuring you that so far as heredity Is concerned I had nothing to be espec- iaily thankful for. since, while still mere lad my fathers friends advised him to direct my studies toward the min istry, as, they explained, Your son will hardly be fit for any asore strenuous oc- cupation" Later our family physician in Koenigsberss near the Russian from tier, told my father that if he did not take me to Italy for the winter would never survive it, such a weakiing I was as child.

 MT. Wood-What about men Of ad- vanced years? Would you apply the same principle to them as to men in early prime?
