ONE COWsKIN.
An Instance of German Military
Thrift and Red Tapeism.

An instance Of military thrift and of
a red tape system which is not peculiar
to Germany comes from the Hrussian
war Office. In 1896 the guards were
Ircakfasting hurriedly. They had on
the previous day fought the battle Of
Soor and had accomplished altogether
a nine DAYS march. This was not the
era Of canned meats, and TO each regi-
ment had been allotted n certain num-
Der Of cattle which had been killed,
skinned and cooked, but while the men
were still eating scouts came in with
the news that the Austrians were near
at hand.
The men got into marching order and
In a few minutes We're i'm rapid ad-
vance toward the enemy. The Grena-
dier guards. conspicuous always for
their dispatch. hurried to such purpose
that they failed TO secure the skin Of
a COW which had been made over to
them for rations.
When the official who was response
bic for the value Of the hide came to
ask for it. il had TO be reported miss
ing. Inquiries were set on foot, evil
dence was collected, and voluminous
correspondence lasting fourteen or fif-
teen months failed TO account for the
skin.
There had been a COW. She had been
made over TO the guards. She had a
hide. The hide was government prop
erty. representing a sum fixed by Off
cial tariff. The government must be
credited with that sum. The hide was
not Forthcoming. Who should be re-
sponsiblc fer its cash value?
1t was at last decided that the colonel
cf the regiment should be held account
able. and n year and n half after the
conclusion OF the seven weeks war
lie was requested by the war office to
remit the sum Of 3 thalcrs, the price
cf one cowsl;in lost by the Grenadier
guards. When the sum was paid. the
subject was at last officially dropped.

During the early eXcesses Of the
French revolution a rabblc of men aud
women were riotiDg il the streets Of
Paris. Lafayette appeared and ordered
a young artillery officer to open fire
upon them with two cannon. The Of
ficer begged the general to let him try
first to persuade them to withdraw.
ut is useless to appeal to their rea-
son." said the general.
Certainly" answered the officer,
"and 1t is not TO their reason, but to
their vanity, would appeal"
The officer rode up to the front of the
mob, doffed his cooked hat, pointed to
the guns and said:
Gentlemen will have the kindness to
retire, for | am ordered to shoot down
the rabble."
The street was cleared at once, for
none could brook the idea Of being
classed with the scum Of the city.

Concerning Polar Bears.

= polar bear would not have chance
in stalking seals If II were of a darker
color The only black spot about it is
he tip Of its nose. The sailors who
first landed or the unezplored Arctic
Shores stated that the bears used TO take
them for seals, and begin to stalk them
at q considerable distance, lying down
Tat on their bellies and wriggling along
in that position until they came to an
ice hummock. when they would get up,
peer over to see II the seals" were
alarmed. and wriggIe on again. The
London Spectator" in an article on
Arctic animals, gives the following:
The sailors state that they could al
ways see the black nose when the bear
got near. but vowed that the bear put
his paw over his muzzle TO hide IT, The
Arctic foxes, the blue hare. the ptar-
migan. rype, and ermine all undergo the

were soon detected. However, Captain
Abbott is unable to tell whether or not
this 1904 dollar is genuine. AS a result
It was forwarded to the chief of the
Secret Service Department at Washing

The coin in question was obtained by
the Government officials from B. H.
Smith, at Lima, Ohio, few days ago,

II is said that he is a gambler who
Travelled all over tn, State While on
one Of his trips he went TO Lima, where
he became stranded. He paTtook heavily
Of morphine it is claimed. and acted
strangely Smith visited pawnbrokeT,
and wanted to pawn the supposed 1904
dollar for S25- The pawnbroker knew
be value of the 1904 dollar and became
, suspicious, and reported the matter 20
the police, who in turn reported to the
United States authorities The latter
decided TO arrest Smith as they were
strongly CT the opinion that the dollar
was a counterfeit
Smith is now in Jail at Toledo await
ing the decision Of the authorities at
Washington as to whether or not the
dollar is a counterfeit. The whole case
ainst Smith hinges upon this decision.

DEFINES PAY OF NAVAL
OFFICERS WHEN ASHORE
Important Opinion Rendered by Assist
ant Comptroller of the Treasury.

In the case Of Frank Anderson, surgeon
Of the United States Navy. who aP-
peaIed from the action of the Auditor
for the Navy Department. allowing
him only the sum of 1895 on his claim
for an amount previously checked
against him as difference between sea
pay and Communication of rations and
waiting orders pay while absent from
his vessel, the L. S. s Dolphin, Mr. L.
P. Mitchell, Assistant Comptroller Of
the Treasury today affirmed the action
of the Auditor
In his decision in regard to the mat
ter. Mr. Mitchell says:
While an officers compensation as
established by law for the character Of
service he is performing cannot be di-
minished arbitrarily by regulation, so
for the same reasons 1t cannot be in
creased in that manner. The temporary
leave Of absence from his vessel, which
viii not deprive an officer of his sea
pay is such as does not materially in
terfere with the duties assigned him as
q part OF the crew Of that vessel. and
leaves him. for all practical purposes,
in discharge Of such duties. OF this
character are temporary shore leaves
granted officers Of vessels lying IN port
where the absence IS consistent with
the idea that they have performed all
the duties required Of them on the yes
sci. Where, however, a leave has been
granted by written order which allows
the officer for q stated period to go
where he pleases. and practically re-
lieves him for the time being from all
duties on the vessel to which he Is at
taChed by orders. and which leaves his
position in the complement of the YES
sci vacant. the effect is TO remove him
from sea duty and TO place him in the
status Of waiting orders. 1t is imma-
teTial that he still remains attached BY
orders to the vessel Il his absence Is
not an incident to his service on the
vessel.
IN this case. not only was Surgeon
Anderson relieved for the time being Of
ali duties connected with the vessel
but he was superseded by another eff
GER who filed his place on the vessel
The effect CT his avaiIing himself of
the permission granted him to be alb
sent from the vessel was 10 place him
on leave within the meaning Of the law
during the time OF such absence. and
the statute fixes his pay He vas not
entitled TO Communication Of rations dur
ing such absence. as he was not at the
time attached 10, and doing duty on. a
going vessel"

If the dollar is genuine it is one Of the

In 1894 the Government issued 1900
