General Miles will be Retired.

Washington, April 18 Orders for the

presidents signature to put them into
effect. The orders assigning General
Brooke to command of the army and
providing for other necessary changes
were made out some time ago and are
ready for promulgation as soon as Cen
eral Miles retirement is announced.
The compulsory retirement Of General
Miles will be announced in general Or
der issued by the adj ntant general at the
direction Of the president. and will. it is
thought, be accompanied by q statement
of specific acts of insubordination and
violation OF the army regulations.
A record of his official conduct, going
back to a time prior to his succeeding
General Schofield as senior major gener-
al in command OF the army. has been
prepared and will be made public in such
way that the country will understand
the nature of his offense and the reasons
why the administration feels impelled to
rebuke him. In 1894, whom General

MONEY to Loan!

CERTAINTY OF CoNTRAcT.-The
lean plan here offered by The Fi>
deity is that of paying off loan
by easy monthly payments. The
contract is definite and certain. By
its terms it cannot run BEYOND the
time fixed, but stock participates in
earning and may mature sooner. IT
is NOT loan upon the building
loan plan as usually presented by
associations. 1t differs from such
a plan, in that
No fines are charged the borrower.
b The maximum number of payments re-
quired to pay off is stipulated IN the note.
The sum required to pay off and cancel a
loan, or any part of it, is stipulated in the
note for each period.
Certainty and monthly payment plan
is an advantage to the borrower. ~ The
debt can be paid off before maturity with
out penalty. (2) The borrower by easy pay
ments gets out of debt. Straight loans for
term of years are too often renewed.
Three terms or payment are offered. 1t
takes a small monthly payment longer to
cancel debt than it does a larger one.

y gentleman whose liberality in no

out one day that there was some ale
in his cellar almost spelling. and de-
cided to get rid of il without delay,
relates the New Yorker.
The next morning when he was
rambling over his estate he came
across a party of workman. Address
ing the man in charge, he ostenta-
tiously presented the ale to the men.
and said they could go and fetch it
as they liked.
A few days afterward he happened
to meet the foreman again.. and i'm
mediately proceeded to extract from
him in some way a suitable acklowl-
edgment Of the bounty recently be-
slowed.
well. Williams" said the donor,
with the air of man who had
granted an unspeakable favor. "did
you and your men have that ale?"
"Oh, yes sir, thank you, we had it,"
was the reply.
That's right, and how did you like
it?' said the gentleman, desiring a
warmer expression of gratitude.
oh, sir. il was just the thing for
u.s." was the rather vague response
"Ha. that'll do then. But what do
you mean by just the thing?'"

been little better we shouldn't
'ad it. and if it 'ad been little worse
we couldn't drinked it,"

The volcano Bird.

One curious result of the Soufriere's
eruptions has been the loss on the is
land of St. Vincent of the beautiful
bird known as Buildings Amazon par
rot. This bird was formerly found
only on the slopes of the Soufriere
and was called the ''volcano bird" by
the inhabitants of the island. 1t was
driven away by the eruptions of 171s
and sought shelter in other parts Of
the Antilles. The great hurricane of
1898 still further reduced it's num-
bers, hardly leaving single bird in
st. Vincent, and now it is feared that
whatever survivors there may have
been were destroyed by the recent
eruptions or have fed from the scene.
Not a bird can be found anywhere
within the range of the volcanoes -ac-
tivity. Unlike man, birds and beasts did
not risk returning to such a danger

we quote:

islation our small property holders should
be encouraged. and they should be pro-
tected; their burden should be made as
light as possible. and capital should DO
made to pay its fair share Of the burdens
OF the state. Large ownership Of land
should be discouraged and prevented.

are different, ana by means Of this. Iarge
aggregations Of capital avoid paying their

just learning that franchise tax is the
easiest collected Of any. and probably one
of the fairest ways of raising revenue. OF

coLoRs IN WOOD.
The Various Kinds That Are Used to
Supply the Demands Of vari-
Gus Trades.

An amateur collector of woods for
ornamental work recently stated in
Science and Industry that he had bog
oak from ireland that is almost as
black as ebony.
Brown is well represented in his col
lection by walnut from this country,
and cocobola and snakewood from
the tropics. The last named variety
has the remarkable property of show
ing its notified spots on all four sides,
instead of two, as is usually the case.
It is very dense and hard to cut. When
it is cut it gives out an odor similar
to that of scorching wood.
In reds he has mahogany, cedar.
California redwood, African vermilion
and tulip wood, the last mentioned
variety being striped. Blush tints
can be obtained from amaranth and
heart of lilac. Very few people know
that near the heart of this common
towering shrub are the most beauti-
full streaks of purplish hue, varie-
gated with white. It is difficult to
obtain in large pieces, as the trunk
rOts and dies almost as soon as it be-
gins to attain a large diameter.
Different shades of yellow are af-
forded by Lakewood, orangewood,
eandalwood and Spanish, satinwood.
Sumach is greenish, and has a pretty
grain. Very light tints can be OBJ
tanned by using quarter-sawed maple
and sycamore. White holly is even
more effective in getting contrasts of
color.
