Scientific MARCHING.

The reputation Of Germany as a
country where life is regulated as
much as possible in accordance with
the behests of science is borne out
by the regulations of the German
military authorities concerning the
marching and physical training Of
troops. The physiology Of march
ing has recently been the subject
of careful investigation, and the re-
suits obtained are taken advantage
of for the benefit Of the German
army. Among the conclusions
reached is that during continuous
heavy marching the rations supplied
are not sufficient to replace the
waste of carbohydrates and that a
days rest is required after every
three days marching to enable the
body to recover it's normal power.

Senator Elkins' Great Mistake.

Senator Elkins Of West Virginia
is the storm center of a fierce fac
tional fight of leading colleges. The
senator has one son at Princeton,
another at Harvard and third at
the University of Pennsylvania.
These three brothers are constantly
at war over the merits of their re-
spectre institutions. They make
bets with one another on their foot
ball, baseball and track teams, and,
no matter what the outcome, the
senator is always called upon by
the defeated brother to pay.
He said the other day that it was
the greatest mistake he had ever
made to send his boys to different
colleges. He remarked that if he
had it to do over again he would
send them all to the same institu-
ton, thus keeping peace in the fam
lily and money in his pocket.

Just Sharinq Fair.


Two children, a girl of about
eight and a boy of six, were left in
St. Paul's churchyard while their
mother went into the old church.
The youngsters wandered about the
burying ground looking curiously at
the old tombstones until they came
to one that was nearly hidden by
laurel wreaths.
The little girl regarded these trib-
utes intently for some moments,
then carefully pickeosnp one of the
wreaths and handed it to her broth
er. Taking a second wreath herself,
she started down path, her brother
toddling after her.
Coming to a neglected looking
grave, she carefully placed the
wreath upon it, and, taking the 9th
er circlet of faded laurel from her
brother, she went little farther
and laid it on a time worn tomb
stone
The mother, coming out Of the
church, saw this and said:
"Why, Ethel, what are you do
ing? ?"
"Just sharing fair" said the bud
ding socialist. ssThe flowers were
all on one grave" New York

Wasn't the Place He Wanted.

Delegate Dennis Flynn of Okla
homa has a German constituent
whose name, for the purposes Of
this story, is Henry. The worthy
German, who speaks with a broad
accent, wanted place as oil in
spector and came to Flynn with his
application.
"That's all right" said Flynn,
"but you should see the governor.
Tell him what you want, and he
will fix it.
Henry went to the governor. A
few days later he saw Flynn again.

sian That Failed.

Up on Lexington avenue an en-
terprising music dealer who desired
to call attention to his wares had a
sign painted in artistic white let
tiers on a black ground and hung it
on his outer wall. It read, "What
is home without a piano ?"
One dark night along came a
painter, with material of his trade
in hand, who either had no music
in his soul or had cultivated taste
beyond ragtime and the ordinary
performer, and added word to the
sign. When the music dealer arose
in the morning, he was surprised at
the appearance of his sign. It read:
"What is home without piano !?
Peace"
The final word was ruthlessly OBJ
liberated and the sign taken from
the outer wall and hung behind the
protection of plate glass. - New

FASCINATION OF DIAMONDS.
Same Faces From Day to Day seen at
tie Display Windows.


Diamonds have a great fascina-
ton for a certain class Of people, 2
said a jeweler to a reporter the 9TH
er evening. For days at a time /
see the same faces looking. at the
stones in the display window, and
often one particular diamond at
tracts their attention every time
they stop. AS a rule, most Of these
are young men and women. IF you
stand in the store and watch the
many people who look at our dis
play every day, you will notice that
most Of them come to the window
in a rush and after studying the
jewels for awhile will walk slowly
away, as if they hated to go. Very
few Of these persons know anything
about diamonds, but simply like to
look at them and pick out the ones
they would like to have.
"a knowledge Of diamonds is
gained only by long experience in
handling them, and hundreds Of the
people who look at the diamond dis
plays cannot tell a bad stone from a
good one.
1T is a fact that sometimes we
see a young girl standing before
the window and actually talking
to herself and occasionally point
ing at the stone which happens to
strike her fancy. Most Of those
who look in the windows hardly
ever buv diamonds, probably be-
cause they are not able. Our best
diamond customers very seldom look
at the display in the window. They
come inside and nave the clerks
show them the precious stones.
"The other day a man came into
our store and bought a three hun
dred dollar diamond in ten minutes.
The same day woman purchased a
small diamond from us for SIS, and
she was more than an hour in select
ing the stone she desired. Wash

BEFORE THE SURRENDER.
General LIVES Refusal to Allow His
Soldiers to Disperse.

General 3. P. Alexander relates
in The Century these interesting
words Of General Lee just before
the surrender. General Alexander
having proposed that the Confeder-
ate soldiers be authorized to dis
perse and report to General John
ston or to the governors. Of the
states, General Lee asked:
Suppose / were to adopt your
suggestion, how many do you sup
pose would get awav2o
General Alexander replied: Il
think two-thirds Of US could get
away. We should be like rabbits
and partridges in the bushes, and
they could not scatter like that to
catch US"
S'Well," he said, 'SI have less than
10000 infantry with arms in their
hands. Even if two-thirds Of these
got away it would be too small
force to accomplish any useful re-
suit, either with Johnston or with
the governors Of the states. But
few would go to Johnston, for their
homes have been overrun by the en-
envy, and the men will want to 60
first and look after their families.
AS to any help from Europe, / have
never believed in it. / appreciate
that the surrender Of this army is,
indeed, the end Of the Confederacy.
But that result is now inevitable
and must be faced. And as Chris
tan men we have no right to choose
a course from pride or personal feel
ings We have simply to see what
we can do best for our country and
people. Now, if I should adopt
your suggestion and order this army
to disperse the men, going home
ward, would be under no control
and, moreover, would be without
food. They are already demoralized
by four years of war and would sup
ply their wants by violence and
plumber. They would soon become
little better than bands Of robbers.
A state Of society would result
throughout the south from which it
would require years to recover. The
enemy's cavalry, too, would pursue
to catch at least the general officers
and would harass and devastate Sec
tons that otherwise they will never
visit. Moreover" he said, 'fas to
myself, am too old to go to bush
whaeking, and even If it were right
to order the army to disperse the
only course for me to pursue would
be to surrender myself to General
Grant. But" he added, 81 can tell
you for your comfort that Grant
will not demand an unconditional
surrender He will give US honora-
bic and liberal terms, simply requir-
ing us not to take up arms again un-
til exchanged" He then went on
to say that he was infcorrespondence
with Grant and expected to meet
him in our rear at 10 a. M, when
he would accept the terms that had
been indicated.

The Ban Rich.

The British vessel Ban RICH, which
recently got into so much trouble in
South America, was named after the
late Queen Victoria. The Celts of
Scotland lad made no provision in
their language for a reigning queen,
and as srigh" pronounced "ree'') is
Gaelic for king a way had to be
found out of the difficulty, and
sEban" was prefxed, the word signi-
flying ssfair" or woman" so that
Ban RICH means woman king.

AN ARTIST ON ARTISTS.

Edwin A. Abbey declares that
American artists like to live abroad
because there is less hustle ard bus
tie there. He adds: can artists
feelings and temperament seem to
De understood, and people are not
eternally bothering him to do some
thing in a certain fixed time. Peo-
pie Of other countries do not criti-
else their artists for living in a for
eign land. Many Frenohmen go to
Italy or England, Swedes and Eng.
lishmen go to France, and so or.
Besides, England is peculiarly favor
able to my particular work. The
older civilization Of that country
makes it possible to lead a quiet and
reasonable life. An artist is very
nnpressionable, and these things
have an important bearing on his
work.
In answer to the question Wheth-
er marriage is fatal to the highest
artistic success Mr.. Abbey replied:
II think that theory is rubbish
Probably it originates with men
who are unhappily married"
