The Battle of Life


 It may not be a confirmation of the popular belief that the professions are Overcrowded, but the Providence Journal points out that it Is an illus tration of the lack of promising op- pOrtunities open to young men just out Of college or at the age when they must begin to earn a living that two thousand of them should apply for appointment to twenty-eight ex- isting vacancies in the grade of as sistant paymaster in the United States navy.
 These places are naturally regarded as much more desirable than those open to inexperienced young men in business and professional lines. be- cause they carry with them fairly good salaries, assurances of a career lasting through life, and provide pension in the way of retired pay af- ter superannuation. Brass buttons moreover have an attraction for men as we'll as for women, and it is no small consideration for a youth on the threshold of life to be secure in an honorable career, attractive in more ways than one, which puts him in the ranks of those who can pride them selves that. although wealth cannot come to them in their profession, honor and fame may, and that, more over, they can insist at all times up- on being regarded as officers and gentlemen"
 The majority of the two thousand candidates. however, with the inherent recl1lessness of youth, failed to at tach due importance to the fact that their applications were received sole ly because those who were originally nations for the twenty eight vacan- cies failed to pass, therefore making it necessary to let down the bars and open the competition to all corners. Only ninety-eight of the two thousand were permitted to take the examina- tions, the others not being up to the general standard; seventeen of these failed to meet the physical require ments, and of the remaining number. but twenty-four stood the mental test and they will receive commissions.
 The navy. of course, holds out no such promise of competency as ev- cry embryo doctor, lawyer. journalist, civil engineer or other professional man sees before him as he gazes down life's vista from the college doorway; but as an offset there is not constant ly in his sight and mind the possi- bility of failure. Any young man in telligent enough to pass the entrance examinations has but to do his duty according to the regulations to make a successful paymaster and to re- ceive the promotions and emoluments that will come to him in the regular routine of the service while his broth CT outside must toll on in the face of unknown contingencies.

FOR FAT AND THIN.

leading authority on hygiene gives the following advice regarding the diet which should be adopted by thin persons, on the one hand and coupulent folk on the other. For the lean he highly recommends bacon, and also pork, if the digestion is good. Chicken, veal, turkey, duck and rab- bit are not recommended. Potatoes are cIassed as beneficial and butter and eggs are also pronounced as suitable. Butter. indeed, should be used fiber ally, and a glass of milk drunk uight and morning. Fat people. however. are far more prone to disease than the thin, and require more rigid dieting. They are admOnished to avoid cakes. mullins, buildings, chocolate, cider, liquors and malt liquids. If wines are
 taken, claret is the mot suitable.
 Amongst the fruits. apples. appricots. peaches, pears. bananas. oranges. and plums are to be avoided. as being fat tening, a fact which conve,s a useful

Tin In the United States

A report by Chas. D. Walcott. di- rector of the United States geOlogi- cal survey. suggests that this country may some day become a producer of tin on a large commercial scale
 The development of our mineral re sources in this direction has not here~ tofore been of great significance In. til within the last year or two Amer ican tin has been produced only in an experimental way. although it is known that there are deposits of the metal in various parts of our territory. In 1904 the industry showed some signs of life. the yield of ore amount ing to 159 short tons. which contained from 40 to 70 per cent of metallic tin. It was obtained from deposits near Gafrney. South Carolina, Hinton, South Dakota and Burke Creek. Alaska Nearly all of this tin ore was shipped to England for smelting.
 The home product cut but a Smali figure in our total consumption. as may be seen from the fact that the tin imported into the United States for the fiscal year ending June 90. 1904. amounted to .S32 short tons, valued at $21.4s6,311. The greater part of this came from the Malay pen iusula. pr. Joseph Hyde Pratt. of the United States geological survey, who has written a brief report on the pro- ductiOn of tin in 1904 for the surveys annual volume. Mineral Resources of the United States states that tho to- tai production of tin in the world iD 1904, exclusive of the production in China, was 92,243 iong tons. The pro- ducts come mainly from the Malay states, Banka and Billion. Bolivia. England and Australia A very small quantity is also produced in Austria. Germany, Japan. Mexico and America There was a slight decrease, amount ing to 1850 long tons, in the estimated production of tin in 1904 as compared with 1903. The consumption of tin in 1904 is estimated at approximately 94, 755 tons. which is 2,5I2 tons more than the actual production. The Unit ed States, it is added, consumes more than 40 per cent of all the tin pro- duced in the world.
 The demand for tin is increasing more rapidly than the supply, owing to tie growth of the canning indus try and to the extensive use of tin boxes and cases in which to ship va rious articles. On this point the re- port says: "On account of the de- 1nand for tin and the high price it brings. a new industry was started a few years ago which is known as de timing tin scrap. and this has now become of considerable importance in the United States. Many hundred tons of metallic tin and chemical salts of tin. chiefly chlorides, are procured each year from the chemical or cleo trolytic treatment of new tin scrap. which is obtained from tin-can and fruit-can factories"
 Whether American mines are to be- come an important factor in the worlds supply of tin cannot now be known. But a small beginning has been made. and if deposits of sufficient extent and richness be discovered there will not be lacking the enterprise and energy necessary to turn them to profitable account.

The Enlisted Mans Uniform

The enlisted man had just been ed ucated into looking neat and trim in his uniform when along came those Philadelphia contractors to make him look Hike 30 cents" In civil war days. soldiers wore about anything that would cover them. If the shoddy was tough enough to hold together through a sprinkle of rain, that was about all they asked. Manufacturers and tail ors made fat profits off Uncle Sam. Nobody was very particular just then about material or cut.
 Since those days there has been slow but sure progress toward dura- bility and neatness. The more pre- tentious clotbing-in the army, not in the navy-has been gradually discard ed: The American soldier of the twentieth century has a working rig, the khaki. and a dress uniform, Of blue, very plain.

ELEPHANTS ALWAYS STAND.

In captivity. elephants always stand up when they sleep but when in wild state in the jungle, they lie down. The reason given for this difference between the elephant in captivity and freedom is that the elephant never acquires complete confidence in his keepers, and always has a longing to regain his liberty.

showing signs of much relaxation

is showing signs of much relaxation
and change.
In Fiji the movement began some
time ago. The first effect was an effort
to secure such modification of the laws
relating to leasing and otherwise alien
ating native lands as would give oppor-
tunity for white immigrants to take up
land for cultivation. One of the first
results of this effort was an agreement
between Governor i'm Thurn and the
native chiefs by which the natives
agreed to open up large tracts of the
lands held by them, but not needed for
their use, to lease to settlers for Gull
tivRtion. The terms of these leases
were so framed as to protect the rights
of the natives, and the rental received
goes to them. Later amendments were
made in the land laws designed to make
it easier for selections of land and
leases with the owners to be made
Whether as h result of these things or
not, cannot be known at this distance,
but as a matter of fact, according to
the Fiji newspapers, immigrants are
coming in, and very optimistic hopes
are entertained of the large increase of
white population in the colony and of
the future of the Islands of the group
In other parts of the Pacific the same
movement is observable. There is an
effort everywhere to open up the land
to the occupation, settlement and Gull
tivation of white settlers.
In the New Hebrldes, Great Britain
and france while each striving for pre-
dominating political influence are both
doing much to attract thither white
settlers. Germany in the Solomon ISL
ands is doing much the same thing, and
Great Britain, mainly through the ac-
tivities of Australia is taking similar
measures in British New Guinea.
In fact the idea is not even confined
to the Pacific. 1t is manifested in South
Africa in many ways. In short, it is
worldwide. Every country that is held
on colonial terms by any European
country, is a field for the operation of
the same sentiments and ideas, and
these sentiments and ideas are every
where in such countries finding express
