General Funston's prompt initiative
saved San FRANCISCO from a worse dis
aster than that which has overtaken
it, and her people from more terrible
sufferings than those which they have
had to endure. All of this is an i'm
pressive example of the true place Of
"militarism" in the American system,
and of the splendid service OF which
the army is capable in times of peace.
Its readiness to rise to the require
ments Of the hour is the nations justi-
fication for the maintenance of the
army in the most perfect efficiency, OBJ
serves the Philadelphia Ledger. The
same applies, Of course, to the other
military and semi-military branches
of the Government seryice-the navy,
the revenue service and the Marine
Hospital-all of which are doing val
liant service at San Francisco

was shaky. One of the men braced
the shaky leg with chunk of black

II was going about Cadillac Square
the other day." says a Detroit business
man, when noticed a wagonload Of
calves heads standing before one OF
the markets. began to wonder what
under the sun anybody could use
calves heads for, so stepped into the
market and made inquiry.
swell, do you know, there Is really
an industry in calves head2 Several
men in town, ana particularly one ont
Gratiot avenue, make a business of
buying them up. They prepare the
tongue and brain for use as edibles,
and as these are regarded as a deIieacy
on the best tables, they bring con-
siderable sum. Sometimes the whole
head, with the lower joint of the fore
legs and the feet are used by hotels
for table decorations. After the brain
and tongue have been removed, the
remaining portion is used for head
cheese or sausage. The bone Is sold
to be used as fertilizer.
my informant told me that about
500 calves are killed every week In
Detroit, and each head brings about
thirty and one-half cents, or a total In
year OF some $4,000. That's a pretty
big sum to be realized on an article
that the average person would regard
as absolutely without value :" Detroit

Opposite Hunting Park, on Old

by name The Torpeys own two cats
that are different from other cats in
that they go to church AS regularly
as Sunday morning arrives the pair
of felines may be seen following the
Torpeys to st. Stephens church,
Broad and Butler streets. No matter
what the weather or transpirings on
back fences, the two pious cats bravs
probable attacks by impious mongrels
and set an example that many hu.
mans would do we'll to follow.
Neighbors will attest to the truthful
ness of the statement that the church
going felines spend the very early
morning hours of Sunday in licking
themselves into that state of cleanli
ness which is said to be secondary
only to goodness. Their fur is glossy
their paws immaculate, and not
whisker is out of place.
Arrived at the church, the cats con
tent themselves with peering in at the
door They are seemingly content to

Then they slip into the vestibule OF

Philadelphia Record. 1t is not quite
true to say that there is no use in
teaching grammar, because some Of
the pupils care enough about correct
ness to conquer the habits acquired in
their homes. But a great many people
are slovenly, and win study grammar
at school and read good English In
books, and never make the necessary

But that a person Of this sort could
retain for years a position in high
