AT Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, six
non-commissiOned officers have been
reduced to the ranks for running what
is technically known as "a bind pig"
or unlawful canteen. When the men
grumbled that they were doing no
more than the commissioned officers
did, Colonel Whitehall, 1t seems, dis.
closed with some emphasis that what
was meet for officers in the post club
house was not necessarily proper for
privates in quarters. The papers say
that he said: "To put the private on
the same footing as the commissioned
officer would be ruinous to discipline.
We must have cacte in the army just
as there is caste in outside society.
We have the same class distinctions,
and without them we could have no
discipline"
Colonel Whitehall's sentiments are
sound enough, but if he was quoted ac'
curately, he was not fortunate in his
method of expressing them. Military
law gives officers privileges which pri
Yates do not share. 1t creates an ar
tificial caste for military purposes
though whether it formally gives Off
GERS larger liquor privileges than il
gives to privates is arguable. But il
outside society American law recog
nizes no caste and no class distinctions

Oregon Trees in Austria.

A. +. Miller, of Sellwood, yesterday
made a shipment of $50 pounds of the
seeds of fir and spruce trees to re-
plenish the depleted forests of Aus
tria. One thousand pounds were want
ed, but these were all that were gath
cred. About 600 sacks of cones were
picked from young trees, from which
the seeds were carefully taken. Be
tween 200 and 800 pounds Of seeds
were sifted from the whole bulk that
did not promise only the very best be-
ing sent across the sea.
Oregon fir and spruce are growing
on thousands of acres of territory in
Germany and Austria that had been
denuded of trees. Mr.. Miller has been
gathering seeds of these trees for
several years. He says that the fir is
the most popular tree and the seeds
are eagerly sought for, the demand be-
ing greater than can be supplied

the greatest job of Indian killing in
the history of the army. The Indians,
Mojaves and Apaches, had fed to the
cave, pursued by five troops OF cav

The besiegers had settled down to
starve the aborigines out, when one

minister at Belgrade, to stop the train

Noory Pasha was Immediately in

applied to the Sultan for permission

teriously disappeared. Fethi Pasha
believes that they have found a secret
refuge with some Servian girl friends,
daughters of Servian diplomatists who
served in Constantlnople. But the po-
lice agents declare that they have
evaded the watching of the detectives
by leaving the hotel dressed in mems

Morn Steam Engines USed Now Than
Ry.r Hafnra

More Steam Engines USed Now Than
Ever Before.
The use Of the steam engine is In
creasing faster today than ever before
Many mammoth Industrial plants are
exclusively engaged in building steam
boilers and engines, and II Is the proud
boast Of one Of these, the Atlas Engine
Works, of Indianapolis that it aver
ages a complete boiler and engine outfit
of fifty horsepower every thirty min
utes of the working day.
When the visitor to their plant has
gone through two or three Of their
great warehouses, and energies upon
boiler yard Of twenty acres, he won
ders where upon earth use can be
found for all the boilers and engines.
But, II he will watch the loading
process, he will see some ten or twelve
trainloads per day go out, labeled for
destinations all over the world, and
will gain some notion Of the magnitude
of the worlds work. Then, when he is
told that this one concern, leyiathan Of
the trade though ii is, does not produce
ten percent of the worlds Ouput of
steam boilers and engines, he will be-
blll " ltullLt INV Ndol 10 NhN plONNN-
ton and consumption of steam power
throughout the world,
The product of this one plant, which
builds every type and size of horizontal
steam engine, affords an interesting
study Of mechanical evolution. The
balanced slide-valye, the shaft gov
ernor, the rotating, or Corliss valves,
self-oling devices. compound cylinders
and direct connected shafts are only
the more visible improvements. The
built-up connecting rod, the removable
bearings, improved piston construction,
stronger and lighter designs Of bed,
more intelligent designing of all recip-
rocating parts, better selection of ma
teTials and more accurate workman
ship throughout are some of the things
that differentiate the engine of today
from that of half century ago.
The changes in boiler construction
have not been so numerous, but they
have been quite as marked. In the out
put of this one concern can be found
every size and type of boiler, from the
little horizontal tubular Of fifteen
horsepower to the new Atlas water
tube, which purifies its own water,
superheats its own steam and gives the
highest efficiency yet accomplished in
boiler construction.

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.

II was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty

Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bot
ties of Resolvent. In thirty days l was
completely cured, and think permanent
ly, as it was about Ave years ago. The
psoriasis first made its appearance in red
spots generally forming a circle, leaving
in the centre spot about the size of a
silver dollar of sound flesh In short
time the affected circle would form a
heavy dry scale of white silvery appear
ance, and would gradually drop off. To
remove the entire scales by bathing or
using oil to soften them the flesh would
be perfectly raw, and light discharge Of
bloody substance would Ooze out. That
scaly crust would form again in twenty
four hours. 1t was worse on my arms and
limbs, although it was in spots all over
my body, also on my scalp If let the
scales remain too long without removing
by bath or otherwise, the skin would
crack and bleed. suffered intense itch
ing, worse at nights after getting warm
in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when
it would be almost unbearable W NJ.
