Convict REGIMENTS.

At the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the British army had bah
reputation at home, and 1t was very
difficult to get recruits for 1t. For this
reason it was officially proposed to 8nd
the men by an impressment falling on
"any sturdy beggar, fortune teller or
the like idle, unknown, suspected fel
low in the parish; or, II there be none
such, then any one that has already
been in a gaOl or before justice Of the
peace for his idle, disOrderly life" Tho
advice was acted upon. Debtors were
released from prison on promising to
join the army or the navy, criminals
were pardoned on the same terms, and
persons with no visible means of sub
sistence were marched of to death AMI
glory. The system worked out better
than might have been expected. In the
peninsular war, for instance, three new
regiments were composed entirely Of
convicts, and one made for itself an IL
lustriOus name.

In order to see how far a certain bale
of cotton was shipped before being
manufactured into goods w. II. Parks,
Jr., of Ennis. Tex, placed note in a
bale which was shipped in the autumn
of 1905 asking the person who finally
received and opened it to write to him
and tell him where the cotton was used
and what price was paid. The bale
travelled many thousands of miles. as
is shown by this letter, which Mr..
Parks received recently from Reval,
Russia, which is situated on the Baltic
sea:

MlDDlES IN THE MAKING.

Our Naval Cadets Learn to Splice
Ropes, Furl Sails, Etc.
It is probably not generally known
how the United States government
trains the youth upon whose shoulders
will rest the responsibility of main
tanning the high standard of the navy.
His apprenticeship, according to Les
lies Weekly, is not unlike that of any
other young man learning trade. the
fundamental principle being the proper
kind of tools and when and how to use
them.
A midshipmans tools, so to speak.
are ships. thus rendering thorough
! knowledge of seamanship an essential
part of the training. This begins with
lessons in splicing hemp and wire
rope, after which the young men are
given practice in handling sails on the
! indoor mast in the seamanship build
ing. which is an exact counterpart OF
| the mizzenmast of the training ship
Severn and is seventy-two feet in
! height.
The midshipmen go aloft, furl, reef
and set sails, etc.-in fact, 60 through
the entire seamanship drill. A net Is
spread at the foot of the mast for pro-
lection. as a fall on the concrete floor
would be far more serious than on the
deck of a ship. Accidents. however,
are infreQuent.
Drills on the Severn begin early in
the spring and continue throughout the
cruise. which lasts from June until
September. The midshipman thus be-
comes accustomed to ship life. The
! work is hard and the discipline severe
during these drills. There is little
tendency to shirk duty, and the future
admirals do everything on shipboard.
on deck and aloft, even to clearing up
the deck and slowing away the ropes.
From a picturesque point Of view
seamanship practice on the Severn sur
passes all other similar exercises. 1t
! seems that on shipboard the sense of
the reality of the thing is ever present,
and one accustomed to witnessing
these drills notices that on the deck of
| the old Severn the middies are more
active, more in earnest. and the man
| ner in which they climb and swing
around the rigging does credit to an
old sailor.
Each man starts in with practical
seaman's duties and as he continues
his course is advanced to the duties of
the petty officers and later to those of
the junior commissioned officers.

Electricity In the Home.

In a $1,000 or $4,000 house it is a
very common matter to wire for cleo
trio lights, but by giving the subject a
little further attention with your cleo
trical contractor and the architect it
is possible to arrange outlets for light
ing socket heating devices at very lit
tie extra expense. Such receptacles
would be taken off from the lighting
wires in a very simple manner. The
cost Of operating later at lighting rates
would not be large, for the reason
that the electrical devices which will
be used on such a circuit consume
only a small amount of electricity and
are generally used for only short inter-
walls. They would comprise, for ex-
ample, the chatting dish, the coffee per-
colator, heating pad, cigar lighter,
shaving mug, curling iron. baby milk
warmer, small frying pan and many
others.-Cassier's Magazine.

CLERKS HOURS IN GERMANY
An Effort to Do Away With the Lonx
Midday Interval.

An Effort to Do Away With the Long
Midday Interval.
A discussion is going on in CONNER
cial circles in Germany regarding the
respective merits of the English and
German systems Of arranging the
hours Of work in banks, company Of
fees and big business houses.
1t has always been customary in
Germany for clerks and accountants
and all workers of this class to begin
work considerably earlier than is the
case in England and to terminate work
in the evening much later THAI is usual
in London. Work begins in German
offices, as rule. at 8 o'clock in the
morning and is frequently not conclud-
ed before 8 o'clock in the evening.
| Partial compensation for the early be-
ginning and late termination is obtain
ed by taking a two hours pause at
! midday, but even with this break the
considerably exceed those in English
offices, especially as half holiday Sat-
urGay is still an exceptional arrange
ment in Germany.
An agitation is now going on for the
abolition of the long midday interval
I'd Of the introduction of the hours OF
k usual in English offices. Many
| herman business men. however, resist
the innovation and persist in maintain
ing the old fashioned system.
Many German Stockholders, COM
pany directors, directors Of banks and
captains of industry adopt curious
arrangement by which they dine at 8
o'clock in the afternoon and afterward
return to their Offices from 6 till s
o'clock in the evening.
| Those Germans who have practical
experience of Office work in England
are unanimous in declaring that Eng
| lish clerks do just as much in six or
seven hours as German clerks in nine
or ten hours and advance this as a
| strong argument in favor of the gen.
eral adoption Of the English hours of
! work in Offices.
A few of the big banks in Berlin
have already got as far as a working
day Of eight hours, from 8 o'clock in
the morning till O'clock in the after
noon. with two hours less Saturday,
when they close at o'clock.-Berlin

''It is cold brought on by marble

Real Estate In Korea.

One Of the most astonishing regula-
tons has been made regarding the
transfer Of real estate in Korea No one
is to be allowed to sell or buy real estate
except by permission of the governor.
This is apparently move on the part
Of the Japanese to prevent the selling
of any land in Korea except to people
that they approve. for the governors
are, Of course, under the Japanese ad-
visers. 1t makes no difference that
foreigners have as good right to buy
land as the japanese. The matter will
have to be tested in the courts before
the powers will allow their citizens to
be curtailed in their privileges in the

BOBBY ON THE HUMAN BODY
A Juvenile Essay Containing Some
Hitherto Unpublished Information.

A Juvenile Essay Containing Some
Hitherto Unpublished Information.
The human body was first supposed
to be made up of 2OS bones. but later
discoveries have developed the fact
that it contains 2O8 bones and an APP
pendix. An appendix is something
which is added on, like postscript on
much. Its principal use is to afford a
revenue for doctors and surgery spe-
cialists. Operations on the human sys-
tenn are the correct thing in polite So
ciety. Pa says there is one woman in
our town who has nothing left in her
but her palate and her tongue, she has
been operated on so much. Last Sun
day our Sunday school text was,
"Praise the Lord, oh, my soul, and all
that is within me- | said to pa,
Mrs. So-and-so wouldn't be very
strong on that, would she?" And he
laughed and said no.
A railroad brakeman is in a class by
himself. He doesn't have anywheres
near 2OS bones In his body. I know a
brakeman, chairman OF grievance
committee of ten, and when he goes to
count the members of the committee
on his fingers he can never get a
quorum because he hasn't enough fin
gers left.
1t says in my physiology that in the
human frame is q network Of nerves,
sort Of system of fine wires which
carry messages to and from the brain
For instance, if you put your finger on
hot stove the nerves Of the arm car
~ a message to your brain that your
finger is getting burned. and your
brain flashes back instructions to take
your finger off the stove. The other
night had my fingers in a can of jam
in the pantry when by eardrum sent q
message to my brain that ma was
coming. My brain answered back to
take my fingers out, but the message
was delayed in transmission. and
didn't move quick enough. Ma caught
me- For few minutes the wires run
ming up my spine to my brain were
crowded with good government mes
sages as to what was going on on the
firing line. Now when / go to sit
down my brain advises my arms to put
pillow on the chair.-Bobby in Judge.

in Greece is engaging the attention of
English physicists. 1t is said to be
checking the development of rural life
and is very serious thing for the ma

increased to 100000 and the deaths to
5,916. Professor Savas of the Uni
