One Of the important provisions of the
army appropriation act Of the late con-
gress is that for heavy furniture for off,
GERS quarters at military posts. Furniture
OF this type has been issued to the public
rooms of officers mess under provision Of
law and the additional provision which is
now made is Of far-reaching extent, affect
ing as II does those officers who maintain
establishments and who are put 10 much
expense and trouble in the way OF trans
ferring household material in individual
changes of station. II has not yet been
decided what articles shall be included IN
the class OF heavy furniture" but It is
assumed that they will include bedsteads,
bureaus, sideboards, dining tables, chairs,
hat racks and ice boxes, at least This
furniture will become a part Of the fixtures
of the officers quarters TO remain there
and be used by successive occupants. OF
course II wifi be impossible to equip all
of the officers quarters at every military
post out Of the appropriation Of barracks
and quarters, which amounts 20 S9,750,OOO
for the next fiscal year, and must cover
the cost Of construction and equipment as
we'll as pay for the increased Communication
for quarters. It is Of Importance, however,
that a start has been made in this par
ticular and It ls to the credit of Quarter
master General Humphrey that he was
able after urging It upon congress for
two years. to obtain approval of his plan
for giving this allowance Of an important
part of the household equipment Of officers
at army posts.

LEvirY ON SUPREME BENCH.
Chief Justice Holmes Makes Some
thing of an Innovation.

1t is not often that one hears a JUS
tice of the supreme court of the United
States make a remark in 1eyity while
he is attired in his robes of dignity
and is sitting on the bench, which, in
fact, is not a bench at all, but soft
cushioned leather-covered easy chair.
But the unexpected did happen recent
ly when decisions were being handed
down. Mr.. Justice Holmes was the
perpetrator of the joke, which was a
very mild one
Mr. Holmes had the fortune Cor the
misfortune) of announcing the decision
of the court in the case of David
Kawananakoa. Jonah Kalanianaole,
Abigale W. Kawananal1oa and Eliza
beth K. Kalanianaole against Ellen AL
bertha Polybland and others. Mr..
Holmes hesitated, and although an
nouncing a decision OF the supreme
tribunal of the land, was obliged to
acknowledge that he would have to
forego the form of pronouncing the
names. He spoke in a low tone of
voice, and said, as q smile played
about his lips:
This is case No. 273, but I will not
undertake to pronounce the names of
the appellants, which are a matter of
record"
He then proceeded to explain the
decision of the court, but the dilemma
in which he was thrown by the I'M
ronouncable names did not cause
sympathetic risible on the physiog-
nomy of any of the justices except in
the case of Mr.. Justice McKenna, but
the assembled attorneys enjoyed the
situation thoroughly.

Fighting with Ants.

The Indians of the Mauritius dis
pose of termites, or white ants, in this
manner: When they see their covered
way approaching building, they drop
train of syrup from this way to the
nearest nest of black ants. The first
ones that see the syrup follow it up
till they reach the termite passage.
They return to their nest, and in a
few hours a black army starts out for
the white ant stronghold. With great
fury they rush into the galleries, and
in short time entirely destroy the
enemy, and each one, on its way
home, carries dead termite, proba-
bly, to eat.

END OF TREASURY CUSTOM.
RIO More Consolidation at Luncheon
Between Secretary and Assistants.

Secretary Cortelyou has broken up
custom that has existed for ten
years in the treasury. 1t is that OF
the head of the treasury and his as
sistants lunching together.
the custom was started by Lyman
J. Gage when he came into the treas
ury as secretary March 4, 1897. Mr.
Gage had been bank president and
he found time too precious to waste
going away from his bank for lunch
con- Consequently he had luncheon
served for himself and his principal
assistants in one of the rooms of the
bank
While they ate the bank officials
had a sort of cabinet meeting, in
which they snapped views as to the
affairs of the bank. Mr.. Gage inau-
gurated the same custom in the treas
ury. Every day shortly after one
O'Clock the secretary's messengers
would set a table in his room and 1T
would be well filed with good things
arriving from the lunch room in the
treasury. AS they ate, the secretary
and his three assistants talked over
the work of the department When
Secretary Gage went out five years
ago he turned over the department
to L. NJ. Shaw, who followed the GUS
tom.
Secretary Cortelyou goes to lunch
con when he can spare the time.
When he cannot he goes across the
street from the treasury and gets a
sandwich, piece of pie and mug OF
milk from an establishment he pat
ronized for years when he was clerk
in the White House.

EVEN If DISCOURAGED
TRY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured the Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advanced Stages.

Rheumatism is a painful inf1a1nma-
Eon of the muscles or of the coverings
Of the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
TO any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for a
time, leaves it and passes on to another
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease Is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for a time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly ON the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
