How Our Army Is Formed.

The average citizen, it is safe to
say, has a very hazy idea concerning
the size and constitution of the Unit
ed States army. a writer in Harper's
Weekly gives some interesting facts
bearing upon this matter. The govern
ment dreams Of an army numbering
10000 men. The present strength is
$1,000. OF the theoretical 10000 sol
dlers the fifteen regiments Of cavalry,
which never lack their full compile
ment, comprise nearly 1900 officers
and men, the six regiments of field ar
tillery $500, the coast artillery corps
close upon 10000, the thirty regiments
Of infantry 27,O0O the engineers 1000.
and the remainder consist Of the staff
corps, Indian scouts and a small num-
Der Of native soldiers in Porto Rico
and the Philippines. The total num-
Der of commissioned officers amounts
to about 5000.

The Wife of the Cat.

Nasr-ed-din, the Persian shah, was
an intensely superstitious man and be-
neved that his luck lay in his beautL'
full black Persian cat, which was re-
markably handsome cat in a land
where cats are nearly all handsome.
The shah never allowed the black cat
to be away from him, and it was given
in charge of one OF his wives. Amin
Agdas. who was styled 'the wife of
the cat"
When the shah went OH his long
shooting expeditions, the Persian cat
was put into Il decorated basket and
carried by a special attendant directly
behind his master. Unluckily one day
an accident occurred, and the black
cat came to an untlmely end. The
shah was in despair at the loss Of his
luck bringer, but the clever wife Of
the cat" exerted her influence and
brought her nephew under the shah's
notice. The lad was sharp enough to
make the most Of an accident planned
by his aunt and save the shah's life,
and the monarch was so pleased that
he gave the boy the name Of the
cherished of the sovereign" and in
stalled the new luck bringer.

cept the first amendment and made
new motion that some one said
was out of order, and the chair said
she didn't feel sure whcthc" it was or
not, and some one said to lay the
whole thing on the table. and some
one else said you couldn't do that be-
cause it had been seconded and had
to be acted upon unless Mrs. Smythe
would withdraw her motion, and
while that was being discussed some
one else moved to amend the new mo-
ton, and some one else said it could
not be done. and now | can't for the

only that it was something about an
amendment TO some section of the by

The Wonders She Has Accomplished

The Wonders She Has Accomplished
Since the Earthquake.
The plain facts about what the peo-
pie of San Francisco have done in less
than two years since the earthquake
and fire, which together destroyed 2S,-
600 buildings, are simply beyond COM
prehension among the people of the
east. The damage by the earthquake
was less than per cent of the total
destruction. 1t was the fire which sue
ceeded the earthquake that caused the
awful havoc. There were $4,000 build
ings destroyed, worth in the aggregate
$105, In spite of labor troubles
and cloud of all kinds of difficulties
which would have daunted the people
of most cities. San Francisco within
the short period of twenty-five months
since the diaster has erected or is now
completing 10000 new buildings. worth
111000000. That is TO say, these new
structures represent SG000,OO0 more
than the original loss. and yet only
$5,000000 Of the capital necessary for
tulS SlSdlltlC NOIh VI upDullullB CAME
from outside of San Francisco.
What is equally significant, these
10000 buildings have more floor and
room space for business purposes than
the $4,000 that were destroyed. This
serves to show the larger and better
lines on which the new city has been
and is being rebuilt. The bank clear
ance of San Francisco showed a re-
markable increase last year over for
mer years. The resources of the ma
tional banks of the city are 100000, 900,
and those OF the savings banks are
$163 100000. while the deposits in the
commercial banks amount to more
than $70,00O,OOO. For a city the size OF
San Francisco, which, It Is believed,
has larger population today than It
had before the fire, these figures are
certainly impressive and give a good
idea Of the immense wealth and the
natural resources OF the city.
Whatever may be the result OF the
recent municipal troubles, San Fran
cisco now has an honest mayor and an
intelligent board Of supervisors, whose
integrity Is unquesdoned, and the
awakened interest Of the solid men Of
the city In public affairs gives the
assurance Of a square deal in all civic
matters.-Boston Globe.

Perilous Boating.

On the west coast Of Ireland, neal
the mouth of the river Shannon, are
several large sea caves which open
into each other. The visitor seems to
be floating through a submarine palace
of many halls whose roofs are either
as green as grass in the sun or blood
red. But the visitor needs a good
guide and good boatman, for the sea
is insidious and the labyrinth of caves
intricate. On one occasion, writes Au-
brey de We're in his "Recollections,"
soon after party had entered the
boatman suddenly shouted, Bend
down your heads for your lives!"
No one saw any danger, but the
boatman felt the placid water insensi-
bly, rising and knew that the tide had
turned. At last the visitors knew this,
too, for it was not until the boat had
assembled within n few inches of the
roof that it began to descend.
"Pull your bestw exclaimed the man
at the helm. IF the second wave
reaches us, we are lost" But before
the second wave reached the cave the
boat had issued from its mouth.

ITO Eat Crow"

Although the use of the expression
'to eat crow" in a metaphorical sense,
meaning to eat ones words, may well
have dated from the time of Noah,
when the bird was first looked upon
as unclean and not fit to serve as food
for man, it seems to have arisen from
the old ta.A of the officer and the pri.
vate.
A soldier, having shot a tame crow
belonging to one of his officers, was
discovered by the owner with the bird
in his hand. Selling the prlvate's gun.
the officer commanded him to eat the
bird as a punishment. With the fire
arm pointed at his head, the soldier
fell to, but no sooner had the officer
laid aside the gun than the culprlt
grasped it and compelled his superior
to join in the distasteful banquet.
The private was court martialed the
next day, and when he was asked by
the examiners what had occurred he
replied, Nothing. except that Captain
Blank and dined together."-Wash-
ington Star.
