a carpenter; a scavenger's son a scav-

shall we do with our boys in Hindu
ism. For a sire to start his son in any
other calling but his own would be
against his caste, and there all argu-
ment ends. For caste Is both social
and religious, and includes the calling
as well as the creed.

Although not as much improvement
has been made as in recent weeks,
railroads operating east from Chicago

Owing to the glitter OF the highly
polished figureheads on American bat
tleships and cruisers betraying their
whereabouts even more than did the
white paint upon their hulls, the Sec
retary of the Navy has issued an order
that all of the bow ornaments De re-
moved, and that none be placed upon
vessels now being built. There is one
exception in this order, however, ana
that is the figurehead upon the OIym-
pia, the flagship of Admiral Dewey IN
the battle Of Mariila Bay, now at
tached to the training squadron at the
Naval Academy.
This figurehead is the handsomest
ever made. and has no equal in any
navy of the world. It was designed
by St Gaudens and cost $1,000. Most
of the figureheads that are to be re-
moved are merely reproductions of the
seals of the States or cities after
which the vessels are named.

Montana Peak" for Troopers.

The general staff of the War De-
partment has under consideration the
sample of a new style of campaign
hat suggested for Army use This is
of the khaki color, with a crown some
what lower than the present campaign
hat, and with a brim which is wider
and sitter. 1t is considered that this
hat, worn invariably with the Mon
tana peak" will be more serviceable
than the present campaign hat. It is
the style of headgear which is worn
by cowboys on the Western prairfes
and appears to be best adapted for
those who ride horses. 1t is believed
that the cowboy must have some very
good reason for adhering to this par
ticular style of hat and this suggests
the ACCESSIBILITY Of at least trying out
the type of hat for those in the mount
ed branch of the Army. In the mean
time, the War Department is in nos

from officers and enlisted men Of the
line concerning the relative advantage
of wearing the campaign nat with the
so-called Alpine crease or with the

happens when views on such a sub
