commander. At one post In the
west the police force every day has
to be as large as for the neighboring
city of 10000 inhabitants. There
are twenty-three miles of roads to
be kept up and water supply for
2,4OO people. Such an establish
ment, IL placed within some quiet
quarter of a city, would effect very
large saving, and probably promote
the efficiency of the service.
Pacific Shipping.
Speaking on the subject of Pacific
coast coal and Pacific coast shipping,
the Railway and Marine News says:
There is not only no reason why
Pacific coast coal should not be
and is uot perfectly suitable to our
Navy for peace purposes, but there
is no justification for using any
other. what under the sun would
fleet on the Pacific coast do In war
time? Presumably haul coal across
by rail. The worst that can be said
of Pacific coast coal for naval work
is that II is more smoky than that
bought on the Atlantic coast. It Is
slightly inferior in heating value.
But when freight is added II will
do double the work for dollar that
the eastern coal will do" In bit
terness of spirit. our contemporary
says in conclusion: THE Navy
seems to think It exists for itself
alone and is so bound up in It's ETH
quette and ceremonials that 1t has
become entirely oblivious to every
other interest. Here is another
swarm Of foreign tramps turned
loose on the Pacific coast without
engagements, to further demoralize
an already languished shipping. II
the Navy cannot and will not move
finger in time of peace to help our
shipping, God help 1t in time OF
war. Perhaps the lack of eastern
coal furnished by favored contract
| ors under n so-called standard spe-
cification,' will be convenient ex-
cuse.''

Although catarrh Of the head and
throat are not infrcqucnt in hot eli
mates, yet catarrh of the stomach, ca
tarrh of the bowels, catarrh of the kid
ncys, and catarrh OF the pelvic organs
are most frequent.
The cafarrh ofuarrn climates assumes
phase peculiar TO such countries.
1t may not Mt all resemble the catarrh
Of cold climates in appearance, yet 1t is
the same disease.
Catarrh means congestion OF mucous
membrane.
Generally In the cold climates the
membranes cftenest affected by catarrh
are the ones lining the nose or the cavi-
ties Of the head, throat and lungs.
The mucous membranes oftcnest af-
fccted by catarrh in hot climates are the
o.es lining the organs Of the abdomen
and pelyis.

TO Watch Operators.

To Watch Operators.
Rear Admiral Schroeder has is
sued an order to his fleet captains
that a shary surveillance of wireless
operators must be observed and that
every word sent or received must
be kept account of and all uncon-
ventional talk with other operators
must be stopped. Wireless is not to
be used between ships that are I'm
signaling distance of each other, but
II the commander in chief calls by
wireless for reports or for informa-
ton such reports will be made by
individual ships ordinarily by signal.
When any ship is within reach OF
shore wireless stations the appara-
tus on board ship will not be used
except in urgent cases and for
period of five minutes before noon
each day, when the wireless noon
signal fro mthe Naval Observatory
at Washington is expected to be re-
ceived. In using the wireless Nd
miral Schroeder urges that concise
ness in framing messages be studied,
and adds that the "air is getting to
be too busy to admit of messages be-
ing exchanged in conversational

Aeroplane for Navy.
The Navy Department Is propos-

vice, one that will rise from or land
safely on the water. There can be
no doubt of the value of such a
machine, having a speed OF 40 miles,
even for few hours. An airship
would be particularly valuable in
scouting for submarines. II Is pro-
posed that the aeroplanes be carried
on scout cruisers. and tentative
plan for erecting covering for the
machine on the after-bridge has beeA
worked out.
Housing of Troops.
The Secretary of War has of late
been making a study OF the CONT
mental systems of the methods pur-
sued in the armies of Europe and of
this country. II Is generally the
practice of Germany, France, Spain
and Great Britain to have large bar
racks in the cities and keep whole
regiments in single building COW
ering a city block and enclosing a
courtyard. This results in saving
in transportation, in time. in cost
of buildings, in heating and in
many other, respects. Our method
of having large army posts so far
from cities and from convenient and
inexpensive transportation is in
tended to keep the men from the
temptations Of city life, but 1t is
found that in the armies of the Con-
tinent the behavior of the men Is,
II anything. better than with us
It seems as II the consequence OF our
keeping men away from temptation
was a cause OF storing up of the
appetite, and wen finally liberty Is
granted the man hurls himself head
long into a revel ~ indulgence. One
of the false economies of our post
system is the endless amount of ad-
ministration that devolves ION a post

about twenty tons of specie aboard.

SHOE KNOWLEDGE.

When you buy shoes, look at the
leather just as much as the STYLE
Leather dies; that is, it loses it's
elasticity and brilliancy if kept over
a year. Possibly you have a pair OF
shoes you have kept nicely for over
year, yet they appear to be old
1t is because the leather is dead
Such shoes wear as we'll as almost
any kind, but they do not look new.
Just now dealers are selling strap
ped shoes. When you get a pair
they must fit very snugly at the
sides if they do not, as soon as
they stretch you will notice they
open at the sides and look unattract-
i've on the foot. A shoe that straps
must be a trifle narrow, not too much
so for comfort, but enough to hofc
the sides firmly to the foot, for there
is only one strap, and that is over
the bend of the instep and will not
hold the gaping sides together.

Shakespeare AS She Is Spoke.

The Shakespeare club of New Or
leans was noted for its amateur per
formances. Eyerybody's says. Once a
social celebrity, gorgeous in the cos
tune of lord IL waiting, was called
upon to say: "The queen has
swooned"
AS he stepped upon the stage his
friends applauded vociferously. Row
ing his thanks, he faced the king and
in high-pitched voice said "The
swoon has Queened."
There was roar of laughter. He
waited patiently until it had subsidized
and tried again: THE sween has
cOoned."
Again the house roared and the
stage manager, in a voice that could
be heard all over the theater, said,
Come off, you doggoned fool"
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in rasping falsetto
as he was being assisted off the stage,
screamed: "The coon has sweened!"

"The latest is a ruling by the third

the extent of an extra number of

1t is the opinion of the average
editor that vigorous legislation is
necessary to right the wrongs against
the newspapers and printers of the
country. The movement for a re-
vision of the postal law regarding
the printing of stamped envelopes by
the government seems to be gaining
strength. Many press associations
have pledged themselves to see to it
that senators and Representatives are
urged to the point of enacting stat
utes that will relieve newspapers

and unfair treatment at the hands OF
the postoffice department.
May this speedily come to pass.

THE SILENT GUN.

A bill before the legislature at Al
bany made it felony to sell to pri
vate individuals arms equipped with
silencer. Mr.. Hiram Percy Maxim
inventor of the silencer, protested
against it's passage upon the ground
that his appliance cannot be used eff
fectively upon reVolvers, or any gun
with barrel less than twenty inches
in length, and will therefore offer nc
advantage to assassins. It is hard TIC
see the force of his argument. AS
sassins do not by any means contine
themselves to revolvers, and the
silencer will open to them new op,
portunities to lie in ambush and pick
off their victims with little danger
of detection.
sportsman's club upon a recent
occasion, endeavored to prove to his
auditors the many advantages which
he claims the silencer offers to hunt
ers, and to refute the objection that
it's use in the chase is unsportsman-
like. One ventures to say that no real
sportsman who heard him-he who
conforms to the ethics of the hunt
was seriously impressed. Mr.. Maxim
made the claim in this address that
the crash of the bullet passing
through the air, the noise of which
is in no wise diminished by the
siIencer, is what really startles the
game, and gives it ample warning of
danger. But he evaded reference to
the fact that the sound of the bullet
alone, unaccompanied by the local
report Of the rifle from which it is
discharged, gives no warning of the
direction whence it comes, and that
a whole herd of deer might be slaugh-
tered by an INSCRIPTIONS hunter be-
fore the animals could discover their
enemy and escape.
The silencer reduces the recoil of
high power rifles to a negligible
point. and in consequence makes for
accuracy. Neither the point Of 81
lence nor the point of increased &C
curacy, however, will have weight
with any man who has the true red
blood of the sportsman in his veins.
Both will undoubtedly appeal to the
game hog" or to the man who
goes to the woods only to kill. True
craftsmanship consists not in killing,
but in pitting human skill against
keen animal instinct For this reason
the camera is more and more becom-
ing the weapon of the animal and
wilderness lover. To use a silencer
and rob a confused animal once fired
upon of the possibility of retreat is
to take a mean and low advantage
unworthy a real man. Give the game
chance! 1t is even a question
whether it is fair play to use repeat
ing arms, especially with high power
ammunition.
There are other decided objections
to Mr.. Maxim's invention, not the
least of which is the power of de-
struction which it offers poachers and
hunters who disregard the law and
kill out of season. The users OF
this appliance in the woods should
be classed as game hog" and
looked upon with the same contempt
His ideals of craftsmanship are nc
higher than those of the man who
resort sto jack-lanterns in deer hunt
ing, or the one who dynamites fish
No true sportsman, no matter who
be is, will hunt with a silencer OF

ters near a deserted house whose neg
lected fields overlooked the ford At
lis p. m. Hancock and Warren, hav-
ing met with no opposition in their
advance to the heart of the Wilder
ness, Grant telegrapLed for Burnside
whose Ninth Corps was stretched
from the Rappahannock to Manassas,
to make forced marches until he
reached Germanna Ford. There is
great reason to believe, it seems to
me, that he should have brought
Burnside up nearer before the move
ment began. For as it was, his men
we're nearly marched to death to
overtake us; and as a result, they
were altogether too tagged out for
the work they were called on to do
the morning of the second day. The
same criticism, however, can be made
on Lees failure to bring Longstreet
within striking distance. Though to
be sure, he diQ not know whether
Grant would cross the Rapidan at
the fords above or below him; if
above, then Longstreet was just
where he would have needed him. l

ed a move on that flank, more than
on his right, for there thecountry was
so open that he could not conceal
the paucity of his numbers, as in the
ilderness.-Morris Schaff, in Allan

of the village, flock after flock, walk
ing in orderly troops each to its own
pen, all talking together at the top OF
their voices; with dear little ragged,
fair-haired goose girls in attendance,
lust like Hans AndeTson's heroines.
Each of the villages had the right of
pasturing SO many geese upon the
Crafts fields, and in return they were
obliged to give him a certain number
at the great goose-slaying in the
autumn. These geese "Mamselle' ard
her helpers cured and sailed for win

teemed a great delicacy. Hundreds
