Historic Militia Company.

From the Boston Transcript
The Salem Light Infantry. which has
just turned into its 105th year, Is among
the older Of our active militia organiEa-
.tions. 1t has survived many companies
that were its rivals at the date Of lite
original formation. and 1t has q most
creditable record in peace ana war. AT
the time IL was first brought into being.
in 1905, this country had an army So
small and SO widely scattered that one
might travel many days without seeing
a uniform. Europe was, however. a
great camp. and the non military aspect
of the United States impressed Europeans
and Americans who had Travelled abroad.
One suggestion found In the history OF

felt when they noted how defenseless we
appeared. 1t was that members Of the
company should make IL q practice in
dividually to go to church or to any other
place of common resort In uniform, thus
creating the impression OF any lurking
foreign spy that Salem was q garrison
town and that the garrison could not be
surprised. In the vista Of one hundred
years back the recommendation OF
churchgoing in uniform to deceive the
foreigner rises to remind US Of how sim
pie were the times when 1t could be
graveIy advanced as a precaution against
possible attack.

ABOUT LIGHTNING STROKE.
Sir Re, Lankester Gives Warnings
Against Misplaced Courage"

Sir Ray Lancaster, In the London Telegraph.
There is a good deal of mistaken indif-
ference or. misplaced courage in regard
to the danger of lightning stroke. Every
year certain number OF human beings
and a larger number of animals are killed
by 1iP' ling in England. One meets indi-
viduais who exhibit recklessness In ex-
posing themselves on a wide. open plain
or a hillside during a severe and imme-
diately adjacent thunderstorm. They will
tell you that not one person to every mill
lion of the population is struck by light
ming in the course Of two years in Great
Britain, and that therefore the chance Of
their being struck is negligible. They
overlook the fact tEat the immense ma
jority seek shelter in houses during
thunderstorm-and that 1t is really a fact
either by folly or by inevitable misfor-
tune, are exposed as the most salient OBJ
jects on the surface of a plain over which
thunderstorm is in process are in
jured or killed by lightning.
The neighborhood of isolated tall trees
or of flagstaffs should be avoided. and If
shelter In house or cave cannot be
gained. the unfortunate individual who
finds himself exposed to a violent thun-
derstorm is acting wisely in lying down
fiat on the ground. Persons are not I'M
frequently Struck when exposed in an
open boat on the sea or lake or wide
river during thunderstorm. The lower
rooms or basement of house are safer
than the upper story; but the course Of
the current, should ii strike a house, is
often so eccentric as to defy provision.
Bell wires, telephone wires, electric light
wires and gas pipes may carry the cur
rent into the most unexpected quarters.
There are almost innumerable records OF
undoubted accuracy referring to the
strange and fantastic action of the electric
current within buildings and also as to
its action on the clothes and surface OF
the body of human victims. Not unfre-
quently. with no very serious injury other

treelike marks beneath the skin on one of
the limbs of the coloring matter from the

OF the picture of a tree near to which the
injured person was standing.
Wild animals seek shelter from light
ming beneath rocks and in thick forests;
they very sensitive to its oncoming,
and take precautions in time. On the
other hand. the unfortunate herds bred
by men have not the self-protective in
stincts so well developed. and perish by
lightning stroke in large numbers every
year on downs and meadowland. Many
birds are killed by lightning. Ships are,
as a rule, well protected against lightning
stroke, and there is probably no safer
place in a severe thunder storm than
railway train, since the iron rails and
wheels present a large and continuous
mass of conducting material.

FAMOUS SONGS.
How "The Ninety and Nine" Origi-
mated With Sankey.

From the Milwaukee, Sentinel.
The religious faiths of the world have
produced many remarkable and beautiful
lyrics, such as Newman's Lead, Kindly
Light" the Nearer. My God, to Thee
of Sarah Flower Adams, and Cowper's
God Moves in Mysterious Way" Many
of these were written under peculiarly
dramatic circumstances. as was particu-
larry the case with those by Cowper and
John Henry Newman alluded TO above
But wide as has been their use and
their application among Christians of all
creeds and sects, there is one hymn that
overshadows all others, whether we con-
slider it's widespread popularity or it's won-
derful evangelistic power. This hymn is

ID. Sankey, long the musical associate of
Dwight l.. Moody. These two men to-

united work was undoubtedly largely

The Endowment of Genius.

Every great genius has some particular
endowment. some one facet of human life
he has distinctly seen and understood to
express and to emphasize to men. In some
1t is tolerance. mercy. kindness: in others
1t is the thrill OF pity. the sense OF the
unending pathos OF poor human attempts
and thwartirigs; with others IL is point
ing out the dark passageways on either
side of life, the mystery that hens us
in before birth and after death. or with
others IL is showing the wonder and the
beauty of the shifting pageant. But the
lessons we learn from the great poet and
prophet just dead are chiefly the harmony
and beauty of nature, the power of moral
valiancy and the necessity for mind.
To begin with the first, he teaches Ma
ture, he breaches her, he argues about
her, he sets her UP as a benignant deity:
he pleads like an orthodox preacher for
faith and more faith in her. The chief
business OF life, he would seem to say, is
this reading Of earth and this joy of
earth. This Is keeping the faith with the
medium into which we are born; 1t is
accepting the moment and taking the
future on trust; IL Is enjoying the process
without demanding immediate results; II
IL listening to the harmonies which Ma
ture always sounds above the clamor of
her intervening discords. He looks upon
Nature much as Arnold looked upon
God, as a power, not ourselves, which
makes for righteousness. He holds il to
be a manifestation of power distinct from
man and yet closely akin to him. One of
the gates of understanding is the physi-
cal joy in Nature. and the bodily exalta-.

Gymnastics in Germany.

Prom humans
The Germans have a system that
reaches down into the school, the shop
and the factory. and extends out into the
woods and fields and Fairgrounds. They
care little for the achievement OF the
champion gymnasts or athletes; 1t is the
physical education OF the masses that
most concerns them Sometimes I think
that Germany carries her admiration for
mass work little too far, and often has
cause to show her enthusiasm for the
quantity rather than for the quality OF
work that is being done. Here America.
England and Germany and all of the
European countries may learn something
from Norway. Sweden. Denmark and
Finland. Gymnastic competitions and
athletic contests are excellent things, in
so far as they require practice and fur
nish incentive for effort. But it seems
that the first essential i'm any competition
or contest is 20 consider whether the

Our Increasing Red Men.

From the New York World.
How many Indians were in America
when the white men came nobody will
ever know. The question whether red
men are fewer or more numerous now
than then can never be settled. A fact
Just established by official figures In that
in the United States today are more than
100000 Indians, where twenty years ago
were about 100000 And Canada has re-
ported recently q gain of 10000 in ten
years.
The whooping Indian OF the old-times
novel is gone. There are no more crafty
redskins in the forests such as those who
faced or eluded Daniel Boone and Kit
Carson. Oppression. idleness and dis
sipations born Of contact with the con-
auering whites decimated some old tribal
ranks. Civilization was not for all the
people of the tepees. But the evidence
of the census Is that the tide liz running
now for regeneration and increase; that
more generous treatment OF the In
dams in matters of land and rights and
more determined methods OF uplifting the
race by industry are bearing fruit.
Canada is said to be dismayed by It's
Indian growth. For us the gathering
of new numbers may mean a new prob
lem. but the fresh issue must surely be
more satisfactory to deal with than that
old one which seemed chiefly to involve
measures OF defamation. repression and
for the agencies investigation.
In mental equipment the Indians rank
easily above the average negroes. In
their new estate they have produced ev-
cry variety OF active manhood from
statesmen. teachers, doctors and preach
ers down to good-for-nothings-eve as
the whites. We can accept their numeri-
cal influence as the physical evidence OF
racial progress succeeding the old
processes OF decay under abuse. =

figures at least once every season.
This is decidedly bewildering. Surely
there ought to be a statute of limitation
as to the position of our waist. A dancing
man who went to India four years ago
would be distinctly puzzled on returning
at this present as to how he should waltz

1t not?
But consult the fashion plates and you
will see that waists are either up very
high or down very low. Why not once

make Mime. La Mode design her fashions
accordingly? 1t would be quite easy IL we
made this hard-and-fast rule about waists,

ing.
