Specializing on Roo.evelta Future

oIs I-dUI FIOHbtT-ITtSb,
No other American, wherever he goes,
stimulates so much speculation and GU
riosity concerning his own future as Mr..
Roosevelt does. His part has been phe-
nomenal, and the public must wonder
what the future has in store for so
young, so active, so keen-witted a public
man. Whatever the political cards may
hold for the future, it is certain that so
long as Mr.. Roosevelt maintains his
present hold upon the affections OF the
great mass of the people he will be COM
PEELED to play large and influential part
in the politics Of the republic.

BOsm for seafarinE Humanity.

ITHtsUUIVIIId
Hardly a day passes without some new
proof that wireless telegraphy has con-
ferred an inestimable boon upon seafaring
humanity. The latest instance is the
miraculous rescue of the crew of the British
frelghter West Point after the wireless had
made known their plight to the scouts of
the ocean. Davy Jones may still claim
his victims. but their number will be
steadily diminished in proportion as this
new force shall be more thoroughly de-
veloped and more widely applied to
shipping.

The commissary general of the army has
had one days haversack ration, of the
new type, supplied for all the troops at
each OF the encampments. This is not a
sufficient quantity to permit such a test
as is desired by the subsistence officers,
but In the absence of any provision to con-
duct q trial OF the haversack ration, which
would have afforded a more adequate and
convincing demonstration. 1t is not known,
Of course, to what extent the commanding
officers OF the camps will. improve the
opportunity to subject the haversack ration
to even this limited trial. There will be
an advantage in making use of the ration,
since II Is apparent that the observers in
the field would be in position to approve
Of what has been done or suggest changes
relating, for the most part, to the method
of enveloping the component articles. That
is a problem which has engaged the at
tention Of the army commissaries for some
time. 1t has been decided, for instance, to
change the form of tin can enclosing the
corned beef and corned beef hash and there
will be adopted a tin seven inches long and
two and one tenth inches square. A change
will probably be made also In the method
OF enVeloping the coffee which is now In
the form of two cubes in each ration, the
coffee being subjected to great pressure.
General Sharpe is investigating the advan-
tages OF using collapsible tin tube which
will contain the coffee without requiring II
to be subjected to much pressure. An
alternative proposition has to do with an
other form of tin tube with the coffee sub
jected TO a moderate amount Of pressure.
There is a question in some quarters
whether the coffee retains all its qualities
when it is compressed. although the ex-
'perts have testified that the deterioration
I II any is INSIGNIFICANT.

Much progress has been made in the last
few months by the war department to-
ward eQuipping and organising the medical
department Of the militia 20 as TO put that
branch in q state OF preparedness for war.
An important step in that direction WAS
effected by the detail OF an army medical
officer TO duty with the militia division Of
the War department and much benefit has
been derived from the camps OF instruction
attended by militia medical officers 1t has
been recommended by the surgeon general
of the army that the state authorities be
required to organise and thoroughly equip
a field hospital with its ambulance COM
peny for each three regiments in addition
TO the regimental medical service. The
great majority OF the militia commands
have been reported as insufficiently equip
ped with medical supplies, and many Of
them without any at all Many of their
medical officers apparently did not know
what supplies they should have nor how
they could obtain them. The preparedness
of their medical departments for active
service was generally reported as woefully
deficient The appropriations for the equip
ment OF the militia are liberal and the
medical department has on hand ready for
issue the needed equipment. II the atten-
ton OF the military authorities OF the
states is called to the necessity for the or
ganizstion Of field Hospitals and ambulance
companies and the necessity of such pro-
vision in order that they may be considered
to have the organization contemplated by

Mary, queen of Scots, was tall
and slender, but very graceful in
all her actions. Her face does not
seem to have been especially beau
tiful, for she had rather irregular
features, but her fascination Of
manner was irresistible. She had
a way of cooking her head little
to one side and of looking sideways
at the person with whom she was
talking that gave a strong impress
sion of coquetry. She had very
small hands and feet and was fond
Of showing both, often having her
gowns shortened in order that her
feet might be seen. She always
had her own hair cut close and
wore a wig to save the time and
trouble of hairdressing.

COUNTING MONEY.
For Coins Uncle Sam Uses Machines
That Make No Mistakes.

For Coins Uncle Sam Uses Machines
That Mako No Mistakes.
Uncle Sam is now too big, too
prosperous and too much in hur-
ry even to count his money, and in
stead of counting his coins by hand
he simply runs them through sort
of hopper operated by electricity,
and an automatic register shows
how many went through. The coins
fall into bag and are tied up and
sealed, the government guarantee
ing that the correct number is in
the bag. The machine can make
no mistake; hence Uncle Sam feels
safe in making his guarantee. In
this way all the money is counted
out at Washington to go to the sub
treasures and banks throughout
the country. The treasury does a
great deal of counting of money,
and for the purpose women are en-
ployed rather than men, as it has
been found after long experience
that women make fewer mistakes;
hence the operators at the electric
machines are of the female sex.
But there is one place in the life
Of the coin where it must be count
ed by hand, and that is when it
comes back to the treasury for re-
demption. The money then must
be gone over by hand to separate
the foreign, mutilated, worn out
and counterfeit pieces, work that
requires very quick perception, and
women have been found to do it
excellently well. Usually they can
detect counterfeit coin by its col
or as it lies among the others on the
table, but if not then the operator
captures it when she tosses it from
one hand to another, for there is a
false ring in its chink as it leaps
into her palm.
There are some interesting facts
connected with copper cents. You
would think that, inasmuch as pen
nies are money, they would be fair
ly well taken care of, wouldn't you
But they very mysteriously creep
away and are seen no more. We
have to put 81, 900, 900 of them into
circulation annually, and the ma
| jority never come back for re-
demption. You can hardly destroy
such coin, so we infer that as they
are changing hands frequently and
are of small value they are handled
carelessly and lost.
