The Presidents Military Map.


There is in the offices of the White
House a map twenty feet long and
eight feet high which indicates at a
glance the military information needed
by the commander in chief of the army
and navy. This map represents the
entire world. Different colors show at
once the possessions of twelve great
powers. Submarine cables, railways,
steamship lines, mail routes, are all
distinctly traceable. The naval and
military forces Of the various nations
gre indicated by miniature flags.
Those representing the United States
bear the names of commanders and
are readily shifted as the forces move
from place to place. The cavalry, ar
tillery and infantry are represented by
flags of their respective colors- yellow,
red and white-giving the number of
the regiment and the letter of the
troop, battery or company. Even the
smallest hospital corps is marked by a
tiny red cross. Ships of every class
are shown by red, white and blue flags
bearing the name of each and number
of her guns.-Harper's Weekly.

Eiuhtino the Hatpi1.

Another step has been taken in
Prussia against the use of long hat
pins, according to the Berlin CORE
spondent of the London Daily Tele-
graph. The railway administration Of
Saarbrucken has given orders to its
officials that women whose headdresses
are transfxed by these weapons are to
be requested to remove them, and if
they decline they shall be prevented
from travelling by trains and be call
ed upon to leave the stations. If they
refuse acquiescence they will render
themselves liable to fine. Possibly
the Prussian official is the only one in
the world who could carry out these
instructions without feelings of en-
barrassment," says Pail Mall Gazette.
