The reported war losses in Europe
are not taken seriously in army cir
cles here. 1t was figured after the
Russo-Japanese war that it took 1O,-
600 bullets to kill a man. This and
other information that has reached
Secretary Garrison convinces him
that it is much more difficult to kill
men in battles nowadays than many
persons suppose.
Many inquiries are received as to
the exact fighting strength of the
United States army. The total en-
Irollment is 97,76O, of which number
4,ss3 are officers. This leaves 1886
vacancies in the authorized enlis.Ng
strength of the regular army. There
were 1882 desertions from the army
during the past year, a decrease Of
5Ga compared with the year before.
During the past year 1904 enlisted
men were discharged for disability.

for enlistment at recruiting stations

work of art that its great fame was
attributed. Its history was, however,
most picturesque and its antiquity
vas never disputed even when its mer-
its as a work of art began to be ques-
toned.
When in 1101 the crusaders under
Baldwin l penetrated the mosque Of
Cesarea, the ancient temple of Herod,
they found wonderful green tinted
octagonal dish which they believed
from its appearance to have been fash
ioned out of single emerald. A cen
tury later James de Voragine, arch
bishop of Genoa, the author Of the
Golden Legend, declared the vessel to
be surely the holy grail According
to the archbishops chronicles the vic
tors of Cesarea had divided the war
booty into three parts. The first conr
prised all the land Of the city, the sec.
nnd all movable treasure and mer-
cnandise and the third was the emer-
aid dish. The Genoese crusaders un
der Guglielmo Embrace chose the la.
ter as more valuable than all the other
spoils After the thirteenth century
The grail became the most venerated
relic of Genoa. 1t was preserved with
the most reverert care in the chapel
Of st. John. the Baptist of the San
Lorenzo cathedral. A guard Of honor
selected from the most noble Genoese
families was formed for its protection.
The severest penalties were imposed
for touching the grail with a touch
stone or any other object.
It was the popular belief that the
vessel was not made by the hand OF
man, but that Christ himself had fash.
toned it miraculously out Of common
clay on the day Of the supper. 9th
ers maintained the view that its origin
dated back to the time of the queen
of Sheba. 1t was asserted that she
presented it as the most precious gift
among all her treasures to King Solo
mon in Jerusalem, by whom it was
used in the ceremony of the paschal
lamb. However much opinion differed
as regards the origin ana composition
Of the relic, there was no divergence
nE the point that the grail was the
most priced possession of the mighty
rebdblic-nay, the greatest treasure in
all Christendom.
Skeptics did not dare to raise their
voices until the eighteenth century,
when some French visitors, on close
inspection, claimed to have discovered
air bubbles in the glary substance of
the basin.
Napoleon did not overlook the grail
of Genoa. He ordered it to be con.
yeyed to the cabinet of antiquities Of
the national library of Paris. A spe-
cial committee was thea appointed of
members Of the French institute Of
sciences, and they, after prolonged ex-
animation, declared the vessel to CON
Eist Of mere colored glass Of very little
intrinsic value. When Napoleon's
spoils, after his final defeat, were re-
turned again to their rightful owners,
the grail was, in 1915, restored to
its shrine in the cathedral of Genoa,
but much Of its mystic atmosphere had
vanished, never to return. Lately the
view was almost universally accepted
that although the extreme antiquity Of
the dish was not disputed-it is now
said to be Of old oriental, probably
Phoenician, origin--it has never been
employed as a table utensiI, but prob
ably served as priests hand rinsing
basin or as sacriicial vessel for
casting fragrant substances upon the

The house is no place, anyway, for

Yet boys must walk somewhere, and
what if their feet
Sent out of their houses, sent out

Should step round the corner and
pause at the door
Where other boys feet have paused

Should pass the gateway of glittering

Where jokes that are merry and

Ring out a warm welcome with fiat

And temptingly say, Here's place
