have taken the places of men, but the
standard of labor is as high as before

MILITARY OFFICERS INSIGNIA.
How to Tell Different Ranks in United
States Service.

1t is not likely that one civilian In
Augusta out of one hundred can tell a
military officers rank by his insignia,
but in these days when the soldiers are
with us and are required to wear their
uniforms at all times it is easy to tell
the rank if you can remember the
simple allegory:
Generals have stars on their shoulder
straps; colonies have an eagle; lieuten-
ant-colonels have maple leaf: majors
an oak leaf; captains two bars, first
lieutenants one bar and second lieu
tenants no bar at all. The allegory:
The second lieutenant enters the
service at the bottom with the fu-
ture before him. hence he has no
designating mark. The lieutenant
has climbed one bar of the ladder,
hence one stripe on his shoulder
straps. When the captaincy has been
reached he has climbed another bar
and wears two stripes. Over the two
bars comes the oak leaf and above it
the maple. Soaring najestical1y above
the tree sails the eagle and in the blue
vault Of the heavens above all others
are the stars-the leaves the major and
ieutenart-colore the eagle the
colonial and the stars the general

continuing at every performance, j.
Howard Albert will exhibit the world 8
greatest cathedrals and thoroughfares
and the tombs of famous men. These are
for the most part reproduced in colors and
are accompanied by a brief descriptive
lecture.
The pictures lectured by Mr. Albert
Thursday show in a most beautiful way
the glorious and sublime cathedrals of
Western Europe and America, dating
back 1479 years and coming up to July Is.
1914, the starting of the worlds great war.
This set includes the massive cathedral
found in the Russian capital Aat played
so important a part in the Russian revo-
luton. To get the interiors of some OF
these cathedrals the camera was exposed
one hour and fifty-four minutes.
Mr.. Ferguson has written: Not only IS
there built into one of the worlds great
cathedrals of the earlier centuries the &C
cumulated thought of all men who have
occupied themselves with the building
during the preceding centuries, but you
have the dream, the aspiration of the
bishop and abbot and the clergy for
whom 1t was designed. The master ma

knew all that had been done before them
and had spent their lives in struggling
to surpass the work of their forefatherS

not designed for the place where il is

Nothing was borrowed and nothing tina:

creeps out through every joint. You may
wander in such a building for many
weeks or for months together and never
see it all

noted men and women, including Queen

day while Kirk is out hunting he meets
in forest bower, a Spanish girl who
is known only as "Chiquita." He falls
desperately in love with her. and tries
vainly to discover her identity.
The story Of his making good, of his
winning of Chiquita despite the coun-
ter plottings of Mrs. Cortlandt, of the
clearing of his name, and of the final
decisive intervention, in Panamarian
affairs of old Darwin X. Anthony, is
strongly engrossing and varied by
many richly humorous episodes.
