Tiles of Pearls.

Mother-of-pearl tiles, for bathrooms
or other decorative use, are the new
invention of Albert and Caesar
Vuillerment, of Philadelphia. The
shells of pearly mussels are crushed
to powder and mixed with just enough
cement to render the material plastic.

Joss Sticks

Aconite and camphOr are the prin-
cipRi chemicals used in the manufac-
ture of joss sticks. The aconite serves
to prevent ravages by rats and mice,
and the camphOr insures a steady fire
when the sticks are burned. The
aroma is supplied by many odOrifer-
Gus drugs used in the manufacture.

lations relate to the physical exam
ination of candidates and give the
standards which go to make up a good
soldier briefly, as follows:
Regulations Are Strict
"He must see and hear well; his
heart must he competent to stand the
stress of physical eXertion; he must
be intelligent enough to understand
and execute military maneuvers, obey
commands and protect himself, and
he must be able to transport himself
by marching as the eXigencies of mill
tary life may demand.
"In addition" says the War De-
partment." he will be wearing the uni
form of the United States and cer-
tain dignity must be his at all times.
The inferior men cannot fulfill these
demands"
It's gong to be a high brow old
Army-you can take the word of your
Uncle sam for that.
Enlistments are to be so handled
that the Army will not exceed 10000
men Mt any time; therefore high Of
ficials of the War Department expect
that the standard of men obtained will
be the highest the Army has ever had.
It is stated that the allotment system
will be used in obtaining men and that
each corps area will be authorized to
enlist men to fill vacancies only Re
ports will be called for frequently to
assure the department that the enlist
ments do not exceed the number of
vacancies.
The new recruiting regulations
raise no bar against the enlistment of
men with previous service, providing
that they can measure up to the new
standard. If q man wishes to come in
again, however, he must enlist for
three years, while the man who has
not served an enlistment may choose
between one year and three years as
the term of his service.
No Recruiting Agencies
No general recruiting stations are
to be established for the time being,
but the work will be conducted by the
various posts, stations and camps of
the Army scattered throughout the
nine corps areas. From each Of these
parties Of officers and enlisted men
are 20 be sent to nearby towns to
search out the best of the young men
who wish to enter or re-enter the
Army and to take them to the nearest
post or camp. Boys who are less than
eighteen years Of age are not to be ac-
/ cepted under any circumstances.
