I . I - 1 FAMOUS WEST POINT. NO MILITARY SCHOOL OP THE OLD WOItLO EQUALS IT. It Takes Poor Years of Very Hard Work to Become Proficient ia Arms The Dally Routine European School. "TT MAN ia the backwood may l not know of Yale or Harvard, but itfis almost certain that at one time or another he has heard ol West Point. Of all American institutions, th? Military Academy at that cLafming place is by far the most American on this continent. It is the people's school. Its pupils are sum- moned from every Congressional district. The only conditions which appointees have to fulfill before entering the Acad emy are that they must be healthy, have good morals and the necessary scholarly training as required by the law. During the time the pupils, or cadets, as they are called, stny at the Academy they are well paid, housed, fed, instructed, or, in one word, they are well prepared for their future position in life as officers of the United States Army. In exchange for all these advantages the Nation require the cadet to work hard for four years and become n brave and faithful sol dier. In Europe young men have to jay for tleir training, and there is no more dis appointing existence than the one which a poor officer leads abroad. To be succesful at West Point two things are needed, namely: Application and brains. This being so, the number of those that drop out of the course during four years naturally is large; but they are no loss either to the institution or Army. It must be a matter of pride, not only to the cadets, but to all Ameri cans, to look at the long list of distin guished men who have been graduated from West Point. The first thing that strikes forcibly a tisitor to West Point is the quiet, academic atmosphere that seems to have prevaded the whole place. Were it not for the few sentinels who gravely and silently pace up jand down here and there, one wouldj.hardly imagine that tie was within the boundaries of a mili tary institution. , It has often been as serted that too much academic and too little military learning is pumped into the heads of the cadet). This ia not so. Year after year history proves that there is just as much fight ing spirit in the American Army as among the soldiers of any in the world. West Point is one of the best, if not the very best, of the military schools of its kind on the globe, especially with regard to infantry drill. This, however, is not astonishing, considering that the cadets always march during the four years of their sojourn at the school. They never walk ; they march out of their beds in the early dawn, they march to breakfast, exercise, duty, dinner, supper, and after their day's work is done and the stars begin to shine, they march to bed. Each cadet is expected to do five hours' work every day ; but, a3 a matter of fact, they do much more, including gymnasium ex ercise. In the classroom they spend only one hour and a half in the forenoon and one hour in the afternoon. -' Beside the professional and physical Jnitruction, they aro taught fencing, rid ing and dancing. Graduates from West Point are well trained mathematicians, chemists and engineers. They are also matters in the various branches cf their profession; they know how forts should be made, guns built, bridges constructed, nd they are also fairly well acquainted with the literature of their profession. As for marching, no body of troops can rival the cadets, not even the First Regiment of the Prussian Footguards. The" corps at West Point forms the battalion consisting of four companies. Officers and non-commissioned officers are selected from the ranks. The daily routine is simple enough and it becomes perhaps monotonous to many of the boys after some time, yet they have no reason to bemoan their fate. At 6 o'clock a. m. the man falls in with his company at the reveille, at 7:30 he takes breakfast, at, 8 sharp he marches to his section room. The fencing lesson begins at 9:30, whence the young soldier returns to bar racks at 10:15. Dinner is taken at 1 p. m. At 2 o'clock the men march again to the section roo n, and afterward they drilfirom 4:15 to 5:30 p. m. Dur ing fall the cadets of the first, second and fourth class receive riding lessons. Nearly all of them become good riders. Though the cadets do not receive leave of absence uutil after the second year, when they are allowed to vkit relativts, social receptions and evening dances are frequent at the. Academy: From the middle of June to August the cadets camp, and it is during the.tr time " that especial attention is paid to. their military or rather tactic training. As a rule the boys look eager! for the camp ing period, . which is lcjs .monotonous than the barrack life. After four years of success! ul study the young cadet graduates and become commissioned officer, but his militarj education is not finished. If he be au engineer, he goes t Willett's Pointy if an artillerist, to Fort Monroe; if of ,fce cavalry or infantry, to' Fort Leavenworth,-and if he has chosea liirht artil lery as his arm, he proceeds to Fort Kiley. There is no military school in Europe which is conducted on the same princi ples as West Point. The Eco!.e Miii taire of France at St. Cyr is altogether different. The youoj man who wishes to enter must bare passed his examina tion as bachelier es Iettres or es sciences that is to say, he must have a college degree before he can apply for admis sion to the military school. There he receives a two years military training, for which he has to pay $300 per year. Individually he is much freer, and leave of absence is frequently given for a few days. He also has to pay for his clotb, and must sign an engagement that he is willing to serve five years in the regular army whether or. not he passes the final' ixamiuation as officer. Only cavalry tnd infantry are trained at St. Cyr, rhile the engineers and artillerists jnduate from the Eco!e Politecaniqus. The real cadet school in Franca is the ?rytaneMilitaire, where boys enter at the ge of eleven years and not older than jxteen. This institution is chiefly for ons of officers and of those non .ommissioned officers who have died on he battlefield. The life at the Pry ane is very secluded and the discipline innecessarily severe. The military icademy of England is at Sandhurst, nd in many respeets it is similar to St. Syr, though the preliminsry scientific 'lamination is less severe than in the atter place. The course lasts two (ears. With regard to Germany, its ''Kadettenschule" is an internate for, ioys whose fathers are either officers or fficials. It it necessary that aspirants nter at the age of nine years. The ' training is hard and entirely done by ,rmy officers. From the very first day i German boy 'enters the "Kdetten tchulu" his military training begins, and 't is not uniil he !s nineteen o twenty years old that he leaves as a full-fledged '.ieutenant. Apart from these institu tions, all European countries have staST academies where the science of strategy and ordnance construction is thoroghly iausht. New York Advertiser. T Abtut Potatoes. The greatest potatoe-pioJucing State in the Union is New York, which de votes to the crop (round nuubers being used in all cases) 370,030 acre3, aad raises 30,000,000 bushels, or fully oae seventh of the entire crop of the country. Iowa is second in amount raised 17, 000,000 bushels though its area ol 187,000 acres is eclipsed by the 223,00f acres which. Pennsylvania gives to thi raising of 16,000,000 bushels. Illinoii comes next, both in area and quantity oi product, while Wisconsin and Kaosa? cross each other for fifth place. The four New England States of Maine New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachu setts, however, lead the country in thf number of bushels produced per acre, the average for the four States beinj over 100 bushels an acre, which is at tained by no other State except remoti Washington, which promises to be ont of the finest potato-growing regions o.' the world. It is thus seen that the cooler climati of the Northern States is favorable tt this crop, as to many others in the list o standard food supply. Indeed, the po tato, as it is known and appreciated to day, cannot be successfully grown fo: any length of time in the warmei climates without tre introduction of fresh seed stock fiom the higher lati. tudes. The Bermuda potatoes, whick come early in the season to gladden the heart of the housewife with "new pot toei," are grown from northern seed, which Is regularly imported, while thj product of the island itself is shipped back to the markets of this country, 'an especially of the Northern States. Qooi Housekeeping. - me Binei if Bering. During the cruise last year of th Aleut, a schooner attached to the "Russian ;Siberian flotilla, the officers landed on Bering's Island in search of the grave of the discoveterof those straits. The bonej of Bering and his companions in misfor tune were found buried beneath a simple cairn of rough stones carelessly piled. (The officers resolved to replace the cairn by a more worthy memorial, and on theii return to Vladivostock a collection wa set on foot among the officers of the Si berian squadron, with the result that t handsome and durable granite tomb stone, surmounted by an iron cross, hai i now been completed. The memorial will be transported from Vladivostock anc placed over the lonely grave on Bering'i Island next month. Captain Titus Ber ing was a Dano by birth, bat was in thi Russian LHval service when his important discovery was made in 1728. He died December 4, 1741 (O. S.), from scurvy, on Bering's Island, where he and his com. panions had sought refuge after th founding of their ship. Button Tran tcript. saaaaaa. . Curious Taxss ia Belgian. A -curious electoral rule prevails ia Belgium, which disfranchises flve-aixtai of thepopulation ; yet it is regarded as quite equitable, and when in Brussels last month some severe comments I made on it were looked upon as in very bad taste. It is that no man can vote un less ou presentation ot hi3 last recjipt for taxes, and such voucher must s'ao.v that he contribute! a sum of about $3 or more during the year to the support of the Government. Either taxes are uot paid ve.y promptly or coups rati rely few Belgians are able to pay $8 a year in taxes, for the psreentage of voters to papulation is but as one to forty-five, one of the smallest proportions to ba found in any Government in which system of self-government prevails, St. Louis Globe Democrat, CANNING FACTORIES. THE MOST PRODUCTIVE COUNT x - IN THE UNITED STATES. Great Farms That Raise Fruits an3 Vegetables For the Canneries- . Corn From the Cob to the Can Peeling Machines. 'T -T" ORFOLK COUNTY, Massacha I setts, Is the centre of the can- -i ning industry in the East, and probably more farmers pro duce is raised there directly for the fac tories than in any other county in the United States. The question of finding a market for all of their surplus goods is answered for them by the factories where nearly everything grown on the farm can be sold. The farms as a rule consist of fire, ten, and fifty acre, al though there are some larger on es situ ated further back; but small farms pre vail in numbers and profitableness. Corn, tomatoes, beans, apples, aspara gus, and similar products are raised oa these farms for the canning factories. Every season the farmers make a new agreement either to sell all of their pro ducts to the factories at so much per ton or bushel, or take their chances of marketing what they can in the cities, and selling the surplus at the factories for whatever they can get. In same in stances the factory people own the land and lease it to farmers who sell all their produce to them. Another method in vogue is to hire farmers to run the farms at so much a year, and the factory peo- I pie make what they can from the bar gain; but generally this is an unsatis factory arangement. The first method of contracting with the farmers for their products meets with the most general approval. Farming land is worth from $30 an acre upwards, according to its location, fertility and other conveniences; but many of the owners. have brought the soil up to such a high state of fertility that $100, $200 and $300 per acre could not purchase it. Every acre is made to yield to its utmost, and instead of scat tering their labor over large fields, they concentrate it upon small ones. Hun dreds of car-loads of manure are brought there spring and fall to fertilize the land, and Canada sends quantities of her un leached ashes down for the same pur pose. " About the 1st of September the can ning concerns begin operations. Many of these are owned by the lobster can ning factory peop?e on the coast, and it is after the latter have closed that tha vegetable canneries be-in. The season extends them well up into the fall months, ending only when frost has; killed late vegetables. A great many people are then required to rush things through, both on the farm and in the factories. Vegetable gathering begins while the schools are closed for the sum mer vacation, and many children and women help in the work. Wages at the canning factories vary. On piece work good men make between $2 and $3 per day, and women from $1 to $1.50. Some of the men are paid by the day. One factory handles on the average seven and eight hundred bushels of tomatoes a day, and when the corn sea son presses heavily, the concern is capa ble of turning out 2400 bushels, although the average is about the same as that of the tomatoes. One acre of good corn yields generally from 1200 to to 1500 cans of corn, which nets the far mer between thirty ana forty dollars per acre. A few exceptionally rich soils produce more than this, and one has yielded as high as 2200 cans, netting the owner about $60 per acre. About one hundred pounds of corn, cut fiona the cob and ready for boiling, fill sixty cans. The corn is brought in the husk to the factory by the cart-loai. As soon as it is husked it is cut of! by patent knives and passes to . the weigher, who gives the exact weight to the farmer and to the head of the factory. The com has to be attended to as soon as it arrives, for if allowed to stand any length of time, it would heat and spoil. General ly the factory dislikes to handle corn that has been hauled more than four miles, or any that has not been fresh picked. The purchaser for the factory always examines it carefully before it is given to the huskers. When the corn is weighed, it is passed through a series of spindles which quickly take out all silk and cobs tht j nav remain. After this nearly everr- thing is done by machinery. It la passed into a hopper, and from this it is poured into cans that rotate around in frames. Another machine wipes the eans dry and shoves them along to have a patent cap put on and soldered down by men. A packer puts the cans in a rack, which carries three dozen at a time to the hot-water bath. In this the corn is thoroughly heated, and then a hole is made in each can to allow the steam and hot air to escape. It is a critical moment then, and the men who baudle the cam next must understatvl their business. Just as soon as the steam is out, a dro,? a! solder is put over the hole, and the cans are then reaJy for the final cook ing. A Lu?e tank is arranged for this cooking, and it is done entirely by steam. Each factory has its time-limit for cooking the com, and it is a tradi eecret that few care ti divulge. The whole success of the process depend upon the amount of evoking aud tha pressure of the iteaaa. at thli point. When they are properly cooked, the cans are turned over to the labelers ana packers, who prepare them for market. Other vegetables receive similar treat ment. The tomatoes are first scalded, and then carried to long benches where women rapidly take tho peels off, after which they pass through the same pro cess as tha corn. Squashes are peeled entirely by machine, and the seeds taken out and the meat cut in:o slices by ma chine before being boiled and crowded into cans. Paring machines are spinning iround all the time, taking the peel oil apple, pears and quinces. In fact, after they are prepared for the cans, all fruits ind vegetables are treated about the same, with the exception of a change in the time of cooking and the amount of lugar added to them. The output of one of these factories averages about 170,000 two-pouad can3 of corn, the same amount of tomatoes and squashes, 20,090 cans of apples, and the same of quinces, 5000 cans of pears, and 50.000 cans of beans. This means altogether between four and five hundred thousand cans of fruit and vegetables Most of these cans are the two-pound ones, but a few are gallon cans. An idea of the coming industry in the United States may be gathered from these figures when it is stated that there are more than 2000 canning concerns in the coun try. The output of many of them is much less, but a good majority of then average the highest figures. The profits of the business for the factories appear to be satisfactory, for there is geneially n it - i asaieiorau tneir cannea gooas one season or another; and the farmers ir this section at least are contented with their share in the enterprise. New York Post. ' Unprofitable Vocations. BurgTaty as a profession is not a sue cess in London. In 1891 there weie 532 burglaries committed, from which the sum of $14,562 was obtained, and there were 129 convictions of the crime. This gave $27.40 for each job, without counting the numerous unsuccessful at tempts. If only the persons who were convicted were engaged in the profession, then the average receipts for the year's work were $112 each. It is probable, however, that the number engaged was much larger, as the burglar seldom hunts alone, and the effect of this would be to lower the average of receipts. There is another distinct profession known in London as hou3breaking. and its followers appear to have done soaie- what better, as they operated 1329 timcV and obtained $51,319, an average ot $40.81 per job. Of these gentry 105 were caught and punished, - and if these got all the booty the average was $517.70 'per year, which is something more than a skilled mechanic can earn in that country. Even this is not profitable employment, since every year spent m prlslon divides the total of the receipts. It is not probable that the profits of the two professions are larger in other cities, either east or west of the Atlantic, as London with its vast wealth offers ex ceptional opportunities for burglary and housebreaking. Even without taking into account the criminal character of the business and the big risks, it can hardly fail to impress the young man yho is oontemplating a start in life that honesty is the best policy," and that he bad better learn some other trade, Troy (N. T.) Times. Wonderful Memory for a Child An Infant phenomenon has been dis covered at Plalsance, a suburb of Paris, in the person of a little girl, called Jeanne Eugenie Moreau, aged only five, but endowed with a m03t extraordinary memory. She is a walking encyclopaedia on all matters appertaining to the history of France, and especially of the great re volution; is an adept also in natural his tory, and at the same time answers with out hesitation or error practical questions about cooking, gardening, and house hold management. The youthful prod igy was born in Paris, in January, 1837, her father, Philippe Moreau, being a humble laborer, but descended frcm a revolutionary hero whose name figures in the annals of 1769, and who was dec orated by General de La Fayette aftei the taking of the Bastile. Oaring to tho poverty of her progenitor, Eugenie Moreau was adopted by a widow Madame Callay who, noticing the re tentive faculties of the child, cultivated and devoloped them with assiduity until the phenomenon has become capable of passing a stiff competitive examination and of putting to shame many a school boy or schoolgirl of maturer years and more expensive education. The fate of Eugenie Moreau will no doubt be that reserved for all intellectual prodigies of tender years. She will be exhibited to scientific men' and reported upoj; she will probably receive an offer from an enterprising showman, and in all likeli hood Eugenie, should she survive acade mical testings and public examinations, will eventually settle down to the life of a schoolmistress a calling for which her marvellous memory will pre eminently fit her.

New. Yori 3ril and Expresi, yEithttie Birds. The most remarkable instance of seithe ticism among birds is that exhibited by the Australian bower birds, who build long galleries in which to play, adorn ing them with shells, feathers, leaves, bones, or any colored or glittering ob ject which comes in their way. Captain Stokes described one of these bower birds as taking a shell alternately from each side of the bower and carrying it through in its beak. : Lumholtr describes several of these playhouses of the bower birds. He says they are always to be found "in small brushwood; neve. in the open field, and in their immediate vicinity the bird col lects a mass of different kinds of objects, especially snail shells, which are laid in two heaps, one at each entrance the one being always much larger than the" other. There are frequently hundreds of shells, about three hundred in one heap anc thirty in the other. There is usually a handful of berries partly inside and partly outside the bower." In his interesting took, "A-Dong the bannibals" Lumholtz describes a play ground of what would appear to be different species of this bird, shewing even a greater asthetic taste. He says: i "On the fop of the mountain I heard in the dense scrubs the loud and unceas ,ing voice of a bird. I carefully ap proached it, sat on the ground and shot it. It was one of the bower birds, with a gray and very modest plumage and of the size of a thrush. As I picked up the bird my attention was drawn to a fresh covering of green leaves on the black soil. This was the bird's place of amusement, which beneath the dense scrubs formed a square a yard each way, the ground having been cleared of leaves and rubbish. 'On this neatly cleared spot the bird had laid large, fresh leaves, one by thj side of the other, with considerable regu larity, and close by he sat singing, ap parently extremely happy over his work. As soon a3 the leaves decay they are re placed by new ones. On this excursion I saw three such places of amusement all near each other, and all had fresh leaves from the same kind of tree3t while a large heap of dry, witherea leaves was lying close by. It seems that the bird, scrapes away the mold every time it changes the leaves, so as to have a dark background, against which the green leaves make a bstter appearance. Can anyone doubt that this bird has the sense of beauty?" Chambers's Journal. African Elephants. A singular circumstance connected with the African elephant is that he has never been tamed and utilized for indus trial purposes as his Indian brethren have been. Their numbers have mush diminished of later years, but vast herds of them still rove through the interior, and would, , if captured and domesti cated, furnish valuable assistance in building and in road-makiug, to say nothing of their utility as beasts of bur den. But they are left to their original eavage condition, a state of things that arises from the lack of tame elephants to assist in catching and subiulng them, The greater . part of the elephant training of India is performed by the tame elephants, and without suoh auxili aries the domestication of the huge AfrU can ones is an absolute impossibility. The importation of trained Indian ele phants into Africa presents so many difficulties that it is hardly probable that the experiment will ever be trie 3. Philadelphia Telegraph.
