MmpliAad Voortlflcatloiu. Bicycles and Au tomatic Cans Are Modern Feabare. It f4eenw to Ik; the general opinion among United States army officers that the development of military science in the immediate future will be in the di rection of simplified fortifications, great er utilization of the bicycle and the ex tended use of some form of automatic gun. The modern army engineer sees little use in raising great mounds of earth such as used to be done when hasty and even permanent works were needed. The bigger the earthwork the greater tho mark for the enemy's guns. A hole in the ground has been the theo retical formula for fort building, and now that we possess fieldpieces with disappearing carriages it can be prac tically carried out. A gun that is capa ble of rising out of an innocent looking hole, pouring forth great volleys of death dealinp bullets and then sinking out of sight, leaving hardly a trace of its presence and certainly nothing to fire at, is formidable enough to invest the new theory with all needful logic. It would lie to an enemy what tho hollow road near Waterloo was to tho cuiras siers of NajHileon. The rifle of the futuro will be the au tomatic rifle. This is the conclusion of military men not only of this, but of other countries. General Willo, a Ger man army expert on the subject of fire arms, says decisively that it will ulti mately be the rifle in general use by the armie of the world. Its particular point of merit is its capacity for doing away with the mechanical ojieration of load ing. In effect it does its own loading, leaving the soldier free to attend to the business of firing, thus concentrating his attention on his opponent and rendering his aim surer. A3 pointed out by General Willo, the force of the recoil of the automatic gun is employed for charging and closing the breech, and tho firer has only to let off the shot in order again to load the weapon, so that the number of shots dis charged without an effort is precisely the same as the total contents of the magazine. The only comparatively weak part of the automatic gun lies in its springs, but, as they have been found after tests made in Austria to withstand the wear and tear of from 10,000 to 14, 000 discharges, this does not count for much. New York Sun. ROYAL HUNT TOMFOOLERY. What It CcMtts to Maintain the Famous Sport. A year or two ago, says the editor of London Truth, I took up the matter of the royal buekhounds, for I have always thought that anything with less of the redeeming feature of Fport than to cart a tame deer to some spot, turn it out, hunt it with dogs, and, having hunted it down, put it back in its cart for an other day's "sport" cannot well bo con ceived. When I was engaged in this crusade, I received many letters assur ing me that the deer like being pursued by dogs, although how the animals con veyed their singular idea of pleasure to the writers of the letters was not ex plained to me. Now that the bishops have joined the crusade, we may hope that the cruel tomfoolery of this royal hunt will mkiu cease. Tin country pays the costs. The sal ary of tin- liiiuster of the buekhounds (1,200 per annum) is always enjoyed by a nobleman, the occupant of the post changing with a change of ministers. Besides this there are salaries to hunts men, whips and others, the purchase and keep of horses and hounds, etc. I should supiose that the total outlay must Ik about 3,000 per annum. This is defrayed, it is true, from tho civil list. Hut when the amount needed to maintain the sovereign was investigated in order to iirrive at the total necessary, tills expenditure was included in the estimatv. It iB suggested by the bishops that the quarry should cease to be deer and should henceforward bo a red herring. But the idea, as an attribute of majesty, of the sovereign keeping a lot of dogs to run after a red herring is childish. Grant Drilling the Home Militia. Grant left West Point in midsummer and sTH-nt his fnrloujrh in Bethel and Gorgetown. lie was invited by the offi cers of the militia to drill the troops at "general muster," which took place at liu-sselsville during August of 1844. William Wilson and Peter Wamax are two of the few witnesses living who re iuciuIkt the splendid occasion. It impressed itself ineffaceably on young Wilson's mind Ucause it seemed wonderful, even revolutionary, to see a young lad such sis Cadet Grant looked, ordering the pompons old officers about. "He looked very young, very slender and very pale. "He was dressed in a long blue coat, with big epaulets and big brass buttons, and liis trousers seemed to bo white, though they may have been a light gray. He wore a cap and a red sash around his waist, and he rode his horse in fine style. "I was particularly struck with his voice that is, his way of using it. The old men barked out their commands. You couldn't tell what they said. Noisa weined to be their idea of command, but Grant's voice was clear and calm and cut across the parade ground with great precision. It was rather high in pitch, but it was trained. I could tell I that, though I was only a boy. " Ham lin Garland in McClure's Magazine. The Circle County. The oddest shaped county among tho 8,000 which go to make up the separata divisions of the various states is Warren county, Tenn. It lies almost exactly in the geographical center of the state men tioned and is about as near a perfect cir- cle as any division of land could possi i 11 v lie.

C The Government Has Provided Learning for the Boys, Indians and Negroes, but has flade no Provision for flothers. Scientific motherhood means more than a casual thought can grasp. It means a grandeur, nobler race, an al truistic humanity, which shall fit the earth for the Savior's advent. It means the reformation of the drunkard the redemption of the criminal, the repentance of the murderer, the aboli tion of asylums for the blind, dumb and insane. It means the elimination of selfishness, the death of oppression, the birth of brotherly love, the uplift ing of mankind through true spiritual Christianity, and the control of hered itary weakness of mind and of body, all by pre-natal influences. The blessed results will not come in a day, nor a year perhaps not fully in a century but the sooner the first effort is made toward it the sooner will its full accomplishment be reached. Oliver Wendell Holmes said truly that the time to begin to train a child is one hundred years before it is born, and now is not too soon to begin to conquer the evils which fill the earth. It is evident that woman's most imperative duty to the government under which she lives is to supply a population composed of the highest types of men and women, and it is equally evident that a scientific moth erhood is necessary to the proper per formance of this duty. But all duty is reciprocal, and it is the duty of the government, which seeks the welfare of its people to offer to its women an opportunity for the attainment of this scientific motherhood, which will be fraught with so much good to the nation. The message or a nation's great ness is the elevation of its women, and any increase of national greatness is dependent upon the mothers of the na tion. Nowhere on earth does woman hold a more honored position than in the United States, and it is hoped that this government will lead the world in offering to its women the opportu nity for acquiring the scientific train ing necessary to the performance of the high duties of woman's sphere. Scientific motherhood will gain no marked impetus while restricted to a fortunate few. It must be made a na tional possibility in order to become a national benefit. Like all our nation al blessings, it should be "by the peo ple, for the people," and it is the duty of the government to give women an opportunity to acquire this scientific knowledge. It can be done through the estab lishing by the government of a nation al training school for women, where the women of the nation shall be trained in the science of domesticity and peace, just as at West Point and Annapolis the men are trained in the science of war. In this school womanj should be taught the highest domestic science in all its diversities. She should be taught appplied chemistry because the nutrition of the nation is her charge. She should be taught architecture because she makes the homes, and should know what architectural con ditions are most conductive to health and comfort. She should be taught sanitation, disinfection and the prevention and care of disease, because it is to her arms all the nation retnrns in sickness and death, and should be familiar with the foes of health and know how to combat them. She should be taught the care of infants and their foods, for upon her knowledge and care the sons of men are dependent for strength in manhood to make the nation great. She should he taught the applica tion of science to all departments of household labor, with a view to light ening that labor, in order to give more time to scientific thought and study. She should be taught the mysteries and possibilities of heredity, and im pressed with her duty to improve and develop her race, for the benefit of mankind, and for the government which provides such opportunities for woman. There will be no need to teach pa triotism in such a school. Patriotism, already spontaneous in woman's heart will increase an hundred-fold when she is recognized by her country. This national training scho l should receive its quota of pupils from each State, just as do the other national schools, and its curriculum should em brace a higher course of study than is pursued at the industrial colleges of the various States. These State insti tutions form the first step by which woman may ascend to a more perfect womanhood, and this national train ing school will be the second step in that ascent. One will develop her practically, the other will develop her scientifically. The first will give her skillful hands to obey practical minds, and the second will give her deeper scientific knowledge, and teach her how to use it tor good. The boys of the nation, the Indian, the negro, have all received educa tional opportunities; the arts and sc enceshave been promoted, but wo man and her natural colleague.domestic science, have been apparently forgot ten. The schools at West Point and Annapolis for the training of the boys of the nation; the schools for the train ing of the Indian:and the negro; the schools for the advancement of agri culture and mechanic arts, are all proper and useful but are they all sufficient? The elevation of domestic science to its proper place among the other sciences will do much to dispel the poverty, drudgery and disease, which are the results of ignorance, and hich in so many homes rob woman's heart of happiness and life of its bright ness. Thrift will dispel poverty, but thrift is born of knowledge and training. Drudgery encourages stupidity, and disease feeds on the ignorance of wo man despite all the doctor's learning. Would it not be well to recognize woman as the real guardian of the public heabh, and teach her whatever is necessary to the proper and safe performance of these duties? It is true that there are schools in some of our cities where such things are taught, but they do not reach far enough nor multiply results fast enough. It must be a natural opportunity to produce national benefits. To benfit the peo ple it must be broad and extensive, and should be done for the people, by the government with the people's mon ey. This would assure its performance on a scale commensurate with the im portance of the subject." THE HOUSE OF THE SILENT YEARS. The Silent Uouse it standeth wide, Ye9, open is the door: The winds of Peaee from every side Blow roiind it evermore. Unhewn of axe, unmade of hands, Its walls so broad and still; Like to a sea the pale gray lands, Flow up to the gray still. Candle were vain, and sun but dim, For here the dark doth cease; Nor drink nor meat is spread for him Who suppeth here with Peace. Arrows speed not, nor hurtling spear, Nor plague cometh to slay; Viol and rebec make no cheer For song hath had his day. Grief shattereth here his weary cup, No watch the hours do keep That they may call the red East up, Or soothe the West to sleep. Fashions, desires, dreams and fears. Fade past the threshold gray; One day is as a thousand years, A thousand years one day, Litette W. Iteeie. TRUMPET CALLS. Ram's Horn Sounds a Warning Note to the Unredeemed. Young lions are often very lean. Getting the big head shrinks the heart. There is no suffering like the cruci fixion of love. Xotbing is so destructible as the peace of Christ. The fears we borrow are the hardest to drive away. Whenever the flesh is on the throne, the devil is king. Unless you want to be poor, don't try to keep all you get. The man will always be busy who truly follows Christ. The devil has no better helper than a harmless looking lie. It is harder to dine with some men than it is to fast alone. We are rich, not in what we have. but in what we cannot lose. Is there anything the devil can't make out of an envious man.' Like to do good, and you will never tire of your employment. When you pray for a revival, don't go to church with a long lace. The more men disappoint us, the more we should have faith in God. When a little man is lifted up, every body finds out that he is little. The man who thinks he knows oth ers, is a great stranger to himself. The man who would be considered wise often turns out to be otherwise. Do away with a personal devil, and there is no need of a personal Christ. It is a mistake to call anything success that is not according to God's plan. If you knew that to-morrow would be your la6t day, how would you spend this? There are some very important les sons which can only be learned from a mistake. It is doubtful if there is any man who has not at some time in his life been a hypocrite. The man who has lived only for him self has wasted his time and robbed the world. There cau be no true and abiding comfort and peace that is not rooted and grounded in faith. The man who has never used his eyes to consider the mercies of God, has used them to small purpose. Turning a mad dog loose is a trifling thing, compared to what the devil cau do with a gossiping tongue. In the very same breath with which Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled," he also said, "Believe." The roau who refuses to talk in the light as God gives it. has only him self to blame for what happens in the dark. In the Tombs Corridor. Warden Sentenced? How's that?

From time to time the papers report a movement of Northern colonics int.. different Southern states in the South. Most of them have been favored in this way more or less. Georgia, Ala. bama, Mississippi and Texas have been particularly favored by farmers in the north coming to cast their destines with the people. North Carolina sec ond to none in natural advantages and ' inviting opportunities, has had smie i influx, but the outgo of natives is too arge for very much increase m popu lation. The south is very favorable land for people with means who live in the bleak, cold North. Here the farmers may work more than eleven mourns in iiic ycai oui oi uuors. I nc i . i . . . . . . f i -i i. . exodus from the frigid Northwest has j not been so large as one might reason- I ably expect. If tens of thousands; would come this year they could find 1 desirable lands, very cheap, and not ' distant from railroads. But the ad van . tages are not limited to profitable ! farming. There are good scho ls for ! children, churches cljse at hand, and a delightful climate. There are nnn v opportunities to engage in business of some kinds, and new ways to be opened. There have been discouraging things said of the South by hostile 'Northern prints and no little misrepresentation is made by designing writers. A visit in person to the South is quite apt to dispel prejudice and show that the liars are not to be trusted. There will be a more general movement after awhile. The real advantages offered in the South will be better understood. Northern prejudice will more and more die out, and by A. D. 19 10, we may anticipate a great influx of northern men, ai d among them hundreds of capitalists seeking cotton milling, mining, etc. The unmistakable progress in the South as to cotton manufacturing is so well known in the North now, and specially in New England, that it is not improbable that many plants will be started here by 1900 and by men who are now manufacturing in the Middle and New England States. It pays to bring mills to the cotton. In the Baltimore monthly called the Southern States a Michigan farmer writes as follows : Every farmei in my neighborhood wishes to sell and get away. Southern vegetables and fruits have ruined our markets for these products. We cannot compete with a region that can-grow two crops of potatoes in one year on the same land and in which the farmer can live one-third cheaper than he can in Michigan." The New England writer, newspa pers and manufacturers have resisted pertinaciously and vigorously the idea that the South had any real advantage over New England in cotton milling. Among the wise men who fought the idea was Edward Atkinson, an eccen tric dabbler into political science and a theorizer on paper. He spurned the opinion and showed his breadth of vision and soundness of information. Other men more practical, more dis cerning have found out better, and know that the South does have real and important advantages over that popu lar and very rich section as to the great manufacturing industry. Still the concession is not general. Ephriam is still wedded to his idol, and blinded newspapers "up there" publish state ments as to the South that are as absurd as ignorant. The Boston Transcript is one of these ignoramuses and insists that the South lacks skilled labor and managemeut, and, therefore, will never be able to compete with the wide-awake, experienced, energetic New England. That is our language in interpretation of its contention, so fatuousjand futile. It even asserts des titution down this way of capacity to organize and develop and manage. The hundreds of excellently operated mills in North Carolina and other Southern Statts, show the folly of sunii an assertion, and in fact exhibit as consummate mastery of detail and genius for management as New Eng land could exhibit. Referring to this bald and unsustained claim for New England's great supply of managing talent and the South's great destitution the Charleston Neivs ami Courier a day or so since said this: "There is a statement in our New berry correspondence to-day which will make our Boston contemporary dizzy. In Newberry the other day a native of that town was applied to take the place of a weave room boss made vacant by the resignation of a skilled Northern worker. D. A. Tom kins, of Charlotte, a native of this State knows as much about the science and practice of cotton manufacturing as the sharpest Yankee in New Eng land. James L. Orr, a native, is the successful manager of Piedmont mills. Ellison Smith, a native, is managing with great profit the Pelzer mills. George Coffin, a native, is making money at Enoree. W. A. Courtenay, a native, has one of the finest and best mills in the South at Newry. W. B. Smith Whaley, a native, is making great success of his mills at Columbia." We venture to say that there are now a score of men in North Carolina who could eatily take control of New Eng land's best plants and work them as safely and profitably as the present managers. They are in all the South , ern States. STORMY JORDAN'S SALOON. You Can Buy a Drink There But a Warning Goes with It. (New Yoik Sun.) O ie of the first sights that greet the stranger as he alights at Ounemw.i, la., is i he sign over Stormy Jordan's estab lishment. " The Way to Hell," is what the stranger reads. Perhaps he may p.ias on with a shudder. It he enters he will find styns on the wail conve)Hig other warning. "Nose Paint Here," reads mie. "Hell Fire on Tap," sa)s another. "Beware the DninLarti's Death and Damnation," is the warn ing of the third. I'erhaps, loo, an advertisement of the Keeley cure hans on the wall. The customer seats himscll at a table and lakes up a pa jie'. It is quite as likely to be a temperance tract as not. John B. Gotigh's "Platform Echoes" may be at one elbow ami " IVn Nights in a 15.tr Room" at the other. A little bit dazed, the custoinrr marches up to the counter ami says: Gimme the best you've got." The nun behind the bar is S'oriny Jordan him elf. He draws down his brows as he looks at the customer, scannint; him closely from head to foot Tnen witnout saying a word, he walks over to a water cooler and draws a glass of the spaikling flu d. He shoves it across the counter and says severely : " There, young man. that's the best drink I know of." If the customer doesn't swear or laugh he prohthly sujs. "Here, what you givin' us? I want some good whiskey." "Tnere is no good whiskey," an swers Stormy, with air of a Sunday school teacher. "Well, some bad, then," retorts the customer. "Gimme some hot stuff or I'll find a j int where I can get it." "You'll be hot enough some day if on keep on this way," answers Stormy severely. "If you are bound to have it, though, I may as well sell it to you as let someone else do it. But its poison, I tell you, that'll send your body to the grave and your soul to perdition. Still its as good poison as they make and if you re particular about the taste of it you may as well get it here." Sometimes Stormy actually converts a man to his way of thinking, though each conversion is money loss to him. No one seams to know how he got his name. Its appropriateness was recog nized when he was figuring frequently in stormy court scenes during the ten years or so that Iowa had a law pro hibiting the sale of alcoholic drinks. Stormy fought the law on principle. It seemed to him unwise and unjust. He didn't projose to submit to it. He was willing to join hands with the temperance people, but not with the Prohibitionists. Straw Bail and Straw Hen. The origin of the familiar phrases "straw bail" and "a nun of straw" is a most curious one. It dates back 2,ooo years, when the practice of en tering woithless bail was common. The exici meth ids, ho-vever, have not been transupind to posterity; l'it in several old E ''ih works is- to be found referem e t i them. In one of these Fieldii't's "Life of Jonathan Wlid,'' the thief catcher we read that Jonathan's aunt married a man "who was famous for so friendly a disp .snion that he was bail for over 100 persons in one year. He had also the remaik able honor of walking in Westminister bail with a straw in his thoe." It seems that at one time when Eng lish lawyers wishedto'procure witness es with elastic consciences, or men who would go bail for their clients, they went into Westminister hall, into which the principal courts of law open ed, and there would quickly recognize the men they wanted by glancing at their shoes, from which protruded a straw or two, thus indicating their calling. Because of this trademark, so to speak, these professional witnesses or bailgoers became known as "men of s'raw" or ones who were willing for a consideration to enter "straw bail." A Boy Should Learn. To let cigarettes alone. To bo kind to all animals. To be manly and eiuraneou. To ride, row, shoot am! swiuu To build a fence scientifically. To fill the wood box every night.

During Bayard Taylor's visit to tho zoological gardens in London ho noticed a hippopotamus which lay in its tank apparently oblivious of its surroundings. Entering into conversation with the keeper one morning, he was told that tho creaturo refused to out and was gradually starving itself to death. "I fancy it's homesick, " added the keeper. "He's a fine specimen, and it seems a pity wo should lose him, but he's moped ever since tho keeper who had charge of him on board the steamer left. He pays no attention to anything I say. " Learning that the creature caxno from a part of Africa ho had once visited, Mr. Taylor, on an impulse, leaned for ward and addressed it in the dialect used by the hunters and keepers of that region. The animal lifted its head, and tho small eyes opened. Mr. Taylor re peated his remark, when what does Mr. Hippo do but paddlo slowly over to whero ho stood. Crossing to the other sido of the tank, tho experiment was re peated with the samo result, tho poor thing showing unmistakablo signs of joy, even consenting to reccivo food from tho hand of his new friend. Mr. Taylor paid several visits to the gardens, being always noticed by his African friend. Finally, before leaving the city, ho taught tho keeper a few sentences ho had been in the habit of addressing to the hippopotamus and went his away. Two years later ho was in London, and, curious to know tho result, again paid his respects to his amphibious friend. To his surprise tho creature rec ognized his voice at once, and expressed his joy by paddling from nido to side of his tank after )iia visitor. Bayard Taylor says that it convinced him that even a hippopotamus may have affections, and tenacious ones at that, as well as a good memory. Watch man. American Valet. Thero is a new order of things among the gilded youth of today, and tho valet is iu demand. This demand has led to the establishment in Boston of a fin ishing academy for gentlemen's serv ants. Here the gentleman's gentleman learns all that is necessary for him to know. The first thing that is done to a matriculate is to cut his hair in tho ap proved English fnshion and make him clean shaven, or at least reduce his hir sute appendages to a modest "muttou chop" just forward of his cars. Hois then put in livery and made to speak only in an h-less English dialect. The various courses of instruction include training in all the branches of menial work, and when a pupil is sent out into tho world ho is given a certificate of proficiency in his particular course. One of tho features of the course is the daily practice in immobility, which consists in standing for half an hour a day be tween two upright ..bars so regulated that they touch the man's toes and breast bone in front and his coattaila, shoulder blades and hat rim at the back. This gives the requisite wooden rigidity and is practiced by all pupils. Those whoso physiques are lacking or too lux uriant are reduced to the proper form by vigorous exercise. Boston Letter. A lamp In Ills Pocket. Not very many men carry lamps in their pockets, but there is at least one man who does, and that is tho lamp lighter on the elevated road. It is an alcohol lamp, like a section of brass cylinder, five or si x inches long aud an inch through, and with u rfender tube two or three inches long, holding the wick, projecting at one end. Tho lamp lighter comes in at the front door of the car with his lamp lighted. With a rapid ease acquired by expericwe he lights the six lamps, seeming almost not to pause in his progress through the car. If he is in the last car of the train, us he pulls down the chimney over the last lamp he has lighted and turns toward the rear door he blows out his own lamp and drops it in his pocket. His hands ore now fine. He throws back the door, walks out upon tho platform. opens the gate and tt-ps off upon the station platform or down upon the other side, ready to board the next train. A touch of a match will light the alcohol lamp. New York Sun. First Written Laws. The first written statutes are com prised in the law of Moses, 1491 B. C.
