■ ■ - HOW SOLDIERS ARE MADE. * What a Recruit is Obliged to Undergo. Only About Bight Applicants in Every Hundred Who Pass. An erect and good-looking young fellow of stalwart pioportions and muscular appearance presented him self at the recruiting office, No. 1919 Market Street, for enlistment in the United States army. Captain H. H. Humphreys, the officer iu charge, was favorably impressed with the general appearance of the young man, who was of Scotch birth and about twenty eight years old. The applicant pass ed the physical examination creditably. No defect in his anatomical structure Was discovered to operate against hi 9 desire to become a soldier. In giving the final instructions Captain Hum phreys noticed that the young man did not seem to comprehend their im port. "I didua ken," was his expla nation. He waa rejected on account of his imperfect knowledge of the En glish language. The general supposition would be that rejections on the ground of imper fect knowledge of the English lan guage were very rare,but the books of the recruiting officer show to the con trary. An average of one in fifteen persons fails to pass on this account The records show that rejections on account of defective teeth, and myopia exceed all others. It is required that the applicant shall have no less than eight good molar teeth, in addition to a fair number of incisors, which are considered necessary to a proper mas tication of army fare. The process of enlistment is of in terest When the applicant presents himself, the recruiting officer asks him a number of questions concerning his health, habits,and occupation. If the answers are satisfactory the examina- j tion begins. Commencing with the head, which is closely examined for depressions, the examiner inspects the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. The would-be soldier then disrobes,and his body is thoroughly searched for physi cal defects. Every test is applied to learn the condition of the heart and lungs. The arms, hands, fingers,legs,, feet,and toes are all minutely scanned. Stiffness in the joints of any of these members is fatal to the chances of an applicant for enlistment. After un dergoing the examination,the aspirant to military fame is directed to jump as high as he can and alight fairly up on his feet, jf he winces, the indica tions are that he is troubled with corns on the soles of his feet, which is a cause for rejection, as an affliction of that sort would be an obstacle in marching. If the applicant success fully passes the physical requirements, he mounts the scales. His weight, in order to be eligible, must not be under 120 and not over* 180 pounds. He must not be less than five feet four in ches high. He is then taken into an adjoining room, where he indulges in a bath. After taking the oath and signing the papers, he is supplied with an out fit. This consists of a flannel shirt, canton-flannel drawers, a dark-blue blouse,grayish-blue pantaloons, a pair of suspenders, woolen socks,shoes,and a blue cap. Under the escort of two soldiers the new recruit is taken to David's Island, N. Y., where he en ters upon his five years' service to the Government. Of the persons present ing themselves for enlistment only a bout eight out of a hundred succeed in passing the physical examination. About a year ago an applicant was discovered to have winged shoulder blades. The bones projected in shape of wings nearly two inches. He was considered entirely too angelic for the military service.

For seryices extending through two months in. settling an estate worth $32,000, three Milwaukee lawyers re ceutly presented bills aggregating $25,000. When the bills were submit ted to Judge Drummond for approval, he said: Gentlemeu, you consider yourselves good lawyers. How much more are your services worth to your clients than mine to the people ? You have charged $25,000 for sixty days' ser vice. Could you not be content, each of you, to take my pro rata for the same time ? These charges are infam ous. They are such as men who are scoundrels and thieves at heart would makd. This charge of $12,000 is cut down to sl,ooo,those of $5,000 each to SSOO. Repeat such a piece of rapine in this court and I will disbar every one of you. Lewis Mrs; and Tyrone Railroad Time TaWe.
