arerm'.rawl in these quasi military
ItU claimed that the boys arc not
drilled with a view of g'.vwg them a
martial spirit, but simply because it
has been found by experience that
nothing will Interest them in church
work so much as to give that work a
military aspect. A well-known church
man, who is frreaUy interested in tbe
movement, fcaid recently:
"The f-pirit of Americanism inde
pendence or individual liberty which
e rnes to every native citizen by in
heritance and is inhaled with every
breath, so that even foreigners are
,xn infected with it, has borne un
welcome fruitaa-e in the restlessness
under restraint, tbe defiance of dis
cipline and the general irreverence
which children of the present age
usuallv manifest. This is particularly
with boys. The result naturally is
that whether at home or at H-hool, at
ehurchor at college, the question of
control is a perplexing one.
"A careful Mudent of child nature
discovered one form of discipline which
is the most thorough conceivable and
w hich i.s actually congenial to the 1kv
nature. This was military organisa
tion, for which boys have a natural
sij.titu lv. Instead of scolding, or say
ing with an injured air, "Now boys.

rigid statues. The youngster can 1

marking time, or performing other
evolutions until the powers of nerve
and rouw'.e which incite Jhe boy to
lawless!., ss have been brought under
control and made ti minister to his
lst g-vnl. When equipped with mili-Xm-y
uniform, cap. and l-lt. the trans
formation is corni.lete and the private
is ready to 1 taught oW-ik-ncc, rever
ence, and manliness without being con
: eioiis of it, and almost in the form of
tin amusement.
"The tirst experiment in this direc
tion in connection with Sunday school
v.ork was made in tiiasgow, Scotland,
i y W. A. Smith, of the Lanark rifles,
in ( ctobvr, lb3. Asa result, the work
i.f one winter transformed the school.
IKscipIiue was perfect, manners were
aojuirt-d, the physical bearing was im
proved, the moral character was
Mieni-thened and the foundations of
r.-li-rious principles were laid, and all
this was accomplished by boys of an
are in which the natural drift is away
from, ra'hpr than toward, religions in
Ctienecs. This success caused the
movement to spread, and ten years later
there were S'.'i companies, with 2,0-Jj
ot'.icers and C'J.0 .3 ruemlx-rs reported.
In :r-0 the Crst company in the United
States was organized in San l"raneico
l.v Ker. John Quincy Adams, and fifty
more were soon formed in the imme
diate vicinity. A national organiza
tion was then formed, and companies
-ganized ia Kansas City, Chicago. in
rinnati, IHrtroit and othcrcilies. Since
t h.-n the growth has been very rapid.
As a result, the boys have been elevated
lti.1 educated, and Sunday schools and
rriditig rooms hitherto empty have
iM-en ti'.ied.
' In July, l??;, there were 95 compa

which w ere Presbyterian, S3 per cent.

BIGGEST FISH IN THE 6EA.
Tbe Raskin Shark Sometime Growa te a
Lesrth of Tbinyi'iv "-
There was gre commotion In the
zoological department of the Stanford
university, San Francisco, tho other
afternoon, when President Jordan re
ceived s telegram from an Italian fish
erman at Monterey saying that he had
caught a monster of a basking shark,
and inquiring if they wanted it Did
they want it? Well, President Jordan
rushed from his offie tCTOM the qnd
rangle to the zoological laboratory,
where Prof. Gilbert and some other
fish sharps were busy with pickled Csh,
and with dignified excitemeut flour
ished the telegram. He jerked out Lis
watch and said there were thirty min
utes before the Monterey train would
get to Palo Alto, over a mile away, and
lYof. Gilbert grabbed his hat lie
called an expert assistant w ho could
hustle, and the two scientists made
that train. The fisherman soon got
his answer. President Jordan would
have missed two dinners to go along,
but he couldn't All this haste and in
terest says the San Francisco Exam
iner, show how much ralue a basking
shark is to a scientist lie is not of
much value to anybody else. Ilis value
arises, like that of many other things,
mainly from his rarity, for basking
sharks are not seen every day, and
ichthyologists find few opportunities
to study them. The basking shark is
an object of popular as well as scien
tific interest It is the largest fih
that swims the sea. It isn't as big as
a low-lH"ad whale, but the whale is
not a fi.-h, bnt a mammal. The speci
men captured somehow by the Italian
fisherman, who has a standing order
from the Stanford university for any
thing new or q:cer ia his line, is
thirty-five feet long and measures
nearly fifteen feet perpendicularlt
through the back. These proportions
ma'.;e it as large as many a whale, and
it is a homely and lubberly thing to
look nt It is called selache maxima
in the books.
Th" size of the specimen at Monte
rev shows it to be one cf the largest of
its kind, though they sometimes gro-.v
several feet longer. A reported sea
serjx-nt, fifty feet long, stranded at
Stronsa in 1-Os, js snpjsed to have
been a basking shark. This greatest
of fishes is also the least ferocious of
sharks. It sticks pretty well to the
Ijottom of the ocean, is sluggish in
movement, and feeds on C rustacea, sea
weed, etc., instead of other fishes. It
belongs to the northern sca. but in
summer descends to middle latitude?.
-I do not know what Prof. Gilbert
will try t j do w ith the specimen." said
President Jordan, "but it is worth go
ing after even to photograph if n tii
ingelse. They are rarely caught and
I hare been able to see but one on this
coast. That was in 10 at Monterey.
We chopped out a piece of one of its
gills and it was ail one man wanted to
carry. Pictures of the basking shark
are not reliable representations, for
there have been few chances to draw
th-m. Th"re are probably but a few
hundred in tho ocean. The British
museum has a standing offer of one
thousand dollars for the thin of one,
but a man would earn his money get
ting it, for it would take two months
to si. in the fish and car.? properly far
the hide. Prof. Gilbert may try to
luxe tho skin and he may only take the
liiTeh At fin- rote it is a valuable op
portunity for stndy."
EOYCOTTING A JAIL.
Tramp Ii.ilst on Better Fooil or they'll
Ituin the sheriff- tlmine-a.
An unusual sfrilce occurred here
lately, says a Mount Holly corre
spondent of the New York Herald. It
was rot among the members of any

oa-e bnt was confined to tho tramps
w ho are locked up in the county j.d.
End who lo!d!y threatened to boycott
the institution unless the sheriiT sup
plied them with better f.Kd.
'1 he spokesman, a thick-set tramp,
known among bis coropai.ions as "The
Tauh," out of compliment to his ab
dominal development was plain end
outspoken in bis demands to one of
the keepers.
"See here," he said, "what's on the
card for dinner to-day?"
"l!ean soup and bread," was the re
ply. "It won't do," was the reply. "This
lcaa business is gettin' played out
What we want is more meat and
wegetahles, and we're going to have
'cm or know the reason why. We
can't keep up our strength on no such
grub as we've been havin' see!"
"Yon fellows are gettin too gay,"
s.-i'd 1 lie keeper w ith a sneer. "Next
thing you'll be wantin' ox-tail soup
and sweetbreads. We're givin you
good grub good enough for anybody
and you'll either eat it or live on
your shape."
"Hold on there!" interrupted another
tramp with a red nose and a bad list to
p rt, "we've got something to say
'iMiuttliat We've got the lay of the
land pretty well in this connty.and we
know the sheriiTs cilice wouldn't be
wnth a half interest in a yailer dog if
it w asn't for the profit out of feeding
us tramps. Everybody knows that
Now I'll conie down to business. Cf
yon don't feed ns up high w e'll boycott
the jail, and every man on the road'll
Chtasbhyt.f the place as if it was
full of smallpox. Now I've had my
say, and cf the goose don't hang high
Mter this you'll hear from us."
This threat took all the fierceness
cut of the keeper, who promised to
tee what, he could do in the line of s
more attractive menu.

Senatorial exclusivenes is grcrc
thicker.
Many complaints have burdened the
columns of far-ofj, papers during the
year of the increasing tendency of the
members of the American house of
lords to croct barriers between them
selves and the great public Time
was, says the Washington News, when
a citizen could find access to the car
of a senator with his complaints and
hobbies and suggestion, about as easi
ly as he could reach a representative,
and that is no nioro dtlhcult than to
get audience with any very busy busi
ness man.
When the senate was in actual ses
sion the doorkeeper would carry In a
card the drop - a-pasteboard - in - the-slot-and-bring-out-a-legislator
process
which still works over at the house
unless the member happens to know
that you have a little private bill, or
want to get a relative into office, or
perchance Mr. Reed is on his feet, or a
new story is being told in the environs
of Mr. Kilgore's seat.
One innovation which marked the
beginning of this session is being re
marked upon at the capit.d. Formerly
the box-like historic chamber which so
linprfsses the casual visitor by its
tawdry, theatrical gilding, was thrown
open for whoever cared to enter at
all times when the senate was not in
action.
Tho privileges of the public have
been slightly curtailed this session by
a new custom, the closing of the doors
to visitors at nine o'clock in tbe morn
ing and keeping them closed until the
senate has adjourned in the afternoon.
Few people in Washington have fin
ished breakfast at nine o'clock, none
of them go to the capitol before that
hour, so that inspection of the sen
ate chamber by visitors will hereafter
be limited to the view from the galler
ies, which are always open, except
when the senate is in executive session.
No more tourists from the far states
can take homo with them the story of
how they sat in the vice president's
chair and curled their limbs under the
desk w here Koscoe Conkling and other
great men have sat.
The grumblers say that this new cus
tom is right along the line with other
rules established by the last one or
two congresses the instructions to
the doorkeepers not to take in cards
during tho morning hour consecrated
to general business being one.
This privilege to visiting constitu
ents and the general public of thrust
ing in a card and then leaving in a huff
if your senator did not choose to come
out smiling with any stretch of his
time at your disposal to listen to the
merits of your pension bill, or hear
ho-.v yea had always wanted to say
that you had shaken bands with him
has been greatly curtailed of late.
During the last session one senator
accused another of having ordered the
doorkeepers not to bring in cards while
he was speaking, a step which is fre
quently taken by the veterans, and
which tho younger senators are con
strained by senatorial courtesy to ac
quiesce in.
But there is a senator's side to the
latest established custom of closing the
doors during the morning hours before
the sessions have begun. Several sen
ators find it convenient almost every
day to attend to their correspondence
at their desks. One who is almo&t al
ways to be found in his scat writing in
the morning since a change of admin
istration turned over his committee
room to a democrat is the venerable
Senator Morrill, of Vermont. The dis
tance of the Malt by, where the repub
lican senators have their private rooms,
leads several to the custom of making
ofilces of their desks.
Under the old rule of open doors the
whole ponnlace was at liberty to touch
elbows with any senator who happened
to be at his desk earlier than 11:53.
There were no restrictions of race or
personal cleanliness. Beer-soaked
tramps and loving couples on their
wedding trips strayed in to stare and
comment. They stood around to make
remarks on the few senators visible,
made audible remarks about their
books and pointed w ith umbrellas and
canes as the visitors to art galleries
are warned not to do.
These things were the penalties of
prominence, but tliey were not alto
gether pleasing to senators, und they
were growing worse as the numbers of
visitors to Washington increased. Con
sequent'; tbe edict has gone forth this
session that the open-mouthed popu
lace shall be limited to the galleries iu
its senate sightseeing. Many will g-
away to declare that the senate ia
elevating itself above the people and
that democratic simplicity is a thing
of the past.
But senators say in self-defense: "In
the name of democratic simplicity are
we to be on exhibition like the aniuitils
of a menagerie?"

The l';l!nt Mm lu V. ;sonrl Gctt Oat of
TrcuiMe la an Caxpertcl Staonrr.
On the southern edge of Phelp
lounty lives Scott Swartzlander. who
s considered the ugliest man in Mis
souri, and there are some of his ceigh
ors who will lxit his equal cannot be
)roduccd from any quarter. Swartz
ander, who is thirty years old, says
Jie St. Louis Cm lobe- Democrat, has
vhite hr.ir, eyes like a Chinaman, no
tyebrows. a nose of abnormal proper
ions, which lops over almost to his
theek bone, and is ornamented at the
md with a beautiful comic bo lb. lie
s lank and tall, and there ere mvmer-
ms other imperfections that add to
Jiis picture of general and particular
jgliness. Swartzlander was arrested
tbont a year ago for cutting timber on
rovernmcnt lands in I'ulaski county.
,nd when his trial came nn at Spring
leld before the United States court
be prisoner was promptly arr.iigned
Ahile the district attorney was read
g the judge said, addressing the dis
rict attorney: "You may enter nolle
roseqni in the prisoner's case. After
1 careful scrutiny of his physiognomy I
im convinced that any man who is
jompclled to carry that face is pun
ched quite enough for the amount of
umber which he is charged w ith har
ng unlawfully taken from government
.ands. Yon arc discharged, Mr. Swartz
ander. Go as quickly as yon can, and
ion't forget to take your face with
fou."
Undoubtedly this decision of the
learned and discriminating judge at
SpringCeld, Mo., entitles Scott Swartz
lander to the undisputed title: "The
Ugliest Man in Missouri

THE FALL CLEANING.
How to Oaiblna TboraahBM with tha
Minima ta sf I'rlrlloa.
The fall cleaning, wherever one lives,
north or south, should ba based as to
thoroughness upon the previous clean
ing of the spring. Every house needs
a thorough administration of brooms,
scrubbing-brushes, and whisks at least
once a year, this of course taking for
granted a regular weekly sweeping
and dusting, and much polishing of
window-panes, and general keeping up
of uflairs, as a good housekeeper must
if she would satisfy her conscience.
If in the spring carpets were taken
from the floor and thoroughly beaten
to free them from dust and the eggs of
moths, this need not be done again In
the autumn, neary carpets do not re
quire removal from the floors oftener
than once In two years. Halls and
stairs, being thoroughfares for tha
family and guests, should often be
thoroughly cleaned, for sanitary rea
sons especially, and the removal and
destruction of disease germs. Curtains,
rugs, portieres of every description,
woolen fabrics being especially indi
cated here, should bo takeu down
every month and left out of doors for
some hours. The trouble which this
means is not slight, but it is amply re
paid in the freshness and sweetness
bronght Into the house with the thor
oughly aired draperies.
In the fall, before lighting fires for
the season, it is well to have the fur
nace and flues inspected by a man
from a stove store or foundry.
The cellar must be regarded with
suspicion, and no nook or corner
of it left unvisited. If it be
the custom of the house to use any part
of the cellar as a store room, great vigi
lance Is Imperative, lest some decaying
fruit or vegetables shall prove the
cause of illness in the family. Let the
fall cleaning include the attic, the cel
lar, every closet, every tuck-away
place, and start in for winter with no
foes concealed in bins or on shelves.
A part of the work belonging to the
fall cleaning sh -old be the examination
of mattresses which have been in use
during the summer. These require
making over from time to time, the hair
picked and pulled out, the ticking re
nened, the tufting done again so that
the old mattress is as good as new, and
really more comfortable than it was
when new, if that is possible.
Now let the careful house-mother
look to the various small repairs that
are always waiting to be dona. Here a
hinge isloose; there a door needs easing.
Are the pictures nails 6rra and strong?
Is the picture 1.1 vd:rsg right Does
the third story baci u.-sd new paper,
and would the parlors be improved by
touches in the way of paint or varnish'.
If anything is hopelessly shabby few
things ever are the fall is the time to
discard it in favor of something bettor.
Please, if you are a dweller in the
city, refrain from beating your carpets
in the back yanL Iu most towns, a city
ordinance forbids the doing of this, and
in ruost towns, unhappily, people goon
doing it in utter disregard to the law.
The clouds of dust float over neighbor
ing yards; the incessant flail-like noise
drives nervous invalids to he verge
jf distraction, and impedes the improve
ment of convalescents. The domestic
method of carpet cleaning in this man
ner is less thorough than that of the
man whose business it is, and it co,ts
nearly as much. In the exasperation
af its effects on the minds of those wh
suffer from it, whoean estimate its cost?
Probably nobody nowadays insists
on nnsetting tha whole house at onee
for the sike of either the spring or the
fail cleaning. This is seldom necessary.
A woman with the talent for manage
ment can administer upon a who! j
house, with the nv.nimun of friction to
her whole family; that the men of the
house should be aware of what is be
ing done is quite needless, if a sin?ie
room be taken at a time, and p "p.-r
precautions used against discomfort
A women of genuine tact can. how
ever, give a certain picnic effect to
family living under difSoulties, robbing
it of the idea of mere discomfort by a
lit lie flavor of fun, an 1 by refusing ti
yield to irritability, thongh carpets art!

Camlrt Mountain nf Soattx anil Centrai
Am.rifl Tuitt Ij I ridijr Work.,
The volcano of Abina. in Peru, which
for a century and a half had been con
sidered extinct, suddenly awoke from
its lon sleep the other day and began
pouring forth lava, smoke and ashes in
such quantities as to obscure the sun
up to the date of the last report, says a
Panama correspondent of the Phila
delphia Press.
Together with this news comes nn
account of remarkably severe earth
quakes in Ecuador that shook the
whole Pacific slone and extended far
into the interior. A series of rapid,
violent shocks continued one minute
and some seconds. It created the
greatest terror in Guayaquil, where at
every convulsion it appeared as though
the pile-built structures must go over.
However, no damage to speak of oc
curred there, but sovorrsl accounts of
disasters had arrived from the in
terior. At Canar seven families and
their homes are known to have been
swallowed np by the eartlu One cu
rious incident at Guayaquil was tho
bursting open of the doors of the peni
tentiary. Many convicts escaped be
fore the demoralized guards could pull
themselves together to prevent it
Then the guards fired indiscriminately
on the prisoners, those fleeing from
crumbling walls as well as those es
caping. The city waterworks were so
damaged that a water famine was im
minent. This scries of shocks was felt
over an area of eighty thousand square
miles. At almost the same time Coto
paxi and Turgurahua burst forth in
such a terrible activity as has not
characterized thotn during the last
two centuries. The South American
vobanoes frequently ravage their im
mediate neighborhood, but it is be
lieved here is another instance that
they are safety valves that render the
continent habitable.
Beports of unusual volcanic activity
aM along the line of the continental
backbone havo been coming in since
the beginning of the year, and those
more recently to hand indicate a
steadily increasing disturbance. Alarm
ing accounts arrived last week
from Mexico of the condition of
C'olima, which, pouring forth vast
volumes of lava and a regular bom
bardment of rocks and ashes bad sent
t.'ie people of Jalisco fleeing in terror
from their houses. Only a few months
ago dispatches from Chili and Peru
told of tierce outbursts among tho
volcanoes of the southern Andes, and,
later yet, of the seismic disturbance in
tbe volcanic region of Cauca. in
Colombia, by which an entire mountain
ridge was swallowed up and a deep de
pression left, while elsewhere in that
same region two rivers were buried by
the side of a mountain tumbling iuto
the vail e. v.

Archa-.iiorists and antiquarians in
their writings frequently refer to
the manufacture of flint arrow-head
;tc, as a -!o:,t art;" that Is a great
nl take- The art is probably lost to
the Ind ians bceau-o they have no u.se
for it. Tho Ltonc implements have
given place to those of iron and steel,
nd the rifle and revolver have sup
planted the flint ax and arrow-head.
The art of making them is not lost,
however. There are many collectors
f relies of the aborigines who Lave
studied the art of working in flint and
have become adepts. In Chattanooga
gentleman has become so proficient
:n the art that he has not only manu
factured magnificent specimens of arrow-heads
from flint, but aho from the
far more brittle obsidian, und even
from ordinary glass.
