He f€c-*s more secure, is r'raver, is in every way more formidable. European officers know this. In clearing the streets of Paris only cavalry are used. We call out the infantry of the militia and have to shcot people. In Europe they ess the flat cf a sword heid by a mounted man. So unarmed body of humanity will stand the impact of hor.-es. They melt bsfore the charge like snow. It Is the uncontrollable in stinct to get cut of the way, and to do it as soon as possible. Some day we will grow wi»er on this side of the At lantic. Just now we have fifty infan i try companies of militia to one of cav ' airy. Many of our militiamen are un ' able to pay for the keep of a horse, j which is expensive, even if a man doea j the caring and bedding with his owu hands. Many others of them would ! not know what to do with a horse if j they had one. This is bad, but with j the trolley and the bicycle crowding : the steed of our fathers closer and i closer to the wall there is not much ' chance that it will be bettered. Five ! hundred years from now, unless all j signs fail, grayheaded college profess j ors, with piano-calves and eighteen inch chests, will be lecturing upon an extinct animal and reconstructing him for the benefit of students from a piece of stifle and a front tooth. I believe that the horse la the swift est animal in the world. One hears strange tales of the speed of the ante lope, the white-tailed fawn, the spring bok, the elephant, the jack rabbit and the v.olf. The fastest of these is the Aroerican antelope, and I have never ; sen one that a good pony could not Ifeit. As for the rabbit or any kind of deer, tb< horse will simply run over him. Taking into consideration the fact that the horse generally carries more than 150 pounds of rider, saddle and gun, one gets an idea of how much superior fie is. A speedy pony will outrun a greyhound. I have seen this : tried. It in • ustomary among men who I use them to give the dogs all the law | possible in order to avoid riding over them, in hunting with a brace of very good coursing hounds five years ago it was found that there were five ponies . In the party which would outfoot the dogs, and one of them, a gray of un- J doubted mustang ancestry, If given the bit would do his best to run over them and kill them. He did not like them. ; They belonged to his owner and he was Jealous. ffherfrfan nt the Mllllner'a. Gen. Sheridan as he became older conquered his shyness. At the tine of the Commune he was in Paris with his _ilde-de-camp. There was also stop ping at the same hotel a charming JVmerican woman v.ith whom he was ■lightly acquainted. The prisoners had been liberated and were rushing madly through the streets. The order bad also been given that all windows and shutters must be kept closed. Shut up In her dark room and hearing the noliiy rabble below, the woman became greatly alarmed. "There Is but one thing lor trie to do," she cried, "to Insure safety. I will put myi.elf under the care of the Amer ican General." She therefore Kent her card to Sheri dan, who at once called and offered his cci vices. He also advised that r.he should Join his party In the morning iitid get away to Ixindon. Still she ;ip peared distressed. Finally she cried: ".t Is my bonnets at. Vlrot's, They were to have been down to-day. How can 1 go and leave them?" The General grasped the situation, and offered his arm to <- < ort her to the milliner'*. Happily It was not fat 'iff. Ever afterward he delighted to tell 'if bis pleasure at seeing nuch an array of dalnt? headgear, l.e had never been at a milliner's before, H|.aitr« if if !•«•«. If Spain re,-illy wants to keep up the fight and can get funds in no other way, she might turn to hor cathedrals When she was at the zenith of bet power the cathedrals became the re ceptacles of vast wealth, and for the most part that wealth remains to-day. There are many chapels that to Un» depth of two Inches are worth their weight in gold. Not oniy are the mo saics that cover the walls of very high value, but the shrines are loaded *'ith rate ornaments, and .11 many «ase» with precious stones of gnat sis* arid worth. A chapel in the gre it Cathe dral of Hi villa has a Virgin lli-'ir.eil by a huge emerald fixed In the roof above the head, and the garments of ».he Vir gin and saints have Jewels r-wed on them.

Work of FcrtliDS an Army —Tlif Problem of Frefth Urond—How the Sol- HeaJlZt .* Gnarilaii-Tlie Company C ook. Uncle Sam'* ooidiers are probably the best fed and cared for troops in the ■woriJ. The facilities for securing pro visions. even on forced marches, are such that the commissary department has little trouble in s.. inlying the troops with a varied and palatable bill of fare. The greatest tests in the matter of food supplies during the j .'.st two de cades have been to secure and trans port provisions to the little bands of cavalry and infantry in keep ing down Indian depredations in the west. It was during these expeditions that the equipment of the commissary department has been perfected, until to-day each company carries in a small space all the necessaries of a kitchen and culinary department. This outiit j is one which never fails to interest | women visitors to encampments of ; United States troops, and to win from ! the housewife great praise for its sim- : plicity and effectiveness. Each company fc s its cook, usually a fat and jolly member of the service, ] whose headquarters are frequented during all parts of the day by convivial | members of the company. The usual habit of cooks to grow fat and good natured seems to be a rule of those who serve in the army, as well as those who are in civil life. The cook is a regularly enlisted member of the army, told off for his duties because of his fitness for the part. lie is allowed two assistants, these being appointed by the commander of the company for a week's service in the cook' 3 depart ment, and being under his charge. While they assist ia preparing and vins the food, the cook does the ma jor part of the work, and It is his t;i;;te and skill which goes to make the victuals served a f ttor in the health and contentment of the corps. The cook has one s.ijall tent in wbich are stored the extia provisions and utensils needed. A large fly, with poles and guy ropes, serves to shelter the cooking apparatus and to form the company's kitchen. Under it the stove is placed. The latter is an oblong metal affair, made on purpose for the army, and having griddle holes for the pots and pans. A ditch is scraped in the earth, and on it the stove is placed, leaving room underneath for the fire of glowing weed enii,ers. The cook is an artist at making a fire in this trench and in keeping it at an even heat. Var ious folding chairs, tables improvised of (amp chests nnd other things, serve to make the nece.;.;ary apparatus for use in the kitchen. A dozen big ket tles, boilers anfl pans are the utensils needed. Dinner, at noon, is the principal meal of the day in camp life, and for an hour before the kitchen pr< sents a busy M ene. One assistant, with ale vea roll ed up above the elbows, hits on a < h«- t peeling potatoes, a bushel or more be ing necessary for the meal. Near hiin the other assistant lends over a great quarter of beef, < arving out a supply for the meal. The cook watches his men while he attends the stove and be gins preparations for the coming re fast. A huge boiler on 01 side of the . tove holds four v '.lions of fragrant coffee, another boiler 1M flllul with wa ter to receive the potatoe.-, 'vhlle in a bright kettle on another ; it of t he stove th" cook > •>, h '.<■,!■ .Jj.'vi, rice •ind other wh ;l' ...,ti i i! i.f ..oii|» and waits for the a a :i' ' » l.;<i.;ii carving the meat that it tu.iy In added. Soon the dinner is well under way, and the cook and his assistants are busy men. In addition to the hot parts of the meal, there are to be taken from the chests and served ;;r<- it loaves of bread or hard tack. The bi—ad problem is a serious one •m n mar' h,or In r amp, and away from the cltiex, and while the cook often has to prepare the corn bread or other cereal himself. It Is brought Into camp already prepared whenever possible. A company of a hundred men or more will eat a great quantity of the staff of life In a week, and hundreds of loaves are necessary. There are other parts of (lie soldier's meal to be f.xed, If the company la near civilization and provisions are plentiful, ilal'.ed beans often appear oti the bill of fare, dried fruit, rice, hom iny anil other easily carried eatable, and to prepare all then- on the one small stove and wliii only two UHHIHI,- 111>tM Is an art that only ,m army cook understands. When the men! Is ready and the bugle;-, blow to mess, the soldiers ar range themselves In an orderly man ner, and the cook and Ills assistants start out. Klrst the r.oup Is ladcled out, then the more solid components of the meal, then the coffee nnd then the sweets, until nil are supplied. To such an extent does cleanliness enter into the preparation of the sol dins' meal that the greatest precau tions ate taken to exclude dirt. Ture fully the pots and pirns are scrubbed brightly, the big knives and utensils are polished and the refuse of the cook tents Is carried far off nnd dumped to prevent the contagion that might urine from decaying - lops 'lhe offlcent are vigilant in keeping watch on the cook and his assistants, ns the health of ihe camp may depend on their careful cleanliness. Kacli company has lis cook and mess, except where great armies are encamp ed; then a number of cook departments are thrown togethci lo work In unison IJncle Ham has all his cooking utensils made lo ordur, and chests arc used to pack everything in when on the rnaich.

Most of the army mules in Cuba were fitted with the Mexican aparejo. which is to be preferred to the saddle with "tree and sawbuck." It consists first of two or more thick felt blankets, folded large enough to j nearly cover the mule from shoulder ■ to rump. Over this is placed a huge I pair of leather bags united by a broad band of the same material, the cavi ties stuffed with soft hay. This is girthed to the mule by a cinch nearly a foot in width, which is drawn as tightly as possible by a strong man, pulling with both hands, and with a foot against the animal's ribs to give him a greater purchase. On each side of the spine the articles to be carried are placed and lashed by a rope about fifty feet in length, which has at one end a broad webbing belt to pass under the belly as was done with the others. Another "squeezing" is given and the rope is crossed in dif ferent directions over the load, tight ened at every crossing, and finally fas tened in a knot loosed by one pulL "Packing" is a science, and as such i commands good wages. I have known ! a "chief packer" to be paid a salary of $l5O per month on the frontier, and his ! services were worth the money paid. The duty is taught to cavalrymen as part of their drill, and many of the ! soldiers become very expert at it. At a pack drill of the Ninth Cavalry a few days before it left Montana one com pany packed its mule in 1 minute and 54 seconds, and others were but little slower. Thirty mule.s generally constitute a "train," and are managed by threa men. They are trained to follow a bell, worn by a horse, white preferred, as being more readily seen. They are not confined in any way except when first put into the train; then, any straying from it is punished very severely and Mr. Mule soon learns his place and that it is best to keep it. Each man with the train carries a diamond-shaped leather blind with leather cords attached to the ends and knotted together. If a pack becomes disarranged two of the men lead tho mule out of the trail, blindfold him with this blind, rearrange his load, re move the leather and allow him to re join his fellows. He is never struck when started, and pack mules are never misused by good packers. The lliril of freedom. The American Eagle voiced his sen timents on the 4th of July, 1776, In the great and only Declaration of Inde pendence, but he did not take shape for several weeks after that day. Immedi ately after tho declaration had been read to the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia at that time, a resolution was paused creating Benja min Franklin, John Adams and Thom as Jefferson, all well-known gentle men, to be a committee to prepare a seal of the United States. On the 10th day of August they reported, bringing in a combination consisting principally of .a Goddess of Liberty, a Goddess of Justice, and an Eye of Providence with a very small and insignificant eagle in one corner of the device. Incidentally also on the device was the legend, "E Plurlbus I'mim." Although the eagle at this time was not much of a bird, it still seemed to the Colonial Congress men that something was wrong with the report of the committee, and the seal had such a bad effect that the re port was laid on the table, where It stayed until 1771). in March of that year It took a fresh start with a new committee, but nothing was done until 1781, when among several designs sub mitted was one from William liarton of Philadelphia, who made the eagle prominent, and described the bird as emblematic of sovereignty. Another de .lgn was furnished by Charles Tom son, secretary of Congress, and the last, design, and the one finally adopted, was endorsed "Mr. Barton's Improve ments on the secretary's device," which made some changes In Mr. Tomson's designs, and this was adopt ed Ju»c 20, 17K2, at which time the great American Eagle made Its first anil genuine appearance In tho history of the great republic he Is under a per petual engagement to scream for.
