Vrid, he soon earned for his rider, Abe
Conger, of company A, the distinction
of being frequently detailed for spe
cial service. Several extraordinary
marches of over 80 miles a day are
placed to hit credit, but the event which
most endeared him to the hearts of
the troop was his being a participant
in the capt ire of Jeff rson Davie.
During the term of his service he
acquired a wonderful veneration for
his country's fiagan ' many are the pa

JAPAN'S POSTAL SYSTEM.
Secnrod Thnmuli the Efforts of n Ills
i missed United States Qov
eminent Employe,
Thirty years ago, u young man
named Samuel M. Bryan, a clerk in the
post office department at Washington,
received notice that his services were I
no longer needed. Incompetency was 1
the reason given for his dismissal, 1
says Success. When he looked over
his stock in trade, he found that it
Consisted of something less than $100
(n cash and a great idea. A week
later he was on his way to San Fran
cisco, one good-natured postal clerk
after another allowing him to ride in
his car. On reaching San Francisco
he secured a place as purser on a j
steamship bound for Japan, and, in
due time, found himself in Toklo,
Once in Japan's chief city he proceed
ed without delay to put his great idea
Into execution. What he proposed '
was to perfect nnd put in operation,
U Japan, a postal system modeled aft
er that of the I'nited States. Hryan
found willing listeners among the
high Japanese officials, and in due
time was requested to prepare a pros
pectus of his system to be submitted
"to the mikado. Its value was at once
recognized and its adoption ordered.
Bryan was placed at the head of the
mem department, with a salary of
$11,000 a yerr-. nnd entrusted with the
negotiation of a postal treaty between
Japan and the United States. A few
months later he was back in Washing
ton as the envoy of the Japanese gov
ernment, treating on equal terms
with the man who had dismissed him
for; incompetency. The treaty, which ;
lie negotiated with skill and diplom-
ncy, proved satisfactory to all con-
emed. Bryan remained some IS
years in the service .if th" Japanese
rovernrnt. He tlx ti returned to the
L'rflted State-s, a rich man. It is in
teresting to conjecture what his
career m'jflit have been had he not
lost h's place In the post filet- de
partmert.

ARTISTS AND THEIR WORK.
Italy's art treasures apart from
buildings are valued at JCsDOO,000.
George Hitchcock, the artiat, though
now living handsomely on the pro
ceeds of his art in Holland, once made
a living by running a small bric-a-brac
shop in Chicago.
l'rincess Louise has just completed
the statue of Queeu Victoria which
she undertook some time ago to exe
cute for the Manchester cathedral.
The result is said to be most satisfac
tory. Gustar Kfirn. a New York brush
maker, has made B life-size portrait
of George Washington In bristles of
various colors, taking Stuart's cele
brated painting for a model. The
bristle picture is said to be quite a
work of art. It is on exhibition in the
window of a Pearl street store.
Miss Ellen Terry the other day ob
jected to the number of her photo
graphs in various characters seat- I
tered throughout the house of a
friend. "Why, it's embarrassing," she
said. "Here I am weeping in your
bedroom, mad in your dining-room
and dying three different ways in
your drawing-room."
M. Dauniet, of the French institute,
nnil a number of other French archi-
ttects have petitioned the Senate
against any interference with re- i
t Ugioui orders, on the ground that
many of their buildings are the glory
of France, and that they are likely to '
continue furnishing employment to
, the building trade.
ECHOES FROM THE BIG TOWNS
In London 37,000 girls attend cook-
ing-classes.
Fewer people proportionately keep
their own carriages in Paris than in
London.
The board of health of t lie city of
Galveston is arranging for a large sup
ply of oil from the Iteaumont wells to
be used in fighting mosquitoes.
Twenty-nine per cent, of England's
population live in cities of over 100,000
In the United States the proportion is
10 per cent.; in Germany, 17; in France,
12; Austria, 8, and Russia, 5.
In all big cities there are multitudes
of folk w ho work in the night t inie. In
London fully 100,000 inhabitants earn
their bread by the sweat of their
brows between sunset and sunrise.
A dime-museum "fire eater" in New
York tried to vary his programme by
inhaling gas, lighting his breath, and
furnishing heat to cixk griddle-cakes.
He collapsed from the effects of the
gas.
A runaway horse in Denver the
other day finished his flight by land
ing in the interior of a rapidly moving
trolley car, where he rode for nearly
a block before the vehicle could be
stopped.
DICTATES OF DAME FASHION.
A very quaint fashion is the revival
of the paletot, it being most popular
in black taffeta. It makes a pretty,
light nnd inexpensive summer wrap,
much beruched and trimmed.
There is such a lot in color, nnd few
women know how to make the most of
it. lilnck is either very becoming or
quite the reverse, though on the
whole it is smart, especially for even
ing wear.
Women have recently been wearing
China silk skirts with their light cling
ing' gowns, and some of these go iu
with the lingerie. Nainsook, however,
is the material of all others for the
finest of petticoats.
Some of the newest French sleeve
models show the most npproved forms
of the elbow styles arranged in every
sort of quaint nnd fnnciful form, and
nlso the pretty cont shapes with a pic
turesque finish at the top and about
the wrists, the wrinkled mous
quetairc forms, and the graceful bell
styles with dainty underslecves ol
gathered mull, batiste, net or chiffon.
SIMPLIFIES THE CODE.
Oen. Grrelr, Chief Signal Officer af
Army, Invents New Telegraph
Cable System.
Gen. A. W. Greely, chief signal of
ficer of the army, who is now in
Manila, is one of tin most industrious
of army officers. Besides being head
of the signal corps nnd in charge
of the war department library, he
has, found time to devise a telegraph
cable code which he hopes to have
adopted by business houses who have
business use for the wire.
He hns invented this code, which Is
understood to be much simpler than
the one at present in use, in his
leisure hours, nnd hns taken out n
patent in his own name, and he hopes
to derive an independent income from
the invention.
A short time age Gen. firefly's de
partment completed work on a com
pilation of nenrly 1,000 pages, which
has now been published by the gov
ernment printing office. It is an in
dex to early congressional papers,
and the need of such a work was sug
gested, (Jen. (ireely says, by the dif
ficulty rnenunteri'd in obtaining in
formatlou on various points of Amer
ican history in the early days of the
republic.

for the reason that their inability to
do so springs from a natural physical
restriction. So girls who aspire to
success in all lines of athletics may
ss well give up trying to learn to
throw a ball, if the statement recently
made by a Philadelphia physician is
true. He declares that "it is a phys
ical impossibility for a girl to throw
strongly and accurately, as a boy
throws. A girl throws with a rigid
arm, and it is out of the question for
her to acquire a free movement, such
as is possible with a boy, because her
collarbone is larger and sets low er than
a boy's. In other sports, where this
action is not brought into piny, they
may excel, but they may as well give
up all hope of ever learning to throw."
The fondness for spring chickens is
not confined to Methodist preachers
out iu the Country, says a Henderson
(Ky.) exchange. Iu or about Coles
burg there is a horse that is equal to
a whole Methodist conference in his
ravages upon a poultry yard. The
horse belongs to Mr. J. It. Stoval and
it is no unusual thing for him to eat
a half dozen spring chickens at a meal.
Last Sunday for dinner he consumed
It. He runs after them and as he
catches them devours them, feathers
and all. The appetite on the part of
the equine has only recently developed,
but it has been sufficiently voracious
to put Mr. titoval out of the poultry
business in short order.

NOTKS AND COMMENTS.
The lesson will properly include
the entire first chapter of Kxodus.
The Growth of Israel (vs. 1-7).
These first verses of Exodus are a
summary of the conditions under i
which Israel grew from a family to
a people. Goshen was not very fer
tile, but fit for the pasturage of large
flocks. Here the conditions for rapid
growth were favorable, because of the 1
abundance of room, of ai ami f food.
The number. 70 is not exactly accurate
at the time of Jacob's removal to
Egypt, but it is sufficiently so for,
counting the number of the first gen
eration. The number that left Egypt
afler the first passover was about G00,-
i 000 (1:37). The time during which the
nation grew to this size is differently
calculated. A period of 430 years is
mentioned in several passages (12:40;
Gtl, 3:17; compare Gen. 15:13). Hut
in one case it seems to be reckoned
from the covenant with Abraham, and
in the other from the entrance of
I Jacob into Egypt. The Greek version
of the Old Testament Inserts in Ex.
12:40, the words "in the land of
j Canaan" after the word "Egypt," so
that the period covered includes also
the time when Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob Hved in Canaan, and the actual
residence of Israel in Egypt was about
2I." years, or about seven generations.
To increase in that period from 70
to 600,000 would require that in each
family an average of about 9even chil
dren should grow up nnd marry. Such
growth would indeed be phenomenal;
and if students of Egyptian history
are rlfjht, the longer period must be
taken as correct.
The Oppression (vs. P.-14). The
"new king" of verse 8 was not merely
another ruler, but was a member of
a new dynasty. He is generally be
lieved to have been Bsmeses II,. who
was one of the greatest builders that
ever ruled Egypt, and a very success
ful administrator. It was an indica
tion of his care in administration thst
he gave his sttentlon to the rapid in
crease of the Hebrews. The social
contempt in which shepherds were
held prevented the Hebrews from inla
ing with the Egyptians. Of course, in
that situation friction and jealousy
would be common. The result which
the king expected was therefore qn-ite
possible. The policy of the Hebrews,
if they could form en alliance against
Egypt, would probably be to weaken
Egypt's power snd then select a neigh
boring territory for the founding of
a new government. Egypt would not
be to well off if they went away, as
Pharaoh knew. The slavery to which
the Hebrews were reduced was not
of individual to individual, but of peo
ple to king. The use of forced labor
was common in Egypt; even native
Egyptians were subjected to it, snd
by its means greet wrks like the
pyrsmlds were built. The ssme meth
od was used by Solomon in building
the temple. Hsrd work seldom en
dangers the increase of s nation. If
rtisraoh hsd known how best to pre
vent Israel's growth, he would have per
suaded the young snd vigorous people
to live in pampered idleness. Israel's
treatment was hard to bearnot so
much because the work taxed their
strength as becauie they were under
inconsiderate and harsh taskmasters.
The "rigour" of verses 13 and 14 is
rough and abusive treatment.
Cruel Measures (vs. 152?). The en
deavor to stop increase by the murder
of infants was hardly more successful
than thnt.to stop it by oppressive bur
dens. Pharaoh found few of his peo-
pie ready to carry out this order,
though no doubt it had some effect,
ind it aertninly made a male child's
life uncertain.
