in ranking up these
regiments. From ail the various re
cruiting stations established in the
United States eomes the reassuring
report that the only difficulty is that
of selection.
Among the applicants there is of
WOULD BR RECRUITS QUIZZIXO THE COH
FORAIi. course a oertain contingent from that
large, floating mass of waifs and strays
who have not yet reached the stage of
trampdom, but who live as best they
ean, with no settled home or calling.
So it requires nice judgment to pick
out the right ones from the mass.
Then, there are tramps open and
elf-eonfeased, or if not actually con
fessed by word of mouth, self-evident.
. When the evidence takes the form
of an over fragrance of breath or au
over rosiness of nose they are promptly
dismissed. Stalwart and vigorous as
many of them are in appearance,
alcoholism is sternly barred by the
army regulations. Permanent and
professional traraphood would in it
self be an insuperable obstaole, but
tramphood that is only a recent no-
cident in an otherwise orderly life
may be overlooked if the applicant
has excellent qualifications iu other
resneots.
Then there is the larcre armv of the
unemployed who have no vagrant
liabits save those entailed in the
dreary pursuit of work. These are
what the French call consents de
faim oonscripts of hunger. Though
they are nominally volunteers, they

sweat of their brows, and if they have
the mental, moral and physical quali
fications for lighting Uncle Hani will
not deny them the bread which they
aro more willing to purchase with
their blood.
Hut not even these form the best
material which Uncle Sam linn thrust
npou him for selection. Hotter far
are the brawny, brainy and eager
youth, from town and country, who,
tired with the true soldierly spirit,
unforced by emptiness of stomach,
come with hearts and heads full of
patriotism and generous ambition and
high ideas to offer their services to
their common uncle.
The hardy backwoodsmon of Now
England, the daredevil cowboys of
the Western plains, the stalwart farm
bauds iu the great agricultural dis-
r.Ecftcira waiting to be
tricts all over the United States
these with little training develop
into the finest soldiers in all the
world.
There are three recruiting stations
in New York. I have stood in all
three of these places and watched the
crowd of applicants streaming in, a
panoramic study of human nature in
its highest and its lowest forms, of
alort and splendid youth, of depressed,
disappointed and degraded maturity.
In all of these stations the method if
the same.
A aergcant sits at the desk in the
room into which the applicant is
ushered. lie is patient, but shrewd;
kindly, but firm willed. He does not
balk at any uncouthness in manner
or speech.
He is not offended, aven by the
freshness of the lad who bluntly de
clares, "Say, captain, I wanttoeuhst,"
or even the unconscious rudeness of
the tough who inquires, "Be yon the
bloke who wants soldiers?"
Be reeogniaes that they are not yet
soldiers, bnt if they have soldierly
timber in them they may ytt be pol
llshed to ths point of proper aoldlerly
deportment. On thiof ut U oa tht

alert for at the start. This is nntrnth
fulness. Lies about the age are most
usual. The age limit is from eighteen
to thirty-five. But boys under eight
een must have permission from parent
or guardian, duly sworn to and at
tested by notary pubjio. If a boy oi
obviously not morn tliau eighteen or
nineteen declares that he is over twen-ty-ono
the chances are that lie is on
the lookout for a long truancy from
home.
Hut if the sergeant was satisfied
that the applicant was neither too
young nor too old for service he must
be examined as to other points of
qualification. The requirements exact
that if he lie a candidate for the regu
lar army he must bo a native boru or
naturalize! citizen, able to speak
Knglish and to read and write; if for
the volunteers it is not necessary that
ha nlioulil be naturalized or know how
to read and write, but he must speak
Km;lih.
These points are easily passed upon,
tt is most difficult to determine
whe ther his habits are orderly, his
character good, if he is out of work,
whether it is his own fault that ho is
so, and whether he is unmarried. No
married man in ncceptod. The shrewd
ness of the officer must supplement
the nnswers he receives, and must
further be called into piny to deter-
mine at a cursory glnnoe whether his
physical characteristics are sufficient
ly near the mark to make it worth
while submitting him to the necestary
examination by the army surgeon.
If he succeed in passing the ser
geant, this examination is the next step
before his final acceptance. Every
morning beginuing at half-past eight
the applicants who have passed the
preliminary examination are mustered
,
bent to their ro3T.
before the surgeon. Tests are made
of the heart, the lungs, the eyes, the
teeth, the hearing. The body is
stripped and the individual is made to
go through calisthenio exercises.
It is a curious faot that more noonle
fail through defects of tire teeth and of
the eyes than any others. Uncle Sam
requires a good digestion and good
eyesight. The applicant must have at
least two sound pair of molars, each
directly above the other, so that they
oau properly perform the function of
masticating the food.
I be eyes must be at least three-
quarters of the normal. Printed test
cards are placed at a distance of twenty
feet, and the man is made to read let
ters of varying sizes. Many learn here
for the first time, to their dismay that
their eyesight is defective.
It is really pitiful to hear the ex
cuses, perfectly honest to themselves,
wuicn tney roauo for wiiat they deem
to be a mere temporary lapse. They
had been anxious; they had been ner
vous; they bad not happened to sleep
wen me nignt before.
"Give me another trial," pleaded a
man, who bore every other appearance
of robust health. "I'll bo all right to
morrow." But the flat had gone ont. It could
not be recalled. He went ont angrily,
rubbing his eyelids, as though they
were rebellious children who hadwil
fully brought their pareut to shame.
To all the men, indeed, who fail in
the final test, just when aoceptauoe
seems in sight, rejection is a crushing
blow. They who survive are propor
tionately jubilant. To each of these

Evor-blooiuiiig roses may be rnisod
from soeil, nud will fl.wur tlio first
season. The prettiest wuy to arrange
over-blooming roses is to plant them
in n circular boil on tho lawn or in the
garden. One could hardly have a bed
of any otho:1 (lowers which would give
half the delight and satisfaction
through the summer and full. The
bod should bo mado mellow and rich.
Iu tho North tho plants would have
to be housed for the winter. Keep a
good lookout for weeds.
Some people iniiko the mistake of
looking for all the excellent qunlities
in one rose. Lovers of roses who enn
afl'oi d to buy them will be able to have
all the common kinds by exchanging
with iheir friends. The blush rose,
tho moss rose, the June pink rose, the
cnbbn!o, the damask, the Persian yol
low, tho white and the sweet briar
rose make a collection not to be de
spised. These are all hurdy. I, ate
in the full give them a good mulch of
lunnure, and iu the spring add soot to
more mnuiireund spade it in. All tho
doad wood should bo tut out and tho
tops of tho plants pruned slightly.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
roses. The rose chafer, little green
worms and aphis, may be speedily
disposed of by using an emulsion of
kerosene nud sour milk. Apply it
thoroughly to the bushes on the under
ns well as the upper side of the leaves.
To make the emulsion, take one part
of kerosene to two parti of tdightly
sour milk, nud mix them together
until they from n jelly-like snbstnnro.
Add to oue part of this jelly twelve
parts of wuter, and apply with a
sprayor or sprinkler.
As for the tiny spiders that infest
roses, drown them. Water is tho one
remedy for them. Hose slugs can be
destroyod with powerful hellebore,
sprinklod on when the bushes are wet
with dew.

The mift nil linpoi tnnt mixture that
every tree-owner should have on bund
is kerosene emulsion, iliis is made
by dissolving half a pound of hutd
sonp in hot water; then add two gab
Ions of kerosene, nnd chum with s
pump for ten minutes; then add nbunt
throe gallons of hot wnter, and you
will hnve the emulsion in irood condi
tion for slorngn. When you wish to
apply this mixture, dilute it with live
or ten pints for trees, nnd for rose
bushes tlio solution nlioulil be very
much weaker; otherwise you will
damage tho foliage of your hushes
nud the Honors as well. It is far bet
tor to experiment with a wnnker solu
tion; nud if insects and slugs are not
destroyed, apply tho second day a
stronger solution, i'nr i.cule insects
you may make the solution very much
stronger, nud tub it stoutly into yout
trees. Hi ur in mind always that pure
kerosene is ns ditadly to vegetation as
to animal lifo, and must lie applied
with common-sense nud cnution. It
is unwise to be without s stock of this
emulsion on hnud the wbolo year
through.
The experience of horticulturists
during 1HHH ought to have taught them
the necessity of also having on hand
Bordeaux mixture. Inuring July and
August of the year a fungus develop

of barrels of apples, as well as se

a prompt application of the Ilordeiiux.
I think it as well for us at all times to
apply Bordenux in the spring. It is

There are at least three ways of
transferring bees fiom box hives into
movable frame hives. The old method
is to pry open tho old hive with cold
chisel aud hammer and cut out the
combs und fit thoin into the frames of
the movable frame hive and fasten
them iu with sticks and strings. After
trying this method on several colonies
I must pronounce it messy, sticky and
unsatisfactory. A much better wny is
to drive them out by the following
plan: Take the hive which is to be
transferred under a tree in the shade
or ulougside of a building and turn it
bottom up, place on top of it on empty
box of the same size, blow in a little
smoke at the bottom occasionally und
drum on tho old hive with a oonple of
sticks for ten or fifteen minutes.
Nearly all the bees and the queeu will
go up into the empty box above. In
the meantime place the hive in which
you wish to put the bees on the stand
where the old hive stood, so as the
field bees wh'ch will be coming in all
the time have a place to go. Of course
they will be rushing in and out, not
knowing wliut to make of it. Tuko
the bix of bees and dump them in
front of the new hive and they will
soon run iu and make themselves at
home. Stand the old hive in a new
locntion and drum out again iu twenty
one days. Put these bees in a new
hive or add them to the old colony as
you piefer. If oue desires two hives
from the one, it is best to let the old
box hive cast a swarm first, then drum
in twenty-one duvs, and the one drum
ming will Iih nil thut is nece-eury.
Sii'l auothur way, which is better
and less work than either of the above
methods if one wishes to keep the
whole force together and get the most
honey, is to take a movable frame hive
full of combs a week or two before
swarming time and pla. e under the
box hive, closing the entrauce of the
upper hive and compelling the bees
to go through the new oue. When
honoy begius to co ne iu ra iidly the
bees will crowd the queen in to the lower
story, always putting the honey above
the brood. When the queen is laying
nicely in the lower story, put a queeu
excluder between the two hives and
roon all the brood will be hatched out
above and t combs will be fi led
with honey. It cau ba taken off, th
combs cut out, the honey extracted,
the old combs melted into beesax
and the old hive cut up into kiudliug
wood. I am trying some thia way
now aud find it the most satisfactory
method of all, gettiug more honey and
wax aud keeping down the increase.
