Tho War Department has at last matured plans for giving the Army of tho United States a reserve simi lar to that of European military es tablishments. Tho plan, which will be presented to Congress at its next session, involves tho creation of a "Reserve," consisting, In the first place, of discharged Regular soldiers of able body and good record, whose names will be placed on the rolls oi the War Department as ready to re spond to a call and who will receive pay at the rate of $3 a month. This It is calculated, will make a body 'ot 40,000 trained, disciplined men who could Immediately raise the war strength of the Army to 100.000. There will bo in addition a "Nation al Reserve" of 100,000 men of military Inclinations, whose names and ad dresses will be on file ready for a call and who wilr In tho meanwhile be undergoing drill and discipline in some form of organization, probablv mostly In tho National Guards. These will receive n small sum yearly of say, 2. With other National Guards and militia kept in readiness the to tnl available strength of the array for any emergency will ne 250,000 men This will give a fighting strength of me very best material quite equal to the actual fighting force immediately available of any other Nation. Na tional Tribune. The New Japan. For the future we see a new Jannn standing at tho sea-gate of the far Orient and interpreting the East to the West. As the Marquis Ito ex plained during his visit to this coun try four years ago, Japan partakes of both civilization, and her correct poli cy Is that of an "honest broker." That she will not employ her own strength and her Influence with China to insti tute a propaganda of the yellow race against tho white is, we believe, assur ed by the renewal in stronger terms of th Anglo-Japanese alliance. The Pacific will belong to Japan. Great Britain and the United States, and on that broad soa there will be room for the commerce of all. The econ omic triumvirate is a geographicaal ueccssity.

There was not the slightest sound, but a long line of chafing water stretched across the streaky calmness. Then the vapor set tled over all, and wo could hear hut not see the seething and pouring water all about us. The captain ordered a buck etful to be drawn up. It was hot, and smelled like gas works.

The vessel gave a gentle side roll, nnd word was passed that we were aground. Over went the lead nnd came up covered with blue, oozy tnuil.

There are many contrasts between the little town of nearly three centuries ago and the Dor chester of to-day, one of which is brought out by a comparison of the school reports. Kariy In the first set tlement a sehoolhouse was built on the Meeting House Hill. The records say that the parents of each pupil were obliged to provide two feet of wood, or two shillings, sixpence, otherwise their children could have no "privileges of fire." This sounds primitive, but not more so than n second statement to, the effect thnt no girls were to be allowed In the school. The people of Dorchester, however, Aid not propose to debar their daugh ters from all education. They could be taught at home, nnd on one nfter noon each year the girls were admitted to the public school. 1'hls was for the purpose of a general catechizing, nnd each girl was expected to answer nt least two questions correctly. It could hardly have been a season of enjoy ment for the poor maids, for one reads that the master always put the most difiieult questions to the girls in order that the "benefits the boys received from his instruction might be more ap parent." But the lack of schooling did not ren der the young women of Dorchester useless. .Judging from a story told of j King rhiiip's Wat no culture could have added to their prompt notion in time of need. An Indian once tried to enter the house of the Minots. There was no one in the building but 'a maid nnd iwo smnll children, nnd the maid had never been to school. Her first act was to hurry the liltlo ones under two enormous brass kettles. "Now lie still!" she commanded, nnd then she ran for the family musket. The Indian shot through the window. but missed his mark. The girl did better. She hit the savage on tli3 shoulder, which increased his fury n:id bis determination to enter the house. Ho forced a door, but the girl was ready. With a quick movement she dashed -a shovelful of burning coals full in bis face. Giving a terrific yell, the Indian fled, and was afterward found dead in the woods. The govcrument . of Massachusetts presented tho heroine with a silver "wristband" engraved with her-name and the words: "She slew the Narra gansett iuntcr." IN A CREVASSE. There is no pitfall more to be dread ed by the mountain climber than a glacial crevasse, especially if it is masked by snow. A plunge into one is Almost certain death. In the sum- I SAW : mrm I met of 1S07 a party ef Englishmen ex- plorlug tho Canadian Rockies ret out to climb Mount Gordon, a peak mora than 10,000 feet high, which had never linnn P III A1 On ih wor nnnt 4lia summit, n crevasse lnlornn.nl hotwect their party nnd their goal.' Over it lay a bridge of snow, and on this all , crossed in safety except tho last, Mr. Thompson. Tho bridge gave way with! him, anil ho disappeared from view far down In tho Icy mass, where be could be beard calling for help. Mr. Collie, the geographer of the party, be- ing the lightest of the number, was sent down into the crack on a rope to attempt a rescue. In his book, "Climbs and Kxplonitions," he describes the ex- penence. I put my foot into a loop of the rope, was pushed over the edge of the abyss and swung lu mid-air. On one side the ice fell sheer, on the other it was rather undercut, hut again bulged out- ward about eighteen feet below the surface, ranking the crevasse at that point imt much more than two feet wide. Then It widened again and went down inlo d!:n twilight. When I descended sixty feet, almost the entire length of the rope, I became tightly wedged between the walls, nb- solutely incapable of moving my body, My feet were close to Thompson's, but his head was farther away and three feet lower than his heels. Being face downwnrd nnd covered with fallen snow, ho could not see me. I shouted for another rope, nnd when it came down I managed to throw one end to Thompson's left hand, which swayed about until he caught the rope; but when it was pulled it merely dragged out of his bund. Then with some dillieulty, putting my hands above my head, I managed to tie a noose in tho rope, and with it lassoed that poor, pathetic arm, which was the only part of Thompson which could be seen. Then came the tug of war. If he refused to move I could do no more for him. Moreover, I was afraid that any moment he might faint. If that had occurred, I do not believe he could have been got out at nil. for the force of the fall had Jammed him farther down than it was possible to follow. Slowly the rope tightened ns it was pulled by those above. 1 could hear my heart thumping In the ghastly still ness of the place, but nt Inst Thompson began to shift, nnd nfter some time he was pulled into nn upright position. To get a rope round his body was of course hopeless, rnrlly by wriggling and pulling on my own rope I so shift ed that by straining one mm over my head I could get my two hands to gether, nnd then I tied the tightest Jamming knot I could think of round his arm, Just above the elbow. A shout to the rest of the party and Thompson went rapidly upward, dragged by one arm, till bo disappeared round the ice bulge forty feet above me. ' I was full of dread lest tho rope slip nid he come thundering down atop of me; but the rope held, and lie got safely out. I followed. Most marvelously. no bones had been broken In his fall, His pack must have saved him. Perhaps it acted ns a brake in the first narrows. Itut he em phatically gave It ns his opinion that whatever scientific explorations might br necessary on the summit of the Rockies. Investigations made alone, six ty feet below the surface of the ice, in nn inverted position, were extremely dangerous and unworthy of record. LESSONS FROM A EOAT. A boy w ho early learns to handle a boat has achieved more in education than he who graduates at the head of his class In the city high school, writes Mr. Thomns Dixon, Jr., in "The Life Worth Living," nnd gives his reasons as follows: A boat teaches him the first" lessons of life, law and obedience, in vital ways. A ooat says to mm: ' Keep in harmony witli the law nnd I nm your swift and willing servant. Put if you take your hand off that sheet In a gale, or forget to ease my sail to that cats paw in the wind, I shall dump you overboard." A boat is a specific for conceit. When a boy reaches the advanced ago of thir teen nnd begins to instruct his fathef and mother on the conduct of life and the meaning of things, give him oj boat and turn hi in loose in tide-water. He may get wet, but he will be saved early from many afflictions. I told my boy ono day not to venture In bis little sailboat too far from th yacht in the wind nnd tide of the hour. He waved his arm in lordly gesture and informed mo he could sail it any where in sight nnd get back all right I said nothing, nnd let him go. An hour later, I came out of tho cabin and went ashore In the naphtha tender for supplies. The wind was blowing a spanking breeze nnd tb4 tid was running like a mill-race. I saw my omnipotent young navigator off to tho leeward a mile, anchored, and with a distress Fignal flying. I ran the launch within a quarter of a mile of hiin, but paid no attention to his frantic gestures for help. I passed on to the shore, nnd nn hour later re turned. Again I passed him waving his arms and bellowing for a tow. When I got back to the yacht, I took the megaphone and asked him why be didn't como in to, dinner.' The wind was against him, and no words from him. of course, could be heard, but tho rapidity of his pantomimic explana tions of the impossibility of lifting his anchor in the terrible tide or making headway against it, would hove been luminous to a wooden Indian. I allowed him to think another bonn, and then sent tho launch to tow him In. lie was quiet and humble fori twenty-four hours.

Ridiculously Low Pricts Faid A tistt Who "Turn Out" Material For the Dealers, ' "There are between 400 and BOO 'artists' in .Chicago clone and many more in other big cities who do plcco work for the big houses," said David O. Kensington, of Chicago, nt the St. Charles Hotel. "A few months ago the Inanagers of the stores were consider- lng a plan to cut down the pay five Irents an hour nnd steps were nt onco laken to organize the 'artists' into a 'union. The movement promised to bo so successful that the dealers gave up the idea, and the old scale ot wages was maintained. Tho painters work in water colors, oils and crayon and pnslel and paint anything they are told to. They work nt their homes for the most part and get orders every few days for, say, 100 landscapes nt ,3 each, or D00 water scenes nt $10 each, or 1M0 nninials pictures nt $20 each. They give Just ns much time nnd attention to their work ns they are paid for. Of course they do not put thiir names to their pictures, but sometimes the firm requires thnt tho firm name be nflixed on some of tho better grades. The dealers ship the pictures nil over tho country to the smaller art stores, nnd the pictures for which the pninters get .?:5 or ?3 npleco nre sold for $20 or $r.O to tho connoisseurs of art who delight In tlielr private collections. Such a scheme ns Hint of course takes nil the artistic temperament out of a painter, but they do it to keep the wolf from the door nnd make a living in the way In which they think an Almighty Providence en dowed them. Every one of these men and women hope nt some time to bo noted nrtlsts, but the chances nre n hundred to one ngnlnst Jheni. Most of them will be slaving away at it nil their lives, giving what talent and am bition and love of nrt they have to the traffickers for a mere pittance. And the Joke of It all is that the buyers of oil paintings nnd water colors nnd other works of art believe that they are getting the finest kind of work. N'ot one In n thousand who buy pictures can estimate their value." Milwaukee Wisconsin. Free to Wander. Boston has had to stand much jok ing on the subject of its crooked streets. Every one has heard of the stranger who, lost in the tortuous ways, desperately caught the coat tails of the man In front of him, nnd got along very well until nn abrupt turn revealed the fact thnt It was his own coat tails to which he was clinging. Nearly seventy years ngo a French man gave nn interpretation of the de vlcusness of the highways which is both pleasant nnd pntriotic. It is found in a book three-quarters of a century old, called a "Trip to Bos ton," by E. C. Wines. "I have passed a delightful morn ing in Boston," writes the author. "We went to Charlestown in an omnibus, passing through a considerable por tion of the city. The irregularity of the streets is amazing. It is a com mon saying that Boston was laid out by cows, and I can well believe it. The labyrinth of Crete never equaled It. I do not say tho Irregularity is disagreeable; on the contrary the ef fect is pleasing. To a stranger it is n perpetual surprise." Sixty years ago the Marquis of Cha telot visited Boston. "Marquis," said nn npologetic citi zen, ""you will find Boston streets very crooked. They turn and twist In every direction." "Ah, ver' good, rer' good," replied tho courteous nobleman.

At these festivals thou sands of pounds of candles are burn ed annually to the different saints. These candles were formerly made by Italians and they wero really works of art. Of late years, however, tho Standard Oil company has supplied n large part of them. They are made of yellow wax, but Instead of being cast in a mould as are ordinary candles, they are made by flattening the wax Into thin lay-1 ers and rolling the layers Into candlo form. This gives them greater strength than the molded candles. And as some candles weigh as much as 100 pounds and are five or six feet tall, they need extra strength to with stand the melting of the hot July and August weather in which most of the festivals occur. The plain yellow candles are bought by the Italian dealers who do the hand painting and decorating that make these candles so pretty to look at. New York Sun. DON'T MISS THIS.
