Front the Philadelphia Times.
While, war is as uncertain as life, or j
politics, ami the nation that engages in J
it has no assurance what the final out.- j
come will be. it will be entirely safe for
the present to class the often repeat tl
statement that a new call for troops is j
about to be made with the stories of the
everywhere pre n it Spanish spy and the I
numerous Spanish warships off the New
England coast.
When the lirst call for 125.000 vol tin
teers has been tilled, the regular arm) j
recruited to oi.ooo as provided for by
law. the a.500 mounted riflemen, the
>.500 engineers and the 10.000 yellow •
fuver immuties mustered into service the !
active military force of the country will j
be 202.500 men. The government will
hardly call for more soldiers until this ;
very respectable army has been given a ■
chance to do something or demonstrate
that it cannot do anything. Kven the j
unexpected necessity of sending an army
to Manila will hardly furnish a reason
for increasing the army above the 200,- j
boo men already called for. Tin; various j
e.alls will doubtless soon be filled, over j
ino.uunof the 125,001) volunteers having j
been already mustered Into the service
of t lie 1 nited States.
With voo.ooo well drilled and well
equipped men we should be able to
occupy Cuba and send an effective force j
to the support of |)ewe\. and until it has j
been demonstrated that this force is
tusiiOicicnt it i.- not worth while to
•■nlist more men to be paid, clothed, fid I
and armed at a large and unnecessary
'""lay. It i- hardly probable that the
reports of further calls for troops have j
an\ official basis whatever, and until a j
call i> actually made, it will be well to j
as-nnie that no more troops than those
a I read) called for will be required.

Newspapers which ought to know I
better are printing a lot of rot about
homls of blood, language and interests j
between America and Kngland. thereby
trving to smooth the way for an alliance
d some sort between the two govern- j
mails. Not per cent of the Ameri
can population is of English descent,
and outside of our aristocracy not 10 per !
cent of our citizens wants an alliance i
with a government that has been equal
ly as bloodt liirsty and inhuman as Spain. '
Manila was captured by the Dritish in
1 but it required thirteen ships and
nearly T.ooo, men. 1.000 of whom were
lost, in the assault upon the fortifica
tion-. to accomplish what Admiral
Dewev did with a smaller numerical
force and with no loss save that of the
ammunition used. That illustrates the,
difference between old and new naval ,
methods and machinery. I
A MOST FAMOUS MODEL.
Tho Womnn Wlio I'osril for Millet**
"Tlie AnKelnN."
Mere Adele. Millet's model for tlie
"Angelus." has for the first time had
her fine features reproduced in the
j plastie art. She has been painted,
sketched, photographed and posed for
painters and students, but it remained
j for Mr. Brooks of Boston to complete
i a half life-sized bust of the famous
model in wax. It has been cast in
plaster, and is soon to be reproduced
in bronze and marble.
| This will probably be Allele's last ap
i pea ranee among the artists. She has
long since given up posing and it was
not an easy task for the sculptor to
i get her to pose. Though poor and al- j
i most in want, the o'd woman was sen
sitive about having her pained, care
worn and wrinkled features repro
duced. She knew that portraits which
will immortalize her, taken in all her
strength, vigor, heelth and beauty,
had been sent out to the world years !
ago and. on the laurels which they '
have brought; her she was contented 1
to rest. Besides, she is now too fee- j
ble to pose, for though only 58 years of
age, Mere Adele is a confirmed in
, valid and unable to move froi.i her !
easy chair without assistance.
In her simple-mindedness Mere Adele j
is unconscious that her beauty now,
though another type, is far beyond j ,
what it was when she was Millet's
Mil.lot's MMIO'.I, FOR TIfK 14 A NUKI.I'S.'
favorite model. The very beauty for !
which Millet chose her lias become in- {
tensified by her life of struggle, poverty '
and care. The l':ue is more tender,
more enduring, sweeter in expression 1
and bespeaks a life of honest toil, sup- '
ported by undying faith.
She was born within a stone's throw
of the little thatched cottage where 1
i she now lives. I.'er father was a de- 1
, serter from one of Napoleon's regi- 1
ments. He hid in Barbizon and later 1
married Allele's mother.
1 Her earliest remembrances arc of her ! '
life in the fields, helping her father ! 1
to gather potatoes and turnips. At
the age of 15 she was taken into the
house of Mmr. Millet as a domestic, j s
j She took almost entire charge of the
painter's children and in her spare . '
| moments posed.
I The story goes that while she was one 1
day assisting her father in the fields, 1
Millet watched her from his studio j 1
window and nindr several sketches of j '
her in his sketch b ;k. Just as lie was 1 !
about to leave the window he saw the I 1
father and daughter bow their lie ids j '
in prayer as the Angelus bell pealed
from the little 1t..; .lzon church tower. !
; It was then that lie conceived the idea ' '
for the painting which made his repu- I
j tntion. and which incidentally made j 1
that of his model.
It living Drill !%n With Vail*.
There is an'endless number of tricks |
resorted to by the man with the fear- i
ful and everlasting thirst to get a
drink after his financial means have
become exhausted. A new one comes
to the front, and a Pittsburg saloon
keeper was the victim. During the
early morning tho German proprietor I
ot the place seated himself at one end
of the bar and read his morning paper
while waiting for trade. A glass work
er who was known to the proprietor
; rushed into the place on his way to
j work and threw something on Hip bar.
It rolled off into the rinse tank buck i
of the bar.
"I threw a dime over there, S 1
he said, "but I guess you can find it." j
"Oh! that's all right. Jack. What !
will you have?",
"Give me a 'jigger,'" the man le
plied.
The glass of cheap whiskey known j
by that name was served and the man I
hurried to work.
The same thin. 1 : occurred twice
again during the v cek. and on F itur- |
day the tank was leaned out.
"You will find three dimes in that
tank," said the proprietor to the wo
: man who was doing the cleaning; but
when the bottom of the tank was
reached a half dozen ten penny nails
were found. The man had been work- :
| ing the night bartender in the same j
fashion.

MUZZLED DUCKS.
Not Itecaii.c Ttiej Alight, Ittu to Silence
Their (J KMC kin;;.
A baggageman on the Santa Fe. who
runs into Kansas City from out in the
western part of Kansas, has lost lots
of sleep. If is doubtful if lie can ever
catch up with it. He leaves Hutch
inson at night and reaches Kansas
City in the morning. Nearly every
night he brings in his car two or three
coops of live domestic ducks. During
the night, when lie has no baggage to
deliver at small stations, it has been
his habit and privilege to lie down
on an improvised couch and doze.
With the advent of the ducks the cloz- !
ing stopped. The almost constant
quacking of the decks, who could not
understand their strange environment,
would not permit of sleep.
For many nights, as he lay awake,
he planned relief. He thought of
strangling the ducks or chloroforming
them. But neither expedient scented
good. One night a bright idea came
to him. After lie had put it into exe
cution the ducks were silent.
The next night lie had two coops
of unusually vociferous ducks. As ;
soon as it came time for sleep he
wrenched a slat from one of the coops,
reached in, anil pulled out a duck.
From his pocket lie took a small rub
ber band, which he slipped over the
duck's Hill jest back of the nostrils.
The duck tried to quack, hut the rub
ber band, while it stretched a little,
would not permit the duck to open its
bill far enomih to use its tongue. Only
a murmur came from it. One by one
the ducks were muzzled, and the bag
gageman rested comfortably.
The commission men were surprised
next morning when they received a lot
of ducks with rubber hands around
their hills, and when lite hands were
removed the shouts of protest from
the ducks were deafening.
•'Klondike Freight-ram."
A young man who is in charge of a
party of gold-seekers on the route to
the Klondike sends a full account by
letter to a companion in Spokane of
the means by which lie lias been trans
porting his supplies northward. One
of these means was a pack-dog which
hus been denominated, on account ot
his importance, a "Klondike freight
var."
"He is not a large dog, either," says
the letter-writer, "hut he will pack
seventy-five pounds through the snow
after the snow-shoes have made the
trail. Dogs that will pack forty or
fifty pounds are common.
"Tlie Indians at Madison Creek
move everything with dogs. They
handled something like a million feet
of logs in that way last season. Some
of the logs were forty feet long and five
feet in diameter. T hey use no horses
In this country in winter. The dogs
are fed only at night, and then but half
of a dried salmon. The natives live 011
the same food.
"The priest is ihe high ruler among
them, it was lie who caused this year's
extra supply of fish to lie kept; he told
them to put up enough for two years.
Now they eat the fisil they caught the 1
summer before last. It is not uncom
mon to see fish piled as high as twen
ty-live to thirty feet, all dried. it
rests on posts set in the ground, and
on the top of the posts are kettles to
keep mice and squirrels from getting
at the fish."
Another Klondike "freight-ear"
which this expedition came across was
a "klootchnian. or Indian woman,
who did not weigh more than one
hundred and twenty-five pounds, but
who would, nevertheless, curry a bar
rel of provisions, weighing not less
than one hundred and fifty pounds,
nailed to a board and Hie hoard strap
ped out on her back. With this burden
she marched thirty miles between day
light and dark, making camp at night,
and keeping it up.
The Americans who have taken tHe
Klondike irail need no convincing that
the notion that "an Indian won't
work" is a fallacy. But for Indian
packers, male and female, no gold
would have been brought out of Alas
ka, for no supplies for ti.e miners
could have been taken in.
< 1111111 Outfits >i Aluminum.
Among the new things which are
being made of aluminum are camping
sets of culinary utensils, advertised as
Klondike outfits, which are marvels
of lighlness. All on lit for six persons
consists of thirty-nine separate pieces
and weighs complete hut thirteen
pounds. It comprises four cooking
pots, 11 cotfee pot, two frying pans,
six cups, six knives, six forks, six
spoons and six plates, a salt shaker
and a pepper shaker. The pots are
oval in form. The biggest one meas
ures 1014 inches one way Hy 714 in
ches the other and the whole set is
made so as to pack into this one. An
outfit for three persons, consisting of
twenty-one pieces, weighs pounds
only, and an outfit for two persona,
containing fifteen pieces, weighs only
4 pounds.

profitably spent in rest or recreation.

vIONEY FOR A DEAD MAN. '
UUI Mi4lici**m I.iito for (he KrriiiK
Sun l-'n Mliin I Mren In Dentil.
"Queer things happen at funerals,"
said a clergyman recently, who has
officiated at many, "and I remember
one occasion which impressed me
greatly, on account of the standing of
the family in which it happened, as
well as from the peculiar circumstan- ;
ces surrounding the incident—the be
stowal of money on a dead man."
The narrator was urged to relate
the story, and on the promise that no !
names should he mentioned he con- 1
tinned:
"It was a funeral at the house of
one of my parishioners, and 1 was
greatly surprised when I received no-*
tice to attend and conduct the ser
vices. 1 had not heard of any mem
ber of the family being ill, nor had I
been summoned to the death-bed, but
I jumped to the conclusion that it was
an old servant who had perhaps died
suddenly.
"It proved to he a bad son the
black sheep of the family—whose
shadow had not darkened their doors
for years, but who, it was always be
lieved. hiid been supported at a dis
tance far enough to prevent him from
disgracing the family by li is misdeeds.
"Now he was brought home dead, |
and I was expected to give him as lit
tle blame and as much praise as was
consistent with the dignity of my of
fice and his relation to the family.
"I need not go into that part of the
ceremony, but come to what I consider
the real expression of feeling which
consecrated the memory of the dead
man as nothing that 1 said could have
done.
"Just before the casket was closed
his old mother rose from her seat with
the mourners, and approaching tbo
dead, slipped a silver dollar into his
hand.
"Jim never liked to lie without
money in his pocket,' she said in a
low. tremulous voice. 'Many's the
dollar I've slipped into his pocket un
beknown to him. cut he always found
it and was thanktiil. 1 don't expect !
he's going to need it now, and may lie
he will never know that mother put
it there, but somehow I shall feel bet
ter if lie has it.'
"And 1 felt that ♦ lie woman who had
loved much and forgiven much had
preached a sermon of forgiveness and
mercy before which I with my plati- :
tudes must remain dumb."
Till! Olilcs! TortolMU.
A tortoise weighing 500 pounds and
measuring twenty-, ven inches from
the- Lip of its tail to the end of its noso
has just crawled into the light of pub
licity from the island of Mauritius, its
sponsor being W iber Rothschild, of
the Zoological garc" us in London.
The Mauritius owner of the tortoise
is authority for the statement that it
was in the possession of his family for
one hundred and 'My years, and ex
perts who have enamfned it declare
that it is not loss than three hundred j
years old. Think of the events that
have occurred during the life of this
tortoise!
Like the rest of tho genus, these I

islands between the most northerly \
point of .Madagascar and Zanzibar, tlie
name is somewhat misleading, as pop
alar nomenclature is likely to lie.
The number silll surviving on lite
low, bush-rlnd Islands of Aldabra is
very small, and the fact that there is
no permanent population on the islands j
leaves the creatures at the mercy of j
passing crews. That they continue to ,

penetrating the tangled thickets in
which they conceal themselves.

' SOUTHERN FIRE FIGHTERS.
Tlio Savannah Fire Department Han Un
dergone Many Change* of Late.
Old citizens are commenting on the
change the Savannah Fire Department
has undergone since the ante-bellum
days. The recent fires have given rise
to many recollections of former meth
ods of checking flames.
The eyes of one man, who was post
ed in a glass house in the City Ex
change dome, constituted the alarm
system. He was a sort of sentinel, and
while keeping watch over the city
1 cried out the hours and whether things
were well or no. There are a few
members of the police force to-day
who served in the old glass house and
recall the days when fire alarms were
sounded by ringing the old bell.
Hand pumps formed the apparatus
to drive water, and the effective work
they did is well remembered. All fire
men before the war were volunteers
and with the exception of the chiefs
of divisions, were composed entirely
of colored men. They were strong,
hardy, and to get to a fire was a sort of
pastime which was thoroughly enjoyed
by them. While working the pumps
they would strike up a tune, keeping
time with the movements of the pump
handle and ringing out their song
in such harmony and fulness as to
catch even tlie ear of the critic. Then,
too, there was fun for the negroes get
ting to their respective station houses.
It was a.standing rule that the first man
to place his hand on the lock at the
station received a dollar, and all were
wild to earn it. It was as much an
honor as a gain—a sort of trophy held
until the next fire. The station houses
were built of brick and located in the
squares at different parts of the city.
Proof Afinlnnt Foolpu(In.
When the timid-looking man got
out of the barber chair after being
shaved he fumbled in one pocket after
another while the porter dusted his
clothing.
"Well," he said, with a note of as
tonishment in his voice, as he plunged
his hand for the fourth time into his
right trousers pocket and felt around.
"That's funny. I thought 1 had a
quarter in that pocket."
He repeated the search of his other
pockets, while the barber who had
shaved him leaned his elbow on the
back of the chair, crossed one leg over
the other and eyed him suspiciously.
"Guess I must've lost It," said the
timid-looking man as he put his right
foot up on a chair and began to roll
up his trousers leg. The barber wink
ed at the artist in charge of the chair
next to his and moved nearer the
razor case. The man rolled and pulled
his trousers leg above his knee, and by
that time every one else in the shop
was watching him with intense inter
est. They saw that lie wore a woman's
black stocking. Just above his knee
he wore two garters, one about four in
ches above the other. He slipped the
, upper garter down, rolled down the
i top of the stocking carefully, and there
were several Treasury notes lying
I spread out flat against the undereloth
■ lug that covered his leg.
| "What do you carry money in that
way for?" asked the barber as he hand
ed the man change for the $5.
"Footpads," was the laconic reply of
the stranger.
I'ataKoiiinn CiiantH,
The tribes to the east of the Cor
dilleras in Southern Patagonia belong
t> Araueanian stock, and are a superior
race. The Tehuelches—as they call
themselves—of Southern and Eastern
Patagonia are the people whose un
usual stature gave rise to the fables
of earl) days to the effect that the
natives of this region were giants,
i averaging nine or ten feet in height.
It is a fact that they are the tallest
human beings in the world, the men
averaging but slightly less than six
feet, while individuals of four to six
inches above that mark are not un
| common. They are in reality by no
moans savages, but somewhat civilized
| barbarians. They are almost unac
quainted with the use of fire-arms, not
withstanding some contact with the
whiles, hut they have plenty of horses
and dogs. Unsurpassed hunters, they
capture the guanaco and the rhea, or
South American ostrich, and from the
skins of these and other animals they
make clothes and coverings for their
tents. They make beautiful "capes,"
or mantels, of fur and feathers, which
are highly prized by Europeans and
find a ready market, most of the pro
ceeds being spent for bad whiskey,
which is brought into the country in
quantities by traders.
Singling on die March.
All the military authorities ofEuorpe
are now paying great attention to sing
iug on the march. The French army
has of late permitted it soldiers to
sing while marching. A little book of
soldiers' marching songs was publish
ed in London, with Gen. Wolseley's
words printed big on the cover to the
effect that men march better and ar
rive fresher when they sing than when
they don't. Curiously enough, most of
these songs are American, words and
I all.
Kind of Pipe lo Smoke.
A soft clay pipe is the best. It gives
a cool smoke, and the nicotine is easily
and generally absorbed. Briar pipes
and meerschaums are satisfactory for
a while, but get clogged with tobacco
oils in the bowl and become bitter. A
hooked pipe—one with a curved stem—
is the best shape. Ebonite stems spdil
the flavor of good tobacco. Nothing is
better than real amber or bone. Cellu
loid is dangerous.
One thousand tcr.s of soot settle
