A MATTER OF DISCIPLINE.

fh« Difference Between the Regular® and tbo Militia.

"The difference between the ret»ttlars and the militia," said an officer ©f the First regiment of the Illinois national guard, "is only in the matter tit discipline. We cannot observe the ifftn discipline of the regulars because we are not in this game for our lifework. i'he regulars are in the army for business, while we are in the militia for glory and pleasure. I »aw something the other day up in the camp on the lake front which •would have caused trouble if it had happened in our regiment. One of the officers there was Bhowing me around. Through some oversight he forjrot his hat, and he didn't want to walk around the camp without one.

SWORD OF A CHANT.

Strange Dlm-overy Made In ExciTnllnc for r. inundation.

Workmen engaged in putting new sills under an outbuilding on Col. Fleisehner's property, adjoining the residence of Mr. Rudolph Goldsmith, on 7th street, made a remarkable find yesterday in the shape of an old-fash-ioned two-handed sword. To have found any kind of a sword in such a place would have been remarkable, says the Portland Oregonian, but no one would ever imagine that under an outbuilding in Portland would be found a two-handed sword such as was in use in the middle ages—that is, during the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries, in the time of the crusades, when lighting men wore plate anror and knights-errant wandered about the world rescuing lovely princesses from enchanters, giants, ogres and other "bad men" of those days. When this business was dull, as Mark Twain puts it, they "went a-grailing" —that is. in search of the holy grail, which was nothing and was to be found nowhere. The sword, as its name implies, was to be used with both hands, and if it failed to cut through an enemy's armor the force of the blow was enough to knock him flat. The blade of the sword is four feet long and continues past the guard nine inches as a tang for the handle, which is composed of two pieces of oak, apparently, having a round knob or ponmcl at the e: ?.nd dark with age. The guard is simple bar of iron about ten inches in length. The whole iron work has been hammered out and is, of course, now very rusty. The blade is two-edged. so as to "cut 'em a-comin and a-gwine," and the weapon looks as if it might be a genuine relic of olden times, when such swords were used by men of might, "whose bones are dust, whose swords, as a. general thing, are rust and everything said about whose souls must be taken on trust." A number of people who yesterday judged from fifteen to pounds, but it kicked the beam at ten pounds. Just how the sword came under the outhouse no one ':an imagine. The building was moved there some twenty-five years ago and has not been disturbed since. Perhaps this paragraph may meet the eye of some one who can throw light on the subject, for the sword was doubtless placed under the building since it was moved there. It is not probable that any old crusader went through this way en route to the holy land, and no such swords have been in use since this country was discovered, and the peoi le who lived here before that knew nothing of iron If it is a genuine relic it is of considerable value. .....

In soldiery to me that I will never lorget At the same time it would never do for a militia officer to try it* for the simple reason that the relation between us and our men is an entirely different one from that preyailing between the officer and the ooldier in the regular army.

"Old Bill' Vosburg, the green-goods man who swindled Anton Cimfel, a farmer of Clarkson, Neb., out of $500, was allowed to go free in New York the other day because ihe court thought he was uo worse a crim na! than the sucker who bit. Recorder Goff said he thought the legislature should make a law declaring the farmers who '-ame on to buy green go.'ds should be prosecuted as felons, lie had no sympathy for them. They were greater criminals than Vosburg, because he was but fleecing thieves, or men willing to be thieves, and as great swindlers at heart as the prisoner. Farmers who seek the purchase of counterfeit money do so with the intention of working it off on innocent people and swindling them out of good money or property. If the law should take them in hand they would lose less money to sharpers.

Courtship Among the Ilocrg. Courting among the race is a novel proceeding. A young man, having, of course, asked permission of his father to court the hand and heart of some neighboring damsel—by neighboring I mean anywhere within fifty miles— proceeds to purchase the most loudly colored and decorated saddle cloth for his horse that he can possibly find. He will spend large stuns on this article of equine adornment, and one knowing the country can never mistake a young Boer going out courting. Mounted on his most spirited steed, he approaches the house of the father of his lady love. Unlike the youth of more civilized life, he avoids the lady and seeks her father, from whom he reverentially asks permission to court his daughter. The old man returns no answer but consults his vrou, and the youth joins the young folks. No more notice is taken of him during the day, but if his request be agreeable to the parents when the hour for retiring comes the mother solemnly approaches the young man and maiden with along tallow candle in her hand. This she places on the table, lights, and, bidding the couple an affectionate goodnight, retires. This is the silent signal to the lover that his suit is successful.

The young couple are permitted to sit up together in the kitchen so long as the candle lasts, when the lady retires to the dormitory of herself and her sib ters and the youth shares the bed of the brothers or male portion of the family.—The Forum,

Character In ».

From the letter "t" alone can one read character, says a French graphologist. The vertical line represents the fatality of life and the horizontal bar the influence human volition exercises upon this fatality. That part of the verticle line projecting above the horizontal bar indicates the measure of ideality in the writer's make-up. The practical and material part of man's character is shown in the inferior part of this line. Take the poet. He generally crosses his t's above the verticle line bis aspirations are high. The practical man invariably crosses hie t's midway between the ideal course and the material. He proves himself to be in neither altogether. The optimist crosses his t's with a line sloping upward, from earth to sky, so to speak. The pessimist, on the other hand, crosses his t's by commencing at the ideal part of the letter, but from there he descends with a downward stroke.-

Section of Went Side That ReRemblei the Regions Below Houston Street.

The things said and done in the Bowery have long been celebrated in song and anecdote, says the New York World. They have been rightly characterized as very queer. It is strange that nothing has ever been said about Sth avenue doings. W

Generally speaking, Sth avenue is a very respectable thoroughfare. Its large German population is prosperous, its Irish element is orderly and churchgoing and its other nationalities are good citizens. There are spots, however, as full of devil-may-care individuality as any block in the Bowery between Chatham square and Bleecker street.

One of these spots is that portion of :the avenue between 23d and 24th streets. It is full of lights—red, blue and green—and full of shadows—somber and black. It is full of women and beer and bad wine. It smacks of the Bowerv from first to last.

This little Bowery is in full blast at 11 o'clock. It. is full of concert halls, and from every hall there comes the squawk and squall of fiddles and pianos and yellow-headed women. They are the main attraction and the smokeshrouded crowds listen to the fence-rail music and step-ladder warbling full of beer and beatitude and utter content.

Here are young men who do nothing I for a living, and do it gracefully. Here are other young men who do everything for a living, and do it surreptitiously. Here are young women who know far more about a beer glass than a church, and, like the men. thrive and are happy in an atmosphere of smoke and song. "Say, young feller, ain't yer goin' to buy a drink for us?" is their favorite question. Maybe the "young feller" will and maybe he won't. It depends on two or three things. If he is a "mark" he will buy if he is "flush" he will buy if he is drunk he will buy. If he is an Sth avenue "Little Bowery" rounder he will make the girls buy. And they will be proud to do it provided he is not some other girl's "feller."

In one of these concert halls, up at the business end of the bar, sits a fat and block-headed female cashier. She rakes in the beer checks in an easy, oleaginous way and receives homage from tough-looking men between times. She also talks about "business." "Oh, yes," she says, "business is very good. The house is full now. Last night everybody was full."

This joke makes a great hit with the hangers-on. In the meantime men and women are coming and going in a desultory way. and upon the stage at the far end of the hall a bony-looking young woman is doing a modified and somewhat awkward skirt dance.

Up the avenue a block or so farther is another "concert" hall. Here a tall and attenuated female is fiddling away on a bronchial-sounding violin, while her companion in musical crime hammers away vigorously at the piano. There are not many persons here, but those who sit around the tables are all pretty drunk. A flock of square-jawed waiters flaunt their white wings around the room, jingling beer checks in their hands in lieu of money.

v.acui. isnx intended to dis

courage the legitimate business of a book agent, says the Oxford Democrat, but perhaps it may point a moral. There was a ring at the door of a South Paris house one forenoon recently and the lady of the house, taking her hands out of the flour on the cake board, went to the door. "Is Mrs. Blank at home?" inquired a stranger who stood at the door. "I am," was the reply. "Well." said the stranger, as he pushed by her and took possession of the parlor, "I would like to talk with you a few minutes." Tossing his coat and hat on the sofa and taking his prospectus from his pocket, he continued: "I am introducing a work that 'Is it a book on etiquette?" interrupted the lady of the house.

The stranger looked at her for a moment, then he took in the situation, also took his coat and hat and his departure.

HIS TIME WAS LIMITED

The Train's Delay Was a Matter of iaiportance to the Traveler.

They were holding the westbound express at Reno for the eastbound to pass, says an Exchange, and after a while a tough-looking character came sauntering into the waiting room and asked of the ticket agent: "Wall, how long afore this train leaves?" "Can't tell," was the curt reply.

The man went away, but in the course of half an hour he returned to inquire. "Heard anything vet?" "No." "Can't you tell when this train will pull out?" "No, sir. If you are here when the train goes you can go with it. It's no use coming here to bother me." "I don't want to bother you nor nobody else." slowly replied the questioner. "But mebbe you don't understand how I'm fixed. I'm Prairie Sam's partner." "Well?" "Sam got into a little sliootin' scrape uptown this forenoon." "Yes." -:r,: "And about an hour ago the boys turned out and pulled Sam up to a limb." "Did, eh. I hadn't heard of that. Why didn't they pull you up with him?" "The blamed limb wasn't stout 'nuff to hold the both of us and they was too tired to hunt for another. They gim me two hours to leave town in.

One of the hours has gone and I'm kinder anxus about the other. I kin buy a boss and ride out if that train won't be here in time, but I'd a heap rayther take the kyars. I don't want to bother you but under the sarcumstances "I see. Well, the train will be here in half an hour." "Good. That gives me thirty minits to play on and I won't look for a hoss. Nice weather this." "Beautiful weather for a lynching bee." "Of course. That's what I mean. I'll jest step up and take one long, lingerin' look at Sam and then ketch the train."

Poacefulness and Vegetable*.

An objection urged against vegetarianism is that it would make us too peaceable. A mixed diet is supposed to give restlessness, energy and love of domination, and, therefore, to give to races which adopt it some advantages over others which do not. The connection of food with racial character—if there be such a connection—is a matter which cannot now be discussed. The savage eats his enemy's heart because he thinks he thereby acquires hi.-3 enemy's mental qualities. We know that the analogy is a false one, but we sometimes reason much in the same strain. The Anglo-Saxon race is supposed to acquire its energy from the quantity of meat which it consumes. We might with an equal show of logic contend that our energy is due to our drunkenness or our love of gambling. If national predominace be a desirable thing that race will be the fittest to survive which has the greatest intelligence and the highest physical efficiency and which practices the greatest economy in the use of its resources.—

Westminster Review.

Good old California! It has been astonishing to those who remember her former exploits how she has let Cripple Creek dim her luster. But she is coming out now. A telegram from San Francisco announces the discovery of a new gold field and it's none of your beggarly 10-ounces-to-the-ton fields, either. The dispatch says that the first quartz assays $167,250 to the ton, or $83 to the pound. That is, it is pure gold with just enough rock mixed in to hold it together. 'Rah for the land of the Argonauts. They will be mining newminted double eagles and diamonds all cut. and mounted out there before long.

MOT l¥S

The full intensity of living is reached only by the perfectly healthy. Sickness discounts the capacity for enjoyment. "\V hen a piano is badly out of tune, the noises that come from it are certainly not musical. They are not beautiful. If it is only a little bit out of tune, you can play some few things on it You can create a a music, but you can

not make really beautiful, satisfying, soulstirring music, unless every string is tense and firm, unless every piece of the whole instrument is in perfect tune, in perfect condition, in perfect harmony with every other piece.

It is the same with a human being. If his body is all out of order and run-down, he will not be able to enjoy anything, no matter how full of enjoyment it may be for other people. If he is just a little bit out of order, if he "is not sick, but doesn't feel just right" he will only be able to enjoy things in a half-hearted sort of way. The nearer he is to being perfectly well, the nearer will his capacity for enjoyment be perfect. To really live, and to take his tart in the work and pleasure of the world, his body must be in perfect condition. If this condition doesn't exist, something is wrong and something ought to be done. That something nine cases in ten means the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It works directly on the digestive organs, and on the blood and through these on every tissue of the whole body. It -nkes the appetite good, the digestio.-i p«-. ct and nutrition rapid and easy. It supplies rich, red blood to all the tissues and builds up solid, healthful flesh. It brings perfect health and restores vigorous, springy vitality. It makes every function in life a pleasure instead of a drag. It is an invigorating tonic as well as the greatest blood-purifier of the age. You can get it at any drug store. If you care to know more about it, and about your own physical make-up, send 21 one-cent stamps to cover cost of mailing only and receive absolutely free a copy of Dr. Pierce's celebrated book, "Common Sense Medical Adviser iooS pages, profusely illustrated.
