The hazing consisted of putting Prentiss through the fatiguing exercise known as the “spread eagle,” which consists of bobbing up and down n-s quickly as possible, keeping all the muscles of the legs and body stiff and bending only the knees.

Lieut. Dyer, one of the instructors, was a quiet spectator of the proceedings.

The strongest man could hardly keep this up for more titan five minutes without

| Tin? Thirteenth ITiitcd States iufanI try, stationed at Fort Niagara, N\ Y„ | has made an innovation in its methods of transporting the monthly remittance to pay the command from Lewiston to the lost. For years it has been customary for the otiieials in Washington to forward the necessary amount to pay the troops to Lewiston, a small village on the New York Central railroad, about seven miles from Niagara Falls. At this point it was met by a detail from the jx»st and transjiorted to headquarters in a large covered wagon having six seats, and in which the escort rode. But the advent of tha bicycle and its growing jiopulnrity have wrought a change which, in army circles, is most notable. A few days ago when the remittance arrived at Lewiston it was met at the station by Lieut. M. McFarland and an escort of six men, consisting of Sergt. George Cool, of Company II, Privates Ranch, Moon, Rose, Gooser, of Company C, and Suiter, of Company II. They traveled by bicycles and were armed with Colt's 3S-caliber revolvers, securing the money package, which was placed on Lieut. McFarland's wheel, and they started on the return to the fort. The trip was made in about 35 minutes, and all were delighted with the new service. The road from Lewiston to Fort Niagara rims along one of the most beautiful portions of the Niagara river. It is wooded at points, and the possibility of escaping to Canada by crossing the stream might tempt some liold highwaymen to attempt a hold-up of the bicycle party, but they would find tint the revolvers of the regulars are carried for business and that they know how

to use them effectively.

HISTORY OF CORONATION. tjurea Victoria Collect* Neimpaper CMpplng* Concerning Her Family, Queen Victoria ordered that a full account of all the ceremonies and festivities of the Russian coronation lie mode out under the auspices of the English embassy of St. Petersburg and sent to her. Also, that a very eoinplete collection of cuttings from the newspapers, both the dailies and the illustrated weeklies, shall he made for her, so that she may possess full descriptions, both from the official and popular point of view, of the second most important event in the history of her posterity— namely, the coronation of her granddaughter, Princess Alix of Hesse as czarina of all the Russias. This volume, which will be e-ompileel under the direction of Sir Fleetwood Edwards, will be an interesting addition to the queen’s collection of literature on the subject of her family.

SHED RIVERS OF TEARS. Hunting Ammonia ripe Set* n Multlrinl.

to Weeplni;*

A dozen funerals could not have procluced the weeping that tlien' was oi. Harrison avenue the others-vening, and yet there were no deaths that have been reported. The cause of the tears was Hie ammonia that was rampant cn th< street, says the Springfield Republican. The Kibbe Brothers company hat: jus* ■aught a new refrigerating machine foi ■HLling their chocolate The workmen giiid just finished putting it in and hud Started it for a trial, when a pipe burst and the ammonia vapor, which is used for producing the cold, escaped rapidly into the basement, causing a general stampede. Nothing could stand 1 s'fore the stinging vnpor, and it soon had the basement all to itself. But that w as not enough, it spread upward throughout, the building, but, as it was six o’clock anyhow, and the employes were just coming out, it did no harm there. But it also spread out into the street, and filled it full as far as Dwight street, and tke passers-by had to hold their handkerchiefs in their faces. A considerable crowd gathered as near as they dared to watch the efforts of one of the workmen to get his coat and vest, which lie had left in the basement in his hurried escape. It was impossible togointo the place again, and he got a long pole and angled through an open window for his garments. It was hazardous fishing, however, and the ammonia soon drove him away baffled, and he went to his sup|ier in his working jacket. Nothing could lie done but let the ammonia waste its sweetness till it was s[>ent, ami the aroma was powerful all night. BONHEUR’S LATEST PICTURE. Forlrayal of a Historical liuel Fought l»y Tu n Famourt llorm**. At Lcfcvrc’s gallery, in King street, Rt. James, London, is the lust effort of tliat astonishing genius. Mile. Rosallonheur, in a large picture called “Tho Duel,” an historical incident of 1734, representing a combat lietween two famous heroes, the Godolpkln Arabian and Hobgoblin, the property of Lord Oodolphin. The two thoroughbred animals are engaged in fierce fight witJi teeth and heels, and it is needless to say that such a subject severely taxes the liest powers of an animal painter. The famous author of “The Horse Fair” has not foiled,, and now, at a time of li^when she lias passed the allotted apace of man upon earth, she has produced a work which, in design, drau uig, and execution, she has ne'er excelled in her prime. Those earing for horse painting will be more than delighted with this really extraordinary production, which surpasses the pictures of most of the greatest masters and is excelled by none. In an upper gallery at Lefevre’s, also, is a portrait of Mile. Bouhuur by Marchioness de Grass, or, as she signs herself, Consuelu F’ould. The great animal painter is pictured standing, in three-quarter length, wearing a black velvet blouse, palette and brushes in cnc hand, and the other on the head of her noble hound, Lttron. As those of us who have seen Mile. Bonhour know, she is a type of dignified, handsome old age; and in this eminently successful presentment we see her ns she really is—bright eyes, comely and singularly intelligent looking. MADE THREATS WHILE ASLEEP. Juil Sentence Imported on an Iowa Man for Singular Misconduct. Fifteen days in jail was the sent* nee imposed by the police court on John C lark, of Sioux City, for talking in his sleep. Clark says the habit dates from Ids childhood. On the. occasion of his offending lie was particulaily violent, however. He admits having used extremely profane language, and explains Ids knowledge of the f.iet by saying that he awoke in time to understand a few of the lust words leaving his mouth. His wife was much alarmed, knowing that he always kept a revolver handy. She jumped out of bed and rushed to a neighbor's in her nightdress. There she recounted her husband's behavior, said she feared he might decide to use his firearms as well ns swear at her unless some ono took steps to wake Inin, end finally dispatched nn officer to the house to take Mm in custody. The court thought Clark’s habit a very bad one and sent him to jail in the hope of breaking it up. V/ILL HAVE A NEW BUILDING. I'nlver»lty Club, of Sew V.irk, Dei-lde* on nn Invert!meat. It has been decided by the University club of New York city, by a practically unanimous vote, to buy the half bock frout at the corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-fourth street, which is a part of the old St. Luke hospital site, and to erect a new elubliou.se to cost over $000,000. The club’s option on the property expires at noon and Secretary George MacCdloch Miller, of St. Luke's hospital, was notified of its acceptance in the morning. The property fronts 100.5 feet on Fifth avenue and 125 feet on Fifty-fourth street. The new clubhouse will cover its whole era, and be six stories high. The purchase price is $075,000.

MILITARY DRILL.

Declared by Authorities to Be an Incrmploto Exorcise.

lSo*ton I>Urn*«<* tho Fabjert and Obto Its Introdnction Into tbe Fublir SrhiMil* of That City.

The enthusiasts over military drill for public school lioys, and they are not unknown in this community, get a cold douche in the report of a .- t cial committer of the physical educe ion society of Boston. This committc , consisting of Col. T. F. Kdtnande, Dr. Dudley A. Sargent and Edward II. Hartwell, condemns unreservedly any system of military drill in ‘he schools—first, because for obvious reasons it cannot afford institutions in the art of tiring the vide, the most vital part of drill tactics, and, second, because it affords very incomplete and unsatisfactory physical exercise for growing boys. This judgment is fortified by the expert opinion of H. J. Koehler, master of the sword at the West Point military academy, who shows that the manual or arms has long since been regarded by military men as fatally lacking as a physical exercise. He writes in these emphatic words: “I deny absolutely that tlii': drill contains one single feature which cannot lie duplicated, aye, and discounted in every well-regulated gymnasium in the country to-day.” And again he says: “A thorough physical training develops all the necessary physical qualities to the greatest degree, and it does it without injury. If w e have athletes, w e shall never be wit hout soldiers.” These objections from the standpoints of expei ts in physical culture and military training ought to be conclusive, say s the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. If we can give our boys strong, well-de-veloped bodies they will turn soldiers quickly enough in any emergency, and with the advantage of not having to rid themselves of a mock, incomplete drill habit, when (he time comes to practice real war. With these arguments so strong it is not necessary to urge the more sentimental, yet not less forcible, considerations as to the undesirability of turning the minds of the youth to thoughts of war more than can he helped. Strong, lusty American boys are belligerent enough without putting muskets in their hands every day in the school y ear. TOUGHEST SCALP IN NEW YORK. Surgeons t’se « Mullet When Sewing Wound* in "Skinner** Meehan** Head. “Skinner" Meehan, at one time the leader of the famous “( at alley” gang, lias what is perhaps the toughest scalp in New York if not in tho world, says the New York World. The surgeons ot Gouverneur hospital have had much exjierieueo in sewing up wounds and they are entitled to speak with authority. They unhesitatingly declare IhiG Mr. Meehan’s scalp has never been equaled for thickness and tenacity. A few nights ago “Skinner” engaged in an altercation with Policeman Turner, of the. Madison Street station. Skinner hit the offioer on the nose with his fist and the blue coat retaliated by breaking his night-stick over Mi - linn's load. "Skinner” resisted, even after discretion w as advisable, and before he was subdued his scalp w as lacerated. When the surgeons at Gouverneur hospital, to which the injured man wan taken, attempted to sew up *he wounds they found that they could not thrust the sharp, three-cornered needles through the scalp by ordinary means. The skin was ns thick and tough as alligator hide, A blacking brush was secured, and by using the hack of it as a mullet the needles were driven through the skin and 17 stitches were placed in position. During the operation “Skinner” swore volubly, and after it was concluded he started out looking for his assailant. His jxirents are respectable people, but “Skinner” ha** been bad for a long time. COFFIN TORPEDO. New Contrivance to Prevent the Robbing of Grave*. The coffin torpedo is ihe latest device to foil the grave.robber. (if lute years the practice of despoiling graves has become so widespread that every effort has lieen put forth to find some means to end it. It is believed the present invention will achieve that purpose. This new contrivance is a regulation bomb, as deadly as any ever invented by anarchistic genius, says the New York Journal. It is placed in the casket just previous to interment, and after it is placed in position and the lid of the casket screwed down, it will lie an exceedingly dangerous undertaking tonttempt to force the casket open. T5ie lid of the closed coffin, presses down u spring. Raising this lid, even in slight degree, releases the spring, causing it to strike a percussion cap. The resulting explosion of the <xip also explodes the Ixmil), and, while the concittsidon would wrench the casket, it is almost imjiossible for the person who is trying to open the casket to escape instant dentil. . - # ( Hiitcrbary Cathedral. An appeal is made by Dean Farrar through tho columns of the London Times, in behalf of Canterbury cathedral, “at the close of 13 centuries of its eventful fortunes,” Dr. Farrar goes on to say that the cathedral has been "sortously impoverished" by “agricultural depression and other causes," and that the dean and chapter are incapacitated from “doing many things which should be done for the dignity* of the service.” A sum of $100,000 is needed to repair the crypt and cloisters and for other purposes of the kind. * Shaved Before They Fought. Alexander the Great, liefore an engagement, commanded Parmenio to have all his soldiers shaved, his reason for so doing being that a long beard affords a handle for the enemy .

VIENNA WOMEN AWHEEL. Cycling r»ny of sixteen Mnhe Boo Mile* In Flee l>»y». The first stage of a noteworthy cycling experiment was brought to a close at Berlin the other day by the arrival of 10 members, including live women, of the Vienna Rndtvnn Yerband, who came to visit the Deriin industrial cxjxvsition during Whitsuntide. Leaving Vienna on Tuesday morning they rode via Prague and Dresden, covering a distance of close to 5::o miles, w ithout accident or dropping out of a single member. They suffered serious inconveniences and del iv ow ing to Vain, with consequent heavy roads, but they kept together the whole time and the party reached Templehof field early* on the morning of the fifth day intact. This is regarded os a striking illustration of the ut ility of bicycles ns compared with horses for coloring long distances. Last year a body of picked horsemen, officers in the Austrian and German armies, attempted the same journey with horses, the effort resulting in the breaking down of several of the riders and the death of some of the horses, while other horses were so exhausted they were useless. The Vienna cycling party, cue and all, arrived in good condition! They visited the exhibition during the day and proposed to start on the return journey in the course of a week. They met. with cordial treatment along the road, and are greatly pleased with tiie success of their novel excursion, which is certain to be extensively Imitated.

DISTASTEFUL ORDERS. Superintendent nt Annapolis Naval Academy Is Making Himself Obnoxious. A New York Times si>ccinl from Washington says: The naval cadets at Annapolis are greatly stirred up over recent orders issued by the superintendent. lie has designated certain paths in the vicinity of his quarters us “private,” and upon these paths no one is supposed 1o intrude. An attache of the academy says that a nurse girl may not trundle a baby carriage over these private paths without danger of lieing ordered off and being made the subject of an official communication to her employer. Certain other walks abou t the grounds may be used by cadets only during certain hours. The bicycle has also attracted the attention of the head of the t cade my and he has prohibited its use in the grounds. If an officer owns a " heel he must not mount it until he is licyond the academy gates, and he must dismount outside on ids return. More than that, the superintendent had directed that bicycles must be taken to the nearest gate by the nost direct route. There is another order, ihe pur-]>o.-e of which is not apparent in Washington, and that is the prohibition of any cadet riding in the streets of Annapolis. even with his parents and guardians. Naturally the cadets resent any such system, and the orders are by no means popular with officers stationed at Ihe academy. The action of the superintendent fills with wonderment everyone in Washington who cares anything about affairs at Annapolis. BETROTHED IN INFANCY. Parents Are the Spon*or* for a Girl Aged Two ii ml Hoy Aged Three* A remarkable ceremony was enacted at St. Croix, Ind., nt the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Albert M. Mans the other evening, their two-year-old daughter and the three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Maxwell lieing betrothed .n marriage. The ceremony was presided over by the older Maas, who is the only living grand parent of the tots, and the parents of the little ones may be said to have acted the part of sponsors for the principals, each of ihe four promising fervently to eudeaeor religiously to remind the children of their own and the parental vows. The ceremony was followed by feasting and mirth, which reminded one of a real wedding or an old-fashioned christening. The bride to be was dressed in pure white, with a wreath of natural flowers. Her promised husband wore a sailor suit of navy blue, with a while ruffled shirt bosom. After the vows were pronounced by the parent-spon-sors the parents and children sipped wine from one. gloss, bride and groomi led sipping first. The little couple seemed to enter heartily into ihe affair, as if they were cognizant of its full significance and were proud of it.

SHOT 380 SNAKES.

Missouri Farmor’rt Story of Dortt ruction In u Don of Kept lies. A pr at dun of snakes was discovered the other day in Hatton cave, northeast of Roeheport, Boone county, Mo. Robert Hatton, a farmer, was looking for a missing calf w hen ids attention was attracted by a huge block snake, which, upon his approach, glided rapidly in the direction of the cave’s mouth. Hatton pressed his way to the dark entrance of the cave, and there, lying on the ground, was his missing calf in the agonies of d< ath, while its lyidy was literally covered w ith writhing, hissing serpents of every size, color and species. He opened fire with Ins gun, making repeated shots, and killing 380 of the reptiles. Among the number were rattlesnakes, adders, vipers, copperheads, bull snakes anil one black racer that measured 12 feet, in length. Mr. Hatton skinned this monster reptile and brought the hide to Columbia, where it has been stuffed and is now on exhibition.

Mr. W.

I heartily and cheerfully recommend the remedy to all suffering from diarrhoea.* The remedy is for sale by druggists. jly The ears of the garden slug are located in his neck. Caucasions are more liable to deafness than people of any other race. The United States has 460 deaf mutes to the million of population. ^ The first steam stationary engine was put up in Philadelphia in 1773. The first public library was established in New York in the year of 1700. The first gold pens were made by baud in 1S40 in the city of New York. The iirst American theater was opened in 1750 in the city of New York. To be a good listner is to possess as great an art as to be a good talker.
