8*fTS*tSTEJfDKNT, DAVIS of the military jnfiifi tan Wandered from the time he iodic charge of the force. He has made Trr^^f. and many of them, which do not n&sei credit on his ability as a superintendent. He compelled three saloons to at 11 o'clock when he nightly permit* a hundred others to remain open as long as they chooee. Superintendent Bans is not competent to fill the position which he occupies. He cannot fill the military boots which he wears.
TBX business men are contemplating taking steps by which foreign concerns that ©oroe here to operate may be compelled to pay license. Frequently stocks of goods are brought here and stores are opened for a few weeks. They do not par anything into the treasury, and are in consequence exempt from taxation. JtOHdent merchants pay their taxes on their stock. As a rule many of the tran aient concerns carry a shoddy line of goods. Tbey succeed in catching considerable trade and detract from the regular
and
legitimate trade. An effort will be n«(k to secure the passage of an ordinance compelling all such concerns to pay a license. The local merchants have reason to complain and with united effort they will succeed in accomplishing something toward the desired end.
I* your wife is sick and you wish to clows saloons in the neighborhood, you should make application of Saperinten dent Davis, professor of dress reform and captain of the military police. That he had the authority to close West Main etnet saloons at 11 o'clock is not denied. TitsA be did close them is unobjection abb, bat he did not cloqp other saloons at II o'clock. If he exercised bis authority in this instance he has the authority, regardless of police board, to enforce the law.

CAMP WALL STREET.
Scarcely bave you entered this almost bidden roadway when a sign board rises up at the left bearing the words, Camp Wall Street," and a more or leas artistically executed hand, with the initial finger pointing in the direction of the wigwams of the pale faces. As you near the oasis the desert of weeds becomes dense. It is a perfect wilderness through which a man could scarcely force hia way and over which there is no seeing—unless one could be on the aerial truck. But suddenly Camp Wall Street, with its tents, its dancing pavilion and its charming view of the river, opens before the wayfarer, to whom the high and clustering weeds, all-surrounding, have become oppressive, and he lets off a whoop of joyful surprise.
And then the welcome that is extended. That's what makes Camp Wall Street bo justly celebrated. All the attaches of the place are whole souled, happy fellows who are living on the fat of the land, and they make their visitors comfortable and at home. Wednesdays are the days when ladies are especially invited to be present, and on these occasions the camp is a perfect picnic ground. Music ana dancing, eating and drinking, boating and bathing, "dibbling for trout and dabbing for chub"—in fine, all the rollicking outdoor sport that makes life worth living, is engaged in with boundless freedom at this now famous Sumjner retreat.
The camo will be in existence until Fall. Citizens ol this place go out and remain a day or two, or a night, then return to business. There is no place where an evening can be more enjoyably spent than at Camp Wall Street. Everybody going out usually takes some articles eatable and drinkable, and in this wav the camp is kept continuously stored. The boys have an elegant subterranean cave, sided and ceiled with boards, wherein the provisions of all descriptions are kept under lock. TLe kitchen is ft conveniently arr&nged structure with all the utensils and paraphernelia that belong to such places, and the sleeping tents are handsomely provided. 8ix or eicht trowfc lines are out in the river all the time and close attention to them keeps the camp well supplied with fish. In the evenings, in default of a violin or better instrument, some fellow perches himself above the dancing pavilion with a French harp in his mouth and the tripping of some of the most fantastic figures ever witnessed begins. The fun lasts far into the night, as a rule, and there is nothing like it. Ah, but Camp Wall Street is a great place—an elegant place!
After Forty-»«ven Years.
uspot there was an affecting scene—the
meeting of two brothers for the first time in forty-seven years. A short time prior to the arrival of the train an elderly gentleman named Melson, accompanied by a grown son, informed Mr. James D. Cathell, the ticket examiner, the object of his presence there, expressing doubt whether he would know his brother, from whom he parted when a boy. Mr. Cathell volunteered to assist him, and left him outside the gate while he met the train and scanned the passengers as they disembarked. Axnohg the last to leave the train was a man who boro a striking resemblance to the inquiring brother, and he, too, had a son with him.
Mr. Cathell addressed him and learned that he was the looked for brother, and walking up to the other formally introduced them. There was for a moment an intense look at each other, then their arms were opened and they kissed and embraced each other, while tears filled their ayes. They then exchanged recollections of their boyhood,'while their sons (first cousins) wei-e not long in getting acquainted with each other. The two brothers had been living within forty miles of each other for some time, one in Baltimore and the other in Washington, and it was hut recently they discovered the fact.—Washington Star.

If anybody should auk what Camp Wall -Stop* ta, an appropriate reply would be, "It is an oasis in a des»rt of home weeds." On the East bank of the winding Wabash, near Pottavill© and about five miles above this city, the tents of the greatest sports of Terre Haute are pitchetl and there, by day and by night, do a goodly number of ruatica^ng denizens hold high carnival. The place is discovered after one has driven north about five milea, oast Collett park, then turned to the left down a steep incline into the bottoms and followed* read that winds away, like a aerpent, through the dense horse weeds, for a distance probably of a quarter of a mile.

Plant* for Htrbtrimmh-Ro* to Do It Neatly. The assistant botanist at the Ohio experiment station, in a bulletin issued from the station, gives some timely directions for the pressing and preserving of plant* for herbariums.
For pressing the plants a supply of specimen sheets, which aro simply sheet* of paper folded once, in which the specimens are placed, and driers ore needed. The usual sixe of the specimen sheet* is 13x18 inches, and the driers, of soft carpet paper, should be of the same dimension*. The press may consist of two boards a little larger and wider than the sheeta&nd driers. One is pot down as a foundation ou which to place the plants. On this are placed two driers then comes a sheet, between the folds of which are arrayed the plant*, then two more driers, another specitqgp sheet, and so on until all the plants have been placed in the press. On top of this pile put the other board, and on this a weight, sufficient to press but not crush the plants. Good sized flat stones servi well as a weight. In arranging the press make the pile as even as possible, and change the drier* at least once a day. Do not remove the plants from the press until 1 hey are thoroughly dry.
Before mounting specimens for the herbarium they must |be poisoned to present insect attack on them. Dissolve an ounce of corrosive sublimate in quart of commercial alcohol.
Either place this solution in a shallpw vessel, in which the'plants may be immersed, or in a deeper vessel, and apply the solution to the .plant with abroad soft brush, and be 'careful not to get the poison on the fhands. Place the saturated plants between fresh driers, put them back in the press and lay alight weight on them. When dry they are ready to be mounted.
A HERBARIUM SPECIMBN. The herbarium sheets should be of smooth, stiff, firm white paper or bristol board, and each sheet should be inches, which is the size adopted in the United States.- A mixture of equal parts gum tragacanth and gum arabic in solution, with a few drops of carbolic acid added to keep it from moulding, is the best glue.
There are two methods of mounting plants. One is to glue the specimen to the sheet, and the other is to fasten it to the paper by mean? of gummed strips. In the specimen shown, in the cut both methods have been used. White court plaster cut into narrow strips is a neat thing to use. The label should be put on the lower right hand corner of the herbarium sheet—3}^ 2}4 inches is a good size. It should coni the generic and specific names of the pi tflWTIWfflSSSulO'

The Production of the Gamut.
We can show the production of the gamut by cutting little pieces of wood of different sizes, which one throws on to a table the sounds produced vary according to tb^sizepf thp2dip§p.nt P)ece8,
MUSICAL GLASSES-.
The same effect may be obtained much better by means of goblets more or less filled with water. These are struck with a short rod, and emit a sound which can be modified by pouring in a greater or lees quantity of water. If the performer is gifted with a musical ear he can obtain by a little arrangement a perfect gamut by means of seven glasses which each giv| a note. Apiece of music may be fairly rendered id this manner, for the musital glasses frequently produce a very pile, silvery sound.

THE cumoaiTY imop.
A Collection »f PngitivejKaeU and Oat-of-ttia-OnJiaary i^trMatioOr Few ceremoniH eustnaJl have originated In recent times, avers Oaf riek Mallery, who expresses himself fo#'Wji in a recent is* sue of The American/CnthropologUtr Their forms, whether now trivial or still importaut in sociology, dee vestiges of the past, and only by ajuhropologfc studies are trace&ble to their1 genesis and, early form. AU authorities, unswayed by a religious or theorizing biajt, agree that in the origin of these ceremonies there wa* nothing designed or intentional that Is, they were not directly invented with definite purposes. A thing is not now and never ha* been customarily done beca^uie it is intrinsically right, but is considered, to be right after and because it ha* been habitually done, whatever it* origin or the circumstances in which it prevailed.
The rule* of courteous behavior s* they now exist are not the Immediate effect of deliberate conventions, but are the natural and slow product of the forces gradually developing social life, and they exhibit the laws of evolution with aa groat distinctness as is demonstrated in the physical realm. Men have not fabricated, though tbey have framed rule* for themselves. They have fallen Into the customs from which rule* were framed, and then by unintended modifications have deviated into novelty and new rules.
Peter the Great and Hit Dwarfs.
Formerly it was the custom of the great to maintain dwarfs in theirretinne, and in the middle ages there were few royal courts without one, and there are some instances of these little people rising to distinction. Peter the Great, czar of Russia, who was himself between 8 and 7 feet high, was very fond of dwarfs. When he went on his travels he had in his retinue four dwarfs. The most-celebrated of Czar Peter's dwarfs was a little lady whom he called Poupee. When fully grown* to womanhood she was only as tallas, a child, of 5 or 6 years of age.
She was very pretty and fextren»ely clever, and the gigantic czar took the greatest delight in her company, and was never tired of amusing himself with the lively little creature. Dwarfs seldom live to a great age, but this tiny mite outlived her friend the czar and all the members of his court, and reached the age of 100 years. She had never suffered from any illness, and preserved all her faculties to the close of her long life
Hari-kari, or the Happy Dispatch.
Hari-kari, or the happy dispatch, was Japanese mettiod of execution. When an official of rank was condemned to death sword was sent to him he took leave of his family, performed certain religious rites and then plunged the sword into his bowels, drawing it down and across. If gentleman had been insulted he would commit hari-kari on *the doorstep of his enemy, who by the Japanese code of honor was compelled to do the same. Only old fashioned persons perform the happy dis patch nowadays in Japan it has been shelved along with many other good old customs of that lovely empire, says The Sun.
Dr. Brown-Sequard Distanced

The Fleur-de-lis.
The royal insignia of France, the fleur-de-lis, is generally supposed to have originally represented the lily. Authority on the legends and history of plants says "In France the fleur-de-lis is so named by a corruption of flettr-de-Louis it docs not represent, as is generally supposed, the flower of a lily, but an iris, which was the emblem adopted by Louis VII on leaving tor the Crusades, and was worn by the suooessors of that monarch."

H. A. Hazen tells in Science that a topical thunder storm is first seen as a deose, ragged cloud in the,west, extending ha height of over a mile. The sky is entifcly clear elsewhere, except sometimes ooveed by a fleecy veil of cirrus. The cloud infhe west rapidly enlarges and covers the except a small portion to the east southeast. The motion of these clou distinctly from the west, and rapid, the surface wind is from the south, gentle. This wind is blowing general storm situated about five miles to the northwest, and has no tkm at all with the thunder storm fat suddenly interjected upon the

The Latin Race*. |f I
Strictly speaking the Latin people were the inhabitants of Latium, in ancient Italy. The Latin races of today are the descend ants, more or less remote, of those races who speak languages more or less derived from the Latin tongue. Such races are the Italians, Spanish and Portuguese and French. The South and Central American countries are called Latin America because their inhabitants are of Spanish and Portuguese extraction. .f
