DO YOU WAN' If Ycm Do, Now is 1 the -A. Washington, February 25.?"A good citizen makes a good soldier, and on the other hand a rjan who, as a citizen, is constantly in trouble and a burden to the eemmunity in which he lives, will find little to attract him in the army." This is the comment of Gen. Henry C. Corbin, assistant adjutant general of the army. In view of the proposed increase in the artillery branch of the service, the adjutant general of the army is preparing for the prompt or ganization of the two additional regi ments of artillery provided for in the Hawley bill, which passed the Senate on Washington's Birthday. It is the intention of the department to have these two regiments enrolled, equip ped and ready for active service within sixty days. The life of an enlisted man in the army is what he himself makes it. For instance a young man of 21 years . of age, of sound mind and good health eoneludes to enter the army. He presents himself at any of the mili tary pests, all of which have recruit ing station attachments, and files his application for enlistment. He may be a man of ordinary intelligence, but with little or no education. Perhaps he can barely read and write, and in some instances he can do neither. It is the desire, however, in making en listments, to secure men who ean read and write. However, a high grade of education is not essential for a new recruit in the army. the recruit presents himself at the military rendezvous, is put through rigid physical examination and if he comes up to the requirements of the service he is enlisted for three years, at the rate of $13 per month. This ; does not seem like a tempting com pensation to strong, able-bodied men of average intelligence, but as Gen. Corbin said, a good citizen should make a good soldier, and a soldier's life in time of peace is not one of hardships as is sometimes imagined. The new recruit, after being duly en rolled, is equipped with plenty of comfortable clothing. He is provided with a good warm bed in comfortable barracks. If he is an ignorant man he is taught to read and write at the post school, and his thirst for addi tional knowledge may be quenched at the post library. If he is inclined to be convivial his thirst for some of the .good things of life may be satisfied at the Canteen, known as the enlisted man'B<elub. Anyone who has visited an army .post knows what is obtaina ble at a canteen. Beer and light wines are dispensed, but no whiskey is allowed by the regulations to be sold. Precautions are taken to prevent over indulgence, but should the enlisted man partake too freely of the good cheer dispensed at the Cauteeu, he is obliged to suffer the penalty of several i ] hours in the guard house, with a little . ( extra duty on the side in consequence I i of his breach of discipline. - Th? sol- , 1 dier who gets drunk at a military post J ] is better treated than the average citi- j 1 zen, who after imbibing too freely j ( falls into the dutches of the metro- i politan police. Some policemen de- i ' light to use their clubs freely when ( handling an ordinary civilian drunk, 1 and it frequently occurs that a broken t crown and well thumped feet are the ) i additional penalties inflicted upon the < victims who fall in the clutches of the t police. f The first duty to which a raw re- t emit is assigned is that known in the t service as the setting up drill. He is c taught to stand erect, how to march, 1 how to fall in, and in a general way j 1 he is instructed in infantry tactics, j ] All this regular exercise tends to his physical development, so that while his miad is being cultivated his phy- I i sical development goes steadily on. j c If in the artillery branch of the service ^ his advancement will proceed in ac- ! \ cordance with the ability he displays, j After learning how to handle a mus- j i ket. he is instructed in the art of handling field pieces. Then by de grees he is taught how to manipulate i mortar batteries, siege guns, the mod- f ern eight, ten and tw?lvc-iueh rifles j and magazines. Jn a few months a i man of ordinary intelligence is ready i rfor active service at any of the great ! r sea coast fortifications. To become ! i skillful artillerists men are required ! y to possess some knowledge of arithme- i .? tic, how to read barometers and ther- i mometers, and also must have some j , knowledge of the force and effect of , the velocity of the wind. This enters : ; into -the sighting and firing of the . heavy ordnauce. , There are to-day in the service many i very bright men. who have enlisted as ? privates, but by industry and perse- ] verance have become experts in the handling of the great modern guns. : .Many of them are still privates, but it i is expected that some of them will be .promoted to-non-commissioned officers t in the two new regiments to be estai)- i lished. ; 1 The discipline of the army is cot as ? severe as some people imagine. Al- j though in some instances army^yti- i r TO ENLIST? iTo\xr Chance to Enter r till er y. nets have been known to render miser able the lives of some of the enlisted men under them, the relations between the officers and enlisted men are as a rule of the most friendly nature, and they frequently fraternize in hours of recreation. Of recent years athletic sports have been widely encouraged, so that to day there is afootball team or a base ball nine made up of officers and enlisted men at almost every army post in the United States. This ref erence to sports is made to show that \ the soldier's life is not altogether an unhappy one in time of peace. Of course the soldier is required to per- j form certain duties, sometimes he is subjected to hardships occasioned by severe weather, disagreeable surround ings and other discomforts, which every soldier, be he officer or private, must expect to encounterat some time in his military career. It is in time of war that the hardships fall heavily upon the officers and the enlisted men alike, and only those who have passed through active campaigns can appre ciate the horrors of destructive, bloody, demoralizing war. In making enlistments for the in fantry and cavalry branches of the service the same methods are employ ed as in the artillery. Of course the duties of the infantry men are not as exacting as those of an artillerist. It is true an infantryman in time of peace is further removed from general civilization than his brothers of artil lery and cavalry, and consequently the natural hardships which arise in modern array life fall most heavily upon the infantry arm of the service. Under the head of hardships in army life it is sometimes necessary to separ ate a married man from his family. To that end marriages among enlisted men are not encouraged, and in mak ing enlistments it is considered de sirable to select single men in prefer ence to men with families, all things being equal. At many of the army posts enlisted men arc married and live with their families. As far as he is able, the commanding officer of a post gives the married people quarters by themselves, and the wives perform j various duties around the post, such | as washing, dressmaking, etc., and in that way many a happy little family ! is kept united. It sometimes occurs j that Oupid breaks into the ranks of j the enlisted men at a military post ;1 ind then the victim of the god of love ' is required to notify the commanding 1 Dfficer of hit intended plunge into 1 matrimony. As far as he Is able, the j1 commanding officer usually endeavors j 1 :o discourage marriage in the ranks, j but if the victim is persistent, the j1 ?ommandiug officer generally gives his j ^ consent and manages to find quarters ' 1 for the newly wedded pair. J ^ Gen. Miles, in his last annual re- j : 3ort, paid a high compliment to the M character and efficiency of the enlisted ! 1 neu of the army, and he said that it j ?ad never been higher than at the i present time. The short term of ser- ! dec and liberal discharge by purchase )r order, of men who find themselves j J i insuited hnseliminated from the army j nost of those who are a disadvantage- 1 )us element. Under the army regu-j ? ations every post is a recruiting sta- 1 ion. the object being to effect a sav- : ' ng in transportation. If vacancies ( >ccur in one of the frontier regiments, ' ( he officers of that post are allowed to ill such vacancies locally, or as near 4 he post as possible. So it is with s he stations along the coast. If re- ? jrnits needed for dut>y in New York ^ tarbor can be secured in Greater New c fork, it is not necessary to go to the J Pacific coast for them. * During the past year the recruiting ' =' iervice has been conducted with un- ^ isually good results under the system v if sending the troops enlisted at the ^ 'arious stations to regiments and posts c vith the least practical delay. Not - mly have assignments been regularly * nade from recruiting stations and ren- 1 lezvous every ten days, but a very c arge proportion of the men-enlisted !1 it city stations have been sent at once c 'rom the place of enlistment to the * )05t where they were to stay. So c treat has been the number of Mien of- e 'erine to enlist that recruiting at all x Nations has been restricted to enlist- } nent of exceptionally desirable men, { ' flrithout prior service, and to former t midien with good discharges. < In view of the fact that the modern 1 runs are somewhat new to the service, ?ew methods will have to be employed n operating them. A distinguished irmy oflicer on duty at the war depart ncnt, in speaking of the proposed in- 1 :rease of the army, said : "'New 1 raus' is a new text from which no < ?rcachcr lins ever preached, couse- i luently I believe that the men who i ire required to operate the modem 1 runs mu>t be -killed mechanics.' It is understood that recruiting olli :crs in making the new enlistments inder the provision of the liawlcy jill will be guided as far as they arc ible by the suggestion here made.

Dived for Gold in Mountain Stream. Mr. Jay McMonnies, who for the past eight months has been in north Goorgia prospecting for gold, came down yesterday for a short stay in Atlanta. Mr. McMonnies has been a gold seeker all his life, and as such has figured in Australia, in Africa, and in our golden west. And, he says, al ways in hard luck. But if Mr. McMonnies can't find nuggets, he can find incidents. Some thing is always happening to him, or to somebody else in his presence. He has mixed up with Indians, Hotten tots, Australian Bushmen and Georgia moonshiners, until he's stored with an inexhaustible supply of stories, jokes and thrilling tales anent them. Be tween driDks, yesterday, he told enough of such to supply Archibald Clarering Gunter with theme and plot and motif for an even doien novels Mr. McMonaies would spin a story or crack a joke and when he had finished, somebody would "set 'em up." Then he'd tell another, and somebody would "set 'em up" again. And so on and ob it went. Finally, after a long pause in which nobody offered a move toward the bar, Mr. McMonnies began to fill his old briarwood pipe with an English brand of tobacco, and after lighting il-, and taking three or four puffs, he reared back in his chair, and as a final effort, said : "But the doggonedest thing of all happened in uorth Georgia day before yesterday,'' and his keen blue cetic began to fill with tears of mirth. After a moment he managed to con trol himself enough to continue. "It was up on some creek with a bloody Indian name. I had met up with a fellow in Dahlouega who told me that he knew of a deep hole in that creek into which he suspected a great deal of gold h?.d beea washed. So he had gotten himself a diving suit, and was on the lookout for a partner to help him in the search. I volunteered to be the partner, and forthwith we started. "We got there all right and rigged up the apparatus and prepared to get the wealth. My partner got into the suit?I screwed the helmet on, and iown he went. We had felled a log across the pool, and I seated myself Da it holding the signal rope and iwaited the jerk that would notify me he was ready to ascend. "The ripples on the surface had scarcely died away when a whole fami ly of mountaineers eame down the . mountain side to where I was. They had fishing lines and bait with them. i?d had evidently come down to the pool as their favorite place for a try at nountain trout. "Hello, Mister! What ye doin'?" greeted* the head of the family. "Fishing,"' says 1. "3Iust 'spect to ketch er whale, edging from ther size of yer Hue." "At this the entire family laughed, in ? began to dispose themselves iround the edge of the water. Soon .hey were all absorbed in their ang ing?all except the old man. I'res sntly my partnor jerked the rope to :ome up. "You got a bite, sure enough, Mis er," he said, in astonishment, as he ;aw the signal. j ".1 arose and commenced hauling in. Hie evident weight that was on the nid of the rope almost petrified them. They couldn't understand it, and not >eing able to understand it. began to ;et uneasy. I asked the old man to ielp me. He came timidly eut to vhere I was. and laid hold of the line. Iis wonder and fear increased with ivory pull. .Ju?t before my partner :ot to the top he turned alqo.se and itartcd baek to the bank. With one nighty effort 1 lifted my partner high mough for him to throw his arms iround the log. The ?dd man blurted ?ut a? oath as he caujrht sight of the i?rrid looking diving bell witk its yclopean eye, the old woman scrcam id and the children yelled aid the rhelc business were off and away up he mountain side in less time than t'll take me to kill another drink." ?ud the Irishman led in the laufhter hat followed his wonderful vivid *< - ount of the whole affair.

Strange Scavengers. Charleston, S. C, has the most primitive and peculiar scavengers in tho world. Hundreds?it seems thou sands?of earrion crows, or buzzards, in the very early morning swoop down upon the historical old city from the tall palm or palmetto forests which skirt the western suburbs. In the waking hours any passonger entering Charleston on the Columbia express eau see huge black lumps fall from the trees abeut. They never hit the ground. Out in the open these black lumps gather in a struggling flock and flop their way over toward the Custom House. They are buz zards. While the twilight is yet gray these vulgar birds go to the City Mar ket and infest it for an hour or two. Tho passenger who was startled by their dull flop from their palmetto perches, and saw great black clouds of them move across the low rice flats, can, if he goes to the market place, sec the sane birds, disgustingly tame, running about the stall floors of the meat mart, fighting with the hunger of dogs of the city for the bones and waste whieh fall from the butchers meat blocks. A stranger who did not appreciate the health value of these buzzards is liable to kill one of them. Then he is liable to be fined $10, for the city does not allow its curious soavenger birds to be destroyed with impunity. The Charleston Market is a noted plaee in the South. It runs from Market street to the water's edge, and is. the main thoroughfare for the crowd of pedestrians who come and go from the harbor boats. It is a novel sight to see the hurrying feet of work men treading their way carefully among these wild birds gathered there by the hundreds. Like domestic chickens, they stand about, and, like domestic dogs, they watch for every piece of waste as it is dropped from a meat block. One would hardly think, as he pushes the big birds out of the way, that these same feathered things roost in the forest, and are tame no where else. In the markets they never attempt to steal meat from the counter. Going through the three or four blocks of the big market one morning the writer counted over three hundred of these bnzzards walking about as nonchalently as though it was their own poultry yard. They will not get out of your way. They fight every dog or cat that attempts to run in op position, and will scramble with a man or a ehild who competes with them for a fallen scrap of meat. But they keep the Charleston markets elean, perfectly clean. As a result of their thorough scavenger work this i.-? the cleanest and healthiest meat mar ket in the world. Im coasideration of their assistance 1 in keeping the city clean the munici pal Council has made it an offence to injure or kill ene of them. At offen ier not only has to pay a fine of $10, but uausually gets a free lecture on the laws of health and the value of the buzzard? as assistant members of the local board of health. By an hour after sunrise the birds have all left the city. It is for this reason :hat the visitor to the city, who usu illy gets up after that hour, and trolls out later, never sees this extra- 1 )rdinary sight of wild birds acting as , n arket scavengers.?

Kvnnn Pharmacy. Gen. Hampton on Spain. Gen. Wade Hampton, one of tke few surviving Lieutenant-Generals of the Confederacy, consented to-day for the first time to give his views on the Maine disaster and the threatened war with Spain : "I cannot express an opinion on the cause of the Maine tragedy." said the distinguished ex-Confederate cavalry leader, "as tha.t is a matter which will be determined by experts and divers. But as to what course the United States should pursue should the dis aster prove to be due to Spanish treachery or to the fanatical hatred of the United States on the part of some individual Spaniard, I do not hesitate to say that we should demand a heavy indemnity and enforce the collection of it at the muzzle of the guns. "Here again another contingency arises. It is whether or not Spain would choose to pay or go to war. In the latter event there is not much doubt as to the outcome. There is one fact that should not be lost sight of, however, at this point, and it is that Spain has a navy as large or slightly larger than the United States, though I doubt if it, would fight as well as ours. Once war is declared we all know that its issue will be determined on the sea. Spain will be unable to invade the Un ited States, and likewise we are unable to invade Spain. There could therefore be but little land fight ing except that the Spanish fleet might shell a few of our more exposed sea ports. We in turn would take posses sion of Cuba and the war would ulti mately end on account of Spain's ina bility to continue it." Gen. Hampton was asked if he would offer his services to the government, but declined to answer. From his subsequent conversation the inference could be drawn that he would not. He would advise, he said, that the men of the South stay at home and let the North furnish the troops. "We are," saidhe, "justrecovering from a terrific struggle which depopu lated our section of the country, and another war would give us another backset. If ill becomes necessary our citizens should take arms to defend their seaports, but not otherwise." When asked what disposition should be made of Cuba. Gen. Hampton ex pressed a strong disapproval of annex ation. ''We have enough bad voters in this country now," said he, "with out taking in any more. It would be well for the United States to exercise a protectorate over both Cuba and Hawaii, but^I am unalterably opposed to annexation.? The State ?

This is ^doubly true when ' the white lips, the fevered brew, the blue lines beneath the eyes and the thin lit tle hands tell the pathetic story that baby is ill. To the child that conies into the world robust and healthy, the ordi nary ills of child hood are not a serious menace ; but to the weak, puny baby with the seeds of disease im planted in its little body even before birth, they are a serious matter and frequently mean baby's death. The woman who wants a strong, healthy baby must see to it that she does not suffer from weakness and disease of the import ant and delicate organs concerned in moth erhood. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription acts directly on these organs, allaying in flammation, healing ulc?ration and soothing pain. It fits a woman for wifehood and motherhood. It banishes the discomforts of the period of anticipation and makes baby's entry to the world easy and almost painless. It insures the newcomer's health and an ample supply of nourishment. It rids maternity of its perils. It has caused many a childless home to ring with the happy laughter of healthy children. Over 90,000 women have testified to its marvelous merits.
