ARMY RECRUITS, How a Boy Can Become a Commissioned Officer. The army is full of change just now. Troops are being moved from western to eastern forts, the rendezvous for recruits from the New York office is about to be changed, and temporary regulations are going out from Wash? ington in regard to enlistment. It is an apt time, therefore, to glance at the paths by which the men who comprise this army arrived at their destination. Some went by the good old way of West Point, others by enlistment?for it is not necessary to be a West Point graduate to gain the title of a brigadier general of the United States army, although many are under that impression. The enlisted ranks, as some sup? pose, are not altogether made up from the file of the idle and unwashed. Many young men who have failed at West Point, either from misbehavior or lack of study; many who are una? ble to take advantage of this prepara? tory school from financial reasons, feel ?within them too strongly the desire for army life to let these conditions he an obstacle, so they apply for en? listment. This movement sounds and appears quite simple, but the way is hard, and there are few who enter. Some fail, and these form a large majority, be? cause the deficiencies in the laws' gov? erning the physical requirements; others by their discharge after a short trial of the hard duties. Both the West Pointer and the recruit have equally difficult tasks, but the former has to serve four years for his commission, while the latter needs only work for two. That is the advantage of enlistment. It goes ?without saying that it is more agreea? ble to serve one's privateship on the Hudson in good quarters than' in the barracks of some western fort, but the latter also make good soldiers and offi cers. When a West Pointer is graduated, passing both physical and mental ex? aminations, he is'assigned to his regi? ment as a commissioned officer?a second lieutenant. The messroom, the cooking and the cleaning are not his to contend with; he has served what goes for that period at his train? ing school. The enlisted man goes into his regi? ment as a recruit?worse than a pri? vate?serves for two years, then, if his examination goes merrily, he is made a second lieutenant. An army officer told me of a case where a boy failed on his first exami? nation at West Point, left school in despair and enlisted. He was made a corporal, then a isergeant, and when the two years were out, made his ap? plication for a commission. He had studied diligently while in training, passed his examination splendidly, was given his commission?a second lieutenancy?and was exactly one year ahead for his class at West Point. A classmate joined the same regiment at his graduation, but the fellow who had failed at college antedated him twelve months in line for a first lieu? tenancy. Even if the enlisted man gets his commission two weeks before the col? lege man, ho is higher in line for pro? motion. The routine is this: A young man or boy wishing to be enlisted goes to a recruiting office, and must be five feet four inches in height, 120 pounds in weight, thirty-two inches in chest, not flat-footed, and with perfect teeth, eyes, heart and lungs. The examina? tion is strict, and hundreds of men are found faulty who were not consci? ous themselves of a defect. Another minor requirement is that they must not be muscle-bound. That is, legs and arms must move freely in rotation, otherwise their drilling would be im? perfect. Many boys cannot move their limbs in quick circles. If these requirements are met he returns next day and is examined by the surgeon. Any organic trouble, of course, qualifies him and a functional one retires him until it is remedied. Then a sheet is filled out as to age, birth and character, references given, and if satisfactory the applicant is Bworn in by the chief of the office. He is then sent to the nearest ren? dezvous. There are four of these in the United States?at David's island, near New York; at Jeffer^n Barracks, Miss.; Columbia Barracks. 0., and Fort Sheridan, 111. Ten days are spent there. The time is occupied in getting a bird's eye view of what bar? rack life for the private is like. Dur? ing this- time orders are constantly coming in from various regiments for recruits. Detachments are made up and sent out to the regiments under non-commissioned officers and the army life begun in earnest. Recruits are allowed a preference in regiment, but it is rare that the request can be granted on account of kck of vacan? cies. Otherwise they are drafted and take whatever comes to their share. A recruit is lower than a private, for he goes into a time of learning what the private already knows. He is taught orders and drilling. He cannot appear in dress parade, com? pany drills or guard duty. It usually takes three months to acquire profici-' ency sufficient to give him the privi-1 leges of a private, Then he takes his j duties up -with the rest and they are far from easy. He will get pretty sore and stiff from constant drilling; he must be a room orderly and must help to cook. He will get worn out and sleepy on guard and tired of the mcssroom. If he is fortunate enough to gain the approval of the commander, he will be made a corporal; then he is in for a commission and more privileges will probably be granted him, not to interfere with his strict duties, but ho can study and read. At leisure mo , ments he will go through a course of military tactics and take advantage, maybe, of the post school. He will rise on good behavior and patience and intelligence, to first sergeant, the highest rank of a non-commissioned officer. When his two years are up his commander informs the colonel of the regiment of his application for a commission and he goes up for exami? nation. Only one man is allowed from each company, and the best man gets the commission. If he is so for? tunate he is made a second lieutenant. If not successful, he can study for another year and apply. And this can keep on until he is twenty-seven years old. With the commission he is entered into aristocracy. His pay is $1,400 a year in the infantry, un? mounted, or $1,500 a year in the cav? alry. He is given a house, but he pays all other expenses. He then stands just where he would had he graduated from West Point, and his promotion will be in routine, either from the usual upward move or deaths or retirements. The examination for a commission from the ranks is very strict. His past life, mental, moral and physical deficiencies are sounded and criticised until one wonders how a man ever passes. Said an army officer to me once: "Why, they will find out if you shook your finger at your mother in your cradle, and if you shook it very hard it indicates a vicious temperament and you are disqualified." I knew a young fellow who was dis? missed for unfair work on a race track years before. The fellow had done nothing wrong and had studied hard and was very much of a soldier. But he was sent back to the ranks and was never able to rise. Once wrong, always wrong, to an army beard. Each promotion that offers itself has to be entered by examination. A boy who is ambitious to be very wealthy must not enter the army for that purpose, although there are some rich officers who knew how to invest their money. Living in very reasona? ble and clothes are not expensive. A second lieutenant gets $1,400, a first lieutenant $1,500; an adjutant, $1,800; major, $2,500; lieutenant col? onel, $3,000; colonel, $3,500 ; briga? dier general, $5,500, and a major gen? eral, $7,500. Sam Jones on President Cleveland. Rev. Sam Jones, fresh from Texas, came to town last night to talk about "Manhood and Money," and the usual very large and very enthusiastic au? dience crowded into the Marietta street opera house to hear what so entertain? ing a talker had to say on so interest? ing a subject. The lecture throughout was in Mr. Jones' characteristic style?replete with vigorous and humorous express? ion and the audience showed every sign of delight. Particularly did the storm of applause swell into an uproar when he held up as the highest type of manhood the president of the United States. "Independence and courage of con? viction are the twe essential elements of true manhood," said the great evan? gelist with force, "and no character in American history embodies these essentials more than does Grover Cleveland." (Loud and prolonged ap? plause.) "Mr. Cleveland has stood most of the criticisms and slings of the little pot politicians and little pot editors of this country, and stood squarely, un movable, uupurchasable and unim? peachable. When these little editors and pot politicians would jump on him, it reminded me of the story of the gnat that lit on a steer's horn and began to paw up sand and beg to be allowed to stay where he was. The steer looked up at him and said, 'If you'd, kept quiet I never would'er known you were up there.' (Laughter and applause.) "And so Mr. Cleveland seems to have said to the little fellows who op? pose him: 'But for your noise and odor I never would have known that you were in the country.' True to his convictions, independent in spirit, he stands the finest illustration of the two essentrials of manhood?inde? pendence and courage?of any citizen within the borders of the United States today." (Enthusiastic applause.)? Atlanta Journal. ? Let us have P's. Persons who patronize papers should pay, for the pecuniary prospects of the press have peculiar power in pushing forward public prosperity. If the printer is paid promptly and his pocket book kept plethoric by promptly paying pa? trons, he puts his pen to paper in peace, he paints his picture of passing events in more pleasing colors, and a perusal of his paper is a pleasure to the people.

Tom listened with great interest while his father read from a newspa? per an account of life among the Mor? mons. Seeing the boy's attention, his father said, "Would you like to live among the mormons, Tom ?" "What!" cried Tom, "and have to ask a dozen mothers every time I wanted to go in swimming ?

Jacoby, of Ouray, Col. "I underwent the awful experience once, but can hardly convey a hint of what I suffered, although it is vividly im? pressed on my mind. There are no words in English or Spanish to tell the story, and I know no other langu? ages. It was in Wyoming in 1883. With two companions, I was doing a little prospecting, and we had bad luck. One morning I made up my mind to try a range of hills about thirty miles away, across what seemed to be a well-verdured valley, and my chums refusing to go further on what had proven to be a wild goose chase, said good-bye and started back for Cheyenne. I started off and hadn't gone more than five miles when I came to desert land. There was not a stalk of vegetation in sight. The ground was covered with lava and scoria that had rotted under the suns of a thous? and centuries. I never imagined that the desert was more than a few miles across, and as there was a haze hang? ing over it I went straight ahead. I had only a small canteen, which held brandy instead of water. It was be? fore noon when I began my journey over that waste. Before night my horse had fallen, and I was suffering pangs of agony. I had no brandy left and everywhere was desolation as dry as chalk. I killed my horse and drank some of his blood. Then I threw my? self down and slept. No opium cater craving for his drug ever had such horrible dreams. They awoke me and I got up and staggered on in the dark? ness. All the demons of pain in the universe seemed to have settled them? selves right between my shoulder blades, and were holding a carnival. Ten thousand million red-hot needles, with rusted sides, were playing in and out through my tongue, and the top of my head fe.lt as if some giant had hold of it and was trying to pull it off. I couldn't cry out, because my tongue was numb and useless from the pain. When morning came I just beheld the outlines of a wagon in the distance. With a superhuman effort I gave a shriek and then I knew no more. Wheu I regained consciousness I was in a bunch of hay near a fire and two or three men were looking at me. I learned later on that my scream had been heard by a party of prospectors, who were skirting the desert in order to make a short cut to the Montana cattle trail, and that at first they thought it was some wild animal, but one of the party insisted on a search, as he had heard a man make just such a noise before he died of thirst in the Mojave desert. I was months before I recovered completely, and I haven't been more than a mile away from wa? ter, aud plenty of it, since."?Wash? ington Star. When to Avoid Candy. Sugar is one of the best of the fat producing foods, and for that reason is bad for a person, young or old, in whom there is a tendency to accumu? late too much fat. The converse of this is true?it is a valuable food for those, young or old, who are too thin. It is also valuable, because it is easily digested, to those who are weak, who suffer from a lack of animal heat, and who need building up. Not too much of it, though, because there are ele? ments needed in the body which sugar will not supply. Sugar is exceedingly satisfying to the appetite. I know a man who was an officer of cavalry dur? ing the civil was, and on one occasion during a raid he found an opportunity to fill his haversack and both saddle? bags with brown sugar. The men of his command did the same. It was four days before they were able to get a supply of rations, and during that time they lived on the sugar and were perfectly contented with the diet. This story points to one rule which may be safely laid down for all: Can? dy should not be eaten immediately before meals by either child or adults, because it will destroy the appetite for other food, and that other should be taken first, beause of the food ele? ment found in it and which is not found in candy. In other words, the supply of sugar should be adjusted to that of other foods Tn a natural and common-sense-way proportion.?Dr. Cyrus Edison, in Ladies' Home Jour? nal. ?

The gentlemen of the house of the new neighbor wasi a charming person, in the opinion of pretty Mi&s Kathe rinc Medley, who lived next door and saw him going out in the morning and coming home in the evening. He vtas elderly?that is, his hair and whiskers were white and he was such a fatherly old gentleman that she couldn't help but love him, even if hu had lived next door for only two months of that lovely June, when Harold Ashbrooke had become so much to her. Possibly she loved the old gentle? man because as he passed the house and saw Harold and her talking on the piazza he always smiled a cute little smile to himself, as if he knew the whole story and understood every word of it. But, of course, he did not, for she didn't even know him, and he had never presumed on his proximity as a neighbor to speak to her. One morning as she stood on the piazza steps humming a merry tune, for Harold had told her many things the evening before, as they sat in the shadows of the vines and she was very glad, the old gentleman came out of his house. He was very radiant over something, too, and there was that in his face which almost tempted her to speak to him, and tell him her joy. She thought she heard him whistle as he stepped on to the street, and she grew bold enough to come down to her own gate to get a good look at him. She stood there unconscious, as people always are who want to see people without having people think they are being gazed at, and she watched him furtively, though she was looking straight across the street. When he reached her he stopped. Then she looked around really star? tled, for this seemed almost a flirta? tion, and only last night Harold had told her so much. He took off his hat, bowing grace? fully, and spoke with a smile that made her smile in spite of herself. "I beg your pardon," he said; "is this Miss Dear ?" "No," she said, "I am-" "Miss B%rling ?" he interrupted politely. t "No; I-" and her face looked like a puzzle. "Miss Love ?" he interrupted again. Now she began to grow angry, and her face reddened. Yet she could not comprehend his actions. "I am Miss Medley," she said, haughtily. "Oh, I beg your pardon," he ex? claimed, with that same funny little smile she had often noted; "but I thought differently. As I came home last night I heard the young man talking to you on the porch, and he called you Katie Dear, and Katie Darling, and Katie Love to such an extent that I really wanted to know your name, and-" But he did not finish the sentence. She had fled into the house, and it was a week or more before she recovered. The Yalna of Minutes. A party of ladies and gentlemen were lately visiting a large carpet manufactory, and the manager took them over the different floors of the establishment. On ascending one of the stair cases they came to a lock? ed door, on which the following inscription was painted in white let? ters : "Strangers not admitted under any circumstauces." The curiosity of the ladies was ex? cited to a high pitch and they inquir? ed, almost in one breath, "Whatever is to be seen inside ?" "That is one of our work rooms in which 150 women are employed em? broidering carpets," answered the manager. "Oh ! how we should just like to have a peep at them !" exclaimed the ladies. "I am sorry I cannot comply with your wish," said the gentleman with a shrug of his shoulders, "but the rules do not admit of the slightest ex? ceptio*. Truth to say, there is noth? ing to be seen, nor is there any ques? tion of trade secrets. The reason why admission is forbidden to strangers is simply because every woman natural? ly looks up, and her attention is dis? tracted from her work from one to five minutes, supposing, now, each woman wastes a couple 01 minutes in this way, that will make in the case of 150 women, a loss to the firm of 300 min? utes, or five hours, and we cannot al? low that." The Last Rpsort He was plunged into the vortex of perplexity, and the girl was standing resolutely upon the brink, gazing down at him. He looked up at her helplessly. "And you object to my calling so frequently?" he said. "Yes," she nodded. "And I am not to be your escort on all occasions, as heretofore?" "No." "Nor call you by your first name?" "No." "Nor think of you any longer as my sweetheart?" "No." He gazed upon her, as one standing upon the shore gazes upon a receding ship. "Well," he groaned; "the end of our romance has come, and we must get married." The light that shown in her face gleamed in triumph. ?
