THE ARRO‘W AND THE- SONG.
(Longfellow in the Light of Realism.)
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth and I knew not where,
But it struck a big boy on the head
And he thumped me until I thought I vial
dead.
I breathed a song into the air;
It fell to earth and I knew not where,
But the cat-calls told it had fallen flat,
Andfmy stage career flunked out on that,
And then I guessed where it was at.
,_ Long, long afterward under air-oak,
I sat and thus to myself I spoke:—
Experience' is the best of schools
But those that go there are mostly fools.

ONE LESSON OF THE SEA FIGHT.
The Importance of Naval Dock Yards.
Idea From Germany.
One valuable lesson which officials of
the Navy Department think has been
taught by the great naval engagement
between the Japanese and Chinese fleet at
the mouth of the Yalu River is the abso-
lute necessity of maintaining the navy
yards, repair shops, and storerooms in
readiness for instant service. According
to the cable reports, both of the fleets en- -
gaged at Yalu sustained great damage.
.True, the Chinese lost many vessels en-
tirely, but they still had a formidable
force afloat, while scarcely a vessel of the
Japanese fleet escaped without serious
damage, mainly from the murderous fire
of themachine guns. At the conclusion
of the fight each side withdrew to their
nearest respective dock yards for re-
pairs.
Upon the efficient equipment and man-
agement of these dockyards very much
depends in just such a case as the present.
Each fleet is well-nigh disabled fer further
operations. If the Chinese yards, which
are notoriously ill-equipped and misman-
aged, are unable to complete the re-
pair of their fleet for six weeks, which is
about the time allowed here by naval ex-
perts, while the Japanese put their ves-
sels in shape for service in two weeks as
they count on doing, they will be masters
of the Yellow Sea, and can inflict enor-
mous damage on China, landing troops
from transports at the very door of Pekin,
the Chinese capital, and ravaging the
coast. All of which démOnstrates the
great value of a good dockyard svstem. -,-

GENERAL MILES
’ ‘HE WILL SUOOEED GENERAL SCHO-
FIELD IN COMMAND OF THE ARMY. .
A Great Indian Fighter “"110 Tamed Sit-
ting Bull, Chief Joseph and Geromino.
His Persistence Conquered the War De-
partment. What a‘Soldier Says of Him.
In September, 1895, Gen. Schofield, af-
ter forty years of service in the army of
the United States, will reach the age of
sixty-four years and will retire from act-
ive duty. His successor will be General,
Miles, the famous Indian fighter. ,'
General Nelson A. Miles, was born 'in
Massachusetts in 1830, and after receiving
an ordinary education, he took a position
in a Boston store. Then the war broke
out, he enlisted as lieutenant in the
Twenty-second Massachusetts regiment,
and be distinguished himself by bravery
in many battles. He was wounded at
Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill, and again
at Chancellorsville, the wound there be-
ing, it was feared, fatal. He speedily re-
covered, however, and in the battles be-
fore Richmond, he commanded a. bri-
gade.
His record in the war of the Rebel-
lion was so good that when it was over he
was a Brevet Major—General, and In Oct-
Ober, 1865, he received the full commis-
Sion.
on his skill and bravery as .an Indian
fighter. He has been the most successful
commander ever sent against the hostile
red men, . and they have come to so fear
him that the announcement that General
Miles was after them was enough to
make the bravest band run or surren-
der. '
In 1870 he went after the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes, and when he got through
with them they had had enough fighting
to last them a great many years. In fact,
the memory of the thrashing he gave
them is yet a wholesome and restraining
influence. '
After the Custer massacre, General
Miles wasleft by Gene. Crook and Terry >
to watch Sitting Bull, but, instead of
watching him, he went after the bloody
chief, and although the snow was two
feet deep, he crushed the wily savage.
For this campaign in the snow the Sioux
called him “Bear Coat. ” '
His next achievement w as the capture
of Chief Joseph of the N ez Perces, after a
pursuit of about 4.000'miles. His most
important and difficult task was the con-
quering» of Geromino, and his band of
GEN. NELSON. A. MILES.
Apaches. Hidden in the Bad Lands, they
defied the troops, but General Miles went
after them, and he didn’t give up until
they were captured and subdued. Acrose
rocky barrens, under a burning sun, Gen.
Miles led his troops, the men clad only in
light underclothes, until the long chase
ended in‘ success. In his Indian cam-
paigns he seemed to know no such word
as fail, and the Indians came to expect
defeat whenever General Miles was on
their track.
Another incident will serve to show his
persisteucy, in a matter outside of fight-
ing. The Cheyennes had murdered a set-
tler. and carried off two little girls. Gen.
Miles rescued the girls and then wrote to
the \Var Department asking that enough
money be appop‘riated from the annui-
ties of the Cheyennes to educate them.
No action was taken on his request, and
he wrote again with similar result. He
kept writing, and said he should not quit
until he got the money, and he didn’t.
And the girls were educated.
A soldier said when the General was
sent East, “The boys Out West will be
sorry. We knew when old ‘Bear Coat’.
was leading something had to give way.
Just say his name to a red devil, and he’ll
be as good as a Sunday-school meeting in
a. minute. He never asked us to go any-
where he wouldn’t go himself, and we’d
follow him through hell. \Ve did pretty
near, I’m thinking, when we were after
old Geronimo.”
The stories told of his Indian campaigns
are legion, and they show that in courage,
in sound common sense, and in the qual-
ity which inspires confidence in the men
he leads, General Miles has had few
equals among the nation’ s military
leaders ~
Lord Clivebrooke on Marriage.
The hero of “The Bauble Shop” has a.
breezy conversation on marriage with
Lady Fennel], who remarks:
"Now, you wretch, how is it you aren’t
married?”
“I can’t find the right-woman for a.
wife.”
“What sort of a wife do you want?”
“I don’ t know the sort of wife I want,
but I know the sort of wife I don’t
want.”
"Well, what sort don’ is you want?”
“The sort of wife all my friends have
married.” ‘ ‘
“You don’t like your friends’ wives. 9”
“Oh, yes, they’ll do very well—for my
friends, and I don’t mind them for an
hour or two at dinner—if the dinner’ 8 a
good one.”
“How is it that people marry those
whom they’d never think of asking to
dinner?” .
“A dinner engagement is a. serious
thing.” ,
“More serious than marriage?”
“Most people would think twice be-
fore breaking a dinne1 engagement.
Sure there is as much of banter and es-
pieglerie in all this as there' 18 of cynicism.
Clivebrooke says these things because
they amuse him and others, not because
he believes in them.

No doubt that, .stripped of its impene-

gaze of the curious, fully explained 'to
those in search of information, magic
, 5 would not be suflimentl y interesting to en-

history of man began, and it is the mys—
tery that will protect it While it continues
to interest and entertain mOdern audi-
ences, as it did when magic was the form.
of religion and magicians were the favor-
ed, petted priests of the ancients.
The cane trick. One of the Hindoo
fakir’s performance .most frequently de-
scribed, and considered the most marvel—
'lous, is the turning of a walking stick
.into a serpent. In the Scriptures the
turning of ' the reds into serpents is al-
luded to, .but not explained. Modern
writers tell of Hindoo jugglers who will
walk into the centre of a circle of specta-
tors. take a walking stick frOm the hand
of seine one in the audience, cast it upon
the ground, when it will at once begin to
squirm, and finally change into the dr ead-
ed cobra di capello of Asia.
Now the performer is, described as being .
without apparatus, confederates, scenery
or wardrobe, as giving his entertain-
ments on the bare ground, and as doing
it in such a manner as to defy detection.
Described' In this way, the performance 15
truly wonderful but let me describe
it.
The circle of spectators is formed, and
the performer enters the ring, clad in the
ordinary I-Iindoo street dress, which af-
fords magnificent Opportunities forrcon-
cealing anything he may require _, in his
entertainment. IVhen' ready to change
some one’s walking stick into a serpenthe
approaches the holder of the cane, takes
it, from him, seizes it at each end, raises
it‘slowly above his head then draws it
gradually through his hands and slips
off his; mantle—being nothing more or
less than a common sheet—puts the cane
beneath the sheet, then grasps it at each
:end and lays iton .the ground, carefully
covered with the mantle.
N ow, when the performer put the cane
underneath his cloak he brought one end
of it to his waist, Where he grasped the
end of the cane and the, head of the cobra
—which was concealed in the commem-
bund, or'sash around his waist—rdrew the
snake and the cane together frOm beneath
the cloth out to thefull length, and laid
them on the ground, where to all appear-
ances, there was nothing but the cane be-
Death the cloth, but wh°re in reality
there were the walking cane and the
cobra, lying side by side. In a few min-
utes the cobra, realizing that he is free,
begins to move about. It is then that
the cane and cloth are Iemoved. and it is
thus that. the walking stick is 13m ned' 111-
to a serpent.
So marvellous was the announcement
that a peifo rmer would allow himself to
be fired at with powder and ball that the
French government employed Robert
Houdan to go to N 01th Africa and con- -
Vince the Arabic chiefs that the French-
man was a. very superior individual. His
mission was to strike terror into the
hearts of the Arabs by showing them
that a Frenchman ~might at will render
himself bullet prob f, and it is recorded
that Robert Houdan took a pair of duel-
ling. pistols and loaded them with pow-
der furnished by the Arab chiefs, and
with leadcn bullets marked by them he
received the fire of these pistols without
sustaining the slightest injury.
After bullets previously marked had
been loaded into piStols furnished by the
Arabian chief and well rammed home the
chief, fired point blank the length of a
diniug room table at the magician. He
smilingly caught it between his teeth and
returned it to the "Arab to the astonish-
ment of all present. ' Then Houdan pick-
ed up the remaining pistol on the table,
and with the remark, “Your aim is not
as deadly as mine,”-:-he fired against the
white wall of the room and caused a. spot
of blood to appear exactly where the bul-
let struck.
This feat was performed in this man-
ner: —-
The pistols were Of large calibre, and
Houdan had prepared himself for the
trick by running melted wax into the bul-
let mould, allowing it to remain long
enough to partly cool, the mould was in-
verted and the hot- *wax was allowed to
run out, leaving a thin shell the shape
and size of an ordinaly pistol bullet. The
hole where the hot wax escaped was seal-
ed up and the whole bullet thus created
was blackened with lamp black, so that
it resembled a regular leaden bullet.
Then the performer . took another whole
wax bullet with a little thicker shell-than
the fir st one and filled it with bullock’s
blood, which was sealed in and the bul-
let discolor ed. ~
On the night of a perfonnance, which
was at the close of a dinner, he took the
two leaden bullets ,handed him byzthe
chief, examined the pistols, saw that they
were empty,_ and in their presence put in
two charges of powder; then he caused
the bullets to be marked and returned to
him. He dexterously palmed the leaden
bullets and substituted those made of
wax, the one that was to be fired at him
was dropped into the barrel of the pistol
and the wad over it was rammed down
sufficiently hard to reduce the wax to
powder, which was 113.1 mless the length
of the long dining room table. He then
took the one containing the blood and
fired it at the white wall, he having been
careful not to break it by ramming it too
hard, The effect on the Arabs was inde-
scribable, and there is no doubt that Hou-
dan’s trip to the North of Africa resulted
as he intended,~ for the benefit of the
French government.
I remember once but a few years ago,
entertaining some friends in Cincinnati
with some interesting palming and
changing performances.
A young man came 11p and asked me if
I could transform a silver half dollar into
a ten dollar gold piece.
course Iassured him that I could do so. I
took his half .doliar, presto change, and
it Was a' ten dollar gold pice. It was
shown to the spectators, pronounced gen-
uine, when the innocent young man took
it and slipped it into his pocket, and say-
ing, “thank you, ” walked out of the
room,
I- had entertained my friends, I had com-
plied with his request, but it cost mmjust
nine dollars and a half to do it. - is .1
