SEVERE TREATMENT TO WHICH
SOLDlERS WERE SUBJECTED.
“Trotting the Bull Ring” Abolished Af-
ter Causing the Death of One Man—An-
other Sum-red Tortures from Being
Buried to His Neck in Sand.
The soldier who worked himself into
the guardhouse prior to 1879 did not
get every night in, nor any night in,
from the day he began his term until
its end. He walked his post, two
hours on and four hours off, from the
beginning to the termination of his
sentence.
But he did not carry a; gun
While on post. He shouldered an un-
~barked log, from six to eight feet in
length and weighing from 70 to 100
- pounds, and the man in his rear car-
ried the rifle. The business of the sol-
dier with the rifle was to see that the
soldier with the log kept on the move,
up and down in front of the guard
house, from the time he went on post
i’ until relieved, at the end of two hours,
by another guard-house prisoner, to
whose shoulder the log would be trans-
ferred. It was also the sentry’ s duty
to see that the “log-humper" did not
drop his burden. The prisoner could
shift it from one shoulder to the oth-
er, or carry it under his arm, or hori-
zontally in front of him, or any other
way he chose; but he had to carry it,
and he had to keep moving, on pain of
being indented with the point of a. bay-
(met.
The soldier who nowadays lands in
the guardhouse for drunkenness, in-
subordination, neglect of duty, or any
other violation of regulations is put to
work at some job around the post
from fatigue call in the morning
until recall from fatigue late in
the afternoon. The work is nev-
er hard. ’It is mostly of the pot-
tering around sort—policing around
the quarters, sweeping brick walks,
washing windows, trimming hedges,
mowing grass, or something of that
sort. The only discomfort connected
with the work is that it is always per-
formed under the watchful eye of a
sentry with a loaded gun.
One of the punishments meted out to
the cavalryman who got into the
guardhouse under the old regime was
“trotting the bull ring.” The bull ring
is the circular track upon which the
horses are exercised when there is not
much doing around the post in the way
of drills on account of inclement weath—
er. Every cavalry post has its bull
ring. Upon the smooth surface of the
bull ring the fractious cavalryman of
a. couple of decades ago was required
to chase the intangible air at regular
intervals, named in the sentence, every
day of his confinement. His bull ring
work was no go-as-you-please walking
match, either. He could go at any
pace swifter than a walk; but he- was
not allowed to walk. Heel—and-toe
business was barred. If for a single
instant, he relapsed into a. cemmon,
everyday walk he would hear the sen-
try’ 5 command, like the crack of a.
circus ringmaster’s whip; “Sh-akeher
up, there, Pete; what do you "think
this is, a practice march? G’lang!”
and if the bull-ring pounder knew his
gait he would leave off Walking right
away. The bull-ring work was good
for wind and muscle, but it was hard
and gelling. A soldier undergoing a
bull-ring sentence dropped dead from
heart disease at a post in the South-
west one day, about seventeen years
ago, and then, the bull-ring punishment
was abandoned.’
It was reserved for the commanding
officer ‘of an Arizona post, a one- '
pany outfit, to inflict so barbarous
punishment upon an offending Soldier
that the whole scale of punishments in
the United States Army was revised
and made hard and, fast. This com-
manding officer was a captain, and the
afiair happened in 1879. He had in his
comp-any a soldier who was a. very
hard case, and put in most of his time
in the guardhouse. He completed a.
guardhouse term in the autumn of
1879, and immediately repaired to the
near-by town of whiskey shacks and
made himself exceedingly drunk. He
returned to the post with the announc-
ed intention of raising it to the level
of the desert and firing a volley over
its ashes. The Captain had him 1111s-
soed as he was entering the post. The
Captain then constituted himself
a summary court-martial and passed
upon the case. He ordered that a hole
sufficiently large to receive the upright
body of a man be dug in the
sand of the parade ground. When
the hole was dug the ‘ Captain
ordered that the hard case isol-
dler he stood in it up to his neck and
that the sand be then repacked-‘about
him as tightly as possible, covering his
arms and shoulders, and leaving only
his head protruding above the ground.
The Captain’s orders were obeyed,
but it afterward came out that the Cap-
tain’s life hung by a. thread, so bitter
was the animosity inspired among. the
men on account, of this cruel action.
The offending soldier, still more than
half drunk, was packed in the sand-
hole, his head alonecatching the rays
of the blazing semictropical sun, and
a sentry was placed over him. The
sun was nothing compared to the dos-
ert. ants._ The desert ants sent out
their couriers to the highways and by-
ways and dunes and hollows, and .it
was no time at all before some thous-
ands of them, big, red, spiderlike and
ferocious, were running over the sol-
dier’s head. They crawled into his
ears and his nose and his mouth, and
they caused him such unspeakable ag-
ony that he shouted in his frenzy. The
sentry—who happened to be the poor
devil's bunkie—first disobeyed guard
regulations to the extent of s-tooping to
brush tbe'ants front his co'mradogs face.
Next he dlsobeyed ordersto the extent ,
:.: 1.115.111.1511 Walldng ~11... 'to the”
. mse of the Captain. He took his rifle
...cng with him.
‘Whry; do you mean by leaving your
test?” demanded the Captain, appear-
ing at the door of his quarters.
“Because I don’t stand for this kind
of a game for you or any other man
from here to hell and back,” refined
the sentry. The whole company,
seeming to spring from the ground.
was.,right behind hints “And if you
don’t order that man turned loose in
' wo seconds, I’ll turn’him loose inY-
self. ” .
The Captain turned to one of his
se1geants. ~
“Arrest that sentry, and take his gun
and belt from him,” he said.
“I’ll shoot any man dead that lays a
hand on me,” said the sentry quietly;
but it was not necessary for him to
say it, for the sergeant stood stock still
with his hands behind his back, and
cveiy man’s face was black. All were
vith the sentry.
The sentry strode across the parade
ground and found his prisoner insen-
slble. The ants had already made his
face look like a beefsteak. With his
fixed bayonet the sentry dug the un-
conscious man from the sand, and car-
ried him in his arms to the post hos-
pital and dropped him at the feet of
the post surgeon. Then he walked to
the comm ding ofi‘icer’ s quarters,
handed the oinmanding officer his gun
and belt, walked out of the post, and
has never been seen or heard of in the
United States Army from that. day to
this.
When the War Department got wind
of this 1112 tter the Captain was court
martialled, suspended for a year and
scorched by the Secretary of War. That
was the extent of his punishment. But
:here was some tall revising of punish-
ment regulations, and a penalty was
fixed for every possible infraction of
discipline on the part of an enlisted
man. The infliction of cruel and unu-
1ual punishments was forbidden with
a. degree of strictness ‘ which it‘ was
thought would preclude the posSibility
of anything ever happening inthe ser-
vice like this ant-hill attain—New

OIL CRAZE lN INDIANA.
Pathetic Story of an Old Manje Gratitude
, for Unexpected Riches.
Indiana now has the oil fever al-
most as bad as Pennsylvania had it
more than a score of years ago.
the town of Peru two unsuccessful
efforts were made, but finally a. little
syndicate was formed to try again.
Up to the tenth day after the drill
was started, no one paid any particun
lar attention to the work, unless it was
an employs in the railroad shops who
would stop while passing to and from
his work to inquire how deep the hole
was or chat a few minutes with the
workmen. But before the sun set'on
the eleventh day every man, woman
and child of the 8,000 residents knew
that oil had shown up in the pipe,
and on the following day, when the
black, ill-smelling stuff began to flow
over the top of the casing, the ex-
citement beCame wildly, uproariously
intense.
Many small fortunes have already
been made and others will be realized
by persons who less than a year ago
were scarcely in comfortable circum-
stances.
these is Charles Artie, an old colored
man. He had grown old and become
infirm in the' performance of odd jobs
of labor for his neighbors. He owned
part. of a. lot which was drilled and
when a well was sunk it proved to be
the best one in the district. For the
first few days it produced 600 barrels
a. day, and soon settled down to 480,
which it has discharged every day for
a month or more.
The old man gets one-sixth for his
share, and when he was notified to go
to the bank at the end of the first
week for his money he waited until
near the closing hour
all the way back to his cabin with un-
covered head. —Philadelphia Press.
COMPRESSED FLOUR.
It is Molded Into Bl icks for Preservation
and Storage.
The importance of lightness and
compactness. in- the kit of soldiers has
stimulated the manufacturers of army
foodstuffs 'to produce all manner of
concentrated products for use on the
march or in camp. Of these the latest
is compressed flour, which is now be-
ing tested by the British War De-
partment. The objection to the es-
tablishment of national granaries is
the impossibility of storing wheat for
any length of time. The grain soon
germinates and is ruined. The flour
is now molded into bricks by hydrau-
lic pressure, in which shape it is un-
affected by damp, is mold-proof and
sweet and wholesome.
The compression is said to destioy
all forms of larval life, and the flour
becomes immune against the attacks
of insects. Since the cubic space occu-
pied by 100 pounds of loose flour will
hold more than 300 pounds of the
compressed flour, it will be seen that
the saving in storage is enormous.—

A Trolley Collect-ion Box.
Chicago is said to have started what
is known as the trolley church collec-
tion boxes. A wire is stretched from
pew to pew, upon which little car-
riages are strung. This contrivance is
operatedby electricity, and the minis-
ter by merely touching a button lo-
cated in front of him on the top of the
pulpit releases these little cars sim-
ultaneously all over the church. The
great advantage claimed for the trol-
ley collection boxes is that it keeps
, the amount of each contribution a
secret from those sitting in the vicin-
ity. We hardly think this will prove
an advantage in fashionable churches,
for without the possibility of one’s
neighbor seeing the amount of a dona-
tion, the total collection would prob—
ably be co'nsiderably smaller than usu-
al.—Electricity. .

THE MAR" EILLA'lSE‘ HY“. N.
Bow'nn Audience of 6.000 French Rudi-
cals were Affected by It. ~
Nothing of the kind in this world
can be more impressive than the way
in which an audienceof 6,000 French-
radicals receives that-wonderful air
(the Marseillaise), says Colonel T. W.
Higginson in the Atlantic Monthly. I
observed that the chorus of young men
who led the singing never once looked
at the notes, and few 'even had any, so-
familiar was it all. There was a per:
feet hush in that vast audience while‘
the softer parts were sung; and no one:
joined even in the chorus-at first, for
everybody was listening. The instant,
however, that the strain closed, the ape
plaus‘e broke like a tropical storm, and.
the clapping of hands was like the
taking flight of a thousand doves all
over the vast arena. Behind those-
twinkling hands the light dresses of
the ladies and the blues. blouses of
themselves to
shimmer in the air; there was no
coarse noise of pounding on the floor
or' drumming on the seats, but there
was a vast cry of “Bis! Bisl'f’ sent up
from the whole multitude, demanding
a repetition. The moment the first
verse was sung through for the sec-
ond time several thousand voices join—
t-hen the applause
was redou-bled as if they had gathered
new sympathy from one another, after
which there was still one more great
applauding gust, and then an absolute
quiet.
Summoning Help by Cutting \Vi'res.
The person who wrote that electric-
ity was, one.of the “mighty agents of
nature enchained by the ingenuity of
man” can scarcely have contemplated
'in his wildest dreams the full extent of
that ingenuity, says the Electrical Re-
view. For instance, he is scarcely
likely to have prophesied that a. sick
man, far fromthe habitations of civi-
lization, would have cut a telegraph
wire in order to obtain assistance. And
yet such has really occurred, accord-
ing to a. London contemporary. The
whole of the vast continent of Austra-
lia was practically cut off from Euro-
pean news for nearly twenty-four hours.
in the middle of September in conse-
quence of an interruptionon the line
between Adelaide and Port Darwin. In-
quiries were made, and it was learned.
that thewire had been cut by a. cyclist
who was taken ill while on a journey
across the continent. It is not related
how he set about it, but he had the sat-1
isfaction, at any rate, of getting what
he wanted. It is not desired to estab-
lish this as a precedent of summoning
help under inconvenient circumstan-
ce-s.
A Race of Men Turned to Stone.
Curious human forms, outlined in
sandstone, were found very recently in
a. Minnesota quarry: With them, were
a number of crude copper ”cooking
utensils, and all evidences point to the
discovery of some ancient race, ante-
cedents of the Indians, inhabitants of
the continent when the world was
young. -
The bodies have turned to stone. Not
petrified, in the gene, :11 sense of the
word, but form a component part of
the rock. They cannot be separated
from the‘rock that surrounds them
without destroying their identity. They
are simply outlines.
Four such bodies were found, each
one stretched at full length, with the
hands crossed on the breast. Except in
a general way features could not be
distinguished. It could be seen, how-
ever, that the heads were well formed
and cheek bones high.’ The shoulders
were very square, and of great breadth.
In length the forms varied from four to
seven feet.—New York Journal.
The Queen Kept Her Word.
A picturesque story is that which
comes from Biarritz, and concerns it-
self with the Queen of Servia. and her
jewels. It seems thatwhile staying at
Biarritz the Queen one day missed a
valuable portion of her jewels. A few
days later an advertisement appeared
in the local papers to the effect that if
the jewelry were returned to the Queen
she would present it to the poor of Bi-
arritz.
Two days afterward she received her
lost or stolen diamonds by post, ac-
companied by a sheet of coarse paper,
on which was scrawled in printed char-
acters, “I shall be curious to see if a
Queen can keep her word.’f The
Queen did keep her word, and present‘
ed the restored trinkets to the Sisters
of Charity, who immediately organized
a lottery, which was eagerly subscrib-
ed to by the visitors and residents '01
Biarritz, and the treasure was won by
a poor little seamstress.

1900 will be a. palace constructed en-
tirely of glass, over which will fall
cascades of water from hundreds of
jets. The building will rival the fa-
mous Crystal Palace‘ of London,“ and
will cover an area of 6.000 square
yams: '
It will be shaped somewhat like the
minaret-topped structures of ~0rieutal
cities. On each corner of the structure
there will be crystal towers and in the
middle 3. minaret of most elaborate de—
sign. Lines of pipes will be run
wherever possible without interfering
with the beauty of the building. Foun-
tains and'jets- of water will be placed
at every point of the. building so that
it will be literally covered with grace-
ful showers of spray.——New York

He Us'eda Four-Timed Fork. '
An old Washington lady used to
tell with delight of an occasion on
which she went, with a kinswoman, to
dine with Mr. and Mrs. John Quincy
Adams.
Adams’s place lay a. four-tined silver
fork. The other'persons at table had
merely the two—pronged fork then in
use. Mrs. Adams apologized for her
husband’s little eccentricity, saying
that in his long sojourn in France he
had acquired the habit of eating with
his. fork—a habit of which he had been
unable to break himself. “And, my
dear,” the old lady used to say, with a.
twinkle in her eye, “the elegant Mrs.
Adams and the rest of us ate withaa
knife.”
