ADVANTAGES OF A SOLDIER'S LIFE
—..——
Not Particularly Gay, Perhaps, but. Profit.
able in More \Vays Than One.
——.v\‘
“It would be a good thing,” said ar.
army officer, “if parents more generally
knew that their sons might go further
and fare much worse than in the Unit-
ed States Army. Could they know fully
as we know the benefits of the service
to young men, rthey would approve 01
their sons enlisting rather than object
to it. -
“The general opinion that people have
of, life in the army is erroneous in the
extreme. The army is not a rougt
place, nor is the service, except on the
far frontier and in the winter, a rougl.
sepvice. Young men, even those whc
have acquired vicious habits in civil
life, come out of the army after five
years of service better men, unless they
are utterly incorrigible and bent on a
life of evil. ,The service and 'the disci-
pline develop all the good qualities of
the man. He knows that disobedience
of orders or violation of any of the un-
written laws which should govern soci-
ety meets with prompt and merited
punishment, and that makes him sup-
press and govern what may be vicious
in him. This disipine gives him a
manly courage, an assurance he might
"not otherwise possess, a better respect
for law and order; and he learns tc
obey without questioning, which is, un-
fortunately, something young men dc
not learn in civil life.
“There is another thing to be consid-
ered about service in the army, and
that is the habits of economy, and pru-
-——-.—r ~——.———
True, the pay is not large—$13 a month.
but in addition to this the men have a
home, ‘food, abundant clothing, medical
attendance, and in fact everything nec-
essary to a comfortable existence. They
do not have the luxuries, to be sure,
but such as they may require or de-
sire, for that matter, are obtainable
from the Commissary or Quartermaster
at just what those things cost the Gov-
ernment to purchase at wholesale. The
men are paid once in two months, and,
if they are provident and not extrava-
gant, the greater part of their wage:
may be saved, and if the-soldier so de-
sires, the money can be deposited with
the Government. When the," amount oi
these deposits reaches 350, interest at
mulate. This money, once deposited,
cannot be touched until the soldier's
time is out, and he gets his discharge.
when he hands in his depost book and
receives the amount due him.
“During the third year of service the
Government allows the soldier $1 a
month extra; during the fourth year 32,
and during the fifth year $3. This ac-
cumulation, $72, is paid the soldier when
he receives his discharge. He may also
save durng his five-year term as much
as $200 on the single item of clothing if
he is careful of his uniforms. All of
these methods of saving allow him to
accumulate a snug little capital to start
him in life with when he leaves the
army, if he cares to leave. Moreover,
wherever he may be at the time of his
discharge he receives his transportation
to the place of his enlistment at the
rate of a day’s pay for every twenty
miles of distance, and an additional al-
lowance of 30 cents a day for rations.
Thus, should he happen to be in Mon«
tana at the time of his discharge, and
be entitled to transportation to New
York, he would receive $150, or $75 more
than the actual cost of the transporta-
tion, or an entire profit of $160 if he
chose to remain in Montaina. Very
many soldiers who have served their
time on the frontier have settled down
there and become, prosperous and influ-
ential citizens, and the frontier thas
many prosperous farmers :to-day who
became such from the savings of a. term
of army service, that enabled them to
take up claims and make happy "homes.
“There are a great many good phases
to army life if people only knew it. In
all the Western posts there are regular-
ly established libraries and - reading
rooms, containing the dial}; papers and
the best curretn lterature. Then there
are schools {under the supervision of
regularly appointed Government teach-
ers, where the best kind of common and
pracuch educatiofi is given without ex-
pense. a solder desires to pursue
his studies further officers are willing to
assist him. Besides that he has plenty
of leisure time to educate himself. The
drll and guard duty is not severe, and,
taken all in all, the work required is
much less confining and onerous than
that in many of the pursuits the soldier
would follow in civil lfe. And the ser-
vce is healthful, and there is very little
—I might almost say no~opportunity to
cultivate or contract the vices so rapid-
ly acquired in our cties and towns.
“The opportunties to a. soldier, also,
for making money are many, especially
if he have a good trade. Tailors, shoe--
makers, carpenters, bllacksmiths, mas-
ons, bakers, tinsmiths, harnessmakers,
and sometimes painters, bricklayers,
telegraph operators, and other skilled
workmen pick up considerable sums of
money in the course of. the year by do-
ing odd jobs for the officers and soldiers
of the post where they are stationed.
I honestly believe that such men dc
better in a financial way in the army
when these extras and their regular pay
are added together, than they would (1!

iNVEN TOR OF LEAD PIPE. " l
First. Suggested" by Robert. Seydell oi
l‘euusyivanla-m 1830. ' '
., There was born in Milton, P8... in 1890
a man of wonderful genius, it is said.
His name was 'Robert Seydell and he
died in 1847.
Mi. Seydeil was a coppersmith and
was almost continuously working out
some device connected with the ma-
chinery in his factory. To him, it is
related by some of the oldest citizens
of this place, belongs the discovery of
the process of making lead pipe. and
like many other inventors, the idea of
making the same was stolen from “it:
and further developed to its present
form of manufacture.
It was in the latter part of the thir-
ties that the idea suggested itself to
him, and the following is the way he
wrought it out: He first took a slug
or casting of lead,. placing it on a man—
drel, or rod of steel, about sixteen feet
long and one inch in diameter; the
mandrel was highly polished, and upon
this he drew, or rolled out, the lead to
the full length of the rod, thus giving
him an inch bore, and the material was
rolled, it'is said, to- one-fourth inch,
making a total diameter one and one-
half inches for the pipe. After com-
pleting several rese'cti‘ons'of the length
of the mandrel, he soldered them to-
gether, making the pipe of whatever
length he desired.
He put it to practical use by fasten-
ing it to pump heads, and also run-
ning it from springs to connect water-
ing troughs and spring houses in the
country round about here. Being
greatly pleased with his discovery,
and receiving .the most flattering of
:omments from his friends and neigh-
bors in this section, he concluded to
nake his invention more widely known.
and’hence made a visit to Philadelphia,
taking his device with him.
At the Franklin Institute in that city
he gave his first exhibition to quite
a. number of inventors, artisans and
mechanics. As it is now related, every
one who witnessed it was more than
delighted, and so expressed them-
selves in his immediate presence. It
was not long that he was allowed to
"emaln in a condition of supreme hap-
piness over his invention-,for a short
time after he made a disclosure of his
discovery, and while yet in- Philadel-
>hla, he found out that by-the persons
:0 whom belied given an exhibition of
he process of making lead pipe his idea
sad been used and improved upon.
SHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE.
the m... me... Christ Laid No Lon...“
Rough- Hewn Cave.
It has been bullt'over and lined with
marble and hung with lamps, etc., till
it is nolonger a. rough-hewn cave; but. _
tin-entering ‘it ‘ (a. task of considerable
difficulty through the narrow, low arch
roughly hewn out in the rock) and‘on
seeing~the rocky slab' on which-lay the‘
body of our Lord, you feel it is the
true site, for it ’conveys the impression,
that it is just the sort of a. cave that
would be used for sepulchre purposes
and these alone, and not' ashrlne built
to'accommodatethe thousands of pil-
grims whorflock there annually. With-
in it the ‘slab of rough-haven rock lies
altar-wise against the side of the
cave, and is about the width and
length that Would be filled by a. dead
body; the top of it is now-covered with
a. marble slab to protect it from the
kisses of the pilgrims, which would
long ere this have warn away the
stone. There is just room in front of
this slab for about four persons to-
kneel; all the sides of the- caves are
hung with lights, jeweled icons, and
pictures. 1 » ‘
To- attempt to describe'the feelings
evoked- in the Christian soul when
adoring at such a‘spot'would be be-
yond human pen. 'The Russian pli-
grims have a touching habit of bring-
lng their bundle of grave clothes and
laying them on this holy slalb in
order to bless them for - their future
use. Of course there is always a Greek
acclesiastic present within the holy
shrine, to watch over it.- - Just outside
the cave is a small alabaster ornament
marking the traditional spot where the
angels stood as they announced “He
is not here, but He is risen."—Pa.ll

Teeth as Big as Your Hand.
"Whoever has looked inside an ele-
phant‘s mouth has seen a: strange
sight,” said an elephant trainer of P.
W. “Elephants have no front teeth,
and they never eat flesh or any food
that requires tearing apart. . Eight
teeth are all they have,~two above and
below on each side, huge'yeilow molars
as wide as a man’s hand and acouple
of inches thick. - ., ..
"Over these hay or fodder is shifted
by the queerest, ugliest tongue in the
whole animal kingdom, a tongue that
is literally hungtat both ends, having
no power of movement except in the
middle, where it shifts back and forth
from side toslde, arching up against
the roof of the big mouth like an im-
mense wrinkled pink serpent. There
is nothing stranger than the working
of an elephant’s tongue, unless it be
the working of his'breathing apparatus
when he sleeps.
“Elephants, like human beings, have
two sets of teeth'—-—the milk teeth,
which are smaller than the permanent
molars, fall out when the animals are
about fourteen years old. These baby
teeth, which are nevertheless enor-
mous, are occasionally picked up by
circus men among the fodder'and pre-
served ashuitio’sities."

Captain G. E. Diamond, of San Fran—

“Olive oil’s 'the best thing in the

«ARVARD'S DELAYED oiSPATCHEs;

Says Capt. Cotton Used the Easy
lish Cable to‘ Washington,
e Fort ' de France. Martinique, May
17,—The manager-here of the French
Cable Company explicitly denies the
statement that a dispatch filed by
Capt. Cotton, of the United States aux-
iliary cruiser Harvard, was delayed
twenty-four hours at St. - Pierre, this
island. The manager explains the mat-
ter as follows:
“Capt. Cotton presented himself at
the office of the company at St. Pierre
and asked by what cable line cable
_, messages were transmitted to Wash-
fiington. When he was informed that
" such messages went by way of Fort de
:France and Hayti he refused to give
us his dispatch because a. Spanish tor-
jpedo boat was at that moment at Fort

professional secrecy, he told the Ameri-

‘lung, that, under these conditions, he
ip'referre'd to give his dispatches to the
iEnglish company, in spite of the delay
of twenty-four hours which they would
have to submit to on account of the
accumulation of business on the lines

Kingston, Jamaica, May 17.—In an
engagement seven leagues from Glen-
fuegos last Monday Gen. Gomez'de-
feated 1,600 Spanish troops and com—
pelled the Spaniards to retire to the
city.
The Spanish were also obliged to
abandon the minor outer fortifications.
and they notified the neighboring plant:
ers that they must protect themselves.
A fortnight ago Gen. Menocal passed
Cienfuegos with 2,000 troops from
Puerto Principe and Santa. Clara on
the way to invade Havana Province
and co-operate in the protection of the
American landing partyl , 4
Gen. Gomez is undoubtedly in posses;

were recently withdrawn.

Yet Been Muster-ed In. '2';
Washington, May 17,—The 'siowness
with which Connecticut is making up
its quota of State troops has caused
some remark at the War Department.
Differences of opinion among the State
authorities have arisen, and the result
of this and other causes is that no soi-
diers have been mustered at Niantic,
and not more than one-half of the re-
quired quota has even been passed
upon by the mustering officer.

Bittér Against Consul McGarr. -
Kingston, Jamaica, May 17.—The
American refugees from Cienfuegos
who came away from that place by the
Adula. have been released from quaran.
tine. They reiterate the statement that
Consuls McGarr and Casanova left,
without notifying the residents of their
departure, on the Beverley.
An English passenger on the Adula
says McGarr “acted the part of a cow-
ardly scoundrel.” He came to the
British Consul, Mr. Fowler, and said
the Beverley’s departure was a State
secret and he must not let out what
her mission was.
“He gave no notification to Ameri—
cans. more than'150 of whom remained
behind, who did not know what the
vessel came for.
“Persons who knew and applied were
allowed to go,~but the majority did not
know the vessel’s object until after her
departure.” _ , ,

\Vashington, May III—The Navy De-
partment takes with great allowance
the report that the Spanish strategists
have succeeded in sending a second
squadron, under Admiral Villamil, to
the West Indies, and that it also is off
Martinique. Even if the alleged in-
formation did not bear the suspicious
earmark of 3. Madrid date, the depart-
ment would not be surprised to hear
that Admiral Villamil, as well as Ad-
miral Cervera, was with theSpa-nish
force in the Caribbean Sea. The fact
that the report came from Madrid sat-
isfies the officials here that this is an—
other Spanish ruse to centre our at-
tention on Martinique, while their
ships have passed westward.

was nearly three miles long. ‘ _
