How to Get Into the Naval Academy.
The students of this national college
are called officially "naval cadets on
probation," the traditional title of mid
shipman having been changed first to
cadet midshipman, and subsequently
so the engineer pupils might be in
cluded "-to that now employed. Their
number is limited by law to one cadet
for every member or delegate of the
House of Representatives, and to eleven
others ten at large and one from the
District of Columbia appointed by the
President. As the age of admission
falls between the limits of fourteen
and eighteen, and the course extends
six'' years, it follows, unfortunately,
that in certain districts appointments
may not be open more than once in
that period, thus making one-third of
its boys unavailable by reason of age.
The remedy, proposed for this is only
one of 'fifty good reasons why the
course should be reduced from six to
four years.
To pass successfully the candidate
must be physically sound and of robust
constitution, have a sufficiently thor
ough knowledge of arithmetic, algebra,
history,, reading, writing, and spelling,
and when appointed, be ready to take
an oath to serve for eight years, in
cluding the probationary period. When
a vacancy is likely to occur in any dis
trict, the Secretary of the Navy must
notify its Congressional Representative
as soon as possible after the 5th of
.March in each year, and if by the 1st
of July no action has been taken, the
privilege lapses, and the Secretary is
empowered to make the nomination.
As this system permits the choice of a
candidate to be deferred until the May
examination is really over, or, as in
the majority of cases, until the acad
emic year is about to open, it would
seem to be infinitely better if a candi
date and an alternate were named at
least one year previous to the May ex
amination. This would enable the ap
plicant to pursue a . course specially
titted as a direct preparation for his
professional studies, and if successful,
to go at once upon a cruise, which
would teach him definitely his immedi
ate aptitude for a sea-life. On the oth
er hand, should the principal fail, an
alternate stood ready to face the
same ordeal.
The low standard of admission is
based upon the theory that the possi
bilities of the academy must be so freely
open to boys of every description as to
rnako it what it is undoubtedly the
most democratic government school in
the world. Practicallv this very just
theory impairs the efficiency of the
academy, as it pins the qualifications
at a point which ; rigorously prohibits
the energies of the teachers and of the
average scholars being directed imme
diately to the branches of education
connected with the naval profession.
Entrance examinations are held in
May and September. Lieutenant KeU
ley, in Harper's Magazine.
Toadstools as Food.
It is as supplying stores of nutritive
matter and thus forming a most im
portant, excellent, delicate food supply
that toadstools are of most value. Al
most everything contributes to the
arts, but food supply is limited to di
gestible things. To the inhabitants ot
many nations toadstools in their edi
ble capacity are most important. The
Russians pay particular attention to
their economy and cooking. The Ital
ian peasants regard toadstools as among
their greatest blessings. In England
all of their edible varieties are eagerly
sought after; tons daily find their way
from wood and field to the markets of
towns and cities and the great manu
factories of sauces and pickles. Every
where in Europe they are dried for
winter use. In France, especially,
much attention is paid to the cultiva
tion of the toadstool of commerce, and
it constitutes an enormous industry.
Ten thousand tons are annually pro
duced by one cultivator. In October
of 1885 the writer saw the outlying
commons of Boston, New York, Brook
lyn and Philadelphia covered with men,
women, and children gathering the
prolific and delicate agaricus comatus
(coprinus) by huge basketfuls for the
use of hotels, clubs, and privates fami
lies. Until within a very few years
this same coprinus was classed among
poisonous toadstools. LippineoeVs

England's Naval Power.
England has recently nearly recon
structed her navy. Ninety-seven of
her war-ships carry 589 heavy guns,
whose projectiles will pierce from
twelve to twenty inches of Wrought
iron; fifteen more carry fifty guns
;whose projectiles will pierce from
'twenty to thirty-three inches. '
I Furthermore, she proposes to use the
.merchant steamships of the White Star
and Cunard lines for cruisers and
transports in case of war.
I In brief, England has now a navy
'which could not be replaced for $200,
000,000. In her actual service there
are 250 vessels, while she has a reserve
of 800, with 150 torpedo-boats. More
over, England, in case of need, is- pre
'pared for prompt extension. At home
'and abroad that is, within her own
domain armored defenses have been
Wntinr.torl nnH nrnnnred with - or - for
modern heavy ordnance, thus facing
She world. And, as a rule her coasts
are made reasonably secure against an
(assault. Gen. O. O. Howard in the
American Magazine. -

The Tropical Town of St. Pierre.
We are ashore in St.. Pierre, the
quaintest, queerest, and the prettiest
withal among the West Indian cities;
all stone-built and stone-flagged, with
very narrow streets, wooden awnings,
iron balconies, and peaked roofs of red
tile pierced by gabled dormers. . Most
of the buildings are painted in a clear
pale yellow tone, which contrasts de
liffhtfully with the burning blue ribbon
of tropical. sky above; and no street is
absolutely level. Nearly all of them
.climb hills, descend into hollows, curve,
twist, describe sudden and amazing
angles. There is everywhere a contin
uous chant of running water, pouring
through the deep gutters contrived be
tween the paved thoroughfare and the
absurd little sidewalks varying in
width from one to three feet. The
architecture is very old; it is seventeenth-century
probably; and it re
minds one a great deal of that charac
terizing the antiquated French quarter
of New Orleans. But one must imag
ine New Orleans idealized by artistic
conception, made intensely tropical,
and projected audaciously upon the
side of a huge volcanic hill. All the
tints, the forms, the vistas, would seem
to have been especially selected or de
signed for aquarelle studies, just to
please the whim of some extravagant
artist. No ruin was ever more pictur
esque than these living' streets in their
perfect solidity and. . undilapidated
quaintness. The windows are frame
less openings without glass; some have
iron bars; all have heavy wooden shut
ters with movable slats, through which
light and air can enter as through Ve
netian bliuds. These are usually
painted green or bright bluish-gray.
Lafcaido Hearn, in Harper's Magazine.
It Gave Him Courage.
A commercial traveler tells the story
of himself. It was in his early travel
ing days; in fact, he had been taken
out of the office to make his first trip
on the route of the regular traveler,
who was sick. He visited two or three
cities on his route, not meeting with
much success, which he attributed to
the fact that two or three other sales
men carrying the same line of goods
were just ahead of him.
Being afraid the house would be dis
satisfied, and a little doubtful of. his
own abilities, he telegraphed his em
ployer: "Better call me in. There are
three rival salesmen ahead of me."
Instead of calling him in the head of
the house telegraphed: "Push ahead.
There are a hundred other fellows be
hind you."
So he went ahead, satisfied that he
could at least hold his own with the
fellows that were behind, with the re
sult that he made such a good trip that
he was kept on the road and his salary
increased.
He said that the idea that there was
a lot of fellows following served to
stimulate him, and he determined to
go ahead and push things to the best
of his ability, and he succeeded. Jew

Ninevah the Great.
Ninevah was 15 miles long, 8 wide,
and 40 around, with a wall 100 feet
high and thick enough for three char
iots abreast. Babylon was 50 miles
within the walls, which were 87 feet
thick and 350 high, with 100 brazen
gates. The temple of Diana, at Ephe
sus, was 420 feet to the support of the
roof. It was 100 years in building.
The largest of the pyramids is 461 feet
high, and 653 feet on the sides; its base
covers 11 acres. The stones are about
thirty feet in length, and the layers are
380. It employed 33,000 men in build
ing The lalnnntb, in Egvpt, contains
300 chambers and 250 halls. Thebes,
in Egypt, presents ruins 27 miles
around. Athens was 25 miles around
and contained 250,000 citizens and 400,
000 slaves. The temple of Delphos
was so rich in donations that it was
plundered of $500,000, and Nero car
ried away from it 200 statues. The
walls of Rome were 13 miles around.

ine advent ot summer In the South
is described by an editor in appropri

cury, like a cringing sycophant, quick
to do homage to the coming queen,
bounded up toward, the" nineties., and
the glowing sunshine showered upon
the woods' and fields and sweltering
mortals like wavering sprays of molten

In a report to the trustees of Colum
bia College, President Bernard had the
boldness to declare that there are too
many colleges in the country and that
for that reason, he should like the un
dergraduate department at Columbia
to be discontinued and the whole in
stitution to be made a university for
postgraduate students. There are too
many colleges, but not too many like
Columbia.
Senator Bate, of Tennessee, is said to
carry a cigar in his mouth a great part
of the time, but no one has ever seen
him smoking. The story is told that
during one of the battles of the late
war Senator Bate and his. brother, who
was a colonel, were ; talking together,
and just as the former struck a match
to light hid cigar a cannon-ball whizzed
by, tearing his head, completely, from
his body. The senator craves the taste
of tobacco,, but he has never lighted s
cigar since that tragic event
