THE TBAnUNG OF TOTTED STATES CAVALEY CADETS. 4..354 ;v.' -wmr y c C'KW A - vTT j . BLACK HORSE TROOP FORDING A STREAM. Although the United States Govern ment supports but one national mili tary academy it encourages military training In a number of other schools and colleges by detailing to these insti tutions officers of the army and navy. These subsidiary military schools are of three kinds. There is, first the state school which receives financial aid from the state government and is re garded as a part of its military estab lishment. A notable example of this class of schools is the Virginia Mili tary Institute, famous as the West Point of the Confederacy, and now en joying the distinction of tinvlne more of its graduates in the United States Army than any other school or college. The second class comprises the agri cultural and mechanical colleges which have received donations of land from the government and which under the terms of these grants are required to give instruction in tactics. Private military schools may be considered as A COSSACK RIDING KXEBCISK. forming the third class. These schools use military training because of . its value as an educational Instrument. The course of instruction in the classl- PYRAMID OF CADET8. fled schools varies from the two or three hours per week of drill or lec tures in schools and colleges with mil itary departments to the dally routine of the essentially military Institutions In which the cadets live in barracks under constant discipline, march to classes and to meals, and receive a course of theoretical and practical mil itary training which takes as Its mod el and approximates as closely as can be done In a private or state Institu tion to the superb course of training at the National Academy at West Point. Even in colleges in which the course is most limited a large number of young men receive each year at least a general Idea of drill, discipline, and the art of war, while from the essentially military schools some hun dreds of cadets are turned out annual ly who are thoroughly disciplined and well instructed in the care and hand ling of troops and who will in time of war prove thoroughly competent officers of volunteers. Thus Bomewhat the same results are obtained from the military schools, though, of course, on a smaller scale, as from the compul sory military training of European countries. Great attention 1b paid to horsemanship. Indeed, there is noth ing that could be more delightful for a boy than to have a horse of his own and to be taught all sorts of feats such as these pictures illustrate. BOUSE OP CEMENT. Ilntne Man Made Illmnelf a Home After an Entirely New Pattern. In Belfast, Me., there is a house, built by Prank Hoag, believed by the "builder and citizens of that place to be the only one of the kind on earth. Aside from the blasting and digging for the cellar, the house was built by inr. Woag himself. The entire outside, Ihe Boston Globe says, is of cement, the mixing of the component parts being undertaken after long study of the subject. Mr. Hoag finished the InBide of the house first. This being done, he lathed the whole outsidowith wire screen stuff, such as Is used for fencing chicken pens. This was firmly fastened. The studding was close, and when the wire was on it gave a rigid surface on sides, ends and the slopes of the roof. Over this lnyer of wire he spread a first coat of cement. It was well pressed on, so that it oozed through the meshes of the wire for a clinch ing hold. When this first coating was thoroughly set another and a heavier one wits spread over the surface. Shingle effects were fashioned on the gables, and on the roof the cement was shaped and lined, to give an ap pearance of slating. Then over the whole outside was laid a finishing veneer of cement paint. The house Is as tight, as a bottle. It Is Impervious to heat or cold, or leak of rain; and. as its foundation is a solid ledge, it can defy the frost to wrestle with it. Mr. Hoag says the cost of building was about the same as wooden construction would have been, but he says there is no great number of repairs. COMBINED BALLO ON-AEROPLANE. l.lttlext Father. The woman who came to clean up was telling how Bhe left her boy to take care of the baby. The boy was two and one-half years old. The baby was six months. "That's the youngest little father I ever heard of," said the flat dweller she was cleaning up for. "Do you Jock them InT" "Yes," said the cleaning woman. "Poor little fellow," said the flat dweller. "Locked in to burn in case of Are! Some day when you lire cleaning up for me I want to go over and see that little' father, who ought to be In the cradle himself, taking care of the six-months-old baby. want to Just sit there and look on while. Poor little fellow!" Chicago Inter Ocear NEW FRENCH DIRIGIBLE-BIPLANE IS CONSIDERED ABSOLUTELY SAFE. A series of aeroplane trials which have been taking place at Issy-les-Moulineaux, the well-known aviation center In France, have been marked by the novel feature of a combination of the dirigible with the gas bag, and the trials are being watched by aviators with the keenest interest. Tho above Illustration shows the tandem biplane belonging to M. Cesar making a flight. It has a cigar-shaped envelope and is fitted with a BO-horse power Prissi and Bertahud motor. London Sphere. Trapped. The man was neither neatly nor well dressed. He was plainly a tramp, beg ging, and had Just turned away from one passer-by when he saw a youn; man walking briskly toward him. "Please, mister," said the tramp, "can you give us a dime to get something to eat with?" The young man stopped. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Can't get work," said the other, glibly. "I haven't had a bite to eat since yesterday morning. Pawned all my clothes, 'ceptlng these. Slept under a wharf for a week, and I don't know anybody In the whole city honest, I don't" The young man looked at the tramp's smooth face, over which a ra zor had evidently passed very recent ly. "Who shaved you this morning?" he asked, and as the beggar faded away the young man grinned, and walked on aown tbe street. Greatly Overattmated.

Fact Veraua Theory, "The teacher of one of the rooms la a school In the suburbs of Cleveland had been training her pupils In antici pation of a visit from the school com missioner," said George S. Wells of Pittsburg at the Shoreham. "At last he came and the classes were called out to show their attainments. "The arlthmetlo class was the first called, and in order to make a good impression the teacher put the first Question to Johnny Smith, the star pupil. " 'Johnny, if coal, Is selling at 6 ton and you pay the coal dealer f 24, how many tons of coal will he bring you?' " 'Three,' was the prompt reply from Johnny. "The teacher, much embarrassed, said, "Why, Johnny, that isn't right' " 'Oh, I know it ain't but th.y do it nyhow.' " Household Remedy Taken in the Spring for Years. Ralph Rust Willis, Mich, writes: "Hood's Sarsaparllla bas been a house hold remedy in our home as long as I can remember. I have taken it in the spring for several years. It has no equal for cleansing the blood and ex pelling' the humors that accumulate during the winter. Being a farmer and exposed to bad weather, my sys tem is often affected, and I often take Hood's Sarsaparllla with good results." Hood's Sarsaparllla is Peculiar to Itself. There Is no "Just as good." Get it today in usual liquid form or tablets called Sarsatabs. II la Good Work. The director of a prison received an order after many years' service. He had all the prisoners called together and made the following speech to them: "As you see, I have been decorated, by royal grace, with an order. But I willingly acknowledge that this has been attained not alone by my own merits, but by the co-operation of all of us. I can also declare, with pleas ure, .that since I nave ocuupled this office the number of prisoners has In creased from 400 to 700 a fact oi which both you and I may be justly croud." London Tit-Bits. How He Remembered. "No, Dickey; I can't let you go Ash ing to-day. Tou want to go entirely too often." "Maw, the last time I went flshln' was three weeks ago ylsterdSTy."

Italy levies a graduated income tax as well as a direct tax on land and houses. Smaller incomes are exempt from taxation.
