VirMtt PrfMo4lon Ttoken la Wr D prlmnt to Keep Minora Oat of the Army. The war department is determined that the recruiting officers shall re ject all applications for enlistment from minors. Instructions given to that end beveral months ago, however, have been found not to serve the pur pose desired. There are still numerous enlistments of young men who prove lo be under 21 years of age, though said to be older, leading to applications to the war department from parents and friends for their discharge on the ground of minority, bays a Yashington report. Jt is therefore desired that every pos sible precaution be taken to avoid the improper enlistment of persons under the age of 21 years. To this end young men who meet other requirements and say they are fully 21, or even a few years over that age, should not only be carefully interrogated and their ante cedents be carefully investigated, but the written consent of the parents to the enlistment must also be obtained if the recruit appears to be under 21 years of age. Jn case such a recruit fails to obtain this consent he will be required to furnish his own svrorn statement in writing regarding his age, supported by the sworn statement of two other persons, and these must be satisfactory to the recruiting offi cer, otherwise the applicant will be re jected. When the written consent of parents or the sworn statements indi cated are furnished and accepted in such cases they will be attached to the enlistment papers. NAPOLEON AMONG ANIMALS. Commander of 10,000 Men Who THkily Pat to Death Thoaundi of Food Animal. Imagine a procession of 10,000 cat tle, r -arching two by two, in a line 15 miles long; let 20.000 sheep follow them, bleating along 12 miles of road; after them drive 16 miles of hogs, 27,000 strong; then let 30,000 fowls bring up the rear, clucking and quacking and gobbling, over a space of six miles; and in this whole cara van, stretching for nearly 50 miles and requiring two days to pass a given point, you will see the animals devoted to death in the packing houses of Swift & Co. in a single day, says the Cosmopolitan. Surely a Buddhist would think that the head of that establishment had much to answer for. Never before in the world's history was a massacre of the innocents organized on such a stupendous scale or with such scien tific system. The commander of the army of 20, 000 men engaged in this work earned his . first penny picking cranberries in a swamp on Cape Cod more than 50 years ago. It was at Sagamore, on that historic peninsula, that n. son was born to the house of Swift on Junje 24, 1839, and named (iustavus Franklin. A few years later, when the boy was not picking cranberries, he drove hogs along the cape. It was like Napoleon exercising his in fant armies at school. HIS FACE SPOILS RAZORS. Philadelphia Buhtr Una a Cnttomtf Whoae Skin la Alvray Fmll of Grit. "Did you see the man who just went out?" asked an uptown barber of a customer, as a swarthy individ ual left the shop, according to the Philadelphia Telegraph. "Yes? Well, he spoils a razor every time I shave him, and he comes here twice a week regularly. He is a stonecut ter, and the grit and dust is so im bedded in the pores of his face that :t is like drawing a razor over the side of a stone. I always use the host tools I have upon him. but they are not stone-proof, and a dull razor is the result when his beard is re moved. "He is a customer upon whom I lose money, and I am glad to say that he is the only stonecutter who favors me with his patronage. I often wonder hr.w it is that he doesn't wince when the razor strikes a section of stone that is imbedded in his face and bounds off, but it is prolHy because his skin is so hard ened that he feels no ill effects." Football llnror. The Maryland Medical Journal pro duces figures which show that re turns -from 00 colleges covering ten years of time and including 1.37 i sep arate teams prove the dangerous character -of football. Of the 22,700 men in these teams f54 received in juries serious euough to prevent col lege work, the ratio being one for every 2,MG players. The deaths were too numerous, but the figure is not given. The number playing de creases, but the injuries increase in an ominous manner. Ilcginiiiiig with l'.t3 and ending with the inju ries ran thus: 40, 46, 40, 4. 52, 52, 67, 'JO, 76, 143. I.rglslAt Inn on Klaatag. A kising certificate may be one of the luxuries of life if a certain Amer ican physician Las his way. The sen ate of the state of Minnesota is con iddering a bill for the prohibition of ..i.-s.ng unless the people wishing to :alutc eachother thus possess health certificates stating that they are fit subjects. The bill has a clause for bidding such health certificates being given to people with weak hearts, as this is declared an obsta cle to the emotion aroused by kiss ing. DUTCH IN SOUTH AFRICA Are Better aa Farmers and Politi cians Than the KnifUaa, Saya an KfigHah Writer, The Dutch are better men on the land than the English. Mr. Rhodes affirmed it as strongly as Benjamin Kidd. Not only are they better men but ihey are much cleverer politicians, writes VV. T. Stead in Itooklovers Mag azine. Dr. Gordon SprLgg, the pres ent premier of Cape Colony, told me last year that the rough Dutch farm ers from the back country had such a natural intuitive genius for politics that after three weeks in parliament they could give point to any British member who had been in the house for months. Not only are they better men all round on land, not only are they abler politicians all round in the houses of parliament, but, what is far more im portant, they are better breeders ot men. The British colonist, following the example of the Frenchman and the New England er, shrinks from the primal task ol multiplying and increas ing and replenishing the earth. The Dutch cradle is never empty. If the hand that rocks the cradle sways the world, it is not less true that the race that fills the cradle will possess the world. Hence the destiny of South Africa seems tolerably certain to bi that of a federation of self-governing states, preeminently Dutch, w hich wil or will not be sheltered by the union jack, according to the readiness of tl imperial government to recognize that it has no authority over African ders. ASSESSING A BRONX L0TLET. Fortr-Fonr Sqnnre Inch a of Ground In New York Valued at Twq Hundred Dollars. The assessors have been called upon to assess what is relatively tin most valuable piece of real estate ii the entire city, says the New Yorl Commercial Advertiser, and have ap praised it at $200. This may seen a paradox. But $200 is full valut for the parcel and the parcel is ii the Bronx. The "lotlet" is at tin northeast corner of Third avenut and On Hundred and Forty-nintl street. It is triangular in shape am measures 6 inches on the avenue, 14 inches on the street and 13 inches on the northeasterly line. It, therefore, contains 40 square inches. Last May it sold for $200, or $5 a square inch. That would be $70 a square foot, or at the rate of $l.S0(), 000 for a full lot of 2,500 square feet, a price unequaled even in .he finan cial section of Manhattan, l'rior to the adoption of the full value r. s sessment plan the "spot" of land, which is about big enough for a man to stand upon on one loot, was as sessed at about $30 and the taxes were about 70 cents. The assessors evidently read the accounts of the sale on May 20 last year, tucked tin clippings away for future use and swooped down on the owner with an assessment on January 12 of $200. The taxes this year, therefore, will be at the $1.45 rate, $2.SK. A CHILL FRANCHISE. Peculiar (Inallfleatlona Required ol Votera In a Certain 1111 nola Town. What constitutes a legal residence ami entitle one to vote has been often a matter of dispute. In hu "Becollections" John M. Palmer tells an amusing story of the peculiai credentials accepted by a certain town in the west. The town was in Illinois. One of the qualification required of a voter was residence in the state for six months previous to the election. Or, one occasion a man named lloskins appeared for registration; but when asked how long he had lived in the state, confessed that the time was somewhat less than six months. The registration officer, after tell ing him he had not been in the state long enough, hesitated a moment, then asked if he had "had the chills." "Yes, I had one yesterday," said lloskins, "and I feel one coming on now." "But him down," said the clerk to his assistant. "The chills are as good as a six months' residence!" Mr. HoskinB's name was thereupon placed on the list. Treasure of the Pea. Divers recently- raised from the Mediterranean, off Sicily, about thirty old guns which, they say. belonged to the Dutch and Spanish ships sunk by the French in 1676. At tny rate, nine of the guns are adorned with the ancient insignia of the Netherlands. There is greater treasure in the sea than out -of-date guns, and when sub marine navigation has become safer, one may exject exploring expeditions in the great deep which will yield re sults as rich as any which crown the efforts of explorers on land.
