The North Atlantic Squadron will sail for the Caribbean Sea Dec . 14, and will carry out a programme of maneuvers to be agreed upon by Secretary Herbert and R lar Ad ml. Bunce.

The bicycle is now used in the tactical exercises of the Infantry and Cavalry School at Fort Leavenworth.

The Russian Govern meat has erected a bronzj monument in memory of Vice-Ad­miral Korniloff, one of th* heroes of the siege of Sebastopol.

The American Society of Naval Archi­tects, and engineers held its third annual meeting in N e w Tork city, Wov. 7 and 8.

Tbere was only one bit of damage doae to the the French Residency in Antanan i-rivo, Madagascar, during the recent hos­tilities, and that wa-> in the interest of hu­manity, or rather caninity. When the ultimatum was rejected, the place was vacated by the French Envoy , and duly sealed up , and with it a forgotten dog. For several days the poor beast appeared at intervals at an upper window, and its bowls grew steadliy fainter and more piteous until at last a native, more intelli-gent tban the rest, passing by smashed in a shutter and set the half starved animal free.

The French Government in a recent ' G i z i t t e " has toe-Jtoved upan thirty-four military surgeons honors equat in every respect to those received by regular mem­bers of the force. The London Lancet in an article oa "The Defense of Chitral" speaks in terms of highest praise of the medical officers of the British Army in particular, and of other armies in general.

Capt. Philip H. Cooper the superintend­ent of the Naval Academy in bis report of the workings of that institution for the year among other recommendations, ob­serves: "Seamanship cannot be taught alone by precept, and it is impossible * to create a lively interest without suitable in­struments. Tbe naval academy should have

WB vca-wils of mudeiatcaige and mr bandy that practice under way can be bad throughout tbe year. These vessels should be of 900 tons displacement, composite with back-rigged sail ing vessels, with no steam appliances on board. The quick judgment, the readiness of resource and the unfailing nerve required of our naval officers in the management of modern men-of-war can only be developed through the teaching of seamanship, and that on board sailing vessels. The argument that seamanship is no longer necessary in t h e s : days of steam and of mastless ships is a grievous mistake; but tbe art must be taught in youth. It should still be the foundation stone of this institution."

Lieut. LeRoy M.Garrett is commanding the Coast Survey steamer Endeavorer, en­gaged in a re survey off Montauk Point.

Surviving soldiers of the Army of the Frontier, which was organized, by Gen. Schofk-ld in 1362, are arranging for tbe celebration of the anniversary of tbe bat­tle of Prairie Grove, Dec. 7.

Complaints having been received at the War Department from various posts rela­tive to the working of the new service arm —the Krag-Jorgeasen rifi;—a board of officers has been appointed to examine into its defect, that the fire ia too high, and if possible provide a remedy.

Bill and a third p»r«on that mo 1< sty forbid4 my narainff, were pr"«pnt. It was

When there i« FO much that is beautif i! it is hard to know jus" where t o comm.n' i ' . The state buddings are very interesting to visit. New York building is two stories high. Tbc first story is stone and the second is of wood; next to it is t i c Penn­sylvania building, and just across from these is the Massachusetts building which is a reproduction of Longfellow's b.iuie at Cambridge. The Georgia building is , the largest State building on the ground, ;

and is flded with products of this S'ate. The building of the "Piant System" is very singular. It is pyramid one hnndr-d feet square at the base and sixty feet high.

The Fine Art building was the first of the Expedition buildings proper, that WJ visited. It contains a small but veryf i i r collection of paintings and statuary. I can only mention a few of those that attracted my particular attention. The first was a painting by Hov-aden, about dve feet by-three called "Breaking the home ties." It represents a young boy just bidding g >od bye to bis mother, as he is about to star: out on the active duties of life, while in the distance his father, and the rest of his family are awaiting to give him a final adieu.

Two paintings by J. G. Brown of N e w York, one calied "Shine" and the other, - T h e side-walk d i n c e , " are good s p e r -mens of scenes ia a New York Arab's life.

"The Oith of Al legience atValley Forge" by H. T . Cariss of Philadelphia represents a group of continental soldiers gathered around a table in a room, while with up. lifted hands they swear eternal fealty to the cause of liberty, now ia its hour of trial. "The Pilots" by G i n Melch-trs of Paris represents a group of old s - a c i p -tains gathered arouad a table oa w a b h u the model of a ship, and they are discua;-ing her merits, while the smoke from lb :ir old clay pipes fills tbe room with a dingy cloud.

Still another is "A Brittany L?gend" . by Henry Mosler of N e w f o r k . A g/oup i of old crones are gathered around a bright Are on the hearth and telling ghost stories, • while the light, from tbc burning lo^s casts a weird expression on the faces of the ; wondering group as they listen with awe t

to tbe recitals. ; I can only mention two statues. . Oae is I

a statue in plaster by Daniel Chester ; French of N e w York entitled. "Gitlaudet and his first deaf mute pupil," which tells , its own story. The second is a bronze statute entitled "Hurrah! War is over." i A confederate soldier stands with a can- . non swab in bis right hand while with bis left, he swings his tattered bat in air, and shouts at the joyful news of peace.

A visit to Confederate Hall was a sad reminder of old rebellion days. It was hung with the Uttered ensigns of tbe old Confederate army, while in cases were numerous relics of the lost cause. Oae was a grip-sack just as be left it, and as it was sent home to his wif J after its owner was killed at the battle of Antietam

The Woman's building was so full of a!! tbe beautiful works of women that they have had to builJ an annex. 1 would not dare to try and enumerate even a small portion of tbe contents of these buitdings. The exhibit which most attracted my at­tention, was the display of colonial relics from many of the old thirteen states. I can only mention, s doll brought over to this country over 150 y e a n ago, Wm. Penn's tankard, a table used by Arnold and Andre Sept. 31st 1780, and an ancient atlas published by Lifittein 1701

The Lucy. Cobb Institute of Athens. Ga , has a lanre display of paintings and fancy work, and the exhibit from Wellesley Col­lege is a very fine one. Tbe most notice­able statue in this building is a life size marble statue of "Hero watching for Le-uidcr" by Anna M. Valentine.

We took lunch at the Costa Rica build­ing, sitting on the piazzi overlooking "Clara Meer" while the sweet strains of the band were wafted across the sunlit waters, and the spray from the electrical fountain was tossed hither and you by the light breeze. It waa like a fairy scene. We enjoyed a very good cup of coffee with a Costa Rica waffle for 10 cents, or you can have a Costa Rica lunch for 50 cents with a free ticket to tbeir theatre, where as tbe placem informs you , "yon can see that country as in life. A country you need to know, where a future awaits you ."

The Alabama building has a motto over tbe entrance which reads "Here we rest," which I think will be a good sentiment with which to close. H. W.

A tired stomach is verv mu^h like a spraiaed ankle. If you suffer from any of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your stom­ach if tired. It needs a crutch. We must relieve it or all work for a time, or until it is restored to its natnr.al strength. To do this successfully, we must use a food which is already digested outside of the body, and which will aid the digestion of other foods that may be taken with it. Such a product is tbe Shaker Digestive Cordial.
