We have received Volume I
No . 1 of The Coming Age, edited
eih Boston by B. O. Flower and
Mrs. C. K. Reifsnider. Mr. Flower
was founder of the Arena and is a

liancy. Judged by first impres-
sions, the Coming Age will be an
interesting and instructive acces-
sion to tbe realm of journalism.
The Texas Stockmen’s annual
convention will meet at Galveston
on the 20th iust. An excursion to
Havana and other points in Cuba

Pryor, a prominent cattle king,

convention and go direct by steam-
er to Havana, returning to Galves-
ton after one week.
Salpher far Diphtheria.
Sulphur is one of the moet ef-
ficacious and aimole cures for
diphtheria. All that is needed is
flour of sulphur and a quill, and
with tnese. it is said, one cele?
brated phvsiclan cured every pa-
tient without exception. He put
a teaspoonful of flour of sulphur
into a wine glass of water, and
stirred it with his finger instead
of a spoon, the sulnhur not read-
ily amalgamating with water.
When the sulphur was well mix-
ed the physician gave it as a gar-
gle, and in ten minutes the pa
tient was out of danger. Sulphur
kills ererv species of fungus in
a man, beast and ulant in a few
minutes. Instead of spitting out
the gargle, the swallowing of it
is recommended. In extreme
oaseB in which the above special-
ist bad been called in the nick of
time, when tbe fungus was too
nearly closing to allow the garg-
ling, be blew the sulphur through
a quil into the throat, and after
the fungus had shrunk to allow
of it, then tbe gargle.—Humani-
tarian.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad proposes to light all
the cars ol its limited trains be-
tween Los Angeles and Chicago
and supply the locomotive head-
lights with electricity generated
from the car axles. The full train
will have an electrical equipment
to over -1,900 candle power, and
etch car will have a separate
plant, consisting of a dynamo and
storage batteries. These trains
will be the first in the world to
carry so large a lighting service
derived exclusively from the car
axle.

During the revolution a little
American privateer once stole up
on a British line of battle ship in
a fog, mistaking her for,an East
India merchant, and ordered her
to strike. When the seventy-
four ran out her guns and threat-
ened to blow her puny assuilaut
out of the water, the vankee skijr
per stepped to the gangway, and,
taking off his hat. said politely:
“Oh, very well, sir: if you won’t
surrender. 1 will."—Philadelphia

Superintendent John B. Smith
of the Central Park menagerie at
New York, the other day found in
the rhinoceros cage his large
black cat, Snyder, which had beer
missing for a week. While going
through the elephant house in
which Smiltss, the old rhinoceros
is kept,Superintendent Smith saw
the missing cat coiled up in the
hay beside the big beast. The
rhinoceros was licking the cat’f
paw with its tongue. Superinten
dent Smith watched the* pair foi
a time and trie*d to coax the cat
out, but it would not leave Smiles
A keeper informe*d him that the
two had struck up a Btrong friend
ship in the past week, and when
the rhinocerous was asleep the
cat would frequently perch itsell
on Smiles' back and kt*ep watch
“In its native state,” explained
Superintendent Smith, “a bird
know n to hunters as the rhinoce
ros bird keeps watch over the
rhinoceros when sleeping, and
peeks at its e*ars to arouse it at
the approach of danger. Nature
perhaps is working on the same
lines in bringing Smiles and Snv
der together; but it's a queei
friendship, and I shall not dis
turb it.—The Alliance.

Dorothy's father, who had left
home with his summer clothes on,

How Deserters are Punished.
There are in tbe United States
8000 men who have enlisted io
Uncle Sam’s army and navy and
deserted. Half of the men who
“want to be a soldier” grow tired
of peace. As noon as their dis
satisfaction becomes apparent
such men are not given the free
dora accorded to more trust
worthy men. More sailors "break
the oath of allegiance than do
soldiers. Jack Tar, after a long
voyage, often gets drunk, goes to
sleep, awakes in course of time
and finds his ship gone.
It is n peculiar fact that more
deserters are caught in recruiting
offices than anywhere else. Once
a soldier, a man in hard luck is
very likely to go back to the army
If he is in some other city than
the one he originally enlited in or
whence he deserted. Herein comes
the identification system. If Tom-
my Atkins gives the same name
as that he enlisted under origin-
ally It is soon found out whether
he is a deserter.
After It is found that a man is
physically and mentally qualified
to enter the army every Inch of his
body is minutely examined for
cuts, marks or soars of any kind.
A chart is used, and these “front
and rear elevations” are so classi
fled that an index is easily made
up. Then the would-be-soldier is
told to come back in a few days
During his absence the records
are carefully searched, and if it
is found thut he is a deserter he
is arrested when lie returns. He
is then held until the war depart-
ment arranges for his return to
his former regiment.
The articles of war provide that
the penalty for desertion may be
anything save death in times of
peace, and death only in war.
Usually the soldier has to serve a
term of imprisonment, forfeit his
pay and then remain until he has
served three full years of his en
listuient, counting the time he
hud served before desertion.
In 1892 desertions from the
army reached the high tide of 200
a month. The colored troops have
a very creditable record in this
connction. Formerly $<»0 was

markable family are everywhere
being revived. Out of a family
of nine, four, while still children
became blind—an affliction which
seems in no wise to have affected
their activities. One of the blind
brothers, as a recent biographei
relates, “looks after the office
travels, solicits business and
makes all purchases of material.’
He is never attended in his daily
walks aoout the offices or works

Palpable Misfits.
A good old Htorv is told of n
minister who. after a protracted
sermon from a temDorance orator
who had in too great abundance
the gift of continuance, rose and
remarked: “Let «s now sing
hymn number so-and-so. ‘And
are we yet alive?'” Possibly, it
is rather too good to be true, but
it suggests the care that ii(*eds to
be exercised in the choice of
hymns.

The Loving Cop’s Origin.
Few people when drinking
from a loving cun which is now
again in rogue.realize its signific-
ance. The loving cud originated
as a matter of precaution in an-
cient times, when apparent
friends liad an unpleasant
method of killing a friend who
was a rival while be was drink-
ing. Consequently an immense,
heavy cup was made w ith a mas-
sive cover. The method of nsiug
it can still he witnessed at ban-
quets at the Mansion House in
Ixindon. 'The tiorson receiving it
stands and turns to his neighbor,
who also rises and takes the cov-
er with both hands. The first
jiersou then raises the heavy cup
to bis lips with both hands, and
having sipped of the contents
holds it while the friend at his
side replaces the cower uud takes
the cup, repeating the same pro-
cess in turn with his next neigh-
bor. Thus both hands being oc-
cupied there is no nossibility of
one “friend” stabbing another.
In our time the custom lias de-
