THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF
Has Very MncU Mora Control Over
tho Army Than Over tho Navy
Tho president of tho United States Is
mado by tho constitution commander-in-chief
of tho army and navy Curi
ously enough his control over tho two
branches of tho service differs material
ly So far as tho navy is concerned ho
has comparatively littlo oxocutive au
thority bat his power in army matters
is very great
For example ho might if tho scnato
did not object toko any fresh graduate
from West Point and inakohimtho
general of tho army In fact with this
condition granted ho can turn Gon
Schofleld oat of his place of command
drop him from tho list altogether and
replace him with whorusoovcr ho
chooses Indeed more implying no
contradiction from tho upper houso in
congress ho has tho power to tako any
private in the army and make him tho
general
Tho law in this regard seems to bo a
curious one inasmuch as no Hko power
is vested in tho president with regard
to tho navy Tho president however
willing tho scnato -might ho could not
tako a Bailor in tho service and tnako
hlmandmimL IfeHhcr could ho pro
t k midshipman just out of Annap
olis to such a position Nor would it
bo possiblo for him to advatico to the
dignity oven a captain for It is only the
senior commodore on tho regular list
who can legally becomo an admiral
and throughout tho entire navy pro
motions must follow this invariable rulo
of seniority
That is ono advantage possessed by
tho navy over tho army A midship
man entering tho servlco at a given ago
has tho absoluto and comforting assur
anco that with reasonably good con
duet ho must arrive at a certain time
in tho future supposing that ho sur
vives at a deflnito rank If ho is grad
nated with high rank in his class ho
may count upon bcingntt tho head of
tho servico before ho is retired as if it
were a mere matter of mathematical
calculation

The DIualo of Chinese Speech
There Is in China not only an inti
lnato association between music and
poetical speech but also between music
and speech generally Tho Chincso
being a monosyllabio languago it de
pends to a great extent upon musical
intonation to convey meaning If you
listen to tho conversation of your Chi
ncso laundrymen you will discover that
their ordinary bpeech is almost as musi
cal as tho rccitativo sccco of tho Italian
opera
Many words in tho Chinese language
tako from thrco to six different mean
ings according to Intonation These
intonations 03 Dr S Wolls Williams
forcibly urges havo nothing to do ei
ther with accents or emphasis They
nro distinctly musical and it is much
to bo regretted that Dr Williams was
unable forobvious want of tho musical
talent to study them from a musical
point of view as it is all but impossible
to convey a clear understanding of
their nature by description
Thcro seem to bo many variations
but generally thcro aro four of theso in
tonations or slung named and defined
as follows 1 ping shing or even
tono 2 shang filling or rising tone
3 keu bhing or declining tono and

Air nnd llrcatlilitg
Of tho many sources of atmospheric
impurity wo mention four
First Normal breathing Tho air
which wo inhale to ovygonato tho blood
Is cihaled loaded with carbonic oxide
No liarm results from this whero thero
Is a freo circulation of air But it to
far otherwise In closed rooms and ill
ventilated places of public gathering
In such places tho oxygon is rapidly ex
hausted and its pluco is filled with
noxious carbonic oxide
Second Exhalations from tho sur
faco of tho body It is tlito that makes
tho air of unventilated sleeping rooms
so diLagrceablo and that rendered tho
Black Ilolo of Calcutta lo fatal
Third Dusty occupations such as
those of coal hcaers black lead grind

A nlcociv That Tioduccd K Sensation
in llojton Colored Society
Tho colored women of this city havo
learned that It is possiblo to tako tho
kink out of their hair and there is
qulto a sensation over tho discovery
Tho rash to havo crisp locks btralght
ened is becoming general although but
fowof Uiosowho havo successfully been
smoothed out nro willing to admit that
their liair was over othcrwlso than
straight and glossy Tho fad as yet has
not reached tho malo box and at tho
Sunday evening meeting of tho A M E
church ono of tho deacons warned tho
slstoia against their sinful prido in at
tempting to improve on tho Lords
handiwork IIo was followed by a
sister who said
If God had Intended us to havo
straight hair ho would havo given It to
us in tho beginning God novor in
tended it and I for one shall bo con
tent with what Ivo got Its a sin be
foro tho Lord and a vanity to havo
your hair straightened
Tho idea was introduced by a young
colored woman from Virginia Sho
herself ha3 a glossy bang and black
hair as straight as that of tho lato Sit
ting Bull Sho says her owndinlr was
formerly crisp nnd kinky but that an
old Canadian woman told her how to
mako It straight and this information
sho is now Imparting for a considera
tion Tho customer is told first to wash
her hair and como with it well dried
Sho does so and then tho oporntion
begins
A preparation tliat is amber colored
and of tho consistency of cream Is taken
from a largo jar and rubbed thorough
ly into tho hair and where it was en
tirely lustcrlcss before it begins to as
somo a gloss This is rubbed so tho
oughly into tho scalp that none of tho
hairs can fail to havo received a por
tion Then vigorous brushing is re
sorted to and tho short liair begins to
lengthen
If it were an iuolUong before it Is
now fully twdinehes long and if bo
foro it had boon done up in what old
fashioned southern pooplo term
plaits it fa now ready to bo rolled
into a loose twist oi a looso coil at the
back Tho operation takes about four
hours and is permanent in its effects
It gives tho colored woman a very In
dian liko appearance and tho fow who
will admit having In en treated claim
they did it merely to mako tho labor
of combing their hair so much tho
easier Ono of them said
Ono thing I know and that is that
it is terribly convenient to havo straight
hair I never beforo realized what a
blessing it was Beforo I dreaded tho
task of combiug it and now I dont
mind it at all Boston Globe
