COLORED SOLDIERS.
Uncle Bun lu a Fort Manned Entlrel
by Them.
That there is an army of about
96,000 In the United States and thai
A private soldier receives $13 per
month is about all the information
the average citizen possesses on the
eubjeot. Why any sano man of aver
age strength of mind and body
should voluntarily deprive himself
of the privilege of quitting his job
at a moment's notico is another
mystery. The greater number of
military posts are located in the far
west, eaoh location being selected as
ft central point for troops in case of
Indian outbreaks. Thus, to the pres
ent generation, a private soldier in
uniform is almost a curiosity, and a
colored cavalryman is as great a
curio as an Indian in war paint.
There are 2,400 colored troops in the
United States in the regular army.
Of this number, six troops are locat
ed in northwestern Nebraska, at
Fort Robinson. Here is found the
colored cavalryman in all his ele
ment. As each troop has 60 men, the
860 cavalrymen located here at Fort
Robinson makes it the largest caval
ry post in the United States. Not a
white man is to be seen except the
commanding officers. Here is prac
tical demonstration of how a negro
can be trained and disciplined into
doing, work with the same energy
and promptness as a white soldier,
and, when it comes to the test, show
ing the same bravery and endurance.
This was shown by the 90 mile ride
of the famcus Seventh during the
Indian war at Pine Ridge agency in
1890, when they came to the rescue
of a company of white soldiers who
were surrounded and in danger of
being cut off by the Indians.
These colored cavalrymen cannot
only do the work when it comes to
the trial, but have a happy faculty
of keeping in good humor, always
laughing and chattering and as hap
py as children. That the life of a
colored trooper is satisfactory is
evi
denced by the fact that fully one
half re-enlist after the first three
years' enlistment expires.
Many people have the impression
that when a man fails in everything
else he can at least assure himself
that he may join the United States
army as a last resort to keep alive.
But the requirements are such that
but few applicants successfully pass
theexfaaiiiatioii. The candidate
aaWwie unnMBrried, between thai
ages of SI arid '30, possess a fair edu
cation, pass a strict physical exami
nation and bring recommendations
as to his moral character. During
July the Chicago recruiting station
accepted only 430 applications out
of 3,363 candidates who were willing
to share the lot of a private soldier.
The army is no longer a place of
refuge where a man who has lost
all hope and ambition may bury
himself from the rest of the world.
The private who is ambitious has a
future here as well as in any other
occupation, for promotions are made
from the ranks. In July of each year
competitive examinations are held.
Those who successfully pass the ex
amination are placed on the list for
promotions. Should a colored man
who desires to enter the cavalry
successfully pass the examinations
at a recruiting station, he would be
assigned to one of the cavalry posts
in the west.—Indianapolis Journal.
Painter to the King,
In 1767 Ramsay succeeded Shack
elton as portrait painter to the court,
an appointment which multiplied
his commissions, especially for pic
tures of royal personages, to an in
ordinate extent, turning his studio
into a mere manufactory of por
traits. Little in those but the head
was executed by himself, and even
the head in course of time fell to
pupils who, like Reimagle theeldei,
had caught their master's manner.
The king was in the habit of pre
senting elaborate full lengths of
himself and queen to all the foreign
embassadors (two of the first of
these went to the Duke de Nivernais,
at Paris). And Ramsay' studio, first
in Soho and afterward in Harley
street, where it overflowed into the
hayloft and coachrooms at the
back, was seldom free from royal
effigies in vairous stages of compo
sition.— Austin Dobson's "Eight
eenth Century Vignettes."
Italy*! Leaning Towers.
Most gleaners of the wonderful
consider the leaning tower of Pisa
to be something unique in archi
tecture. This is an error, however,
for there are two others in Italy and
several in other European cities.
The two at Bologna are the most re
markable. One of them is 321 feet
in height and leans over 6^ feot
from the perpendicular, and the
other is 161 feet high and has "a
lean" of over 9 feet. The oldest of
these two remarkable structures
was built in the year 1110.—St.
Louis Republic.

FORTUNE TELLING.
A Clairvoyaut Veils How Kaay It la
(lull the Public.
A prominent clairvoyant in a
burst of COD ii 'CIK'e gave to a report
er many points concerning clairvoy
ance as she practiced it that may
prove interesting to the publio.
"It is the easiest thing in the
world to fool a woman," she &id.
"Women do not reason. They are
much more suspicious than men,
but when once their confidence has
been gained you can make them be
lieve the moon is made of green
cheese.
"The whole problem is in gaining
the visitor's confidence. If I can
make her believe in me, sho is gone.
Usually it is not a very difficult job
to do that. Probably one-half of
the women who call to consult me
are actuated by no other motive
than idle curiosity. Such women
never come back the second time
so I know that I can get only one
fee from them anyway. I exact
payment advance, and after that
it doesn't make very much differ
ence to me what I tell them.
"Bnt occasionally a woman oomes
in who has money and means busi
ness. If I please her, she will come
again and again, making my pock
etbook heavier each time. That is
the woman I am after, of course,
and my first work is to impress her
with my honesty. I do not know
her name, her residence or her his
tory. If I did, it would be clear sail
ing right from the start.
"I ask for the usual fee and go
into a'trance.' Very shortly I awake
with a start 'I am very sorry,' I
remark, 'but the electrical and mag
netic conditions today are very bad.
The atmosphere seems to be sur
charged with electricity, and it
greatly interferes with my work.
However, I will try again in a few
minutes.' After a short interval
of conversation I again go into a
trance. This also proves ineffective,
and I hand the caller's money back,
saying that I am very sorry that
she came at such an inopportune
time and assuring her that the con
ditions do not interfere with my sit:
tings oftener than once or twice a
year. Will she call again tomorrow I
She usually is impressed by my
sincerity and promises to come back.
"When she leaves, a negro serv
ant, whom I have warned.by an
electric buzzer, follows her wher
ever she may go. Wh«n he returns,
ho has .the.woman's realdenecnbm
ber. From this' it is an easy matter
to identify her, and a few inquiries
in the neighborhood—at the nearest
grocery, perhaps—are sufficient to
give me all the information I need.
Very often as soon as I find out who
my visitor is I know something
about her which will give me
a clew
to what she wants to know.
"When she calls again, I go into
a trance, and this time the 'condi
tions' are all right. I surprise hex
inexpressibly by describing the ap
pearance of her own residence, giv
ing the street and number and final
ly spell out her own name. Nine
times out of ten this is all that is
required. The caller is convinced
that I have learned her name and
residence by occult power, and
therefore is ready to believe any
thing else I may tell her. It is easy
when you know how."—Chicago
Times-Herald.
Where Rainbow Touches the Xarth*
In every country in the world
rainbow folklore declares that some
object of value may be found where
the ends of the beautiful arch touch
the earth. In Suabia the ends ore
said to rest on bowls of gold in
Hungary, that cups of silver will be
found at the spot where they come
in contact with the earth. In Swit
zerland it is said that a shoe cast
over the rainbow will come to the
ground on the other side filled to
overflowing with gold. In Bosnia it
is said that if iron or other base
metal happen to be at the spot
where the bow touches the ground,
it will be instantly transformed to
pure gold. In many parts of Ger
many, Poland, Russia, Belgium and
Holland it is said to be a golden key
that may be found at "the end of
the bow." In Portugal and Spain
they speak of the "silver hen" hav
ing her nest where the bow rests,
and in Norway it comes to the
ground at a spot where a golden
bowl and a silver spoon are hidden.
In many of the chief European
countries it is said that water touch
ed by the rainbow will cure fits and
insanity.—St. Louis Republic.
TnOan'a Wall.
The Danube was for a time a
sufficient protection against the
Scythians, but soon better defense
was needed, and Trajan devised and
carried out a complete system of
frontier posts from Ratisbon to Bel
grade. At Belgrade the forts became
fortresses, the earthworks became a
wall, and the whole mighty fortifica
tion turned away from the Danube
river. Between Belgrade and the
Black sea there were 96 forts of
large size and hundreds of little cas
tles, while the whole line of Trajan's
wall traversed a distance of 1,100
miles. and had in its extent over
6.000 castlea.

The Ruor Stall.
One of the most curious of the
many remarkable forma of marine
life is a species of mollusk called
the razor shell, which can excavate
holee in solid rocks. This creature
has no English name its Latin
name is Pholas. It is found in wide
ly separated regions of the earth,
but is most plentiful on the coast of
the Mediterranean, where limestone
abounds. It ft frequently met with
on the coast of Italy, where whole
limestone beaches are honeycombed
with their holes. It is still a disput
ed point among naturalists as to
how this boring is effected. Some
think that the mollusk secretes
some acid which softens the lime
stone, but others think that the
holes are bored by the simple me
chanical process of grinding. The
preponderance of opinion appears to
lio with the latter view at present,
yet it is said that no one has yet
been able to catch the Pholas at
work.

A contemporary, In an interesting
article on sleep and the varying
amounts ot it required, remarks that
there are many degrees in the qu£
ity of repose, from the uneasy,
ken slumber that affords
little or no
refreshment to the deathlike stupor
of exhaustion, and that it would be
instructive to know toward which
of these extremes the rest of the
long and short sleeper respectively
tends. I have before me the record
of a fully occupied person who takes
on an average six hours or less in
summer and about seven in winter,
and who, the moment her head is
on the pillow, falls into unconscious
ness so profound that on waking she
has apparently never even moved in
bed, but it by no means follows that
others would enjoy equally sound
rest by reducing the time given to
It, and it would be a dangerous mis
take to lay down any general rule
about a matter which must obvious
