The Yellow river, in China, has
changed its channel four times in tbo
past 1,000 years, and tbo point at
which it empties into the aea has from

The recent convention of clerks,
sheriffs, chiefs of police and marshals
of Georgia, which met at Valdosta,
passed a resolution calling on the leg
oialature to legalise the carrying of
concealed weapons by officers. Such
a law would be in the interest of law
and order. Without weapona.it would
often be impossible to make arreata,
and to carry them now the officer be

All naval ships in the future will

and every effort is being made to ex
ped iate the manufacture of smokeless
powder. Although the army ordnance
bureau has a reserve supply of 50,0$
Krag-Jorgeosen rifles, it io not pros
posed to place them in the hands of
the volunteers. These troops will re

will be supplied with smokeless pow

Military r’rnragt i>
The question ct the comparative pro
portion of really brave men. in any army I
will probably never be determined,
Groat officers on the continent kesj
their knowledge on that subject rigor
ouslyaa a professional secret and as
mme as a certainty that all ™
brave. They know very well, however,
that they are not, and when confiden
tial will admit, as Marshal von Moltks
cans did in public, that with a great
number it takes discipline, and severs
discipline, too, to induce them tofact
rinahrinkingly. American officert
have been known to acknowledge that
of their men, who are as brave as any
in the world, 20 per cent would run
away if they could, and in every armr
even ours, which a man enters only oi
freewill, therein a certain proportion
who literally cannot overcome theii
fear*. They are stricken with a sort ol
paralysis. The proportion
not hinh in any army, the majority, «
1° health, being able to do their duty
■nd having intense motives to do it, bul
neither is the proportion high of thorn
who literally feel no fear.—London

bit, soft cheese, wine and black coffee,
and for an extra 4 sons or so the wait

enough to let her do it, will inflate hii
tires, the merest “marchand de vtna”
being nowadays the proud possessor ol
