nn Kill-'''* I nr HKTHP I i 11 ri APIIV I\ iVl I ^ . ■ 1 Tbs Third Iflf–lltryi Ifov/ Sta ticned at Fort Snelh'fig. It is the Oldest Regiment In Uncle Sam’s Service. TL-- Third United States Infantry, now stationed at Fort Snelling, c lunel E. C. Mason, commandant, is the oldest regiment in the United States army, dating its organized life f r m 1781, when it was brought into <-x:stence under a resolution of tHe ru nlino-ntnl congress, the first Amer iena Infantry, Colonel Juckson b iegi ment liaving been ordered disbanded, I it became known as the First . V ;, d States infantry. At the first v - imi of congress, after the adoption ,.i' th ■ constitution in 17S9, Washing to nominated and congress confirmed it ., Teers. It has always boon a crack regiment, was early given the sobriquet of ‘■Th; Iiif.es,” and Sousa dedicated his fn us march in its honor. To it has id way been assigned duties most diffi cult or dangerous, and in almost every in;' >: laid campaign it has been in the lead. It lias marched time and again ii-< :a the Atlantic to the Pacific, back and ! rth, along the great lakes, and fr -nxouv northern border to the gulf. Through forests, over the deserts of the southwest, across the mountains and plains of the United States anil Mexico it has made its way, contend mg against every force which has dared to oppose the United States sol dier in battle. From its ranks came Zachary Tay lor. President of the United States, Senators, members of Congress, great jurists, governors of states and terri tories, and some of the bravest, best and most distinguished officers of the United States army, now and in its past history. The soldiers of this regiment left their blood on almost every important field in the war of 1812; they were with Jackson, at New Orleans and Mad Anthony Wayne in his Ohio campaign. They were in the Black Hawk and Seminole wars, won glory in every important engagement in Mexico, retreated—but in order and without a straggler—from the dis astrous field at Bull Hun. They were at Appomattox when Lee surrendered. Its fiag tells the story of its engagements during the war. Legion almost have been its colli sions with the Indians—with Creeks, Navajos, Apaches, Modocs, Sioux— and it was with Howard in* his 2,000 mile chase after Joseph’s Nez Forces, winning glory and a star for General Miles, who caught the Indians on the fly. Its first officers came from the old continental line and many of its offi cers since were sons of grandsons ol those who fought in the revolution. M hen the soldiers of the revolution— the continentals furnished by the sev eral colonies or States—were dis banded, Colonel Henry Jackson’s first American infantry was organized from Massachusetts and New Hampshire soldiers. They were disbanded June 20, 1874, by resolution of Congress dated ,J une ~> 1874, which provided for retaining in the service only twenty-five men at Fort Pitt and fifty-five at West Point, "ith no officer higher in rank than captain; but on the following day a resolution was passed under which the first regiment infantry was organized. By order of the Secretary of War names of the battles in which not less than half of the companies of the regi ment have been engaged have been inscribed upon its banners. The list does not include the scores of skirm islu s and battles in which a part only have been in action.—[Chicago Trib une. Tha Roads of Arizona. Outside the larger towns, public *oad making in Arizona, where prairie a hd mountain trails are the only wagon routes, has not advanced beyond the "heel tracks of primitive times. For the mosfSpart a little shoveling is the only work that lias been done, and tluo only at the crossings of gullies and the trail lies through ean °hs. i n the outskirts of towns irri IMting ditches frequently cross the road, and their overflows and washouts which ocour more or less frequently, jjjay cut dangerous gullies in the high* way or conceal it iu a wide shallow Juke^ Wooden bridges and culverti have been tried on much traveled trails, but they ure apt to disappear, as the native Mexican population regard them as providential gifts tc remove for their own private purpose. Where tlie road skirts the edge of gul lies rains and hoods often undermine the sides, which, falling off in sections, - leaves a sheer wall, it may be, fifteen | or twenty feet high. By successive slouohiugs the trail is encroached on in places, and n detour must be made. Thus a stage ride in a broken country is likely to be exciting to the point of ^prehension, even with an experi enced driver who knows f*ne route and the probabilities of its shillings.— [Chicago Herald. Japanese Lacquer, The Japanese lacquer is a ready made product of nature, being pre- I pared , from the sap oi the , lacquer, , tree, which, when hardened, is of inir ror-like sn\oothness, unaffected bv either acids -or hot water. It is of great durability, never spliting or crackling. The industrial importance of lacquer work is far above its art value in Japan, where it is employed for an infinite variety of uses, even for such objects as acid tanks, ship keels, and photographic tablets, not to speak of the objects of domestic use. The unique superiority of Japa nese lacquer work is due not only to tlie special merit of the material, but also to the care and skill shown by: the Japanese in the manipulation of the material. The art laequer work of Japan is essentially individual. It is not ‘ merely bric-a-brac, There is as wide a distinction betweeu the ord inary laequer tray or cabinet of com merce and the exquisite lacs by the great Japanese artists as between a placard and a canvas of Raphael. Each of the great masters of lacquer created a style of his own and founded a school, of which the traditions were kept alive* by his successors for centu ries.—[New York Sun. Natural Food in Missouri. “Nature provided us with the best of food for every one,” said Col. J. S. Crisp to the corridor man at the Laclode, “and we have-not preserved it. If the wild turkeys had been iiro* tected in Missouri, and the Irens not been slaughtered and the young left ty perish, every stream in the state to day would have thousands of turkeys along the banks, If the does had? been left and only the bucks killed, the forest would abound in deer. “Had prairie chickens been killed for food alone and not for wanton sport-, the fields would be full of them. The Government ought to establish a large game park and raise birds and animals adapted to this country. Then estab lish game laws and rigidly enforce them. It will be but a few years, un less this is done, before the game is entirely ,. , exhausted. J llie . true 1 same is ot fish, , and , j, fish , culture should be I es tablislied upon a scale commensurate with tlie capabilities of the streams.” —[St. Louis Globe Democrat. Flax. The cultivation of flax in Europe, and the spinning and weaving by primitive looms of fine linen, would seem to antedate history. As far back as the stone age, the inhabitants of Switzerland and Lombardy, living in huts and feeding on roots and acorns, were familiar, in a crude way, with this industry. Historical mem oirs prove that tho ancient Hindoos and Egyptians produced flax, the form er for its seed, the latter, about 5000 years ago, for its thread. The old Egyptian linen was very fine and beautiful.—[Washington Star. Onr Courts In Japan. The proceeding iu the United Staten Consular Court recently brought out a singular fact in connection with the American courts in Japan. It seems that they are under the old common law of England, which existed prior to 1770, and under this law some curious thin;: may be enacted. For instance a verbal statement is enough to constitute a will. If a man so de sires he can if arraigned for certain offenses demand trial by combat, while under another section of the law a man may be hanged for stealing a shil ling.— | Japan Gazette.

Perhaps there is nothing morepecn liar about the Eskimoes of Point Bar row than their methods of using tobac co, which, of course, they procure from the whites. They know good from bad tobacco. When they get hold of a few plugs of commissary tobacco from a vessel of the United States navy, they show a markad appreciation of it. The habit of chewing the weed seems to be universal. Men, women, and even un weaned children keep a quid, often of enormous size, constantly in the mouth. The juice is not spit out. but swallowed with the saliva, without producing any symptoms of nausea.— Washington Star.

It is an excellent nerve tonic, and is especially good for keeping the brain clear and active at night. It prevents sleep, however, almost too thoroughly, and should not be taken less than four hours before bedtime. It is said to remove immediately and thoroughly the unsteadiness and stu pidity due to drunkenness.
