mediare and deep impression on the lay
ing "out of cities and towns all over the
world.
The most striking prophecy regarding
(uture elites was made by M. Kugene
Heuard, ' munWpul architect of Paris.
M. Hcnard predicts that In the nesr
future light Wd energy will be conveyed
universally by electricity, while petrol and
oxygt-n will be drpended on to supply heat
a comforting thought In view o our
4;mlnlshlnjc wood and coal supply. . Alao.

with a private 'cold storage plant, refri
gerated by Tries n a of liquid air, a device
that will prouably ' have a good effect on
the price . of , perishable provisions by
utttng within the reach of the people
one of the Jobber's chief sources of profit.
Another auagstloa that might well be
appMed daring the dog day In New York
la the recommendation that cold radiators.
aa well as heat radiators, be uaed to keep
dwellings at a comfortable temperature In
summer as well as winter. M. Menard
holds that by this means each house might
be provided with one or more health
chambers, closed by double 'windows and
doors, . In'whVJi the family would . be
enabled to reap all the benefits of cool
air, full of oxygen, during the moat sultry
summer weather. . .
Another prediction reminds one of Ed
ward Bellamy's "Looking Backward." It
is that glaa verandas of various shapes.
Joined together so aa to afford protection
to the sidewalks, will ultimately be a
feature of all cities and towni. By such i
a device the elusive, umbrella, would at
last receive Its Just deserts, for the streets
would be Just aa dry. and comfortable In
rainy weather aa they now are on sunny
days. Also, the city of the future, accord
ing to M. Hernard, will have buildings ex
actly as high as the street In wlr , In
which case New York may achieve within
the century the statua of an Interesting
relic of the past. The roofs of these houses
would be platforms ornamented with
shrubbery and flower beds, to be used as
roof gardens.
The town of the future, aa regards its
topography, will offer a marked contrast
to the favorite checkerboard arrangement
of the average American city In that It
will be traversed by large radiating thor
oughfares, partly occupied by moving plat
forms, raised above the level of the side
walk proper, which will afford a means
of quick communication between the dif
ferent sones. The Idea la to terminate
these platforms by large revolving- cross

Magistrate Hughes she and her three
children were sold by her husband for 11
to a man who, she declares, haa threat
ened to take her by force.
In broken English she asked that her
husband be found and made to support her
and the three children whom he had left
at home to starve.
Though the alleged transaction took place
some time ago and though the woman re
pulsed the man who claimed her aa his
property, she declared today that ahe was
still in fear that he might come forward
force himself Into her home.
"It was three years age." she said, "that
my husband sold me. He wanted money
for more liquor. He gave me and the
children for II, and I didn't know any
thing about it. When the man came to
me and said, 'I will live here, I own you,
and you belong to me, I paid for you,' I
thought he was crasy. I aald, 'You won't
live here,' and I tried to drive him out of
the houae; then he showed me my mar
riage certificate and said, he had bought It
and me for $1. I snatched It from him,
and I have It now where he can't get It;
but I am afraid."
Magistrate Hughes sent two of his of
fice to the woman's home to verify her
atory.
The youngsters were huddled together
on the kitchen floor before the stove, which
apparently had not had fire in It for days.
The baby of nine months wss crying, and
the other two, Joe, 6, and Oeorge, one
year or so younger, were gnawing at chips
of wood which they had picked up In the
street to kindle a fire. There was not a
vestige of food In the house, and the chil
dren were blue with cold and half starved.
In one of the upper rooma the officers
found an emaciated boy,' Mrs. Quglsa's
brother, who recently came from Poland,
and who Is suffering with tuberculosis.
Magistrate Hughes provided enough
money to buy food for the family for a
few days.

Captain James A. Moss. Twenty-fourth
United States Infantry, read an intereatlng
paper before the annual convention of the
National Ouard association of New York
at Albany recently on "Customs of the
Service." Captain Moss is a graduate of
West Point of the class of 1K9I, and al
though a native of Louisiana, haa spent all
of hla service with negro regiments with
the exception of two months, when he re
ceived his captaincy In the Twenty-seventh
Infantry, being transferred shortly after
to the Twenty-fourth Infantry. Captain
Mosa la known aa the pioneer American
military bicyclist and made an WW-mile trip
on his wheel from Fort Missoula, Mont,
to Tellowstone park in the summer and
fall of 1896, and then a trip of 1 WW miles
from Tort Missoula to Bt. Iouls in the
summer of l1.
Captain Mosa said he had given consid
erable attention to the practices of '.he
army In the last few years, and that since
the Spanish-American ar many of the tfa
ditlons and customs of "the old army"
have entirely or partlallv tasked r.way.
owing to the general reorganization it the
army and the passing out of so many of
the older offlcera and the Influx of a large
number of young officers from civil Jjfe
and from the volunteers-men wjisr-Vnew
nothing ann'it the customs of the service
and who eeemed to care less. Captain
Moss oited a number of the various cus
toms In the army, several of which are
given below. s
The expression "How." used by army
men In giving a toast, is equivalent to the
expression. "Here's to your health." Some
think It la merely the Indian corruption
of "Mow d'ye do?" abbreviated by the
Indian to "How." and taken up and used
by officers and soldiers who In the early
days of frontier service were thrown In
constant contact with Indians. However,
on the other hsnd. there are others who
believe the expression Is derived from the
Indian language direct. m
MRS. MARV' OUQ15A AlsIJD HEJ? CHILDREN
would march past and countermarch only
in front of the soldiers designed fr cru
sade service, thus signalling out and dedi
cating to the cause these' particular men.
It is very probable that the assembled
populace did considerable cheej-lng during
this part of the ceremony, and it la quite
likely that "the three cheers" are sym
bolical ot that cheering.
The following versions are given of the
derivation of the expression "dough boy"
as meaning, "infantryman." in olden
times, when Infantrymen used to clean
ttelr white trimmings with pipe clay. If
caught in the rain the whiting would run,
forming a kind of dough. Hence the
sobriquet "dough boy." The tramp of 'In
fantry marching In mud Bounds as If
their shoes were being worked and pressed
In "dough." From adobe, then "doble" the
Idea being that Infantrymen ar the soldiers
who have to march In the mud; henee the
expressions used In the sixties and early
seventies in referring to infantrymen as
"di.ht. crushers, " "doble makers" and
"mud crushers." However, some Infantry
men think they are called "dough boys"
becauae the., are always "kneaded"
(needed); whileother Infantrymen think
they are the "flower" (flour) of the army.
The custom of saluting with the hand Is
supposed by some to have come from a
Roman practice dating back to the Borglaa,
or even earlier. In those days assassina
tion waa so common by the dagger that
inferiors coming Into tae presence-of su
periors were required to rets the hand,
palm to the front, thus showing there waa
no dagger concealed In It. Time euid cus
tom have modified the requirement to the
preeent method of saluting,
There are othera who are Inclined to this
view: From the beginning of time In
feriors have been required to uncover be
fore their superiors, and equals ta acknowl

courtesy. In the British army durm- the
