ENLARGEMENT AMD RECONSTRUCTION OF GOVERNORi)
JdLAND MILITARY POST ’ --*£
Incongruous as it may seem, the na
tion which has been the most active
in respect to the world's peace move
ment is also the most progressive in
its military policy. While an earnest
advocate for peace among nations, it
is an energetic exponent of the prin
ciple of the "big stick." The United
State believes in honorable peace, and
big battle ships and an efficient army
to command respect for its high ideals
of international comity. As evidence
of the latter tendency the proposed
improvement of the Governors Island
military post may be cited. If within
the next ten years the plans proposed
for the enlargement and improvement
of the army post in New York harbor
are carried out it will be transformed
into the finest and largest military
reservation in the whole world. By
extending the sea walls about the is
land the land surface will be increased
to nearly three times its present size
and its equipment, will he such as to
make it the busiest place in the en
title American military establishment.
Instead of only three companies, a
whole regiment will be necessary to
furnish its garrisoning force; trans
ports will sail from it to the island
possessions of the United States, and
there will be great headquarters build
ings on it and splendid mansions and
imposing barracks. There also will be
a wonderfully beautiful park, and a
great athletic field. Col. Marshall of
the Engineering Corps, I'. S. A., who
is in charge of the filling-in work, said
recently the island would be ready
for building operations in about three
years.
One hundred and one acres are be
ing added to the old island, and eight
een months hence two-thirds of this
reclamation will be completed. Eight
een months later on. it is estimated,
the reclamation will be complete, and
the island will be ready for the quar
termaster s department, the depart
ment that will be in charge of the
erection of new buildings, the laying
out of the parks, etc.
Congress has appropriated $1,100,000
for the building of the seawall and
the extension of the island.
This newer Governors Island will
be as much greater in every respect,
when compared to the Governors Is
land of to-day. as is the present is
land when compared to the modest
establishment w hich Capt. James Dun
can of the navy described to Gov.
Clinton in a letter written on board
the Centurion in December, 1783.
The buildings on Governors Island
at that time, according to Capt. Dun
can. were a wharf, a well eighteen
feet deep, with pump. etc., the cap
tain's kitchen, the captain's cellar, a
barn for cattle, the gardener's house,
the hospitai kitchen, the hospital well!
the captain's well, the guardhouse!
the convalescents' hospital, the cap^
tain's barrack, the lieutenant's bar
rack. the lieutenant's kitchen, and the
summerhouse.
In describing the projected new is
land an officer called it taking "an
imaginary walk around the Governors
k Island of ten years hence.”
"The walk.” said he. "begins at
Castle Williams, and we are looking
down what is now Hurricane Row. In
stead of the unpretentious red brick
buildings that used to face it. there
are splendid mansions and a structure
finer than all the rest, the latter being
the post hospital. First, as we start on
this walk, we see small, yet neat,
structures, three in number. They
are just to the south of Castle Wil
liams. The first house is the barracks
of the prison guard, the second and
the third are the barracks of tbe
Hospital Corps se.geants. and 100 feet
distant from the third of these struc
tures is the splendid hospital building.
‘Next we notice that Hurricane
Row has six splendid mansions for the
use of the staff officers of the depart
ment of the east, in the rear of these
houses being a beautiful park, the
center of which is the present Fort
Jay. now used as a water tower.
Returning to Hurricane Row. and
beginning at the last of the staff
residences, we count 13 other beauti
ful homes, the one in the middle be
ing more imposing than the rest.
These are the homes of the officers in
command of the troops cn the new
Governors Island. The fine home in
the center is that of the colonel in
command of the regiment stationed on
the island.
At the northern end ot the park is
a cross-inland roadway lined with
trees, and as we pass the crossroad
on our jouruey we count straight
ahead 17 other splendid imposing
homes facing the great parade, which
is the center of the whole architect
ural scheme. On the opposite side of
the parade are 17 other houses, similar
in design to the ones on the east, and
like them, facing the parade. It is the
finest parade ground in the country—
1.700 feet long and in breadth varying
from 1.400 feet at the northern end to
about 000 feet at the southern end.
‘We are now at the end of the pa
rade and are about to cross another
roadway that cuts the island in two,
and our attention is attracted by six
great barracks buildings, whose design
clearly indicates their use—they are
the homes of the enlisted men. These
i buildings are south of the parade and
just north of the athletic field, on
which the soldiers of the post play at
football, baseball, and other field
sports. These barracks accommodate
i 1.200 men and nothing has been left un
| done to make them the best soldiers’
; barracks in the world.
“The athletic field is 600 feet long,
! S00 feet wide at its northern boundary.
; and narrowing gently to a width of
about 200 feet at its southern bound
ary. To the left of the barracks, oc
cupying a whole island square, is the
post guardhouse, architecturally an
extremely attractive building.
“At the northern end of the island
i is the home of the commanding gen
eral of the department of the east, a
splendid mansion, and by far the most
imjiosing residential structure on the
island Though 200 feet distant from
the park, there are no intervening
structures between it and the open
green. One hundred feet away, and
also facing the open park, is tne Mu
seum of the Military Service Institu
tion. while 125 feet further on is the
big building from which the depart
ment of the east will be directed—the
Headquarters Staff building.
“The rest of Governors Island may
i be styled the part given up to busi
ness of the kind that has made some
of the streets near the Manhattan
I water front famous.”
Reads Them by Profiles.
One woman has an_albuir. which she
calls her shadowgraph. In it are past
ed the profiles in shadow of her
friends. ' My shadowgraph iz a char
acter book.” said she. "There is a
good deal to be learned in the study
of profiles. You have no idea how
much you can ascertain regarding a
person's character, just from the study
of the side face.”
The Dignity of Age.
A young constable arrived in a cer
tain borough in Scotland, and in the
course of duty found it essential to
apprehend a very oid offender. Ar
rived at the police station, he ush
ered him into a cell with the com
ment: "Mind the step." "Gae awa.
-man,” said the the prisoner with con
tempt ; "I kent the step afore ye was
born.”—The Bellman.
“Echo Answers ‘Who?”’
Who knows if the happy and healthy
V mother of one or two children has not
done better service to the state than
the domestic drudge who has a round
dozen infants whom she cannot prop
erly rear?
British Eat Many Potatoes.
It is estimated that in the British
Isles 6.000.000 tons of potatoes are
I produced annually on about 600.000
acres, giving an average of ten tons
to the acre, but a very large quantity
of potatoes comes from abroad, so that
the annual consumption is much
larger than these figures would indi
cate.
Gold in New Zealand Mines.
New Zealand has produced $325,009,

and yet the surfaces of the gold-bear
i ing deposits have been worked com

await further prospecting and mining.

Reverence.
In reverence is the chief joy and
power of life. Reverence for what is
pure and blight in your own youth;
for what is true and tried in the age
of others; for all that is gracious
among the living, great among the
dead, and marvelous in the powers
that cannot die.—Carlyle.

(Anna Farwell tie Woven, wife of Regi

The liberty of American women has
become so universally accepted a fact
that it lias passed into a bytford of
comparison to the older nations.
The puritan idea has become at
last transmuted, through the light and
luxury of wealth and the diffused in
fluence of widely scattered location,
into a basis of fine resjionslbility and
a finer courage. From Virginia and
the more southern states we have a
fluent charm, a soft womanliness and
grace both lovable and admirable, but
regrettably lessening with the disap
pearance of the characteristic life of
the south.
Ir is too early to attempt an analysis
of the western idea of American wom
anhood. for the west, from Cleveland
and Chicago outward, is but a system
of eastern colonies with only one gen
eral and determining condition, and
that is lil>erty, under which individual
traits, traditions and tendencies find
their full opportunity of development.
These various ideas, historical as
well as local, in their origin have pro
duced the types of women thus largely
indicated in oar country. Profoundly
j felt and almost universally operative.
beneath these varying influences, re
mains the old-world orientalism that
women should be first charming, again
! charming and always charming. Char
acter. logic, reason and other stern
requirements of life are for the most
part left to develop in some mysteri
ous way, untended.
The desirability of a thorough col
legiate education is as a rule not ac
cepted voluntarily by the solvent por
tion of our national community. The
female universities are demanded by
the future breadwinners among wom
en and supported by them. This is an
almost universal fact and it has a
double significance. It is at once a
promise and a reproach, in plain
words, the American girl is superfi
cially educated except when she is
compelled to earn her own ' living.
There is a shallowness of foresight so
universal, a deficiency of logic so se
rious and so ominous in this certainly
universal inclination on the part of
American parents that one may well
stop and inquire its reason.
In a certain celebrated essay by
Schopenhauer, an essay as acrimoni
ous as it is profound, he remarks upon
the universal jealousy between all
women as women. Jealousy among
men, he insists, is largely professional,
when it is not intensely personal from
particular emotional impulse. The
male will fight for his chosen mate as
long as the race continues: but watch
a pretty woman, says this philosopher,
as she walks the street and see the
glances cast ui>on her by the women
she crosses in her path. They are the
glances of the Guelph and the Ghibel
line. The jealousy is as universal as
the sex. likewise professional, in the
sense that women's only profession is
to please the men. their masters. He
goes further and with a savage bitter
ness declares that the libery of women
is a monstrous idea, German-Christian
in its origin, which is the curse of
Europe. He advises the restoration of
the feminine seclusion of the middle
ages and lauds the institution of the
harem, which he insists would elimi
nate vice and all the dangers which
beset monogamous civilizations. This
is indeed a vivid expression of the
idea of woman and her proper func
tion and limitation. But his idea is
only too prevalent at the present
time, even in America, the last outpost
of European civilization. The linger
ing proof of this deep-lying prejudice
is shown in its application to the edu
cation of American women. The con
clusion derived from the prejudice is
inevitable—it is dangerous to be clev
er. Such a reputation may be a for
midable handicap in the race for hap
piness, if a woman's happiness is in
the hands of man. It is idle to deny
that this is so. And here we have the
reason why the daughters of the rich
are guarded from any such peril, why
beauty and charm, gentleness, good
ness and stibmissiveness are the qual
ities which clothe a young man’s fancy
and dictate the choice of a wife.
The question now is |<ertindnt. Does
a cultivated mind, with its infinitely
various resources, detract from
charm? Does a trained logic, with its
innumerable applications to the prob
lems of life destroy it? It is aston
ishing that the reasoning masculine
mind for these centuries should have
persisted in the conclusion that they
do. The slightest hint of rivalry to
the male intelligence is destructive to
a budding predilection and a glimpse
of blue above a slipper more perilous
than a whisper of a bifurcation.
All this is true with a solemnity
profjunder than its irony; but the
weapon is in the hands of women, a
j weapon forged by centuries of subordi
1 nation—the faculty of meeting condi
tions. In the hands of a really clever
woman this is tact; in those of the in
1 ept and ignorant, deceit and subter
fuge. It is only ostentatious clever
ness, not cleverness at all In fact. |
which is a deterrent to the exercise o-. I
any charm or talent. There is never |
an hour in the life of a woman when i
the best education her powers will
| permit of is not an advantage. In the
heyday of youth control of emotions
and clearness of insight have directed
many a ship pennant.ed with beauty
and vitality which would have been
driven on the rocks. And what shall
be said of the years which follow, j
crowded with opportunities—nay, ne j
cessities—for a reasonable dealing i
with the questions of life? No woman j
can be her husband's friend and help- '
er without logic to which he may ap
peal and an intelligence which com
pletes and supplements his own. And
this education of character, as of mind,
is not taught in a school which gradu
ates girls in white muslin at 17 and
sends them out without either mental
resource or control.
Geometry teaches the logic of life
and over blackboard problems Rosy
Cheek learns to be the mother, wife
and citizen, which every advanced
civilization demands. This is the ed
ucation which is developed by a seri
ous, adequate curriculum and by
none other. The special training is
another matter, equally important, as
it prepares a woman to meet the re
sistless law which links happy useful
ness with occupation. The choice of j
study should of course be adapted to
the individual learning of the stu
dent. and if indeed there is a mental
constitution differing from that of
man. this fact should be recognized in
fitting her for her probable duties and
her possible use of talent or ability.
The increasing number of eclectic
courses of study gives an added free
dom and breadth of opportunity most .
desirable and necessary and if right
fully understood should entirely re- I
move the popular prejudice that a col- j
legiate education, per se. fills a wo- j
man's mir.d with useless knowledge. !
A college education should mean the !
best education possible, and its vari
ety should only be equaled by its |
thoroughness. The ordinary finishing
school for girls cannot train the mind
adequately because of the briefness of
its curriculum and its lack of system.
Parent anu teacher are alike respon
sible for this, neither demanding, as
a rule, anything approaching a rigor- |
ous standard of education.
it is sometimes fairly astonishing j
to note with what shallow and care- I
less consideration the whole subject j
of a girl's education is dismissed. One I
wonders what results can be expect- !
ed from such lax attention to a su- :
premely important matter. Can a few |
weeks of "science,” a skimming of 1
philosophy, dig the channels of train- i
ed and habitual thought? Can a germ !
of talent, literary, mathematical or i
plastic, be taught to grow by a brief ;
planting and a briefer tending? Can ;
an occasional "composition,” even a ;
certain fluency in the attractive and j
' harmless" literature of the modern 1
languages, give correct and elegant
forms of expression or teach the his- j
tory of the words we use? The un- i
differentiated adjective of sweet 16
may pass amid its rippling laughter
and its maiden grace, but how about
the woman whose vocabulary is still
confined to exclamation points punc
tuating the eternal reiteration of
"awful," •'wonderful,” “fascinating,”
and the like?
A young girl may. indeed, run c
fairer chance of getting a husband if
her charm is not endangered by an
awkward reputation cf cleverness, but
the married woman needs every bit
of intelligence she possesses.
The women of America are enfran
chised by the easterns of the country,
if not by the prejudices of the eo
ealled upper and better classes. Lib
erty and lesponsibiltv are ours and
sooner or later we shall be called
upon to fit ourselves for them. The
working women know this and are
rising to the demands of both necessity
and opportunity. But, first and fore
most. if our daughters are to be given
the dangerous draught of knowledge,
they must learn to subordinate it to
charm. There is no impossibility
about this—onlv the most vafeue ami
illogical prejudice against it. Every
woman should be taught, first and
foremost, that in all social relations
knowledge must be subordinate to
sympathy, merged into the charm
which listens first and then expresses.
All greatness is simple and. above
all, unostentatious, as all strength,
if balanced and serene, is sweet. True
education teaches this, as it «evelops
harmony with law. w'hich is the
“word" of the world, both spiritual
and material.
The preponderance of women who 4
intend to make a college education a
preparation for a wage-earning career
is a deterrent to those who consider
the natural association and friend
ships of youth to be an all-important
consideration. This deterrent must
inevitably disappear with the im
provement of the already established
schools, many of w'hich already ap
proach the college standard, and with
the development of the universities
for women bxistent in America. In
any case, whether this condition dis
appears in a short or a longer time, it
must always be infer and better in
this country of fluctuating social con
ditions to build the foundations of
character and of mental cultivation
firmly and wed. Sweetness and
grace, if individual, will not be de-'
stroyed by the education which devel
ops character

Y»'hen you smoke a cigar von want

abomination and a stench in your own

The trouble with most of us is to
find a cigar with rich, satisfying aroma
and easy drawing qualities without
paying an exorbitant price for it. It
remained for Frank P. Lewis of
Peoria. 111., to solve the problem for
us. His Lewis’ Singh? Hinder f>c cigar
is without doubt the ]>eer of any brand
of 10c cigars on the market. The
Lewis’ Single Hinder cigar is wiappe.1
in tinfoil and reaches the smoker as
fresh as when leaving the factory. Its
smooth, rich, satisfying smoking qual
ities are a delight both to the palate
and the nostrils of cigar connoiss urs
everywhere. In spite of the fact that
the Lewis factory employ no travel
ing men the rales this year will ex
ceed 9.000.000. the demand being cre
ated solely on the high quality of the
tobacco used.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they

manner to enhance their textile beau
