Certainly It Is today entirely u founded , lor the very good reason that II ntandnrd by which applicants { or cnllstmc : arc meacurcd Is higher In the United Stat than In any other country In the world ar the boys who wear the blue are as fine spec metis ot healthy and Intelligent manhood i were ever mustered under a flap. When the Industrial conditions ore sue that every man who wishes to work can ( e cure of steady and \\cll paid employmci the Inducement to enlist Is not so great / it Is during seasona of business deprcssloi For three years past , however , work has boc hard to get , and In consequcniu the ranks < the army arc today practically filled and ri crultlng olieera ( have been Instructed to tal no nppllr.ints but those of exceptional ph > a cal and mental qualifications. A man , then fore , who can at this lime pass muster nee not feel apprehensive as to his health. 1 each man who expresses a deslro tn cnlli nro Bhown the questions he must answer an the examination ho must undergo , before li flics a formal application , and Uila unofflcli preliminary scrutiny usually Eunices to drh away doubts of their own soundness. Noi withstanding this , not more than G per ccr Of those who formally apply are accepted an sworn hi to the eetvlce. Only unmarried men between 21 and S years of ago arc now accepted , and mo : men are at their best physically during tin period of life. That only G per cent pas-j th examinations Indicates ono of two things- cither that the applicants are a poor lot c that the scrutiny Is very severe Unque : tlonably the latter Is the true explanation nnil the writer makes this statement alii careful examination of the facts. The at pllcants arc of a very good uvcrago and th rejection of 95 per cent of their number I duo to the strict enforcement ot the arm regulation ; ) as to enlistments. HOW MEN GET INTO THE ARMY. When a man wants to enlist , ho usuall has a talk with a sergeant or other not commissioned olllcer , and this veteran c the ranks finds out In short order vvhctlH It Is worth the applicant's whileto fllo a application. If there be a chance for till ho Is told to fill out a blank In which li Inserts quite complete Information aboi hlniMlf , such as date and place of blrtl nativity and residence of parents , heigh weight , che-st measurement , eyplratlon an Inspiration of lungs , nature of = lckneso su ! forcd In the past , habits as to the use c liquors , status as to Imprisonment or ai rests , attendance at school , and so on. The lie must supply two references proferabl these of clergymen , school teachers or put He officers. These references , by the waj must.be genuine , as they are Invariably Ir vostlgatocl before the applicant la accepted. I It Is Interesting to note Jut't here , tha though army officers , as a rule , hold arm chaplains In tolerably poor esteem , they ha\ a high regard for the cjoth generally an prefer that nn applicant should be recom mended by a domlnlo rather than by an other man. The applicant Is allowed to state whethe ho wishes to go Into the foot or the mounte service and his desires are generally re epected. For Infantry a man must not b less than five feet four Inches In height , an weigh not leva than 128 pounds , nor mor I than ISO pounds. For cavalry the heigh must not be less than five feet four Inche nor more than five feet ten inches , while th weight and chest measurements are as fol ° For a man 5 feet 4 Inches tall , welgli 128 pounds , chest 32V4 Inches. I For a man 6 feet G Inches tall , weigh 130 pounJa , chest 33 Inches. For a man 6 feet G Inches tall , weigh J32 pounds , chest 33 % inches. For a man 0 feat 7 inches tall , weigh 134 pounds , chest 34 Inches. For a man G feet 8 Inches tall , weigh 141 pounds , chest 34 lilches. For a man 5 feet 9 Inches tall , weigh 148 pounds , chest 34V4 Inches. For a man G feet' ' 10 Inches tall , weigh - 165 pounds , chest 35 Inches. If the regulations should be stretched BI as to let in a taller man than G feet 10 , thet his size must Increase In similar proper tlon to his height. For Instance a man ( feet 1 In height must weigh 170 pounds am have a chest measurement of 36 % Inches Indeed , there Is no prejudice against tal men , but they are scrutinized very care fully and must bo symmetrical also. Cap tain Vlven , who Is In charge of the New York recruiting station , told the writer the other day of an applicant who had jusi been refused. He was n young1 man of whai Is vaguely known In this country of "gen tle birth. " Ha was well educated and ac customed to the usages of good society. He was an Inch over C feet tall and as hand- EOino a fellow as Is often seen clean cul In features and figure , alert In mind anil mtrner. This young fcllow had an idea ol serving part of an enlistment and then going up tor examination for a commission. . Ho was In appearance just the kind ol fellow to delight the eye ot an old sol dier , and apparently without a blemish ol any sort. Ho passed the examination suc cessfully In all respects save ono the sur geon uns fearful that one of his eyes was slightly affected by astigmatism. The youne man was astonished and the surgeon was In doubt. The surgeon told him to return In a few days for another examination. Mem- tlmo the young man went to an oculist who certified that the astigmatism was Blight and Insignificant. It was , however , In the opinion of the surgeon and recruiting ofllcer a fatal blemish and the young man had to forego his ambition. niGID PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS. A man who has passed an examination for a life Insurance policy , If Irb bo of sensitive nature , la apt to feel that ho has been turned Insldo out ard all of his personal secrets placed on record. Dut such an examination Is not a circumstance to that to which those cmbltlous to serve In the army must submit. If these exam'natlona were merely nominal they would not bo worthy of comment , but they are as rigid as veteran soldiers and scl- entlflo medical men can make them. When the applicant goes up for examination he Is weighed , measured and described by a ser geant , and a blink filled cut , which , when complete , reveals every possible thing about the oppl'.cant's physical structure and condi tion. He Is scrutinized by the recruiting of ficer , and then the applicant goes before the Eurgeon and Is stripped that the medical man may verify the previous examination. This Is done In thu most minute way , and a cer tificate that is as exact as may b ; > Is given. If he bo accepted the recruit Is sworn Into the serviceby the recruiting offlcer , and If the enlistment bo In New York ho Is sent to David's 'sland , and from there to the command with which ho la to serve. Men are not enllpted specially for the artil lery , but the most Intelligent of those who go Into the mounted forces are selected for this arm of .ho tcrvlco when there are va- onclea In It. The artillery , therefore IB composed of picked men and this accounts for the utrlklngly manly bearing of these BOldlc-rs whenever they are seen on parade. The mcst recent Instance * of the effect of discipline in good men was offered by the artillery In Chicago. A caisson b'e'v un during the railroad rlotn , but there wan no confusion cuvo that caused Immediately by the explosion , which killed seven ! men and horses ; a little later , In the same regiment there was another explosion but the men juet after this emptied the caissons of am munition as gaily as though the cartridges had been Eluded with harmless tuvvdust. Ono ot the questions asked cf an applicant lo : "Havo you given a true name and not an assumed oneT" A young fellow a little dis gruntled with life on account of some trifling backset In bus'nees or In love ls as likely as not to conclude- bury himself In the army. Such a one U pretty euro to apply under an assumed name , thinking , poor devil , that service In the rink a would bring reproach preach upon Ills family name. This U not generally encouraged by the offlcer * of the army , but sometimes , wlien tbcr * are really reasons why R man honM dc 're servo Inrjpnlt * ' . hli dc.ilro Is respect There vv n nory ! In the old army ot well set up Irishman who rore to be a c < poral ilurliiK lila flrtt enlistment under t name of I'hlllp Sidney. When his term vv out his capta'n slid to him ! "Sidney , It Is none of my buMncM , bi just out of curiosity , I ehould like to km what your real njme li ? " "Ah , captain , " t corporal answered , "I was afraid jou wet : penetrate me dl'gulsc. I did not like to I mo full name wh le serving In the rani co I droppc 1 me family name. Me full nan captain , Is I'hlllp Sidney de Montmorency TKit.M or snuvicu. The term of serv.ee. In the army Is m three years , and the number of men ob : 20,000 , and , therefore. It Is necessary to i euro oicli > ear by enlistments and rc-cnlli ments something like 7,000 men. About 1,0 ot those arc re-cnl stments of men who b conic attached to the service or who a qulro what might he called the army hab The examination of a man who has scrv one enlistment or jnore and has a peed re ord Is naturilly less severe than that glvi to a new recruit , for the nun ot expcrlen may have acquired blemishes as Incidents It's service , and these , unless debllltatln arc quite properly not counted against hit The man ot experience- , too , Is considered much more valuable soldier than the novlc nut the scheme of the statute under whit recruiting Is done , while It cncourag s r enlistments , also provides for the prolub return ot discharged soldiers to civil jit Now , when a man Is dUchaiged he Is in re-enlisted until three months after that tin It ha care for euch a furlough , so thai he c : have a taste of civil life , and this period counted as a part of hln service. The lilt of this Is two-fold. A trained and exper fncd soldier Is thought to be at cnce a be ter citizen In time ot peace and a more valu : ble ono In time of emergency when the aval able men of the country might IMVC to I called to arms. Dut a man who serves moi than two enlistments Is very apt to stay I thu army until disabled or retired. 1'rt vision Is made for the retirement of soldlei after thirty jcan > ' service on three-fourtl pay and three-fourths cotnmutat'on for clotl Ing and subsistence , the allowance to 1 made on the basis of the pay that was ri celvul when the retirement occurred. Tin It will be seen that the government Icol after the old raldlers with much consider : tlon. tlon.A private receives $13 a month for the fir ! two years of enl'stmcnt and $14 a month fc the third year If he has served faithfully nn the writer was Informed by Captain Vive that a careful man could easily save $300 dui Ing the three years. This would seem to t Impossible , but It should be borne In mln that a soldier's clothing , quarters and too. ire supplied to htm. Considering these fact : In connection with the advantages of the po ; schools , libraries , g > mnaslttms and canteen : a. term of service In the United States arm cannot be considered as other than a wholt some and beneficial etprlencc. To thOE \vho fret at restraint and who cannot subm themselves to discipline , an army trtperlenc Is 1'kely to be very valuable unless th lawless soldier be driven to desertion. CONCERNING DESERTION. "Tho ileslro to desert , " said Captal Vlvon , "can be cured by deith only , man may serve two or six jears , but If 1 : Is a deserter by nature he Is sure to tali unceremonious leave at the least expects moment. " Captain Vlven docs not believe that rail Ing the pay or Improving the condition i the soldier has any effect upon the percen ago of desertions. Nothing save the It ability to uecure employment In civil HI and the fear of punishment restrains th man who has conceived and cherished th Idea. The fear of punishment , by the waj Is not at present very great , as the re\\ar for apprehending a deserter 1.0.9 . been reduce from $ GO tn ? 1" and the officer making th arrest must pay the expensa of dellvorln the des'crter to the nearest post out of thl small reward. The Indications arc that eft cors of the line , however these of the sta rnay feel , think that to get rid of a man wh is poK"393ed of the deslro to desert Is a dls llnct advantage and the sooner such a on luts and runs the better It is for the service When deserters nre caught , however , the ire severely punished by Imprisonment a tiatd labor , and a conviction takes from ran the privilege ! ' of citizenship. There are less than forty recruiting sta .Ions at present In the United States an .heso are scattered over the country froti 3oston to San Francisco. Last Novembe ibout 260 recruits were secured and Bortoi applied more than any other station , Nev fcrk next , St. Louis next , then St. Paul hen Albany. For many years after the clvl var the majority of the enlisted men wen if foreign birth and many of them wer lot even citizens. 'Now no man Is ellglbli the Is not a citizen or who has not mad cgal declaration to become a citizen am : an speak , read and wilte the English Ian ; uage. Indeed , the great majority of thi ecrults today are native born though man ; if them are of foreign parentage. There an lost schools at which soldier ? , who deslr t , can acquire free of cost a fair Engllsl ducatlon. Not many enlist for the saki f this advantage , but very many young men nco In the service , take advantage of tliesi chools and on account of the Instruction re elved return to civil life much bctte : quipped for pelf-support and the exerclsi f Intelligent citizenship.

All largo jewelry houses , says the New 'ork Sun , keep a detailed description of the tore valuable articles In their stock , so that ! lost or stolen before or after purchase tiey may bo trace ? ! with some chance ol ucces > 3. Jewelry left for repairs or resetting i also minutely described on Its reception , 0 that the on nor may got back the same rtlcle and not some substitute. Diamonds nd other precious stones are weighed and lie exact shade of color noted. The loca- Ion of every flawIs particularly described nd every peculiarity Is put down. The ettlng , of course , la recorded , often with a rawing of the design. The article Is num- ered or lettered , or otherwise designated , nd the nanio of the workman to whom It U inflded Is recorded. All workmen are more r less under the surveillance ot an overseer , > that except with his connivance no sub- .Itutlon of precious stones can be made. In ict , the entire shop would have to be In the > nspracy ! to Insure the- success of such sub- .ItuUon. It would bo at once detected , too , nless stones of the same size , weight and ilor were substituted , which , ot course , ould make- the substitution profitless. When an article which has passed through te hands ot Jewelers who keep accurate icords of their stock and of the jewelry left 1th them for ropalra Is lose or stolen , after avlng thblr possession , the owner can at ice get from them a description with which 1 seek the jewel's recovery. If the- article is not been changed tn any way , It will be cognized as soon as seen , but there's the ib.

" fhe Jeweler who talked thus frankly to ot an experience he had with a custom who brought an emerald valued at | 1C' ' to ba reset. When she had explained wh she wanted done , she said ! "Now , can you guarantee that I will g this stone- and no other back ?

"All I can t Is to exercise precaution against Its lei or any substitution , and to make good U money valuation In the event of one belt made. " "How long will It take to make the sc tlr.g ? " "Two days. " "And will It be In the hands ot a worl man nil that time ? " "Yes. " "What's to prevent his stealing It ? " "Ho Is within sight ot the foreman , " "Oh ! the foreman you couldn't watch tl workman ? " "I could It you would pay me. $100 a da ; That's the only way to Insure absolute ! the return of the emerald , as I cannot < 1 the work myself. If the worknnn It w given to was seized with a sudden tcmpli tlon , ho might steal and secrete It bcfat Its loss was discovered , so that even cnught directly , as ho probably would bi you would not be the gainer. " "Well , I shan't leave It. then. " "As jou please ; but may I nsk what yo do with thi emerald nt home ? What's I prevent your servants stealing It ? " The emerald owner went away without at sworlng the question , tailing the emerald. Going back to the system of descrlbln Jewelry , the Jeweler who told this story sal that It worked perfectly wren the stolen ortr. mcnta were not altered by the thieves. Tl : description not only enabled them to I traced , but enabled the owner to prove ownei ship when they were recovered. Agalni dishonest servants , who usually pawn tli o'olen property unchanged In any respect , proved of entire efllcacy. but against pri feajlcnal thieves , who make It a prnctlc at once to destroy the characteristics of win they steal , It was of little use. The tmt and pubstance of vvtat ho blld was that on murt poEicM a diamond worth a fortune , on which has comparatively few equals , and on with an easily distinguished flaw , to t > tan a good chance for recovering It If stolen. Another Jeweler , who Is at the head of th diamond department of a large establish ment , said that Its system of describing th jewely It handled was practically perfec : and afforded nn almost certain menas of trnc Ing ornamcntD which had been stolen and c IdonttiyliK them when recovered. Ho dl not care to go Into details , for obvious rco eons , and did not discuss the possibility c failure In tracing stolen Jewelry duo to th destruction of characteristic marks by th thieves. Ono can bo certain , however , thaupreclou stones left for resetting with a jeweler wh keeps an accurate descriptive record ot hi goods will be practically s-afo from substttu tlon when In his hinds , for the workme would never have the opportunity to put on L'tono In place of another another without al most Immediate detection.

WASHINGTON TO TUB .TEWS. \ I.ettt-r Written l y the VrcNlilent li the Year 171W. In the souvenir book of the Hebrew fair icld In New York a short time ago , appeared i 'acslmlle of a letter addresssd to the He- irews of Newport by George Washington In .790. The original Is In the possession ol Frederick Phillips of New York. It reads is follows : "Gentlemen While I receive with much atlsfactlon your address , replete with ex- iresslons of affection and esteem , I rejoice n the opportunity of assuring you that I hall always retain a grateful remcmbiancc if the cordial welcome I experienced In my rlslt to Newport from all classes of clti- ; ens. "The reflection of the days of difficulty and [ anger which are past are rendered the more iweet from a consciousness that they are lucceedcd by days of uncommon prosperity ind security. If wo have wisdom to make he best use of the advantages with whlcb ve are now favored , v\e can not fall , under ho Just administration of a good govern ment , to become a great aind happy people. "Tho citizens of the United States of imerlca have a right to applaud themselves or having given to mankind examples of an nlarged and liberal policy worthy of Iml- atton. All possess a like liberty of con- clence and Immunities of citizenship. U Is ow no more that toleration Is spoken of as If It , -as by the Indulgence of one class of people hat another enjoyed the exercise of their iherent natural rights. For , happily , the overnment of the United States , which gives 9 bigotry no sanction , to persecu- lon no assistance , requires only that hey who would live under Its protection hould demean themselves as good citizens i giving It on all occasions their effectual upport. "It would be Inconsistent with the frank- ess of my character not to avow that I am leased with your favorable opinion of my dmlnlotratlon and fervent wishes for my jltclty.

To financial ills rust we are now having added an equallj erious distrust of the men to whom thi eople have committed tholt- all , only as ll eems to be used ns Instrumentalities fet crsonal partisan ambitions. The presenl ure of this country Is too much politics lur statesmen ate openly vying1 with each ther to distinguish Ihem elves by rash leg- latlon for the purpose of becoming a pres- lentlal possibility with the itnrellectlnc lapses. The senator who the other da > resented a resolution defining the Monroe octrlne evidently thought he was making n effective appcil to the "gallery. " He rill ycon discover that he has not reckoned Mth the sober cecond thought of the people t 'nrge , which above all demands peace , nd not foreign war , and last of all wai Ith Great Britain , the best customer fet ur products , and the country that , more Itan a'l others combined , lends us capital > develop our enterprises.

That was all due to Armour's manipulation vvi tha general opinion of the local crowd. Tl other markets were strong In pympatl with wheat ; corn Is up l' c per bu. at oats le higher. Pork gained 27l4c per bb lard lOc per 100 Ib- * and ribs 12VzC. It was a day. of great excitement througl out tihe wheat crowd. Quick , nervous lla hi of Itnp-itlenci marked the varied transa tlons anil big traders HtormeiV through tl turmoil of the pit In their eagerness to sel : the key of the enigma. It was scntlmet apparently more than the news which gai the market'the- bulge. Cables were enl a trifle better , the political situation nbron was more peaceful , there vvera no vvhei clearances from New York , and only nboi 103,000 bu. In wheat and flour from hot coasts. And In addition to this Argentic was said , to have shipped 216.000 bu. tltirln the vvesk the largest for a conslderab ! time and private cables were received at nounclng that the port of Odessa we opened anil that wheat shipments vvoul boon be resumed. The northwestern dell\ cries , 435 cars , were larger than n wee ago , anil the general primary deliveries nls liberal. But all this coulu not repress tl : energy of .the bulls , and there was sue wild buying that every short soon got o the run , and there was an exciting struggl lo cover , while there was hnrilly any fr sale cxcspt at what seemed to bo fane prices , but which they finally concluded t iay. Right at the start there was selling r from C3ic down to G3'c , but at the lower c those prices the offerings were confined t i few fives , for which there were tvvent buyers for every one offered , and after few preliminary plunges and recoveries be tvveen 63'4c nnil Clc , the price took a shoe up to 65c , re-iclilng there Inside of the firs forty minutes. The fact that the export from both coasts for the week were COO.OC iu. larger than last week and another larg lecicasu In the visible Is expected exet : ised a powerful Influence In starting th loom. Brokers generally credited the almos Ightnlng-llke barometric changes to Armou nlluence. and many withdrew to view th irnoke of battle from a quiet nook.
