THEORY OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Not to offend our brave officers, the
art OF strategy is not entirely confined to
the Treatise on Fortifcation. Beseig-
ing doesn't exclusively belong to the
spectacled young gents of the Polytech-
mic school. Th, seiges of Troy, Roch-
ellie, Belgrade and sebastopol are not
the only great feats on record. There
are other wars less bloody, but which
have nevertheless their details of inter
est.

What is not Etiquette in England

Douglas Jerrold, in his recently pub
lished work, entitled '' Imperial Paris, u
has this good hit upon an Englishman' s
notions of etiquette. He supposcs q
Frenchman to be speaking:
In England it is not etiquette to go
to the Opera with the smallest srrig up
on the waistcoat or the cravat, TO take
soup twice; to salute lady first; to
ride in an omnibus; to go to party be-
fore ten or eleven o'clock, or to tall
before midnight; to drink beer at the
table without giving back your glass at
once to the servant. tits not etiquette
to refrain day from shaving to have
an appetite to offer anything to drink
to a person of high rank; to appear sur
prised when the ladies leave the table
at desert time-that hour which is 80
charming to US. L is not etiquette to
dress in black in the morning, nor in
colors in the evening. It is not eti
quette to address lady without ad-
ding her christian name. To speak to
a person, on any prete1t, without hav-
ing been presented; to knock at door
quietly; to have the smallest particle
of mud upon the boot, even in the most
unfavorable weather; tn have pence in
your pocket to wear the hair close; to
have white hat; to exhibit decora-
tion or two; to wear braces, or small
or large beard-to do any of these things
is to forget etiquette. But that which
violates etiquette in England more than
anything else is-want of money. Ruin
yourself-run into debt--nobody will
mind this but, above all. be a spend
thrift. If, when foreigner arrives in
London, it becomes known that he lodg-
es in one of the economical hotels near
Leicester Square, he is lost to certain
society. Never will an equipage, or
even the card of lord, wander thither.

Mr.. Editor:-I present you the fol.

In the winter of 1918, Mr.. A., Mr..

Genessee county, to go to Lewiston,
Niagara county, on business. On the
route the yvisited Niagara Falls, Mr.. A
and NIr. R. for the first time. On ar
irving at the Falls, Mr.. c., who had
been there several times before, in ac-
cordance with the usual characteristic
of the early settlers, to the new comers.
very politely made extra exertions to
entertain his two new conner companions,
at that wonderful, bewildering and re-
moved spot on earth. He piloted US to
several positions where the mighty cat
aract might be seen to the best advan-
tagc-and lastly he led the way to the
ladder, which at that day was tho only
provisions made on the American side
for the descent and ascent to aud from
the terrific appearing chasm into which
the mighty out-pouring waters of the
great lakes turnbled with tremendous
roar. The ladder was placed in per-
pendicular position, and by some means
fastened to the bunk of shelving rocks,

Of the gifted one--with her apostle hus-

thus exquisitcly tells the story of Their
earthly love and its still lingering "hold
of hands,"

A wildering maze to see,
Crossed DER by many tangled clue,
And wild as wild could be;
And as I gazed in doubt and dread
An angel came to me.

I knew him even then,
Tho meekly as child he stood
Among the sons of men,
By his deep spirit lOveliness,
knew him even then.
And as leaned my wearied head
Upon his profered breast,
And scanned the peril-haunted wild
From out my place of rest,
I wondered if the shining ones
Of Eden were more blest.
Foi there was light within my soul,
Light on my peaceful way;
And all around the blue above
The clustering starlight lay;
And easterly saw upreared
The pearly gates ofday.
So, hand in hand, we troi the wild,
My angel love and l.
His lifted wing all quivering
With tokens from the sky.
Strange my dull thought could not divine
Twas lifted but to fyl
Again down LIES dim labyrinth
grope my way alone,
While wildly through the midnight sky,
Black, hurrying clouds are blown.
And thickly in my tangled path
The sharp, bare thorns are sown,
Yet firm my foot. for well know
The goal cannot be far,
And ever, through the rifted clouds,
Shines but one steady star
For when my guide went up, He LIFT

WILL DANCE BUT NOT STEAL.

After taking in coal in the Waigatt
we advanced to Upernavik, the most
northern Danish settlement. This place
consists of some half dozen rude frame
houses, and some twenty or thir: y white
inhabitants, and about one hundred Es-
quimaux, who live in Winter in stone
huts, and in Summer in skin-tents. The
majority of them are half breeds, the
progeny of marriage connections formed
by settlers in the country, They have,
however, as few fanlts as most aborigines
Good-natured, kind hearted, humorous,
living together in such brot1erly love, as
almost renders the property of one the
property of all; hosp;table, disposed to

universally chaste in the intercourse of
the sexes; pcaceable-they are all these,
without being utterly ignorant. Most
of the ADULTS can read. They are obe-
dient to the commands of their church.
Their faults are laziness in matters of
routine, and of dailysoccupation. They
will dance all night to the fiddle, but
they won't go out for seal unless they
want it pretty bad.
