Discipline in the French Army.

It would be interesting to get exact
statistics as to the number of men shot
on the French side during the war,
together with details of their offenses.
Unfortunately, the War Office cannot,
or will not, give any information on this
head. Possibly no record has been kept
of these executions, bat this much is
certain that every officer who served
through the war is ready with stories of
how summarily certain Generals went to
work to establish order among their
troops. Gen. Clinchant, the present
Military Governor of Paris, was terribly
strict, but popular all the same /; for he
was known to be just, and kind, too,
when he could afford to be SO. Having
the command of raw levies, inclined to
be insubordinate, he resolved to show
them promptly that he was their master.
Once he issued q stringent order against
robbing fruit and vegetables from the
fields and gardens of the peasants in the
Loire valley. A few days afterward a
couple of zouaves stole out of camp by
night and gathered basketful of pota-
toes. These two soldiers happened to
be veterans who had served in the italian
war, and they were brave fellows, much
liked by their Colonel but this only
made the ofense worse in the Generals
eyes; "for," said he, " if old soldiers
set the example of disobedience, how
can we expect the young ones to obey p
80 the two zouaves were shot.
On another occasion three young sol
diers took it into their heads to go out
of camp without leave on Sunday, in
order to dine with some friends who
lived in the neighborhood. They re-
turned in time for tattoo, thinking,
probably, they had committed venal
offense. They were shot the next morn.

An Attempt at Free Advertising Baked.

While playing his last engagement in
this city, Chanfrau was disguised at the
smallness of his house, and determined
to perpetrate some oddity that would set
the papers talking about him, for Frank

minds not uncommon In rich actors,
which fully appreciates the economy Of

One evening after his performance

The Future Of Our Republic.

have population of more than IS, 600,

public will exceed $4,000, 900. IF the
rate of growth for the last ten years is
maintained, the baby born in this year
and living the allotted three score and
ten years will see this Republic, if the
Republic stands, holding population of
315, 100000 What Republic! What
futurel How great the task of keeping
this Republic Republican. of keeping
this Democracy Democratic! How splen-
did and boundless the service to man
kind if the world shall be taught that it
is possible for so vast Republic to exist
whose fundamental idea is to exalt the
individual, to protect the little, local
self governments and to dignity the doc
trine of local self-goYernment on earth.
But this population is to be one not of
ignorance or squalor, but of intelligence,
thrift, and plenty. How measureless
the work of such Republic! We can
not compute it by multiplying the free
dom and happiness which democracy
gives to the single home into the many
millions of homes which will make up
315, 0OO,O 900 of people. In 1910, gen.

for the Republic to maintain the SIM

Comma Donati Dante doubtless had her

Austrian Women.

Women in Austria perform the duties
of bricklayers, laDorers, and may be
seen carrying hods of mortar and bas-
kets of bricks up high ladders. More
than this, they actually supply the place
OF navvies, and dig and wheel barrows Of
"ballast" as nimbly as their lords. They
chop wood, they carry water, they offer
to black our boots in the streets and
perform many other little otfices>which,
according to our notions, hardly come
under the denomination of "women's
work" Perhaps this state of things is
unavoidable in country where it is con-
sidered necessary to keep a standing
army Of 100000 men. The women
work Unfortunately hard, while hundreds
of idle men are constantly sauntering
about in various uniforms, doing moth
ing at all except perhaps blowing O.
cloud of tobacco smoke.

A Case Of Fascination.

It was my fortune, says writer in
London Nature, to witness case of
fascination between large striped
snake and medium-sized toad. When
first seen they were about fifteen inches
apart. The snake lay in a coil with its
head thrust out toward its victim, and
moving slowly, its eyes ghtteripg and
its tongue darting necessarily. The
toad was standing on the very tips Of
his claws, with its limbs rigidly drawn
up to their full length, its eyes fixed
upon its captor and fairly bursting from
their sockets, its mouth covered with
foam, and its whole body swaying to and
fro, and seeming just ready to pitch for
ward upon its face. The movement Of
the snake became more and more rapid,
and the agitation of the toad moro in
tense, until the space between them was
reduced to some three or four inches,
when the snake opened wide its mouth,
and the 1abored breathing of its victim
stopped short in low cultural moan.
At this point my own agitation became
so great that, Selling o heavy stone, /
finished the snake at one blow. The
instant the snake was struck the toad
fell backward as suddenly as though it
self had been hit, and lay upon its back
for some minutes with no signs of life.
At length it gained its feet and began to
creep languidly away.

A New Vice.

A number of persons more or less
prominent in different walks of life have
died in this city within few months
from the direct effect, it is said, of hypo-
dermic injections of morphine. The
effect of morphine under the skin is de-
scribed as peculiarly and wonderfully
agreeable. A delicious languor steals
over the frame, the senses are wrapped
as in voluptuous waking dream, and a
most joyous consciousness of perfect yet
fascinating repose softly overfows the
mind. Even strong men and women
have frequently found it hard to resist
its allurements, and have not been able
to resist its beatitudes without arousing
all their will. On this account some
physicians will not administer or pre-
scribe morphine under any circum-
stance, fearing the consequences to their
patients. Not a few women Of the finer
type have been wrecked by the habit,
and many men, professional and COM
mercial, are steadily running themselves
by its indulgence. 1t was hailed as a
great blessing once, and so it is, properly
regulated; but, like SO many blessings, it
may readily be converted into a curse.
