Mr.. Clements Markham will pro-

even a baronetcy, for his recent
services in the way of recognising
Arctic exploration. Such an honour
would be richly deserved.
A word Of advice to those about
to start for China, japan or those
countries where cholera is said to be
prevalent. In case they should ell
counter the demon, let me call their
attention to a simple prescription
written by physician who had great
experience during the epidemic of
'32 and '4S. AS death is often in
the pot, so is the remedy in the
cruct-stand. The medicine is made
up as follows: Mustard, one table
spoonful; salt, one ditto; water,
half pint. Mix. Dose: one table
spoonful every half hour. 1 do not
say that better remedies are not to
bc found in the medicine chest, but
when stricken down by cholera (and
it always comes suddenly, unless
prompt measures are taken there is
no more hope for the patient than if
he had one of Arabi's iron pills in
his stomach. The doctor is not
always at had; my remedy is nearly
always so,-and, as the advertise.
ments say, "ask for no other and
see that you get it."
Here is matter for your military
men to think over. The scarcity of
candidates for cavalry commissions
here is causing serious alarm at
headquarters. That steps of some
kind will be taken for obtaining
proper flow of candidates for COM
missions in the cavalry there can be
no doubt. There are plenty Of can
didates for infantry commissions,
but not for the cavalry. Why?
Because the expenses in cavalry
regiment are so great as to shut out
that branch of the service to all but
men with large private income.
Of the candidates for infantry COM
missions, there are many who would
select serving in the cavalry, if the
expenses were not so extravagant.
Competitive examinations and exam
nations for promotion may be re-
moved altogether, yet it is doubtful
whether any perceptible increase of
candidates for cavalry commissions
would result. Of late years young
men of property have taken to trade,
while parents see that the social
position conferred in these days by
military rank is no equivalent for
the heavy outlay of a cavalry COM
mission. The deficiency of candi-
dates for the cavalry arises in a
great measure from a social cause.
There is little doubt that il expenses
in the field artillery were increased
there would be just rs many vacan-
cies in that branch of the mounted
service.
Here is a good idea for your city,
that entertains so many strangers.
Vevey, charming town OH the
Lake of Geneva in Switzerland, has
hitherto being neglected by tourists.
A strong effort is being made to at
tract them and the leading feature
is the formation of a society, COM
prising all the chief inhabitants, fol
the establishment of the town and
its environs. They impress upor
the tradesmen, the necessity for mo-
deration in prices and civllity tc
strangers. l hope they will succeed
in their well-conceived efforts.
