preliminary ordeal has been pass d through.
the German soldier is subjected to a sy lie m
of espionage, the object of which is to trans
form him into an obedient mach ne, upon
which thoe who make use Of it can thor
oughly rely.
Gen. dc Villenoisy says: @The soldier is
considered to be machine, from which the
largest amount Of service mu t be drawn at
the least expense. He is in>ufiiciently fei
and badly clad, except on days of show and
parade, and when his term OF service Is
over, Le is sent back 70 his family without
money and almost without clothes Every
meens Is considered good that realizes the
slightest profit at his expense" These
profits would seem to be con .ii-rabls. If We
may jud &c from the assertion that certain
reSimental depots contain no less than eight

carefully removed from the persons o.

against the very possibility of promotion

THE separation of orr gin between officers

former would lose portion of their prestige
If there existed the slightest suspicion OF
their having risen from the ranks After a
course of IN truction in the military schools
pupils are admitted to serve in the army as
asplrants to the rank of officers. provided
they belong TO noble family At the eni
of a certain period Of probation. and after
passing an examination. the n pirants are
admitted to the rank of sub-lieutenants, sub
Ject TO the condition that the officers OF the
regiments 10 which they are appointed ac-
cept them as comrades Aspirants may be
excluded from regiments by simple ma
jority vote of officers, no matter what their
qualifications may be"
With respect 10 compulsory military SER
vice it would seem to exit only on paper
The writer says: The system OF obi gatory
military service gives annually, on paper.
400, 600 recruits to the German army, tus Of
these only 10000 are actually enrolled
The rest, contrary to the opinion received III
France, contributed in no manner TO the
military defense % the country. As TO tho
part OF the contingent actually callei to
arms, the greatest latitude is given TO the
military authorities, who summon and
exempt from service whomsoever they
please.

A "Sweet" Time.

On Monday evening, says the New
York Sun, the sanitary authorities Of
that city seized 1000 pounds of candy
TOYS, flowers and leaves whose bright
colors were the result of mineral dyes,
being part of the stock Of Scbiebel 4
Elberding. Truck were engaged, aud
.he stuff was loaded upon il In bulk,
the package being broken. Some of The
candies became scattered on tho ground,
aud a few investigating small boys
found out what 1t was. The Lews
spread like wild-hre, and small boys,
as well AS those of larger growth, we're
soon present in the numbers and spirit
of mob. The effort to drive them
away was met by shower OF stones,
aud the enemy became so bold that
handfuIs Of the candies were grabbed
from the trucks when that Oh the
ground had been cleaned up. The board
of health party had to send to the Fifth.
street police station for asquad Of police
before they could complete the seizure
and get away with the contrabaEd stuf.
1t was then sprinkled cOpiously with
car5olic acid and other repelient havor-
ings, carted to the offal dock and
dumDed.

An Extraordinary Light.

ders having been received TO furnish
the British Board Of Admiralty power
full lights for use in the Portsmouth and
Chatham dock-yards. IL Is lO0, 900 can
die Illuminating pOwer--hfty-tbree
times greater power Than An ordinary
electric lamp for street lighting. IL Is
designed to be used in night attacks and
in discovering submarine torpedoes. A
forty-hOrse power ePgiDei Is required To
produce the light; the carbons used are
two and a-half inches thick, the inten-
sity OF heat generated between the car
bons is 800, 700 degrees, one-ninetieth Of
the estimated heat OF the sun. IL Is cal
culated that, with an ordinary reflector,
a CLEAN OF light can De cast so powerful
that person fifteen miles away can see
to read by il. Yet, It is considered
doubtful whether in dense fog 1t can
be distinguished at greater distance
than an ordinary gas or an oil light.

being seen from the thicket- Once In,
We worked rapidly down to the point
opposite the thicket. At the edge there
was nothing but low bushes about seven
or eight feet high, no tree half large
enough for US TO have climbed into to
shoot from.
at was foolish thing to do, sup
pose, but i determined 10 stand right
there, aud for once get good, fair shot.
The trackers thought it very risky, but
they promised to stand by me whatever
happened. So took my position in the
edge of the bushes, posted the trackers
close behind me, gave the signal, aud
the beat Began.
Fighting tigers on foot is anxious
business, and had hard work TO keep
my hands steady while We watched.
But we had not long 10 wait. Five min
utes after the beat began, We saw the
tigers face peering cautiously ont OF
the bushes at the end Of the thicket OPP
posi:e us. He saw the men in the trees
and felt that he could safely pass be-
tween them. He walked out OF cover,
and skulking low among the stunted
bushes, at a swift trot made straight for
where we were standing. He got over
the ground very rapidly, glancing sus-
piciously right and left, mouth trlfe
open to breathe freely. AT last We were
face to face! | covered him from the
moment he left the thicket, aud when
he was within forty yards OF us | aimed
at his chest To make sure, and Hired.
Down he went in AN instant, roaring
and grumbling horribly, bling and
clawing in every direction. Quick as
possible gave him the second barrel,
and tried 10 reload. ! could scarcely
manage it, for by that time my hands

never saw men SO nearly tickled To
death AS these fellows were. They
crowded around that tiger, and abused
him frightfully in the most absurd
ways, putting dirt into his month, beat
ing him with their sticks, and calling
him by all the bad names they could
think of.
after they had relieved their feel
ings in such ways, they made litter OF
poles, put the carcass upon II, and
started for Doraypore. Ii was tri-
umphal march. The people fiocked out
of the villages we passed, to see the
dead man-eater and to praise the sahib
for his grand skill, and above all to
make sure the tiger they had so long

Courage. Faint Heart.

Dear Lord, am so weary Of all,
fain would rest me for q little space
Is there no rock where the cool shadows fall,
That may cast me down and hide my face
toll, strive, sore burdened and afraid;
The road is broken and the way is long;
And the weak stat whereby my steps are staid
Bends like a reed. when bitter winds are
strong.
/ shrink in terror from the endless task;
look with horror DER the barren land;
And ask. as only hopeless hearts can ask,
The meaning Of my days to understand.
Such was the moaning OF my weary soul,
Ready to sink upon life's weary way,
When soft whisper TO my spirit stole,
Earnest and sad, and thus 1t seemed TO say:
Weary? And who Ia not,
That bears lifes burdens faithfully? Press on
A little longer. When your sun goes down,
You win have reached the spot
Where you may rest.
Afraid9 Afraid OF what9
What does earth hold that can at all compare
With Gods omnipotencef Trust, then, to his
care.
Make faith In Him your staff
1t will not bend.
Burdened? But, sure, you know,
Without the toll, the strife, and weary days
You would not long for rest. These are Gods
ways
10 win you from the world below,
UP TO His rest.
You shrink? o. coward heart
You've but days work In a day to do;
The meaning OF all days you soon will know; ;
Your task lies with each part,
To do II well.
Hopeless? When Heaven remains?
see--you are not willing to be led;
You would know why and where you go. and
dread
The trackless, barren plains
Your weariness doth show.
Your weakness, child OF dust.
And how much help you need. the way
Is hid but where your steps might stray,
Gods care begins. Then trust,
And He will lead.
