MANLY SPORTS AND EXERCISES.


Not the least interesting or noticeable
feature Of the Indian seryice is the great at
tention given to manly sports AMI exercises
Every opportunity is furnished for the de
velopment Of the physique and for acquir
Ing skill In the amusements, Of which the
most daring and robsbly the most popu al
is tent pegging. This consists in riding al
full! tilt and taking with the lance rather
sLOrt and broad tent p g from the ground
and you may be a little surprised when
tell you that Gen. Roberts led off in this
sport, and with his team OF four made the
best score Of the season. There were numer
Gus other mounted and foot sports, su as
lance against sword, sword against bay yonet
sword against sword, bayonet against bay,
onet, tent pegging with sword, cutting lem
Gus with swords, tug Of war, foot racing,
and acrobatrc and gymnastic feats
The march past of the entire force,
some 3h, 100, closed the camp of exercis. 1t

By the time the cavalry and horse and foot
artillery had passed the reviswing po mt,
the dark soil had been churned into the con

the native infantry came by, many of
whom wore only the slipper, there was a

A Wonderful scarf-PiD.

Simon Wolf, former Consul Gem
cral to Egypt. when he was here last
week showed very beautiful scarf
pin which was given to him by one OF
the higher officials in Egypt. This pin
is made of the body Of scarabee.
This, in plain words, is petrified
Egyptian beetle. 1t is over 1000 years
old. 1t has cutting upon the back
representing one of the high priests
standing before the king. The color of
this scarabee is q faint greenish blue.
The marks of the beetle are as perfect
in this petrifaction. This beautiful OBJ
ject was found in the tomb OF ono OF
the Pharoahs. 1t Is ono OF the most
perfect specimens of these very rare
and much coveted relics. Mr.. Wolf
says that he was offered f1,000 for 1t
by the British Museum. A number OF
people have tried to tempt Mr.. Wolf to
part with this keepsake, but he refuses
to give it up for friendship or money.
The grateful Egyptian official who
gave it to him had been befriended by
Mr.. Wolf to this extent. The Khedivc
was very friendly to MIR. Wolf, and II
was through the influence of the latter
that the Khediye gave the ribbon of the
Legion of Honor to the ambitious
Egyptian official. He in his burst Of
gratitude for this favor pressed this
royal present upon Mr.. Wolf. One eve
ming when Mr.. Wolf was exhibiting
this jewel a beetle identical in size
shape, and marking lighted upon the
dark coat sleeve of gentleman who
moment before had been looking at Mr..
VOLTS prize. This Saratoga beetle was
a perfect specimen of the Egyptian
scarabee, save that the American beetle
was light yellow in color. tits possible
that the process of petrifaction, how
ever, would have changed this color.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., has

the land known as Merry Mount farm,

the land for improvement for tan years

Her Msjcs,y's Marine Palace.

Osborne is on the othr side of the
Medina, in which small river the VAN
guard and several other of Nelson 8
line of battle-ships were built. 1t is
the only marine residence of her majes-
ty, who acquired it by purchase in 1910
Of q gentleman named Blackford. The
public have no right of access to the
property, as atWindsor, ami the estate
is so situated that its privacy is easily
protected. 1t comprises five thousand
acres of park and forest land, with a
long sea frontage. A considerable
breadth has been cleared of trees, in
order to give an unbroken view of the
water, but from Cowcs and from Ryde
little is to be seen of the stately palace
beyond the SUBMITS OF the flag-towers,
112 feet high, pecping above the trees.
Within the building there is fine col
lection of statuary and paintings.
The queens love OF retirement is
aptly administered in this choice re-
treat, and in the laying out of the park
great care has been taken not to destroy
the natural aspect. For instance, the
carriage drives are so narrow that, in
order to prevent the meeting of two
vehicles on a road where neither could
pass, and one would have to return. a
system of signaling has been adopted,
and the white arms of the semaphorea
may be distinguished upon little knobs
mt cross roads. Osborne is q contrac-
ton of Oysterbourne, the Medina hay-
ing enjoyed some notoriety from the ex-
cellence of its natives.
On the Osborne estate there is man.
sion humbly called a cottage, belonging
to the queen, who places it at the dis
posal of the empress of the French

Simplicity for the Simple.

"Carl," of St. John, New Brunswick.
writes me that the best poem ever
written by an American is Sidney Lam
ier's "Sunrise. He pronounces it ''all
music and true poetry. ." He then adds:
..Please say what you think of poor
dear Lanier and his wonderful genius. "
With regard to the first part of CARTS"
communication shall say nothing. De

second part must be quite frank. > As
southerner L have tried my best to
admire Lanier, who, being Maryland
Ell, was countryman of mine. But /
have never succeeded in doing SO. The
reason simply is that never could un-
derstand him. For me poetry is mu-
sic. But that music is the song of the
bird, the laps of the wave, the sigh OF
the breeze, the hum of the insect, the
simmer of the leaves, the cosmic muir
muir of sunset. Clear, elemental. /

go into my soul spontaneously. If you

colate through the eye to my innermost
psychic depths. None of your alge-
braic verse for me. l do not want to
have headache after trying to de-
cipher poem. When ] am tired in
body or sore at heart invariably read
verse. Then get soothed, exhilarated,
or melted into tears. There is nature.
My true poet has gone through the
same experiences as l have, and he has
voiced these on his harp. of y thousand,
strings. 1 appeal to him in all SIM
plicity, and he responds in the same
spirit. 70 the likes of me Lanieri is. in

They had no bodices or boots to squeeze them
Their wine was all imported then directly

F. B. Thurber, in an address before
the Nieeteeuth Century Club, took a
very pessimistic-that is to say,
gloomy-view of the. future of our
country. Our forefathers, he said,
when they polished primogenlture and
entail, supposed they had put a stop
to the accumulation of great wealth
in a few hands. A hundred years ago
worldly possessions were almost en-
tirely in landed property. Riches
consisted of houses, lands, and farms.
When the head of the family died,
the division ofhis property among
his heirs prevented any concentration
of wealth for more than few genera
tions. But within the last fifty years
new forces have come into play and
great wealth is now represented by
railway bonds and shares and by the
stock of Incorporated companies. The
Van!erbilts and Jay Goulds own very
little real estate, but they are richer
than any rich land-holders in any
part of the world. The railroad char
ter is practically perpetual, and the
owners of the cooperation can keep adj
ding to their possessions for centuries
ahead. Hence, the aim of our fore
fathers to enforce distribution of
boarded wealth on the death of every
head of a family has been evaded.
Hence, Vanderbilt, with his SOC, 600, :
600, and Jay Gould, with his $150, 900, :
600. and literally hundreds of other
millionaires, have absorbed the
wealth of the general community by
the use they make OF corporate enter
prises, and are still adding to their
possessions. These rich men,. or
rather the corporations they manage,
are corIupters of the state. They buy
up legislatures, manipulate courts,
and use their money to bride voters
Unpopular elections. Hence they are
a source of danger to the Republic.
Even though we keep up the forms OF
popular government. while few men
exercise all the power and own most
of the money eff the community, we
are, in fact, 8 plutocracy. The remedy
for this state ofthings will be difficult
to devise. The communist has his
solution of the problem; but the
various forms of socialism are not
popular or likely to bein the United
States. Still tits fact there is no
gainsaying that in no country is there
such chance for the rich to become
richer as there isin the United States

The English have annexed Burmah
to their Eastern empire. They had
no real grievance, but from COM
mercial point of view it was desirable
that potentially rich empire should
be open to commerce, so they picked
quarrel with the King Thebaw, set
their armies in motion, and in a few
weeks time. the work was done.
British commanders seem to have q
knack for speedily overcoming the
resistance of semi-barbarous nations.
The French are not so lucky, as is
shown by their bloody and costly wars
In Madagascar and Cochin-China,
and the only serious check the Eng
lish have received for a century past
was in the Soudan.- Their repulse by
the Beers can hardly be put In the
same category, as the latter were of
the Caucasian race, and had the Tories
been In power in England instead of
the Liberals, the Beers would have
been overcome in time. The anneXa-
