One OF the most important things il
Bavaria is the army. Soldiers fairly
crowd the streets, and drums and the
tramp of cavalry are heard from
morning until night, making a peace
full American think that it is a perpet
ual Fourth of July G. A. r. reunion
And such soldiers as they are, too!
Big, broad shouldered, erect; moving
with the precision of c]ockwork and
the force of @ steam hammer, never a
careless movement or q sighted
motion. Although there are so
many on the street they never
omit the salute, and even
wien the two meeting are on the op-
posite sides OF the street. or across
square, the hand is put to the visor
Of the cap and kept there as though
glued to it until they are passed by
several PAGES. There are several drill
grounds in the city, and one can watch
the drilling for hours without firing.
Complicated maneuvers and drills
never heard of in America are per-
formed with absolute accuracy, not a
step out of time, and, more remarka-
BILE still, not a gun out of its proper
angle. do not know whether the
features are modelled after some
official standard or not, but looking
along the line the faces seem to coin
eide as we'll as the arms and not a.
snub nose or a Roman breaks the
uniformity. No one after seeing the
French and Italian soldiers can doubt
that these men could march to Paris
or Rome with as much ease as though
they were on a picnic excursion, mind
ing their foes as little as they would
flies or ants. The drilling they
have does not consist alone in a
straight line and handling musket,
but they have from four to six hours
OF the hardest kind ofexercise, running,
jumping, turning on a pole, climbing
ladders inside and out, scaling barri-
cades and earthworks, climbing ropes,
walking across bitches on slippery
poles, lifting each other over high
board fen yes and bayonet exercise, all
done in order and with military exact
ness, superintended by officers who
can, AID often do, go through all the
exercise themselves. A very notice
able popularity in their movements
is the step; the leg is brought forward
and Strengthened with a jerk and the
weight comes down on the toe instead
OF the heel. A friend calls it the Ter.
ry step" 1t looks ridiculous in asin-
gle soldier, but it gives an appearance
OF great force and decision TO a COM
pany.

Corpulencc.

A correspondent, who, without any
known organic or functional trouble,
is greatly inconlmoded by saperhuous
fat,-he wrongly calls it fesh,-re-
quests an article on the subject.
In cases of obesity, there is q def
cheney ofoxygen in the blood, ,eitherab-
E:solutely, or relatively to the amount
OF food. Excess of food tends to pro-
duce it, and yet some are >eorpulent
on q spare diet. Lack OF exercise
Iavors it, by lessening the oxidation
'of the tissues. It is also produced by
/ disease which diminish the number 81

latter that absorb oxygen from the
inspired air and convey it to the It's.
sues.
According 70 Qlss,in, very cerpulent
people shave large hearts and small
lungs. This may help to explain the
deficiency Of oxygen. 1t has also
gate recently been proved that

corpulent persons are:apt to be indis-
posed to tactive exeaeise. For the
same reasony the heart is rendered
feeble and lis easily disturbed. The
deficiency of,oxygen tends to the Cor
petion of uric acid, and hence to the
production Of govt. The very corpal-
lent are specially liable to various:
forms OF congestion, and acute dis
eases are apt to have an .lnfavorable
course.
In treating the corpulent, regard
must be had to the fact that their.
heart is weak. The main reliance for
reducing the obesity is on diet and ex-
eneise. The latter iBcreases the power
OF the blood to take np oxygen. The

a moderate allowance Of butter. Al

The Minister'S Mistake.

The ancient town Of Medford, the
seat of the old Lawrence distillery, has
for many years been famous for the
excellent quality OF it's spirituous pro-
duct, which has been attributed to the
purity OF ats water and the pains taken
in preparing and refining it. So great
is it's reputation among the trade that
the term "Old Medford" is now ap-
piled to all the choice grades of rum
improved by age. But the late Rev.
Charles Brooks, an Orthodox clergy
man, who many years ago was the es-
teemed and talented pastor OF large
society III that town, was IMMERSED in
bar-room literature, and a connoisseur
only in communion wine So it hap
pened one time that he was induced to
attend a special town meeting, called
to consider some matter OF local in
terest to the citizens; and the propo-
sition before it meeting his cordial APP
probation, he got up and made a
rousing sweech IN it's favor, just before
the vote was taken, winding up with
the emphatic declaration, II do love
old Medford." of course this patri-
otto sentiment asgreeted with rounds
of applause. mingled, however, with
such boisterous laughter as to irritate
the unsophisticated parson, and led
him to think that his sincerity was
discredited. So he turned fercely up-
on his auditors and exclaimed with no
little warmth:
!, '.AVell, I Go, gentlemen, whether you
believe 1T or not y
This brought down the house with
uproaIaous merriment and cries OF
Good for you," eve don't doubt
your word, sir, EDO you take it
straight Are you going to shout?"
And it was not until one of his parish.
toner's came to the rescue that the be-
wililered parsoE was able to compre-
bend the misconstruction put upon

In New Zealand Further Particulars Of tho
Volcano.
San Francisco, August O,-The steamer
Marlposa, which arrived last evening from
Australia, brings further details OF the
great volcanic disturbances which lately
occurred in New Zealand. Heavy earth.
quakes continue in the Tarawora district,
and severe earthquakes continue to be felt
in the Rotodi district. A relief party sent
out reported that Lake Tarawera had
fallen considerably. The oil bath at
Whakarewareda was thfo wing up stones
and mud TO height Of twenty feet, and
the great boiling lagoon, Papatagini, would
suddenly rise as much as two feet and
then as quickly fall. A similar phenome-
non was observed at Kuirrau Cauldron,
which would rise two feet In half an hour,
then as suddenly return TO It's normai
level.
Mr.. Dlnsey, the telegraph officer in
charge OF Rotorus station, near where the
eruptions and earthquakes were heaviest,
reported on June 26th that volcano No. /
was dead, and Nos. land 3 were steaming.
No. 4 was still throwing up mud. Lake
RotomRhana was scomparatively quiet, aud
only one geyser In the center was PLAYING.

active than they had been. The itnmense
crevasse created between White Terrace
and Tarawera continued to steam, and the

throwing out volumes Of black smoke and
steam.
The New Zealand Herald says: ION
