The Weapons and Uniforms of the Con-
stabulary are to be fixed and defined by
Regulations, which the Governor will issue,
they having been previously adopted by the
Colonial Council.
The Weapons are to be of the best pattern
repeating Rifles, with Sword Bayonets, and
Side Arms, and a Gatling or a Garner quick
firing machine Gun, one for each town for
the use of the men in case Of emergency.
The Uniforms should be Of the best mate
rial, dark blue serge, suitably embroidered,
with white cross betting, the Helmets to be
of Cork, and broad in the leaf to protect from
the heat of the sun.
The Mounted Men at Kings Hill should
also have one of their Uniforms made as q
Riding suit, with Brooches and Boots.
Only Head Constables and ConstabIeS are
to be furnished Uniforms at public expense.
1t is proposed that the necessary compl-
ment of men for the Constabulary be recruit
ed from among the small farming class IN
Denmark, they being able to read and write,
having good characters, ard to be a certain
height and measurement.
The rules now followed in recruiting men
for the Military service, are to be followed
in regard to the Constabulary, only that the
men should not be employed with right OF
return passage, or for q certain number OF
years, but on (6) Six months notice from
either side, after one years service.
In case of emergency the Governor must
nave authority to employ extraordinary
sworn Constables, but the Colonial Councils
vote must be obtained within q months time,
so as to avoid q continuance OF perhaps
unnecessary expense.
The men should be located in the respec-
tive Forts, proper alterations should be made
at C~hristian8ted and Kings Hill to meet the
requirements.
The public buildings now used for Military
purposes should be disposed of at best
advantage.
All the inventory and material now on
hand and requisite for the Constabulary
should be transferred to the latter.
The men should have no other duty but
that of Constabulary.
1t has been proposed that a Groom should
be employed, one in each town, in order that
the Constablos should not be taken from
duty.
The labor of the Prison Gangs to be used
in finding forage for the Horses, from the
different grounds belonging to the public.
1t is considered that the mel should be
literally paid, giving them, as shown IN the
Draft-$24.O 90 to the Foot, and $4,000 per
month to the Mounted Constables, besides
the men having no house-rent to pay; also
to have their Uniforms, Boots, Shoes and
Water Proof Coats free.
The ordinary fixed expenses as emu
merated above would amount to $26,O44
to this must be added,
for $50 Uniforms 4 $1,000 ...... S2,4OOOO

Amount expended for the Mill
tary and Police etc. $780,. 874, 10000
Showing as result a Saving OF. .S42, $3.50
from which however must be deducted the
amount for salaries to Policemasters and
Police Assistants as we'll as unavoidable
Pensions putting these items very high at
$4,000, the ultimate annual saving would be
$4,000.
This is of very great moment just now
when an opportunity Of obtaining favorable
markets for our Produce, promises to open
Up, if we remove our Export Duty, $4,000
pa.
1t is, then, clearly demonstrated how a very
large saving can be positively accomplished,
and at the same time decidedly strengthening
the reliability and efficiency of the service,
and guaranteeing a secugy Of life and pro-
perty to at least equal rs great an extent
as at present enjoyed.

OsTRICHEs AT Los ANGELES.

One ofthe first places to which the sight
seer repairs in Los Angeles is Washington
garden. Last autumn about forty fine,
large ostriches were brought here, and
they form the chief attraction of the gar
den. In spite of the injunction, 'Do not
feedthc BIRDS, painted in large letters on
the fence outside the enclosure in which
they are kept, the temptation to disregard
it seems to be great, for very little atten-
ton is paid to the prohibition. When the
writer had the pleasure of looking at these
birds they had been plueked only a few
days before, and a more awkward, clumsy,
%ungainly set of creatures would be hard to
imagine.
1t was rare sport to feed them 18th
oranges; to see them come to the fence,
look at you with their curious, snake-like,
expressionless eyes, and then, curving
their long necks, dextrousIy snatch an
orange from the fingers or umbrella tips Of
the more timid of their wonld-be benefac-
tors. The interesting part now comes, as
the progress of the orange (which has been
swallowed whole can be traced all the
way down the three feet or more of neck
that interyenes between the throat and the
body of the bird. Round and round goes
the orange, in true corkscrew style, until
it finally disappears beneath the bunch of
feathers which grows On the chest of The
bird.
There is no end to the ostrich capacity
One man, curious to see how much a bird
would eat, selected one, and, after gather
ing from the surrounding trees a number
of oranges, proceeded to feed his bird. He
gave him thirty-six oranges, nearly filling
the long, slender throat, so that the animal
finally looked as if his neck was composed
of a succession of tumors. In a short time,
however, the oranges had worked and
screwed themselves down, and there stood
the bird, his long neck stretched out, his
whole attitude m of expectancy, and, like
Oliver Twist, he wanted more.-Los Ange-

DEDICATED BY

The Protestant Methodist Church of
Canton, Kas., lately erected a handsome
new church building, and invited the Rev.
Annie II. Shaw to dedicate it. They asked
her whether she could not also help them
to raise the five-hundred-dollar debt on
the church. Miss Shaw said she had no
experience in raising money, but she would
do what she could. Accordingly, when
she came to speak, she told the people that
she should not think Of offering any friend
a gift with a mortgage On it, and she
thought the debt of five-huudred dollars
ought to be paid off before they offered
that church to God. The money was raised
then and there, the debt paid off, and Miss
Shaw dedicated a church with no mortgage
on it. This is believed to be the first or
tnodox church ever dedicated by a woman.

The saloon is Going.

BY taking cnrsory glance over the ma
ton. without confning the scrutiny to
any one place, it is very apparent that
the wLiskey power is steadily losing its
strong grip, notwithstanding its organized
workers with their lavish use Of money and
intimidating course toward the manag.
ing politicians. Eigh license is their last
hope, and the temperance men are making
that poker SO hot that it blisters the hands
that essay to grasp it. When the high Ii.
cense dodge was started the poker was en-
ly brought to gentle heat but prohibition
sentiment is crystalized so firmly every
where hat the hot end of high license is be
ing brought to white heat. Where local
option exists, the people seem to rise en-
mass and overwhe.m the courts with petit
tions against license. Even the stubborn
old judges who are the slaves of precedent
haye caught the infection which inspires
the temperance movement and are denying
the applications for license without hearing
an argument in their support.
The decision of the U. s. Supreme Court
against the claims set up by the liquor men
in prohibition states for loss Of property
has proven most disheartening blow.
Large breweries and distilleries are ut once,
closed up in prohibition states. and the
rich owners are compelled to sell their
buildings for what they can get or convert
them to some better use, and ship their
plant 10 some more congenial states. In al.
most every state fight is being organized
or is in progress to'add prohibition clause
to the constitution. Members of CongI ess
will soon be sent 10 the Capital TO agitate
and work for an amendment by the nation.
ri constitution prohibiting the liquor trade

the age which is growing SO very rapidly

the masses, and large desertions among the

Where prohibition has existed for two or
three years, the people refuse 10 give it up.
If defeated by sally Of the saloon, they

contradictory laws strikes. reHecting men
