The Surgeon and the Sentry.

Army and Navy Review.
An army surgeon was one night an
noyed, by the coughing of the sentry
outside of his tent. Unable to sleep, he
decided that something must he done
for the man, and so compounded him Il
strong and very disagreeable dose of
medicine. Then, going out. he ordered
the man to take.it. The sentry at first
refused politely, and afterward angrily
and emphatically. But the surgeon
sternly insisted Upon his rights. and the
man was finally induced to swallow the
compound. The,result was evidently
sat. sfactory. Tile sound of coughing
ceased in the camp, and the surgeon
went to sleep with the consciousness of
having done a good deed. The next
morning he was summoned by the Off
Ger in command, who said to him:
How is this, sir? hear serious COM
plants about you in relation to the
sentries. One of them has reported
that in the middle of the night you
came out of yourtent and abused him
in the most dreadful manner. He SAID
you made him sw;l ow drink which
must have been poison" The guard
had been relieved. while the surgeon
was compromising his mixture. and he
had cured the wrong man.

oh she said, "Mrs. Archy Lispe-

infection. "Mrs. Cresheim%'
"Yes-Mrs. Cresheim. asked her

Cadogan. My dear soul, Oh the econ

with disgraceful wink. "G-good-by,"
and he nodded and took a step OF two
towards the door.

suggested, chuckling.
Mrs. Cadogan ran round the Die and
caught his collar III her pretty white
hands. Tears stood in her blue eyes,
and her graceless husband stopped in
the act of lighting his cigar to look
down at her with an air OF profound but
humorous tieXibility.
"Dick, dear Di:k?" she said, "don't

"But why?"
"J-justify the existence of the so

the frozen sidewalk, chuckling and
shivering in his fur coat the pleasant,

be snug in bed in five minutes. His key
ran slim and sly into the lock, the door
closed behind him oh hinges Of velvet,

stood in them. On the second-stOry

Afraid to Trust Their soldiers.
London Court Journal.
The French value the secret of their
new magazine rifie--the Lebel- so much
that the troops have been ordered not
to use it when mounting guard or TAX
ing part in maneuVerS. For these pur-
poses their old breechi0aders OF the
1874 type are to be employed. This
plan may or may not prove etfectual in
preventing the Germans from learning
the mystery Of, the Lebel powder,
which eXpiodes noiselessly and without
producing any smoke, but it must have
a perilous tendency to bring about
repetition OF the; state of things which
hindered the French from realizing the
full superiority Of the Chassepot during
their last war with Germany. At the
commencement. of that war thousands
of the French troops did not
even know how to fire their
new rifles. and had to ask for in
structi0ns on that subject. In the pres
ent case the danger is accumulated by
the issue of a new regulation fOrbidding
men to take into account either the
smoke or noise in battle. This is, of

of smoke, will henceforth remain un-
disclosed to the assailantS, and the
practice of forcing the enemy to deploy
by fire from great distance will have
to be abandoned. The more the attack
ing party marches in serried ranks. and
the quicker it advances upon the enemy,
the more fearful will be the losses in
t1icted upon it by the invisible foe.
These are very mumentous changes.

only lead to confusion.
