The Future of Armies.

Small and large armies have each had their
day. Tho present age Is one Of large masses
Of fairly trained soldiers. but IL is by no
means certain TO me that the time may not
yet come again when all nations will once
moro resort to small standing armies OF the
most highly trained and disciplined soldiers.
We may find that the soldier, to be at his
best, or to be oven thoroughly efficient, will
require such long and, above all things, such
constant training, that an army consisting
of people In arms will be impossible In
fact, we may find out by and by that COM
parativeiy small standing army Of carefully
selected men, the flower OF the nation, highly
skilled In all manly exercises, in all military
asEs, ma Kept IN cohsrai,s st-ts Cd iperfect
training, Is moro effective weapon for
fighting purposes than the slow moving and
more or less unwieldy armies Of the present
day.
It Is only by deep study of military his
tory, Of the military arts and sciences in all
their phases. that the heaven born genius can
To converted into the successful commander.
Not even Jomini was more thoroughly con-
versant with all the great campaigns of
Caesar, Hannibal Terenne, Marlborough and
Frederick the Great than Napoleon was Yet
what Is the lesson the history Of the Ameri-
can war teaches usi All those whose names
will be forever remembered in connection
with 1t by the English speaking race through
out the world were educated soldiers. Lee
and Grant, Stonewall jackson, Sherman,
Mcclellan, Sheridan, Longstreet, Johnston,
Hill, and a host Of others, whose names are
and win long be household words In their
own states, were all graduates Of West Point,

~ should like to have you, warden, trace
for me convict's course from the time he is
sentenced until he is set to work here.n
'sWell, let me see; that is easy for starter.
We will, as you suggest, suppose the man or
woman has received his or her sentence. The
crimes or misdeneanors for which they are
sentenced are chiefly petit larceny, intoxica-
ton and assault in the third degree. Prisoners
arc divided into two classes: the short
termers as we call them, or those who have
been sentenced for minor oifenses, and the
long termers, or those who have been con-
victed Of graver crimes. All, however, have
to go through the same course after sentence.
From the courts they are brought here In the
prison van. Upon arrival they are ushered
into my Office and the following questions are
asked them. How old are your Where were
you borne What Is your occupationq Can
you read and writer Are you married or
singlep Have you ever been In prison be-
forer To the last question, unless the person
has chnncod to have been here before, the
answer Is invariably no. The questions
answered, the prisoners are searched and
their valuables, If they have any, taken from
them and put In the safe, where they are
kept until their release, when they receive
them again; then suits Of prison clothing,
black and white striped for the men and blue
for tho women, arc given to them and they
are taken to the bath houses. There they
are bathed and afterward tho men are
shaved and have their hair cut. The cloth
ing which they woro In. II worth saving, is
taken to the smoke house and fumigated
with sulphur, and then put away to be kept
until the prisoners are released. After being
cautioned by the keepers In reference to tho
prison regulations they are assigned to thoir
cells and the next morning put to work.

is one relating to tho inspection of butter for
the repression Of fraudulent dealings. By
this, special persons are authorized to take
samples of butter In any place, whether the
butter is exposed for sale, stored in ware
house or in transit by land or water. No OBJ
stacle is to be thrown in the way Of this, and
all way bills, receipts, bills of lading, or dec
larations must be shown on demand. Each
sample taken is to be subjected to special
examination. Pure butter, mixed butter,
margarine, oleomargalsne, and grease In
tended for consumption, forwarded in

Tho schools Of Greece.

Tho present king, George /, came to the
throne in 1868. Under his reign educational
affairs have moved on faster than ever, until
today there are 1900 elementary schools for
boys attended by 1900 scholars, 27O schools
for girls, attended by 10000 scholars; there
arc over $500 teachers, male and female,
most OF them holding certificates from tho
normal school, 331 secondary schools with
1900 teachers and assistants, and with more
than $4,000 pupils, 35 gymnasiums with 2i0
Instructors and 4,772 pupils, university
with four departments, 100 professors and
e,409 students, half dozen normal schools
which have supplied over 5000 teachers of
late years, a polytechnic school at Athens
with "A instructors and 4S0 pupils, a large
number of privatc.nnd ecclesiastical schhols,
several largo orphanages, as well as night
schools in tho larger places.
In 1886 tho communes gave for primary
education 1905, 600 drachmai, and the gov
ornment 100000; and In the same year the
budget contained 100000 drachmai as the
government contribution to higher and Sec
ondary education Tho effect OF all this
combined effort has been that illitcracy is
rapidly disappearing, and the next genera
ton OF Greeks to a man will know how to

Rumored Reduction of Wages

TcP8KA, Ks, November l -Presi-
dentStrong, of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad, accompanied by
Vice President Goddard, arrived here
to-day from Boston to attend a meeting
of the officers of that road. It is re-
ported that a reduction of 10 per cent
will be made in wages of all the en-
ployees of the road receiving more than
$50 per month. This includes officers,
clerks, conduc ors, collectors, station
agents, etc. This reduction is made to
meet the decline in the business of
the road and to guard against the dis
charge of employees at time when it
would be difficult to secure other en-
ployment,
