THE BRITISH OFFICER.
He Represents All That Is Noblest an'
Bravest in Human Nature.

He Represents All That Is Noblest and
Bravest i'm Human Nature.
Our army has far greater practice in
war than that of any other nation. At
this moment we may be said to have
three little wars on hand, besides hav-
ing a number of officers engaged in the
defense of Suakin, which is besieged by
the Arabs. II there were a temple of
Janus in England it would seldom be
closed, and never for long. While the
armies of other European powers can
only gain annually some insight into
war with the blank ammunition fired
during autumn maneuvers, Queen Vic
toria's soldiers learn their lesson with
ball-cartridge fred in real warfare, and
with almost annually recurring regular
ity. 1t is the varied experience, and
frequent practice in war, provided for
our officers by the nature of our
Understanding empire, which makes
them what believe them to
be-the best in the world. A
far larger proportion of them know the
sensation of being under fire than those
of any other army. Other things be-
sides this frequent practice of war also
contribute to make the English officer
what he is. He belongs to the class
which has at all times been the back
bone of the nation. AS an English gen.
tleman, he is by birth what we believe
to be the representative of all that is
noble, most manly, brave and honorable
in human nature. His innate love of
sport in every form drives him to the
remotest corners of the earth. You will
find him climbing Alpine mountains,
crossing Swiss glaciers, tiger-shooting
in Bengal, hunting lions in equatorial
Africa, or other big game amidst the
SHOWS of Thibet. To ride well TO hounds
is one of his cherished ambitions, and,
as a matter of course, he loves cricket,
polo and all manly out-of-door games.
All these experiences train him
to self-reliance unknown to
the men of other nations In fact, the
British officer is by birth and education
the natural leader of the British private,
who has the same sport-loving instincts.
The officer of to-day is a far better sol
der in every way than his predecessors
of thirty or forty years ago In future
it is intended only to accept men as Off
GERS on probation. The period of this
probation is to be three years, and II at
the expiration of that period, or at any
time within it, the young officer be
found wanting in zeal, energy. ability,
tact or character, he will be ruthlessly
discharged. The nation can not afford
to pay useless officers, and, above all
things, it must not allow them to De in
trusted with the lives of gallant SOL
diers-General Viscount Wolseley, X.
p, ETC., in Harper's Magazine.

JUDGE CCOLEY'S WAY.
How He Hunted Up Evidence Against ,
Railroad Company.

How He Hunted Up Evidence Against n
Railroad Company.
A railroad ticket agent yesterday, in
commenting upon the indiscriminate
cutting by brokers, told this: Judge
Cooley has a way of rounding up the
scalpers that puts stop to their opera
tions in short order. He does not wait
for the railroads to bring in evidence
against them, but just goes out on still
hunt by himself, and generally goes
home with his bag full. The last time
he was in Chicago he dropped in sort OF
incidentally upon one Of the most OBJ
noxious of the brotherhood, and brought
him into camp in manner which gave
the other scalpers cold feet for month.
what can get ticket to New York
for?'' said he, leaning confidentially
over the counter and tipping a wink to
the man behind.
Seventeen" replied the broker,
briskly.
Cant you do any better than that?'
responded Judge Cooley, persuasively.
Well, the broker thought that he could,
and finally arranged to give the Judge
four tickets way down below the legal
rate.
"Well, bring them around to my room
at the Grand Pacific tonight" said the
Judge, Il haven't the full amount with
me- So at the appointed hour the
broker appeared at the rooms Of the
Judge. The Judge received him kind
ly. Hold up your right hand" said he
casually. The broker did so with some
amusement. Now" continued the
Judge, do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
TRUTH"
''Ill be hanged if / do any thing of
the kind" said the broker. as his ex-
preston changed to blank amazement,
and his hand dropped like shot.
.'Oh, guess you will" returned
Judge Cooley with a careless drawl;
there's my friend. the United States
marshal, sitting by my side, and you
will be given over to his custody If you
don't. So, now, sit down in that chair
and tell Judge Cooley, of the Interstate
Commission, all about those tickets you
offered TO sell him below the legal rate
this afternoon. / want to know exactly
how much each road got for them and
your commission"
The broker fell in a limp heap in the
chair, and before he left the room the
Interstate Commerce Commission had
exacted some information which struck
the brokers all in heap the day after.

HUMAN HAPPINESS.
1t Is Secured When Physical and Mental
Labor Are JudIoiousIy Mingled.

1t Is Secured When Physical and Mental
Labor Are Judioiously Mingled.
Work either of the muscles or the
brain, is one of the conditions of human
happiness. Without it there can be no
wholesome enjoyment. The idle man
either seeks a substitute for the healthy
excitemens OF labor in vicious indul-
gence, or degenerates into a being only
a few degrees above the lower animals.
His soul and mind, in the one case, be-
come degraded and debased by false
uses; in the other, they rust within
him, and he is left to the government of
the mere instincts which he possesses
in common with the brute.
The truest life-that most accordant
with our nature-is one in which phys
ical and mental labor are judiciously
mingled, alternating with such recrea-
ton as tends to refresh and renovate
both. Neither constant bodily toll nor
incessant study is advisable. When the
muscles are tired give them a recess
and do little head-work. When both
head and hand are weary, try amuse-
ment-light reading of a wholesome
kind, romp with your chill
dren, IL you have any, social even
ing with 4 neighbor-any thing, in fact,
that may properly be termed innocent
relaxation. This is rational life. 1t is
a sort of life that may be warranted to
wear well, and it will not be clouded
with fits of the blues. He who lives 1t
will be younger in feeling at three
score than the fast man, whose career
has been a gallop after excitement, at
thirty-fve.
IL you belong to the working world,
and eat your bread In the sweat of your
brow, do not fancy that you have, there
fore, no opportunity to enrich your
mind. Labor, thank Heaven, is not SC
ill-paid in this country that the toiler
can not afford to throw down his tools
now and then and cultivate his intel
lect. Two-thirds, at least, of our dis
tinguished men have been farm Ia
borers and handicraftsmen. Very few
of them were college bred" Our com.
mon schools impart all the instruction
necessary to enable their pupils, in
after life, to educate themselves thor
oughly in the higher branches of knowl-
edge. With the foundation thus laid,
what is there that a persevering and
ambitious American can not teach him
self? Nothing, we believe, that the
Let it never be forgotten that our
greatest statesmen, discoveries, invent
ors, scholars and artists have sprung
from the ranks of labor, not from the
silk-stocking classes.-N. Y. Ledger.

ALawsuit of Great Age.

A law suit has just been finished in
Pesth which began in 1T6s, 12l years
ago. The Bishop of Neutra, in North
ern Hungary, died leaving his estate to
his family. They were unable TO take
possession. owing to the Turkish In
vasion at that time. After the invasion
it was found that there were 1000 per-
sons entitled to share. They, being
unable to agree. appealed to the law,
and as a result he expenses Of the law
and administration have swallowed up
the fortune almost entirely, and the
heirs have increased TO more than 1000.
Now that the csse is settled the heirs
will get about IS apiece.-London Times

AS means of prevention it is suggested
that the plants be trained and pruned
in such a manner that plenty Of air and
sunlight will at all times be permitted
to come in contact with the canes. In
all cases canes that have been killed by
the fungus should be removed and de-
stroyed. A solution of sulphate of iron,
two pounds in five gallons of water, has
been recommended to be sprinkled on
the shoots before the buds have started
in the spring. Later on. If there be any
signs of the disease, the Bordeaux MKT

How the Disease Makes It's First Appear
ance-Method of Treatment.
The raspberry is usually hardy in the
Northern States. though occasionally
affected by diseases commonly caused
by long-continued unfavorable climatic
conditions. As a general answer to in
quiries that have been made on the sub
ject it may be said that II the disease
first appears on the canes near the base,
producing small purple spots variously
scattered around it and growing more
minute as they approach the tips and
causing the framework OF the leaves to
show whitish blister-like spots, 1t is
caused by fungus that attacks the
raspberry and blackberry. as shown in
the illustration.
The disease rarely spreads injuriously
during dry weather, but most rapidly
during damp seasons and at times when
moisture collects in drops on the canes.
