the French troops during the marches
and msn1uvres that were held during
the intensely hot weather Of the past two
weeks an inquiry into the circumstance
was ED by order OF the minister Of war.

could have been postponed with no de-
triment to the service until the weather
became cooler.
The court recommends that the officers
who were responsible for the holding OF
tho man9uvres during such terribly hot
weather should be retired. In accord
snce with this recommendation two gen.
erals and one colonel have been placed on
tho retired list.

The Most Costly Fur.

No, sealskin is not the most costly
fur, nor nearly so. A skin of sea otter,
so small that you might carry it away
in your hat, is worth two hundred and
fifty dollars If IL is a good specimen.
One very seldom sees this beautiful fur.
which is of the deepest black, studded
with silver hairs, as Russians, who have
