THE FRENCH ARMY.
It II the One Place in Which Social RAM
Counts for Nothing.

It Il the One Place in Which Social Rank
Counts for Nothing.
The first and most salient point in
the French army seen from within is
| the mixture OF social ranks Now, this
| mixture, which might IN many societies
be source of weakness, may be said
here to be one of the principal causes
| of the recuperation of the country. It
is, believe, a unique experiment to
lay the military law equally upon the
shoulders of every citizen, OF whatever
rank he may be.
The nearest approach to the French
universal CONSUMPTION is to be seen in
Germany, but even there the absolute
equality of men before the law is far
from holding good. Promotion from
the ranks is almost unknown; the rich,
who can afford a university education
for their sons and who can gay q sum
OF money to the government, exempt
them from all serious soldering. These
young men pass a few weeks in bar
racks, and afterward attend a specified
time of drill, while they are allowed to
lodge outside quarters, and to follow
their ordinary civil occupations in the
university. This lasts, if am not mis-
taken, for one year, after which term
they pass into the reserve as officers.
Under the French law every man
without exception serves in the army
for at least one year. During that year
he is merged entirely in the private
soldier. His social rank. if he has one,
is completely ignored: the officers who
command him regard merely his eff
cheney and his faithfulness to duty, and
if any difference is made between a
man of some education and the peas
ants around him, it is in the direction
of putting him into the Peloton din
struction-a species of school drill
where ne may earn in six months or
year the grade of corporal, but in
which, On account of the extra duties
the place involves. the life is harder in
manual labor and has less free time
than that of the unambitious trooper
outside
1t must not be inferred from this
that the peloton Construction stands
apart. 1t is held merely during the
hours which are otherwise free time.
that man of a richer class than MS
fellows necessarily belong to it, or that
men of such class form the ma jority
of its members There may be in a
company or battery from six to eight
eleves caperaux, and in whole regi-
ment less than that number of gentle
men.
The elevation to the grade of reserve
officer is also proceeded with in man.
ner very different from that obtaining
in Germany. The places in the reserve
are given in part to retired officers of
the active army and in part to those
men who have followed the Peloton
d'Instruction for at least one year, and
who at the end of that time are COM
petent to pass a special examination

Sc JUST TO THE CHILDREN.
A Plea for Fair Treatment Toward the
Little Ones.


There is probably no one sense strong
er in children than that of justice. No
tice the scorn with which they speak
of the companion who cheats, their
contempt for the boy or girl who does
not play fair"
Learn to recognize this sense of jus-
tice and appeal to il. for il is one of tho
most valuable clements of noble ckar-
acter.
Do not put off your boy with subter-
fuges and lame excuses. He can see
through them quite rs readily as an
older person. Indeed, children are often
more clear-sighted than their elders,
and if they once lose confidence in you
your influence is gone
Teach them to trust you. and trust
them in return. and when they have
committed fault do not lose YOUR tenn
per. but with sweet rcasonableness"
help them TO see the Justice OF what
ever punishment their behavior war
rants.
II You have taught your children 10
love and respect YOU half the battle is
won, for j assume that they win love
you as n matter of course. But 10 gain
their respect You must not only de-
serve it, but You must demand IL. You
must let them see that you have rights
as well as they. which must not be
overlooked or ignored.
Not long ago / read Of an incident
which occurred in a railway car that u
well worth remem boring:
"A mother and son entered the car
and were unexpectedly greeted by
friend Of the mother. The friend was
only going from one way station TO the
next. while the others were ON a long
Journey. There happened to be bu.
one vacant double seat in the car, and
into this the boy slipped. taking the
seat next the window. His mother,
eager TO improve the ten minutes With
her friend, asked her son TO give up
his seat and take another for that lit
tie time, SO that she could sit with her
friend
''No, I won't; because 7 want 20 sis
by the window. and all the other seat
have people already at the windows"
But, darling. only for ten minutes,
and then you can sit by the window ali
day"
NO ! won't 20. Iwant TO sit by tho
window now"
But, dear, not TO give mamma
pleasure?"
''No."
Not for just ten little minutes when
mamma wants 80 much to talk 20 her
friend. and you can sit by the window
all day loug?'
Mo- with impatient emphasis And
in spite Of humble cntreaty from the
mother and good-naturcd urging from
the friend that home-nurtured biz Of
selfshncss kept his place. the mother
never dreaming OF insisting on the
right and courteous thing. but mer-
muriny gently: bobby does enjoy
looking out Of the window" When
seven-year-old Bobby becomes Robert
the husband his sad little wife viii
wonder: why Is Il that men have &C
little tenderness for their wives?'
To teach courtesy and gentleness By
being courteous and gentle: TO teach
justice BIZ being Just. not only 70
others, but 90 ourselves. and to be IN
all respects what we wish orr children
TO be, Is something which we msy all

The epidemic of various diseases now
raging in several of the eastern and
southern states gives emphasis to the
fact that Kansas is exempt from these
calamities. There have been cases OF
typhoid fever and kindred diseases, but
never in epidemic form. This is true
especially of the central and eastern por-
lions of the state. The high attitudes,
together with the disagreeable winds of
this section, are perpetual safeguard
against miasmatic and pulmonary dis
Eases. Thousands of people, now lesi-
dent in Kansas, are here upon the advice
of physicians. What greater induce
ment he's any state to offer to the afliict-
ed, or to the homeseeker.

The announcement that Judge Horn

What this country still needs. needs
more than free silver, more than protec-
tive tariff or free trade, more than re-
turn of confidence, is more talk. Con-
gress is doing something in that direction
hut not enough. Mesdames Lease and
Diggs and Granny Weaver are improv-
ing the time also but there is still lack
of talk. The constitution should be
amended providing for couple more or
30 of congresses and our old women
bhould all receive more encouragement.

The great body of the Populist party
in Kansas are practically safely tended
in the Democratic party, the middle OF
the road fellows is all that is left of the
real Populist movement. The Democratic
leaders who still confront the situation
under the name of Fusion have undoubt-
eddy strengthened their party, but neither
the name "Fuson ticket or ''CitizeD's
ticket" any longer misleads anyone but
the most dull biggotted and ignorant.

Gone Wrong.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
Lewelling and Artz are to go to Chi
cago this evening and leave Colonel
Hughes alive in Topeka. What base
service is this that these two men are
rendering the cause of reform? Off 20
Chicago in palace cars, and that heinous
traitor who refused to murder the Re-
publican legislator last winter still run
ming at large. Alack, alack, when shall
men be found who will prove true to
their trust, if the noble Artz and Lewell-
ing turn treacherous. A clamorous
throng are crying aloud for blood.
When will Artz and the governor trot
Hughes into the arena and satisfy them?

The state supreme court decides in the
case of Perry VS.. Cline from Cowley

vote for justices of the peace, that being

women are all entitled to vote at all
elections in this state because, forsooth,

A Nice Item Spoilt.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
"For once Kansas and Georgia can
clasp hands in perfect fellowship" has
been going the rounds since the vote on
the silver question in the house. We
hardly see where the perfect fellowship
comes in. All the Kansas congressman
voted against the Wilson BILL. while
majority of The Georgia representatives
voted ior it. It's too bad to spoil a nice
item. like that, but it can't be helped.

Colonel D. r. Anthony, of the Leaven'

abused when they were not given the
