If the Saviour himself should ap-

in Galilee 10 centuries ago; if he
should speak to the people the same
words that he spoke in Galilee and
that are recorded in the four gos-
pels, he would not be at liberty "a
hours. He would first be handcuffed
and sent to the pale of settlement by
etape as jew, and then, if he con-
tinued to teach, he would be rear
rested and thrown into prison. If
he finally escaped crucifixion at the
hands Of the holy orthodox church
which bears his name, it would be
only because crucifixion has been SUI

An Interesting Family.

1t seemed to be ball of closely
packed wool or brown hair about an
inch in diameter moving steadily
along the path. As there was no
wind and no apparent explanation
of the movement of this mysterious
body l approached nearer, upon
which it ceased moving, and was to
all appearance just what it had at
first seemed to be. Knowing that
there must be life in or about it
somewhere, l proceeded to poke it
with my umbrella. Just as the tip
of the staff was about to touch it the
object instantly spread out several
inches in all directions, the whole
mass again becoming motionless

formed was revealed large spider

the coat she was trying on. The
weary saleswoman breathed a sigh
of relief. The customer had been
hard to suit. Even yet she fingered
the buttons and twitched the sleeves
thoughtfully.
What was this fur when it was
alive2" she asked abruptly as she ad-
justed the collar.
The saleswoman hesitated and
stammered. She was torn between
businesslike desire to make sale
and conscientious regard for the
truth. Her confusion was painful.

THE GERMAN SOLDIER.


Two objectionable offenses In the German
Army Relate to Efficiency.
There are two things which the
German officer does not and cannot
condone-one is nonefficigacy Of the
soldiers rife, the other acAafed foot.
II either of these two takes place on
the march or during the maneuvers
the soldier is Immediately punished
with arrest and is not allowed to
offer any excuse. During the differ
ent maneuvers of German army
corps that | have attended | cannot
recall handful of footsore men in
the course of a days work, and yet
at all these field operations forced
marches are feature in order to
test the endurance of officers and
men.
The secret Of this uniform excel
lence as regards marching powers
lies in the training which the men
receive. When they enter their com
pany as recruits in October, the first
thing that is impressed upon their
minds is the importance of the shoe
and the musket. Nopains are spared
in giving the men at the start com,
Portable footgear, and they are ex-
pected to look after this with as
much interest as If it were chro-
nometer.
In the spring following, when the
snow is off the ground, marches are
undertaken, and these are regulated
as carefully as are the strokes and
the courses Of the college crew un-
der the hands Of the trainer. Each
day the men march half a mile or Sc
farther than the day before; each
day they carry on their back an
ounce or two more; each day the
speed they are able to maintain is
carefully noted; in fact, the record
Of a company's marching from day
to day until late in the summer
when they move into the open coun.
try is kept as minutely as if it were
a single picked company training fol
a match or competitive drill.
The German soldier is educated
and trained for the purpose of fight
ing, and to have a man fall out be
fore he reaches the fire line is looked
upon as quite as much disaster al
if he had been shot and wounded by
the enemy. The art Of war, as prac
ticed in Germany, is very much thu
art of getting there, and it is th'
general who posts himself most ad
vantageously at the critical momen
that may be assumed to have woi
