Forming Squares.

1t is remarkable that recent tactics in
the Soudan, when we formed squares to
resist the rush of our fanatical oppo-
nents, are simply copy of those which
Napoleon was compelled to adoptia that
part of the world nearly a century ago.
The Mamelukes, who were his most dan
gerous antagonists, were better trained
and better mounted than any cavalry he
had to bring against them, and, more
over, greatly outnumbered the French
squadrons. He was obliged, therefore,
to rely entirely on his artillery and in
fantry, and these were formed into
squares, with the guns at tt angles, just
as our troops were draw to stem the
rushes at El Teb and Tamai.
At Ulundi our formation was the same,
and, like us on that occasion. we read
that Napoleon placed his baggage and
cavalry in the center of the square, and
when the foe was beaten launched the
horsemen to the pursuit just as we loose
our squadrons on the Zulus.-Saturday

thinking on this very theme and prepar-
ing this very sermon it seemed to me as
if the great courser of eternity speeding
along had just struck the mountain with
one hoof and gone on into illimitable
space. So short is time, so insignificant
is earth, compared with the vast eternity:
This morning voices roll down the sky,
and all the worlds of light are ready to
rejoice at your disenthrallment. Rush
not into the presence Of the king ragged
with sin when you may have this robe
of righteousness. Dash not your foot to
pieces against the throne of a crucifed
Christ. Throw not your crown OF life
o.. the battlements. All the scribes of
God are this moment ready with vol
umes of living light to record the news
Of yorlr soul emancipated.

George Was Tired of Being Away

Georges mother had company in the
parlor one evening when the nurse was
away. Mamma put him to bed and told
him to go to Sleep like good boy. He
was very unwilling and was hardly per-
suaded even when she told him that he
would not be by himself, for God vas
with him and would take care of him.
At last he consented, and she went down
stairs to Ter visitors. After an hours
pleasant chat she, congratulated herself
that the baby was fast asleep, when what

The .sPoIIERn MUST GO.

Street Car Conductors Are Too Familiar
With His Ways to Be Caught.
"The railroad spotter has about out
lived his usefulness and will soon have
20 seek another occupation was the re-
mark Of Broadway street car conduct
or. Nearly all the spoilers in the city
are now known personally to all the con-
ductors, for the new men are introduced
to the conductors by means of secret
code of signals while they are being
broke IN
The system of checking is also so well
understood that the moment a new spot
ter commences he is himself spotted and
laughed at. The most popular method
is to read book and to t.rrn over page
every time a passenger enters a car or
pays his fare.
Many of the ladies who skim through
book carelessly as they ride on car
are spoilers, and some of them are SO
careless that they use the same book day
after day, never thinking that it must
be spotted and detected. Other spoilers
of both sexes use row of pins, and act
ing as though they were nervous trans
fer them from one part of their vest to
another, taking care to move one every
time passenger gets on. Taking notes
on shirt wristbands is much simpler and
really attracts less attention, but 1T does
not possess the desired myste-iousness
and is seldom done.
A book could be written on the jokes
that are played on spoilers after they be-
come well known to the conductors. To
cccost one of these worthies personally
and ask if the register is all right is an
act resorted to in retaliation for special
meanness, and the sting in this lies in
the fact that the spotter knows that dis
charge will follow if the company knows
he has been recognized. Another plan
is to purposeiy omit to ring up fares, but
to keep careful track of the number
taken. The spotter takes note of the
omission and prepares d. report to the
superintendent. In the meantime the
conductor has rung up the fares, doing
so the moment the spotter got off, and
when the report is compared with the
trip sheets 1t is found that the mistake
has been made not by the man reported.
but by the man or woman making the
report.
But the conscientious spotter is not so
much to be feared The spotter VINO
makes the lives of conductors miserable
is the one who guesses. Instead of keep
ing actual tab of the number of pas
sengers some spoilers will make an esti-
mate and actually base report on it.
! This is as ridiculous as unjust. for while
the trip cars are out the crowds are SO
large that the conductor himself could
not make even an approximate guess as
| to the number of fares taken. Still some
of the detectives in embryo will assume
the ability of doing this, and more than
one man has gone out into the world
with slur on his reputation for honesty
because of this combination of idleness
and co.ceit.-New York Telegram
