had halted a few PAGES away from his

face.
The incident could hardly have lasted

WHY CHINESE LOSE BATTLES.
They Are Often Commando b
Cowardly or Incapable Men.


In the bulk OF the Chinese army q ex-
empt the Tien-Tsin army corps) an Of
ficer still lonly has to qualify by passing
a standard in archery. in fencing with
swords. and in certain gymnastic exer-
cises, says G. n. Curzon. To the same
deeply embedded fallacy must be at
tributed the collateral opinion that a
civilian must be much better fitted to
command a battalion than n military
man, because he is supposed, in the
course of his studies, to have read some
thing of the art of war.
And when we examine what this art,
in its literary Presentation, is, we find
that the standard military works in
China are some 5000 years old, and that
the authority in highest repute, Sun-tse
by name, solemnly recommends such
maneuvers as these: Spread in the
camp of the enemy voluptuous musical
airs so as to soften his heart'-a dictum
which maight have recommended itself
to Plato, but would hardly satisfy Won
Moltke.
The British army could not be worse
nay, it would be far better-led were the
comander-in-Chmief compelled to be a
senior wrangler, and the generals of di-
vision drawn from senior classes. II
cannot be considered surprising that the
Chinese officers, so recruited and thus
taught. destitute of the slenderest ele-
ments, either of military knowledge or
scientific training. should earn the con
tempt of their followers. Their posts
are usually acquired either by faVorit-
ism or by purchase.
When II is added that they are also
as rule, both corrupt and cowardly
that they stint the mems rations and
pilfer their pay and that when an en-
gagement takes place they commonly

COULD NOT TOLERATE A LIE.
A Great French Writer, Politician and
Republican PhtIanthroptst

Republican PhIlanthroptst
Victor Schoelcher, the eminent
writer, politician and republican phil.
anthropist who died lately in France,
after an honorable life of nearly ninety
years, was always noted for the rigid
sincerity Of his principles and his acts,
saws the Youths Companion. A story
is told In the Partisan Press Of his boy
hood which illustrates this character
istic in him. AS child he was onoe
returning TO France from trip to
Brussels with his mother.
She had obtained in Belgium certain
valuable laces which she could easily
carry out Of sight, and she remarked
to the boy that she was not going TO
declare them to the French custom
house authorities.
But, mother said Victor mot 70
declare them would be wrongr'
"Never you mind" she said, 1T
would be foolish to declare them The
duty on them is enormous and the In
spectors will never know anything
about them. I shall say nothing about
them"
When the custom house man came
Nine. Schoelcher declared that she
had nothing dutiable. The inspector
thought he saw shocked look in the
boys face
What is itP" said he to Victor.
''Oh, STR" said the boy, ~ think
mother has some Belgian laces that
she ought TO pay duty on-'
The laces were produced and the
duty paid. Nine. Scholcher, instead
of being angry, declared that she was
proud of having so honest and truth
full boy.
Not only did he never learn 70 lie,
but he had quick eye for dishon-
esty Of character in others AS dep
uty he voted to permit the return of
Louis Napoleon TO France, believing
that the time had come for universal
forgiveness. Louis Napoleon read a
speech thanking the deputies and full
of apparently frank protestations Of
fidelity to the republic. Schoeleher
shook his head when he heard this
speech.
II watched him through my glass
he said, and his paper never trembled
in his hand. He is too cool TO be an
honest man. We shall have occasion
to regret his coming into the country
The estimate proved quite true, for
in few years Louis Napoleon had,
BY most remarkable series of false
hoods and betrayals, overthrown the
republic and possessed himself Of des
potic power.

Notwithstanding Which Fact He Made a
Good bargain In New York
Talk about Philadelphians being
slow" said an uptown dealer in rare
books 70 a New York Evening Sun
man; why, I'll tell you about little
incident that happened the other day.
"a Philadelphian who has a nice
private collection Of rare engravings
and etchings came 10 this city on a
visit and was almost stranded financial
~ before he knew it. An ordinary
man would have written or telegraphed
home for cash. But this one didn't.
He was strolling down Broadway, un-
decided whether to continue his walk
as far as Philadelphia or not, when he
came 10 little shop where cngravings
md etchings are sold.
His mania for collecting forced him
TO enter the shop and examine the
stock, although he didn't have money
enough to buy a fair-sized chrome.
Turning over a number of etchings
and engravings lying upon q sort OF
bargain table at the rear of the shop
he came across fine copy of the cele-
brated RAMON portrait of Tennyson.
Of which he had highly priced speci-
men in his own collection. Thinking
it strange that the etching should be
lying among the other cheap objects
on the table he asked its price Of
clerk.
"'Take it along for quarter said
the clerk.
"'All right said the Philadelphian,
rolling up the etching and paying over
the money.
"'Shall wrap It up for your asked
the clerk.
"'Oh, no; you needn't mind, and the

prize. He did not walk far, though

man accepted the money, although II
was but little more than half the
price at which the Rajon portrait is
catalogued, and went his way. He had
paid all the expenses of his New York
