1t Is time that the national government,
which must in certain emergencies depend
upon the militia, was doing more to en-
courage its organization. It has really
made no progress in this direction for
about hundred years. The states. almost
unaided, have been compelled TO maintain
militia, which at the same time is at the
service OF the Federal government In
stead of spending another $50. 900, 600 year
to increase the size of the standing army
it would be q far better course to devote
S., 900, or even SIC, 900, 900, year to en-
couraging an efficient and always ready
militia organization in all the states. The
insignia cant sum of 500, 600 is now appro-
priated to this purpose, but it is not enough
to make the least impression. and it is APP
portioned without any regard to the results
which it may produce. If the government
would increase this appropriation to the
several states to 100000 or $1,000, 900,
and then apportion it on the basis of quail
fly and efficiency in the militia, It would
create what would practically amount to q
standing army.

Some Great Fights.

The arenas of ancient Rome were
not, as some people suppose, mere
rings or ovals, such as may be seen
in the modern circus. They were
broken up and varied in character
according to the nature of the fight
ing to be done or to the caprices of
those in authority. On n occasion
an arena might resemble the Nu-
indian desert, on another the garden
of Hesperides, thick set with groves
of trees and rising mounds, while
again it pictured the great rocks and
caves of Thrace.
With these surroundings the COM
batants advanced, ~retreated, encir-
cled their a~dversaries or kept wild
beasts at bay, as occasion offered, or
as their courage or fear suggested.
Men combated not only with the
more common brutes, but with such
monsters as elephants, rhinosceroses,
Appropriateness and c~rocodiles. On
other occasions fiocks of game, such
as deer and war o~striches, were
abandoned to the multitude, and i'll
some cases the arenas could be
turned into lakes, filled with mon
sters of the deep, and upon the sur
face of which naval engagements
took place.-Detroit Free Press.

New Way.

The old maxim which inculcates
the inadvisibility of putting new
wine into old bottles hardly applies
to the conditions under which cleo
trieity is called in to supplement ex-
isting plants for industrial purposes.
Nowadays it is a frequent cur
renee to see an electrical plant in
stalled at a few hours notice in a
mill or factory that has logged along
with steam or water a its motive
power for a quarter or a half century,
and the change always means quick
er work and cheaper production. A
rapid transformation of this kind has
been made in Devonshire, England,
where some large premises formerly
used as -four mills have been taken
over by a steam laundry company.
The old mill water wheel was turned
to account in the driving of an 80
light dynamo, and not only is the
whole building lit by electricity, but
all the linen is smoothed and CLOSED
by means of electrically heated
irons, and at a comparatively small
outlay the proprietor has provided
himself with a plant equal to the re-
quirements of an extensive and prof
liable business. -Chicago Record.

A SONG OF SUNLIGHT.

Life and death, and the power OF love, and the
strength of laughter;
Music of battle and ships that sail away to
the west;
eth after;
The mad. blind struggle for gold, and the
restless seeking for rest
The brain reels round with them all, and
WEAKNESS is their name;
Come to the long, low moorland and here,
e'er the winter win it
Where the broom, like a sunlit beacon flashes
in golden flame
The music of wind and water, of the bee and
the mountain linnet.
Blue is the sky overhead and purple the
heather about US,
Far on the dim horizon the white sails CLEAN
in the haze,
One is the dream within and the song that is
ours without Us,
The 10y of the sun STEPPED present, struck
free from the whirl of days
Hark! How she sings in the fern a passioniess
song of content.
The wren. now hanging a moment where the
foxglove's bells are shaken.
Now by the waters edge the iris bowed as she
went,
Weaving her melody out of the sweets by the
way she has taken.
Sing, little bird in the willows, low by the edge
of the river,
A song that ripples and leaps as the waters
leap in a spring.
The wind breathes low in the grass where the
threads of the gossamer culver,
And all the sunlit moorland is silent to hear
you sing.
Sing that life is glad, and fair are the land and
the sea,
The wonders of stars in the night and the
noontide's golden glory.
Ours is the joy of the present; we care not what
is TO be.
And the past is dim as a dream or a half re-
membered story.

Tiger Hunting.

A magnificent animal is the large
male tiger when with head erect and
noble mien he walks the glade Dr. for
est where he is king, OF when I'M
daunted by the serried rank of foes
he charges down upon a line of ele-
plants. Grand, too, is the tigress
fighting for her cubs.
Unfortunately. all tigers TT not
animated by this holder spirit, and
not a few persist in the attempt to
fly until they are rolled over as tame
ly as if they rabbits. 1 have
shot some half dozen tigers with
out seeing a hair of them until they
weres stretched out dead Or dying on
the ground-shot them as they went
through the reeds II grass that COW
cred them and yet betrayed.
And it is something strange that,
after a little experience, one comes
to Judge with absolute accuracy
whether the grass or reeds wave for
a tiger, or for deer or pig.-Black-

Inside and Outside Growers.

An important contribution to the
discussion of the origin of exogens
and endogens has recently been
made by the Rev. George Henslow.
He thinks that the endogens have
descended from very early types Of
exogens, which preceded them, and
that the more immediate cause of
their origin in this manner was the
requirement by some of the primi-
tive exogenous plants of an aquatic
habit of Life; in other words, the hab-
it of living in water. The adaptive
changes in the plant induced by its
t~ransference from land to water and
afterward back again from water to
land are thought to account for the
development of indigenous from
the preceding exogenous forms
This is a very interesting theory
for the botanist to discuss, but the
poet also may find pleasure in it, and

Thought Him a Cuisines. Firm.

Awen known New York club man,
speaking the other day of the mar
rage of Miss Flora Davis to Lord
Terence Blcckwood, o of the Mar
quis of Dufferin and Ava, recalls a
story once much told of the latter.
When vioeroy of Canada a score
of years or SO ago, the marquis had
occasion to write to an American
about some matter. In affixing his
signature to the letter he made use
of his double title.
The recipient of the letter misua-
derstood the marquis, and in reply
addressed the envelope to Messrs
Dufferin & Ava and commenced the
letter with ''Gents."-New York
Herald.

Irish Wit.

The late Father O'Dwyer, parish
priest of E%nniskerry, gave a carman
who had driven him home on a wet
day a glass of whisky. He begged
for another glass. Father OrDwyer,
who knew that the man vas rather
too fond of spirits, refused, and still
