Pathetic Instances OF the Chlld's Instinot
for Fun.
Mrs. Molesworth, who writes'a NOV
ing article in Woman's Work, concern
ing the necessity of obtaining ''fun,
food and fresh air" for all Glasses OF
children, says that there are among
London's poor thousands Of little ones
who never had toy.
Yet still the child's instinct to make
believe" surmounts every practical OBJ
stacle, and there is true story of one
little sufferer from chronic disease
whose only plaything were the spots
of damp ON the wall beside her bed.
She played they were real and alive,
she gave them names and imaginary
qualities.
Another true story showed how far
the little candle of q wise and loving
word may throw It's beams. A teacher
at a Sunday school for London's poor
was trying to impress upon her little
pupils some idea Of the real meaning
OF giving.
"Whstever 1t may be-" she said. "ouy
offering to God should be Of our best.
Of what we prize most"
In one baby heart her words found
ready response. Next day little
creature confided her Offering to the
teacher; it was y carefully tied pack
age, containing few grains of rice.
This was her most precious and per-
haps her only treasure.

single smallish frog has been known
to take three wasps one after another.
Indeed, 1t is remarkable what very
small frogs, quite infants, will swallow
wasp with avidity. One afternoon
q tiny frog swallowed full-grown
wasp, when a big relative went for him
quite savagely, like big schoolboy

The Rigorous Discipline Prevailing In the
Kaiser's Army.

The Rigorous Discipline Prevailing In the
Kaiser's Army.
There Is nothing in the system on
which the government of European
countries is conducted that attracts
more attention from thoughtful men
than Germnny's vast army and her
great scheme of military organization.
When France was humbled by the
strength of the German arm, she had
not only to bear the humiliation of de-
feat and set to work to rebuild and
restore, but she had also to pay an in
demnity Of $1,000, 100000 to her con-
qperor. That she did pay it and has
to-day recovered from the loss, is the
financial wonder of the world.
In the. fortress of Spandau, says
Golden Days, there are stored millions
of silver pieces which formed part of
that indemnity, most of them stamped
with the head Of Napoleon III. They
are kept as an emergency fund in case
of foreign war, and the Germans call
them the iron treasure.
The Germans are very fond of the
word ''iron," as symbolical of strength,
frmness and endurance. Prince Bis
marck was the man Of blood and iron;
their most priced reward is the iron
cross, which can be earned only by act
ual bravery on the field, and when a
war begins each soldier goes to the field
supplied with what are called "iron
rations"
When the German army is put into
fighting order, each soldier is given an
absolutely new uniform. In equip
ment and accoutrement a similar sys-
tenn is followed. In his knapsack are
his spare clothes and his score OF cart.
ridges. Each one of his pockets has q
particular purpose. The lining of the
left pocket in the tunic is incidentally
prepared, SO that it can be used, il
needed, as an antiseptic bandage. In
his haversack are his loaf Of bread and
his iron ration.
This is, so to speak, his reserve fund
his sustenance, when deprived of all
other resources. The rations consist
Of coffee, rice. hard tack and tobacco,
put up in small bags, in q preserved
and compressed shape. To each SOL
dier Is given quantity sufficient for
three days use. The cavalry receives,
in addition, similarly prepared rations
for it's horses, consisting of oats and
hay sufficient for five days.
These rations cannot be touched, ex-
cept by command of superior officer.
So long as the soldier is supplied by
the comm;ssariat with the necessary
food. or he can procure it by forage,
these rations are sacred.
There Is factory in Mayence which
packs thom. The principles Of chem
ical science enter into their prepara-
ton, and it is believed that. in tile
articles provided, the greatest amount
of nutrition has been secured in the
most compressed and endurable shape
If all this labor and outlay were to
be expended so that the starving thou.
sands of the empire might be fed, the
system would be praiseworthy, but
humanity and benevolence do not enter
into the question at all. The sole OBJ
ject is to make the soldier better
fighting machine-a stronger part of
that aggressive force which is to be
put to work whenever an ambitious
ruler longs for greater power and
glory.

THE Legislature il anxiOusly
looking around for something to
tax. The revenues of the State do
not keep pace with the inclination
to spend money, and so instead of
cutting down expenses the law
makers propose to increase taxes.

may be found that can be made to
yield additional revenue.

THE European countries spend
from three to six times as much

United States the difference is
more than four times as much in
favor of education. Yet what

ed citizen of Uncle Sam?

The massachusetts Reform Club
 Adopts Resolutions Calling Upon
 the senate to Dispose of the Tariff
 BIll as Speedily as Possible.
 BosroN, May 4-Some seventy members of the Massachusetts Reform club attended the monthly meeting of the club at Young's tonight, and listened to a discussion of government by commissions. Previous to the introduction of the subject Collector Warren made some remarks, which were later characterized by 6 civil service re- former ss spologetical in their nature 30 far as they related to removals from office.
 0. R. Goldman presided and after Collec- tor Warren had concluded, introduced Rev. N. P. Gilman, who proposed tho fol- lowing resolution, which was adopted:
 That the Massachusetts Reform club adds its will to second the demands made by business men regardless of party that the United States senate dispose of the tariff bill as speedily as possible and thus remove a great hindrance to renewed pros. perity.
