varied accomplishments and has been
honored by various positions. So far as
we know, he may make a good officer and
his appointment pays lauother political
debt, for which this administration
seems famous. The retiring commits

made an excellent officer and no fault

An Army Made of Many Races.

Writing about the natives" of sew
eral kinds that form part of the French
army in Madagascar, the correspondent
Of The Pail Mall Gazette says that the
Sakalava battalion, raised among the
natives of the coast, with the addition
of Comoros, has behaved splendidly.
These men showed the greatest pluck in
action and have proved thoroughly re-
liable. On the other hand, the Bourbon
volunteers cut very poor figure. They
are understood men, nearly all half
castles, and not in the least soldierlike.
The mounted batteries are drawn by
mules, splendid animals, most of them,
and one is astonished to find that they
are so easily handled and go so we'll to.
gether The mountain batteries cut also
a very good figure.
Nearly 5000 coolies accompany the
expedition. These consist Of Somali,
Kabyles, from Algeria, Senegal, and O
few from Dahomey. The former have
been found the most useful ON account
of their intelligence. The Kabyles are
chiefly old soldiers, but, although good
fighting men, are lazy, obstinate and
most stupid as coolies or mule drivers.
The Senegal are splendia men with
grand physique. The Houssa from Da
honey arrived in miserable state. Ar
epidemic broke out ON the voyage, an6
ON their arrival they had to be sent
away on quarantine. The mules arrived
in good condition. They come from
France, Algeria and Abyssinia. They
have kept their condition remarkably
we'll, although much overcrowded OF
some transports, but they are fed ON i'm
ported food, the grass even coming from
France. Some 1000 mules are now a
work. The horses stand the climat,
we'll.

The Vanishing Red Man.

Lo, the poor Indian, is growing scarcer
and scarcer as time advances and will
probably disappear altogether as full
blooded Indian before the end Of another
century. The total Indian population at
this time, according to estimates made by
the officials of the Indian bureau, is 248,-
253, exclusive of the Indians of Alaska
In 1899, before the annexation of Texas
and Mexico, the estimated Indian popula-
tion Of the country was 100000 In 1866
the number was said to be $50, 900, and the
same estimate is made for 1871. The most
rapid decline In numbers has been In the
last quarter of this century. The fact that
the Cherokees and Chippewas both COM
paratively powerful tribes, have actually
increased in numbers makes the decrease
In the other tribes all the more remarkable
1t is believed that the principal loss has
been among the Sioux and other tribes of
the northwest. More than two-thirds of
the total number, or 237, 47s, in 1871 were
on the reservations. At the beginning of
1895 the number on the reservations had
been decreased to 1873, Az, or about one
third of the total number. Less than 30,
900 of these are self supporting, the federal
government issuing supplies to most Of
them. If the rate of decrease which has
been maintained for the last quarter of a
century or so be continued, there will not
be q single full bio6tled Indian in the ooun-
try except possibly In dime museums, by
the end of the twentieth century. Troy

What She Did to Him.

Only four persons saw 1t, but 1t was
a sight those four will not forget while
life lasts. Not long ago woman who
lives in Georgetown came over to spend
the day with friend in an enormously
tall apartment house. She brought her
little 3-year-old son with her. 1t was a
hot day, and the two women, with the
boy, went up to the roof garden. Some
thing distracted the mothers attention
for moment, and in that moment the
baby had clambered to a chair, thence
to rustic table, and as the mother
turned was just walking along the para
pets edge. A divine Providence kept
both women from startling him by a
scream. He ran along the edge Of the
sickening height, laughing and waving
his hands.
Nobody knows how long it was. 1t
seemed a lifetime. The mother dared
not approach, for at every movement on
her part the venturesome little midget
ran away and called her to catch him.
He would not be coaxed to come down,
but finally he yielded to bribe and
climbed down. And did the mother
faintP Well, no, she didn't. Her hair
didn't turn white either, She simply
took the little boy into her arms with,
out word. She held him close to hei
for long time, and then-well, sht
turned him over her knee and spanked
him. Washington Post.

Color In italian SIGNS.

thor--that he was great lover, great
swimmer and rigidly abstinent. On hear
ing which Savage, with all the oandor of

water In his life, and that the other par
tioulars were just as truel Quin tells us
Thomson never saw the sun rise In his life,
and on one occasion the poet gave as an
excuse for not rising before noon that "he
had no motive" Allowing for exaggera-
tion, Thomson doubtless lived In a castle
of Incidence all his own, but we must re-
member that he was wont to walk daily

should not be so. | merely ask how it is
possible that it should be the case If
women were really engaged in social
revolution and were inspired by social
ideals of which we hear so much?
Can it be that they lack the courage
of their convictionsp Surely not, when
every platform and every review re-
sounds with their utterance. The same
is the case with theatrical affairs, in
creased attention and delight in which
can hardly be considered symptom of
greater moral earnestness. Moreover, it
is indisputably the case that, at the very
time when men are being challenged by
women with respect to their moral back
slidings, there are received in society
more freely and intimately than was
ever before the case women of whose
reputation no doubt whatever can be en-
tertained if only they can plead the ex-
tenuating circumstances Of being singer,
dancer or actress. s.-Fortnightly Review.

Of the London Truth, Rejane cannot
make the Americans out. They show,
she says, no feeling as spectators. lone
sees lines Of eyes fixed ON one, but one
has no idea of what passes in the brains
behind them. If the actress has pleased,
heaps of flowers are left next day at her
hotel-by ladies. The American man is
too devoted to business to run around
complimenting actresses, like the
French. Ladies' admiration only
counts when the actress is person Of
honorable life, If the ladies stood aloof,
the star would cease to attract. The
ladies get mp subscriptions to present
souvenirs. They give theatrical mat
inees and soirees, theatrical readings,
receptions and talk lectures, only at
tended by themselves. The American
man is specialized in business, and the
lady is the arbitress Of taste, the soul of
refinement, the handspring Of all sorts
