Material For Cavalry.

While the United States does not
boast of large standing army, the few
regiments of cavalry which have seen
service ON the plains will not only com
pare favorably with the mounted men
of other nations, but for the particular
kind of work TO which they have been
trained they are without equals in the
world. We have had no reason to keep
them in training, but il put to the test
we could certainly raise magnificent
army in q very short time. Unlike the

Live only to hoard up riches.

Early PuhIic Lotteries.

Probably the first public lottery ever
held took place in England in 1867, says
an exchange, when 40, 900 chances were
sold at 10 shillings each, the prizes consist
ing chiefly of plate and the profits going
for the repair Of certain harbors The
drawing took place at the west door of st.
Paul's cathedral. In 1912 another lottery
took place at ST. Pauls This was for the
benefit of the Virginia company. The
highest prize was fl, 900, and SEQ, 1000
profit was gained.
Again, In 1880. n lottery was promoted
In order to bring water into London, and
after the civil war another lottery helped
to replenish an exhausted national ex-
chequer. Private lotteries soon became
very common, and being generally con

bronze Wire.

In Germany for many years past bronze
wire has been in use for telephone lines
on account of It's conductivity being supe-
Hior to that of iron or steel wires. Besides
bronze wires covered with a copper,
number Of German makers have also
brought out numerous double metal wires,
under the name of compound wire, bi-
metallic wire, double metal wire, double
bronze wire, patent bronze wire, etc.
These wires have a core of steel or alumni
ium bronze, with high tensile strength,
and are covered with copper or bronze OF q
high conductivity and experiments with
these wires having been made with view
to comparing them with bronze wire for
telephone purposes, the results are claimed
TO show that they have important proper.
ties available In that way. 1t Is stated, for
example, that telephone line with BIZ
metallic conductor will work much more
perfectly than with n conductor OF single
metal, such MS oopper-less insulation, too,
is said to be needed for such conductor
than for copper or any material, and honce
such wires laid on the earth without spe-
cial insulation permit n telephone conpec-
ton to a much greater distance. The final
experiments In this line, however, are TO
the effect that the double metal wires are
really no more valuable than the pure cop
Der wire, but that the distance to which
telephone transmission by bare wires laid
upon the earth Is possible depends mainly
upon the size and weight Of the wires, pre-

Boy "Heroines."

All those divine creatures, those her.
Dimes Of Shakespeare, were acted in his
day. and for some time afterward, by
youths and young men. May we not
fancy that this hard condition was
sorrow to Shakespeare, who, OF all men,
must most keenly have felt how much
better his godlike women could have
been realized by actresses3 It must have
been hard for boys to turn their mascu-
line natures to favor and to prettiness
when they had to enact women-and
such women Shakespeare must have
longed to see the boards trodden by the
light foot Of woman, with her incom-
parable grace and witchery and feeling

even in Elizabeth's time, worthily to
personate the divinity Of womanhood?

ENGLAND and Her Friends.

England as nation has not and rare
ly has had "a friend. She is isolated,
and the world delights TO impress her
isolation upon her. Once, indeed, she
drew very close 90 Holland, so close
that, after fighting her battles for two
generations, she offered TO make one re-
public with her, but the only results
were seven of the fiercest naval engage
ments ever known and the ousting OF
the Dutch from their dominion OF the
sea. The only European people who
having passed from under our rule con-
spired to return TO il were the Gascons
ut the close Of the hundred years war.
There can I've no more curious example
of the caprices Of national friendship
than this. Normandy and Brittany,
nearer 10 us in breed, climate and posi-
ton, joyfully cast us out. and the hot
blooded province of the south, for all
that il had once rebelled against the
Black Prince, entreated us TO stay.
With Scotland the case was different.
She had for many hundred years a
friendship, hardly extinguished until
the middle Of the last century. which
brought woes unnumbored both upon
England and herself and many times
threatened to overwhelm England alto
gether So surely as an English expedi-
ton went TO France down came the
Scots across the border The victory of
Neville's Cross was won when Edward
III lay before Calais; the victory OF
-Flodden was won when Henry VIII lay
before Tourney. The story was eternal
ly the same.
II that you will France win,
Then with Scotland first begin.
Nothing could shake the friendship
Of France and Scotland and il was
when France was in her direst need
that Scotland came forward 70 help her
in her own territory and for reward re-
ceived the high privilege Of guarding
the sacred person of the French king.
