CONSUMPTION IN FRANCE.
The French Army 10 One of the Greatest
of NJ odern Times.

every Frenchman owes service to
the state i'll return for the protection it
affords his person, his rights and his
property" This principle is the foun-
dation of the military administration of
the French, whose army is one of the
greatest Of modern times, and whose
military discipline is said to approach
as near to perfection as is considered
possible i'll so great an organization.
Formerly the period of active military
service was five years. but recently the
chamber passed bill reducing it to
three, at the same time frightening the
periods spent with the various stages of
the reserve force. AS in Germany, it is
possible to get q reduction of this term
provided the young man can produce
proof of n certain standard Of education.
The degree of bachelor, the certiti-
cate d'etudc or the passing of Il special
examination set for the purpose enables,
though it does not entitle, the recruit to
get his period of service reduced to one
year. This communication is only granted
where there is sufficient ground for be-
lieving the men are adequately trained
and up to the required standard.
Once out of the active army, the men
pass into the reserve for six years, where
they undergo Il short annual period Of
training until thoroughly efficient SOL
diers. The next six years are spent with
the reserve, after which they are drafted
into the territorial army, or third line
of defense, for another six years, fire.
quently rising III rank to the position of
lieutenant, but not higher. Thence they
are put on the reserve territorial list.
This system gives France peace army
of over 500, 600, which i'll time of war
can be augmented to $500, 900 men, or
even moro.
Partly rs IL result of the republican
nature Of the Frcnchman, and tho adj
miniStrative government, there is hardly
ever trace of class feeling in the rank.
The man Of good blood receives no bet
ter and no worse treatment ut the hands
of his fellows and his superior officers
than docs the recruited falmhand ana
rich and poor share equally and good
naturally the pleasant duties and the
dirty work.
OF course there as everywhere o well
lined purse is Il passport toa certain dc
gree Of comfort and exemption from the
distastcful, but the unfortunate iudi-
vidual who is foolish enough to give
demonstration Of too much love for
clean fingers and whitcness Of skin Will
find that money will not buy him free
of the jobs he tries to steer clear of,
and that the orderly Will take delight
i'll putting him ON to AL the dirty worl:

little III reply, except that he thought
he would manage to scrape good deal
of gold and silver dust from off the
floor. His offer was accepted. The wood
for the new floor and the labor for lay

'Thc old flooring was burned and
the ashes put through IL course of rc-

Greeting In the Pool.

The'central pool at the aquarium is
80 feet III diameter. In this pool there
are among other fish three handsome
weakfish, each weighing about pound
and IL half. Sometimes the weakfish
swim about i'll company, sometimes two
together and one by itself. Sometimes
the three move about separately, but it
seems as though they knew one another.
The other day two of them started
around the big pool i'll opposite direc-
tons Meeting on the other side, they
halted side by side in the water for Il
moment, as two men might halt on
meeting in the street, and after this
mute greeting they started up their fins
and went each it's way New York Sun.

STORM I,o,vn the state.

A cyclone passed through the centre
of the State Tuesday afternoon and
did much damage, leyeling trees and
buildings in its path. The old fair
grounds at Dover are scarcely recogniz-
able. The stables and fences are lying
fiat on the ground. The roof on the
depot is also partly wrecked. The exact
rang of the storm cannot be Rscer-
tanned, but it is thought to be about
four miles In width. Train No. y OF
the Delaware road, in charge of Con,

shelter for at least 10 minutes on ae,

and crashed through house. The

A HORRIBLE DISCOVERY
The Corpse Of Charles 7. Jordan Found
in tho ChFiStlana.
AN ARM AND A LEG BROKEN
The Mysterious Death of q
Smyrnaian.

The dead body OF Charles 7. Jordan,
a former resident of Smyrna, was found
floating in tho Christiana river near
the wharf of the Old Ferry rolling mill,
at 6. 30 o'clock, a. M, yesterday, by M,
A. Burgess and Joseph Forester, dock
hands on the schooner Robert j. Nc.
Allister, which was lying at the wharf.
Deputy Coroner Chandler was notified
and the remains were removed 10 the
morgue.
At the time OF the discovery the
identity Of the man had not bsen estah-
lished, but later in the morning George
Jordan, who Ia employed at Trump
Brothers machine works, identified the
bo,ly aR that OF his brother, who has
been missing from the home OF his half
sister, Mrs. Miller, No. Sl2 Maryland
avenue, since last Saturday.
The dead mans head WAS badly cut
and the right leg and left arm were
broken, which gives the impression
that possibly he was murdered. In his
pockets were found a photograph o, a
woman and letter signed "Jeunie, ;"
which had been written to Jordan from
Smyrna last Wednesday. the letter
was very afiectionate and mnde men
tion OF il little child, but what oqnnec.
tion that could have with Jordan could
not be learned, as Ii was stated by his
relatives here that he ia single mau
about 80 years of age. Judging from
the tenor Of the letter the writer must
have been infatuated with Jordan. 1t
is not known whether the photograph
was that of the writer OF the letter or
not.
Little Of value was found on the
body Deputy Coroner Chandler made
an investigation and was at loss tc
tell how tho man came to his death.
The condition Of the body indicates
that the man was hurt before he died,
and sorle who saw 1t are OF the opinion
that he must have been struck by {
railroad rrain and knocked into th'
water, but as yet the cause OF death Ii
profound mystery. But as a matter
of fact the Injuries would strengthen
the belief that the man was In Homl
accident just prior to his death, ant
the coroner ia not inclined to thinl
that be was murdered.
Jordan came to this city from SmyrDi
some time ago and bad been working
here as a painter. He worked on Frida.
an1 on Saturday attended the circus ii
was also seen Saturday evening arount
the polls at Fourth and Tatnall streets
At that time he was in the company O
a negro, and it is suspected that b
may have been led to some seelude
place and robbed and afterward mur
dered and thrown into the river, an
the police are working on this theory
but as yet have made 10 arrests.
He left the homo OF his half sister
Mrs. Miller, on Saturday and had nc
been seen by relatives since. 1t Is sur
posed that he met death on Saturda
afternoon or night Owing 10 th
