IL been evolved by a cycling genius IL
is called the royal game, and requires
a court or field divided into alleys. Two
teams of nine riders each take part
and the field is divided into a right and

plainly. An aiieyway constructed Of
ropes or cables extends from the upper
TO the lower field on the division line
between right and left field Cables
also form two upright sides between
which the playwheel rolls and Is driven
backward or forward by the riders in
passing at any point between the lower
and upper 6eld. The playwheel Is sin

te drive this pIaywheel from the center

OF the alleyways are the goals for the

OHcerS Engage Men to Make the
Army Look Well
4 young man from my native town
entered the army. and. by dint Of hard
fighting and real merit. rose to the rank
OF brigadier general: but with him at
every promotion rose his brother,
whom will call X-who had not met
him for years, and who was peacefully
occupied as cook in a distant opium
den This is how II was done. The
soldier, after each engagement in
which he distinguished himself, report
ed imaginary deeds OF valor performed
by his brother, and his word was taken.
One day the cook in the opium den,
who had never seen battle, read his
name in the Gazette. and found, 10 his
surprise. that he had attained to the
rank OF colonel in the imperial forces.
Military service is, in many ways
very remunerative to the officers They
enroll any men they like and they al
ways draw the pay for many more men
than are actually in the army. About
20 per cent of the full number of men
nOminaIly serving and for whom pay il
drawn is the average strength Of the
forces, even under L Hung Chang's
comparatively honest officers. while
elsewhere 100 men On paper usually
means but 10 or so in the flesh On re-
view days the officers engage sufh-
cient number of soldiers by the day &c

are other sources Of profit besides deal

both food and clothes are supplied al
eN1ortionate prices by the officers: SC
that OF the five fael per month paid By
the government for each soldier. about
one-f1fth or less reaches the pockets Of

All this refers TO the braves who
are only engaged during war time and
are disbanded the moment the fighting
is over wherever they may happen &c
be. and nearly always without the
