EFFECT or STANDING ARMIES.
Develops the Body and Teaches Men a
Respect for Law and Order.

Capt. A. Il. Mahan, IN Harpers.
What has been the effect of these great
armies2 Manifold, doubtless On the eco
nomical side there is the diminution of pro-
duction, the tax upon mems time and lives,
the disadvantages or evils so dinned daily
into our ears that there is no need of re-
peating them here. But is there nothing to
the credit side of the account. even perhaps
q balance in their favor? Is it nothing, in
an age when authority is weakening and
restraints are loosening, that the youth of
nation passes through a school in which
order, obedience and reverence are learned,
where the body is Systematically deVel-
oped where ideals of self-surrender, of
courage, of manhood, are inculcated, nee
essarily because fundamental conditions of
military success? Is it nothing that masses
of youths out Of the fields and the streets
are brought together, mingled with others
of higher intellectual antecedents, taught
to work and TO act together, and carrying
back into civil life that respect for constf-
these days, when lawlessness is erected into
a religion? 1t Is a suggestive lesson to
watch the expression and movements of a
number of rustic conscripts undergoing
their first drills, and to contrast them with
the finished results seen in the faces
and bearing of the soldiers that throng the
streets.
military training is not the worst prep
aration for an active life any more than
the years spent at college are time lost, as
another school Of utilitarians insists. Is it
nothing that wars are less frequent, peace
better secured, by the mutual respect of
nations for each others strength and that
when a CONFUSION does come, it passes
rapidly, leaving the ordinary course of
events to resume sooner. and therefore
more easily? War now not only occurs
more rarely, but has rather the character
of an occasional excess, from which recov-
cry is easy. A century or more ago it was
a chronic disease And withal, the military
spirit, the preparedness-not merely the
willingness, which is a different thing-to
fight in a good cause, which is a distinct
good, is more widely diffused and more
thoroughly possessed than ever it was when
the soldier was merely the paid man. 1t
is the nations now that are in arms, and
not simply the servants OF the king.

effect of wagner's Music.

A great discovery has been made or is
on the way to be made, and announced by
our scientific aestheticians Some weeks
ago a London lady, a Thoroughbred mu-
steal amateur and devotee of st. James $
Hall, called for a friend, also musical
amateur of ardent sentiments. TO escort the
latter to a concert. The friend declined
she had changed her mind-the programme
Of the concert had been altered and was to
be chiefly Wagnerian instead of a more
general making up II am a blonde" She
said, and Wagner's music is only suitab Bile
for brunettes. Wagner has q distinctly bad
effect on the complexion of blondes and on
their nervous systems"

Tha Color Bath.

There have been sun baths and
mud baths, sulphur baths and vapor
baths, Turkish baths, Russian baths,
but the color bath is the latest nov
city and positive fad among wom-
en- with sensitive nerves. Color
baths are said to reach closer to the
real nerve tissues than any other
means of cure.
Bathers are taken into small COM
partments, like vapor baths. AT the
back of the patient is an aperture
where a large slide of colored glass
may be inserted or removed at will.
Directly behind the slide in each
bath is a huge electric arc light,
that buzzes and glows and turns the
bath into a miniature lighthouse.
The colors are chosen as one
might choose medicines, and the pa
tent sits bathed in glory of the
shade calculated to quiet her nerves
or stimulate her vitality.
The treatment lasts from a quar-
ter to three-quarters of an hour, and
then follows Is minutes rest in g
darkened room. 8 Weekly.

CANINE FRIENDSHIPS.
some Curious Instances of Affection ant
Grerdtude.


Gretdtude.
Friendly alliances between ami
mails are often of a most singular
kind. Naturally enough, dogs fire.
quently make friends and compan-
ions among their own species, 81
though the large share. of personal
liberty they enjoy is the cause OF
their contracting inexplicable init
macies. A close friendship and un-
Outstanding between dogs and horses
is apparently more frequent than
any similar relationship between in
dividuals of the same species. Dogs,
however, are fond Of queer company
and go out of their way in search
of 1t.
The numerous friendships formed
between dogs and geese, and even
poultry in general, are quite re-
markable. 1t is not generally recog-
nized that the goose is a bird of ex-
traordinary sagacity, and this mu-
tual regard Of fur and feather may
proceed on an understanding which
overrides the distinctions Of race.
The species of goose known as gray
legs is especially remarkable for
its strong attachments to dogs. One
which was rescued by mastiff from
an attack by fox showed con
sciousness of it's obligations and
desire to return them which were
touching in their obvious feelings.
The goose entirely abandoned the
society of it's kind, roasted in the
dogs kennel and followed it in its
daily wanderings over o large farm
and through the neighboring vii
lage. The dog happening to fall i'll,
the goose would not leave him night
or day and would, to all appear
ance, have been starved had not a
pan of corn been placed for it every
day near the kennel.
Dogs and fowls also enter into ami
cable relations for reasons much
less apparent to onlookers than to
themselves. A hen and retriever
became so strongly attached that
the former laid her eggs and hatch
ed her chickens in his kennel. On
the hen leaving or entering her nest
the dog would move from the thresh-
old to- make room, while any at
tempt to touch the eggs in her alb
sence was met by his immediate dis
appreciation There is also an in
stance of quaint friendship which
gradually grew up between tame
rock and bulldog, the dog never
appearing happier than when the
rock was seated on his back.
Motives of beneficence lead to
many apparently perverted friend
ships. Cats and dogs are often
known to carry their young to a fos-
ter mother, who for friendships
sake or from a liberal maternal
love accepts the additional duties
thus imposed upon her. But still
more remarkable are those cases in
which foster mothers, overcoming
all scruples and antipathies of nat
ural instincts, do not hesitate to ac-
cept the charge Of young creatures
of other and quito different species
from their own. Many creatures have
more than man dislike to a solitary
life and adopt measures of their own
to beguile its tedium.
Horses have o positive dread of
solitude, and when this happens to be
unavoidable will make friends OF
the most unlikely creatures. Cases
have occurred in numbers where
colts and mares have shown symp-
toms of distress and uneasiness
amounting to positive melancholy
where stable dogs have died or been
removed. Dog Fancier.

TITZ MAY FIGHT
Sullivan Insists Upon Getting a De-
cisive Answer

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 10.-John L..
Sullivan arrived in Buffalo this evening.
in company with his backer, Frank B.
Dunn of Boston, and Immediately start
ed on hunt for Champion Bob Fitz-
simmons. The rival pugilists came to-
gether at the Lyceum theater, where
Fitzsimmons' vaudeville company is
holding forth.
Sullivan wanted to talk fight right
away, but was prevailed upon to wait
until the conclusion of the perform
ance.
At II o'clock tonight Sullivan, Fitz
simmons, Quinn, Martin Julian, and a
host of other sports met at the Tiff
ham. Sullivan issued formal chal-
lenge to Fitzsimmons for finish fight
for the worlds championship and a
side bet Of $4,000. Dunn produced $1,000
to bind the match. Fitzsimmons at first
declared that he thought he had earned
a rest and did not intend to fight again
for at least year, but on Sullivan urg-
ing him strongly to arrange match
the champion promised to take the mat
ter under consideration and give Sulli-
van definite answer shortly. The
meeting between the fighters was quite
friendly.

VICTORIA, Be, June 10.-The steam
er City Of Topeka arrived from Alaska
this morning and brings down news that
the derelict schooner Gen. Siglin, which
has been tossed to and fro in the North
ern Pacific ocean since she was wrecked
toward the end of March, has been
brought into Sitka by the United States
cutter Corwin. When the water was
pumped out OF the wreck the body of a
boy was found. He was one of the chill
dren of the dead agent, DR.. Greenfield,
who, with his wife and family, sailed for
Alaska. With the exception Of the mate.
who lashed himself to one of the stern
rails, and the boy who was found in the
cabin, all were washed overheard
When the wreck was beached at Sit
ka, between 500 and $500 was taken
from her hold in gold. The remainder
Of the coin taken up (t was said that
Agent Greenfield took up $4,000 with
him) and freight and provisions were
washed away by the heavey seas which
continually broke over the derelict while
it was drifting about.

JUBILEE DELEGATES
A Warm Welcome Extended to Co.
lonial Premiers'

LONDON, June 11-All the papers
published editorials welcoming the col
onial premiers and delegates to the jubi-
lee. especially Mr.. Laurier.
The Times says that the presence of
the colonial premiers, headed by Mr..
Laurier, a Frenchman and Catholic tes-
titles to the breadth and solidity Of the
constitutional freedom the British COL
onies enjoy
One Of the Irish newspapers publishes
letter from Mr.. Gladstone, in which he
refers to the insolence and audacity Of
the sultan's imperious request to be per-
mitted to send ENJOYS to the jubilee.
Mr.. Gladstone expresses the hope that
prudence and decency will induce the
government to stifle the request, adding:
'"The envoys of the great assassin would
meet with disagreeable reception in
England"
Today Whitelaw Reid, special ambas-
sador from the United States to the jubi-
lee festivities, visited Ambassador Hay
and settled some of the arrangements
for American participation in the fetes.
1t was decided to illuminate brilliantly
the embassy and Mr.. Reid's residence.

Puzzling the Powers of

THE PORTE Is VERY PATIENT
BUT ACTIVELY CONTINUES WAR
PREPARATIONS
Germany Charged With Desire to
Overthrow the Greek Dynasty and
Control the Finances
Associated Press Special Wire.


LONDON, June 1.-THE CONSTANT
nople correspondent of the Standard
says: At. Tuesdays conference of the
ambassadors for the decision of the
terms of peace, Tewfik Pasha was pres
ent, armed with categorical instructions
to persist in the retention of Thessaly.
given him by the sultan personally.
When the conference ended the sultan
summoned his ministers to a special
council at the Yildiz Kiosk, which sat
until o'clock In the morning, Wednes-
day. The decision arrived at was
that the evacuation of Thessaly
was impossible. but there was no neces-
sity for precipitate action. Being IL
possession, the porte, it was urged, was
able to wait patiently, and even indef
nitely, while discussing academically
point after point, with the powers. Il
was also decided to continue actively the
preparations for war.
The correspondent of the Daily Mai
at Athens says: Extraordinary rurnors
are current as to the attitude Of Ger-
many. 1t is alleged that the German
government seeks to overthrow the
Greek dynasty and to establish a rigor.
Gus control Of Greek finances. In orde.
to attain this double object Germany
wants a continuance Of the war and Il
have the terms of peace finally dictated
at Athens itself. The statements seen
scarcely worthy Of credence, but 1t L.
probable that Germany will continue tc
press for financial control.
MORE CONCILIATORY
CONsTANTINOPI.E, June 1O.-since
yesterdays conference between the Am.
bassadors Of the Powers and Tewfih
Pasha, Turkish Minister of Foreign
Affairs, the Ottoman officials have been
more conciliatory on the subject OF
Thessaly. 1t Is now believed Turkey
will yield that point and agree to with
draw the troops. This change of front
is said to be due to counsels from
abroad.
