The British Soldiers Clothes.

Tt costs the British government ST.
$50. 900 annually for the clothing fur
nished to its army all over the world.
Each of the foreign possessions, how
ever, has to pay back, to certain ex-
tent. the amount which the uniforms OF
the troops stationed or sent there mas
cost. and this entails no end OF book
keeping. India pays for the clothing OF
it's own troops and also for the uni
forms of the men which England sends
there. The latter item is about $780,
600 annually. On the other hand, when
a regiment comes home from India that
country has to be paid back the full
value of the clothes it wears. The gov
ernment sells old and wornout articles
to the secondhand dealers, who, by the
way, usually accumulate fortunes III
short time. The value of cast of clothes
so disposed of is about $3.50, 900 yearly.
The best quality of everything is used
in the manufacture of uniforms. In
fact it is said they are too good for
durable wear. A huge factory IN Pimli-
co makes n large share of the furnish
ings. but vast quantities or loot ana
head gear are bought ready made. Boots
and leggings. for example, cost 81, 100,
600 and headdresses $3.50. coo. The

Importance of Regular Living.

A question has lately arisen as to the in
crease or the reverse in nervous diseases,
some arguing that the cause of the sup
posed increase in such nervous diseases lies
in the increased demand made by the con-
ditions of modern life upon the brain. 1t
is quite true that the conditions OF life are
very different nowadays from what they
were few years ago. We now live in high
pressure age, and in one Of keen competi-
ton, when greater effort is needed in every
branch of life to attain successful posi-
ton, when the brain is always working
and there is constant tension. Such con-
ditions, it will be perfectly obvious to all,
are not favorable to diminution OF nerv-
Gus diseases, but rather the reverse. AT
the same time, 1t cannot be denied that
the comforts of life have increased. We
have better sanitation, cleaner houses and
fresher air.
There can be no question that men OF
regular habits are healthier, happier, live
longer and do moro than those who obey
caprice and impulse. The adoption OF
hygienic habits saves the nervous system
an enormous amount of friction and waste.
1t preserves vitality Regularity econo-
mics not only physical stamina, but time
as well. The man who knows no system
in the details of his life, who exhausts ma
ture at the instance of passing whim,
who drinks and smokes TO excess, who
wastes the talents bestowed upon him, is
the one who must sooner or later fall VIC
tim to disease. Regularity and modera
ton in all things should be the motto OF
life, and it should be remembered that
regularity does not necessarily preclude the
endowment of variety. A certain amount
of variety prevents man from becoming a
mere machine, but variety should not IN
terfere with those regular habits of life
which are necessary to the maintenance OF
health. New York Ledger.

Dormsuse petscacies.

Drawn was originally Roman dish
and was eaten with garurn. and cows
and calf's foot jellies were likewise
dainties with Rome's upper ten in the
time of the Caesars. One would hardly
suppose that black buildings were so
old as the reign of Tiberius, but this is
the fact. They were made OF pigs

spersed in the compound, and were the
invention Of gentleman who rejoiced

was he who invented all kinds of sau'
sages-that is, meat stuffed into skins,
which, we take it, is the ground plan,
so to speak, of sausage.
This gentleman also wrote learned
treatise on the fattening of dormice for
the table, for at one period dormice
were craze. There was dormouse soup,
dormouse sausage, dormouse Drawn, DOR
mouse cooked in every conceivable way,
and the demand for this de!icacy In

room for IA look OH the subject. though
unfortunately this book is lost to pos
terity, and the only knowledge which we
have of the fattening of dormice IL
Rome is from Petronius Arbiter, who
tells us that they became fat by sleep

He also tells us that the best sauce tc

A Puzzled Author.

The San Francisco Argonaut tells an
amusing story about Alphonse Daudet.
When he brought out Sappho, an Amer
lean publishing house that issues religious
books. not knowing its character, offered
Nj. Daudct large sum for advance sheets
of the work He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When the
publishers received them, they decided that
they could not issue the book, and they
cabled to the author, 'Sappho' will not
do. This dispatch puzzled Daudet. He
consulted with numbers of friends, and
this was the conclusion at which they
eventually arrived: "Sappho" in French
is spelled with one Sapho, after
the Greek fashion. In English IL is spelled
with two. An unusually acute friend
pointed this out TO Daudet, which much
relieved the novelist, and he cabled back
to the publishers, "Spell it with two p's. "
1t is needless to state that the publishers
were more astonished at Daudets reply
than he had been at their cable dispatch.

Iananese Journalism.

japanese journalism, says mission
ary's wife, "is singular profession In
many of its features. There is practically
no such thing as freedom of the press in
japan. Whenever a newspaper publishes
something unfriendly TO the government
it is suppressed and the editor Is sent To
prison. The real editor Is never impris-
oned, though. Every newspaper has what
the Japanese call dummy editor. and IL
is his sole duty to go to Jail every time tho
paper is suppressed for offending the
mikado. Then the real editor CHANCES the
name of the paper and keeps on publishing
it. Dummy editors spend most of their
time in prison."

HIS SECOND ASSIGNMENT.
A Leaf Out of Newspaper Reporters
Early Experience.


"My first assignment, said an old re-
porter, was TO find out whether some
body was in town, or something of that
sort. / know there was nothing TO be
written about It. got the information
and reported to the city editor. That was
all had to do that day. For the rest of
the day sat around the office and looked
on with an infatuation that has never de-
creased. The next day got my second
assignment In this there was something
to write abzlt.
"The city editor handed me narrow
little strip of white tissue paper cut from
sheet of ship news and containing, in two
lines of writing information that two Ia
borers had been washed overheard from
the barge So-and-so laden with ore, COM
ing up the bay In tow of the tug So-and-
SO. What / was to do was to get the facts
about the occurrence and write them.
1.-THE city editor said that If / would
find the consignees of the barge or the
owner Of the tug / would get on the trace
of the story. The names Of the consiRnees
were in the two lines Of ship news, and
simply by looking in the directory found
their Office without the slightest trouble.
There learned where the cargo was tied
up. It was at wharf In Hoboken or
Weehawken, I don't remember which, and
made for that. When ! turned from the
street down the wharf there she was, tied
up alongside, her name on the wheelhouse.
She was about half unloaded and men
were still at work carrying of the ore.
II was not altogether without expert
ence In life, but / had never done anything
that gave me quite the satisfaction that 1t
did to find that ore barge in my first ac-
tual experience as reporter. The captain
was aboard, and so were the surviving
members of the little party of laborers
who had started up the bay in her, and SO
the whole story WAS right there. sat on
the stringpiece of the wharf and talked
with the captain of the boat. He told the
story with entire willingness. OF course
there was no reason why he shouldn't, and
then went back to the office and wrote
1t up. 1t was not great story. l knew
that. It was like thousands of stories that
the newspapers are sending after all the
time, of the manifold daily occurrence OF
life, but / must put 1t together in good
shape, get In all the facts and put the
story In the smallest space.
"In the morning / went out and got
paper before breakfast. wanted to read
my story of the loss of the men from the
ore barge. looked the paper over, and
my gracious, l couldn't find 1t all!
thought they must have left it out alto
| gether, but when came to look the paper
over again / found it-a scant stickful
with single line head.
"But when came to read 1t over
