CHINESE SOLDIERS.

A Remarkable Promotion-H0w the On
Gers Rob the Government.
A 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 K, who had not met him
for years and who was peacefully occu-
pied as cook in a distant opium den.
This is how 1t was done. The soldier,
after each engagement In which he dis
tinguished himself, reported imaginary
deeds of valor performed by his brother.
and his word was taken. One day the
cook in the opium den, who had never
even seen battle, read his name in The
Gazette and found to his surprise that
he had attained 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
nominally serving and for whom pay is
drawn is the average strength Of the
forces, even under Lii Hung Chang's
comparatively honest officers, while
elsewhere 100 men on paper usually
mean but 40 or so in the flesh. On re-
view days the officers engage a sufficient
number of soldiers by the day to make
the army look all right. But there are
other sources of profit besides dealing
In dummy soldiers. The live ones have
to wear uniforms and to eat, and both
food and clothes are supplied at extor-
tionate prices by the officers, SO that of
the taels per month paid by the gov
eminent for each soldier, about one-f1fth
All this refers to the "braves" who are
only engaged during wartime and are
disbanded the moment the fighting IS
over wherever they may happen to be
and nearly always without the means
Of returning to their homes, thus keep
ing up the supply Of armed robbers all
over the empire.
AS to the soldiers of the standing
army in times Of peace, they are, with
the exception of the Mantchoo garrison,
SO wretchedly paid that its strength ex

regularly draw their pays shillings
per month-and have scarcely any fur
ther connection with the military serv-
ice. The few that go on duty in the city
gates live entirely on bribes. The Man
chu force under the Tartar general. Oh
the other hand, is well paid, but these
soldiers do no fighting. They are only
engaged in guarding the city against
Chinese rebels. They live in a separate
quarter 10 that occupied by the Chinese,
on whom they often make unprovoked
attacks. Thus fights between the Chi
ncse and the Tartar soldiery are of cou
mon occurrence, and as these Tartar sol
diers are not under the jurisdiction of
the civil law their outraces invariably
go uIpunished. Naturally there is no
love lost between the city guards and
the native Chincsc.-EnglislI Exchange.

The ideal batter puts into his stroke,
first, body motion; second, upper arm
moticn; third, forearm motion, and
fourth, wrist motion. The stroke begins
with strong body swing, which is fol-
lowed by the motions of the upper and
fore ann respectively, and ends with Il
short, quick snap Of the wrists. AL
though this is the analysis of the ideal
stroke, it is hot precisely the one that
would recommend for the majority Of
amateurs. To get all the motions to
their full extent against good pitchers
requires an ability to judge the ball
more quickly and accurately than anna
teurs, with few exceptions, can do.
The wrist and arm motions can be con-
trolicd mere easily and quickly than
the body swing, go that if most cf the
latter Is left off the batter has greater
chance of Judging the bali accurately.
l therefore think, as accuracy is ubso
lutely essential, that batters shoald be
coached to use but little body swing. In
other words, they should be coached
not to ''slug" and try for home ruus,
but to meet tie ball sGua,e!y for liuo
singles. When you see q batter, rs l Of
ten have, strike at 4 ball, and from the
force Of the stroke be turned completely
around, you have seen one who is guilty
of two breaches of correct hatting prin-
ciples. First, having entirely sacrificed
the important arm and wrist motions,
he has, with stiff arIns ard wrists, de-
pended entirely upon powerful hGdy
swing. And, second. he has lost his bal
ance and therefore all batting form. 1t
will be we'll to bear in mind that
against any pitcher good, clean hit
can be made, even without any body
motion, if the ball be hit squsrely and
with a quick arm motion and snap of
the wrists Round Table.

The word despot originally meant
master or lord. At later period 1t be-
came an honorary title, bestowed by
the Greek emperors ON certain govern
ors of provinces. Now the word con-
veys the idea of tyranny, though, strict
ly speaking, it merely means an abso-
lutte ruler.
