ROYAL Hunt TOmfOOIery.

A year or two ago, says the editor of
London Truth, took up the matter of
the royal buckhounds, for have always
thought that anything with less of the
redeeming feature of sport than to cart
q tame deer to some spot, turn it out,
hunt it with dogs, and, having hunted
it down, put it back in its cart for an
other days sport" cannot we'll be con-
ceived. When | was engaged in this
crusade, received many letters assur-
ing me that the deer like being pursued
by dogs, although how the animals con-
veyed their singular idea of pleasure to
the writers Of the letters was not ex-
planned to me. Now that the bishops
have Joined the crusade, we may hope
that the cruel tomfoolery Of this royal
hunt will soon cease.
The country pays the COSTS The sal
airy of the master of the buckhounds
(e1, 200 per annum) is always enjoyed
by nobleman, the occupant of the post
changing with a change of ministers.
Besides this there are salaries to hunts
men, whips and others, the purchase
and keep of horses and hounds, etc. I
should suppose that the total outlay
must be about e3, 200 per annum. This
is betrayed, it is true, from the civil
list. But when the amount needed to
maintain the sovereign was investigated
in order to arrive at the total necessary,
this expenditure was included in the
estimate.
1t is suggested by the bishops that the
quarry should cease to be deer and
should henceforward be q red herring.
But the idea, as an attribute of majesty
of the sovereign keeping a lot of dogs to
run after red herring is childish.

The Southern Confederacy was only a
few months old when financial agent
was sent to England on very impor-
tant mission. Mr.. Blank was a politi-
clan and banker. He was also an ele-
giant gentleman, with many influential
acquaintance on both sides of the wa
TEL.
Before leaving Richmond he had
long talk with Memminger, the secre-
tary Of the treasury.
"If l find that England will aid us, !"
he said, 81 will send you word by some
reliable blockade runner. 1t will be q
very brief message, but you will under
stand it, while it will mean nothing to
the enemy if it should be intercepted. !"
The confidential agent slipped through
the lines and in less than q month was
comfortably established in London. In
the metropolis he found many southern
ers and many prominent Englishmen
who sympathized with the secessionists.
He saw Mr.. Yancey the Confederate
minister, every day, and the two work.
ed together in harmony. Mr.. Yancey
was practical man and was not long
in coming to the conclusion that no aid
was to be expected from the British gov
eminent
"The abolition sentiment controls
here" he said to Mr.. Blank. "Some of
the statesmen would like to help the
south in order to break up the Union,
but the people will never consent. The
south will have to fight alone"
Blank felt pretty blue when he heard
this, and that night he wrote the single
word successful" on thin slip of pa

Tobacco an Essential.

In general order issued recently the
president virtually recognizes tobacco
as an article essential to the we'll being
and sustenance of the soldier in times
Of great exertion, as we'll as in times OF
peace and routine. The order, which
emanates from the war department,
reads as follows:
"Under the authority vested in him
by section 1146, revised statutes, the
president hereby establishes an emer-
gency ration for troops operating for
short periods under circumstances which
require them to depend upon supplies
carried upon their persons Its compo-
nent parts are as follows: Bacon, 10
ounces; hard bread, 6 ounces pea meal,
A ounces, or an equivalent in approved
material for making soup; coffee, roast
ed and ground, . ounces, or tea, half an
OUNCE saccbarin, grains; salt, "a
ounce; pepper, A ounce; tobacco, half an
ounce"
The secretary Of war directs that this
emergency ration be resorted TO only on
occasions arising in active operations
when the use of the regularly establish
ed ration may he impracticable; that.
although its nutritive qualities permit
its use on half allowance, it will not be
SO used except in cases of overruling ne
oessity and never for longer period
than ten days, and that not more than
five days emergency rations be carried
on the person at one time.
By order of the secretary of war, the
subsistence department will provide
tough paraffin paper for wrapping the
bacon; will furnish hard bread in grease
proof packages the pea meal in oylin-
drical packages, and the coffee, tea,
sacoharin, salt, pepper aud tobacco in
suitable packages. Washington Star.

Military Science.

1t seems to be the general opinion
among United States army officers that
the development of military science in
the immediate future will be in the di-
rection of simplified Notifications, great
er utilization of the bicycle and the ex-
tended use Of some form Of automatic
gun. The modern army engineer sees
little use in raising great mounds OF
earth such as used to be done when
hasty and even permanent works were
needed The bigger the earthwork the
greater the mark for the enemys guns.
A hole in the ground has been the theo-
retical formula for fort building, and
now that we possess fieldpieces with
disappearing carriages it can be prac-
tically carried out. A gun that is capa-
BILE Of rising out Of an innocent looking
hole, pouring forth great volleys of
death dealing bullets and then sinking
out Of sight, leaving hardly trace of
its presence and certainly nothing to fire
at, is formidable enough to invest the
new theory with all needful logic. II
would be to an enemy what the hollow
road near Waterloo was to the cuiras
siers Of Napoleon.
The rifle Of the future will be the au-
tomato rife. This is the conclusion of
military men not only of this, but Of
other countries. General Willie, Ger
man army expert on the subject of fire.
arms, says decisively that it will ulti-
mately be the rife in general use by the
armies of the world. It's particular point
of merit is it's capacity for doing away
with the mechanical operation of load
ing. In effect it does its own loading,
leaving the soldier free to attend to the
business of firing, thus concentrating his
attention on his opponent and rendering
his aim surer
AS pointed out by General Willie, the
force of the recoil of the automatic gun
is employed for charging and closing
the breech, and the firer has only to let
off the shot in order again to load the
weapon, SO that the number of shots dis
charged without an effort is precisely
the same as the total contents of the
magazine. The only comparatively
weak part of the automatic gun lies in
its springs, but, as they have been found
after tests made in Austria to Withstand
the wear and tear of from 10, 900 to H.
900 discharges, this does not count for
much. New York SIM

A STRAY ITEM OF NEWS
Culled from an Exchange in
Burlington, VI.

The reader may never have been in Bur-
lington, VT, and it is quite possible he may
never walk the streets of that picturesque
city which overlooks Lake Champlain, but if
he ever was he could have seen, and if he
ever is, he can see at No. 1o2 Hyde street, a
sign, which reads, "Walter w. Spear,
Painter and Decorator" A good, honest job
this painter does, whether printing sash or
putting the finishing coat on the most med
ern structure. When our representative
interviewed him he was completing an artistic
sign, and as he moved the varnsh brush
from side to side he frequently stopped and
pressed his disengaged hand in the small Of
his back for it ached and panied, and every
awkward or un ,remeditated move brought
him excruciating twinges. Our represent
alive quietly remarked, "Why don't you use
Doans Kidney Pills ?" "Well," replied Mr.
Spear, 81 have noticed score of advertise.
menls about this remedy in our local papers,
but thought they were like every other specific
which had tried" "Try them, and see"
our representative suggested; eff they don't
do you any good they won't do you any
HARM Some three weeks afterwards
second visit was made to Mr.. Spear. when the
following particulars were given by him for
publication; 81 suffered very badly from
kidney complaint and required something to
alleviate it. A dull, aching pain seated
itself deeply in my joints. If there was any
particular period of the day when it left me
entirely can't remember it. In the morning
it was terrible. l was almost doubled up
with it and often had to rub my back with
IN" hands in order to get some ease. If l
attempted to lift anything, far from gentle
reminders caught me in the back and

underwent the course Of treatment prescribed
by Doan's Kidney Pills l have not had a
