ARMY LIFE.
It's Social informally Constitutes One of
Its Great Charms.


Army life is informal to a degree,
said Mrs Custer, during recent inter
view. 1.-THE custom of using cards when
calling is only of very recent date
among officers wives. When I lived in
garrison, we should never have dreamed
of such thing. 1t is only at few of
the larger posts, near the cities, where
there is anything like the formality of
civic life. The people in garrison arc
like one great family. Nothing that
deeply concerns any member is a matter
of indifference to the Others and the
spirit Of good fellowship is universal.
In time of sickness the friendly helpful
ness Of the women for each other is
shown strongly Many time have
known number of women to detail
themselves, in regular military fashion,
to duty in the house of sickness ut Ger.
tain hours, relieving one another
through the day and night with abso.
lutte precision, so that the sick person
should never be left without an attend
ant
with all this close intimacy there
is surprisingly little friction or i'll feel
ing. There are, of course, at every post
few people who are disagreeable or
hard to get along with, but they cause
no more trouble in general than they
do in their own households. They be-
long, we feel, to our army family. and
their shortcomings must be overlooked
just as we should overlook tho faults of
husband or brother or sister No dis
,inctions between rich and poor are
ever observed. There is occasionally a
question about calling upon new ar
rivals, but it is solely on account of
reputation and honor If there has been
anything discreditablo to the good
hame of an officer or his wife. the cir
cumstances must DO investigated before
other families of tho post will call. "

Where Princes Are Sacred.

When young prince of Japan wishes
to learn the mysteries of ohirography,
young maidens bring paper, others make
the ink and prepare the paint brush.
The master expresses admiration by
gesture and face, for no words must be
spoken by him to the prince, his mouth
even being bandaged that his breath
may not blow upon the face of the
prince. The teacher must move about
in the quietest mahnrr and give COM
mendatiou only.

Origin of n Name.

The origin Of the name Fife is not
known. One historian tries to show
that it comes from the Celtic word
veach, Pict. and means that the dis
trict was inhabited by Picts, but that is
obviously absurd, as Fife was not spe-
cially the home of any Of the Pictish
nations. The tradition that finds great
est favor is related by q monk, who
states that the first known possessor of
the district which has since grown into
the kingdom of Fife was one Fifus
Duffus, a famous chieftain whose date
is lost in the mists of antiquity. .
