Military and Field Music.

Military and Field Music.
Considering the antiquity Of the
trumpet and the drum. and their obvi-
GUS adaptability to sounding signals,
Il would seem as IL field music must
have originated simultaneously With
these instruments. Thnt soldiers
marched and fought to their. martial
strains In the most ancient times we
know from passages in the Bible aud
the classics. But there lie q difference
between military and field music. The
former is played BY the regimental
bands. and consists chiefly Of marches
aud inspiring airs. the latter Is played
on the field Of battle, to fire the soldiers
heart. Field music is sounded" by the
bugle. the trumpet, the drum. or the
drum and fife. and consists OF a sys.
tenn Of signals by which, instead OF by
word OF mouth, commands are convey.
ed to the troops. 1t is impossible to
discover when the first system Of this
kind originated. Probably It developed
gradually. The fact that trumpet or a
drum can be heard much more distinct
ly on the battlefield than an officers
voice, which might at the most i'm
portant moment be lost in the din. is
so obvious that signals for the most
usual commands. "charge" and ire
treat" must have come into use with
the instruments capable of sounding
them, other signals being gradually
added.-Century.

to the care and skill with which it is

all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the

given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is

THE Use of Hot nrinrSs.

Hot drinks have come into wide use
during late years among persons afflict-
ed with indigestion. A tepid fluid ex-'
erts a marked sedative influence on the
gastric mucous membrane and often re-.
lieyes the painful sensations following
the meals Of a chronic dyspeptic.
Less recognized perhaps is the in
fiuence of hot drinks On the motor
functions OF thu stomach. In the or
binary course of events nothing remains
in the stomach six hours after a meal,
and the presence of alimentary debris
after that period indicates the presence
Of some degree Of muscular paresis.
This condition of things may be greatly
benefited by the use of hot water with
Or immediately after meals, but in
chronic cases permanent benefit can only
be obtained by perseverance, the treat
ment being inethodically carried out for
some months.
AS might be anticipated, the hot wa
ter treatment, does not ameliorate the
secretory defects in the same degree as
the muscular weakness, but by main
tanning the stomach in hygienic con-
dition we may, at any rate, hope to
check further degradation of the peptic
glands. The temperature Of hot drinks
should be from 105 to 10 degrees F.

ga DANGEROUS Man."

Here is a story illustrative of the
ignorance of the colonies that once pre-
vailed in the colonial Office and is not
yet entirely banished from Downing

Carnarvon, when colonial secretary,

Carnarvon in Downing street, and in

Statistics of Marriage.

The chances at birth that baby will
eventually marry are in 20, or rather
less than one half. This'result may seem
surprising, but it is largely accounted
for by the great mortality of persons un-

fants up to the age of 5. No fewer than
38 per cent of babies die before they are
years old, and A per cent of the
whole population before the age of is.
In England, as in this country, accord
ing to belief, the females outnumber the
males.
Out of every 100 persons now living,
go are single, 35 are married and are

son in every 20 you meet in the streets,

Digging For Fish.

The natives of Kottiar, in Africa, are
in the habit of digging every year, in
the summer, the dry banks of the Ver-
gel river for fish, which they dig out by
hundreds, just as they would potatoes.
The mud Jumps are broken open and
the fish, perhaps 8 or 10 inches long,
will always be found alive, and often
frisky, as if just removed from it's sup
posedly native element-the water. In
the dry beds of several African rivers a
similar practice is often pursued. A
Kind of mud fish buries itself while the
bottom is still moist, and remains there
all the summer, waking up when the
rains commence again.
