WOMEN AND THE ARMY.
In Great Britain They Are in One
Sense an Important Part of 1t.
Harper's Magazine.

This regimental family is, as a. rule, by
no means an EvelesS Eden: several of the
officers will probably be married men, and
the ladies are usually recognized as mem
bers of the regimental family, and are quite
as keen as their husbands TO maintain in
every way the honor and credit of the corps.
The regiment likewise feels that the married
ladies belong to it quite as much as do their
husbands; and outsiders are occasionally
made to repent an action, possibly uninten-
tional. which has been construed into So
cial slight on one OF these ladies. In some
regiments the ladies all dine at mess with
their husbands brother officers on Christ
mas night; in others, other little friendly
customs exist. identifying. them with the
CORDS: and in the case of all regimental
entertainments the wife of the senior Of

the reader must not run away with the idea
that matrimony is at all encouraged in the
cavalry; very far from it. 1t is recognized
that human frailty is such that some allow
ance must be made for senior officers, but
the married subaltern is not likely to find
himself popular, and unless a very good
chan, may receive a strong hint to remove
himself and his bride to some other regf-
ment. The feeling about matrimony may
be summed up as follows: The colonel
should be married-a bachelor colonel in the
mess is not always joy forever; majors.
especially If grumpy and livery In the
mornings may be married: captains should
not be married; and subalterns must be
bachelors-though sad to say, they often
prove quite as susceptible as their seniors.
The chief reason tor TINS ieellhg against
matrimony is that it is bad for the mess.
Married officers only pay half the usual
mess subscriptions through their agents.
and as they seldom dine in the mess. the
cost of maintaining proper establishment.

heavily on the bachelor members. Also the

A vALHALLA FOR AMERICA.
Plea for Place of Honor for the IL
IustriOus Dead.

1t has been the immemorial custom of
civilized nations to honor their heroic dead
with especial and exclusive sculpture.
Among all races the idea has always been
prevalent that those persons who have sue
ceeded in extraordinary dchlevements,
thereby distinguishing themselves from the
multitude, should be separated in death,
that their names and the glory of their
deeds might thus be perpetuated.
Among the earlier nations 1T was particu-
larly desired that rare honors should be
which we find classically typified in the
Valhalla Of the Morse mythology. The VAL
halla was the temple of the fallen heroes,
where they abided Immortality. and whittier
they were borne by the direction of Odin,
by the valkyries, maidens who served at
the Valhalla banquets, and from whence
they were sent TO pick out those TO be slain
in battle and hear their souls away.
Hence the word valhalla has come TO be
applied to any. edifiee which has been spe-
cially set apart as receptacle for the me-

Internal Revenue Law Rulings.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The commits
sioner Of internal revenue has ruled that
memorandum OF sales or transfers of
stocks or agreements to deliver the same
at any future time are taxable under clause
one of Schedule A. of the new revenue act
at the rate of cents for each 800 repre-
scented, and not at the uniform rate of 10
cents for each memorandum under the head
of certificates in the same act. The COM
missioner has also held that in cases of re-
insurance, where one insurance company re-
insures the risks or parts of risks of an
other company, no stamp is required where
the transaction is confined to book entries.
But where the transaction involves the is
sue of a new policy, such policy is subject to
the same tax as if it were an original policy.
