In the use Of his patronage. A serv-
Ice which offers large promises OF pro-
motion and distinction has been eager

litical and social, has been brought to
bear upon the man who really con-
trolled nominations, for the sirdars
recommendations have been invariably
respected at the war office. But in no
case has aught but merit awaited and
the result is that the officers now serv-
Ing in Egypt are "the pick of the

queens service. We may confidently
expect those trained in Egypt to rise
In due course to the very top Of the
tree. The present generation of dis
tinguished soldiers is passing away.
At the end Of another decade, soldiers
of the school Of Wolseley and Of Rob-
erts will be mostly disqualified by age

for their successors among the young
men now coming to the front. Oppor-
tunity Is the only sure avenue to sue

the most of 1t rise fastest and highest.
In this way Egyptian service has Of
fered the most abundant chances OF

Tho vauishInp Buffalo.

1t Is estimated that there are in all
about six hundred bison living in cap
tivity, most Of them in a half-domesti-
Gated state, and in this total are in
cluded the few in geological gardens in
America and Great Britain and on the
Continent. The Montana herd Of about
two hundred and fifty is the largest
and most remarkable, for they are not
restrained by fences, but wander at
will like range cattle. Moreover, they
have been crossed with polled Angus
stock. The young beasts are said to
be magnificent animals, with fur that
is finer and closer than that of the
bison, and they yield NOSE excellent
meat. Nearly all the cross-bred ami
mails retain much OF, the instinct Of
their wild progenitofs. In by-gone
times bison rarely succumbed to the
billiards.. They punched together, in
a wedge-shaped mass, the bulls occu-
plying the outside and protecting the
cows and caves. mus they were en-
abled to survive the widest storm, be-
fore which domestic cattle would be
driven away, and wander miles from
their pastures, to perish for want Of
food. The next largest herd is that
in the Yellowstone Park. Here the
poacher is the great difficulty the au-
thorities have to contend with, and
this is not surprising when a bison
skin or good head will fetch a hum
dred dollars. Two troops Of cavalry
are quartered in the Park to act a.
forest rangers. Three years ago there
were still about two hundred in the
bison herd; but last year they had
dwindled to fifty.
