his term prefers to enter civil life,
either as a reserve soldier or a dis
charged one, what are his chances of
obtaining employment? First, there is
already a certain amount of govern
ment employment reserved for him.
/ The postmaster-g general has decided
that certain vacancies among provin-

postmen in London are in future to be
offered to discharged soldiers and army
reserve men of good character Work
is also provided for many old soldiers
in the royal arsenal, the royal army
clothing department, the army ord

other government departments. Sec
ondly, many ex-soldiers obtain employ
ment in the metropolitan police and in
borough police and county constabulary
throughout the United Kingdom,
Thirdly, employment for deserving SOL
diers is likewise afforded by many of
the railway companies and in the corps
of commissionaries Fourthly, regis
ter for civil employment Is kept at the
headquarters of all regimental dis
tricts, with the view of assisting dis
charged or transferred soldiers of good
character to obtain employment in civ
il life. Filthy, national association
for the employment of reserve and dis

for the purpose of introducing to en-
ployers of labor soldiers of reliable

One word in conclusion about the
darkest spot in Tommy Atkins record
for the past year There were 4107 de-
serters, and 17S9 discovered their mis-
take, and like wise men, returned to
the ranks before they drlfted, as they
would have done, into mischief, and
ruined themselves for life.-Chambers'
Journal.

THE difficulty with recruiting now"
said veteran staff sergeant, who was
accosted by the writer, lis that they
look at everything so very much from
a business point of view. They're not
fellows who are broke; they join the
ranks because they get SO much rela-
Bile comfort-food and lodging and time
for taking pleasure without being too
tired to enjoy it. Still, whenever there
is a war-scare on there's always plenty
to come up to the scratch. One thing
is, there's no good telling lies to them
no good at all. They know very we'll
indeed what they're doing when they
come to me-"
Still, they do come. See the smart,
well-dressed country candidate, the de-
cent-looking ex-carman, the shy look
ing sprig of the educated middle class,
the eallous-looking member of the toll
ing lower class, all ready-nay, eager
to take the queens shilling. But late
ly baronet's son Joined the ranks, and
so did the son of Montreal medical
professor in McGill university. Young
fellows who have failed at Sandhurst;
varsity men of spirit, siclened with
the dismal prospect of a curacy at sew
enty-five pounds a year; other fellows
out of a love of adventure and desire
to see the world across the seas; de-
cent mechanics and honest 1aborers,
tired of the monotony of their lives or
out of a job through spree, are all
found at the recruiting depot.
Let us see what actually are the
young soldiers conditions and pros
poets to-day with the colors. During
the past year an addition has been
made to the army of $3.50 men, so that
in the estimates for 1S99-1900 the num-
Der of men of all ranks in the total of
the regular army, exclusive of India, Is
returned at 1871, S53. The, establishment
of British regiments in India Is given
as 1857, practically the same as last
year.
Tommy Atkins when he first dons his
uniform has, broadly speaking, the
same chances before him that youth
has who quits his fathers house to en-
ter an office in a city of about two
hundred and fifty-eight thousand in
habitants. To put In the briefest posi-

IN Labette county, Kansas.
Wilson O'Neal and wife emigrated to
Kansas when it was yet territory and
settled where they now live, being
near what is now known as Minerva, a
country pcstoffice. They built a two
room log cabin, there living and toll
ing, turning the then wild prairie into
what is now a beautiful farm. There
they raised their children, who have
since married, own their own homes,
and are raising their own families.
The old folks had liv5d in a day
when economy was the watchWord,
and were gratified at the result by find
themselves comfortably situated in
their declining years. They continued
to live in the old log cabin, but their
children insisted On their taking the
comforts OF modern home. The old
folks consulted with one another, as
had always been their custom, with the
result that a large new house was built
near the site of the old homestead, the
old log cabin remaining unframed.

TRAINS WERE APPROACHING

Flint River Bridge, Near Albany,

, About O'Clock few mornings ago
a section of the Plant System bridge
, spanning Flint river at Albany COLI
lapsed and fell with terrific crash.
The wrecked section is about seventy
five feet in length and the rails at that
point were about thirty five feet from
the ground.
An hour before the section fell a
heavily loaded local freight passed over
IN safety, and a half dozen other
trains. some of them with many pas
sengers aboard, were due to cross be-
fore noon. bridge gang was at
work on the trestle at the time of the
accident and one of the labOrers,
white man, fell from the very top OF
the structure in the midst of a heavy
mass of timbers without sustaining the
slightest injury. His escape from In
slant death seems miraculous
The wrecked section of the bridge is
, at the edge Of the river on the west
side. 1t is remarkable that the freight
train which had just passed over did
not go through, and had the passen-
ger train due from brownsville a few
hours later struck the collapse the loss
of life would have been frightful. The
bridge is one of the longest in the state
and the spans are of steel. 1t is used
by the Brunswick and Western and the
Savannah, Florida and Western lines
of the Plant System, and as the break
cannot be repaired in several days
traffic on those lines will be seriously
hindered.

THE PESTS AND THE TREES.
Insects More Abundant This Year Than
Ever Before

Insects More Abundant This Year Than
Ever Before
According to reports which have been
received by Professor Scott, the state
entomologist, the freeze last February
didn't kill all of the varons kinds of in
sects which atflict fruit trees in this
state. 1t was thought by many that the
freeze was not an unmixed evil. Although
it practically destroyed the peach crop it
was asserted it would rid the peach
trees Of the San Jose scale, the peach
scale and the web worm. 1t is stated
by Professor Scott that all of these pests
appear to be more abundant this year
than ever before, particularly in south
Georgia. 1t, therefore, the freeze killed
some If them it left enough to bring
forth an abundant supply of tree-killing
germs this season.
The thing for the fruit growers to do
is to begin fighting the pests at once. If
they don't know what remedies to apply
they should consult the state entomolC-
gist. He has just issued circular Civ
ing the information which fruit growers
need. There ought be no delay in exam,
lining orchards nor in applying remedies
where the pests are found. A vigorous
war on them this summer may Ee the
means of saving both trees and crop

couple engaged in returning their be-

Five years ago Henry Ballantyne

Startling Increase of Cancer.

A society for the purpose of combat
ting the disease of cancer was formed
in Londnia few days ago. Sir Charles
Cameron, enc of its members, made a
startling - stement relative to the in
crease of cancer in New York. He
said the number of deaths from that
disease in that city had doubled in the
last ten years, and that it was calculat-
ed if the increase was maintained
that there would be more deaths from
cancer in 1909 than from consumption ,
smallpox and typhoid fever combined
