large. To belong to the regular
army of the United States is some
thing worth striving for. Never,
under this system, will the nation
lack recruits.
Perhaps the British war Office will,
in time, cast away tradition and
adopt similar system. When it
does it is safe to say recruiting will
be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The Dalles Daily Chronicle.
TWO sYsrEMS coMPARED.

The British war Office is reported
to be again at it's wits end TO secure
recruits for the army, condition
that frequently exists in peace time
in Great Britain. With the immense
population the country possesses,
much of which is in excess of the
productive capacity of the home
islands, it would, on the face of it,
appear remarkable that so few young
men are willing to enter the military
service. A glance into the existing
conditions, however, shows several
reasons why the better element in
the British manhood shuns a military
career.
Small pay, of course, is the first
item which may be numbered in the
list of objections. Next, there is
the absence Of a chance for pro-
motion. Rare, indeed, are the in
stances in the British army where
men from the ranks have been given
commissions. Between the enlisted
man and the officer the breach is as
broad as centuries of tradition can
make it. No matter how excellent
the soldier may be or how fitted he
is for command, commission is not
for him. The British race is growing
more democratic every year, and
the young Briton no longer accepts
with the grace his father did the
consequences of lowly birth. He
wants a chance to work his way
upward and sees no opportunity to
do SO in the army. II is not a lack
of martial spirit that deters him
from entering the service of the
queen, nor is it lack of patriotism,
for the Briton is every whit as fond
of fighting and as true to his country
as ever, but, minor objections aside,
the idea of entering a service where
ne will ever be ranked as an inferior
being and subject TO severe discipline
to him is most repulsive.
Low though the pay of American
soldiers is, it is far better than that
given British soldiers. as well it may
be, considering the fact that our army
is small in comparison with that of
Great Britain, and in addition such
allowances are made the American
soldier as to insure him a comfortable
living and chance to save a little
of his pay. In addition, promotion
from the ranks is frequent. To a
bright and studious young soldier
the way is open to rise to the highest
rank. It is coming to be recognized
IN the army that while the military
academy is necessary for the technical
instruction of the greater portion of
the officers of the army, some of the
most excellent officers come from
the ranks. Officers themselves rec
ognize that the training of actual
service in the ranks is splendid prep
alation for command. This is proven
by the fact that the sons of many
officers who themselves are West
Pointers, enlist with their fathers
consent in the ranks and work their
way up.
This system gives the army the
best material to be had. No longer
can the riff raft of humanity enter
the army At every recruiting office

Editorial association. He was bright politician, lucid writer and lover of wit No man ever worked for him that did not learn to like him. He would not take the editorship of a New York daily, but others who worked under him have obtained positions on the editorial staff of more than one metropolitan journal. His printers, to, have taken their places on such papers as the Press, Tribune and Times.
 He was a stickler for good work, and was as fond of his paper as peacock of it's feathers. The Gazette was quoted all over the country, and he always re- ciprocated the favors of it's exchanges.
 The following standing quotation used to appear on the editorial page of the Gazette when the present writer was employed thereon: "There's man among you taking notes and f faith he'll print them.' Yes, MT. Holden, there was a man with you, too, taking notes, but who would have thought he'd print them? However, may the sloping lawns of Yonkers be forever green to thy vision, and may the muddy waters of the Nepperhan long continue to you their incessant tale of the industry and thrift of your beloved town! And may your health long continue as rugged as the bleak and picturesque palisades!

RESTORING wELsBACH MANTLEs

A recent number of "Neueste Err findungen" contains an interesting ac- count of an obseration, mad by Herr Franck by which the Illuminating pow CT of the Welsbach mantles may be restored. The method was described by the author at one of the meetings of the Polytechnischer Verein in Ber- lin. As Is well known, the nlantles de- cline in Illuminating power after they hae been in use for some time. This luminosity may be restored to cer- tain deree by blowing out the mantle from the inside while it is burning which can be accomplished with the aid of a small glass Or paper tube.
 The president the society stated that he had personally tested the me thod and had ound 1t effective, and in consequence, recommendable. In order to acilitate the carrying out of the pro- cess the German Incandescent Cas- light company manufactures tube, mounted in a rubber ball, which is very convenient for the purpose.-From The Engineering and Mining Journal.

Some "Reminiscences.

I was sitting at my desk the other
 evening reading craft journal Among
 a number of items appertaining to the
 newspaper business was one which read
 the Yonkers Gazette" I read no more.
 Immediately I went into a retrospective
 mood and the nervous, 1.-the and erect
 figure of Editor Holden loomed up be-
 fore my minds eye-the figure of the kind and generous man who was never
 known to let the ubiquitous tramp
 printer go out of his office without the
 offer of a days work, and who would
 rather be the editor and owner of a
 country weekly than the editor of a
 great city daily.
 Holden was offered the edtorship of New York paper at a very comforta- ble salary but he refused. His sole ! thought, energy and ambition were cen- | tered on the Yonkers Gazette. Artemus Ward was once on it's payroll and Josh Billings never forgot the encouragement Holden gave him in his initial attempts at literary fame. The last article from his pen was written for the Yonkers Gazette. Perhaps Holden was esteemed more by the printers than by the wri- ters. l have known him to put men to work just to help them along when half the office were kicking because there was not enough to do. Some of those he would put on were indeed "charac- ters." I shall never forget one chap who came along one biting cold winters day He had an overcoat as old as Me- thuselah's hat. He came into the com- posing room, walked to the stove, turned his back to it, took his coat off and com- menced surveying the place. In a few moments the "devl'' happened along and espied thin cloud of blue smoke arising between the stranger and the stove. Of course, being devil of a dew il, the apprentice never thought of tell ing the stranger about his discovery; but he made it a special point to notify everybody else in the office. Tittering and giggling became general for a few minutes, much to the annoyance of the man at the stove. Finally some one more charitable than the rest shouted to him that something was burning. The stranger wheeled around and the com positors beheld two ringlets of scarlet on the posterior of the mans pantaloons. The seat of his pants had caught fire. The reply he made to the general laugh that followed was that it was a mighty lucky thing he was not standing with his face to the stove. His breath, he asserted, contained so much alcoholic fiji E.o vn,,JI blow up the building. He spoke with a broad Scotch accent and was undenia- bly, wit. When asked his name he re- piled Scotty Douglas, a fictitious name but he was known by it as long as he

legged damages to his property by sand being washed from the road over his lot. Selectman Hall and Attorney Fowler were to meet Bridget yesterday at his home and investigate as to the damage claimed to have been done.
