1t does not by any means follow that
a good soldier will not make an eff
cient mayor, or governor, or congress
a Nevertheless, a warning is de-
manded because, in every close contest
of the near future, shrewd politicians
will put a soldier at the front. At
such a time a conscientious citizen
will view the situation most critically,
and make sure that, while planning
to honor a deserving hero, he is not
really strengthening the grip of the
Objectionable political boss.

At the present time there is only
one railroad in China, which was built
by Ii Hung Chang and is under the
control Of the government. The
trouble now threatening between Eng
land and Russia has arisen through
the reputation by China of a contract
with the Hongkong and Shanghai
bank to build a road from Tientsin via
Shan-Hai-Kwon to New-Chwang. The
bank is owned almost entirely by
English capitalists, although a few
Americans hold stock in it. The pro-
posed new road was an important
part of the railroad system under de-
velopment in China. At it's northern
terminal it Vas to have connected with
the Manchurian road, which formed
the connecting link with the great
transsiberian route. On the south it
would have tapped, through Tientsin
and the road reaching to the Yang
tse river, the rich valley which is
China's chief source of agricultural
wealth. The proposed road, which the
Hongkong and Shanghai bank held
the contract to build, ran through the
Russian sphere of influence. Con-
.sequently Russia brought great infu-
ence to bear upon the Chinese govern
ment to prevent the carrying out of
the terms of the contract.

A young Indian, recalling his baby
hood, when strapped to his mothers
shoulders he went ahead backward"
pathetically likens his race to that
condition. The United States govern
ment, however, is helping the Indian
youth as never before. Seventeen
schools, industrial and educational,
with an enrolment Of over fifteen
hundred pupils, are announced for the
current year. ut is not what is done
for us, but what We do for others,
which develops" wrote one Of these
pupils recently, which suggests the
hope that many young men among the
Indian pupils will devote themselves
to the uplifting of their race.

BOWS.

The Romans carried the bow to Brit
ain, where it at once obtained favor,
and during the middle ages was ex-
tensively used, forming an important
element of the armies of that period.
While universally used by the an
clients the form of the bow varied with
different nations. The Scythian bow
was in the form of the letter C and
the bow of the MISUNDERSTANDING
of the Scythians-still keeps
shape.
The English archers were said to
be the finest in the world and their
skill decided the battles of Crecy,
Poitiers and Agincourt. The bows
used were of two kinds, the long bow
and the arbalest or cross bow. The
arbalest was made of steel or horn,
and was of such strength and stiffness
that 1t was necessary to use some me-
chanical appliance to bend it and ad-
just the string. The arbalestiers car
ried a CULVER with fifty arrows and
were placed in the van of the battle.
The Greek bow was not more than
three or four feet in length, but so
stout and stiff that it required consid-
cradle strength and skill tn use it,
says Lippincott's Magazine. It is said
that the first Greek bows were made
from the horns of a species of goat,
the bases being united by means of 4
metallic band. Afterward other mate
rial was used in their manufacture,
but they still retained their original
These bows were too short to
be of much use, and. comparatively
speaking, but a small portion of the
troops were armed with them.

of the Atlantic liners of the North
German Lloyd company.
The principal dimensions are:
Length over all, $40 feet; extreme
breadth, 10 feet 9 inches; height from
bottom of pontoon to top of walls, 40
feet Z inches. The internal width is
sufficient to allow vessels UP to so feet
beam to be locked and the depth over
the keel blocks is "a feet. The maxi
mum lifting power is about IL, 900 tons.
The dock is what is known as the
s~elf-docking type, that is to say, access
to all external surfaces is possible for
painting or repairs. L~ongitudinally it
consists of two side walls, between
Which are connected three p%ontoons,
the center one being 240 feet long and
the two end pontoons 1876 feet. The
pumping and controlling machinery
consists Of eight horizontal centrifugal
circulating pumps, placed four in each
wall of the dock. These pumps have
large vertical shafts geared by means
of bevel wheels and horizontal shafts
to two sets of compound engines of
49, PO'NA N"Shs hlSA are pldCSu
on a deck lei the top of the walls.
There are four engines in all and each
of them drives two fifteen-inch centri-
fugal pumps, the whole machinery be-
ing capable of lifting a ship of about
1000 tons displacement clear of the
water in about two and one-half hours.
The dock is divided into thirty-eight
uator- tioh+ Nooor4-,a-
tied or filled by separate valves. Each
engine is supplied by a large, horizont-
al multi-tubular marine boiler which is
placed in the walls in close proximity
to it.

While drunk a train had run over

two broken whiskey bottles, some of
tho glass of which was ground into
his body. In that place there had
been sold during the past year over
1900 barrels of beer. There are but
400 families in the community, and
