s'That British tradition about stand
ing up under fire doesn't hold good
among American officers" said Major
R. F. Bates, late of the Eighteenth,
speaking with the authority of thirty
two years. consecutive service. "We
don't do it, for several reasons. It
;sn't safe and it isn't sensible, and it
isn't just to the men. A soldier is,
or ought to be, a machine. He is
here simply to do the fighting and
;hei officers are there to do the think
.ng. No one man can do both at the
,ame time, and if the officers are killed
,he troops are like an engine without
IN engineer - very likely to go to
smash. Consequently. an officer who
aeedlessly exposes himself is wrong

course, when it is necessary to enthuse

Driving in Russian Cities.

In the larger cities of Russia there
is no limit to the speed at which
horse may be driven through the pub
lie streets. The typical harness horse
is the Orlof, breed founded by
Count Orlof- Chemenski, being a cross
between the Arabian stallion Sme-
tsnka and imported mares, principally
English. An average roadster is is
hands high and weighs 100 pounds,
with heavy name, bushy tail that
reaches nearly to the ground, and
"iron" limbs that show great muscu-
Jar. development. The favorite color.
is gray. Such an animal is driven
through the principal streets of st.
Petersburg at furious pace, that
portion near the centre and beside
the surface car tracks being reserved
for fast driving. During the winter
months teams of two and three abreast
are driven to sleighs alta three-minute
gait. There is racing all winter, the
courses being flooded at night to pro-
vide three inches of solid ice. Amer
ican pneumatic sulkies, harness,
boots, gaiting appliances, etc., are in
general use.-New York Press.

Dirt Immunes.

"All educated people know that
cleanliness is OF great sanitary value, "
said a prominent New Orleans ply
sician, "but I think you will be a
little surprised when I tell You that
dirt is also q protection against con-
tracing disease. Now don't jump at
conclusions" he continued, smilingly.
"The fellow who don't bathe and who
is uncleanly in his personal habits is
very apt to get sick, but if that un-
cleanliness is handed down through
several generations his .great-grand-
children will probably acquire GER
tain amount of toughness that renders
them immune to conditions which
would be very dangerous to other
people. That explains why folks who
have been brougnr up amidst filthy
surroundings are sometimes so
strangely hardy. They. sleep in vile
tenements, disregard ali sanitary
laws. drink contaminated water. eat
half. boiled food, and { seemingly
thrive. The casual observer is prone
to regard them as living proof that
the germ theory is all bosh. IF there
Was anything in it, he will say, all
those people would be down with
typhoid in q week. The truth is,
they are dirt immunes, so saturated
with the poison of hundred years
that the microbe has no power to harm
them, and the existence OF such cases
is no argument whatever against the
importance of sanitation. New Or
leans Times-Democrat.

Whore Ideas Have Cash Value.

The technical name for q person
who makes business Of selling bright
ideas is 'ghost," says the New York
World. Artists with technical genius
but blank minds as to ideas to be
carried out, regularly employ
GHOSTS" Some newspapers have re-
gular GHOSTS. b." A suggestion for a
caricature is worth money to them,
and they pay well.
There is another market for ideas.
and that is among the advertising
agencies. People who get up catchy
ads for merchants have a corps of
bright people. who do nothing but
make up combinations of pictures and
entertaining wording for advertising
certain classes, of goods.
A quick-witted "ghost" is worth
everything to the advertiser. His
whole fortune hangs on the success
with which he engages the public eye.
A young lady with an inventive turn
of mind. who does nothing but think
bright ideas for an art league, is paid
according to the catchiness of the
suggestion, from q quarter to $25 per
"think." .....

1ndolence Makes People Stout.

"Indolence, as it results in lack
of exercise" said man who is
compelled by his professional duties
to talk more about this subject than
any other physician in town, "has
more to do in the majority of cases
with the increase of flesh than any
thing else in the world. If men and
women could only be persuaded to
walk, instead of riding in carriages
and cable cars, half the number that
come to treatment would never have
reached that stage. After a while
they reach a point which makes exer-
else of such character entirely made
qnate to accomplish any real reduc-
ton. But if they had begun to take
the casual exercise that is always pos
sible, increase in size would not have
come in q manner impossible to over
come. The average man will say that
he does not walk to his Office because
he has not the time to spend in the
morning in this way. It would mean
no more than half au hours earlier
start, and he would gain in health
and strength what he could never get
in any other way. It is really indo-
lence that prevents him from taking
this amount of exercise. when the
weather and every other circumstance
is favorable. Women explain that
they cannot walk down town to the
shopping district because they don't
want to tire themselves before they
undertake social or other duties.
This is not good excuse in view of
the advantage they would derive from
the exercise. 1t is a lucky thing,
however, for the doctors, that few
people do walk, as great many
patients they have now would be able
to keep away from a DOCTORS Office, if
they had been prudent enough to fol-
low this advice. Whenever I see a
man or a woman getting into car or
a cab, I realize that they are riding
away from health, and in nine cases
out of ten, they are advancing rapidly
toward an amount of flesh which is
going to prove inconvenient. New

A Quaker City Cat Story.

, The family group were speaking OF
cats and their ways, and the peaceful
looking grandmother was asked to say
something.
The old lady smiled, sfor she is not
often sighted when in the; company of
younger people, and consented to tell
. story about a kitten. she. had when
che was child.
t."You know" she said, "I had a
stepfather, and he liked to see me
working about the house instead of
playing with kitten, so he ordered
me to throw it in the brook which ran
through our meadow.
ST was forced to do it, though I
cried great deal. Ithrew it in three
times, but the little thing struggled
out each time and finally dragged it.

so much that was allowed to keep
it. -......
"From that time on it was kind of
wild. not staying in the house, but
akulking around the barn. When it
was full grown it began to kill our
chickens, so my stepfather said it had

tied stone around it and drowned it.
After an hour or two he drew it from
the water and buried it..
"Now comes the part that is stranger
than fiction. Two days after the same
old yellow cat dragged itself up to the
barn. We visited the place we had
buried it and found it had come to
life and rid itself. Of the stone, in what
way I know not, and dug itself out.

OUR MAcAsesE SCOUTS.
Success Of the Batson Plan Of Employ
ing Natives in the Philippines.


Word comes from the Philippines
that the two companies OF Macabebe
scouts under Captain Batson are do
ing 30 we'll that it has been decided to
organize full battalion of these ma
tives. The additional two companies
will be very useful in the present
campaign, in tracking the fleeing rem
nants of Aguinaldo's disorganized
army.
When Captain Batson, Of the Fourth
Cavalry, organized his regiment of
"Macabebe scouts" there was much
speculation among army officers as to
whether the venture would prove
success or whether the Mscabebes
would prove, like the American Indian
scouts, unreliable. Many were of the
opinion that the Macabebes would
prove disloyal and that they would
either sell or confscate their arms
and equipments. As race the Ma
cabebes are enemies to the Tagalogs;
still there are many Macabebes who
have married into Tagalog families
and who, through domestic and COM
mercial association, have forgotten
the race feud and become strong
friends of the Tagalogs. 1t was feared,
therefore, that some of these men
would join, the scouts to secure guns
and ammunition and then desert and
join the insurgents. Many Macabebes
volunteered their services to the
United States long before the present
regiment was organized, and, while it
has been experimental, until recently
the Macabebes have been found both
loyal and brave.
The organization is now recruited
up to 200. There are four companies
of fifty men each. Their uniform
consists of blue linen shirt, khaki
trousers, q straw hat with wide,
blue band and eagle ornament
