CHINESE BOYS.
They Will Make Better Soldiers Than
Their Fathers Ever Were.

In China the boy soldiers are better
drilled than the men. Every Chinese
banner regiment has its troops of boy
soldiers, carefully exercised, and far
superior in discipline to the rest of
the army. They carry old filnt-locLi
muskets, and show themselves expert
in the use of those antiquated weap.
ons. The military spirit, which seems
almost extinct in China, If the behav-
ior of the Chinese armies in the war
with Japan is any indication, seems to
be strong yet in the children, and this
fact gives some promise that the fu-
ture of China will not be altogether
clouded. American boys could not
show greater earnestness or readiness
than these little soldiers of the Orient,
to whom China will ere long be look
ing for support and defense, These
boyish evolutions took place at the re-
cent triennial review of the forces of
the southern provinces of China.

were preparing to depart l saw that
'the General had stolen the little
mirror and was studying his own
countenance with great delight! He
had placed the glass on top of the
hand organ, and he bent over it again
and again, making the queerest faces.
He afterward picked up his mirror
and looked at himself earnestly and
cOntentedly at different angles. His
face had been very sad, like the faces
Of most monkeys | have seen. but now
the wrinkles smoothed themselves out,
and he nearly smiled.
Why is it that dogs hardly ever look
upon Il picture as anything but a fiat
surface with patches of color dotted
over it.? In all my large canine
acquaintance | know but one dog who
sees that portraits are likcnesses of
people. AS for his own reflection in
n glass, n dog generally mistakes it
for an enemy, and goes" for it!
Later, when knocks on the nose and
absence Of scent have done their part
in convincing him of his mistake, IA
dog will look coldly, not to say de-
spitefully, at the mirror. Sometimes
it is as if dogs resented their reflec-
tions as caricatures of themselves.
