Feeding an Army.

During his period OF service a British
soldier is entitled to three-quarters OF a
pound OF fresh meat and one pound OF
bread daily, and when on active serv'
ice the meat is increased to one pound,
and free ration Of groceries and vege'
tables is also Issued.
The average bullock when slaughter
ed and cut up by the army butchers
will yield 700 pounds OF meat, and
i.343 bullocks must die to provide the
troops with one days ratlons. Suppos-
Ing that the operations In the field oc-
cupy six months and the soldiers get
fresh meat twice week. then. In
round numbers. 10000 bullocks must
be butchered.
This fresh meat must be eked out
with no less than 10. 100000 pounds OF
sailed meat or preserved yictuals, and
we get a grand total CT 100000
pounds, or $500 tons Of bullock.
The army eats up $4,000 pounds OF
bread daily. and bread contains a quar-
ter OF It's weight in -four. In 20 weeks
1t will require 100000 pounds Of -four,
or $1,000 bushels.

THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

In the Revue des Revues NJ. Jean
Fnot has a most sensible article on the
decline Of the French language. lie
points out that at the end OF the cen
fury French was the language spoken
by the greatest number Of civilized peo-
pie, whereas now II stands fourth. Eng
lish Is spoken by 100000, Russian
by S5,0O0,0O0. German by S0,OOO,OOC
and French by 5S,OO0,OO0. Moreover,
II Is falling Off and is being caught mp
by Italian and Spanish. He then exam
Ines the causes Of this decline and finds
them I'm the political situation OF
France. Under Louis XIV and Napo-
leon the French language was at Its
height. Waterloo began its decadence,
and Sedan finished It, and II foreigners
now do not learn French II Is because
they find It more profitable to learn
English or even German. Only last
year French was removed from the
curriculum OF the commercial schools
OF Amsterdam because the volume OF
trade with France was so small as not
to make the study Of the language
worth while NJ. Finot then gives his
compatrlots some excellent advice and
urges them to abandon that strict pro
lection which has ruined their foreign
trade and to give up that narrow and
lntolerant nationallsm which dIsgusts
foreigners.
"Let u.s." he concludes, III we cannot
be the most powerful nation In the
world, be at least the most intelligent.
the most liberal and the most amIable."

Min Town without a Mayor

A remarkable example Of the new
mill towns which have recently sprung
up about the southern cotton mills is
the town of Pelzer, 8. c., which now
has about 1000 inhabitants, Of whom
about 5000 are employed In four cot
ton mills situated there. The corpora
ton owing the mills owns the town
also and will sell no part Of the land,
leasing It to preferred persons for linn
tied periods. Captain John Smith is
the head Of the corporation and conse-
quently the presiding genius In the
town. The town has no mayor, no
council, no police, no courts and no
lawyers. The sale Of intoxicating liz
uors Is prohibited. There Is no news
paper in the place. No one is permitted
to live In the town who cannot show a
clean past Observation-Disclosures.

noer Artillery of Other Day.

"Apropos Of the Boer artillery. which
has lately astonlshed the world" re-
marked a New Orleans engineer. 81 am
reminded of an incident Of the former
Transyaal war that has now pretty
generally passed out OF recollection.
On that occasion It was supposed the
burghers had no great guns at all. but
they suddenly put 10 an appearance
with entirely homemade artillery COM
posed OF fieldpieces manufactured by
a native named Herman Raas. The
cannon were made OF gas pipe wound
with wagon tires and were mounted on
the fore trucks Of OK carts. They had
a range Of 1900 yards. or over a mile,
and, according to the official British re-
ports Of the time, they made excellent
practice have a photograph of one
Of the guns among my collection Of Gu
rios, and a stranger looking or more
uncouth machine 1t would be difficult
to imagine. But II got there all the
same, and the episode strikes me as
significant, because It reveals an in
yentive genius with which the Beers
are not usually credited. "-New Or

Sure Enough Tale.

In one of the private schools here in
town there is a small boy who is al
Why's cheerfully miles behind every
body else. He Is not a dull boy, but
learning does not appeal to him as be-
ing a thing especially to be desired.
Recently the teacher told the class In
composition that on the next day she
would expect each Of them to be able
to write a short anecdote. She ex-
planned with great care the meaning OF
the word anecdote, and next day when
she called the class up to write all but
the laggard went at once to work.
"Why don't you write an anecdote,
RobY" asked the teacher.
II forget what an anecdote u.s." said
Rob, undisturbed-
II explained to you yesterday, Rob,
and you ought to remember" said the
teacher, a bit out Of patience. AN
anecdote is a tale. Now write"
Rob bent over his slate and, with
much twisting Of brow and writing
of lip ground out his task. When the
states were collected, his was at the
very top of the heap. The teacher
picked it up, and this is what she read:
yesterday we had soup made from
the anecdote Of an ox."-Youth's Com
nanion.

under this treatment, the urra nrr m.s,
get his foot in the stirrup, raise the
body slowly and gradually up and lean
across the back Of the colt without
putting the leg across him. He should
continue doing this for half I'm hour
from both sides of the colt and then
slip his right leg quietly over him. He
should settle the body we'll down in
the saddle and move the arms and legs
continuously about him. He should
move them cautiously at first and
gradually increase the motion accord
Ing to the behavior of the colt. He
should mount and dismount often on
boil sides Of him and never appear to
be In a hurry by wishing to accom-
plish In ten minutes what it will take
an hour and a half to execute properly.
Some breakers recommend mounting
the colt in a court or any large In.
closure, but it is always attended with
more or less danger, both to the colt
and the rider, owing to the close prox-
Unity Of the walls of the building.
Therefore mounting in the open is ur-
gently recommended for general safety.
The best system is to take the colt
into the center Of a large field-stubble
II possible-and in addition to the reins
a long coil of cord should be attached
20 his head In front, so that if any
mishap occur he car be prevented from
running away by keeping hold of the
cord. The cord should be loosely roll
ed up and suspended from the left arm
of the rider.
He should get the colt, by gently
fondling him, to stand perfectly steady,
and this will best be effected by CIV
ing him half an hours coursing in the
long rein previously. AS soon as he is
quiet he should take the reins, along
with a full handful of his name, in the
left hand and place the right hand on
the off side of the saddle. with the
whip lying horizontally under the palm,
insert the left foot in the stirrup. raise
the body gradually up, and, whenever
the balance is reached, slip the leg
quietly yet swiftly across him and in
sert the foot in the stirrup. He should
settle the body we'll down in the saddle,
keep a cool head and always be ready
for any emergency.
In putting the colt into motion the
breaker should keep his hands we'll
down on the front of the saddle and
urge him gently with the heels. 1t is
always better to ride him without
spurs at first. If the colt does not ap-
pear inclined to start, the breaker
should draw gently on the left rein, at
the same time closing the left leg
against him and OAK him by kind, as
surfing words.
J When he moves forward, the breaker
should not be overparticular in forcing
him to 60 in any special direction, but
should keep him circling widely round
at a walk. The colt should not be trot-
| ted nor galloped until he is quite ia
| miliar with all the riders movements
| in the saddle.
If the colt should plunge and rear.
the breaker must bend well forward
