H. IL, French Army.

French req ments are now known
by their numbera. but before 1891 they
were called after their province or
their chiefs. The officers are appoint
ed from the military schools. entrance
to which is gained by competitive ex-
animation, and a certain proportion
rise from the ranks The question OF
how TO recruit men for a term OF BerV-
ice long enough to enable them 20 be-
come tolerably non-commlssloned ON
GERS. has been partly solved by the
creation OF the school for onfants de
troupe. There are six such schools;
four for Infantry. one for cavalry and
one for artillery and the engineer
corps. About 5000 boys are thus in
structed. Chosen from among the
sons OF corporals or sergeants. then
enlist at the age OF eighteen for a
period OF Ave years. and thus have
time TO be turned into good non-com-
mlssioned officers. These are also ro-
crultod from among the volunteers;
In France. as In every other country.
there are plenty OF youths from Is TO
Fl who have dreams OF military Ifs
and rapid promotion. Tho French law
allows such young men to enlist for
four or five years. and these also serve
long enough TO become available NJ
non-commlssioned officers. Besides,
many ordinary soldiers manage 10 at
tain the rank OF corporal before their
first year OF service. and the gold
stripes OF sergeant after the second:
they are destined to become the non
commissioned officers Of the reserves.
Punishment in the French army may
be very severe. but the severer forms
are not often inflicted. For faults
| against discipline n soldier may be-
confined to barracks. sent to tho
/ guardroom. to the regimontal prison,
or TO the barrack cells. non-conimls-
stoned officers only having power to
inilict the first punishment II n man
proves incorrlglble. he Is drafted into
special companies and sent 10 Algeria.
Grimes committed by soldiers are
judged by court martial. The military
code Is somewhat antlquated nova
days, and much too severe 1t will
probably soon be remodeled. At
present there are no less than thirty
three crimes punishable with death,
and among them the following Of
lenses: Assault on a superior (even on
a eorporaD when on duty. assault on
a sentry lin some cases) armed re.
bellion when the rebels are eight at
least, etc. But II must be remem-
bered that no execution has taken
place In recent years"

The "third-class men" at West Point
Military Academy have been given a

The cadets thought that one OF the
officers, Lieut. Lindsey, was too strict

give him rebuke. One evening, when
the cadets were all assembled In the
dining room. Lieut. Lindsey entered.
Immediately the noisy hum OF voices
and the rattle Of knives, forks and

FIRST WIG IN HISTORY.
It Was Worn by the Daughter o

II Was Worn by the Daughter OF
Saul, King OF Israel.
The first wig mentioned in history
was made of goats skin and worn by
the daughter of Saul, king of Israel.
The first artistic wigs were made in
the south Of Italy for the Gapiniens,
who lived in Apulia and were known
for the luxuries of their toilet. These
people We're, they say, the first who
painted their faces This they did with
the juice Of strawberries.
The Persians wore wigs Xenophon
relates that little Cyrus, when he visit
ed Astyages, his grandfather, whose
eyes were framed in blue paint and
who Wore an enormous wig, threw
himself on his knees and cried, "Oh,
mother, what a beautiful grandfather

so struck by the appearance of the old
gentleman that she remained with AS

horse Rncing on the stage.

In racing scenes the horses do run at
full speed. They run, however, not on
the fixed stage, but on what may be
called treadmills, which keep the horses
in front of the house for longer or
shorter periods, according as they are
moved quickly or slowly. A picket
fence, placed between the audience and
the course not only makes the scene
more realistic; it also hides the mechan-
ism of the treadmills. This fence has
contributed in another way to add to
the effect by being moved in opposition
to the direction of the horses and SC
lending TO their apparent speed.
AS to the sounds made by the foot
falls of horses to be heard as though
passing outside an interior scene, they
are reproduced by the dried hoofs of
dead horses or wooden limitations
mounted on handles and hammered
against surfaces of stone gravel, sod
or whatever the occasion may demand.
They are also more deliberately manu-
featured by revolving cylinder with
pins protruding from the surface.
These pins are arranged. like the spurs
on hand organ roller to initiate trot-
ting, galloping or walking when struck
against other substances. If the sound
of carriage is to be added to the
trampling of horses wheels are run on
sand.-Cassell's Magazine.
