From The London Mail.
EX-ATTACHE.
OGILVYS

From The London Mail
Who heard the ghcstly drummer of Cortachy
Castle beat the death roll If the late Earl Of
Airlie?
His spectral tattoo is ever the herald Of death
to the heads Of the Cgivys. In byEoae times

After Vaiuly pleading for his lie the POOR little
drummer threatened that his ghost should
haunt the family for ever and ever
Legend has it that gen ration after genera
ton the dead drummer has sounded the last
pest for Earl ana Countess of AirlIe. and the
roll of his drum has through the long centuries
blanched the faces of many inmates of Cor
tachy Castle.
In 1915 a visitor at Cortachy was dressing for
dinner. a tattoo was beaten beneath her win

she knew there We're bandsnen at the
castle Going down TO dinner she said her
host:

The earl turned pale ana shivered The cou2-

the entire allied army before the present trouble
in China is brought to a conclusion.
THE ETHICS OF WELL-POISONING.
# would be wrong to assume however, that
the Asfatfc and African nations have no rules Of
warfare on the contrary, they have some well
defined laws which are strictly observed. Thus,
throughout the northern and central part OF
Africa no native would ever dream of tamperins
with the wells the pools of the various cases
not even when by destroying a well it would ne
possible to arrest the advance Of an invasion.
When in 1884 a British expedition hurried
across the desert in a vain attempt TO rescue
Gordon ali wells and pools were found available
for use Unfortunately these native rules OF
desert warfare are as much Of dead letter 70
white soldiers as the laws of civilized warfare
arc 10 Astatics and Africans. and the result was
that no account was taken Of the chivalrous
forbcarance Of the Dervishes in connection with
the wells every of which was either de-
stroyed poisoned with veterinary stores or pol

beasts Of burden by the English in order 20

mitted the destruction of some forts at the

ish "barbarans" had utterly failed to observe
the rules of war''-that is, the Chinese laws
bearing on the subject. This plea was accepted
/ by the Emperor. and the Viceroy was allowed 20
retain his office, being instructed, however
that there was no necessity Of adhering too
strictly to the recognized Chinese rules Of war
in dealing with such savage and uncivilized
! barbarians the English.
In conclusion it may be pointed out that all
of the former European wars with China, as
we'll as those of England with Persia and At

The present conflict with China bids fair 70 be
