der does; then he should do the work
Of a petty officer, for II a youth is not
competent to carry out in an emclent
manner the duties Of a corporal, how
can he later In life make a good gem
eral? The British pride themselves
on being sound business nation; yet
in this matter they. throw business to
the dogs, and so in for poetry. Yet 1
can assure the British public that there
is very little poetry in modern warfare;
and there is going to be less. An,ofl-
Ger should know far more about the
duties of a private soldier than a pri.
vate does. but at the present time half
the young fellows holding commissions
in South Africa know. less about pri-
Yates duties than South Sea savage
knows about mathematics. This state
ment may not make very palatabls
reading. but tits the truth. and no one
knows 1t better than the very people
who are responsible for the appoint
ments.
Too Great a Price.
What is the use of having a Roberts
or Kitchener at the head of affairs
IL the officers who have to carry out
the manoeuvres designed by those able
leaders do not know their business in
detail? 1t is simply absurd to say that
the required experience will come With
time; the experience that is picked up
haphazard in the battlefield is paid for
in the blood of butchered troops that
ought to be saved; 1t is paid for In loss
of prestige to the nation, brought about
by reverses that should be Victories
and 1t seems to me that such price is
too high to pay. The army of England
should no longer be the dumping
ground who want little glory and a
little active service. Men who hope to
bear commissions should be men who
are prepared to devote their lives to the
service, as our naval officers do. They
should be more than often under can
vas and less often in drawing rooms.
When this has been accomplished
we need not fear that we shall hear of
"Nfr. Thomas Atkins" throwing down
his rife in the presence Of the enemy.
as he has been doing during this cam,

JOHN BULL SAYS NO.

That's the Belief in State Department
Circles.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Lord Paun-
cefote. the British ambassador, was i,r
conference with Secretary Hay for half
an hour at the state department.. The
officials have nothing to say touching
the future OF the pending Hay-Paunce-
tote treaty. 1t is plain to be seen, how
ever, that the action of the senate com.
mittee in bringing in the amendment is
no. &c ptable and is regarded by the
officials as greatly endangering the life
Of the treaty. If the senate first adopts
this amendment and then ratifies the
treaty, conclusion by no means GER
tain in the official mind, it is said that
the president will feel obliged to sign it,
placing the responsibility upon the
senate, and then leaving it to the Brit
ish government to accept or reject. The
officials believe that the British will re-
ject the treaty, and in that case the
Clayton Bulwer treaty will prevail
again, it's force having been recognized,
according to the officials, not only by
the executive branch of our government
in preparing this pending treaty, but
also by the senate of the United States,
as evidenced in the report which accom-
panied the treaty when it was presented
to The senate.

He Had EnOuxh.

There is New York physician who
takes an active interest in politics and
is popular with the "boys." In spite
of his jolly disposition he is an ex-
tremely thin man. so thin that manv
joke is aimed at him. Here is the
latest story they are telling about him ::
A grocer's boy entered the doctors
Office the other day with a basket of
fine fruit which some grateful patient
had sent to him: The doctor told the
boy to place the basket in a cabinet
which stood against the wall. At the
same instant he stepped out Of the
room, and. going into an adjoining one,
manipulated continuance which caus.
ed an articulated skeleton within the
cabinet to waggle it's bead and limbs
in an appalling manner just as the
messenger boy opened the door.
With yell Of terror the boy fed.
When the doctor had enjoyed a hearty
laugh. he picked up a fine apple and
followed the boy into the street to give
it to him. Come here. my boyv' he
shouted. |'Here's fine apple for you"
mot on your life!' replied the af-
frighted youngster. taking to his heels
again. You can't fool me with your
clothes on."-New York Tribune.

Took Her COuainss Place.

One day a young Swede, a student
at the University of Berlin, received a
letter from his uncle saying that his
daughter, the young mans cousin,
would stop in Berlin for few days on
her way to Ems and would he kindly
meet her and show her the city. The
mail coach arrived and with it the
young lady, who found fine looking
young fellow with vivid boutonniere
awaiting her arrival. He accompanied
her to the hotel. The following morn
ing he called and took her driving in
an elegant brougham. These atten-
tons continued during the three days
of her visit. The lady appeared over
joyed at the gallantry of this cousin,
whom she had never met before.
On the day of her departure, while
assisting her into the mail coach, the
young man said, Il cannot let YOU de-
part without making a confession -
The lady blushed and dropped her
eyes. Il must tell you that I am not
your cousin. Your cousin is friend Of
mine. He had no time to accompany
you, having to cram for his examina-
tons. SO he bade me take his place."
I'm heavens name, who are you.
thenY' cried the lady.
The young man handed her his card
The position blew his trumpet, the
mail coach rolled away, as the young
lady read this name on the card: lotto

Goldsmith.

Not long before the close of Gold
smiths life he produced the brilliant
and humorous lines Of Retaliation"
Varied accounts are given of the origin
Of this poem. 1t will be remembered
that in joke Garrick wrote the fol-
lowing couplet as an epitaph for Gold
smith:
Here lies Molly Goldsmith for shortness called
Nou,
Who wrote like an angel. but talked like poor
poll.
1t was on April 4, 1774. that Gold
smith died. The precise spot where he
was buried in the Temple churchyard
is unknown.
This is Johnson's summing up Of the
character Of Goldsmith: "He had rails
ed money and squandered it by every
artiace of acquisition and folly Of ex-
pense. But let not his frailties be re-
membered; he was very great man."

action Of the sun crust composed of
minerals and clay has been formed on
the surface, and by some curious pres

earth in irregular curves like pie crust

crust and the solid earth varies from
one to ten feet, and the depth frequent
~ changes after heavy windstorms by
the displacement of the air beneath.
The man or the animal that steps upon

An Ab.entmtnded Professor

l have story Of gentleman now
engaged in educational work which is.
l think, somewhat remarkable and is
also quite true. This gentleman was
once professor of mathematics in a
fine New England college. He was
greatly interested in the work and de-
voted himself SO wholly to it. that a
natural tendency which he had to ab-
sentmindedness became much accen-
tuated.
One day when he had guests at din
ner and was helping them to fish from
a platter he took plate bottom side
up, put fish Oh the bottom Of the
plate and handed it thus to one Of the
guests. There was laugh at once,
and his wife said, my dear, il your
observation-disclosures has gone so far that
you are serving people food on the bot
toms Of plates, shall insist on your
resigning your professorship."
She did insist on it, and he resiened
and went into another and mere gen.
eral field Of teaching. He is still a lit
tie inclined to be forgetful-Nke some
Of the rest Of us-but he has never
since served food on the bottom of a
plate.-Boston Transcript

Henry George. First Friend.

! Henry Georges First Friend.
IL the late seventies Henry George,
the single tax reforlner. came east
from California. He was desperately
poor and had but few acquaintance
Shortly after his arrival he lectured
before the Saturday Ethical club of
New York, where his brilliant ora tory
and shabby attire made so striking. a
contrast as to excite the sympathy of
those present.
After he left the club appointed a
committee to aid him in getting up
public lecture. Among others, the COM
mfttee included Seth Low. who was
then engaged in business. He was in
consultation at the time. and the COM
mfttee were in hurry, so he told them
to send him a lot Of tickets. They for
warded 20 to him the same day and
felt happy at having secured $40 for
the lecture fund. The next morning
came letter Of thanks from Mr.. Low
pratsfng the lecturers intellectually
and inclosing a check for $3.50. The
AFFAIR was success, netting about
$500, so that President Low may be
said to have been the first man to start
Mr.. George on his eastern career.
Twenty years later, in 1897, Mr.. Low
was the citizens candidate and Mr..
George the labor candidate for mayor
Of New York. The latter made a Wig
orous campaign and in all his speeches
advised the citizens, if they could not
vote for him, to vote for his friend
Seth Low. and on one occasion he said
that if it had not been for the latter
he would not be there as a candidate.
Few understood his full meaning
