THE WAY OF THE KICKER.

When things are runnin' smoothly,
 All nicely oiled an slick, There comes a great temptation
 To start little kick. You're kind O tired O quaffin'
 From 9 nactar-laden cup, You want little ginger,
 So you go an stir things up. You're hungry fur excitement,
 You're tired of hum-drum life; You're seized with an ambition
 Fur to lead a strenuous life. Am when you've raised a rumpus,
 An done the best you could, You're feelin' somewhat better
 Cause you've reused the neighbor
 hood But when you've had excitement Fur a day or so you find That you'd. go to any trouble
 To regain your peace O mind. An when the years find matters Again a runnin slick, Fur week or so you're willin' Not to start another kick.

Some one with a genius for figures has discovered that the average cost of
 rearing boy to the age
 BOYS. of twenty-cne years is
 $4,000 On this basis of calculation a bIJod of six, say, would cost $24,O0O. When the average family man looks at these figures h. becomes devoutly thankful that the scheme is net to produce young on the incubator plan. According to this calculation the quickest and. 'surest way to get rich is to remain single.
 The question naturally arises. does it pay to raise boys? Wouldn't it be better to follow the Chinese plan with their girls-use them for alligator bait? or pumpkins, or cabbage? These last mentioned articles could be sod and something realized. Moreover, pump kins and cabbage are content to remain such, while a boy wants to be a whole menagerle. He is a cherub first, then monkey, then clown, then bear, then boor, and, finally, by some inscrutable process of evolution becomes either a vagabond or a gentleman.
 If the latter, he is worth all the wealth in the world; if the former, to the $4,OO0 is added an ocean of moth CTS tears, wht.e hairs and early graves.
 Which will it be, boys?

In a secret edict recently made pub lie the Chinese government declares that it is going to give up trying to manufacture modern firearms. No doubt the Chinese feel that they could put up pretty good fight if they could induce modern nations to train down to their standards.

 THE a. provision for enlist NATIVES. ment of 15,OO0 native
 troops in the Philip pines. Beyond doubt this is the final solution of the problem of policing the islands. The current North American Review has an article by Major Sea- man, surgeon of volunteers. who advo- cates native troops on all grounds, po- litlcal, economical and sanitary. It will surprise many to find an argu- ment for enlistment of the Chinese in Luzon, based on the excellent be- havior of the British Wei-hai-Wei bat talion in China and the courage and constancy of Chinese combatants in our Philippine army. Major Seaman would take the rank and file from the Chinese and friendly Filipinos (Mac- abebes and Ilocanas), and the officers from the volunteer regiments about to be disbanded. It Is doubtful. however, if native troops do not need officers of West Point training more than Amer jeans. Major Seaman makes the in teresting statement that these natives can be paid and subsisted for the pay alone of an American soldier. Their employment as troops is inevitable. and the sJoner it is begun the better
