THE INDIAN ARMY.
COSTS BRITAIN AN IMMENSE
SUM ANNUALLY.
Three Hundred Thousand Men In Uniform
AL the Year Around-It Is q Gov
erning Body Omcered by White Men
from England.

The ever-increasing prodigality with
which England is drafting upon her
military resources, both at home and
abroad, makes 1t pertinent to recall
to mind that British India and her
vast population of nearly 4O0,0O0,0OO
are practically kept in check by only
10000 British troops. These troops
usually serve ten years in India, and
are transferred from one military sta
t1on to another every two years.
Tommy Atkins" at least when in In
dia, is very precious in the sight of
the British government. AS he stands
in his uniform, disciplined soldier in
the prime of health and strength, he
is said to have cost paternal gov
ernment the sum of $4,000 American
money, and he is valued accordingly.
His daily rations are carefully exam
ined by medical experts, and his one
quart of ale and one ounce of rum are
served out to him with greatest regu-
lartty. When the eXigencies of the
service permit he is sent in the hot
season" to the mountains, where he
works on the roads and gets labor
er's allowance besides his pay. When
on the plains everything is done that
possibly can be accomplished by his
officers to make his life pleasant, and
II he behaves himself a good-conduct

to his income. When he gets drunk
he goes to the cells for week, or is
piUon lr;lI IT,,
he returns to England and enjoys a
pension-that is. if he does not fall a
victim to the climate. The biggest
outdoor attractions at the Indian mill
tary stations are the cemeteries, the
one at Pashawar alone containing the
graves of $500 British soldiers. The
full strength of Great Britain's Indian
army. in round numbers. approximates
300, 900 men. of whom 230, 900 are native
and 10000 British soldiers. In addi-
tion to this military force there are
about 10000 enrolled European volun-
teers. and native police, differed by
white men, nearly 100000 strong.
Every regiment is divided into ten
companies, each of whom is usually
made up of different nationality. such
as Goorkhas, Sikhs, Dogras, Pathans,
Punjaubis, etc. 1t is owing to this
precaution that combination of forces
for the purpose of mutiny becomes al
most impossible. The Goorkhas and
Sikhs, whose loyalty is rated the high
est, are in some localities permitted to
constitute entire regiments by them
selves. The pay of the Sepoy or native
soldier is $3.50 per month, with a
gradual increase after three years
good-conduct service. The pension sys-
TEN is particularly liberal and is real
ly the magnet which draws the native
recruit When a Sepoy soldier falls
in action his wives-and there are four
of them-are all pensioned as well as
their young children. AS regards the
artillery branch of the Indian army
white men only are employed, both as
commissioned officers and in the ranks,
and the guns of all forts are entirely
manned by Britons.
OF the native soldiers the Goorkha
is the best. and many English experts
believe that he is the best soldier IN
the world.

Sites" that he attracted the attention
of the literary world. NJ. de Regnier
belonged to the group of young poets
that received the name of "Decadents," :"
or "Symbolists." this last name being
permanently attached to those who
recognized Paul Veraline and Stephane
Mallarme as leaders. From 1887 NJ. de
Regnier's works appear in quick sue
cession. The titles of these various
poems are as follows: Episodes"
1883; "Poemes Anciens ct Roman
esques," 1890; Tel qu'en Songe." 1892;
"Arethuse," 1895. In addition to his
poems he published, in 1895, series
of stories, La Came de Jaspe," and
another one in 1899. lie Trehe Blanc"
He contributed, both in verses and
prose, to the most important maga-
zines or reviews of the avant-garde or
new movement. He contributes to the
Revue des Deux Mondes, and to the
Revue de Paris and also to several
important papers literary articles over
his signature which are highly appre
ciated The French academy awarded
him this year the Prix Vitet, for his
works, and NJ. CASTOR Bossier, the
secretary of the academy, expressed
himself in the following manner in his
official report: M. de Regnier is one
of the leaders of that new school which
pretends to do no less a thing than
modify the form and the spirit of
French poetry. The enterprise is T.
daring one. Everybody recognizes that
M. de Regnier has very fine poetical
gifts, abundance and richness In
images: amplitude and harmony OF the
period, a grace both provoking and
natural that makes him admired even
OF those his boldness displeases." NJ
dc Regnier was made chevalier of the
Legion of Honor in 1897. He married.
the second daughter of Jose Maria de
Heredia of the French academy, the ro-
nowned author OF Les Trophees," and
IS in consequence of this the brother
in-law of NJ. Pierre Louys, the author
of "Aphrodite" and "Chansons de
Bilitis."

Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pcruna is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh
out of its victims. Peruna not only
cures catarrh, but prevents it.

THIS BILL

Columbus, Feb. > In an Important
opinion in answer TO n request Of Fred
$. Cutlery of Marion county, Attorney
General Sheets holds that neither shcr-
IFS or deputies have n right to 81 Il
day for attending common pleas or
circuit court: that shcriffs are not en-
titled to . cents per mile for conveying
notices Of election to townships, but can
only draw 80 cents per townships;
county clerks cannot charge for maxi
ing court dockets il ordered by the
courts; clerks may not collect $500 per
year as has been the custom for SER
vices in criminal eases when the state
| fails to convict. The attorney general
holds that county commissioners may
draw reasonable sums for expenses in
addition to their per diem and mileage.
The opinion is far reaching and will
| affect every county IN the state where
an absolute salary Is not in effect.
