ENoLAND's BORROWED ARMIES
Has Secured All Over Europe to Hire
Soldiers.

SOLDIERS.
This is the first war Great Britain
has fought against white enemies with
out buying foreigners to fight for us,
says London paper Until less than
so years ago, when we had war on
hand, we sent officials to Germany and
all over Europe, to engage men to fight
for US. The men engaged were most
ly old soldiers, and were hired to fight
until the war was finished. In 1856 an
invasion of England was feared, so
5000 Hessians were hired to come and
defend these shores against the ex-
pected attack. These hirelings were
paid at the British rate of pay, and for
every man of them killed their king
was paid so much per head Even
against the American, colonists Hes
sian troops were employed. No won
der our fellow Englishmen were en-
ragged at this shameless action. The
landgraVe of Hesse was paid $685.
600 in 3 per cent stock for the Hes
slams lost in the war of independence.
This was the amount of $3.50 per man.
~ NA4''AA ASDCA1iOd VI 1GJo was PUT
down chiefly by Hessian hirelings In
the long struggle. with Napoleon we
freely hired foreigners, but the bulk
of the work was done by British SOL
diers, Wellington found that he could
not rely on his mercenary gangs too
much. In 1904 the Kings German le-
gion'' Of 10000 men was formed. Two
years later the force was increased by
5000 men. Besides Germans from all
the petty states, there were also en-
listed French royalists expelled by Ma
poleon, Corsicans, Greeks, Italians,
Turks, Portuguese, Belgians, Hungari-
ans and Swiss. AT Waterloo, Yelling
toms army of $1,000 was made up Of
only $4,000 British, and the rest were
Dutch, BrunsWiekers, Hanoverians and
Nassaumen. When peace came in 1914
there were no less than 10000 hired
foreigners forming corps in the British
army. The Crimean war was the last
time Britain had to go a-hiring sol
diers. Thirty thousand men had been
sent to the Crimea and more were
wanted. So the government went to
parliament with bill authorizing the
enlistment of 10000 Germans, 5000
Swiss and 5000 Italians, at British
rates of. pay.

MILK AND MORTALITY.
What the Chicago Health Depart.
ment Has to Say.

What the Chicago Health Depart.
ment Has to Say.
While the lack of fresh air and of the
daily bath may have something to do
with the fact that children are dying in
our crowded districts in the hot months
like flies, says the Chicago Post, the
chief reason is to be found in improp-
err feeding. This Is the conclusion Of
Dr. Reilly Of the health department.
The main food Of young children Is
milk, and it is to the condition Of the
milk used that one must turn for the
real cause Of this great mortality OF
our crowded wards. In hot weather
milk easily spoils, and spoiled milk i'm
mediately produces sickness in infants.
Moreover, it is practically impossible
for poor people to obtain a good grade
of milk. A reasonable standard for
milk is that it should contain 3.5 per
cent Of butter fat, but larger proper
ton Of the milk sold in the poorer dis
tricts contains no fat at all, for it is
skimmilk.
In many cases this is the only milk
the family can afford, and in many
more it is given for the price paid for
a better article. Our city ordinances
attempt to prohibit the last named
practice by providing that when skim
milk is sold it shall be from a vessel
to which a metallic label bearing the
word "Skimmilk" is attached, but this
tag is rarely seen by the customer, as
the milk is usually kept in the refrig-
orator.
The city inspectors report that three
fourths Of the milk sold in shops in
the poorer districts is skimmilk,
and it is this stuff that promotes in
FAINT sickness and hastens infant
death A glance at the condition Of
the milk supply Of the city at once
fastens the responsibility for infant
mortality where it belongs. In 1894,
when the infant death rate was over
45 per cent of the total deaths, the
milk supply Of the city averaged 33 per
cent below grade. In the last five
years the health department has ex-
ercised a most careful supervision
over the milk supply, and it has adj
vanced in quality 81 per cent. At the
same time the infant death rate has
decreased % per cent.

The crying demand of the times is a
dish that will not fall out of a girls
hands and break. Women who keep
help in their kitchens do not make the
complaint Of broken dishes more often
than the woman whose daughters "do
the Dishes" AS soon as a man gets a
half dollar saved it has to go for a
meat platter or a pitcher which his
daughter dropped, and there probably
isn't family engaged in housekeeping
that doesn't have to make weekly visits
to queensWare store. In some homes
the daughters are fined for every plate
they break, but the father has to give
them the money to pay back to him in
fines, so that he is always the loser. If
a man is put in good humor by his din
ner, the crash Of china heard from the
kitchen ten minutes later drives his
good nature away.-Atchison Globe.

PLOT AGAINST MKINLEY.
So Far as the Government Secret Service
Men Will Admit.


New York, Aug. 20.-A high govern
ment "officiaF has Informed the New
York World that as many as fourteen
desperate anarchists have been de-
tanned by the bureau of immigration
and thus prevented from carrying out
their fell purpose Of assassinating
President Mckinley. The World
prints full details of conspiracy
formed in Naples, where lots were
cast for the privilege Of destroying the
United States executive.
Local secret service agents said that
advices had been received from the
Italian government to the effect that
Notable MareSca and Michil Guida, two
of the fourteen Italians detained at
the barge office, are wanted by the
Naples authorities in Italy. 1t is un-
derstood here that they are charged
with completely in the recent plot to
assassinate the late King Humbert.

unite in denying that any Of the four
teen Italians detained are accused of
plotting against the life OF President

THE REPORTERS METHODS.

Marked Difference From Those of the
Orator, Preacher and Novelist.
Probably not one reader in a hundred
! has paused to notice that newspaper
! article is written on plan just the re-
! verse of that of a sermon or grafton.
Comparatively few ministers have an
alyzed the subject sufficiently to notice
this fact, and their ignorance of it will
often account for the reluctance Of
newspapers to accept matter contribut-
ed by them. It is worth the while of
every man and woman to know the
general plan on which newspaper arti-
cles are written, for almost everybody
desires at times to announce something
through the press. The mere knoWl-
edge of the theory will not make a sue
cessful writer in this or any other de-
partment, but it is the first step.
The Skillful preacher or orator usual
ly reserves his most important points
until toward the end of his discourse,
closing with a climax; the skillful
newspaper reporter puts his climax in
to his first sentence and ends with the
most nonessential detail. While the
novelist secures his dramatic effect by
keeping the secret of his story hidden
as long as possible, the reporter attains
success by revealing his secret as
quickly as words will let him. Both
are working on principles as clearly
defined as that on which a sonnet is
constructed, but the modern newspa-
per article is of so much more recent
date that few critics have analysed it,
and even many of the best New York
writer's work daily upon the foregoing
principle without knowing it. No man
can work many days under metropol-
itan city, editor without learning it.
