Ignorance of War.

The British officers do not seem to understand enough of the art of war. It is to be doubted if barrack life in England and the colonies is conducive to the requirement of the art. From what we have read of it, we should think that in military circles the off. cers regard military exercise some. what of bore. and the army profes- sion rather than trade. Social life or how 10 make the service endurable, is the main thing. Dress parades now and then, tour of duty at Aldershot, some meals taken in barracks, pool al club, a run down to London for the opera or the music hall, or a visit to a friends country place-so pass the hours for the younger gentry who have found place as officer in her majesty's military establishment.-Mobile Regis. ter.

WOES OF ENGLISH ALMANAC.
In It Queen Is Threatened with Nio- fence and Heaps of Trouble
 for America.

In one of the London astrological nlmanacs may be noted some interest ing forecasts in regard to the fortune of European soyereigns and of the United States during the coming year. Predictions of this kind have been made in these almanacs during the last half century, and, if we are to be- lieve the publishers, many of them have proved to be true. However this may be, they form novel reading, and those in regard to the United States will especially prove interesting to Americans.
 If Queen Victoria" says the Lon- con astrologe1, were ruler of any other country but this I should pre- dict violent termination to her ex- istence, but I cannot imagine that there is anyone in these isles idiotic enough to even think of offering vio- lence 10 her person, much less doing it." Then he says that the most fate- ful year appears to be 1901, but he hopes he may be mistaken. The prince of Wales is cautioned to take care of his health and to guard against ac- cident, and the duke of York is grave. ly informed that sickness or bereave. ment will befall him or the duchess. .r
 For Emperor William of Germany a favorable year is foreshadowed, the outlook being that he twill be in- olined to literature and art and that his empire will make great strides in commerce and business" Doleful, on the contrary, is the forecast in regard tC Emperor Franz Josef of Austria.
 Here are the principal predictions in regard to the United States: During the first three months of the year there will be "a heavy call for money for increased armaments, naval and coast defense, and much opposition to the increased expenditure; heavy mis. fortunes will befall hotels and thea. ters," and there will be much sickness and trouble for the president.
 Between March and June the death rate will be high, many accidents will occur on railroads and steamers, and much money will be spent by the gov ernment, possibly in connection with the new colonial possessions" "A tre- me. dous blaze in one of the populous cities of the states" is also predicted During the next three months trouble is foreshadowed with some foreign power or colonial dependency, as well as waste of money and decrease ot trade.
 The predictions for the closing three months of the year relate mainly to the president. Here they are: "The president will not sleep on bed ot roses. He will have a peculiarly harassing time and great difficulty in steering his course between conflict ing interests and parties. He will have much odium, i'll will and abuse to contend with."-Chicago Times, Herald.
