serVation, study and personal contact The
American isolation of former years, finally
made impossible by the growth of steam
and electricity, is no longer factor in
our diplomatic problem. To-day America
is not only in the world, but of it. Its
new position, acquired through no fault of
its own. carries responsibilities never re-
allied and therefore never considered, by
the patriots who originally marked out
our course. When that course was mark
ed we were fresh from war with Great
Britain and angry and distrustful on oc-
oasions since then the mother country has
raised our ire. But the growing impor-
lance of America and our invasion of com
mercial fields hitherto exclusively worked
by Europe, have aroused continental
hostility fully equal to that shown Great
Britain. On the other hand, the British
have gone out of their way to favor us.
and on many lines the two countries have
worked together. That Great Britain and
America will grow more and more friend
ly and get closer together is as certain as
the sun to rise, although, for political rea-
sons, an official alliance Is out of the ques-
ton. The fair and intelligent American
who visits Great Britain and the CONT
nent invariably draws conclusions favor
able 10 the former. The contrasting con-
ditions are too plain to escape notice. As
a rule a very general rule, the coin and
not the company of the American find
favor with the continentals. The ways of
the British, though not our ways, are the
ways the British are bound to follow. The
wise American does not try to change
them. AS my Americansm cannot be sue
cessfully challenged, and l am a better,
because broader American than when I
left home, my views certainly should
count for something.

They would have liked SO much 20 have
had lances barred as against the rules of
war; and 1t would. certainly have made an
immense difference if our side had sue
ceeded In getting a few more chances, es-
pecially at the commencement of the war,
of using the lance.

crouching down behind a shelterns rock
while the Beers We're running away past

out his horse came running along and,
pulling him out. took his place behind the

Ventors and others used to phrase it, to
invent a gun or pistol which might dis
charge several times at only one loading.
Mr.. Pepys was privileged to see something
of the kind in his day and repeating pis-
tots continued to be heard of at intervals
long after that curious gossip had disap-
peared from the face of the earth But
the machinery of these attempts was US
ually too complicated or too slow and I'M
certain in its action to be of much prac-
ucal value 1t was not until the present
century that the problem was effectuAlly
solved. The first really useful revolve
was that patented by the American, Col
Colt in 1885, on the principle of single
barrel and rotating cylinder breech
worked by the motion of the trigger.
With sundry modifica lions, revolvers of
the Colt pattern have remained in use,
and have borne the coloneFs name to this
day. The vagaries of nomenclature are
curious. Colts revolver was known as
such for many long years yet the weapon
itself never became known as a Colt. on
the other hand, another revolving
barker invented by an American gun
smith has been familiar as "derringer''
on both sides of the Atlantic, with moth
ing to indicate that the name is borrowed
from that of the inventor Bret Harte's
use of the word in his poems and stories
practically thing of the past did much
to familiarize the name on this side. In
.'Dow's Flat" the hero of the yarn comes
to his work at noon, when his continued
run of ill-luck has brought him almost to
desperation
with a shovel and pick on his shoulder,
and derringer hid i'm his breast"
II was a derringer bullet by the way,
that killed President Lincoln in the Wash
ington theater on that fateful evening in
April, 1865. When the assassin Booth, en-
tered the Presidents box he was armed
with small siver-mounted derringer in
his right hand and a long doube-edged
dagger in his left. Both weapons were
used. Stepping quietly up behind the I'M
suspecting President, Booth shot him
through the head. One of the party in the
box, quick to see what had happened
threw himself on the murderer. who
promptly dropped the derringer and stab
bed his assailant in the arm with the long
dagger, so insuring his temporary es-
cape.

Physiognomists go so far as to assert
that the nose is the key 40 the mans
character, the index TO his brain And so
many people-great employers. among
them-share the belief that it is almost as
lucky for child to be born with a good
nose on IT'S face as with the proverbial
silver spoon in its mouth. There are
noses and noses, even among the good
specimens. There is the artistic nose Git
orally men and painters have it, or should
have it,; the Constructive" nose pecu-
liar to architects and engineers; and not
the least important is one labeled by
physiognomists "combative and organz-
ing" This might also be called the mill
tary nose. 1t belongs to great command
ers on sea and land, and is so prominent
that 1t cannot be mistaken. Wellington
had 1t to an abnoraml degree. In this,
as in other respects. he has never been
equaled by any other soldier. Wellington
was great believer in noses.
Napoleon also admired a good nose. and
was personally well-endowed in that par
ticular but nothing like 10 the same ex-
tent as his vsnquisher at Waterloo. Both
are said to have chosen their men for i'm
portdnt positions by the size and shape of
their noses. In short, Wellington and Ma
poleon, for professional purposes, practic-
ed physiognomy. which was crime in
the days of Elizabeth when "all per-
sons fayning 10 have knowledge of Phisl-
ognomie or like Fantastical Imaginacions"
rendered themselves liable TO all manner
of perils.
Even in these days we have the fight
ing nose at the front-where, of course
it should be. The finest specimen is the
property of Gen. Kelly-Kenny. IL is
quite Wellingionian, and give points to
Napoleon. With such a nose Gen Kelly
Kenny ought to go far. From his nose
the physiognomlst would tell you that
Gen. French is possessed of determina-
ton and perseverance The same expert
would probably describe Gen Sir Red
vcrs Buffers nose that of "plodder,"
while, according to Aristotle, who, YER
satile rnan professed some knowledge of
pbysiognomy, Lord Kitchener is '1nsen-
sitive." OF all the Boer commandments i'm
the field, Louis Botha is the only one
whose nose Is of the military model Not
withstanding the reverses he has suffer
ed. he is generally credited with being
very able soldier
Lord Roberts-what OF his nose? IL must
be confessed that it is not of the fight
ing stamp. The face reader would
say that its owner possessed great aptis-
tic instinct. Quite right Lord Roberts
is an artisan artist in war
