MILITIA ENVIRONMENT. :"

 Ireland it is left to the discretion of the
 commanding oflicer--residing at their
 homes This element of domesticity,
 which Leech satirized in the Goose
 Green Volunteer" may appear rather
 farsical, but nevertheless it is factor that ust be taken into consideration
 where the discipline and morale of an
 embodied unit are concerned, and, as
 we have already hinted, the wives and families at any rate will not benefit
 financially by the military duties of their husbands and fathers. Embodi- ment means the absence of the bread winner, whose remttances, with the canteen more conveniently situated than' the village inn, are, therefore, likely to be irregular The official text books are silent on the subject, but there certainly seems no reason why a certain proportion of the married men should not be allowed to take their wives and families with them lon the strength.' In any case. since the forth coming embodiment promises to remain in force some months, there are certain to be instances of compulsory distress at home, which will call for aid from the benevolent. We may add that any miitamen injured in the cause of mil- tary duty and rendered incapable of fol- lowing his calling, on disembodiment may be allowed a sum of three shillings sixpence a day for a period of six months, Lastly 1t may be noted that, although the calling-up of thirty-eight battaltons is likely to expose the under oificering of the force, any shortage in embodied units should be easily reme- died by attaching officers from those not so called out. Offers of this kind there are sure to be in plenty but if the demand exceeds the supply the services of volunteer officers, provided they possess a certificate of proficiency, may be utilized london Pall Mall Gazette

PRINCE NOORO AND THE ELE-
 PHANTy

PRINCE NOORO AND THE ELF
 PHANTy
 It was on the bank of beautiful river, and they stood looking at each other, little Nooro and the noble ele- phant that had saved his life from q crocodile The elephant gently wound its trunk around the body of the little boy and taking him up went away through the thlcket into the deep jungle Nooro had seen tame elephants, and was at first not afraid but as he was carried along through the forest he became uneasy. T want to go to my mamma'' he cried. Of course, the elephant did not know what he meant Besides, he had his own notions of what he ought to do with the boy; and so he went on.
 Over high hills and across deep val leys went the elephant with long, swinging steps
 By and by he set the child down, be- cause he wanted to eat the leaves of some young palm-trees Nooro started to run away; but the elephant took him up and placed him high up in the fork of a tree, and then Nooro began to cry. The elephant paid no attention to his crying, and while eating would reach up to him a bit of the fodder but Nooro only cried the louder. When he had eat en all he wanted, the elephant took him down from the tree and went onward till they came to a spring, where he took a good drink, after having again put Nooro in a tree. Then taking up the hollow hus1 of a large nut lying on the ground, he dipped up some water and lifted it to Nooro. and the little fellow, being very thirsty, drank hearti- ly. This pleased the elephant very much.
 Leaving the spring, it was not long before they were under some tall trees bearing fruit Nooro knew the fruit quite well, and was very fond of it. The elephant, too, liked it very much, and reaching high up with his trunk brought some of it down, which he ate with a great relish. He did not forget the little boy, again perched aioft in the fork of a tree, and to him he gave fruit as fast as he could eat. And now more than ever was the elephant pleas ed-not so much because he was eating what he himself liked, but because the child ate also. Besides fruits, they also had nuts of several sorts.
 When the sun went down and the darkness came on Nooro began once more to cry; but at length he fell asleep Then the elephant spread on the ground some large palm-leaves and soft, dry grass, making Nooro kind of bed When he awoke in the morning the lit tie boy again thought of his mamma and cried; but as each day passed he l cried less and less.-St. Nicholas

DANGERS OF ILLUMINATING GAS

 Numerous accidents occur annually in the use of gas for lighting, cooking, or heating, through either carelessness or ignorance, The largest number of acci- dents, probably, occur from ignorant persons, either blowing out the gas or turning it off and subsequently, turning the cock on sufficiently for the gas to escape unnoticed.
 Many other accidents are the result of the bad practice of turning down a gas flame, particularly in a bedroom. This is always iU-advieod, for such 9 turned-down flame may be either blown out by a draught of air from an open window, or else it may be extinguished the sudden variation or reduction in the pressure. When this happens in small bedroom without ventilation, there is great danger of asphyxiation, particu- larly so if water gas is used. Much can be done to avert this danger by proper arrangement of the gas piping in houses. Another dangerous custom is to shut off the gas at the main service or at the gas meter during the night, and numerous accidents, some of them fatal, have resulted from 1t It is almost equally bad to turn off the gas at the meter during the day.-Cassier's
