Sir Charles Warren's Bath.

There is something extremely Eng
lish in the story of Sir Charles War
rem "doing trimbics," as Bouncer ex-
pressed it, in the open air on the
battlefield of Vaal Kranz. Sir Charles,
it appears, is a strong believer in
hydropathy, and under no circum-
stances intermits his morning bath.
On the occasion of Buffers last effort
TO relieve Ladysmith, Sir Charles
found it impossible to leave his post,
so when day broke on the battlefield,
he ordered his servant to bring his
bath with sponge and towel, and there
and then, i'll the open air, Sir Charles
Warren, commanding the Fifth Di-
vision, proceeded to take his bath,
sublimely Indifferent to the fire of the
enemy. A humorous addition to the
incident relates how Sir Redvers Bull
Ter, wishing to consult with Sir
Charles, sent his orderly to summon
him. But not even an order from the
commander-in chief could interrupt
this matutinal function, and Sir Red
vers was obliged to ride to the bather,
and then an important conversation
was held between the two generals
the one on horseback and the other in
his tub. Diogenes himself never per-
formed feat of cooler Indifference to
the conventionalities than Sir Charles
on this occasion. London News.

A Brave Mans Gentleness.

The Army and Navy Journal gives
touching incident, which shows how
gentle nature may exist beneath the
sternness which at times reckons not
the life of men while in the pursuit of
victory.
The late Commander James W. Car
lin was in command of the Vandalia,
at Apia, Samoa, during the terrible
storm of March 16, 1889.
One evening, some years afterward,
on retiring to his room while visiting
mis- sister, he found mouse that had
fallen into a basin of water, and was
struggling for his life.
"There was agony and defiance in
that little fellows eye," said the
Commander, speaking of it the next
day. GAS I gazed on that helpless
little creature L thought of that terri
BILE night on the Vandalia, and going
to the open window, I gently emptied
the contents of the basin. didn't
dry him with my towel, but [ saved
his life," the Commander added.

CHANGES IN CAVALRY METHODS.
The Small Man May Yet Become the
Most Desirable Soldier.

The improvement of military rifles
and other death dealing devices has
done away almost entirely with hand
to-hand fighting. There was time
in warfare when men on powerful
horses, armed with heavy sabers, rode
to the opposing force and cut their
opponents down by sheer physical
force. For such exploits the heaviest
horses and large men were most effec-
tive. With modern magazine and ma
chine guns cavalry charge OF the old
fashioned sort is practically out OF the
question, but this does not mean tdat
the cavalry has become obsolete as an
arm of the military service. 1t will
simply have to be made to conform to
the changed conditions. The same
change in weapons that has made dl-
rect frontal attack impracticable has
naturally compelled resort in strate-
gic methods. To accomplish effective
maneuvering speed is prime essen
tial and cavalry or mounted infantry
must be employed. In fact, with the
present method of arming cavalry, it
is practically mounted infantry, the
horse being used primarily as means
of transportation.
This disuse Of the old fashioned cav.
airy methods changes the requirements
for the mounted service. The fact
that there are likely to be few hand
to-hand encounters will make small
men particularly available for this arm
of the military service. Small men
can be carried long distances with
much less fatigue to the HORSES fact
which is important when it is consid-
cred that in many countries the SOL
diers will have to be mounted on small
native horses. The horses of the
tropics and of countries like the Trans
vaal, New Mexico and Arizona have
food and water endurance much in ex-
cess of the heavy horses of temperate
zones, and the fact that these animals
are generally small adds to the de.
STABILITY of small men for mounted
service. A special dispatch from Col
orado Springs reports that trainload
of Colorado "bronchos" is soon to be
shipped to South Africa for the use of
the British army, this kind of horse
having been found preferable. The
"broncho" is able to carry o pack OF
800 pounds long distance without
food or water, but it cannot move
rapidly with its maximum load. To
the extent which the load is reduced
the efficiency of the animal is increased
and the mobility and effectiveness of
the mounted service augmented.
Apparently there is fine chance for
the small man to become the most de-
sirable sort of soldier. Hitherto he
has escaped military service, especially
for the infantry. Perhaps in the
future the small man will find himself
eligible to military service, if not actu-
ally preferred for some branches of it.

How TO EbOnize.

If you would like 10 convert plain
deal table, or any other similar article
into thing of beauty, try what ebon'
izing it will do. First of all, you must
clean the wood and rub it down with
sandpaper. Then sponge it with a
pint of water to which you have added
a teaspoonful of vitrol. When dry,
rub it down with sandpaper once
more. 1t is then ready for the ebon-
izing solution, which is made as fol-
lows: Boil half a pound of logwood
chips in three quarts of water using
any old iron saucepan) until the liquid
has been reduced to one-third. Then
throw in q handful of walnut Feelings.
Continue to boil gently until the liquid
is about half its original bulk, and,
lastly, add one pink of vinegar. Now
take brush or sponge and apply a
good even coat of the mixture while
still hot. When the surface is nearly,
but not quite dry, apply ano ther coat,
and then a third. When the third
coat is nearly dry, lay on a decoction
of one ounce green copperas dissolved
in pint of boiling water. A beautl'
ful black will be the result.

The Cause Of His Anxiety.

While Archbishop Trench was Dean
of Westminster he delegated Canon
Cureton to preach at the Abbey on a
certain saints day, says Pearson's.
On such days the boys of Westmin-
ster School attended service, and after
service had the rest of the day as a
holiday. While Mr.. Cureton, on the
morning OF the day he was to officiate,
was looking over his sermon at the
breakfast table, his son asked in o
tone vibrating with anxiety:
Father, is yours long sermon to-
day."

The recent war concert in London
under the auspices of Lady Lansdowne
realized the enormous sum of $685. 900.
OF course, Patti was the principal at
traction, and the London papers vie
with each other In declaring that she
looked younger than ever in beauti-
full pale blue silk gown covered with
diamonds, emeralds and turquoises.
Nine. Patti was accompanied during
her songs by Mr. Frank Watkis, who
has been in constant attendance upon
the great singer throughout all her
tours since 1893. His touch is produc-
tive of a constant ripple of extraordi-
nary lightpess and delicacy. The piano
talks to itself, as it were. yet never
leaves the voice unaccompanied. Such
a voice as Nine. PATHS needs a most
sensitive accompanist-one who can
follow the varying emotions of the
great singer throughout all her moods
and expressive cadenzas, and Mr. Wat
kis has succeeded wonderfully in
pleasing her.

A Refreshing Drink For InvaIids.

An invalid, who is kept on rather
strict diet, and is forbidden stimulants,
quickly tires of milk, yet longs for
refreshing drink. A most nutritious
drink was recently prescribed for such

able, and it is as harmless as pure
water.

Household Knowledge of Food.

In planning for variety in the daily
bill of fare, the housewife should not
only make choice of that which will
prove appetizing, but of that which
gives strength to all the different parts
of the body. Many housewives seem
to have very little understanding OF
the daily catering from this stand.
point, yet it is not difficult matter
to keep in mind list of foods that
will minister to the various require
ments of the body, if the matter is
given q little study.
That part of our food which best
supplies muscular waste is termed
heterogeneous, that which is heating
and fat-forming, earbonaceous; while
the brain forming is phosphate.
Among vegetable foods and cereals,
oats supplies the largest proportion of
muscle-forming food; beans supply
twenty-five per cent. of the muscle
forming principle. while peas supply
twenty-three and -tenths parts;
apples supply five parts; eggs supply
sixteen per cent. of housekeeping
food; oysters ten parts; fish give
about fourteen per cent. OF muscle
giving food; oysters ten parts; fish
give about fourteen per cent. OF
muscle-forming Stood; chicken sup
plies twenty parts; beef, fat and lean,
about fifteen per cent. of muscle form
ing food; veal, ten and fve-tenths;
mutton, twelve aud fve-tenths; pork,
ten parts of muscle food.
This is information every house
keeper should possess and every meal
should be served with variety of
food that will give heat, muscle and
brain food to the body.
Another point to be understood, es-
pecially when there is one or more in
the family who suffers from that COM
mon Neutrality-suspicious. the selection
of a variety of food that is easily di-
gested. The length of time required
to digest various articles of food differ
very considerably, and it should be
remembered that the longer the pro-
cess is going on the greater the de-
mand of the digestive powers, and
consequently the weaker the stomach
becomes. The question then to be
considered is what food will most
readily digest in the shortest length
of time, thus causing the system to
remain vigorous by being properly
nourished and never overtaxed.
