difficulties. We want a force which
 could be used to protect any part Ct
 the empire, or, if necessary to take its
 share in that kind of defensive which | assumes the form of an attack upon
 the enemy wherever it may be con- venient to meet him. Naturally, .he Landwehr would not be used in the first | instance. The regular army would sup ply the normal foreign service corps in peace and go to the front at the begin | ming of war: then the Compulsory militia would be required; finally, if tie operation were on a sufficient scale, some of the Landwehr regiments would have to sail In most cases it would be enough if they held the garrisons at home and abroad, or took their place in the rear of the fighting line, guard ing the bases and maintaining com munications. In fact, the procedure would be that which we have been fore ed to adopt in this South African var. We have embodied the entire active army and found it insufficient; We have depleted the militia of its best men; and already volunteers have been warned that they will be required for garrison duty at home, and before these lines are in print they will have been invit- ed to offer themselves for service at the Cape. If there are other and better ways of delivering us from our present insecurity-for such it is--miltary ad- minlstrators will no doubt be prepared to set them before a somewhat anxious public. One thing is certain. We are not strong enough, so far as regards our armed forces on land, for the work we have to do and the perils we have to encounter. The shock of the Boer war must have ,brough the fact home to us all; and, being a practical people still, we had better set about to remedy the deficiency as soon as our immediate troubles are off our hands.-Nineteenth Century Magazine

"Oh, sometimes if you want to have a row, it is 8 good plan to go out, call q carriage, and when you are inside, to tell the cocher to drive you to the church at the top of Montemartre'" ''Well?' I asked innocently. Well; don't you remember that aw- full hiss? Of course, a fare like that breaks the cabmans heart. He grum- bles, and you call him 'espece de Colig- non" which no cabman can ever stand, so he answers you back impudently, and there you are. Everything else is easy.'
 l really did not feel entitled to manu- fracture Anglophobia in this way.
 'Very well, them said Archibald; that's the best that I can do for you If you don't like that, let us take a walk"
 We took walk in the thronged Champs Elysees. We dined at popu- lar "taverne." We went to a variety theater in the evening. We drove af- forwards to some cafes of disrepute on the exterior boulevards
 'There!" said Archibald when we were parting for the night, What did I tell you? Isn't it sickenlng?'
 It was. A more depressing absence of Anglophobia I have never seen in Lon don. But, after all these people are not to be judged by their light-hearted Sunday behavior. I must give them a chance on week day.

A CHILD BADLY SCALDED.
Ran Into a Servant and Overturned
Two Plates of Hot Soup.

The little five-year old son of Freder-
lex J. Turner, of Lewis & Co, met with
a very painful accident on Saturday
during the luncheon hour. The little
fellow left the dining room to go into
the kitchen and started to run. Just as
he reached the door between the din
ing room and kitchen he suddenly en-
countered the servant bearing two
plates OF soup for the table
The sudden impact caused the plates
to be overturned and the smoking con-
tents were emptied on the child's neck
and chest, scalding the flesh so that 1t
hung in shreds. The boy stoically bore
the pain. DIR. McGrew, who attended
the child. yesterday found the sufferer
still in gerat pain but much improved.

London. Feb. 23.-(4 a. m)-General

British infantry, and with shells from
sixty guns falling into his camp
On the third day of the fight the Boer

Without trying TO reconcile even the

he does. will they then h able 10 sllccor

A speech which had great deal of IN
fiuence in fixing the date was made by
ex-senator German. He said that four
years ago it might have been well to
hold the convention early as the party
then took a new position, one which
drove many of the leaders out of the
party or into temporary retirement. The
organization then went into new hands,
into the hands of able men but many
of whom had not been active in control
of party affairs. it took them some
time TO organize. Now there was
good organization. The party was
ready and equipped TO enter upon the
campaign. The party III power should
be allowed to hold its convention first
and the indictment of that party could
be made as il has been in times past.
Mr. Mclean, of Ohio also favored
the later date.
