Old Militia Elections and New.

From the American Revolution TO the
year 1923 the officers of the militia of
the state of New York had been ap-
pointed by the council of appointment
upon the recommendation of command
ing officers of divisions, brigades and
regiments. and the promotions were
generally made according to rank and
seniority. Under the new constitution
and the militia law Of 1898, and in ac-
cordance with the democratic spirit of
the period, the election Of military Off
GERS became the established usage and
has continued until the present day.
Yhe election of officers in 1898 and fol
lowing year was attended with consid-
cradle ceremony-officers attending
them in full uniform, and noncommis-
stoned officers and privates in undress
uniform.-Clark's History.

A Chinese strntngem.

Ratah Suran, who was one Of the
earliest rulers OF India, oyerran the
entire east with the exception of Chi
ma, killed innumerable sultans with his
own hand and married all their daugh-
tiers. 1t is said that when the Chinese
heard of his triumphant progress and
learned that lie had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called council of his
generals and mandarins, and upon the
advice of a crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails, trees were planted on the deck,
the vessel was manned by numerous
crew Of old men and dispatched TO the
rajah's capital. When it arrived-the
most wonderful part Of the story is
that it did arrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long it had taken the
vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great trees
had grown. In confederation of their
story they pointed to the rusty nails
which, they said. had been stout iron
bars as thick as mans arm when
they started. "You can See" they con
Guided, that China must be a very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.
