The Dukes Health.

Coses, Jan. 31.-The condition of
the Duke OF Cornwall and York is caus-
ing considerable anxiety, although it is
stated officially that reports saying he
has Pneumonia are not true. II is the
delicate constitution of the Duke which
causes the apprehension that would not
be felt 10 the case OF another suffering
from the same malsdy. The Duke, IL
is announced, Is suffering from an at
tack Of German measles, which causes
much sleeplessness.

TAMMANY rule 10 New York may be
very corrupt, and probably could be
improved, but, all the same, the new
bonds of that city, just put on the mar
ket, were greedily sought for by the
moneyed men there and bought at the
low interest OF 1921 per cent, which
proves that the purchasers have the ut
most confidence 10 the wisdom and
honesty of that rule.

One Day ut West Point.
From Leslie's Weekly.

There is a rule for everything that the
cadet does during the day, His walk and
his bodily carriage are prescribed by
regulation. He marches to class at the
sound of bugle; he eats by command;
he must be precise in the way in which
he salutes an officer, or the officer will
stop him and call him to task. There is
even a prescribed manner of greeting a
civilian. If the cadet is introduced to
one he must extend one hand while lift
ing his cap with the other. At parting
he must again lift his cap. There is not
a step he can take, not a word he can
say, not even a personal matter in his
days life that is not In one way or an
other. governed by imperative rule.
AS soon as the police" work is done
1t is time for the battalion to form und
march to breakfast at mess. Breakfast
is finished at about 7:l0 Immediately af-
ter it is over, "sick-call' rings out on the
bugle. ANY cadet who feels that he needs
a physician reports to the surgeon-in-
charge at the hospital.
Study and recitation last until four
o'clock. Across the quadrangle formed
by the four connecting wings of the great
academy building, sections may be seen,
as in the busy morning, marching to and
from recitation. 1t is another period Of
the severest kind of instruction, while at
4:l0 p. M, weather permitting, drill be-
gins, lasting until $50. This is immeli-
ately followed by dress-parade. At $3.50
formation for supper takes place. This
meal lasts until seven o'clock.
At this time of day our young men In
civil life would feel very much abused
If any more work were asked of them.
Our cadet has the generous allowance of
thirty minutes for recreation" At 1880,
to the ssccond, "call to quarters" Is
sounded by one of those precise bugiefs
who are the bane of army life everywhere
in the civilized world. Straight to his
quarters does the cadet. lie must now
remain absolutely IN his own room. The
minutes pass in study, the time being all
too short for the vast amount OF work
that must be prepared for the next day.
II our cadet is phenomenally quick he
may find time enough to pick up pen
and dash off a few words TO the fond,
anxious mother at home. Whatever he
does, he cannot turn down his mattress
and make up his bed, nor even stretch
himself upon the hard Stats before the
moment prescribed Ia regulations. Tao
teal officers or cadet officers are likely
TO pop In upon him at all sorts OF unex-
pected times, and the slightest infringe
ment of any rule must be at once re-
ported.
Tattoo" Is another call that the bug.ers
are required 10 sound. II Is equivalent 20
get ready for bed" but " 10 not heard
from the quadrangle untll the exact mo-
m mt Of $3.50 has arrived. As soon as he
hears this call. the cadet T. az liberty
to turn down bis mattress and
make up his bed. by 10 O'Clock.
when that tireless bugler blows taps
which means that al lights must be out
the gas Is turned OF. and the tired young
embryo general falls into bed, 70 dream
again Of home and other peasant assv'
Citations until reyeilie raspa out once
more " the following morning.
