HALIFAX, NOVA scor1A.

Halifax will soon cease to be q
military station and pass exclusively
under the control of the British adj
miralty. This statement was lately
made in official quarters, says the
Ottawa (Ont.) Citizen.
Halifax has been military station
since 1740, and it is now proposed to
make the city one of the greatest
naval stations in the world. In addi-
ton to the men of the fleet there
will be reserve consisting of about
1000 soldiers and marines, of which
900 will be marine artillerymen. This
naval reserve force will retained here.
Information states also that royal
engineers will be retained and con-
tinue under and in charge of the
submarine department. The royal
marine artillery belonging to the re-
serve force will be required to man
the forts, and will, when necessary,
be assisted by sailors. 1t is the in
tention to station in Halifax regi-
ment known as the royal garrison

MEXICAN ARM PAY.


Things have greatly improved for
the private soldier in the Mexican
army of Late says resident of
New Orleans whose business takes
him frequently into the sister repub-
lie, relates the Times-Democrat, "but
only a few years ago he had a pretty
rough time of it, and as for his pay
well, I'll tell you a little story that
covers the ground fairly well. On
one occasion I spent several months
in small town in the northern part
of thescounty where regiment OF in
fantry was temporarily in barracks.
e. course got well acquainted with
all the officers, from the colonel
down, and found them without eXcep-
ton royal good fellows. But the poor
soldiers were as tough looking lot
of scarecrows as ever laid eyes on
Their uniforms were in rags and tat
tiers, half of them were barefooted
and the other half had no hats, while
their arms and accoutrements We're in
a condition to match. The paymaster
used to get around about every two
months and his arrival would be a
signal for great excitement at the
barracks. He did his business, how
ever, entirely with the colonel, and,
after inspecting the rolls, would
place certain amount of money in
that dignitary's hands, dine formally
with the whole staff and take his de-
parture. Next day the colonel would
call the captains of the several COM
panies and give each of them bag
of dollars. The captains would there
upon summon the ieutenants, who in
turn would send for the sergeants
and thus the money would glide down
the line until it finally reached the
corporals, who did the actual
paying off of the men. How it hap
pened I don't undertake to say, but
with each transfer the cash invari-
ably suffered a shrinkage. Perhaps
it was due to abrasion. Anyhow, not
more than third ever reached the
rank and file. That would have been
bad enough. but in this regiment
there was also curious ebb tide. so

the money back through the original
channel of distribution. The whole
crowd, from privates to commander,
were inveterate poker players, and
by mysterious freak of nature their
ability was in almost exact ratio to
their rank-the old colonel being ac-
knowledged champion of the depart
ment. After pay day there was al
ways grand poker orgy, in which
the non-commissioned officer usually
cleaned out the privates. Then a few
lieutenants would swoop down and
wind up the ''noncoms," to get looted
themselves by the captains, who in
variably fell victims to the superior
skill of the colonel. The result was
that the unfortunate private never
got over third of his pay and never
had that longer than 4S hours. He
got it in the neck both comm and
gwine,' as the old darby remarked

A FRONTIER TRAGEDY.
An Innocent FrOllc with q Cowboy
That Shows How They Are
Apt to Turn Out.

"a doctor was sent for to ranch
some 20 miles from the town where
he had established his Office. The
roundup was hard by at the time,
and the doctor slept in the bunk
house. which was full of highly ami
mated cow-punchers. These INDUCED
in some athletic scuffling, and one
puncher, perfectly friendly, hit the
doctor with pillow" writes Owen
Wister, in Every body Magazine. "The
doctor, equally in joke, sprang up and
threw him. A bout, half of wrestling
and half of sparring and also perfect
~ friendly, followed on this, and the
doctor easily had the best of it. For,
besides being probably quite as mus
cular as the cowboy, he ha d science
to help him. But he was new in the
country, and did not observe what
was happening. During the scuffle
around the room, as they were passing
the puncher's bed, the man seized up
his pistol from it. But another cow
boy caught his hand in time, and the
bullet went into the floor by the
doctors feet. This was the first in
timation which the doctor had that
he and sudden death were sporting to-
gether. The play, which with him
had gone on as it began, innocent and
good-humored. had progressed into
earnest, and then into wild intent to
kill, in the cow-puncher. All of us
have seen sparring matches where
temper has been lost and the true
game a little forgotten; but few,
imagine, have seen anything like this.
The doctor had sensation. After a
little while, when the cowboy became
cool again, he was sorry-honestly
sorry. He asked to shake hands, and
owned that he had been 'hasty.' And
so in time they all went to sleep. as
innocent and satisfied as children; and
next morning the cow-puncher rode
off early to town to get his mail.
IF this story ended here. perhaps
it would not have been worth telling.
But it does not end here.
''Town was also the doctors destin
tion this morning. and in due time he
arrived there. Entering his office, a
not unusual thing awaited nina
corpse laid out. In this town they al
ways brought dead people to the doc
tors room. He inquired who this was.
for the head had been shot beyond
identification. 1t was the cow-punch-
err; and they told him what had hap
pened. The man had ridden into town,
rot his mail, taken it to a room
where he always stayed when he came
to town, read his letter there. and shot
himself on finishing it. They never
knew why. He had torn The letter in o
scraps.
The lesson given to the doctor by
such an experience was this: Never
play with people who care nothing for
their own lives. They may not care
for yours

the crater of Mount Popocatapetl, the
famous volcano of the North American

in describing the trip says the crater

fury.

acre. saw shocks so thick in the
field that it would be almost imPossir

Thousands of such testimonies are
to be had from settlers who have
taken advantage of the low-priced
lands of Western Canada. During the
present year new districts will be
opened up in the Saskatchewan Val

this at once. Information can be had

Everybody may not know that in
royal households it is not the custom
to relight candle. For however
short time it has been burning, IF
once extinguished, it is never used
again-at least not in the precincts of
the palace. Another quaint mon
archial custom is that there are al
WAYS two sets of servants. to insure
better service. The one set goes on
duty for three weeks. and when that
time has expired another set will take
their place, SO that in the sovereign's
palace there is always one complete
retinue at work while their duplicates
are resting until their three weeks of
service comes round again.-London

Ofwhat happened next Quin retained

he survived the peril of wave and reef,

Quin spent day in searching vainly
