CITIZEN ARMY.
Australian Federation Taking steps
90 Provide For National Defense.

W EFoNtue For NATIONAL Defense.
The idea OF n citizen army for the
Australian commonwealth is taking a
very strong hold OF large section of
the people. The scheme which seems
most likely to be adopted is that formu.
lated by Brgadier General Gordon.
cOmmandant OF the South Australian
forces. under which every man who ia
physically fit and between the ages of
Is and 81 will be taught to shoot. will
undergo an army training for certain
number OF weeks every year and will
undertake to join the ranks OF the fed.
eral volunteer army whenever neces.
slty arises.
The federal government would under
this scheme provide instruction, arms,
accoutermeuts, ammunition and uni.
form and would pay each man who
made himself efficient bonus OF flo to
f30 year for noncoms and regular
army pay for officers.
Each state would raise sufficient men
TO guarantee immunity against attack
by foreign foe and would supply the
needs OF the empire in the event OF any
such emergency as that which I'm South
Africa has found so loyal and enthusl.
astic response. Under this scheme II is
calculated that II would not be difficult
to raise within five years a capable and
efficient citizen army OF 100000 men.

speeches and conversations aboundec
In eplgrams. Many are the stories TOLD
TO illustrate his fertility in this direc

specimen OF the pork raised on his
farm IN Vermont Mr.. Evarts wrote this
characteristic note, which was founo
preserved among the historians papers
after his death:
Dear Bincroit-I send you two products Of ny
pen todsy-my usual half barrel Of pig pork ans
my eulogy on Chief Justice Chase. EvARrs.

man early formed in regard TO Har
ward, that there was no college in the
country whose graduates improved sc
much after leaving college"

Thomas Bayley Potter, a member OF

elevator that carried him to the state
department one day contained a mum.
Der OF strangers, presumably appli.
cants for appointment as ministers OF
consuls. On seeing them Mr.. Evarts
whispered TO a friend, This is the lar

that I've seen taken up in some time"
On n visit to the Natural bridge some
one expressed doubt in his hearing as
10 the truth OF the story that washing

bottom to the top OF the bridge. "Oh,"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an iphamed condition of the mu.
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or an imperfect
hearing, then It is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever, nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inilamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.

boxes, cigar boxes; and one man could
find nothing better than a piece OF
stove pipe which he nailed TO a tree, so
high that the carrier can just reach ii
by standing up in his cart. The owner
of this box has to come on horseback
TO get his mail or else bring ladder,
Another box is gourd with a hole cut
in one side, and hung from the limb OF
a tree.
Besides all these, there are number
of Uncle Sans own iron boxes, placed
by the government along the country
roads and from these the carrier col
lects mail each day just as it is done
in the city.
There is great advantage about the
life OF rural delivery man. He is al
ways welcome wherever he goes. Al
nearly every house along his route
some one is watching for him to appear
with his bag of letters and papers. He
hasn't much time to stop, but each one
has a word for him and he is generally
loaded up with a choice assortment OF
messages from house TO house all along
the way. On the whole, when IL doesn't
hail or rain or freeze too hard, the
rural deliveryman must have fairly
good time jogging over his route

GOOD WINTER GAMES.
There Are Many That VIII Help to
Make Fun and EnIiven nm Other
wise Dull Party.

We all know very many games to
play; the trouble is 10 think 81 fhem
at the right minute. If you are going
to give a candy pull or cobweb party
il is well to have good many games
thought up beforehand, alternating the
romping games with the quieter ones
in a little programme so that there
may be no awkward pauses.
Have you ever been to swap" par
ty? Each one is supplied with four or
five little bundles, wrapped SO that no
one else can suspect the contents. The
bundles may contain anything from a
tiuseI ball to a sunbonnet. Each one
praises up his own property, without
telling what 1t is, and the swapping ia
carried on with great show of bargain
ing. When everyone has swapped the
parcels are opened and the one who
has made the poorest swaps must tell
a story or suggest game, or in some
way entertain the company. After this
come other games, with apples and
nuts for refreshments.-Cincinnati En-
