GREAT BRITAIN's CADETS.
New System for Training Army and
Navy Officers.

From the London Express.
1t Is pleasant to be able to congratulate
both fighting services upon distinct signs OF
progress In respect to the efficient training
Of their cadets. The commissioning yester-
day of the second-class cruiser Isis as a
sea-going tender to the Britannia Is very
notable and valuable forward step. Hence
forth the cadets, haYing finished the Junior
course on board the famous training ship,
or later on upon the shore college that Is to
supersede her, will seniors also be en-
abled to learn real sea work on board a
modern cruiser furnished with modern
guns.
The advantages 81 this innovation scarce
ly call for elucidation. The merest landlub-
Der, who would not know fighting top
from a capStan, cannot fail to appreciate
the benefits that the boys destined to be-
come the men who will have the fate or
the British navy in their hands must derive
from early and thorough practice upon rear
cruises on real Warship. 1t Is one of those
reforms the merits of which are Ineligible
to everybody. expert and outsider alike.
With regard to army cadets, the change to
which We wish to refer was announced in
yesterday mornings paper. 1t is a small
matter on the face of 1t, and considered by
itself-a much smaller matter than the COM
misSioning of the Isis. But we have every
reason to hope that in truth 1t Is very sig
nificant. We are referring to the new ar
rangement at Sandhurst, whereby In future
champagne and other wines will entirely
disappear from the cadets evening mess,
and nothing more costly than beer Will be
permitted as drink With their dinners. That
may seem a tritie, as we say. In itself: but
it is a straw that very satisfactorily shows
how the wind will blow under the new EFF
ficiency" regime of Colonel Kitson.
This Punishment Of wine, of course, is In
tended a check upon the formation of
extrava CANT habits in the budding army Of
ficer There Is point upon which army
reformerS have more justly laid stress than
upon the imperative necessity of making
the career of an officer possible to a man of
restricted means. The report Of the army
education committee amply confirmed all
that had been said as to the way in which
extravaganza was practically compulsory in
too many regiments, and showed that the
trouble began at Sandhurst. A very useful
step was taken less than month ago, when
the war office decided that army officers
meSSeS and the quarters of unmarried regi-
mental officers at home stations should in
future be furnished at the public expense,
thereby saving young officers, or rather
their parents, from a tax that ought never
to have been imposed upon them. The ban
ishment of wine from the Sandhurst tables
is an even more salutary move in the same
direction.
1t is impossible to begin too early to train
up the cadet in the way he should go as an
officer in the career of his life and there
to habituate him not to expensive tastes

las for the false hair that New York
ladies are going to wear this season, enere
are two-no. three reasons for 1t. In the
first place, the low styles OF doing the mar
call for great deal more hair to look well
than the high. There Is that hollow In the
head, you see. that has to be filled up with
something: but whatever hair you've got
shows for all it's worth. 1t were, when
you mass it on top of your head. Then.
again-this Is reason member two-the
American ladies as a rule have not got hair
enough of their own to make a low Golf
fure satisfactorily. Their hair is not so
strong or so heavy as the average English
woman's head of hair.
Convenience Of False Hair.
Lastly, false hair is often much more
convenient to wear than ones own hair.
being easier to manage and more easily ad-
justed. You can pin on a curl or a puff in
a second. where to make the curl or the
puff would be matter Of time and may be
out of the question. Lustreless, dark brown
hair is the cheapest shade to buy. and natu-
raj blond and natural gray the dearest.
A good, wel-made switch of the former
can be bought from s. up to $50 while the
same thing in natural gray starts at $33,
and from that scars about as high as you
like The reason why gray hair is so ex-
pensive is that 1t is very hard to get. Eu-
ropean women don't grow gray the way
Americans do. Then, too. by the time a
woman is old enough over there to have
gray hair she Is usually too old to have
much hair left. Furthermore. you can't
make gray hair out Of any other kind Of
hair-ft has to be gray to start with.
Paris is the headquarters of the whole
sale trade in false hair" the English hair
dresser with the French name went on.
1.-The Paris buyers go around Europe once
or twice a year buying hair from the peas
ant women: then they ship goods to the
wholesale houses in New York. and from
them the retailers get their stocks. France
and Germany grow the most hair for ex-
port, but golden hair comes largely from
Sweden. None Of it grows on American
heads-that 1 know Of. Even If American
women did grow hair fine enough for the
tradesrnan, they wouldn't part with it. I'll
go bail. There is a widespread superstition
that dead peoples heads are shaved to OBJ
tain switches and wigs. That's nonsense.
1t wouldn't be allowed by any country,-and
II 1t was allowed nobody would want the
hair. because it would be as dead as the
corpse it came from. 1t would have lost its
brilliancy and luster.

ATHLETES OF PROMISE
GOOD MEN IN HIGH SCHOOLS
Myrick and HasbrOOlk Have Shown
! the Hest Form Among This
a{ Years Men.

Among the high school athletes who
participated in the interscholastic track
meet were two or three upon whom the
management of the state university ath-
let1cs would do well to keep its eagle
eye. For the last ten years the twin
city high schools have comprised one Of
the principal sources from which uniyer-
s1ty athletes have been drawn.
Most notable among the high school
track athletes of the year is Myrick, the
South high colored Splinter, who for three
years has been without peer among
nigh school men. No Splinter in the hts
tory OF the. university has ever shown such
promise during his preparatory school
days. Although the accuracy of the time
or ten seconds given out for Myrick' s
100 yards at the state fair grounds last
Saturday may be questioned, it cannot be
doubted that he is a phenomenal man for
his age in short-distance races. - =:
1T goes without saying that Myrick at
the present time is not the equal OF the
best college sprinters. Whether he can
be depended upon as a point winner for
Minnesota In future years, therefore, is
contingent upon his willingness to learn
and his ability to develop.
Myr1ck at present runs with little
science, depending wholly upon his speed.
He runs in bad form, judged by accepted
standards OF STYLE and therefore it is
reasonable to suppose that under a good
coach he would develop consistently for
three or four years. 80 So.
Hasbrook, the Minneapolis Central
hurdler, Is another most promising man.
He runs now with almost as much style
and speed as was shown by Bockman
four years ago. He has good build for
a hurdler, tall and slender, but muscular,
carrying no surplus weight. He has made
the remarka BILE height (for school bow
OF 5 feet 8 inches in, the high jump, which
indicates that he should be a valuable
man in this event also.
