II is true that under lax discipline and
where access to liquors is easy the amount
of drinking Is increased, and at some posts

severe discipline this can be reduced to the
minimum.

Ii is repeat ediy stated that army officers

officers are not temperance men; hence the
allowance must be made for their lax dis

writer disclaims any intention OF doing IN
justice to our brave army officers. whose
lives especially upon the frontier. are filled
with privations and hardships. but candor
compels him TO think that, according TO
his limited observations, most OF them

consequence was that most OF our officers

An Invitation to Thieves.

Philadelphia Record.
The latest style in womens purses-the
kind that has the chain attached, makes
the work of the thief easy, especially In
a crowd. So says a detective employed in
one of the department stores. The chain
is either worn over the wrist or is carried
in the hand, with the purse dangling below
and slick pickpocket is quick to take ad-
vantage of either method of carrying IT,
The clasp generally consists of the familiar
device of two round knobs crossing each
other-the easiest in the world to operate
So numerous have been the complaints of
late from women who have suffered at the
hands of the lightfingered gentry that all
the employees, salespeople. hoorwalkers and
cash boys have been instructed TO be on
the watch for the purse thieves.

Fashionable Diners.
The Onlooker.

There is a pretty custom coming into
vogue which one is glad to indorse. Some
score of sensible women are introducing a
fashion to dine bareheaded in such places
as Delmonicos and Sherrys. This is good
plan and should have won adoption long
ago. III woman be well coiffured she
looks her best without her hat and feels
many times more comfortable. There is
something unnatural about light frock
and head covering which should be done
away with. In Paris one may recognize
dweller of the half world from the fact that
she affects a hat when decollete. We are
almost incongruous when We wear huge
chapeaux to accompany lace Jokes and
flowing sleeves. The head uncovered is
better taste. as will be seen when We adopt
the mode.

surprise.

When Austria was only dukedom,
there were three rulers who won for
themselves the respective titles Cath
olic," GLORIOUS" and "Warlike." The
first was perhaps a religious man, like
Ferdinand the Catholic of Spain. The
second may have been like Lorenzo the
Magnificent and the third n great war
rior. And so from these titles or nick
names we have likewise some idea OF
the conditions of the people while
these dukes ruled.
France has had most wonderful as
sortment Of kings. One was the Little
and another the Bold. One was the
Stammerer. another Simple. while a
third and fourth were Indolent and
Fair. These names are descriptive OF
the kings themselves, but 1t is hardly
to be supposed that n king who was In
dolent or simple dad much to further
the interests of his subjects. But when
we fiud Robert IL called the Sage, we
realize that he ruled wisely and that
the people were better Off for It.
