THE ARMY OF HAYTI.
COMIC OPERA SOLDIERS OF THE
BLACK REPUBLIC.

laughabIe In Peace, But Might Be
Dangerous in Time Of War-Pom.
pous Private Who Objected to Be.
ing Laughed At.
Hayti is chiefly remarkable by rea.
son of its being a military republic,
with an army of 1000 generals and
1000 privates-a general to each
Tommy. The generals are extraor-
binary men in more than one sense
of the word. There is one who com.
mands a large province in the re-
public, who is of the lowest of the
people, who can neither read nor
write. and who is nevertheless a great
revolutionary power. This man-Gen.
Johannis Merisier--is obliged to ask
one man to read to him what another
man has written for him, and yet in
his hands are the lives and deaths of
the people over whom he rules.
Every third man you meet in Hayti
is general, but it is only every
tenth general who gets paid; it has
to be conceded that each general does
his best to pay himself. The author
lied rate of pay is E140 annually for
general of division and G105 for a
brlgadier. captain is passing rich
on e12 a year; a private thinks him
self fortunate if he receives G2 los.
during the same period.
The Haytian soldiers uniform Is
fearful and wonderful thing. Let us
review a regiment on parade. Some
of them are shod in dried grass slip
with red band. One man, perhaps,
is wearing a shabby pair of old tweed
trousers, and slung by hemp rope
over his shoulders is an old-fashioned
iiint-lock gun. The officer who COM
mands the regiment is brandshing a
rusty sword
The army, 1t goes without saying,
is miserably housed. In Port-au-
Prince, the capital of Hayti, you will
hundred yards. They live in
wretched guard rooms, which are
merely long novels, with piazzas
raised two feet above the street. Be-
low flows an open drain. The men
themselves drink, smoke, and gam
Bile all the weary day.
You must never allow a smile to
cross your face-however. tempted
! you may be to laugh-if you meet a
| Haytian soldier. A European diplo-
matst landed once at Port-au-Prince
and on his way from the ship he fell
in with what he imagined to be tat
tered mOuntebank carrying rifle. He
smiled, for the black mans pompous
solemnity was immensely funny. At
once the Negroes face changed.
You laugh at me? You laugh at
me?" he cried, furiously.
He was a soldier of the republic;
his fingers flew to his cartridges, and
the visitor waited for no more, but
fed up the street.
The Haytian soldier needs but the
license of a political strife to lash
him into frenzy. Given political trou-
bles and modicum of shooting in
the streets, and a man such as we
have just described, with intense
Feasibility of temper and thousands
of companions like himself, he would
become a very perilous and terrible
element in the general anarchy.
The Haytian army in peace time
may be like that upon comic opera
stage, but given a war, it would be-
come a hotbed of tragedy.-London

1t is very easy for the. boy to fall
into the way of looking outside the
home for appreciation. and for en-
tertainment. You know yourself,
every sister of you, how much
easier it is to interest other boys
that come to your house, and to en-
terrain them than it is to find out
Just what your own brother likes.
"He is SO funny and sort of shy,
and never says whether he likes
things; and you know he does not
care about family transactions"
He will care if you show him how
to care. Boys can think and feel
the same as other people; when q
boy, no matter what his age may
be. comes home, do everything to
make it comfortable for him. Do
not hint at dirty shoes, overlook
that and pay attention to the boy,
and he will in time look after his
shoes; particularly ii he finds the
house as neat as pin.
Take an interest in all his affairs
whether they be play, school or
work. Talk over the days happen
ings, his experiences, the people
he met, what words were exchanged
and 80 on. All these little atten-
tions help to hold him closer to
the home. provided you do it in a
way that will not make him think
you have an object in view, or that
you are spying on him. Ask his
opinion on your new bonnet, or
the new wall paper, or even the ex-
pensive painting you have bought,
and tell him the points which you
enjoy. Please the boy and he will
please you.
A teacher once asked little BOY.
"Rew many boys does it take to
