The Soldiers Idle lime.

Military life is necessarily made up
largely of loafng. You cannot keep
man continuously at drilling, march
ing or any other branch of military
training for eight hours day and fve
or six days week. You have to IN
vent a great many other jobs for him,
even to make n pretence of keeping
him occupied. But these jobs are near
ly all "loafing" jobs. and when it IS all
done the soldier has a great many
more idle hours on his hands per
diem than any other man in the same
rank of life | do not know whether
il is possible to arrive at any remedy
for this; but, if it is, the direction in
which should look for the remedy
would be to make every soldier work
at some other trade for certain num-
Der OF hours each day. The number
Of hours mignt be shorter in the sum
mer. when there is more opportunity
for training and military exercise, and
longer in the winter II this we're
practicable. no doubt it would make an
enormous difference to the value oil
the soldier as citizen when he leaves
the ranks.-Iondon Truth.
