EFFECT OF ARMY ROUTINE.
Habit That Grows Upon Officers Until
It Becomes Second
Nature.

Visitors to army headquarters on Gov
ernor's Island often notice that officers
have a habit of referring to the written
or printed record for the most trifing
questions of fact. They never rely upon
memory, says the New York Press, for
even unimportant matters of routine
which civilians would no more think Of
forgetting than hardened commuter
would think of forgetting the time Of
his morning train to the city. Ask an
officer in the adjutant generals or quar-
termaster's department., for instance,
where the first battalion of the Six
teenth infantry is and he will consult
his records before answering, even
when letter to the commanding officer
of the battalion is lying addressed on his
desk.
The other day visitor to the island
asked an officer high in command what
time the parade of troops took place
next morning. The man In Khaki looked
at his printed copy of the general or.
ders before answering: "Ten o'clock"
Yet the parade had been going on every
day for months right under his Office
windows.
1T is habit that grows upon US with
the routine Of garrison work." he said
IF tried to remember where one COM
pany in the department of the east is
CHARTERED I might as we'll try to re-
member them all. If I carried in my
memory the time for parade I might
as we'll try to learn the general orders
by heart. Experience teaches army men
never to burden their memories with
facts. and figures that they know they
can find on the instant by turning to the
record"

When two letter carriers Of tho Chi
cago post ONCE were asked II peopls
as general rule say THANK you" when
they are handed letters or parcels, both
men answered that comparatively few
were so polite, says the Tribune Of that
city. .I
The letter men. the most anxiously
looked for public servants that ring
doorbells in Chicago, men who make
their rounds as regularly rs clockwork
itself. the one class of callers that peo-
pie are always glad to see On their door,
steps, say that the substantial men and
women who have come over here from
Norway and Sweden, who have pros
pered, built homes and raised families,
seem best to appreciate their work In
reaching them every day in all kinds OF
weather with their mail.
One of the carriers said that It does
not make any difference what kind Of
mail he delivers to them, he always gets
cheerful Thank you" The letter
may be known to contain a bill or 1t
may have black border, but its deliv-
cry always provokes the same two
words.
1t is surprising to know how many
deliveries are made at back doors and
through windows. In the outer dis
tricts, where the houses are small, some
have no halls. To 60 to the front door
makes it necessary to 60 through the
front room or parlor. At hundreds Of
such places mail is delivered at the
rear, but many other people get their
mail through a window. The carrier
knocks on the window pane and at once
the sash is raised and the letter or paper
taken in. Sometimes the curtain is
raised to reveal four or five frowsy-
headed urchins all making a scramble to
take in the letters.

DO We REQUIRE A CHANGE?
The Modern idea Of Holiday-Making
and Its Effect on the
People.

Men and women in civilization retain
many of the primitive instincts Of ami
mails, children and savages, and these
get on quite well with what they are &C.
customed to day after day, and never
worry because they cannot do some
thing tomorrow which did not occupy
them yesterday, says the Saturday Re-
view. Without going further back than
q century, our forefathers got on very
we'll with the minimum Of change in
their habits; they did not oftentake holi-
days for q change; they lived and died
at good old age without having wor-
ried themselves in seeking changes Of
scene. Old peoples chances Of life are
increased by steadily living in the same
manner, and change would be the most
likely thing to kill them. Women, in
spite of their being the mutable sex,
whose lives have greater actuarial
value than mems, desire ana take change
less than men do.
Insshort the lower you 60 in the scale
Of general intelligence, culture and re-
finement, the less desire Of change is
found. Imperturbable sameness and
not! change is their ideal of pleasure and
gives them most satisfaction. This Is
the explanation of their restricted range
Of eating and drinking. What are DELI
cacies to people of the more cultured
classes are disgusting to them, and II
they are offered to them are refused
with the most perfect fastidiousness
ever to be met with in matters of the
table. Indeed a complete change of diet
would be completely abhorrent tosany-
body, and this is equally true Of the
change Of occupation which We call
holiday-making.
