The long practice march OF two bat
teries is attracting much attention. The
22d U. 8. Battery Of Light Artillery.
which has been at Fort Douglas near
Salt Lake City. Is changing stations with
the 18th Battery, that has been at Fort
Riley, Kan. The two stations are 1000
miles apart, and the batteries will march
the entire distance. making It at q rate
OF Is miles q day and occupying 20
days for the trip. Undoubtedly II Is
an excellent thing to give this march
practice to the Batteries. but 1t would
seem that 1t should have been made
when the weather was pleasant and the
grass in better condition. The snow
season has now begun in most Of the
country to be traversed, and the bat
tories will in all likelihood have to en-
counter heavy storms. While this
march attracts much attention now, ex-
petitions of similar length were the
customary thing I'm the years between
1850 and the completion Of the Pacific
railroads 1t was usual performance
for the infantry, accompanied with cav
airy and artillery, to start from Fort
Lcavenworth and march to Salt Lake,
or down through the Southwest to Santa
Fe or Fort Yuma, and any man who
enlisted in the Regular Army could look
forward to 1.000-mile march as being
an experience that he would probably
have several times before he completed
his five years enlistment.

Child Thrift in France.
Companion,

Youths Companion.
Thrift is a habit which requires to
be formed early. The boy or girl
who does not realize the value of
money is not likely to be prudent in
later life. And whatever encourages
children to save small sums of money
does good.
What is done in this country by
voluntary organizations is done on
larger scale in France by the savings
banks. The children of the common
schools deposit with their teachers
any sum of money they save from
sou-which is about the equal OF an
American cent-upward. Once a
month agents of the savings banks go
the rounds of the schools and collect
the chilren's savings. He who de-
posts but a single sou receives a
small handbook and when he. has de-
posted a franc he receives a large
handbook.
During the last seventeen years
French boys and girls have opened
more than 100000 accounts in the
savings banks. Many of the children,
or their parents, for them deposit an
endowment fund, which is meant to
give them a capital Of from $1,000 to
$4,000 when they become Of age.

The English Face.

London Globe.
It was an American who, meeting
an Englishman in a country hotel IN
the state, opened conversation SYM
pathetically with the word: "Cheer
up! It may uot. be true, and if it is
true it may be all for the best" And
he was surprised to find that the Brit
on's look of acute gloom was normal
and not the result Of any more than
ordinary bad news. The prevailing
notion of the American with regard
to the Englishman is that he looks
"as if his only friend on earth was
yellow dog. and he had lost the dog"
For years the habitants of the states
have been scrutinizing the faces OF
British visitors to Try to ascertain
whether their resigned expression is
due to recent bereavement, confirm
ed misanthropy or simply to super
ciliousness. According to a weekly
paper. some Americans attribute the
