The GoSSipS.

While standing in one of the
corridors last Thanksgiving Day,
swapping "reminiscences with an
acquaintance, the editor Of our
weekly publication happened to
pass by. The party I was con-
versing with asked me if I could
inform him who the gentleman
was who had just passed. I gave
him the desired information, and
he seemed somewhat surprised.
Was about to question him, when
he burst forth: "Who would a
thought itp' After considerable
length of silence he continued:
"That individual must nave worked
his way up round by round until
he reached his present position, at
the top of the ladder. He un.
doubleday attained it by dint OF
physical and intellectual exertion.'
When asked for the reason of such
warm praise, he said: "One day
I was moving lumber and run
against load beyond my heft. I
was about to seek for assistance,
when who should come along but
ye editor, and seeing my predic-
ament, volunteered his service
unsolicited. jim.

must give it chance. In the
navy it is different. A sailor must
either be clean shaver, or grow a
full beard and mustache. A SOL
dier, on passing a funeral, is re-
quired to salute the hearse. This
is in. lieu Of the old English GUS
tom of uncovering the head, in
token of respect to the dead. It a
soldier is charged with being
drunk, the commander of the
guard is not permitted to smell
of his breath, or to put him to any
test to ascertain his condition, but
must judge by simply looking at
him, and talking to him. If the
man SO charged admits having
taken one drink, the charge is held
to be substantiated.
But, in spite of regulations,
hard work, and small pay. Tommy
manages to have fairly good time.
He has little to trouble him for he
is housed, clothed and fed, and his
ways are ordered for him, to a
great extent. IF he is married,
Mrs. Tommy usually does her
share toward making both ends
meet, by doing some of the regi-
mental washing. But if unmarried,
Tommy's surplus pay usually finds
it's way to the Golfers Of the can
teen. L. r. j.

Universal Peace.

Under the above caption was
recently read before the Chautau-
tua Circle one of the most able
and heightened papers it has been
my lot to listen to, but to my
amazement the tone of the criti-
cism which followed was distinctly
hostile, almost entirely favorable
to war as a means of settling in
ternational disputes. [ have been
careful student of history and 1
have yet to find the first war that,
according to Christian principles,
could be justified. Not one is
there recorded which gained for
the conqueror additional benefits
or perquisites that could not have
been gained if referred to an en-
tirely disinterested tribunal.
True, nations were not educated
to this standard in ancient or even
modern times, nor were the facili-
ties for travel so unrestricted as
they now are. It takes a close
acquaintance to show us one
another's good points; and as men
and nations become acquainted,
the desire to wallow in one anoth-
er's gore abates. Again, all wars
ended are matters of history;
bloody pages one could indeed
wish were blotted out. Let US, in
the language Of Buch Murphy,
"Fergit 'em," and each one do our
small share in fostering a senti-
ment opposed to war as barbarous,
cruel and unwarranted.
War must cease! God in his
providence has endowed men with
such fertile inventive intellects
that war engines are becoming so
deadly that nations will soon no
longer dare fight; no matter what
the base passions may incite men
to desire to do, their sense of dis
erection and instructive desire to
live will compel them to resort to
arbitration in settling their dis
putes. In closing let me relate
the parable of the ancient canni-
balls. Shall we be modern emula-
tors of their philosophy?
"Once upon time there was a
cannibal tribe which, under the
influence of teachings from what q
great many members of the tribe
regarded as a more civilized
source, began to abandon the an
cient and horrible habit of eating
human flesh. Up rose a stout de-
fender of tradition, a most excellent,
cultured cannibal and cried out
I'VE have always eaten human
flesh, and we always shall! Fur.

Tommy Atkins.

They take him from the city and the pillow,
And they dress him up, and make him look so
neat,
They teach him to uphold his manly brow,
And how to walk, and where to place his feet.
1t doesn't matter what he's been before,
Or what his parents gave him for name,
Once he, pocketed the shilling and the uniform
he's filling.
They call him Tommy Atkins, just the same.
The above, from a popular song,
known to probably every Tommy
in the British empire, is absolute
ly true. Tommy Atkins is Tom
my Atkins, no matter who, or what
he was before he enlisted, whether
he wears the infantry red, the
artillery blue, or the rifle green.
He is simply a unit, that, with
thousands of other units, goes to
make up grand whole. It is also
true that if one man of a regi-
ment does an evil act, the whole
regiment is likely to be condemned
by the general public. Public
sentiment, toward the army, is
peculiar. It fuctuates. In time
of war the soldier is Wanted as a
hero, and nothing is too good for
him, but in times of peace he is
beneath notice. I believe this is
true IN all countries, except those
which have systems of conscrip-
ton. A man is considered lazy
and a degenerate if he enlists in time
of peace. AS Kipling aptly ex-
presses it:
"Its Tommy this, and Tommy that, and Tommy
go awav,
But it's thank you, Mr.. Atkins, when the band
begins to play
Altho the British army is be-
coming more and more efficient
every year, there is still great room
for improvement. The severe re-
verses they experienced in South
Africa, have caused the British to
sit up and take notice. Many old
and useless portions of soldiers
training are being eliminated, and
more attention is being paid to
craftsmanship, and modern meth
dds of attack. The battle of
Waterloo was won by the solidity
of the famous British square, in
which the bayonet repulsed the
brilliant charges of Napoleon's
cavalry. But such formations
would be suicidal in modern war
fare. The soldier, nowadays, is
taught to take advantage of every
cover, and to stalk the enemy like
hunter would a deer. The bay
onet is of little use, except in
rushing the enemies trenches, or
in sudden hand-to- hand attacks.
Tommy's life in barracks is not
altogether a bed of roses. If he
is lazy man, he soon finds that
army life does not suit him.
What with early rising, and drills,
and duties, he finds himself
pretty busy man. He is required
to shave every day whether he
needs it or not. His buttons and
buckles are made of brass
the freight kind, used in the Amer
lean army-but the old-fashioned
kind that furnishes. So the but
ton-stick and brush are in con-
slant requisition. His equipment
straps are either white or tan, and
the pipe-clay, or the tan polish,
must be literally applied. He is
not allowed to walk out, until he
has been inspected by a noncom-
missioned officer, who decides
whether his appearance is calcu-
lated to uphold the dignity of
the regiment or not.
There are few regulations in
the British service that are not
generally known. For instance,
a soldier must not shave his upper
lip. If he can grow a mustache,
well and good, butIat any rate, he
