WIZ THE GAME APPEARED.

Not long ago a monument was I'M
yelled at Pretoria over the grave Of the
late Paul Kruger. The once supreme
figure of the African republic is now
remembered more for his mistakes than
for his achievements. Fate dealt
hardly with the old ruler who played
50 great a part in the making Of a
sturdy nation. Death found him not
even a citizen of the country OF which
he had been president. He died in exile,
his land in subsection to foreigner.
ImperiOus and dOmineering, he went
out of life a beaten man.
Kruger possessed a Bismarckian gift
for blunt and vivid phrases.
Go back and tell your people never,
never!'' he said to a deputatiOn. And
now let the storm burst. Protest! In
sist! What is the use? l have tho
guns!"
MY friends" he once began a
speech: then, perceiving some ''Out-
Ianders'' in the audience, he added:
"But you are not all friends; some
are thieves and murderers. Well
friends, thieves and murderers :"
The president was a curious mixture
of piety and shrewdneSs. A story is
told Of an incident which occurred in
his earlier days.
At one time, when game was very
scarce, he went with a party to hunt
the hartbeest. They secured the weld
FOR days without a sign of their prey.
Paul Kruger announced then his pur-
pose of going into the hills to pray for
food, like a patriarch of old.
He was gone for number of hours.
When he returned he announced that
in three days a large herd would pass
that way. The party camped, in less
than the appointed time the prophecy
was fulfilled, and much game was Sc
cured. The Boer hunters were much
struck with wonder, and dubbed Kru-
ger "the man of prayer"
Some time after. the Kaffir who ac-
COMMANDED Kruger on his expedition of
petition told the truth of the affair.
Kruger. when he left the hunting
party, had struck out for a neighboring
Kaffir kraaI. and informed the natives
that his men were starving. If they,
the natives, did not discover the game
in three days. he said, he would bring
his whole party over the hill and Kill
every Kaffir. The natives, being sore
afraid of Boer methods, all turned out,
secured the region, and drove the game
TO the Boer camp. Thus KrugerS
tprayer'' was answered.

traits, and>it is hard to have any feel
ing OF confidence about the matter even
when they seem to be most certainly
dead. 1t has been shown that years
after their supposed period of activity
they have retained their death-dealing
qualities.
An instance is given of the devastat-
ing plague that broke cut in the Dutch
town of HARLEM about the time Of the
London plague.
A whole family who died Of this dis
ease were inferred in the churchyard,
and it was found necessary a few years
ago to repair the family tomb contain
ing their bodies. The masons who were
so employed proved the activity of these
germs after two hundred years, by con-
tracing, in a mild form, the original
disease, from which, however, they all
recovered.
Another case was a Scotch bank-nOte
discovered by a girl in the Bible that
her grandfather had used at the time
of his death from some malignant dis
ease. On taking it out of the book she
licked the corner of the note to prove
its genuinenesS, and contracted the dis
ease which had been fatal to her ances-
tor seventy-six years before.
An epidemic broke out among the
sharks in the Indian Ocean which
proved to be cholera, and the suppose
ton is that they became infected by
devouring the bodies Of British sailors
who had died of this disease and were
buried in Bombay Harbor.
The hardy microbe is believed to sur
vive on land for over two centuries,
and maintain its activity still longer
in water.

AT the Consignee's Risk.

There used to be in Philadelphia,
says a writer in the Gentleman Farm
er, a commission firm noted for its
close dealing. 1t was Il habit with
this firm always to demand, or at least
to request, some discount from the
original bills presented to them.
They dealt for several years with a
Rhode Island farmer who sold them
live turkeys. One year they ordered
dressed birds instead, but it is evident
that the clerical force was not inform
ed of the change. A week after the
turkeys were shipped the farmer was
surprised to receive the usual com
plaint that four of the turkeys were
dead when they arrived, and the re
quest that he deduct the price of them
from the bill for the consignment.
1T is with regret" he replied, "that
1 have to advise you that 1 cannot
make the concession requested.
1T is my custom to require that al
patrons desiring dressed turkeys ia
notify us in advance, so we may for.
ward them in heated cars. Owing to
the chill prevailing at Thanksgiving
time, turkeys without feathers or in
sides are liable to take cold if shipped
i'm the ordinary manner. The mortal
ity among dressed turkeys was very
large this year"

the working out of problem suggested
by the recent war in the Far East. The
Irish INVASION" which was the prin-
cipal feature of the English maneuvres,
was enthusiastically a British prob
lem, although it was carefully studied
by japanese officers as containing a
lesson capable of application to that
Island empire in the other part of the
world. 1t was entirely a study in de-
Tense and in demonstrating the true
value of sea power. The field tactics
and the theoretical campaigns of the
other Continental armies, where they
were not purely academic, were purely
European in their significance.
At the annual man9uvres there is
usually tried some new fighting de-
vice or piece of military equipment
which has been Professionally adopted
during the year. There has been no
falling off in the number of novelties
put to the test of a campaign at the
man9uvres. France, perhaps, may be
said to take the lead in the showing
of improvements. Apart from the at
tention paid to testing the destructive
action of siege pieces on modern for
tifications, the handling Of the new
mobile siege gun and the use of sew
eral novel military devices, the maneu-
vres of France this year were not inn
posing.
A smaller number of troops were en-
plOyed than usual, but one army corps
the SecOnd-being engaged. The field
of operations was in the neighborhood
Of COmpiegne. As usual, the French

occurs or when repairs are needed.
They are gentlemen and mental tasks
are for common workmen.
The same spirit is shown among the
mechanics. When plumber is sent
for he usually comes attended by his
man. His business is to tell the man
what to do, while he himself stands
by and watches him. The farmer does
not go out to work upon his farm. He
mounts a horse and rides round, tell
ing his laborers what work must be
done.
Ask a common laborer to carry your
hand luggage to the boat or to the sta.
ton and very likely he will come at
the appointed hour with a colored boy,
whom he orders to take up the load
and carry it, while he himself receives
the money and walks by the side of
the boy.

Every year the World Powers col
lectively spend, at a conservative esti-
mate, from 100000 to $5,OOO,OOO to
test their armies, and, particularly, to
work out or to give practical trial of
the strategic problems which have been
scientifically prepared by their general
stats. These sums mentioned are in
dependent of the pay of officers and
men engaged, and do not include the
regular ratiOns. to both of which the
troops engaged would be entitled wheth-
er they were in barracks or taking
part in manGuvres. The extra expense
is to be reckoned from charges of
transportation, compensation for dam
age to private property, damage to
equipment, wear and tear on equip
ment and ammunition expended AS
there are usually from 10000 to $4,000
men engaged an extra expenditure of
from 100000 to 100000 for a ten
days or two weeks campaign con-
Quoted with as near approach to con
-ditiOns in actual war as possible is, if
anything, an underestimate.
Military observers present during
the drills in Europe have declared that
none of the armies appears to have de-
rived any benefit from the lessons
taught by the Japanese War or
by the equally eloquent and significant
facts contributed by the Boer conflict
The criticism does not seem to have
been borne out by the facts so far as
the French maneuvres were concerned.

STATE ROLLING IN WEALTH.
@~@o0ONN0N-

Wisconsin Corporations Pay Three
Times the Taxes People Do.
The people of Wisconsin paid into the
State treasury this year a little over
100000 by general taxation and received
back as aid to the common, graded and
free high schools three times that amount.
The money to make this possible andsalso
to pay all the expenses of administering
the State government came from taxes
on railroads and other corporations,
whose public contributions have been
largely increased by this commonwealth
during the last few years. There has
been received from the Federal treasury
more than S1,000,000, like sum from the
railroads in increased taxes and an in
crease Of some 100000 in license fees
from corporations which are required to
file articles Of incorporation and reports
in the Office of the Secretary of State.
The result of this flow of money into the
State treasury was that there was really
no emergent necessity for any levy Of
taxes upon general property at all, but
Governor Davidson opposed renting the
entire levy because he deemed it wise to
have a good supply of cash for the build
ing of the new capitol, which is already
under construction. State Superintendent
c. 2. Cary has announced the annual APP
portionment of the State school fund in
come consisting of more than $1,6GO,O0O,
among the counties of the State in pro
portion to the number of school children
in each county. The rate Of apportion-
ment was $2166 for each child. The
State also distributes to the graded
schools an annual fund Of $4,000, also
an annual fund of 100000 to the free
high schools and several smaller funds
for county training schools for teachers
and manual training institutions.

tillerists lost their lives by premature
explosions, and one gun exploded,
wounding eight men. During the cav
airy charges several troopers were
thrown from their horses, and either
killed or wounded.
The staff tour, organized by Lieuten-
ant-General Sir John French which
was watched with great interest by
three Japanese officers, as well as mil
itary observers from France, Germany,
Prussia, Austria and the United States,
was much the most important man9u-
vre held in England in recent years
The lessons of the man9uvres are
yet to be written, but it was evident
that the loss of command of the sea
is fatal to a country situated as is
England and engaged in war. The
advance made in wireless telegraphy
was noticeable. A portable apparatus
was carried with the cavalry division,
and was set up and put into operation
within thirty minutes, while twenty
minutes were required to dismantle and
march on.
Military critics who were fortunate
enough to witness the first man9uvreS
of the new EurOpeanized Chinese army
were favorably impressed. Four divis
ions, complete in infantry, cavalry,
artillery, engineers, transport and med.
ical service, took part, and the exhibit
ton was a revelation to the thirty for
eign attaches who watched the we'll
drilled, soldierly looking force. The
uniforms worn are European in cut,
and, excepting for the historic ''pigtail''
to which the Chinese still cling, the
sturdy fighters would make an impos-
ing figure on any field. Serious efforts
are now being made to collect and
train an army for China. Nearly 200,-
900 men are being formed into modern
soldiers, and within ten years it is
expected that China will have half a
million troops of all services in fit con-
ditiOn.
