HOW THE SWISS MAKE AN ARMY
$4,000 Soldiers t. a Population Of Only
Three Millions

TIE Swiss army is one Of the most
remarkable Of her political institutions.
It is the ideal toward which the com
mon people of every European country.
weighed down with taxation, 20 sup-
port huge standing armies, turn with
ionging and hope.
According TO the Arena tie Swiss sys-
TEN of militia saves millions of money to
the taxpayers and gives years Of free
dom from military service to the sol
diers
Practically all Swiss serve from the
age of 20 TO 50 IN the militia and re-
serves. The raw recruits go into schools,
the infantry for forty-hyc days, the cav
alry for eight days.
After this the cavalry serves sixteen
days each year and the infantry and ar
tlliery fourteen days each every other
year Tic reserves serve only five or
six days every four years, The officers,
of course, arr carefully trained in good
schools for period of years.
This short service would be insufficient
were it not preceded aud supplemented
10y military training for boys ia school
mad rifle practice every ycai hy practi-
calIy all Swiss citizens.
Target shooting IS the national sport
and ia accordance with the law n place
for target practice must be supplied by
every town in the country. AS an en-
courag cement prizes OF all sorts are Of
fercd by the national government.
Thus little Switzerland with n popu-
lation of less than 100000 of people,
has an army of 337 900 of the most
martial soldiers of Eurupe-armed
equipped and ready To take the field ut Il

In addition to manual training taught II

Because of the Landicrafts Sweden has
NOT many textile factories. says The
Cfartsman. although there are some
where conditions Of work are, for the
most part, good. The people, however,
are encouraged to continue hand weaving
and to hold to their time honored indus
trial customs rather than 10 take the
risk of o disturbed economic order due to

About Jane TOppan.

Many of our readers who have follow
ed somewhat closely of late years the
life and history of Miss Jane Toppan,
who is now the best known inmate of
the Taunton Mass. Insane Hospital, will
be interested to know that she is slowly
regaining her sanity. She has gained
wonderfully in bodily strength and her
mind has gradually freed itself of the
hallucinations with which it was haunt
ed for so many months. Miss Toppan is
now taking medicine of her own volition
and in quantities sufficient to give her
more strength than she has enjoyed for a
long time.
