An unusual series of courts martiaI

headquarters in Italy. 1t appears that
a large body OF the warrant officers
from all the garrisons have become so
dissatisfied with thas1 u5sat;.:op, and SO
hopeless OF seeing It improved Though
the ordinary channels, th2+ they have
sent q collective petition G-ect to the
war minister. And now at every post
a court martial consisting of d colonel,
two lieutenant colonies and two cap
tains is trying the delinquents on he
question Shall They BE D~egraded?'
At Milan alone, twelve quartermasters
are being tried.

Hopeless Either Way.

FROM the Iouth's Companion.
When the teacher called the class 70,
geography she noticed that Eben Wilkins,
her duliest pupil, wore a particularly
cheerful smile.
You look as if you knew your lesson
today she said, encouragingly.
"Yes'm, 1 do" he answered briskly.
THE answer to the first question is
North. and the next is Alaska and the
next Is United States and the next is
-"
But that is not the way to learn your
lesson, Eben," and the teacher struggled
for a properly severe expression. ,"You
must skip about. That is what / shall dc
in asking the questions"
Eben looked as If the joy of living had
departed once for all.
But supposing l didn't skip about just
the way you do" he said, plaintively,
then I'd be all mixed up"

The naming of the n in the
southern part OF Philadelphia after
governors of the state which has been
in progress for several years, was
further e~xempliied recently, when
Stuart avenue was so designated in
honor of the present Equatorial in
cumbent. Other such emu are PEN
nypacker, Stone, Snyder, Patterson,
Beaver and Hastings. There Is room
for only four more and the next four
governors will probably be the honored
ones. After that some other way OF
Incorporating the names of governors
will have to be found.

tice, provided that the COWS when so liberated should be furnished with sufficient clothing or covering to pro- tect them from the cold, just the same as the human patient, who is required to keep himself warmly clad when out of doors; but, to turn COWS out of warm barn on a cold winters morning to drink about two pails of ice water and then stand around or lie down on the snow or ice or cold, wet ground for exposure that would naturally result in a shock to the nervous system of the COW and a shrinkage of the flow of milk. Such treatment of COWS will
 not, in itself, produce tuberculosis any
 more than ploughing and narrowing
 piece of ground will in itself produce a crop of corn, but if the disease germs are present in the COW, such treatment
 would almost inevitably tend to pro-
 duce shock to her vital energies and
 consequent lowering of her vitality,
 which would have the same effect in
 development of the disease as the cul-
 tivation of the ground does when the
 seeds of corn are present in the soil.
 On the question, "Should COWS occu-
 py their own stalls?" tho commission
 CT says: In stabling cows it is to be should have her own stall and that she should be taught to occupy 1t every night. There are several good reasons why this should be so. The COWS will quickly learn to take their right places
 as 'There is no place like home" to the COW, so that this practice results
 in saving of time in shutting up the
 cows Again, the intelligent herds
 man feeds hts COWS according to the | amount of milk they yield and the period of their lactation. He can do this much more rapidly and satisfac- torily if he knows just where each COW | stands without looking at the COW. It | Is, however, chiefly from sanitary standpoint that this practice is most strongly urged. Where COWS are per
 mitted to occupy any stall in the barn l at their own convenience or whim, 1t | is an easy matter for a tuberculous COW to infect every manager in the sta ble and in this way cause the disease | to rapidly spread to every COW in the herd. Tuberculosis is an insidioui | disease, frequently existing even ir the advanced stages without marked
 or pronounced symptoms by means o1 l which it's presence in the animal car l be surely diagnosed by physical ex animation,

 Returned from Michigan, Robin had had his fill of wandering and was bent on some permanent location and steady work. The young are eager to see and know the unknown, to test the untried, but, soon or late, find that truest happiness is not in change, but in cheerful, patient, faithful doing and abiding. The shoulder quickly fits itself to the burden and, if one can not neighbor his own community, his own circle, there is small likelihood of success in different environment.

 Robin had been named for his moth- er'S father, who left money to help him through college,-if he studied for the ministry. He began writing quainted with many of it's mechanical details, from setting to making-up,a and was finally given charge of the ad-set- ting and makeup of the weekly edt- tion, employing his extra time in brushing up Latin and other branches necessary to resume the broken thread of his education. That is a mistake. Alllife, whether work, play or study, is education, and what Robin did was to enter the city school, 8 bewhiSkered man among fiedelings, in order to pre- pare himself for study at a Southern. college. A friend of Rev Richard South had given to this college largely, and it was proposed that Robin go | there and be helped by the scholarship which it was his to bestow upon some | student. Perhaps 1t was as we'll that Robin left Aquaton just then, for he was about trying to fail in love again, this time with girl younger than himself and of inferior education in many ways. Out of sight proved to
 be out of mind in this case, when ill., | written letters on her part gave place
 to personal charm. Inability to spell | and faulty grammar may not be an in l fallible index of character, but, in these days or school privilege, they certainly l betray lack of application and failure
 to appreciate and derive benefit from
 the stores of knowledge bequeathed by the past. Each generation is not | ,lnlV the heir. but the very product Of | general tions gone before, and it is az | idle as foolish to ignore this fact. 'tOn
 ly small minds mistake their relations l with the universe and confuse theil finite powers with omniscience."
