There was a memorable day in the his
tory Of the Crimean war when a brigade of
British officers received tho order to ap-
pear on parade without stocks. This simple
order threw the old-fashiohed officers into
a state of perturbation, for it was a historic
fact that stocks had been worn by the army
at Waterloo and ever since. DESPITE their
patriotic protests, however. the stupid and
uncomfortable stocks We're at last abol-
ished. We have Travelled a long way since
the Crimean war. but it has taken us more
than fifty years to abolish a practice as un-
and absurd as that Of strangling
the soldier In a stiff neckpiece. The pro-
truding chest, which we have been at pains
to cultivate in two generations of recruits.
is no more in favor. The spirit Of Frederick
the Great dies hard The pouter-pigeon
chest, the ramrod spine and the inhexibie
neck were introduced into European armies
by the great Prussian soldier king and even
yet there are veterans who regard them as
the marks Of the true soldier.
Before we congratulate ourselves on this
great victory for army reform we may re-
fleet with advantage on some yet unextinct
relics Of the martinez school The costume
and bearing Of the men of the Grenadiet
have apparently been copied from
q more antique model than the army IF
the Great-to-wit, the wood char
aeters Of the Noah's ark type. Now. how
ever. the 1at-hacked ideal is going. and We
are all for flexibility. The soldier Of the
will throw out. not his chest. but.
perhaps, his abdomen, and instead Of walk
Ing with stiff, jerky movements. he win
writhe. We are to have no more hard
muscles, but are to aim at smooth
and supple limbs. The natural is to be the
new order Of the day. and possibly we may
see the short, soldierly hair Of the private |
give place to the flowing locks Of the pro-
muslcian.-London Express.

The cities Of the United States are the

take much Interest In reckoning IN their
population from time to time. Every tenth

tial increase. At this time there is a gen
eral protest against the calculations Of the
government census bureau. and they are In
truth far $40 mechanical AveraginE the
growth Of American cities between 1890 and
1900, and adding the annual Increase to the
