MOORISH SOLDIERS.
Their Methods In Battle and Their
System Of Signals.

System Of Signals.
At lighting on horseback the Moors
are adopts and extremely mobile But
they are incorrigibiy lazy and seldom
Indulge in night attack. When they
attack In force the horsemen usually
give lift to the foot soldiers who ac-
company them or allow them to run
alongside and hold Oh to stirrup iron
The mounted men then make charge,
wheel round aud retire and make way
for the footlnen, who crawl along the
ground. almost Invisible and who rise

Ing distance OF the enemy. As rule,
the Rifiians prefer to lure detached
parties into an ambush or detile aud
thus inhict heavy loss upon them. The

aud their firing. being from the sad
die, Is very inaccurate. Should the ad-
vance Of the white troops be slow or
hesitatiDg the Moors effect bold
combination between horsemen and
fOOtmen and generally succeed IN in
fiicting heavy. losses on their enemy
The prime tactics of the Moors are to
delay the advance of an enemy as
much as possible by mounted rifle tire
until they can discern Its extent and
direction aud subsequently to try en-
veloping the advancing force. The
tribes also indulge In snlping, but not
to very great extent. and they also
fight individually. They do not neglect
opportunities for stratagem aud can
effect some very clever ruses. They
are also guilty of abusing the services
Of the white flag In action.
The Moorish intelligence system is
an excellent one, and the tribes are
seldom without information regarding
the movements Of an enemy. They
have also an excellent system of sig
mailing at night by means of small fires
dotted about the hills and ravines.

STUDY OF JAPANESE.
pifieuitiss Of the Spoken and the
Written Language.

piMeuittss OF the Spoken and the
Written Language.
Army officers who are thinking of
taking up the study of japanese should
pause before they attempt the task
and ask themselves whether they have
q peculiarly strong linguistic aptitude
Even the japanese flnd their language
very difficult. The Anglo Sa xons who
gr0wl about the difficulties of our SPELL
ing and favor the simpited system
would never live IL they had to under-
90 what the subject of the mikado suf-
fers in the matter of language.
1t takes japanese child seven years
to learn the essential parts of the
alphabet There are PA signs which
serve the same purpose as initial let
ters In English dictionaries. Then
after you have tracked down In one of
these PAL signs some part of the char
acter for which you are about to
make search you still have veri-
table darkest Africa ahead of you.
The pompoX first personai pronoun is
avoided wleuever 1t is possible in
speaking japanese. II it must be
used 1t 10 introduced casually, but gen.
orally the abstract noun "seltishness"
serves in its stead.
For example. u Japanese would not
say. Il don't drink wine," but wine
don't drink" or, If this Is not clear
enough. "Selfshness wine don't drink"
Reference to your possessions must be
deprecatory. Thus If man wishes to
point out bis own residence he says,
That miserable house." which. Of
course. could refer to no other than his
own.
On the other hand. "That beautiful
house" would easily identify the house
as belonging to some one else. More
over. any one who wishes to learn
Japanese must be prepared to learn
two languages-the written and the
spoken. The one differs SO materially
from the other that If japanese is
reading a book or newspaper and
wishes to do SO aloud it becomes nee

The Earwiq.

asserted that 1t belongs to the beetles.
Of which 1t Is an "aberrant type oth
ers that 1t is connected with the grass
hoppers. Even about its very name
there has been endless discussion.
Some have thought the name. earwig
Is the result of the creatures supposed
habit of getting into the ears, while
others are equally certain that 1t is
derived from the original name. which
they say was carving. from the fact
that the wing when spread resembles
the human ear. At all events, one
thing is certain-the earwig as we
know It now is a survival of an early
type Of which almost every other mem
ber has become extinct. ...

DREAM INSPIRATION.
intellectual Achievements Born Of
Visions In Sleep.

Visions In Sleep.
Ii Is well known. says II. Addington
Bruce 10 Success Magazine, that
dreams have stimulated men to re-
markable intellectual achievements
and have even supplied the material
for these achievements. Thus Cole
ridge composed "Knblai Khan" In q
dream. tTartinl got his Devils So
nata" from a dream in which the devil
appeared and challenged him TO q mu-
sical Competition. II was a dream that
gave voltsire the first canto Of his
"Henriade." and Dante's "Divina Com
media" Is likewise said to have been
inspired by dream.
Many novelisis on their own admis.
sion have obtained the plots for some
of their best works from materials
provided IN dreams. particularly
impressive instance is that OF Robert
Louis Stevenson. whose "Chapter on
Dreams in his book Across the
Plains" should be read by all who
would learn what dreams can do for a
man intellectually The solution Of
battling mathematical problems. the
ideas necessary to complete some 10.
vention. have been supplied by dreams
Occasionally the dreamer has been
known TO rise In his sleep and jot
down the information thus acquired
In such cases be usually forgets all
about the helpful dream and on awak-
ing is greatly surprised at finding the
that-as with the visions so potently
influencing health-it is possible for
dreams to aid a man in an intellectual
way without his being consciously
aware of them.
