animals are black, others neutral in

CASTE IN THE ARMY.
Civilians Find Il Difficult to Under
stand military Discipline.


stand Military Discipline.
One thing not commonly understood
among civilians is the completeness of
the barrier which divides army ON.
GERS from the soldiers. or. as they are
more generally called. the "men." 1t
Is always vastly amusing to those IA
miliar With the service TO observe the
errors IN this respect frequently made
By the novelist and the playwright.
Personal qualifications have nothing
whatever TO do with the matter. A
soldier may be a gentleman who has
enlisted with the purpose OF obtaining
a commission, yet there can be be-
tween him and bis officers no social
intercourse Of any sort, and severe
penalties would be inflicted upon the
officer who would attempt to disregard
the rule.
It might seem that this enforcement
Of caste sense would result in much
hard feeling on the side Of the men.
Such, however, is not actually the
case. It is taken for granted and rec.
ognized as conducive to good order
and military discipline" 1t Is a mill.

description Of the table habits OF the

Young princes and counts served the
repast. There were Invariably four
courses OF SIX dishes. The emperor
had no one to carve for him. He be.

retired to window recess, where any
body could approach him with a petit

The bread Of the Afghan caravan
was cooked by heating small round
cobbIestones IN the hre and then polk

inch thick about them. The balls thus
formed were again thrown into the
fire, to be poked out again when cook.

ties the grit and ashes would have
seemed uncomfortable.

The opponents OF the Reno fight NOV
ing pictures having met with such sue
cess in their efforts, others are trying to
shut out other pictures The Spring
field Republican comments on one effort
along this line: Moving pictures are
comparatively new and consequently
their status is not yet definitely settled.
For instance, the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton railroad management has
asked the mayor Of Hamilton, O, to
suppress pictures Of the recent wreck at
Midtown, o., taken an hour after tne
accident occurred. The claim is made
that the pictures are morbid and dis
tressing in character. They are doubt.
less distressing enough to the railroad
management, but It smaeks Of repression
to have this sort Of suppression carried
to too great an extent. Any reporter
can vouch that newspaper accounts Of
railroad accidents are distressing to rail-
road men, and they certainly do not
make pleasant reading, accompanied. as
they often are, by Illustrations. Yet
what laugh would go up were the pro-
posal made to prohibit such accounts in
newspapers. Most moving pictures are
silly and many harmful, but those Of
actual happenings have some instructive
value, and the just movement against
the Reno films should not be allowed to
