THE NEW ARMY LAW.

ONE of the greatest reforms is the act which brings
about the coordination of the regular soldiers and

alton and enlistment Of its own
In the Mexican war General Scott lost whole regiments
simply because their terms had expired and they dlsap
peared from the service Under the new law militia reg
ments enlist in body and they will be in for three years
cor the war" They will maintain their separate exist
ance and will be recruited to make up losses and SO will
live as regiments with their hOnOrs and their record.
In the Federal service they will be under the control OF
the president who may dspace old officers for lnef-
cheney and appoint Provision is made for the trans
fer Of regular army officers to the militia and so the old
scandal of political generals" will be minimized.
Volunteers cannot be called for until the state militia
has gone to the front Volunteers for the state militia
may be called for in any regiment that has been depleted
by passage into the Federal service.
Many good things are expected from the law such as
obvating the payment of bountes, doing away with the
shortterm service and the creation Of superior esprit
de corps State militia officers become United States Of
ficers with all Of the attaching prestige and advantages
There may be other volunteer regiments such as we had
during the Spanish war; outside the state militia and
which would be United States soldiers with state con-
necon
At this time the regular service consists OF $4,000 men,
besides $1,000 in the coast artillery The paper strength
of the state militia or National Guard is about 10000
If both regulars and militia were brought up to full war

THE WISE LITTLE SQUIRRELS.

Miss Mary Owens of st. Joseph, Mo-.
has fed and petted the squirrels that
live in the trees in her yard until they
are quite tame. One Of them will eat
from her hand and come when she
calls. She feeds the squirrels nuts
cracked and placed in Il small box and
the box in Il tree.
She noticed that the bluejays were
eating the nuts before the squirrels
could get them. She had no objections
to feeding these birds, but she placed
food for them in another place and did
not want the squirrels to be defrauded
Of theirs. so she tried this novel plan
with success:
She brought the JON of nuts. as usual,
and, taking the tame squirrel on her
lap. showed him the nuts inside the
box. then closed the lid. She did this
twice. the squirrel watching keen and
alert. Then she oy,ned the box. fed
him one nut and closed it again. She
