kitehsner's Unofficial Methods In the
khartum Campaign.
1t was in the Khartum campaign
that Lord Kitcheners adherence OF
red tape was first impressed upon
whom 1t concerned. A certain general,
who may be called Fussyman. insisted
upon Issuing daily order with all due
forms and ceremonies. So importunate
was he that in sheer weariness Kitch
ener at last dictated an order. Buoyed
up by blissful sense of Importance,
Fussyman hurried of to have 1t duly
copied. registered. duplicated. sealed,
signed and delivered in the good old
style. Meanwhile Kitchener strolling
out accidentally met Broadwood. bis
cavalry commander.
"Oh. Broadwood," exclaimed Kitch.
ener In his softest drawl, will you
kindly take four squadrons and cou,
pie Of guns and push on forty miles to
clear up the situation, and start In half
an hourT"
"very good. SIR"
As the cavalry was 1ingling out Of
camp Fussyman came out of his tent
with the order of the day. Upon find
ing that Broadwood's orders were
totally different from the formal YER
sion intrusted to him by the command

HEALTH GIVING OZONE.
Its Process Of Formation and the Way
II Attacks Microbes.

Its Process Of Formation and the Way
It Attacks Microbes.
The pungent bractng effect Of noun
tain air Is largely due to the pressure
OF great quantities Of ozone. Every
one knows this and learnedly talks
about the ozone In the air. but very
few people have the slightest idea Of
what they are really talking about
Nature makes ozone by allowing the
ultra violet rays Of the sun to act upon
the oxygen Of the air. Briefly, ozone is
Z particularly active form Of oxygen.
A molecule Of oxygen is composed Of
two atoms. whereas ozone II composed
of three.
As only two elements of oxygen can
exist together. the addition Of the third
sets up disturbance. which causes 1t
to detach itself from the other two.
Being thus detached. the third atom.
which is now ozone. wandering around
by itself, gravitates with great sure
ness and rapidity to any bit Of foul air
or any microbe which may be lurking
In the vicinity. for the attraction be-
tween ozone and microbes is irresist
ible.
Like most fatal passions. the out
come is tragic. for the ozone burns up
the microbes as soon as they touch
each other. This Is the reason that
ozone is health giving; 1t may be truly
said to eat up disease.-Detroit Free
Press.

SIKH SOLDIERS.

Some Of Them Are Trained to War Al.

rupees and annas month and at the
age of sixteen enter the regular army.
The Sikh soldiers are most interest.
ing and remarkable part of the British
army in India. Their conduct in from.
tier engagements has distinguished
them as brave. steady and devoted to
their English officers. Yet about ifty
years ago these well ordered soldiers
were fanaticai savages. who in their
mad uprisings shook the power of
Great Britain. Once conquered they
accepted British rule and were trained
and disciplined into well equipped
army Of 10000 soldiers. They formed
part Of the force that subdued the mu.
tiny, The Hodson's horse troops. which
helped capture Delhi. were composed
Of Sikhs whose devoted service TO their
leader made them famous.
Their scarlet sashes and turbans
gained them the name of "Fiamingos."
