The British Soldier.
From tAe Review Of Reviews.


Toward the close OF the first phass
OF the combat of nations. the quick
crossing of the channel brought the
student of peoples at war face to face
with contrasts; conditions in England
appeared to be the reverse OF those In
France and Germany.
A picturesque circumstance at once
compelled sharp comparison. London
swarmed with soldiers. Eor every SOL
der seen ON the streets OF Paris or
Berlin. one might count at least 100
in the British capital. No restaurant
was without several military custom
ers. Khaki-clad privateS were seen
Etrolling In all public parks where the
people Of London take the air. The
music halls were never without q bevy
OF officers. "
Too much cannot be said in praise
Of the physical appearance of the ma
Jority OF these British soldiers. Per-
haps one-half of the thousands Of these
volunteer personally studied, were SUI
perb examples OF vigorous and robust
manhood. The Scotch especially were
magnificent specimens. Superior to
all in their physical fitness, vitality,
and bearing. Wee the soldiers and Off
GERS from Canada. although COMPARE
lively few Of these were seen; most of
them, Ii was said, were not at Alder
shot or I'm London. %.
At rough estimate, one would say
that at least two-thirds, perhaps three
fourths. of all the soldiers and officers
observed in England during March of
1915 were excellent military material,
this includes the one-half of tho
whole who are exceptionally fine look
ing men. The remainder were inferior
In stature and all other evidences of
physical strength.
1t was frankly admitted by well-in-
formed Englishmen deeply interested in
the war that the officers were not wen
trained. You couldn't expect anything
else. could your" said ono OF these.
They have not had six months train
ing. But" he added. with cheerful OPP
tmism, you will find that they will
turn out all right"

CHILDREN OVER PLAY
AS WELL AS OVER WORK
From the PhiladeIphia. Ledger.

"n1l9 we are considering Lne over
worked child and attempting to relieve
his condition by legislation we should
not forget the overplayed child.
The number Of children employed In
factories in small in comparison with
those occupying themselves in school
and at play. But every physician and
many mothers know that the strain of
the amusements Of their children is de-
stroying their nervous and physical
stamina as effectively as though they
had to spend eight or nine or 10 hours
In a mill.
The young undeveloped body is over
strained. At night, after a day of school
and play, the boy or girl is irritable.
There is pickering between brothers
and sisters. A remark that would have
excited no comment in the morning
precipitates a quarrel and the parents
find 1t difficult to keep the peace. The
day ends, too ofen, in unpleasantness
where II should close In calm compan-
ionship.
The 7-year-old boy. allowed to play
at will in the company OF other children
who race up and down the street or
over the lawn, may strike his little
brother when they come together in
the house without being vicious. His
whole system is upset and 1t cannot
recover its equilibrium without long
rest. II he does not get sleep enough
at night he wakes In the morning, Still
on edge, and begins the day with more
flinRings Of his arms and apparently
unreasonable tantrums.
But the same children, when kept
quietly at home, and free from undue
excitement behave like different crea-
lures. They are affectionate, amenable
to reason and harmonious. Every
mother is familiar with the transfer
nation which such q day makes in her
children and few Of them understand
the reason for It But they all wonder
why the young boys and girls cannot
behave every day as they behave on
their days of unruffled nerves when the
strain on them has not been greater
than they could bear.
1t is possible to rescue the overworke ed
child by legislation limiting the num-
Der of hours during which he can be
EMPLOYED. But little short OF q social
revolution will lift the overplayed child
from the conditions which are retard-
ing his DEVELOPMENT and planting the
seeds OF greater weakness In the next
generation.

Big GUM Of q Century Ago.
From Dundee Advertiser

FROM Dunuee advertiser.
1t would scarcely appear feasible that a
shot weighing 500 pounds could have been
employed 100 years ago, yet the Turks,
who used The largest cannon in Europe,
actually used guns of such caliber at
that time When Sir J. Duckworth
passed the Dardanelles to attack Com
stantinople in 1907 his fleet was dread
fully shattered by the immense shot
thrown from the batteries. The Royal
George, Of no guns, was nearly sunk
by only one shot, while another cut the
pain mast Of the Windsor Castle almost
In two; a single shot knocked two ports
Of the Thunderer into one; the Repuiss
ga guns) had It's wheel shot away and
men killed and wounded by q shot,
the ship being saved only by the most
wonderful exertions. The heaviest shot
which struck our ships was OF granite,
weighing 500 pounds, and was 26 inches
In diameter One such shot, to the
astonishment of the tars, stove In the
whole starboard bow OF the Active, and,
having crushed this immense mass OF
timber, the shot rolled ponderously aft,
the crew standing aghast at the singular
spectacle. One OF these guns was east
In brass. IT was composed of tive parts,
Its breach resting against massive stone
work, and the difficulty of the charging
such monster would not ALLOW of itn
being fired moro than once.
