Officers are not appointed through

Officers are not appointed through
civil authorities but are selected for
merit and by examination after they
have completed the special courses
offered by the government by those
who desire commissions. The officers
give more time to their studies than
the privaleI, and they assemble quite
often for war games and tactical
discussions.
That is all there is to the system.
There is no standing army, no mill.

Education Above Station

The east is deserving of credit for
at least one attainment-th produc-
tion of mental slush.
The latest consignment comes from
the overweight think-tank of a
Washington professor" This ex-
ponent of modern methods in educa-
tion tells the world that it must call
halt on the idea of educating our
children above their station in life
AS though an American citizen
recognized any station in life as a
limit for his aspirations.
This highly educated gentleman,
speaking before gathering of other
equally well educated gentlemen at
Boston the hub of American culture
believes that the son Of brick
layer should be kept down to the
level of brick layer, and the daugh-
ter of washer-woman should be
given to understand that her place in
!ife's program calls for steady stu-
alton over the washtub.
A touch of higher education, &C
cording to this brilliant eXpounder of
doctrines educational, spoils a child
for its proper station in life.
The gentleman who is superintend-
enl of the federal hospital for the in
sane at the national capital, evident.
ly is himself victim of too much
education. He has been spoiled for
his or her proper station in life

gained and in acquiring new train
Ing. That is all, There is no rigid
system that compels him to give up
from two to five of his most fruitful
years with the colors. It's a free
mans system, conducted by free men.
The system begins in the public
schools, where every boy is compelled
to take athletic training. Several
hours a week are spent In teaching
the youngsters military subjects, so
that when the boy reaches his TWEEN
tieth hear he is a piece of fine tim
ber His body is strong, and he has
some idea of what discipline means.
Every boy gets the preliminary train
ing, even in the private schools.
At 20 he enlists in the "elite" or
first line. For two or three months
he receives intensive training. They
make real work Of it while it lasts,
but they are over with it quickly.
The rudiments of military life are
drilled into the new recruits without
any waste of time or money.
Soldiers and corporals, after the
first year, go back every year for two
weeks training until they are 81
years old, and then they are through,
except for final training trip when
they enter the second line division,
which begins at the age of 30. Non
commissioned officers and subalterns
go back every year during their first
line service and once every four years
in the second line service which lasts
until the age of Al. From Al to 4S
years is the age division for the third
line.

Nobody Attacks the Swiss

Switzerland is haven of peace in a
weary waste of war. Why? Charles
H. Grasty answered the question
Wednesday in his address before the
City Club. 1t is because Switzerland,
a valorous David, inspires respect
from the Goliaths that surround the
little republic. And Switzerland has
said that it would defend its neutral
ity with all its strength.
Switzerland is the best equipped
for tighting-size considerable all
the nations. Every man from 20 to
4S is a trained soldier. Those who
are unable physically to qualify are
formed into trade and professional
groups and are available for supple
menting the work of the army.
The system is compulsory, but it is
also voluntary system, since it was
Installed by the direct vote. The
people Of Switzerland decided that
they were free citizens of free re-
public, and that 1t was their duty to
keep it a, free country. Every man
is more than willing to do his bit,
and the service is held in such high
respect that bankrupts and criminals
are denied the privilege of taking
part in the national defense. In
stead they are required to pay spe-
cial tax in lieu of service.
1t is surprising how little time
each man is required to contribute
to the army. He enlists at 20, and
that year he spends from sixty to
ninety days in training, depending on
the branch of service to which he is
attached.
From then on he spends two weeks

Improving Poultry stock.

The local poultry association, espe-
cially II 1t holds an annual show, is
a potent force for improving the poul-
try stock kept in a community. Every
raiser of poultry should encourage the
formation of these associations, az
through them he may secure informa-
tion of direct value to him as well as

enlarged market for his breeding
stock.

And smile would have helped him to battle it through

Or did you just let him go with his load?
DO you know what it means to be losing the fight
When lift just in time might set everything right?
Do you know what it means just clasp of a hand
When mans borne about all any ought to stand?
Did you ask what it was-why the quivering lip?
Why the half suppressed Sob and the scadng drip?
Were you brother of his when the time of need?
Did you offer to help him didn't you heed?

JAPANESE TREE A WONDER
Puts Forth immense Orange Which
Develops Into the Shape Of the
Human Hand.

In Japan grows an immense orange
the shape of the human hand, from
which fact 1t derives its lame, "the
five-fingered orange" Some of the
largest OF the matured fruit measure
eleven inches from stem to tip of the
middle finger. Naturalists say the
fruit has been developed into it's pres
ent shape by mimicry aiming at self
protection.
AS If further to protect it's singu,
larIy delicious fruit, the trees twisted
gnarled branches are SO entangled
with the trunk that it is impossible
to find two inches Of stem growing in
the same direction The tree seldom
grows more than six feet high and
sends out a multitude of long, hard
needle-pointed thorns.
When in bloom this ugly tree is an
Immense bouquet Of the most beauti'
full and fragrant blossoms, like those
OF the ordinary orange tree and par
ticularly lovely pink blush color.
The flowers, which make their ap-
pearance in June or July. grow in
clusters of two or three blossoms. The
fruit is lemon-yellow, growing green
ish towards the stem.

Lepers Allowed to Mate.

The Russian Medical council has
given permission for lepers to marry
with each other, but not with healthy
mates. The Lancet remarks that as
the birth-rate among lepers is very
low, the percentage of infant leprosy
Is cnly about five per cent. But. It
adds, 'it is imperative that arrange
ments be made in advance. and the
reasons carefully explained before
hand 10 the leprous parents, to re-
move at once any newly born infant
from the custody Of its mother to
distant home provided by the authori'
ties where the child may grow up
without danger of acquiring the infec'
ton from its maternal parent"
For leprosy is not believed to be
hereditary. but the intimate contact
between a mother and nursing baby
Is the surest means of conveying the
infection.

MoROsE MAN LOSES FRIENDS
Serious Error Is the Habit Of Taking
offense When Nothing Of the
Kind Is Intended.

Some persons are always in an un-
comfortable frame of mind II not down
right unhappy. And this even when
there is not any real cause for unhap-
piness or grief, but when small Of
fenses or negligences to which no
second thought should he given are
magniied. The more one allows his
mind to dwell on these things, the
greater he finds them. He views him
self as being always in the right, and
recounts the favors he has bestowed.
These so occupy him he forgets favors
received. With this disposition, man
seldom stops at nursing his wrong
thoughts in his own mind He talks
OF them to others, presenting the char
acter OF one with whom he is offended
In wrong light, thereby doing an in
Justice. He is SO filed with bitter
thought OF his grievance that his
gloomy face and dismal tone cast
gloom on those about him. He be-
comes so morose that his company Is
dsagreeable. Others, observing his
feel that it may be their turn next to
irritate him. One cannot enjoy free
dom of conversation when someone is
watching for sights. How much bet
ter II would be in the first place to
say, "IIe meant no offense." or per
haps he has troubles of his own that
make him negligent" Better first look
fairly at ones own conduct and see
II every word or every act will bear
being weighed III the balance. Life
Is too short and too valuable to be
wasted in useless dissension. Think
the best and speak the best you can
OF everyone. You viii be the better
for 1t and the happier.-Milwaukee
