THE SOLDIERS PERSONAL APP.
PEARANCE.

One of the most important phases of
military discipline is that of the per-
sOnal appearance.
A soldier in camp or in barracks
should keep himself 'spick and spaE. He
should scrub himself in daily shower,
IL showers are available, shave infal-
fbly, keep his uniform brushed and
his shoes polished.
Naturally drill and other military
duties, even in camp, do not enable him
to remain altogether immaculate, for
that would interfere with his work.
But, while the day Of the ''kid-glove
soldier" is passed, the constant atten-
ton to cleanliness will overcome the
CRIME which attaches to the daily rou-
tine and will give the general appear
ance of neatness. Dust which has set
tied on the uniform in drill has a
look which differs distinctly from a
large and indelible stain. In the same
way, faces and hands which are nor
mally clean reveal this fact even if
temporarily soiled; whereas, faces and
hands which are habitually dirty cam
not give wholly clean impression
even when washed.
The habit of cleanliness in the SOL
der will become second nature, if he
Is not an instructive sloven. He will
find that he is not comfortable in the
regimental street or on the parade
ground unless he is neat-wholly aside
from the fact that his officers will re-
auire it.. He will soon realize that an
unshaved man in camp looks even
worse than in an office-that a man
whose hair is not kept closely cut has
a more ragged appearance in uni
form than in civilians clothes.
When outside Of quarters or his inn
mediate company street, the soldiers
uniform should at all times be but
toned. The buttons are part of the
uniform, and as such, should be cor
rectly utilized. For a man to go out
into the regimental street or parade
ground with his coat hanging open and
his hands in his pockets, or even one
or two buttons unfastened, like front
teeth missing from the mouth, is mex
cusable. A man should go forth only
when scrupulously buttoned and shoes
securely tied, leggings correctly adj
justed and fastened. His hands should
fall at his side in any easy, soldierly
fashion, and he should not disarrange

Artists Strange Pets.

Rossetti's garden at Queens House,
Cheyne Walk, London, harbOred some
strange pets during the poet-painter's
tenancy. Among these was white
bull bought, as one of his friends re-
lates, because it had eyes like Mrs.
William Morris. "Rossetti tethered it
on the lawn of his home in Chelsea.
Soon there was no lawn left-only the
bull. He invited people to meet it,
and heaped favors on it until it kicked
everything to pieces, when he reluc-
family got rid of it." Subsequently deni-
