Line and Staff Officers.

Broadly speaking, the distinction be-
tween a line officer and a staff officer
is that between the fighter and the
nonfighter. The staff officer has non
military duties. He may, for example,
be member of the medical corps, an
instructor at military institute or
have charge of some administrative
department Of the army or navy. The
word is also used for those men at
tached to the staff of the commander
in chief A line officer is literally that;
he is the man in the field or ON bat
tleship to do the actual fighting.-New

TITLES IN RUSSIA.
Where There Are Only Two Classss,
Mobiles and Peasants.

Contrary TO the laws existing in Eng
land and Sweden. in Russia when a
lady belonging to titled famlly mar
ries a Russian gentleman without
title she takes her husbands name en-
t.rely, and the only right lefttto her of
her former title is to write on ner Vlslt-
Ing cards and official papers MIS-. 80
and-so. born Princess, Countess or Bar
oness So-and-so." Her children are
called by their fathers name. There
are only few exceptions to this rule.
In Russia no middle class or gentry
are known. There are only mobiles and
peasants. The ear, however, grants
sometimes for special merit the right
to be styled a nobleman and also for
the same reason the titles OF count and
baron and occasionally that of prince.
All those merchants who have kept
their firms always tlourish1ng for
hundred years have the right to receive
the foreign title of baron. This law
was made by Peter the Great over 200
years ago, but the merchants very sell
dom accept this title and generally de-
cline the privilege.
In former days when the peasants
were still slaves they had no family
names, but were called by their ia
theirs Christian name. Peters son was
called son of Peter-in Russian Petrov;
so also Smirnov-Simon's son; 1vanov
-Ivan's John son, and so on. When
slavery was abolished and the emanci-
patton proclaimed by the Emperor AL
eXander II. they all kept these names.
Since then many of them have received
the right to belong to the class of no
bles.
The Russian clergy, belonging to the
class of peasants, for it very seldom
happens that mobiles become priests.
have special family names. Their
names mean always feast day or a
precious stone or something connected
with the church. In former days the
clergy was class apart, and a son of
a clergyman was bound to be clergy
man, and when they first entered the
church they chose name for them
selves,-LOndon Answers.

ROCK OF GIBRALTAR.
The "key of the Mediterranean Has
Had Stormy History.

England has been i'll possession of the
1l04 From that time to this it has
been a crown colony under the admin
istration of q governor. By reason of
its important strategical position it is
called the key of the Mediterranean"
Gibraltar has had a stormy history
In Ill the rock was taken by the Arab
chief Tarik, who called it Jebel-al-Tar-
TX (Hill of TariB) and built a fortress
on the promontory. Part of these ruins
is Still eXtant. In 1909 it was taken
by the Castilians, only to be recaptured
by the Moors in 1888. 1t was held by
them until 14G2. Following the TAX
ing and sacking of Gibraltar in 1910
by Barbarossa, extensive military
works were built there by order of
Charles Y. So :.
In 1904 the promonotory was cap
tured by a combined force under Sir
George Rookie and the Prince of Hesse-
Darmstadt fighting for the Archduke
Charles Of Austria. The moment it fell
into their hands the British admiral
threw off the alliance with the Aus
TRANS and took complete possession of
the works.
British possession since that time has
been unbroken, although it was under
a Spanish siege for nearly three years
and eight months, beginning in 1879.

The binding radiance of the day,
The silent charm of dark.
The love song of the lark?
Or yonder redwoods stately height
That oaks majestic SPELL
Nor less, the blue gums quaint appeal,
Weird, lonely sentinel
Frail language halts the spirit shrinks!
Who seeks the futile role!
For none can sing as none may paint,
The beauty of the whole.
Abashed deep awed. and all amaze
We pray the gift o sense
The Great Creative Plan.
