Three Ilnnilred Thnnsand Men In Uniform All llio Year Around It Ii (lor anting llo.tjr Officered by White Men from England, Tho cver-lncrenslng prodigality with vhlch England is drafting upon her military resources, both at homo and abroad, makes it pertinent to recall So mind that British India nnd her vast population of nearly 400,000,000 nro practically kept In check by only 70,000 British troops. These troops usually servo ton years In India, nnd nro transferred from ono military sta tion to another every two years.

As ho stands in his uniform, n disciplined soldier In tho prlmo of health and strength, he is said to havo cost a paternal gov ernment tho sum of ?2,000 American money, and ho Is valued accordingly. His dally rations are carefully exam ined by medical experts, nnd his ono qunrt of nlo nnd ono ounco of rum nro Borved out to him with greatest regu larity. When tho exigencies of tho sorvlco permit he is sent in the "hot season" to tho mountains, where ho works on tho roads and gets n labor er's allowance besides his pay.

Tho biggest outdoor attractions at tho Indian mili tary stations nro tho comoterles, tho ono nt Pashawnr alone containing tho graves of 3,500 British soldiers. Tho full strength of Great Britain's Indian nrmy, in round numbers, approximates 300,000 men, of whom 230,000 nre native nnd 70,000 British soldiers. In nddl tlon to this military forco there aro about 20,000 enrolled European volun teers, nnd a natlvo police, officered by whlto men, nearly 200,000 strong. Every regiment is divided into ton companies, each of whom Is usunlly made up of a different nationality, such nB Goorkhas, Sikhs, Dogras, Pathans, Punjaubis, etc. It is owing to this precaution that n combination of forces for the purposo of mutiny becomes al most impossible. The Goorkhas and Sikhs, whoso loyalty Is rated tho high est, aro In some localities permitted to constitute entire regiments by them selves. Tho pay of tho Sepoy or native soldier is ?3.50 per month, with a gradual Increase after three years' good-conduct service. The ponslon sys tem is particularly liberal, and is real ly tho magnet which draws tho natlvo recruit. When a Sepoy soldier falls in action his wives and there arc four of them aro all pensioned, as well as their young children. As regards the artillery branch of tho Indian army, whlto men only nro employed, both ns commissioned offlcors and In tho ranks, and tho guns of all forts are entirely manned by Britons. Of tho natlvo soldiers the Goorkha Is the best, and many English experts believe that he is the best soldier in tho world. TOASTINO. THE QUEEN. liar Majesty Thus Honored by All not One of Her Regiment. There Is only ono regiment among nil thoso who swear fealty to Queen Victoria which docs not toast her ma jesty at mess. This is tho Seventh Fu siliers, and the regiment is extremely proud of its distinction in this respect. It Beems that upon ono occasion, in the long ngo, somo King of Englnnd wns dining with tho officers of tho regi ment, and said after dinner that tho loyalty of tho Soventh was sufficiently well assured without their drinking - tho sovereign's health. It Is a .curi ous fact tire origin of which Is not known that tho Queen's health, on shipboard Is drunk by tho ofllcors sitting, instead of standing, as is cus tomary elsewhere. Every night, In every ship which carries the flag of tho British 'empiro, her majesty is toasted by tho ofllcors. Of all her majesty's regiments, tho Welsh Fusiliers havo tho most curious army toast. It forms part of tho ceremony of tho dinner given annually on St. David's day. Af ter tho dinner, tho drum mnjor, ac companied by n goat, the mascot of tho fusiliers, bedecked with rosettes of red and bluo ribbon, marches around tho table, carrying a plato of leeks. Every officer or guest who has never eaten ono before Is obliged to do so, standing on his chair, with one foot on tho table, while tho drummers beat n roll behind his chntr. Ho Is then consider ed a true Welshman. All tho toasts aro coupled with tho namo of St. David. It Is In much tbiB way that tho toast with "Highland honors" is drunk. Each guest stands with ono foot on his chair, one on tho table, and the pipers a-plplng parado tho room. A Oond Reason, Mrs. Bronxborough Your cook loft you rather suddenly, didn't she?"

Just nt present they nro eating no candy, nnd nro doing breathless "stunts" under tho direction of their papa. Their trnlnlng continues every morning nt re hearsal on tho playhouso stage.

After this n long strip of felt an Inch thick Is stretched ncross tho stage, so that falls may not break young b o n o s. Alfredo, leaping to his fa ther's hnnds, bal ances himself, then turns n som ersault backward landing on anoth er man's shoul ders. "Bravo!" cries Iho father, en couragingly. Al fredo's bright fyes sparkle with delight. LEARNING Then tho "mechanic" bolt Is fastened cinch-wise around his waist, a "me chanic" ropo Is attached with a swivel on each side of It. For tho most difficult feat of all is tho pirouette somersault, In which the lithe little body turns swiftly In the air a somersault with fantastic mus cular variations. A year more of constant dally prac tice, and Alfredo will add another som ersault In midair to tho pirouette. His lungs are not in the least winded by tho exercise. Ho Is sorry that It hi Ruggle's turn. He amuses himself by THINGS SOME VALETS DO. One Rocks Ilia Master to Sleep, Another ISrenks In Ills 84-Inch Corset. Applying for a situation ns vnlct, a young fellow of 25 was, to say tho least, somewhat astounded after an Interview with the companlonloss gen tleman. In addition to the orthodox requirements, the latter requested that his servant should rock him to sleep after' dinner, a cushioned hammock stretching from wall to wall of his smoking room, being pointed out as his couch. While gently swinging the net, the valet would perfumo tho air by smoking scented cigarettes, leaving tho room noiselessly with tho first snore. Tho Japancso valet ot a much traveled gentleman was burdened with many and peculiar duties. Not only did ho dress and overlook his master's toilet, from no other hands would his master accept his dally cup of tea. An admirable artist, tho valet tattooed tho body of his master In all styles of fan ciful designs fans, umbrollas, scaly monsters In rainbow tints, executed with faithful minuteness. Ono adver tisement was to this effect: "Wanted, a young gentleman as valet, educated, re fined, etc., etc., and able to wear No. 5 shoos and 24-lnch corsets." This wear ing of the master's tight clothes to easo them of newness is a great trial to many valets. Few people care to entrust tho writing of their lovo-let-tors to others. Ono vnlot, however, pons sentiment to the dictation of his employer, the latter observing no em barrassment. Stray. Stories.

Ahout Ten Million Women Aro Exasper ated by It Dally. About 10,000,000 women aro exasper ated every day by men sitting on ta bles, says the Criterion. So far as 1 am aware, women do not pay for tho furniture, and It Is pone of their busi ness how It Is used. The hnblt of men sitting on tables had led to the Inven tion of tho cushioned billiard table and will no doubt ultimately result in other clever notions. At ono tlmo It was sup posed that men choso to sit on tables because they could get exorcise with out exertion by swinging their own legs and by kicking the legs of tho ta ble. Tho scientific fact Is that tablos are more magnetic than chairs. If three men walk Into a room- where there Is no woman, two of them will make for tho tablo naturally. Tho third ono will try two or three chairs and finally give up In despair-and Join tho others. Tho source of this mag netism Is tho friction that women cre ate by polish tables so frequently. Of course, women tay that they only pol ish tables because men sit on them and spoil them, but this Is Illogical and feminine. No really clever men sit on chairs. They use their chairs for Scop ing their papers nnd things on", also tholr feet. Chairs aro notoriously Im moral. You will notice that a well bred man, when ho finds himself los ing his tompor.Invarlably gets up from his chair and makes a direct lino for tho nearest table. This enables him to keep his temper and to argue rea sonably. ICyo rictnres. A good deal has recently been writ ten nbout "eye pictures," nnd lovers of novoUy have been making collections of photographs each showing a single cyo of somo friend. But nothing la new under tho sun, not even the latest of late fads. Long ago the Duke of Sussex developed a fancy for eyo pic tures. Tho camera wnsn't so ubiqui tous then ns now, and even If it had been, tho ducal eyebrows would have been elevated In scorn nt tho Idea of anything so common as a collection of photographs. Tho Duko employed tho most noted miniature palntor of his duy to paint tho eyes for his collection. Each cyo was painted on Ivory and set in n circle of pearls. A number of tho miniatures now belong to Queen Victoria, nnd the rest nro In private collections throughout Englnnd. Tho electrical display of tho Unltod States at tho Paris exposition will show the completo history of electrical engineering of the nineteenth century. COURAGE IN BATTLE. rHE INHERENT BRAVERY OF EVERY MAN. ndlvlduals Who nt lloraa Ara the Most I'eaeefal of Men llecoinn Demons In the Face ot an Armed JCnemy Storlea of Heroism. Among the millions of Citizens whose lives havo run along In poacoful channols and who havo never been urged by duty or inclination to forsake tho ordinary routlno of llfo for tho camp and battlefield there Is n senti ment of warm admiration and lovo fqr tho soldier who performs daring deeds In tlmo of war1. It matters not tho na tionality of tho warrior, or on which side our personal sympathy may bo placed, the announcement ofsomodnro dovll act of heroism calls forth our hearty applause. And why should It ba otherwise? It Is natural. It is tho strong heart that wins. Tho dashing blado or frco lando who with his llfo In his hands faces death calmly la to bo respected, for In most Instances really bravo men nro always truo men. Tho great majority of pcoplo who havo casually noted and dissected this universal npplauso for feats of mili tary prowess havo completely misun derstood tho real meaning. Tho per formance of a great tragedian may thrill us and bring forth our unstinted admiration, nn admiration Increased perhaps by tho knowlcdgo that wo our selves havo none of tho qualities ho possesses nnd that a century of train ing would not bring us an Inch closer to rivaling his wonderful genius. And not ono man In a hundred who has read tho stories of heroism that havo como from Cuba and tho Philippines, or later from South Africa, but places tho possibility of his ovor performing similar deeds Just as far nbovo him. Ho Is In error. Tho Inborn genius of dramatic flro Is tho property of tho favored few, but tho recklessness and courage of tho soldier on tho battlo fleld are simply an outcropping of the common horltago of mankind. At home, in a progressive community, a man may bo a merchant or n bank clerk, but, whatover his station, the environment of civilizing, influence Is strong upon him, and most of his chances for tho display of courage come to tho moral sldo of his nature. But out' In tho open, with most of the trammels cast off and tho enemy In front, with tho rlpplo ot tho colors about him, and, moro than all, the feeling that comes from companion ship in a common danger with many of his follows, It Is tho animal that gains supremacy. And man, being by nature a bravo and fearless animal the most fearless of all tho animal spe cies simply remains truo to his birth right and goes through tho ordeal in , tho natural way. What can bo tho de duction? There is only one. It Is that battle gallantry and batt.o bru tality, springing as thoy both do from tho same source, must necessarily- be allied. You cannot slip tho IcaBh of a bloodhound and. stop him half way to his scent. If any proof were needed to mako the fact of Inherent bravery and tho other thing certain, It Is to bo found in tho marvelous chango In face, manner and oven speech that comes to nearly every man whon he is engaged in battle. Thoso who have seen their fellows under such condi tions will havo no difficulty In calling to mind what this chango moans. Re fined men, and rough, uncultured mon, too, for that matter, with tho tendorost and most humane feelings, men who would shudder and turn sick at tho sight of a slight accident on their homo streets, havo boen frequently known to stand nnd deliberately watch the wrlthlngs nnd death agonies of their comrades who havo been hit and torn to pieces by bursting shells, aa It It were Iho commonest Bight In tho world. It may be urged that tho ex citement of being under flro would be sufficient reason for this callousness, hut such an explanation will not ac count for tho entlro subversion ot a man's wholo llfo training. Tho real reason Is that at such times it is tho animal nature that tnkes full nnd com plete possession ot tho human body. Tempering- ot Copper. The allegation that nnclcnt Egyp tians tcmporcd copper and bronzo to carry a razor edge 1b not borne out by Investigation, Thomaa Harper of Bellovuo, Pa., challenges any ono to produce n pleco of metal tempered by tho ancients that can bo moro than duplicated by any metal worker today.

This Is not tho only story believed for renturlea tending to bcllttlo tho man of today, to mako him the Inferior of his forefathers, which failed under the searchlight of Inquiry nnd sclonco. The ancients were children In mechanical knowledgo ns compared to tho people of today, and If thoro wns n demand for nny particular building or pleco ot work such aa was produced by tho an dents It could bo duplicated and Im proved on by tho skilled nrtlsana of tho nineteenth century.

PEAF CHILDREN LEARN MUSIO Interesting Experiment With a Sue restful Result nt Detroit. An Interesting work with deaf chil dren Is being dono under tho direction of tho superintendent of music In tho Dotrolt public schools. A class from which tho best results nro obtained consists of about six pupils. Tho children gather around a piano, rest ing their hands and In some cases tholr .arms upon tho Instrument. Soon after a pleco Is started the children will be gin to count In correct tlmo with tho music, catching the accontuatlon ot beata through tho vibration o'f tho wood. Occasionally a child would coom to progress beyond the mere re nponso to tlmo and count aloud with somo approximation to tho tune. When this fact was observed by tho teach er tho pupils wore told to ropeat the words "baby, baby," over and over and at the same time a lullaby waa played on tho piano, In a short tlmo It' was noticed that nearly nil tho chil dren with whom the oxporlment was tried Indicated tho air with moro or less distinctness. Still another experi ment wns tried by singing tho scale Jnto tho ear of a boy and playing It on tho piano. After a fow trials tho pupil was ablo to sound the notes as well as could many children with un impaired hearing. These tests seem to lndlcato that singing with somo degrco of accuracy may bo taught tho most doaf children. If such provos tho fact a new pleasure nnd a new educatlvo lnlluenco will como Into tholr lives. Buffalo Express, For lllnek Hres.

One of the Troubles IMiinters of the West Had to Contend With. "Ono sad evil wo had In early times, and wo havo It yet, only in n moro gi gantic way, waa that of Intomperanco," said an Indiana man. "Thoro was no beer, but whlBky straight, and whisky hot, and whisky cold, nnd it served two purposes besides making drunk. In tho summer it drove tho heat out and In tho winter It drovo tho cold out, but It didn't kill olthnnd ns It does now.
