desertion less frequent; the people would
become more accustomed to the uniform
and would learn to respect it. Moreover,
the sight of military exercises and maneu
vers, accompanied by music, would have
a tendency to bring about greater sym
pathy than now exist between the cltlsen
and the soldier, and which in turn would
act aa an Inducement for many young men
to join the army.
Making th army a school for general
instruction would In no way interefere with
the work of training the soldier. On the
contrary, thl work would be facilitated
through the greater interest manifested by
th man, feeling, as ha would, that some
thing is being, given him outside his mere
pay. The thought that he Is acquiring In
struction In useful branches, habits con
ducive to health, a useful course of physi
cal culture, with an opportunity of seeing
much of his own country and some of it
colonies, would be certain to awaken ln
him greater interest, which in turn would
make hi. instruction a a soldier more
easy. It Is only the man that is docile
to mental acquisition who can be disci
plined. Th young man more often needs
sympathy than suppression; th latter
usually engender "soldiering."
Men returning home after serving a term
ln the manner proposed, would spread th
liking for things military among those who
are In a position to profit by them and
be the mean of persuading young men to
try a short service ln the army, thu
enabling the government to secure re
cruit to fill the places of those whose en
listment have expired. This effect would
become more and more noticeable a. the
number of reserve soldiers Increases; th
system leads to its own development.
In creating this reserve force It will be
observed that no provision has been mad
for retaining the men for further service
In ths army. In Germany, and ln France,
a soldier on completing his training and
entering the reserve still belongs to the
army and Is liable at any moment to be
called again into active service. This could
not be done under our volunteer system of
raising armlea. The soldier on leaving th
army after his short term of service again
become entirely free. Hi services In case
of war can be obtained only as a volunteer,-or,
in extreme case, as a conscript
lke other of the population. Th ques
tion of these men volunteering a Rain may
be safely left to the men themselves. They
would no doubt be forthcoming like many
others ln case of war. As a recognition
of their greater value the governmont
could well afford to offer a special bounty
In order to secure their service. Th main
point I to have trained men In sufficient
number In the country.
Many are the Influence that would cause
men who have served a term In the army
to re-enlist In time of war. Public atten
tion would naturally turn toward them as
being the most qualified for taking a lead
ing part ln the defense, and this would
act as a powerful Influence ln determin
ing them to volunteer. Moreover, as their
number grows, they would no doubt form
associations, which would have the effect
of keeping tip a military spirit, not only
amoiiHT themselves, ' but also among their
neighbors. When sufficiently numerous
tuty might be oranlxed Into rkeleton mili
tary bodies and their officer, selected from
those qualified to hold commissions. Th
government could a well encourage asso-
- elation of reserves for wars to come as
It ha veteran for war that have been.
It would be hopeless to expect a radical
change In public sentiment under present
condition In regard to the manner of rais
ing armlea In cae of war. Until events

good can be done by spreading military
knowledge among the masses and every
mean should be employed to this end
without delay. The business man under
stand, that training i necessary for com
mercial pursuits, but he falls to compre
hend that It require, an apprenticeship in
order to become a soldier, and such ideas
prevail generally among other claase. of
the population. The problem of national
defense la thu Involved ln on of educa
tion of the publlo In regard to military
thing, which education may be accom
plished by creating a numerous trained
reserve and distributing the men among
the people.
The military power of a nation goes hand
In hand with the spread of public Instruc
tion. A numerous population and vast na
tional resource, are of little use In war if
the former does not possess the cultivated
intelligence to make the latter available.
A system of universal military training
has been on trial in Germany for over half
a century and Instead of being a load and
an impediment it has been found greatly
to facilitate the Industrial and general
development of the country. Its effect as
an educational -Institution I. now looked
upon by all classes of the people as bene
ficial. The present military , development In
Germany and In France 1 the outgrowth of
the experience of Invasion and of defeat.
In Germany, where the system of training
reserves has been carried to It highest
expression. Is found the lowest percentage
of Illiteracy of any other country.
Thl plan for creating a reserve require
consideration of the following:
L Limitation of enlistments to one term
only, except of such noncommissioned of
ficer who have acquired vested right from
length of service, and who may remain
as Instructors.
2. Enlistment of those only who have a
sufficient preliminary education to becomo
uaeful as soldiers.
3. Enlistment of young men between IS
and 25 years of age only.
4. That a system of education of all men
In the army be introduced.
6. That men be transferred from one
arm of the service to the other in ac
cordance with their aptitudes.

could feel her gaze, even though he made a
bluff at being Intensely Interested In his
paper. Pretty raw. It seemed to him, for a
woman deliberately to take the seat of a
total stranger and then sit there and laugh
at him because he wa such a mark.
Then the woman spoke to him. "Aren't
you going to talk to me?" ah asked.
Harohaw could stand her familiarity no
longer.
"Well, of all the -" He .topped right
there when he looked around and recog
nised her. It was his wife.
Crow 8telJeweIrr.
A mystery which haa for year baffled
the family of Alexander Vanderson and
the officials of the town of Rockport, Ky.,
was cleared up this week, and as a result
several servants against whom the finger
of suspicion had pointed have been com
pletely exonerated of theft and a pet crow
la known to be the guilty party.
For several years the Vanderson family
had been missing articles of Jewelry and
other valuables, but no tangible clue could
be obtained to warrant an arrest, and only
the discbarge of a servant wa. the out
come. Saturday, however. Mis. Margaret Van
derson, while sitting In her room, saw the
crow fly In the open window and light on
the dresser. Within a few minutes she
saw him fly out again with something
shining in his bill. This aroused her sus
picions, and ah notified her father, who
obtained a ladder and climbed to the neat
of th crow In a near-by tree. The nest
wa found to be a depository for all of the
missing articles of value, there being al
together thirty different articles which hal
been taken from the Vanderson horn and
also th home of some of th neighbors.

Bate amd HI Box.
X little box six inches wide, six inches
deep and twelve Inches long represents
twenty years' work by Peter Bates, a
farmer of Beaver county, Pennsylvania.
Thl I explained in part by the fact
that the box contains specimen of every
hard wood that grows within the range of
man's habitation. Another cause for th
many year of work 1 that Mr. Bate
only devoted his spare moment, and even
ing, to the tedious task.
Th box Is probably th moat remark
able thing that has ever been seen In this
country, or even in the world. It Is made
of 10,700 little wood block. Some are dia
mond shaped, but most are cubes of one
eighth of an Inch, while others that form
the various figures are of every design
imaginable.
Though no paint, stain or varnish wa.
used, the bcx carries almost every shade
and color. The dark wood, and light
wood, are .0 placed together a. to pro
duce an artlstlo effect. The sides are a.
smooth a. a window pane, which I. an
evtdence of the careful workmanship In
carving out these thousands of appar
ently Insignificant little blocks. They
are so arranged as to Indicate a checker
board on one side, a pile of blocks on the
other, and ln one end the block appear
upon first glance to be piled up promis
cuously and very uneven.
The top of the box wa. patterned after
th bottom of a cut glass dish. Tluei
vari-colored .tar. ar the attraclve
feature of thl portion. On th front of
th box ar emblem of the Odd Fellows
and Masonio orders, of which Mr. Bates 1
a member.
Mr. Bates Is 77 years old and finished his
task only a few weeks ago. When he be
gan th work it wa hi Intention to make
a collar box and present It to hi son.
Since It Is such a masterpiece of art It will
probably be placed on exhibition In some
Institution. Mr. Bate was for several year
chief engineer for the Allegheny Water
company. Abandoning that position he
purchased th farm where he has Cvod
ver since.

"Well, George, how goes It?" he said.
"Fair to mlddlln'." And he continued
to rub down a bay horse, while the other

for you sixteen years."
"Well, well," said the boss, thinking a
little guiltily of George's very low wage.
"And I suppose you are both pretty hlfchly
valued, Qiorge, eh?"
"H'm!", said George. "Both of us was
