The Poor Soldier Boy. At the time when the American and En- giishman returns from his vacation to once more engage in the duties of his profession or business, in the struggle for existence, as it were, the French, German, Austrian, Italian and Russian, to mention only the great nations, divides the meager savings to two parts, one to keep his family while he is away on military duty, the other to gugment the miserable stipend allowed him by the government during the period of service lasting six weeks. He then jcins the flash mob, all brass buttons and rattling its ostentatious patriotism, gabers, with French Bicyclists Chased by Cavalry. well-Grilled loyalty and inherent belief that it represents the nation. Through his en- forced absence from home his business may be ruined, he may lose his position, or, px haps, the chance of his Iife—who cares ‘On the continent the individual is reckoned first as a satellite to the boast of heraldry and the pomp of power; he must earn his whenever he finds himself off duty. The Terms of Service. ‘The terms of service in the armies of the triple and of the dual alliances are essen- tially the same, the Iability of every healthy man to enlist commencing with the completion of the seventeenth or cichteenth and ending with the forty-fifth or forty- sixth year, this period being divided be- tween service in the “linc,” reserve levy im mass, called “Levee en m: the French, and “Lanisturn™ by fer- mans.

The aspirants for military honors, be they Russians, Freach or Germans, are. So brought to understand the firet of solfiership, which entitles them to being mustered with the regulars, ‘within three or four months of their having entered the ranks. They then learn to be- come useful members of companies. squad- Fons, or batteries; exercises in more extend- ed formations, battalions, regiments and di- Mistons, the latter composed of different arms, follow, until finally the fall mancu- ‘vers introduce the men ‘o ull but te hurt- ful and deathly exigencies of rex @nr.

Except in England this system prevails in all Europe. In Germany, in- @eed, each tax paper is inscribed with a minute statement as to the number of men and beasts that may be billeted on the vic- tim whose name it bears, and there is a special commission in each city, town and village to look after the righteous distribu- tion of the King’s soldiery among the house- holders. Objects of the Maneuvers. ‘The maneuvers of the various armies while striving for the same general end, namely, the warlike training of great com: Posite bodies, differ from each other in many respects, each leader endeavoring to overtop the other in trying new expert- ments in the line of tactics and with new armaments. Germany, Russia, Austria and Italy have thelr kaiser’s, czar’s, king’s, emperor's maneuvers, respectively, at which the war lords of these countries preside, generally attended by foreign sovereigas or Princes and the military representatives of friendly nation’. The pomp of power, to which already allusion has been made. is more pronounced at those occasions than at the ordinary maneuvers; but they also require, if possible, more actual hard work on the part of the men, and engender more risks for the officers in command, as even @ slight faux pas made in the sovereign's Presence irrevocably calls for immediate resignation. Public Reproof. A military Frenchman attached to the court of Louis XIV in describing the ma- neuvers of Prussian troops after the first Silesian war remarks with astonishment that the king (Frederick the Great) on ob- serving a false movement by a regiment, led by one of the sovereign princes of the empire, called his royal highness before the front and roundly abused him, apostrophiz- ing him as a “jackass,” “dolt” and German “pig,” and winding up with such a torrent wectives that all the foreigners stood aghast with amazement. Such an occurrence would be quite impos- sible today, but public reproof, administered Womar at the German Maneuvers. to royal and other eminent commanding officers in the maneuver fields, is quite fre- quent and always results in the temporary or final retirement of the person who was unlucky enough to ineur the displeasure of the generalissimus, It is only three years ago that Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia, first cousin to the kaiser, was ordered to retire from the field during the progress of a cavalry evolution, in the first of which he had blundered. Next day he was transferred to the infantry, and was only reinstated last summer after winning the first prize in the long-distance race of mounted officers be- tween Berlin and Vienna. The ruthless weeding out for incompe- teacy in high and low quarters is one of the most beneficial features of the maneu- vers. It is conveyed in the critique, deliv- ered by. the commander-in-chief to the offi- cers’ corps after the day’s work is ended, or, if advisable, at the conclusion of any change of position or movement showing glaring defects. The general always ud- dresses his reproof to the highest officer in Whose command the irregularity happens. Thus the colonel of a regiment will be rep- rimanded for the mistake made by one of his battalion, and the chief of the latter, in his turn, is ‘to the colonel responsible for the stupidity displayed by his leutenant. The following anecdote, related to me years ago by Field Marshal Von Moltke, now deceased, will illustrate the process: “One evening in delivering a very tavor- able critique at the Treves maneuvers,” said the great strategist, “I took accasion to remark that several men in the fourth company of a certain regiment had been ob- served to wear their coats unbuttoned at the neck, which was against orders. The colonel of that regiment seemed to take the matter much to heart, and, galloping off to where his troops were stationed, as soon as released, summoned his lieutenant col- onel, majors and captains to tell them that his excellency (that is myself) had admin- istered to him (the colonel) a most stinging rebuke on account of the general untidi- ness prevailing in the regiment. ‘This state of things must be reversed at once,’ he cried, ‘or none of us can hold his position week long: “The officers, though unaware of any shortcomings on the part of their subai- terns, or men, became thoroughly alarmed and resolved among themselves to stamp out the spirit of uncouthness forthwith. So each took his immediate subordinate to task, increasig the enormity of the al- leged offense to suit the individual require- ments. The colonel, as you observe, had magnified my remarks into rebuke and threat, charging the whole regiment with untidiness; the chief officers changed the still mild term to uncouthness, and when the matter was brought before the first Heutenants these gentlemen substituted for it gross carelessness and dirty habits; the men, finally, were told by the sergeants and ‘sub-lieutenants the field marshal had been amazed and shocked at their general sluttishness and disorderly conduct and that if ever again they appeared half naked in the field every mother's son of them would be degraded to the soldiery of the second class.” Aside from the kaiser’s, czar’s and king’s maneuvers, alluded to as a separate in- stitution, annual division cavalry and for- tification exercises on a more or less large scale are common in all European coun- tries, even in the petty states. They require @ tremendous outlay of money and more lives are lost in the sham battles, on ac- count of the heat and of overwork, than the official records care or dare to say. The number of suicides by disgraced or disap- pointed officers is likewise considerable. ‘The Kaiser's Review. Wiliam today opens the Kaiser maneu- vers of nis army by a review of the eighth corps on the plains that stretched opposite the ancient Roman town of Treves, on the very spot where the generals of the Cesars and governors of Gallia, Iberia and the British Islands were wont to inspect their victorious legions. After gotfig through the customary evo- lutions, the army, consisting of two divis- tons, artillery, ploneer and train formations, all solid Khinelanders, marches ahead in the direction of Metz, where it consolidates Sunday with the sixteenth corps of Lor- Tainers, which is of equal strength. They wil) maneuver within the limits of the tri- angle fcrmed by the cities of Treves, Metz and Saarioui: The program calls for special exertio: s on the part of the troops in the lise of ascertaining the effect of some new tactics of the defensive and of- fenstve, lately introduced in several regi- ments, but not yet tried on a more exten- sive scale. The kaiser proposes to let the Crown Prinze of italy, who attents him and his military staff, investigate his latest strate- gic exploit with a view of utilizing it in the army of King Humbert. The Italian aliy will also be given occasion to view the exercises of a select troop armed with a new rifte on probation, which is said to be a wonder of modern’ quick‘re technique. It is an entirely new invention, perfected only a month ego, and about which the emperor is very enthusiastic. Its introduc- tion, it is claimed, would give the German army an advantage over all others, friends and foes, for ten years. Night Maneuvers. Furthermore, there will be real night maneuvers, aided by portable electric light reflectors and without. ‘The night maneuver fs a French strata- gem, first tried two years ago, but the name applied by its originators would hardly seem to be the vorrect one, inas- much as they began operations only in the twilight of the morning. Emperor William has graciously adopted the enemy’s idea, but proposes to carry it out in a far more thorough and business-like style. The maneuvers will close with a grand sham battle, just outside of canno& reach of Metz, when the kaiser wil! assume the role of his late uncle, the famous Red Prince, and conqueror of that great fort- ress. On September 8 the kaiser will review the fourteenth and fifteenth army corps it Ba- den; they will maneuver against each 6ther from the 12th to the 14th, part of the e under the eye of “B» supreme commander. Their exercises originally were to continue, until September 26, but the scarcity of fod- der made it impossible to carry out that be genial intention. The twenty-sixth and twenty- seventh (Wurtemberg) divisions will tread the warpath a day or two later, and the kaiser will see to it that the thing comes off with proper eclat. The French Maneavers. French agitation over the action of the Italian government which allowed the Prince of Naples to make good his promise to witness the kaiser maneuvers in the em- Peror’s suite—he was created a Meutenant general in honor of the occasion—has de- tracted attention from the French maneu- vers this year. They are to be on a less extensive scale than usual with respect to the number of troops employed enmasse, but will be as thorough and undoubtedly as interesting as ever. The military lead- ers of the grand nation seem to have come to the very obvious conclusion that it is simply impossible to utilize more than a certain quantity of men in the field, and that it {s likewise futile to try to compete with Germany in regard to human material for army purposes. So the resolve to de- vote all their energies to the training of the individual soldier and a steady ad- vancement of each body of stroops. The season's program includes extensive ex- exercises with the 6.5 millimetre rifle, which is to take the place of the present infantry arms, cavalry long distance rides to bring them up to the German standard of rapid motion and several new artillery evolu- tions. At last year’s maneuvers a remarkable increase in the marching capacity of the infantry was noted, while their offensive tactics’ proved fallacious, though full of theatrical effect. Spectacular Massing of Troops. The French mode of attack has always excelled in spectacular features, by reckless massing of troops and its tumultuous course action, but the era of far reaching and quick-firing rifles positively prohibits such tactics nowadays. Entirely new methods will be tried this year. Then there will be bicycle, carrier pigeon and balloon ex- ercises on a heretofore unknown scale and the sanitary force, including physicians, surgeons, apothecaries, hospital stewards, nurses and dogs, will be put to an ex- haustive test. In Austria, Four army corps will engage in the Aus- trian emperor's maneuvers from the 16th to the 224 of this month, in the Eisen- burg Comitat headquarters at Guens, Hun- gary, when the emperor himself assumes supreme command with Kaiser Wilhelm as witness and councillor, and attended by the Prince of Naples, representing the third power of the triple alliance. Inasmuch as the Austro-Hungarian army is modeled upon the principles of the Prussian military constitution, and as their tactics are about alike, the exercises will closely resemble those previously enacted at Metz, except that the forces pitched against each other are twice as large. Emperor Francis Joseph's original order de bataille, as it is technically styled, or- dered the army corps of the Vienna and Gratz districts with their Landwehrs (re- serves) to the field of action, to oppose an equal number of native Hungarians, but the latter had no sooner heard of it than they raised the cry of unconstitutlonality, claim- ing that only the Austrian regulars were permitted by law to enter Hungarian terri- tory, and threatening to treat the Land- wehr as “foreign” soldiery, in case Francis Joseph insisted on carrying out his inten- tion. At first the emperor showed fight, but soon Fielded, probably because he has been taught of doing so"by adverse circum- stances ever since he ascended the throne. The Austrian regulars will be reinforced by Honveds during the maneuvers. HENRY W. FISCHER. ———_+e- —-__ jurgery Extraordinary. From the Indianapolis Journal. “I see that a doctor down in Virginny is about to fasten a couple of arms on a feller that had his arms took off,” said the man with the ginger beard. “Yas, I read that,” said the grocer. “and I "lowed at first you had went to writin’ stories fer the papers.” As usual the grocer’s sarcasm was ig- nored, and the man with the ginger beard continued: “I bet he makes a success of it, if he is anything of a doctor. Tell you’ why. I knowed of a very case of that kind. It was this way: They was a horrible railroad ac- cident oncet on that there railroad I run on down in Nickerauger—the one where the centipedes et off the tires fum the eugyne, you remember.” “But you said that happened down in Mexico,” shouted the delighted grocer. “Said what happened down in Mexico asked the man with the ginger beard, with the air of one who was sure of his position. “That there centipede business.” ‘Well, s'posin’ I did? It happeaed ickerauger, too. That thing happens on them southern roads ‘most anywhere. Sut to git back to my story. As I was sayin’, they was a horrible accident, anl the people was scattered around in sections fer more than a hundred yards. They was one fellow who was rich who had his arms «nd lezs oth smashed all to pieces. Says he: ‘I got a hunnerd thousand dollars in the bank, an’ I'll give half of it to any doctor who will fix up these here limbs as vood as new.’ ‘By gosh,’ says a young doctor who was on the train, ‘I'll go you.” And what did he do but take a couple of fellers who was bound to go under anyway, and cut the legs off of one of them, und the arms off of Yother, and sew ‘em on to that there capi- talist. And they stuck, too, and growed on fast. But here ‘s where the funny part of the story comes in. The feller ‘at fur- nished the arms had been a great ecrapper in his day (you see, I heerd all about it afterward), and they couldn't nobody look at this feller any more ‘thout his wantin’ to put up his dukes and poke him in the face. Lord knows how many fights the feller would ‘a’ had, ef it hadn't been fer the fact that his legs was took from a fel- ler that was one of the worst cowards ever walked. So, jist about when this here patched-up capitalist would git his fists in fightin’ position, them legs would sorter see the state of things, and he'd -un away—or Tuther the legs would—like a skeered dog." “Seems to me,” sald the xrocer, ‘that if I was tellin’ that story ¥ would have had ‘one leg wantin’ to go forrer.1 an’ the other wantin’ to go backerd; 0 the feller would Jist_ go round and round lke.” “Wal,” said the man with the ginger beard, “I might 'a’ told it that away, too, if I wanted to lie about it. But I ain't that kind. And the man with the ginger beard helped himself to a handful of rainins and went over to offer suzgevilons to the Mack- smith, who was setting a tire for the man from Potato Creek. ———+0+—_____ Jugaing Rees. From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. ‘While on a recent trip out into the coun- try I saw a farmer rid himself of several nests of bumble bees in a very simple but effective manner. The particular field which was being ploughed oyer for the fall sow ing was especially infected with the tro blesome insects and a ploughboy the day before had been badly stung. The farmer asked me to go with him and see the bors “jug the bees.” A common brown jug half filled with water was taken along. One of the boys led the way to an especially large and dangerous looking nest lying on the stubble close to the ground. The jug was cautiously deposited by the sie 0? the nest. ‘Then, with a long branch of 1 tree, the nest was violently stirred, and the Ind fled for his life. In a perfect swarm the bees flew out to see who had dared assault their cas- tle, and circled angrily about, buzzing vio- lently all the time. From a safe distance the farmer and his boys threw clouds of dirt and stones at the angry insects. They seemed to be looking for thelr enemy. Gra- dually their numbers grew less, and at last there were no bees to be seen. “Let us look Into the jug," said the far- mer, as he led the way. It was picked up and its contents poured out on the ground with difficulty, as 104 bumble bees, by actual count, had flown into the jug, in ‘a vain ef- fort to find the destroyer of their home, and had drowned. I walked back with one of the boys to a spring to fill the jug with clear water preparatory to an attack upon another colony of bees. As we trudged over the sunny fields the berry-brown lad re- marked, “I'd rather jug bees than plough, any day, wouldn't you?" re New England Farmers’ Wives. From the Boston Herald. The wives of the farmers in New Eng- land have had no voice in church or state. They are a silent and long-suffering com- pany. Even more seldom than in our com- mon social life do these women find con- enial companionship in their husbands. foo many of thé present race of farmers keep their noses so close to the soll and live upon such a plane of earthliness that they are better companions for their cattle than for their wives, and they leave to them the discharge of all the higher func- tions of living while they grovel upon a plane below them. This may seem a harsh statement, but no one can go among the people as’a pastor or as a physician who does not have these facts impressed upon his mind and heart a thousand times. What shall be done? If ever the farms of New England become again the heritage of the sturdy yeomanry of a century ago the women who live upon them will have more husbands who share in their higher intel- lectual and moral life, men who are educat- ed to their business, ‘who share in the life the community, and who know how to companions. NOT BREAD BUT PIE. Col. MeNeery’s Opinion on the Parade of the Unemployed. From the Chicago Evening Post. Mr. McKenna, who is a prosperous gen- tleman, dropped into Col. McNeery’s place the other afternoon looking somewhat cx- cited. “Where have ye been, Jawn?” asked the colonel. “Ye'r face is as red as angyos- toria bitthers an’ ye have a wild eye in ye'er head. Where have ye been, lad?" “I've been looking at the parade of the unemployed,” replied Mr. McKenna, “1 marched around the streets and I thought they might mix it up with the police. They were hollering ‘Give us bread,’ and they carried banners and a loaf of bread nailed to a cross.” “An’ why didn’t they ate th’ loaf?” in- quired Col. McNeery. ‘Why, you old dummy, they was using it for a banner.” “A-ha,” said the colonel, shaking his head. “They wanted bread, no less; but they wanted th’ raygalia more. Now, sup- Pose they'd et that there loaf an’ hocked th’ shtar shpangled banner f’r what they could get on it, some iv thim ‘d have enough to ate fr a minnit, anyhow. But ‘tisn't bread they want.

From the Philadelphia Medical News. Not long since a foolish gentleman, who preferred to Ive in New York or not to live at all, committed suicide rather than longer to endure the ear-splitting notse of the bells of a neighboring church. In thourands of cases people are being made ill, are com- mitting slow sutclde, or are being painfully and slowly killed by useless city noises. Nose, then, becomes a question of health and of medical importance, concerning which physicians should have a word to say and a duty to perform. Sociologically the whole community has an unrecognized duty as regards nolse that rests’ upon a physiologic and aesthetic basis. Delicacy and accuracy of response to a physlologic stimulus are the charac- teristic marks of perfection in an orzanistn, ‘Whatever prevents this is against the wel- fare of society and progress. In this brutal noise-making era one or two things must follow the ceaseless bruising of the mind by notse. Either the auditory mechanism, and the nervous mechanism with which it is re- lated—that 1s, the whole mind--must be- come blunted in sensitiveness, crushed and stupefied, or it must react pathologically. People are, therefore, divisible into two classes: Those whose nervous systems and minds are becoming mechantcalized, anae: thetic and brutalized, and those who, thus failing to kill sense and mentality, develop disease-reactions. The distinct agency of nolse {s to make us elther savage or sickly. Civilization, of which noise-making iso. decided component, is thus bearing in its bosom a self-poison to its own undoing.

From whatever aspect the subject be con- sidered it seems strange that people will submit to the indignities of the noise- makers. A thousand are outraged in order that one or a few may possibly be bene- fited. The shrieking of whistles and the ring- ing of bells to notify workmen to stop or to start work is an instance in point. Every- body has a watch or a clock at hand. Why, then, blow the whistles? Why, also, thunder or jangle bells to tell people that should be asleep what o'clock it is during the night? The 10 per cent of people who go to church must be warned by bells; but have the 90 per cent no rights?
