LESSONS OF THE WAR.

N ow that the course of the war is in the | Tight direction, thought is being given to | the requ.sites of the eoldier in modern warfare. The importance of having great cow manders— men able to initiate and effi- jently contro] the movements ofan army — bas been strikingly e2t forth by the recent events in South Africa. Men of geniu: to lead our armies are as essential t> success now as they were in the days of Mar!- borough and Wellington. But the subal- tern cfficer and common privat> soldie: | has ceased to be merely a brave man ia batile carrying ou. the commands of his euperior. This view | rirougly main- tained by the military. writer of the London Times who says that “the im portance of self-reliance and individual ipitiative in the cfficers commanding de~ tachments, and «ven in each eingle private | scllier, bas been indefinitely enhanced. | It is getting less and less possible, for a

Fear In High Places,

A -famous steeple climber was ask- ed if he ever felt fear in his business.

“Of course I feel fear at times,’ he answered. “Fear is common to all Not to feel fear is not cour- age. To overcome fear is the true quali- ty of csurage. I divide the nerve force of a man into two parts—the impelling

| force and the restraining force—the same impelling force that causes a

werks longer, would have seen the end of |

his 88. year, but, as the old man used to say, not his birthday, as, being born on the 29h of February, 1812, he tad probably seen only twenty-one of these dates. This was one of his full vocabulary of jokes. He appreciated good j cecil retiring dispositien, could tell | them amosg his iotimate friends in good | style. zen3 of Charlottetown, 1sd many in other parts of his island home, his remiais- ceaces cOucerming ihem were accurate aud interesting. He went tothe “ printer’s case” when a mere lad, wih but very little education, and in early manbeod te was cousidered a wet! read man and highly intelligent, such a scholarly man as R B. Irviog. father of tne present popular "). U. C. at Halifax, and others of that ilk, deferring to his geod judg- ment in matters of punctuation and the construction of sentevces. He could and did write puogent and incisive articles, when the cccasion offered, eepeciallv-ot a satirical nature,and sometimes in rhyme, eome of which appeared over he sgna:ure of “Bodkin B.” During his long experi- ence as s practical prin‘er, he buc once attempted torun a jourpal, and that was short-lived, as he wa3 never keen for business on his own accouat, a] ways con- tending that the life of a publisher in emmall communities with so many corflict- irg itfluences, wee not congenial to him. He was always kicd and courteous to his fellow-workmen, and some of them owe him a deep debt of gratitude for his kicd- instructions, The writer saw him in Thakae, 1899,when he was “ wearin’ awa,” and heard from him the old time kindly expressions ccncernirg bis friends, Lut more especially about bie wife and daugh- ter, regarding whore kindly attentions he epoke feelingly, It did us goed to hear the old typo thus Jay down “‘tbe stick,” and we bave thought it well to say these few words in memoriam.” ee

A False Statement.

Loxnpox, Feb. 20.— A special from Madrid eaying that Premier Silveia re- cently declared in the Senate that previous to the war with the United States the Bri- tish government coneented to let Spain bave 8,5000 *hells which were being manufactured for her at the Maxim fac- tery at Placentia, meets with vigorous denial in London. Albert Vickers, head of the Vicker’s Maxim firm, said, Senor Silvela lied. The factory at Placentia is a branch of our concern under the Syanish government's con:ro] and there never was a ehell manufactured there for eule in any country except Spain, where a law ageinst the exportation of ammunition exists.”

body of recruits at first to run under fire and the restraining force that causes them to overcome for various reasons the first natural fear. So, in climbing, one unused to it is by the natural impelfing force of his nervous system afraid, afraid that his legs, his arms, his support, will give way and plunge him down. Shakespeare, who touched on all human emotions, teuch- ed on this feeling of fear in high places when in ‘King Lear’ ward at the cliffs of Dover.

“The one way to get over the natural

fear is by some restraining force from either within or without. I remember once when a new boy at sea was or- dered aloft by the mate he trembled with fear and begzed to be let out of, it. ‘Upon my soul, sir, | can’t go up

there. This was his first impelling impulse. But when the mate touched

him up with a rope’s end he was at the top of the mast so quick that the mate could not follow lim. The pain on bis outer neryes brought him to his senses and made him exert his restraining force. So if you happen to be with any one who shows signs of fear in a high place a few smart slaps on the face will bring him to himself. The right medicine for uncon. 2erable fear in a high place is immediate pain on the outside nerves.”—Boston ‘Tran- script.

An Iron Czar,

In the “Memoirs of a Revolvtionist,” , by Prince Kropottin, the author says that Alexander Ii himself, for all he was willing to emancipate the serfs, was &@ man capable of singular barsh- ness and even brutality. When Kro- | potkin was promoted and was called with other officers to the side of the ezar, the latter congratulated them quietly, speaking about military duty and loyalty. “But if any of you,” he went on, distinctly shouting out every word, his face suddenly contorted with anger—“but if any of you—which God preserve you from—sbould under any circumstances prove disloyal to the czar, the throne and the fatherland, take heed of what I say, he will be treated with all the se-veri-ty of the laws, without the slightest com-mise- ra-tion.”

“His voice failed,” says the author. “His face was peevish, full of that rage which 1 saw in my childhood on the faces of landlords when they threatened to skin their serfs ‘under the rods.’ He violently spurred his horse and rode out of our circle. Next morning, the 14th of June, by his or- ders, three officers were shot at Modlin, in Poland, and one soldier. Szur by name, was killed under the rods.”

Swept Away by Pliagues.

Italy once had a plague that killed 10,000 persons daily. Five hundred a day died in Rome. In one year 200,000 citizens of Constantinople died. The epidemic of 1347-9 was the worst ever visited on man. In Asia 23,000,000 per- ished by it and in Europe 25,000,000. In London 200 persons were buried daily in the Charterhouse yards. It was called “black death.” The plague in England in 1471 destroyed more peo- ple than the continual wars for the 15 preceding years.

“Sweating sickness,” prevailing in | England for three years, killed half the population of all the capital towns and depopulated Oxford. It was mortal in three hours. The great plague of Lon- don in 1664 carried off 100,000 people. A transport with soldiers on board, from Sardinia to Naples, broveht a plague that destroyed 400,000.
