The operabions were ordinarily begun after caretel skirmishing and heavy artil- lery fire. Although the formation of the troops was loose and ragged to a degree that would have given the Idorse Guards a fit, and driven the War Office to contemplate resignatioa or suicide, the work was splen- didly executed. The men were sent for- ward to the attaele at the most advantage- ous points, and there was far less thud - aline than can sometimes be seen on the Foxiiille. Practice makes perfect, and both French and Germans drill their men more frequently than we do, in what is, after all, the ohief lesson, how to use the rifle, and so advance as to develop the greatest possible fire power." 1 .

The Frenchman takes life far more easily, and only under ordinary and convenient circumstances when he meets an officer does he salute. If he is engaged at the time in wheeling a cart or drinking coffee the chances are he will not pay any attention to the officer. The old belief that the Gertnan soldiers are inferior as fighters to the French sol- diers, that theycan only win through their superior organization or through superior strength is likely to be sheken somewhat by the correspondeut's analysis of the merits o secoemsessanaearessencessasseemesse=seesememaxsameest AUCTIONEERS. 1:11RDY, LICENSED AUC- -1--.4 • tioneer for the County of Huron, Charges moderate.

Teaching Smith Sea Natives That It is Cost- ly to MU awl Ent White Men. ' The Solomon Islanders, who inhabit a beautiful archipelago stretching for 500 miles parallel with the nor' heaat Coast Of New Guinee, have °nailed the repatation of being among the wildest and most untaann able of savages. It is only within a few years that the missiouteries hey° attempted to work among them. Before the natives grew accustomed to the sight of trading vessels it was as emelt as a man's life was worth to venture on shore and the islanders were left pretty much to therneelves until six er seven years ago, wheu England and Germany divided the islands, between them, and then looked around to see if they were really worth dividing. Since then a mini- ber of traders and missionaries have built staLions on the islands and persistently wooed the natives to barter and prayer. The coy and suspicious creatures, however, distrusted the good intentions of the strang- ers, and as they are confirmed head-hunters they have lost no opportunity to lop off the head of a white man whenever they caught him alone. The British Government decided recent. ly to keep a war vessel in the neighborhood and teach the natives better than to cab missionaries and. adorn tabu houses with the skulls of traders. So, her Majesty's ship Rapid, has done a lively business of late, in- flicting gunboat justice upon villages indulg- ing in cannibal feasts with white men as the most tempting delicacy on the bill of fare. When the Captain of the Rapid made his last report he had just escorted rotative for the murder of Mr. Duval, a white trader. The crime occurred in the Mott Bay, among the southern islands of the group. One day, soon atter the murder, the Rapid anchored in the bay and sent word to the chief that uules$ the murderer of Mr. Duval WAS de- livered within two hours the village would be aliened. The SolomonIslanders bevelled considerable experience of this sort, and the Chief knew just what to expect. The Chief and one of his men promptly set off in a canoe for the warship, having in oharge a native whom they delivered up as the mur- derer of Mr. Duval. The Accused wee made a full confession of bis crime, The captain of the Rapid made careful ins estigation, couvineed himself that the prisoner was the culprit he was alter, and sentenced him to be shot at o'clock next morning at the village where the murder had occurred. At daybreak next moruing a solemn pro, cession of boats went ashore carrying the prisoner. It was thought that the treach- erous natives might be ill-mannered enough to attempt to interfere with the programme. A line of seamen Was therefore extended around the part of the village facing the woods to guard against surprise. The prisonerwits led ashore and. tied to a tree. Ho was very calm, observedall the proper- , ationa without, a tremor, and did not utter I greater end.

It is easier for Germany to decree than to carry out the French principle of training, the traditions of the Prussian service were not to be oblit- erated in a day, and so with their newer scheme and plan of drilling they still re- tain much of the old-time stiffness and pre - Melon.

"The innovations of drill which have been made repeatedly since the catastrophe of Jena, which, since the introduction cf smokeless powder and :small calibre rifles, have been directed against close, solid for- mations, have resulted in a looseness and simplicity of formation which certainly would have given the irascible Hohenzol- lents of the last century fits of apoplectic rage.

From "Science" we learn that a cunei- form tablet has been found at Tel liesy, the ancient Laohish, by Mn J. F. Bliss, who is excavating for the Palestine Exploration Fund. According to Prof. A.

The Napol- eonic maxim that Ere is everything is now most conscientiously believed and practised by German officers ht training their men." Of the German officals the correspondent says " No praise is too high, no words tee strong, to describe their excellence as mili- tary leaders. Doubtless they have faults, from some of which their French rivals are happily free; on the other hand, they know their duty, attend with exemplary fidelity to its discharge, and are proud of their position, regarding the work as of the utmost importance to the well-being of their land." The French soldier's ability to outmarch the German soldier is probably beyond cinestien. This was noticed by military critics throughout the manceuvres of last year. The Telegraph correspondent notic- ed. numerous cases of lameness among the German soldiers in his field, but during his stay in France did not remark one man who showed signs of suffering even after the hardest day's work. In his letter published on Sept. 21 the correspondent gives an interesting, though incomplete, account of what he observed of the manoeuvres of the Sixth French Army Corps under Gen. Jamont : "For ewe weeks the corps, which was made up from the garrisons and depots along the frontier, have been marching, manceuvring, and fighting among the hills and valleys that border the Moselle and Meurthe. The French soldier is well shod, his laced boots being much atter the favorite pattern of those worn by gentlemen who shoot over the moors at lime, Fete Or one of the 46,000 men in the Command showed signs of lameness -a thing very common among German troops on an afternoon's march. Their pace was quick and strong, and fifteen miles, even with their well -load- ed packs -- each soldier carried about fifty pounds -did not seem to trouble them, though there were days when the weather was hot to sultriness. The French soldier is kept up by his excellent coffee and frequent dishes of bouillon or campaign soup, which he is an adept in =eking. In the twinkling of an eye, by roadside or ie quarters, he bas the pot on, and with a Baby Hilognizes. I have been thinking all day and have arrived at this conclusion all the people in the world don't know much and they all know the same thing. Mamma ha,s had dozens of calls to -day and each one approached me either with that chestnut paddy cake, paddy cake " or that hackneyed "trot, trot to 13 Oaten" or something about "this little pig," but really this last is SO entirely uninteresbing that I have not troubled myself to learn it. Whew, how hot it is ! and fancy one wrapped up in flannel like me. An idea strikes um, I will howl a, little. One day when I cried, the nurse found a pin sticking into me, and since then whenever I cry, for any reason whatever, the nurse undresses me and looks for a ran. So I think it would be very foxy to shed a few mock tears. I bet I'll get a lob of these clothes off me in some way. I must howl at onee or the idea will escape me; I find difficulty in retain- ing more than one or two ideas at a time. I suppose it will bo different when I grow older. It is a shame that that tiresome old Mother Goose had no children with talent enough to write something for women to amuse themselves with when they are talk- ing to babies.
