The approximate numben of men employed to milk* lite cows for Lon- don supply is estimated a 15,500, whieh is prabably undo,. rather than over the mark, while 40,000 more are employed le distribute it. When the number of men employed in all the great, lewns as milkmen are adde61 to those actually employed among the cows, the milk trade is easily first for providing work foe the willing ht this country, and the advertisements for milkers prOVe that a trustworthy 3311311 need not be out of work for long together.

SWISS ARMY IS A MODEL- ANNUAL MANEEEIVRIES DISCLOSE! 1110E1 SIMI: OF IEFFICIEZNCY, Difficulties That Reset Napoleon thq Merest Trifles to l'rained Swiss Soldier. The Swiss army manoeuvres, which have fust concluded, establish the fad, Mal the Swiss .soldier is probality the Les! in Europe, and his work upon the sloping fee -clad peaks Or his native Alps has been simply marvelous. The dfillcullies which bead, Napeleaff 111 crossing those mountains in 1800 are but trifles to We Swiss soldier. The ease with which whole regiments Wide dewn the snow elopes is astonishing. In doing this the rifle Is placed on the top of the knapsack, behind the head, leavim.E the man's arms Rant& rtoo to manipulate the alpenstock, which LS a necessary part of each soldier's ,equip, men!. The 51(1 38 else used In the Army rna- meuvres, and the way the soldiers glide along on it is surprising.

The soldiers become 30011- derfull3' nimble. A PEERLESS ARRAY, The Swiss army hos reptatedly in as • history hurled back the trained legion - Wes or Europe, and to -day fronts the world in its Alpine fastness, calm and peaceful, It is decidedly more Modern in spirit and organization than any other army in Europe; and just now e mixed committee of both Houses 01 1,1(0 British Parliament is investigating the system, with the object of having it copied by Great Britein. Switzerland may be regarded as a nation under arms, although its object is defense, not defiance. A new artnY Act has just come into being, but LS enly a slight modification of the old Act. According to 11, every able-bodied man must serve in the Auszug from the age of 20 to 32, and there is no means of escaping this, for the lottery system of selection is not in use. From 33 to 40 he becomes one of the Landwehr (the first reserve); from 40 1.1.,1 to 48 he belongs to the Londstrum roe second reserve). Even then he may , be called upon if Ills country needs, him, and he may also have to join the fighting forces before he has reached the age of 20 if necessity arises. Att. the men forming (he Auszug are called upon for about a fortnight's special sets, vice each year, ancl are thus kept in eon - staid training. On joining the army for the first time a man is iplaeed 111 the recruiting school, where Im learns his drill. The reeled of early train- ing extends over about two months for infantry, three months Wr cavalry, and uct.,,,vaen two and three months joe ae. thiery and for pioneers. TO the tomes thus obtained may be added those comparatilvely few men who, being exempt for one reason or another, 80111 wish to serve, and are known as the volunteers. Every Swiss must serve, but if he is unfit, or is un- able to serve for some other approved cause, he must pay a yearly militia tax, which ceases when he is 44. The all- co05. are, of ceurse, permanent; other- wise, in the strict Senn of the word, Switzerland has no standing army. DRILLS SEVERE. The Intlitery service of the Swiss youth begins at an early age; He learns the dein dong with las arlthme- be and spelling book, and this begins When he is 11 years old, Later a rifle club and gymnasium form part of his currieulum. When he becomes a fledg- ling in the ranks he already knows eany or the duties which a trained sot, cher must perform. The discipline, vhilo it lasts, is severe; at the recruit - ng school 110 must drill eight hours a /ley, kw forty -nee days, if he be in 14,he 13(11311 1')'; Sixty days if in the devilry, nd fifty-five days In the artillery.
