An Invalid German Took Photo- graphs of All the Works of Gibraltar, The mysterious foreigner whose ar- rest near Milford Haven ns an al- leged spy was an exciting incident of the recent. 'naval manoeuvres brings bank to the memory the in- genuity of that other invalid gentle- man -this time u German -who im- posed on the hos 1iLa1It' of our gar- rison 3 g rison at Gibraltar not long ago. '1'he Gemmel, who was supposed to be canstunpLi ve, arrived at 0Men .Kite equipped tel th letters of Introth) o - Moe from many influential people 1 England. The (luvcrnet• and 01,11( officials vied with each other In hos pitable entertainment of the fLrur ger; and it was with pain that Lid request to be allowed to go to th top of the rock "for the sake of Lh pure air" was declined. But so in- sinuating and gulieless was the Ger- man that at last he had his way even in this matter, and Lhe .rule which forbids foreigners to walk about •the top of the ruck was re- laxed in his favor. The regret when the amiable visitor lett was unLvov- sal ; but the result cif his visit is be be seen at the Cermen War Office in the form of perfect plans and photographs of all our works and defences at Gibraltar. A short time ago a Gelman lieu- tenant enlightened the world as to the methods praetised by spies in time of peace. For sonic years the lieutenant wag employed as a spy by the Getman War Office, and ho gives A TIIILILI.,ING ACCOUNT. of his adventures in this character in Franco. Once he clogged the officials of -the Ministry of War with such success that when one of the attachesleft .his portfolio for a moment in the waiting -room of the Clare de l'Est, the lieutenant snitched it up, jump- ed into a cab, and the next day landed it over to the authorities in Berlin. Disguised as a major of a French artillery regiment, he was present at tbo 1892 manoeuvres, overheard important secreta in the head -quarters tent, and, changing his disguise to that of a pedlar, got :safely away with much valuable in- formation. Ile even penetrated in- to the naval dock at Toulon by, tho expedient of upsetting his boat and swimming to the clocks, where he was rescued in an apparently uncon- scious condition -but really suill- ciently wide-awake to take stock of .all that was going on there. Ii 1894 he traced the underground telegraph system of the French army disguised as a chocolate pedlar; ho ,(ngagod himself as coachman to M. Mercier, and in that character accom- panied him on his tour of inspection o1 military, roads loading to tho Alps; and en another occasion he .escaped detection at Nancy by rush- ing into a furniture shop and hid- ing in n wardrobe. in which he per- suaded the shopkeeper to dispatch ]tint OVER J.'LIE FRONTIER. But much of the most effective work fn spying has boon done by women. Ono of the most dangerous •of them all was Mme. Bastion, .a char -woman at the Carman Embassy in Paris. It was =Mateo's practice to enter the Embassy ovary morning .at six o'clock, ransack drawers, coat -pockets, and waste -paper bas- kets, and hand over her spoil daily to an agent of the French Lpionage Department, who sorted the papers arnd found much of value in them. Por many a long year Mme. Bastion plied her profession without arous- ing the least: suspicion. As a rule, however, the most clan- ge•ous female spies aro those who possess -a formidable weapon in their personal attractions. Such a siren was Baroness de Kayla, who 'dict such excellent work for her Father- land. Tho baroness cast her spell over General, do Cissey, Minister of War under A1'aeMahon's Presidency, and white the senile general was bashing in the baroness's smiles In her drawing -room her agents were ransacking his portfolio in another room and taking copious notes of its contents. It was another beau- tiful woman, an adopted daughter of General ParanolT, who so infatuated several Russian stmt officers that, at her bidding, they sold to Austria the Russian plana of mobilization. The officers all, including General I'aranoff himself, paid for their fool- ish infatuation with their lives. 0 • i• s Out., suffered from had blood, but e him been made well and strong by e Dr, \\'illiums' Pink Pills after all other treatment had 1010(1. 141r.

This discussion is renewed each year during the football season, and each year it is abandoned with the question no nearer a solution titan at its beginning. It Is contended that athletes live as long as ,if not longer than, the average person, that exercise never harmed any one, and that nothing rn.n bo more hygienic or more health - giving than hard training, To this It is replied that statistics prove the fact that few athletes live to a green old age, oven if by chance they reach middle life., that over -exercise 0auseS hypertrophy of the heart, hardening of the arteries and kidney disease, and that the gorging, the tohaeco-smoking, and sometimes the beer -drinking to which the athlete turns as soon as the contest is over and the trainer gives hint freedom to do what he will, not only undo all the possible good of traihdug, but work grave harm by sudden oxecsses after abstemiousness. 'As is usahy the case in all oen- troversies, thorb is right on both sides. Given a young ratan with sound organs, supple arteries and well-balanced nervous system, it is probable that he can work with the college team for the entire four years -antler medical supervision. of course -without damage to the heart. The danger will tomo when ho leaves college and enters upon the profes- sional or business career, which al- lows little time for athletics. If the enlarged, muscular heart, which all athletes must have, is suddenly, re- lieved of all its extra work, it will make haste to dispose of its surplus muscle, and this by a process of fatty degeneration, most dangerous to the present and futmro integrity of the organ. But 11 the ex -athlete continues his training and his excer- cise In gradually lessoning degree, tapering oft, es it were, to a normal existence, the reduction in size of the heart will also be gradual, and the heart is let down slowly and very gradually, it will keep its tone -otherwise it will probably bo ruin- ed, Herein lies the secret of the good and bad of athletics, far sans moderation, for healthy men,- Youth's Companion.

Pe n- ded in 1850, the sect holds aloof from politics, but an effort will be made to get the members to go to the polls, and as they possess about 500 votes they aro an election asset not to be despised. The derivation of the word Cokolcr is enveloped in mystery. It ,is sup- posed by same to Have solution to their principles of temperance and their fondness for cocoa, and by others to a locality described in old records as "Col:ky," The Colrolors are only to be found in tho Weald of Sussex and in a few Surrey villages, They Have a creed of a pronounced Antinominn type, built upon a 01a11 - her of texts token away from their context and thus rendered capable of any interpretation which may be put on them.

Deficient teeth are not in the fu- ture to prevent enlistment in the British army of otherwise suitable recruits, Would-be soldiers found wafering' from decoyed teeth must, however, be prepared to put down a sum not to exceed 815 towards the expense of fitting them with artifi- cial teeth. These facts are set furth in a cir- cular by the secretary of the army council. Similarly afflicted men who would be otherwise discharged from the army as unfit fur further service, owing to the state of their teeth, are to be retained on rho equivalent candition thatat thea um to be paid the dentist is to be taken out of their pay. The British Medical Journal, in commenting un this order, says it is a step in the right direction. The Napoleonic dictum that an army marches en its stomach has been so long admitted as a military axiom that it seems strange that only now has effect been given to it. It is the South African war which has largely contributed to make the reform acceptable, a glaring light having then been thrown upon the losses which the army suffered through the defective elastication of a large number of troops. These troops were kept at tho base of sup- plies or sunt home because of the bad state of their teeth, which made it impossible for them to digest the rough food necessarily served out to men at the front.
