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-

rison at Gibraltar not long ago.
'1'he Gemmel, who was supposed to

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-

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

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

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

ing into a furniture shop and hid-

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.

ATHLETICS,
The autumn is the time when the
newspapers take up the subject of
athlotice, especially co liege athletics
and discuss its bearing upon the fu-
ture of 010 individual and of the
race. 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,-

IN ALL THINGS,
.A. Peculiar Religious Sect in Eng-
land,
The Cokelers, a curious religious
sect, may influence the result of the
election in North-west Sasses. 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. In each chapel there are
elders or "stalwarts," pic1:-1 from
the congregation; but there aro no
ministers in the accepted sense of the
term, and the order of service is.
closely aide to that of the Quakers.
The 001181 rs are not total abetsin-
ars, but Very few of thorn touch in-
toxicating liquor, and in regard to
wedlock, they held Clint, while mar-
tiego is a thing to be avoiriod if pos-
sible, immortality 15 a greater evil.
In these circumstances, aitiiougdf they
have no marriage service of their
own, the elders raise no objection to
members 0f the sect going through
the ceremony elsewhere,
Mr, Chamberlain wants to see "free
trade within the Empire," and the
Coklolers' ideal is froo trade within
their own business limits, In every
'
vDego whore they have taken root
t.110 Cokelnrs have their own store,
which; is mainly supplied by members
of tho sect, and sells to all -comers to
the profit of the sect. But these es-
tablishments pay their way nnd bene-
fit all who have dealings with them,
Swans' their mtiunJg'ers will not coun-
tenance "dumping" of any lcttel; and
it is net surprising that a propoeal
to evolve a wahine] scheme from the
sante germ as their parochial ex-
peulntenl,s should be looked upon by
them with approval.
WHEN FRANCIS FIGHTS.
M. Itoelic, French ex-Ministor of Com -
mace, gives statistics of the expense
that France would incur in the event
of a European war. Ile takes ns n

gaged in the Franco-Prussian War

To -day the expense would bo far

comprising 000,000 men. Thus 11,-
000,01)0 men would have to bo

would have to bo boug'iit and paid

BAD TEETH, BAD SOLDIERS.
British Recruits Must Show Sound
Molars.
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.

Made big enough for a big
man to work in with comfort.
Has more material in it than
any other brand of shirt in
Canada. Made on the
H.B.K. scale it requires 39:a
to 42 yards per dozen, whereas
common shirts have only 32
to 33 yards.
That's the reason why the
H.B.K. "Big" Shirt never
chafes the armpits, is never
tight at the neck or wrist-
bands, is always loose, full
and comfortable and wears
well.
Each shirt bears a tiny book
that tells the whole history
of the "Big" Shirt, and
also contains a notarial
declaration that the
re Big" Shirt contains 39X
to 42 yards of material per
dozen.
Sold at all dealers but only
with this brand:
