The Delilah Army Council is tak- ing action that should prove effec- tive to stop the extravagance which makes it possible only for men with largo private means to become can=' didates for cavalry commissions, says the London Daily Extpresc. Definite orders have been issued which general officers 'commanding are instructed to see carried out to the very letter. The cost of living is to ho reduced so that officers with moderate means may live in COM - fort in this branch of the service. Extravagance in u.11 its forms is to bo checked, The cost of loess is not to be higher than in other branches of the army. P108 practice of keeping semi -private account books in the tress, in which extra charges and monthly subscriptions are shown, is strictly forbidden. No general subscriptions for Lunches at race meetings or polo and cricket matches are to be allowed un- less the general commanding con- sents. Fines of money or wire are no longer to be levied on marriage or promotion, or in respect of any minor irregularities. Band subscrip- tions; or contributions aro forbidden, as Is also the keeping of a regimen- tal coach. LOWERING TEE STANDARD. It has been noticed that the de- cline o-cline of candidates from the univer- sities, the militia, and the Royal Military College has been most marked. This is not due to any lank of young men of intellectual and physical fitness, but solely to the cost of life in a cavalry regiment. The Army Council points out that the evil has a far-reaching effect, be- cause, in order to obtain officers and keep regiments up to their estab- lishment; it has been found neces- sary to relax the regulations as re- gards educational tests, with the result that the standard of educa- tion and intelligence has; been lower- ed. There are no fewer than 88 vacan- cies for officers in the cavalry of the line, and there Is a probability that this number will be increased at the end of the year to 50. No candidates are forthconmiug at present to fill these vacancies. It is hoped, however, that under the changed conditions young men with the necessary qualifications will come forward. BEYOND THEIR MEANS The evil of extravagance has been the subject of many warnings. These have all, .•however, been more or lass of a general nature,-whegeas the new order of the Arany Council is au em- phatic instruction. In May, 1902, the report of the Committee on Army Education re- ferred to the matter, and three months \later Lord Roberts issued an order discountenariciug the regi- mental coaches, that are now dedn- itely prohibited, aril packs of bounds, In December of the same year- fur- ther action was taken towards re- ducing officers' expenses by an or- der directing that all mounted offi- cers should be provided with horses - at the public expense. Then came the committo on Offi- cers' Expenses, which issued its re- port in April, 1903. This committee found that commanding officers de- liberately encouraged lavish enter- tainments, in such a manner that officers were compelled to live be- yond their income or b0 boycotted. The report was followed by two successive army orders by Lord Roberts, but the old scandals have been perpetuated. SHE TAUGHT 13TH TACT.

GOING, GOING, GONE. Crowd in a British Auction Room, Show How. During an auction sale of 'furniture which was being conducted in a shop in Victoria street, Wolverhampton, England, recently, the auctioneer was "knocking down" a writing desk with the familiar words, "go- ing, going, gene," when it seemed that the wells were rising up to overwhelm the numerous company present. A cry of alarm went up, and OVSry- borly clutched at everybody else, when all et once the crowd of buy- ers, the auctioneer and.his desks, found themselves in a heap in the cellar below. The floor belt g too rotten to support the great weight of .people and furniture, bad given way and collapsed like a trap=door, For some moments' everybody was bewitldercd and.

In the darkness, the subtcs'ranonn explorers stumbled upon some steps, a trap-door was opened, and the cool any found themselves safely in daylight again. The most serious injuries consisted of bruises and scratches. BABY'S OWN TABLETS.• - This medicine conics as a message of hope to all worried mothers.

An Incident in the Wreck of the Steamship Queen. There ars times when the mind - roust be called away from present danger or anxiety, and not allowed even to contemplate the serious and deeper aspects of an emergency. The San Francisco Call gives an instance of good sense and pluck on the part of a young lady who was ship- wrecked. A few months ago a most gallant light for life in a storm at sea took place in the Pacific. When the queen, with two hundred souls aboard, w'as abort thirty miles off Tillamook, fire was discov- ered in tho after cabin. A heavy gale was blowing at the time, ti'vd the situation seemed hopeless. Cap- tain Cousens first put the women Viand children, and all other passen- I gars who were not able to assist in fighting fire, into life boats, and launched them in the charge of ex- ' perienced men. These boats remained under the lee of the blazing steam- ship until those on board had con- quered the flames, i When the life -boats wore launched that dark and stormy morning, tho women and children were terrorized in the face of the threatening trag- edy. In one boat a voice was lifted in prayer, and the sound of weeping was heard above the roar of the waters. Some one raised the song, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and with trembling lips the• fear -dazed • company joined. Tho prayer and the hymn combined to deepen the mor- bid gloom, and the last note of the sacred song died in a chorous of sobs. • Than, strong and clear, a cheery voice made all sit up and listen, "What Is the matter with - you people?" it said, "We're not going to die. The fire is growing smaller. We shall all bo in our bunks in an hour. If you must sing, sing 'Be delis.' " -The young woman then started the jaunty popular song, and in a few moments, to the amazement of themselves and the wonder of the workers aboard the steamer, every one in the boats was singing "Be - define" From that it was an easy step to other airs of a lively nature, and long before the boats were recalled tfleir occupants were 'almost 'enjo\'- ing the 'novelty of their stern situa- tion. - " '• The Pacific Steamship :Oo)npany. decorated g c o r t d with old and ;silver. med- als the Captain and men' who.rislcccl their lives to save the ship. and pas= senora.

A little boy of eight years whose parents did not feed hint on the right kind of food, was always nerv- ous and suffered from p weak con- dition of the stomach and bowels. Filially he was tarsen clown with appendicitis and after the operation, the doctor, knowing that his intes- tinal digestion was very weak, put him on Grape -Nuts twice a day.

Emperor Menelik, the dusky ruler of Abyssinia, has issued an edict prohibiting tbe importation of alco- holic drinks into his empire.French wines and German beer have, bo says, found their way to his Court. He has watched their effects, and has come to the conclusion that if he does not•put a stop to the drink- ing that is going on his empire will soon fall a prey to other nations. The Emperor has no objection. to European arts and sciences; but he sets his face against European pois- on, and declares that ho will punish importers of alcoholic- liquors by forcing the stuff down their throats until thoy die. In the preamble to his edict ho says that drunkenness is pernicious, enfeebles a race, and destroys the body and mind. He de- sires his people to remain strong, healthy, independent, and, as a means to this end, prohibits alco- holic drinks in every part of his domains. MESSRS. C. A. RICH ARDS d: CO.

"It seems odd that the English alphabet, out of which can be con- structed several thousand of words, contains just one word formed by the letters in their present order," remarked the observant young man. "That word is 'No.' You can look the alphabet over and you won't find any other combination of vowel and consonant characters that will form a word. The nearest approach is 'Ab,' which by straining a point might be considered an abbreviation of Abraham,' or 'Hi,' which might answer as short for 'Hiram.' But 'No,' one of the shortest words in the language, is the only bona fide word formed in the arrangement of the alphabet's twenty-six charac- ters." • I.

Ohalleat, has en- vented a new sash, which he thinks will keep anyone who wears it from drowning. The wonderful article is made of indiarubber, but inside it is placed a little box containing a certain quantity of one of the com- pounds of calcium. When the sash comes in contact with the sea the calcium compound decomposes, and produces a quantity of gas sufficient to inflate the sash and preserve its wearer from death by drowning. Ex- periments have been made with this new idea, and so far they have been satisfactory. CALIFORNIA EXCURSIONS.
