HOW ENGLISH ARMY OFFICERS SET-
TLE THEIR DIFFERENCES.
The Plebeian and the Peer—How One
Regiment. Was Opened to Others Than
Offshoots of the Peerage—How "Molly'
Crushed the Cheeky Youngster.
In view of the disgraceful duel be-
tween the Duke of Orleans and the
Count of Turin we publish the follow-
ing article which shows the manner in
which British officers settle disputes:
Officers have their disagreements, of
course, like other men, and they have
to be settled. Dueling is forbidden by
taw as well as by modern ideas and
common sense. Complaints respecting
infractions of mess etiquette or of un-
; gentlemanly or =soldierly conduct may
be submitted to the mess committee, the
punitive powers of which are extremely
farreaching. The life of an officer "sent
to Coventry" by his fellows is unendura-
ble, .and his only chance is to exchange.
But all this is moral suasion only,
and in the end disputes are frequently
settled by=a resort to first principles—
the rule of fist—while redress is some-
times obtained in ways as drastic as
they are novel.
A gentleman joined a crack cavalry
regiment. He had no pedigree or fami-
ly to recommend him. In fact, his fa-
ther was a retired brewer, and by the
scions of nobility among his comrades
he was rather coldly received.
"Are you the son of Dash, the brew-
er?" inquired one of these.

PLANING MILL
MAIN ST., NORTH.
The undersigned would beg to say to the public
generally, that they have their mill running now full
blast, every day and all day, and are prepared to
do custom work on the shortest notice, and guar-
antee satisfaction. All kinds of
PINE LUMBER, BOTH DRESSED AND
"I am. "
"Then why didn't your father bring
you up to his trade?"
"Oh, well, you're the son of Lord
Blank, aren't you?"
"Yea"
"Then why didn't he bring you up a
gentleman?"
The upshot of this was a rough and
tumble, wherein was demonstrated that
in the army a plebeian is the equal of a
peer—if he can box as well.
Another gentleman from the ranks of
trade came home one day to find all, the
crockery and breakable articles in his
rooms smashed, the same being intend-
ed by the wreckers . as a delicate hint
that his presence among them was ob-
jectionable. .
He was late for dinner that evening
and apologized to the president of the
mess for it, explaining what had hap-
pened ---that he had been to the rooms
of the three he suspected and returned
the comliliment; if he had wronged
any, he Would apologize and restore the
articles; if he had hit on the right ones,
they, could have satisfaction in the rid- -,
ing school after dinner.
Accordingly, after dinner, two of
them received satisfaction in full, a la
Corbett, in drill time, but the third
proved a tougher nut to crack, and the
big hearted plebeian (who, by the bye,
is now a general), weakened by his ex-
ertions, was getting worsted, so anoth-
er of the same social status who was
an expert boxer took up the running.
He soon finished off the third man
and obligingly offered to take on any
one who sympathized with the trio. By
this means—appropriate to their pro-
fession—these two officers opened the
door. in that regiment to others than
offshoots of the peerage, by whom it
had previously been regarded as a pre-
serve. -
Among officers exchanging from one
regiment to another is common. One
little man,' a lieutenant, incurred the
enmity of the men of his troop by con-
tinually finding fault and rubbing it in
by contrasting them unfavorably with
his late corps till they hated the very
name of the "Pinks," as we'll call
them.
Not only the rank and file, but the
noncommissioned officers, came in for
his animadversion till it got unbearable,
and at last the troop sergeant major
told the captain quietly that there
would be a mutiny in the troop before
long if it continued.
It so happened that he had alto car-
ried his insulting comparisons into the
mess, and as he wouldn't take advice
and "drop it" his brother officers took
the matter into their own hands, with
the result that one cold night in Febru-
ary there was a hubbub within the offi-
cers' quarters, a window was presently
opened, and little "Joey," clad only in
his nightshirt, was landed out, seized,
placed and held down in a handbarrow,
wheeled off to the manure heap and
there shot out, to make his way back to
bed as best he could. He soon after left
the regiment.
The antipodes of this gentleman was
an officer in the same "regiment, an
Irishman, 6 feet 2 and big in propor-
tion, but his "go" was not proportion-
ate to his size. He was too big and apa-
thetic for a cavalry captain. In fact,
his nickname, "Molly," well describes
him. One "cheeky" youngster appeared
to think he could take any liberties
with such an easy going mountain of
flesh, and in the billiard room one night
he carried his impudence beyond all
reason.
"Molly" said nothing. He simply
propped his cue, picked the offender up
and sat hint violently down on a side ta-
ble, ignorant or heedless of the fact
that upon it were standing glasses and
decanter.
It was some time before the surgeons
picked the last piece of glass out of the
impertinent one and weeks before he
could appear in the saddle again. It is
scarcely necessary to
eay a wide that

THE CARIBBEAN. -
Captain Mahan on the Strategic Impor-
tamee of the Land Girt Sea.
Causes superficially very diverse, but
essentially the same in that they arose
tiprom and stili depend upon a lack of lo-
politi+al capacity, have brought the
editerranean and the Caribbean, in
own time, to similar conditions, re-
garded as quantities of interest in the
Sphere of international relations. What-
ever the intrinsic value of the two bod-
ies of water, in themselves or in their
surroundings, whatever their present
contributions to the prosperity or to the
culture of mankind, their conspicuous
characteristics now are their political
and military importance, in' the broad-
est sense, as concerning not only the
countries that border them,. but the
world at large. Both are land girt seas;
both are links in a chain of communica-
tion between an east and a west. In
both the: chain is broken by an isthmus.
Both are of contracted extent when
compared with great oceans, and in
consequence of these common, features
both present in an intensified kiln the
advantages and the limitations,, politi-
cal and military, which condition the
influence of sea power.
This conclusion is notably true of the
Mediterranean, as is shown by its his-
tory. It is even more forcibly true of
the Caribbean, partly because the con-
tour of its shores does 'not, as in the
Mediterranean peninsulas, thrust the
power of the land so far and so sustain-
edly into the sea; partly because, from
historical antecedents already alluded
to, in the -character of the first colo-
nists and from the shortness of the
time the ground has been in civilized
occupation, 'there does not exist in the
Caribbean or in the gulf of Mexioo—
apart from the United States—any land
power at all comparable to those' great
continental -states of Europe whose
strength lies in their armies far more
than in their navies.
So far as national' inclinations, as dis-
tinct from the cautious actions of states-
man, can be discerned, in the Mediter-
ranean at present the sea powers, Great
Britain, France and Italy, are opposed
to the land powers, Germany, Austria
and Russia, and the latter dominate ac-
tion. It cannot be so in any near future
in the Caribbean. The Caribbean is pre-
eminently the domain of sea power.—

Huron ' County Christian
Endeavor Budget.
Huron county was highly praised by the
Provincial Convention at St. Thomas, we
lead the province in membership and contri-
bution to missions. Our idea of having a
ftnnion gathering for the Sabbath school and
Christian Endeavor conventions was favor-
ably reported and recommended by the
president, Mr. Hardy.
It is expected that other counties will
follow our example, ,
By correspondence the executive com-
mittee have decided that the '98 convention
will be held in Wingham, on June 14th and
15th.
The previous conventions have been helri
in the fall but owing to the wish of our
friends in the country societies and Sunday
schools the date has been changed to June.
Our friends from the rural district will,
therefore, show their loyalty to the execu-
tives by booming Wingham '98.
Samples of twenty different leaflets on
the temperance question have been sent to
every society in the county, and it is ex-
pected that many of the societies will order
a quantity for distribution If any secre-
tary has been overlooked, kindly let us hear
from you. -
Amos R. Wells gave a very forcible ad-
dress at the St. Thomas convention, on the
Tenth Legion, a movement that is receiving
special prominenenee among all classes.
The County Union would like to see a large
number enrolled during the coming year.
Notwithstanding the many requests from
time to time, some societies change their
corresponding secretary at every annual
meeting, and neglect to notify'the county,
provincial, district and general secretaries.
Kindly note then itis in the interests of
all concerned to have a permanent corres-
ponding -secretary for each society and that
person should be a business -like officer who
will attend to correspondence promptly.

Circle Nate's Streak. •
One of our neighbors, Uncle Nate, as
we call him, was greatly bothered by a
whipporwill that came nearly every
night and sat on a rock in his back yard
and sang his love song, or wl
is, until Uncle Nate was ne
One night he lay awake,
i,tever it
rly wild.
d, as he
said, stood it just as long asThe could,
when he got up, and, taking down the
old gun that was loaded wi . a fox
charge, he went to the back -'r, and,
drawing a bead on the rock, which he
could dimly see in the faint starlight,
blazed away. Then, in the pleasing
-consciousness of a good deed well done,
he again sought his couch.
In the morning his first care was to
reload- the old gun, as there was no tell-
ing when it would be needed. After
this task was finished he started for the
back yard to gloat over the mangled re-
mains of his tormentor, but whoa were
his horror and disgust to find that in-
stead of holding on the rock he had
completely riddled his wife's best wash-
tub, which was turned bottom up about
four feet from the rock.
The disappointment was bad enough,'"
but when Aunt Hannah came out and
saw the ruin, Uncle Nate afterward de-
clared, it was worse than the whippoor-
will, and he made a break for the barn,
his usual haven of refuge in such cases.

READING GOOD BOOKS.
Its not the privilege of every one to listen
to the great christian thinkers and speakers
of our time when they visit this continent.
Yet we are not entirely shut out from sit-
ting at their feet and learning their lessons.
The peen, with its nimble teeth, catches up
their news and makes them our permanent
possession. We have a few precious little
books just issued from the press of Revell &
Co., Toronto., which are specially suitable
for Endeavorers. One is F. B. Meyer's
" Cataway," a book on the higher life, most
excellently put and as attractive as a story.
Another is A. J. Gordon's " Yet Speaketh,"
which is as sweet as a nut, and as luscious
as grapes, and delightsome to muse upon.
Another is " Christ Reflected in. Creation,"

The Decline of Man.
There seems to be some uncertainty as
to the size of our great mother. The
French orientalist, Henrion, member of
the academy, however, fixed it with a
precisiou. satisfactory at least to him-
self. Ho gives the following table of
the relative heights of several eminent
historical personages:
Adam was precisely 123 feet 9 inches
high.
Eve was precisely 118 feet 9.75 inches
high.
Noah was precisely 103 feet high.
- Abraham was precisely 27 feet high.
Moses was -precisely 13 feet high.
Hercules was precisely 6 feet high.
Alexander was precisely 6 feet high.
Julius Cmsar was precisely 5 feet
THE ,UALITY
Is the first' thing to consider in Clothing. The price cooler next.
Quality means goed material well made up. It means a goad fit;
' . thing
'e than
,erence
it means good wear ; it means a genteel appearance. Our c
is distinctively qualitt clothing; the= Brice is only a little mo
you would pay for the shoddy goods, but you'll find a vast dii
in the wear and looks,
THREE POINTS.
Atmospheric Temperature.
The temperature of the atmosphere
cools, on an average, about one degree
for every 800 feet that we ascend or
warms at the same rate as we descend.
The mean temperature at the north
pole is 0 and at the equator between 80
and 90 degrees. We can, therefore, get
into a temperature , one degree colder
for every 70 or 80 Miles that we travel
north, and in a temperature one degree
warmer for every 70 or 80.miles that
we travel south.—Philadelphia Times.
There is a good deal of satisfaction in knowing that your lothes
fit you and look well. It is as important as the wearing qu lilies,
and when the three points are combined, you have just the ind of
clothing we are selling. Our stock comprises all the best li#es of
Tweeds to be had, while our Hats and Haberdashery is uneXeelled.
The price is in strict accord with the quality, and is the same to all.
