Tedious Funeral Sermons. How long thould it funeral sermon be? We asked this question of half a dozen different people this week because of a conversatio» we overheard in the post - office in refcrenee to the outrageous length of a Bannon preached at a recent funeral. The general opinion seemed to be that few funeral sermons ought to be over fifteen minutes in length, At a time of that kind the less said the better. Few are coacerned, other than tbe immediate family and they are hav- ing trouble epough without being Qom. pellad to sit and listen to any lengthy service no matter how interesting it may be to the rest of the audience.

Tbe Japanese army has decided to discon- tinue the German system in the march stop and adopt a new system in conneetion with revisloa of the infantry drill book. Ac- cording to the oldsystem, infantry on tho march ought to raise the feet high and step heavily swaying the hands fore and aft. The stop under the new system is very light and the march maye be •pormanently contin- ued, as the feet are not required to be raised so high and the bands are to be freely ex- ercised. Each infantry regiment is to send it representative to the Military Model Col- lege to study the new step system. *5* Minima's Liniment Cures Garget in Caws. 4,4 Ball Player's Finish.
