NiUn Indian Soldiers.
India pays for her army, bat she does
not pay for our fleet, and it is oar fleet
and not her army which saves her from
the invasions which if we lost command
of the sea would in three years destroy
at once her commercial prosperity and
her immunity from internal disorder.
She onght not to pay extra money for a
project which is ours, but it is perfectly
fair that she should pay the wages and
expenses which Bhe would pay if the
troops were at home. Her gamson is
not the feebler, but the stronger, for a
spell of foreign work, which reveals and
cures defects of equipment, which binds
officers and men together as nothing
else does, and which, above all, gives
the fighting races Sikhs, Pathans and
Mahrattas an outlet for their inborn
military spirit. There is no education
for soldiers like a well managed expe
dition, more especially if they are men
who eniov it and if they belong to
races which tend to despondency and
fat if they never hnve anything to da
We think it quite fine if Canadian or
Australian regiments volunteer to help
us, and not to mention that every native
6oldier is a volunteer who enlists nn
com polled even by "the stern conscrip
tion of hunger," among the Sikhs and
Pathans, at all events, a call for volun
teers would be answered by entire regi
ments stepping to the front They love
the excitement of campaigning, which
to them seems life. It is nonsense to
talk of "mercenaries" in an empire 100
years old. It is as much their interest
while the empire lasts that it should
succeed in war as it is ours, and, pro
vided there is no conscription, we see
no more moral objection to calling on
her majesty's Indian than on her maj
esty's British or Irish subjects to fight
on her behalf. London Spectator.
POLITICAL NOTES.
New Words.
It is a matter of surprise that the
universality of the bicycle has not pro
duced an extensive vernacular. As a
matter of fact, the slang expressions in
general use are but few. "Bike" is sim
ply an abominable abbreviation of bicy
cle. Cyclist is a legitimate and compre
hensive word that is shorter than
wheelman or wheel woman. In France
the latter is called a "bicyclienne, " In
faraway New Zealand the awful word
"cyclodonno" has been coined as a sub
stitute for wheel woman. In many west
ern towns the fair rider is called a
"bloomer" without regard to her cos
tume. The word "scorcher, as indi
cating a speedy cyclist, is fairly en
grafted upon the language. In Chicago,
however, the "scorcher" is called a
scoot" The technicalities of the ma
chine have led to attempts on the part
of young men to com expressions.
"Your tire is punctured" indicates that
the story you are telling lacks the prob
able clement of truth. Reckless state
ments are called "coasting. " A very
ancient yarn is not a "chestnut " but a
"century." A young couple sharing a
mutual fondness are "riding tandem."
A man leading a fast life is "geared too
high. " An old fogy is referred to as a
"high wheel. " A chaperon is known as
a "Dacemaker. A cheap bicycle is
called a "gas pipe" machine, A profes
sional racer is a "pro." New Orleans
Times-Democrat .
The Captain of Ths Standard.
Charles Dickens was not a militant
editor. Starting The Daily News with
great zeaL he soon wearied of his self
imposed task and resigned the editor
ship, "tired to death and quite worn
ont " But.in this century America has
not had a monopoly of the fighting ed
itor.. Captain Hamber, formerly iu con
trol of The Standard, gave a conspicuous
example of pugilistic 6kilL "Ho had
driven down with Mrs. Hamber to the
office, leaving her in the cab for a few
minutes. While he was away the driver
addressed her in tones she did not like.
Tom, she said, when her husband re
appeared, 'this man has spoken imperti
nently. 'Get down from your perch at
once,' said the journalist The man,
with an oath, descended. Hamber based
him first on one ear, then on the other.
When the cabman squared up to the
editor, the latter slipped at right and
left into his opponent, polishing him off
very neatly." Gentleman's Magazine.
Dentil U' Folding Chain. -
There are folding chairs for dentists'
use which can bo taken down and packed
in a box made for the purpose. When
sot up, they are of the same general pro
portions as the regular chair, capable of
adjustment and comfortable. Such
chairs are made for the use of dentists
who divide their time among different
points, more especially in regions whore
the transportation facilities are limited,
as in parts of South Amerioa, and for
more convenient handling in shipment
to points diffionlt of access.--"
