THESE ' CHANOiES n A VE BROUGHT ABOUT CER-' could bo moved in a comparatively short time to any point that might be seriously threatened. . . ' . Thon, as regards musketry training, certain modifications in the oouree would seem to be neoessary. For instance, volley firing, on which many of us laid great stress as a means of steadying men and preventing waste of ammunition, is scarcely practicable now, except perhaps when covering an attack at a very long range or when acting on the defensive in a carefully intrenohed position, the reason being that VOLLEY FIRING ENTAILS LONGER EXPOSURE THAN 18 COMPATIBLE WITH DUE REGARD TO COM PARATIVE SAFETY and gives the enemy too exact a knowledge of the spot at which to fire back with effeot Moreover, as a faot, the men did not waste their ammunition, as it was expected they would do under the excitement of battle, for they soon discovered that their safety depended on the ammunition being carefully husbanded. H t t i. y THEN WE FOUND THAT, WHILE OUR PHE8ENT STYLE OF SHOOTING IS VERY EFFECTIVE AT LONQ AND MEDIUM RANGES, IT HAD NO CHANCE WITH THE BOERS AT DISTANCES OF 150 YARDS AND LE88, THE EXTREME LENOTH AT WHIOH IT IS POS8IBLE TO DI8TINQUI3H THE HEAD OF A MAN FIRING FROM A TRENCH OR BEHIND COVER. ; , To bo of use at this closer range our men must be taught to fire with rapidity and to be careful to make cover after each shot, so as not to give the enemy time to aim at them in return.' MY IDEA 18 THAT THE FATE OF BATTLES IN THE FUTURE WILL BE AS OFTEN DECIDED BY THE RE8ULT OF THIS COMPARA TIVELY CLOSE DI8TANCE FIRING A8 IT HAS BEEN BY THE BAYO NET CHARGE IN THE PA8T. '. t H t Our course of musketry has already been modified to meet the changes proved by the experiences of the war to be necessary, and in the revised edition of the "Infantry Drill Book," which will be issued shortly, greater scope will be left to section leaders with a view to developing the individual intelligence of the men. These are the lesions in riflo shooting which the war has taught me. I trust that the English people will take the dearly bought experience of the war in South Africa to heart and do all that is possible to encourage good shooting in the army. No other qualifications will make up for inferior shooting. HOWEVER BRAVE OUR MEN MAY IB, HOWEVER WELL DRILL ED, HOWEVER WELL 8ET UP, HOWEVER WELL DISCIPLINED THEY MAY BE AND HOWEVER CAPABLE THEY MAY BE OP GREAT EN DURANCE OR OF RIDING ACROSS THE MOST DIFFICULT COUNTRY, ADMIRABLE AND DESIRABLE AS . ALL THESE QUALIFICATIONS ARE, THE MEN WILL BE VALUELESS AS SOLDIERS IF THEY ARE NOT EXPERTS I THE USE OF THE RIFLE. CRIMES AND ACCIDENTS.

Albert Peck, George G. Ward, Albert B. Chandler aud Wil liam !Vf. Cook. Ri spt-tiug the purposes aud prospects of the now' company Mackav said that the Commercial Pa oifio Cable company had been organized for the purpose of laying a submarine cable from California to the Philippine islands by way of Honolulu. The length of the cable will be about 8,500 miles, the part to bo first laid being from California to the Hawaiian islands. Tine portion, Maokoy expeots to be in operation within uiuemouths. The new cable when it readies the Philippines will connect at that point with the present submarine cable running from the Philippines to Jnpnn nnd also the cable running from the Philippines to China. A direot cable route from Chiua and Jnpnn to the United States will thereby be established." At present cablegrams from China to the United States have to be sent by way of Europe. Mnckay says that the present cable rates from the United States to the Philin. pines and to China aud Japan will be reduced when the now cable is laid from 80 to 60 per cent. : The remains of President .Lincoln were removed and taken to what is intended shall be their final resting place, a bed of iron and masonry, 15 feet below the base of the shaft ot the national Lin coln mouument at Springfield, 111b.

The decrease of the death rate from the census often years ago is nearly ' ten per cent. , The most remarkable feature of ' President McKinley's funeral was the stopping of all telegraphic com- ' municatione In the United States -for the period of five minutes. At the hour of 2 :30 p. m., the time set for depositing the casket in its last ' resting place at Canton, every tele graph instrument in the land be-' came silent and remiined so for five minutes. Not a tick wits heard and the first time in the history of tel- -egraphy every line and every instru- ' ocent was dead.

A Typical South African Store. O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the pro verbial "needle to an anchor." This store is situated in a valley nice miles from the nearest railway station and about twenty-five miles from the near est town. Mr. Larson 'sayS: "I am favored with' the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Cham berlain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctor's advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the popu lation is perhaps sixty. Of these within the past twelve months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, This must surely be a record." For sale by Ohas.
