Due of tlie many unexpected discus »Ions arising from the South African war touches this matier in Its military aspect. The ready deference of the uu educated English private toward bls officers has iuduced lu some oi the util cert au attitude of kindly but arrogaut personal superiority. But the Colou.aJ soldiers, although obedieut and well- drilled. aud although they fully accept their officers’ rights to command them, regard the right as professional ouly. They do not consider that it implies a superior manhood. They will uot endure bullying or swaggering or slanging, aud they re­ sent superciliousness. They are. lu short, like our American soldiers, re- spectful aud self-respectful; and the re­ luctant authorities have found that in- stead of greater Itidepeudi uce Impair­ ing their usefulness, their greater init latlve has made them more valuable thau the maehlne-llke, home-trained Tommy Atkinses. As a result, there Is a growing opin Ion that England's seuilpaterual, semi- contemptuous attitude toward her pri­ vate soldiers, which has cheerily tick eted them the world over as "absent­ minded beggars," plucky but Irrespon­ sible, Is neither wise nor fair.

If the Blood is Impoverished Diseases Which Often Puzzle Doctors are Inevitable. Frow» Thf Tribune, H'cbtter fa. Physicians are often puzzled by an ailment that does not yield to the usual remedies, patients are caused much suffering and expense while experi­ ments are being tried upon them, when in many cases the sent of the disorder is in the blood. If this vital fluid is impoverished di-esse la sure to follow. Build up the blood, the diseased part is nourished aud stieugthened, and health results. This is the simple his­ tory of what often appears to be a com­ plicated case. Mr. Ezra Edwards, the well-knowu merenant of Webster City, Iowa, passed through sucn an ex;wr- lence. He says: “I have always believed that my ^rouble was due to the impoverished condition of my blood.

He originates nothing; he takes what he finds without assimilat­ ing It. and remains profoundly Turkish. He leaves no trace of his occupation except ruins. Practically there la noth Ing at Belgrade, Sofia, and Athens to show that for centuries they were Turkish cities. All occupations, except agriculture and military service, are distasteful to hint. Yet there are two other charac­ teristics even more Important than these. The first Is his sense of disci­ pline. It Is thia which keeps together the apparently tottering fabric of the Turkish empire. It makes the half fed, halfdotber soldier ready to endure every privation, and prevents the cor­ ruption and Incapacity of the officers from prisluclng the anarchy which would ls> inevitable In any other coun­ try.
