LOTS OF VOLUNTEERS
The British Corps Numbers 250,000
Unseasoned lien.
They Have Never Bera »ervlee, flat

-Th« Moaorable Artillery
and leontaary.
The British volunteer corps as it ex­
ist* to-day ia the result of an enlist­
ment act of 1M0, the act, in turn, being
the fruit of a fear of invasion in that
year. The volunteers number roughly
250,000 men, cost the government a
trifle over $3,(XX),00u a year, and none
of them ever has seen service. That is
to say. the volunteers as a body have
existed only since 1860, but there are
two or three regiments which date
back far, Indeed, notably the Victoria
rifles and the duke of Cumberland’s
sharpshooters, which were in being
when William IV. w as prince of Wales.
Older by far, however, is the Honorable
Artillery company, which received a
visit from its American offspring, the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery com­
pany, of Boston, last year, and which
will repay the compliment by making a
trip to the United States this year.
As he will be a regular when in the
field, the British volunteer will be treat­
ed as one. He will receive "Tommy’s”
pay, which is about “30 cents a day and
found.”
He will eat Mr. Atkins’ ra­
tions a pound of tinned meat and
half a pound of fr*-«h meat, when it can
be had, fresh bread or crackers—hr will
call them “biscuits”—and sugar, teu
and coffee, when possible.
His kit.
blankets and great coat he will furnish
himself, but thr government will trans­
port h.m to the scene of action.
Friends and advocates of the volun­
teers and yeomanry say that those
branches of thr service have been dis­
couraged, sneered ut aixi generally sat
on by th? war office ever since th«ir es­
tablishment, and that their acceptance
for service now may be regarded as a
great victory, giving ta L«»j«l I.ands-
downe thr credit for th? new order of
things. An officer connected with th?
war office tohl me, however, that- th«*
hubbub was entirely without reason,
that all the noise was made by a few
malcontents, and that no change what­
ever hud taken place under Lord Lands-
downe’s iidminlstratlon so far ns the
volunteers were concerned.
On the
other hand, jwople who have no par­
ticular interest in the volunteers say
that their bring permitted to takt* part
in the war at this time is a direct insult
to the militia.
At any rate, it can never be said that
thr volunteers, to whom was given that
chance, were slow to accept it, ns a
score or more of commanding officers
throughout London and the provinces,
who are being harassed to desperation
by every individual member of their
commands, can testify. Men have al­
most taken to figuring on their chances
for going with paper and pencil. For
Instance, I have heard volunteers say :
“There are 1,000 men in my battalion,
and there will !»•• lio chosen; that givt r
me about one chance in ten. Then my
record for marksmanship is so many
points, and marksmanship is going to
be Hit* deciding test, and the general
average is about so much,” etc. When
the fortunate 110—“fortunate” is the
v«>lunt?<‘rs’ word nr? told off there is
going to be actual bitterness.
The venerable organization of hon­
orable artillery and yeomanry W»K
formed by Henry VIIL, in 16d7 for, as
the king quaintly put it, “the better?
rncrease of the defense of this our
realm.”
This company, then, was
formed mor«* than a full century before
any other existing corps; it was in gar­
rison ut Tilbury when Drake met Phil­
ip’s Armada; it fought under (Tom­
well in the.civil wars and was almost
wiped out by the great plague. Later,
half of its barracks was destroyed in
th«* London fire. Sin«*? its beginning it
has takeu part in all public ceremonials
and all crownings of sovereigns of
England.
The Yeomanry, 10,003 of whom will
be selected for service In South Africa,
ilatca bark as a force much further than
th«* volunteers or militia.
The Ye«>-
mnnry consists entirely of cavalry, and
its members ar? mostly country gentle­
men who are in tin* saddle much of th«*
time. They are obliged to furnish their
own mounts and equipment, and art*
drilled much more severely and fre­
quently than either of tin* other two
brunches of volunteers. Their total ia

“Whitt’s he watching the clock for?”
a visitor at the aquarium asked of an
attendant, referring to the smallest
of the three harbor seals there, the
one with the blackest coat. It was up
on the platform st thr end of the pool,
with its eyes apparently fixr«l on the
clock that is secured to the front of
the railing round thr gallery.
The
hour was about two minutes of four
o'clock, says the New York Sun.
"Hr’s waiting for thr whistle tx>
blow,” was thr reply, am] it certainly
did seem as though thr IDtlr blnrk
seal was watching for something.
The seals all know well the sound
of the four-o'clock whistle, for that
means their feeding time has coinr.
'Die whistle is the signal of thr clos­
ing hour of thr aquarium, am! the
seals are fr<! immediately.
As thr |M*opl<* set their fares toward
the door thr seals daah and slash an«!
prance about in their pool, and jump
up half or three-quarters of their
length out of thr water and look over
the railing, watching am! waiting for
tlir man with thr food. As hr walks
along the pool toward th? pint form at
the end the seals rush on the plat­
form to meet him.
Ji may hr that the littlr black fellow
just happened to be up there at that
hour, an«! that it waa looking at th«*
elock just by chance, and that it
couldn’t tell thr time by it at all; but
th« seals nil know sure enough the

A KNOTTY CASE.

A Uganda woman had married three
husband* at different times, and had
bail a son by one of them the second,
says a writer in Blackwood. The fath­
er unfortunately dir«!, and the other
two quarreled als.ut the possession of
the son, who meanwhile live«! with his
mother. As soon as he was old enough
to take law into his ow n hands the buy
elected to live with the first husband,
and left his mother to do so; thereupon
the third buslkand raided the first, car­
rying off ten head of cattle, and, as if
to still further complicate the case, on?
of the cows calved on the road. It now
fell to my lot to decide with whom the
boy was to live, and wbut was to become
of the cattle.
So much evidence was produced that
I became utterly confuse«!, especially
when the mother crawled in on hands
and knees to give evidence ns to parent­
age, In which, by the way. she wav flat­
ly contradicted by her offspring.
1
finally decided that the Imy was to live
with the first husband, and that half
of the row > were to hr returned to him,
the remaining half, with the calf, be­
ing kept by No. 3.
At tills decision
No. 1 was delighted, hut I could never
make out why, as fl ve cow a. ev en with­
out a calf, are usually valued far above
any mere human body in Africa.

A private soldier in the »Second bat­

Hom? of the Boers at least is better

Party gowns for Samoan girl« grow
on the tropical treeM and almost ready
for wear, says the Indianapolis News.
When a native beauty of Samoa decide»
to go to a spe.-ial entertainemrnt she
enters the forest to look for her gala
attire. The native kiki, or kilt, is the
only addition to her oidinury costume
that the Samoan girl provides for spe­
cial parties. The material for the kiki
{rows on the tree. It consists of a rib-
Imn of bark a few inches wide that is
stripped from the tree easily. While
«lamp the bark, which is very thin, is
crinkled so as to form wavy outlines,
and the ribbons are colored all sorts
of bright hues. Th. Samoan girl then
plaits a waistband from the same kind
of bark and hangs the ribbons on it.
Handmade Howers of the sauie material
ar«* often added alno.
When the kiki is completed the dusky
belle puls it on over her scanty laval-
hvii , or waist doth, and goes to th«*
dance or other entertainment.
I.’he
girls thus make «their own party
dresses, and some of them show great
taste and skill in fashioning the old
garments, although the captious might
allege that they might, without being
overdressed, have Samoa on.
