They consist of 11,700 men, in chnrgo of nbout 400 officers, ranging from In spector general down. On Joining, each man has to spend nbout six months .learning English nrmy drill In tho depot In Phoenix park, Dublin, after which ho is sent to a barrack defended with loopholes and bullet proof piatcs, like a fortress a far fetched ldoa, bogotton of grotesquo olllclnl cowardice. Theso fortified bnrrncks aro numerous, so' that in Ireland on hardly over Is out of sight of a policeman; and tho mom bora of this Btrango forco nro train ed to look upon tho gonoral public, upon strnngors, and upon ono nn othor with distrust and suspicion. Pnsslng from tho pollen, thoro Is another unsatisfactory feature in Ireland, not a governmental but an agricultural ono. It Is a serious standing detriment to tho race, a monnco and a peril. Sixty years ago it cost Ireland tho loss of ovo'r 3,000,000 of her populnion by famlno and emigration, nnd over since, at froquontly recurring porloda, It con tinues to work havoc and misery. Tho national ovll I refer to Is tho po tato, on which tho Irish penBantry put -their chief, general Infatuated dopondonco for food. This tuber wns introduced to Ireland from Vir ginia throo centuries and a half ago by that Inveterate courtlor and pol ished plrato, Sir Walter Raleigh, who obtained In tho county of Cork a grant of tho confiscated landa of tho Gornldlnes. In course of tlmo tho people largely abandoned In fav or or tho Virginian imponauun wiuir own indigenous cerenls, wholeuomo and nutritious, and thus acquired what has proved to bo a heritage of evil, productive jf national decay, physically and otherwise. Tho po tato, with over 81 per cent of water and only a fraction of 1 por cent of either protold, fat, or mlnoral mat tor Indeed, only so much carbohy drate,, flavored with potash salts proved an Inferior subsltute for tho staff of life. It undermined tho physique of the people, and, when the crop failed in "black '47," those who mainly depend on It for sub sistence collapsed and perished in tens and hundreds of thousands. Ireland may have to wait tho will of tho British government before she gets rid of or reduces tho Intol erable burden of the police, or tho "peelers," as they popularly aro called, from Sir Robort Peel, who established them. But It depends upon herself to rid of tho potato, that innutrltlve "piece do resist ance" in her national bill of fare. She Is afflicted with far too many police and with far too much potato, and, though she cannot presenttly rid herself of tho one, she easily can thin out tho other. Editor Capital Journal, Salem.OreKon. ' A beautiful landscape, unexpected presented to view for tho first time, produces sensations of keenest do light. Visited n second time, tho. Joy of surprise, is missing and final ly all tho wonderful beauty becomes accepted as a matter of course. Ono, may como to loye tho scone but tho first thrill of pleasuro Is never qulto reproduced. Tho form of govern ment, tho homage paid; tho porson of tho kaiser, tho military air, which surrounds tho town. In brief tho nendo. (Wo learned later that a very pretty compliment hnd beeu paid the kalsorln. Tho kaiser arriv ing at the parade grounds in his au tomobile nnd having mounted his hdrso tho signal for tho saluto was given. Tho kaiser looking about and finding that tho kalsorln had not yet nrrlved ordered It to conso that she might hnvo tho pleasuro of shar ing tho honor with him. So in a few minutes for tho Becond tlmo martial music in tho dlstnnco reached jus and gained in strength as each i,g Umt splrlt WQ mom that movement of horses. Tho horsos wero mostly brown, and they kept strnightor lines than tho Infantry. As each regiment passed, tho com manding officer took, hla plnco beside tho kaiser. All tho soldiers woro supposed to pass tho kaisor thrice, but it began to rain so after tho sec ond march they woro ordered to dis continue. Wo watched tho kaiser nnd his staff depart and thou went to our carriage. All tho carriages had boon re-arranged in rows nnd tho numbers incluslvo in each line woro placed on a small Blgn board. All ono had to do was to find-tho right row and call tho number on hla card it was slmplo nnd onnblod tho crowd to bo handled efficiently and quickly. All that day whonover wo closed our oyes wo saw soldlors ami colors. But with all the glory of tholr uni forms, tho discipline of Uioir troops, nnd tho multitude of tholr numbora something our boys possess Is lack ing in tho Prussian aoldlors, It la a trait ono cannot exactly doflno, but wo could call it nbroAthat quality which makes'an Amorlcau company an organization of individuals not a mass of bodies.

A Chirteso Now I wo are in that plensurablo state of mind whero wo enjoy any new ex perience to tho fullest extent, nad be. ing thus, wo' attended tho "parado" or annunl review of tho troops of Prussia, for tho first time. Wo had procured our tickets, at a cost of fivo marks each, and ordered tho carriage to bo at tho American Woman's club at seven o'clock in thu morning. It wa3 necessary that we bo In our senta promptly at 8:30, ns tho tfarado commenced at 9 o'clock. Having no alarm clock wo retired with tho firm determination to awaken promptly nt 5:20 and as a consequence awoke at intervals of five and ton minutes duration from 3 o'clock on. Tho weather wan1 threatening so wo droSsed in com moner clothes thnn nt first planned nnd took wraps nnd umbrellas. Wo ronched tho Amerlcnn Woman's club at Just seven and wonderful to re late tho carriages woro waiting" nnd tho eleven ladles ready, tho drlvo was of perhaps 25 minutes duration. As wo drew nonr tho parado grounds ninny men, women nnd children lined tho sldownlks. They had not "das geld" to attend, and had como enrly to procure deslrablo places outside the grounds, hoping to obtain a gllmpso of tho troops aB thoy return ed from tho review. Thoy expected to Bland thoro ultll 11 o'clock nnd hnd brought sandwiches nnd other rofroshmonts to whllo away the tlmo. ThlB lino extended for porhnps half a mllo and becamo donser near er tho ontrnnco. Mounted policemen woro Btntioned nt all corners to di rect the crowd. Carriages, droschkons and nutomobllos formed a aolld lino of traffic as far na tho eye could see, and ono noticed thnt tho occupants of tho more pretentious hired turn outs woro foreigners, mostly Ameri cans.
