Warfare is no longer conducted on a plan where numbers only count, where gtval grmies are brouvht into the op- en and mowed down in armed colli- sion. The scout, the sharpshooter, the hero of long and forced marches-- these are in demand, and they cannot be had, in Britain at any rate, by im- positions, : The flower of the army in the future will be the men who have adopted the profession for love of it, for the perience it affords, for the opportunity it should give them to rise in the ser- vice of the kine and country.

The agitation has been renewea for the conducting of executions in pri- vate. It is necessary, of course, that a jury be its members see the tragedy in order to certify, as they do in the verdict, that the malefnctor has forfeited his life for his crime. But only the jury and prison stafl are needed, and all others should be excluded, even the press re- empanelled, and that porters, What good is accomplished by the recital of gallows' experiences ?

EXAMPLES OF SELF-SACRIFICE: The hevoes of the day are not those only who, finding themselves in dan- ger, in circumstances that call for courage, for bravery, for daring. for true manliness, act their part and do it well. chivalry is not passed, the world so nobility The age of for. ibere much of the spirit with so little appreciation of it. Per haps the commonness of passing in cidents robs them of their value, and allows them historians. Men are risking their lives every day for their fellows, and there is no hich- er type of chivalry than that which this sérvice involves. There are many who will do much for others, in self snerifice, They are the few, however, who will give up the most precious of all things, life itself, as 5 free-will of- fering in the public interest.

Change of a Big Bill With the Help of a Couple of Envelopes and Some Smaller Bills He Induced Local Merchants to Disgorge. { Toronto, July 25. --The detective de parunent has been apprised of g slick gawe and its sucoessiul operation by two retail merchants. The swindle was 'accomplished in gn almost identi cal manner in each case. A tall, well dressed individual walked into the store and enquired of the clerk if he could "be obliged with a ten dollar bill for ten dollars in small bills and change."" He said that he desired to remit the money to the United States by mail, and did not want to have a bulky package. The clerk produced 4 ten dollar bill and laid it on the counter, ana the stranger took a roll of bills from hit pocket and commenc- od to connt ten. He counted one, two, three, four, then stopped sudden: ly, wok up the ten dollar bill and slipped it into an envelope which he had taken out of his pocket, sealed it up and put it back into his pocket. He then went on counting the roll of bills. He found he only had pine dol lary in bills, and feigned a look of surprise, Fishing around in his vari ous pockets he pulled out three quar tery, making altogether $0.75. This he put back into bis purse and took an envelope, apparently identical with the one in which the ten dollar bill was enclosed and laid it on the coun ter, remarking that he would go out and see a friend of his to get the other quarter. The clerk waited for some time for his return, and becom- ing somewhat gnxious tore off the end of the envelope, to find that it con- tained nothing. TO OPPOSE THE BILL.

London, July 25.--There is a tary scandal at Windsor barracks. Lieut. Gregson, of the 2nd Life Guards who recently joined the regiment, spent much time in studying military literature, and being interested in the welfare of the men under him, he went among them studying their needs. A number of his fellow officers were an mili gry because he did not join in their. amusements, and to show their dis pleasure, they entered his rooms threw his furniture out of the windows, tore his carpet into shreds and dragged him at night round the gravel court vard of the barracks and ducked him in the trough. The voung officer's father, Maj. Gregson, who is 4 friend of lord Kitchener, has demanded a full enpyuiry into the outrage. The king is honorary colonel of the regiment.
