Rollicking songs may be written for the soldier to sing at camp gatherings, and, melodies with a stately swing may be composed for him to sing as he marches, but the treasury has forbidden him an official song book. Col. Barrington Foot, the mandant of kneller hall, the fine mili tary musical school, where the hands are trained to play, thought it woulda be a good thing to have a standard book of soldiers' songs, somethin i ter the style of the "Soldatenliader- buch" of the German army. Oppose 29 com Capt. Basil Hood wrote a fine, rol licking song, entitled "On the High Road," and Hamish MacCunn set it to just the kind of music that would help a body of soldiers 'along oh the march. They could sing it with a swing, and there is heartiness in the words. Mr. MacCunn gave the wil: tary authorities the copyright for usc in the proposed soldiers' song Look. and a number of suitable songs, old and new, were looked up in readines for the collection, a copy of which, u was hoped, would soon be prescaud 1) each soldier. But the treasury shook its head, nr fusing to sanction the expenditur: oi a few pence on each soldier. and 1h projéct has fallet through. Stomach Troubles.

BROADBRIN'S Letter From Greater New York. FLYING AIRSHIP IS NOW AN ACCOMPLISHED FACT, Glance Over 'Improvement in Ways Of Locomotion--New Mayor Firmly in His Seat--Trouble in Albany. Special Correspondence; Letter No. 1,392, New York, Jan. 22.--It is not many years ago since a neighbor wishing to compliment his friend, took his son between his knees, patted him on the head and said, "Ah, my boy, I hope you will be as good a man as your father." That word "vood" has a broad significance, it may mean piously good according to the church canons, or to be a good mechanici- an, or good for nothing. The boy of fifteen who does not know more ab- out the general welfare of the world than his father did at sixty. if they can find no other use for him, they had better turn him over to the Brit- ish covernment, which can send him to South Africa, and enlist him to attend to, is every man's interest now; we are not content to attemd to what concerns ourselves, but want to know what is going on in all parts of the world would naturally think, with. a city ripped up as we are, that we would have all. we could possibly think of, to get things arranged for a decent and orderly appearance amd it ought to be a matter of intimate concern what the cost is going to be, for it touches our temderest point, the pocket, yet, the first thing we turn to in the r is to learn what is ng to be final issue between we and Japan... One day you hear that there will certainly be a fight. The next day all parties scem to be move conciliatory. As some_enlighten- ment as to how this vexed question may be settled, we' learn that Japan has purchased from ' Chili two- steel cruisers, from another party, seventy thousand stands of the most improv: ed arms, several hundred tons of beef, and a mumber of shiploads of grain, a most complete preparation for peace. Ome wise in government se crets beyond his generation, deplores the possibility of war, and fears that England may be drawn into the strife, Germany is not behind in warlike: pre- parations, and if there is not a gen eral national family row, it will be little less than a miracle. One gratifying item in the newspa- pers this week is that the flying air- ship is an accomplished fact, and that the great 'French acronaut, who made his success at the French exhibition. is going~to the St. Louis exposition to give uy demonstration of his r.achine. There mow appears to be little doubt that a machine will be perfected hy the di ofy of some new prinviple, which will make the navigation of the r FUSAN HARBOR, KORBA, : Fusan is one of the most important harbors of the Hermit iingdom " and in the event of war would probably be an objective oint for the forces of both Russia and Japan. ¢ populate those desert wastes, that have been depopulated by Boers in hand a newspaper for which 1 paid five cents, and it is filed with infor- wnation. which circles th SURLY years have sce 1 x Mun- go Park's "Travels in Africa," and was filled with wonder at his des- eription of Timbuctoo. Mungo Park was not much . in advance of Marko Polo, who had given a description of those lands hundreds of years before; even as late a traveler as Stanley called it the Dark Continent, but, thanks to Ba:th, Livingstone and oth- ers, we now know Africa from Cape Town to Lake Nyanza. The continent is no longer dark; light has broken through the seemingly imperturbable gloom of her tremendous forests; the elophant, the girafie and the hippopot- amus have no longer a quiet home in the Dark Continent, they are forced to retreat before the advance of the new civilization, and it will not be mhny years before these animals will become extinct as has the buffalo on the plains of North America. It is only a few decades since the buffalo, numbering thousands, found ample feed upon these mighty plains where the pioneer of to-day raises his roof and makes his home; the bufialo has vanished at the advance of the pio- neer. Un another page of this news- paper 1 find myself reading of the her- mit kingdoms of Corea, China and Ja- pan. Within the memory of living men the kingdoms 1 have named were shut out from the world's civilization ; no outside barbarian was permitted to put a foot upon their sacred soil, their civilization appearing to them to be the most advanced, and their accomplishments all that was worthy of being known; they wanted no inter course with other nations for it brought nothing but degradation. A hundred vears have not passed since the scales have fallen from their eyes and now, in the year of grace 1904, we find Japan, whose history was a sealed book until 1840, facing the Russian Bear upon the battlefield, aud daring him power by land or sea. Although the population of Rus- sia exceeds one hundred millions, and, from the mountains of Circassia and along the banks of the river Don she draws those fighting battalions which have filled her armies for vears, and whose normal oceupation is war and slauchter, who are, as nitiless as the evelone, as merciless as the destroy- juno 'angel of pestilence. The new light which is breaking on the world illuminates all the dark laces which for untold ages have held the mighty secrets which are now Leing unveiled : The spirit of unrest is everywhere about us; men who have inherited vast fortume, cann be tempted to stay at home and enjoy them; thev must climb mighty moun- tains merely for the pleasure of say ing "I have done it"; they must bore search of the earth's buried treasures. New discoveries are sought and to-day we find steam, which we once eonced ed to be the greatest wonder of won- drous. revelations, superseded hy that mysterious power--electrieity- that reaches to the sky, and penetrates the carth: which every human being born, since God said "let there be light," has felt, and knows that it exists, and yet no mortal eye has ever seen it since creation's dawn. (One singular feature which pervades the world to-day, is "the fact that what used to be one man's business, and which he found very diffidult fo the late unpleasantness. 1 hold in my | v h | provement in locomotion. thousands of feet under the earth in.

Chase's ~ Nerve Food The heart is looked upon as the very source and fountain of life, and the slightest defect in the workings of this organ is suflicient to keep ome in constant dread of sudden and unex pected death.
