Gen, Sir Hector Macdonald, Who Took Waunchope"s Place at Head of the Highlan! Brigade, Was a Brililant Example of the Sncoess of the "Ranker" --Lt.-Col. Hamil ton Also Started at the Bottom. If one thing more than another should imbue the private soldier with the spirit of emulation, it is surely the record of those famous "'rankers' who fought their way upwards to the position of general, and even to that of field marshal, the highest to which any soldier can attain. Col. Sir John Lane Harrington, who was our representative at the! Court of King Menelik of Abyssinia, | rose from the ranks. Fe joined the | Irish Fusiliers, and subsequently | found himself a lieutenant of the In- | dian Staff Corps, . For three years, | from 1895 1d" T8698, he acted as vice consul at Zaila, afterwards occupying | the onerous position of British repre- | sentative in Abyssinia, where he ren- | dered invaluable service to his sove- reigh and his country. erhaps the most brilliant example | of the British officer who rose from | the ranks was Gen. Sir Hector Mae- donald, the man who saved the day at Omdurman, apd who succeeded to the command of the Highland Bri- gade when the lion-bearted Gen. Wauchope was shot down at the Bat- tle of Magersfontein. Like Col. Baden-Powell, the de- fender of Mafeking, 'Fighting Mag" revelled in a tight place. Few sol- diers coudd boast, ag he could, of haw- ing served under the same officer as private and general. In the latter capacity he held command under Field Marshal Lord Roberts, from whom he likewise recpived Bis first cominission, earned in the Afghan war, When the British, with Lord Rob- erts in command, were marching to Cabul to avenge the muvder of Cav- agoari, Macdonald was stationed in a hill fort. There a rumor reached ! intended to waylay the British eom- mander and his staff. This force the future general, them a young noun- commissioned officer, successfully lTo- cated, and with coolness, judgment} and gallantry attacked and dispersed. He thus gained his first step on the ladder of promotion, and never alter- wards looked back. So rapidly did he advance that at the age of forty- seven he was a general. But Yor his untimely end he might have attained | to still more exalted rank. Another officer who rose from the ranks was Lieut.-Col. Hamilton, who commanded the 14th Hussars. He' was for five years a private in the Life Guards, afterwards being pro- moted to the rank of corporal. Sub- sequently he received a commisison in the regiment he was destined to command, and, like Macdonald, took part in a campaign in South Afriea, acting as aide-de-camp to Sir George Calley, who was his brother-in-law. No one will be more pleased to hear that Sir William Robertson is mentioned by Gen, French in his de- spatches than King George, who has the greatest admiration for him. Sir William, who rose from the ranks, hag been Director of Military Train- | ing at the War Office since last year, | and is one of the soundest soldiers { living. For three years he was also in command of the Staff College where all our "cracks" are trained. | Another ranker was Major T. H. E. Deuncey, of the famous Faniskilling | Dragoons, formerly of the 21st Lan- | cers. Before obtaining his comnis- sion in the latter regiment he served a period of five years in the ranks, promotion coming to him in 1884. | Eight years later saw hinf a cap- tain, and in less than another eight he was, at the age of thirty-seven, made a major in one of the most re- nowned regiments of the service. Major Dauncey saw a good deal of warfare, Baving been rough the Egyptian War of 1882. © Was pres- ent at El Magfar and Mahsama, in the two actions at Kassassin, as well as the Battle of Tel-el-Kebir and the capture of Cairo. With the 21st Lan- cers he took part in the Khartoum Expedition, figuring in the meémo:- ble charge. L The case of Major R. T., Osborne, | ate senior quartermastel of the Royal Army Medical Corps, must, not be overlooked. He spent thirty-five years in the army, for ten of which be was in the ranks. His first com- mission was that of lieutenant of or- derlies, a rank which no longer ex- ists. In the Egyptian War 4f 1882 he was promoted to a captaincy and mentioned in despatches. He was made honorary major during the op- erations in the Soudan, and enjoyed the distinction of belng the only quar- termaster in the corps who had been thus elevated. Marshal Junot was a notable figure in the Napoleonic wars. If records can be relied on, his fellow-soldiers elected him sergeant on the battle- on an improviged seat of crossed bayonets for a conspicugus act of A little lator he was ordered by Napoléon to divest himself of his uni- form and go amongst the enemy as a spy.

A short time afterwards he seat for Junot to write a d bh for him, and while this was done a shell exploded a few yards away. This had not the least effect on the writer, who coolly continued his work, remarking | "At least we shall not want sand to | dry the ink." 1 . Napoleon became quite eaptivated | by the coolneas and courmge shown > Junot, and at the first opportunity nominated him as his aide-de-eamp. Still higher honors ware in store for him, and he finally became a marshal i of the Grand Army of France. a If a man gets a chanee to praise himself, he wsually makes a noise like a megaphone.

It may sound strange, but it is nevertheless true, that no brushes are every made of camel's hair, yet they are asked for daily and sold a= such, There are very many kinds of hair | used in the making of "camel's hair" | brushes, such as bear, fox, rabbit, | squirrel, ete., and, indeed, one auth- ority states that over 150 sorts of brushes are kmown as "camel's hair" brushes, but there is only one defini- tion accepted by the British Board of Trade 's hair" brushes made from squirrel tails, these being the best and most expensive Real camel's hair is absolutely ugeless for making brushes, and Te- sembles soft tow of a yellow- -brown- ish eolor; the mane of a camel is the only part which could be used, and y a dozen brushes could be made from one mane. | As a matter of fact there are only two specimens of brushes made from the actual hair of a camel in exist- ence, The reason for the term "gamel's hair' is the fact that a man named 'Camel" was the first one to make these finer kinds of brushes, and they became generally known as "real camel's hair" brushes.

Such is the sacred fire of Beheram, reputed to have been kins dled twelve hundred years ago in a temple in the village of Iodwada, In dia, This sacred fire at Beheram was consecrated by the Parsees in commemoration of the voyage safe iy completed in their migration from Persia.

SOLDIERS" y' MASCOTS. Men Going to the Front Take Curiom Champs With Them. ' A curious phase of the war is tha many soldiers have taken amuleh with them to the front. Heather is perhaps, the commonest of siich hck bringers, because many diers were presented with ob bunches by their wives and sweet hearts, and an enterprising hawke: who turned oul with a barrow-load of the growth into the West-end of London did a roaring trade with the Household and other troops.

On receiving the call, the .owner obtained "his property as soon as possible and, having pocketed a single piece from it, went off quite contentedly: Tom verted a bullet in a tight eorher in South Africa.

In consequence' of the enormous number of men enlisting in the Brit ish army and the impossibility ofl finding them accommodation in exist- ing barracks, arrangements have been made to bulld in the most ex- peditious manner thousands of hut barracks of a simple character al The work has already been well advanced, and by the end of October it is anticipated the great majority of them will be ready for occupation. Until then the trpops of the new army for whom accommodation can- not be found in barracks or billets will remain under canvas, but wil} be provided with flooring to thelr tents and extra blankets. In all the existing barracks the accommodation has been increased by nearly 100 per cent. by taking out the bed-cots and placing the mattresses close together on the floor, and by utilizing all dining and drill halls, married quarters, and reading and recreation rooms.

Living Wood That Has Seen 2,500 Stmmers. Probably the oldest trees in Eng- land ave yews. There is for instance, on" Coombe, where the famous hymn, "Rock of Ages," is Said to have been written, which is estimated to be at least 1,600 years old, and there also a very ancient one in the ehurch- yard at Stoke Pogis where wrote his "Elegy." But the yews are very closely ran by the oaks, many of the most fam- ous and ancient of which, however, are mere tree ruins, like the oak tree called "Robin Hood's Larder," and the famous ParMament Oak, both in the Midlands. These are not trees at all, but simply sheets of bark prop- ped up as remnants of historic days The Cowthorp Oak, i Yorkshire, is supposed to date from Saxon times, and it was only in 1848 that the tree fell, against which, according to tra- dition, King Edmund was marfyred. Then there is the Grouch Ouk, dt Ad- dlestone, under which Wycliffe preached and Queen Elizabeth dined The Hindus are peculiarly fond of the stately banyan. They consider its long duration, its outstrétching arms and overshadowing beneficence as an emblem of the Deity. They plant it pear their temples, and in those villages where there is no structure for public worship they place an image under a banyan and there perform a morning and even- ing sacrifice. Many of these trees have acquired an historic celebrity, and the famous Bubbeerburr, on the banks of the Nerbuddah, thus ealled hy the Hindus in memory of a favor- ite saint, is supposed to be the same as that described by Nerchus, the admiral of Alexander the Great, as being able to sheiter an army under its far-spreading shade.
