..__. "THEY PLAY ENGLISH AIRS. British Grcnadlcrs ” Snppinnlln: “ America and Dlxle." The much talked about Anglo-Amer- ican friendliness is not all newspaper and after dinner guff.” as some pes- One of the most recent of these is giv- en by the Chicago Record as follows: There is music in the air at Fort Sheridan the Record says. It comes from the quarter on the second floor to the left of the archway, facing the parade ground and floats in broken strains with frequent halts to the ears of all who come that way. Tommy in his company room hears it, laughs and says that it beats various kinds of things. He also asks his grinning bun- kie if " that wouldn‘t kill him." The officers striding along the ce- ment vmlk on their way to the adjut- ant‘s office, smile as the sounds of horn, comet and snare-drum reach their ears, and there is gratification as well as amusement in their smiles. The fact that the band is practis- ing does not usually excite much re- mark at the fort. but the airs they are playing now have sec the men talking and wondering from one end of the barracks to the other. Operatic music is as a thing forgotten. Even the "Starâ€"Spangled Banner," is never heard except at retreat. Such com- paratively recent favorites as " A Hot Time in the Old Town " and "Dixie" have passed from the minds of the earn- estly striving musicians, who are now blowing their whole souls into " Rule Britannia ” and “ British Grenadiers," in the words of the second clarinet: " ANYTHING ENGLISH GOES." The reason why the band is seeking to acquire the melodies of Albion to such an extent that it has even added ‘La 'l‘iddledy lddley Umpty Umpty Ay” to its repertoire is that the solâ€" diers of the United States army and ‘the widow’s men.” are likely to be eomuiingiy within a few weeks in Iriendly fashion and on British terâ€" ritory. l The order has gone forth; it is said, that the brigade in which the 4th is part. will disembark on its way to ltlhe Philippines in the most jealously guard- ed strongholds of Great Britain, there receiving such a welcome as has never been accorded to an armed foreign force since the redcoats first planted their flags and mounted their guns. The order conveying the route to the commanding officers of the brigade names, it is said, Gibraltar, Malta, Cairo Bombay and Singapore as the places where the troops are to land. At Malta the stay of the American troops will extend, it is said, to a period of four days. ;. It is regarded by many as significant of more than ordinary feeling of friend- ship toward lhe United States on the part of Great Britain that that Power should allow the landing of armed forces on her territories, and that by accepting the concession the United States shows her willingness to return the hospitality extended at any time that it becomes necessary. At all evonts. this is the. view the soldiers at Fort Sheridan lake of it. They are beginning to be eager for the start and lhe few books of Eastern travel in the mcagrc little library are being diligently thumbcd. Half a dozen eager hcads arc crowded at a time over a picture of lhe sterile rock off the Sicilian coast, where they guess that the British bandmaslers are now instructing their men how to play "Hail Columbia ” and " Yankee Doodle," and those who saw the streets of Cairo at the World‘s Fair are telling their ad- miring comrades what they may ex- pect to see. COULD RUSSIA TAKE INDIA ? The Problem Analyzedâ€"It “'ould Be a Formidnblc Task. Lieut.â€"Col. von Bieberstein discusses “ Could Russia Take Inâ€" dia 3" Russia, he tells us, has about 40,000 troops in Turkestan and rail communications with the Caspian ex- tending to within 240 miles of the Af- ghan fortress of llerat. She could, therefore, he thinks, seize this fortress, long before the British could reach it, and could mass 150,000 troops in and about it within two months. But then would begin the 700 miles march through Afghanisran, over high mountains. which would occupy ap- proximately thrcc. months. An im- mense amount of stores and ammuni- tion. must be carried with the army, and large cannon could not be taken at all. Moreover, [ill‘ Iinc of march, most be protected, and the army in consequence diminislwd, and, in short, Russia could not reach the borders of India with more than two-thirds of her original army. 'l‘o oppose this army the British could bring up a nearly equal number of In- dian troops, and still leave 130,000 for the maintenance of British suprcnmcy in India. In addition. their fleet, carry- ing 85.000 troops, could twice make the {purney to India and back before the ussians could reach the border. licâ€" sIdes all this, they could bc drilling the warlike tribes of lndia, and thus in- creasing their forces. Then, too. they would have several lines of dcfcncc even after the Indian border had been crosscd. and the lius- clans would be fighting for from their base of supplies. l7ni1i:csiion.ibly. how- .ver. there are Various cwnlualities that must be taken into t‘i‘ll>iiil'l‘;ililiil, as. far inslaure.

More people have been made well, more cases of disease and sickness have been cured by Hood’soSarsaparilla than by any other medicine in the world. The peculiar combina- tion, proportion and process in its preparation make Hood’s Sarsaparilla peculiar to itself and unequalled by any other.

Again, the Alghans might be induced by hopes of plunder to join the Rus- sians in an invasion of India. again, there might be a revolt in India stirred up by Russia’s friends in that empire. But, in any event, the natural conclusion is that the conquest of India would be a colossal task, requir- ing an immense expenditure of men and money, and it is almost sure that it could not succeed, certainly not by Russia or any other European power single-handed. m ART COLLECTOR.

You put your hand on a rail, you stand still, and you find, by a delightful movement, which is both exhilarating and fascinating that you are carried from floor to floor with- out the least effort. and without any of those unpleasant thrills which lifts -â€"or, as our American cousins call them " elevators”â€"â€"always succeed in giving to nervous persons. It is worth while shopping at the Magasins du Louvre lfor the sake of going up that moving ’ staircase, and nowâ€"a long way behind {our French friendsâ€"we have got one = in London. The enterprising firm that 3 has started a moving staircase on this side of the water is Harrod’s Stores, in the Brompton Road, and I think they will find it so popular that there will scarcely be a store of great trading ibusiness in London that will not be 'glud to institute the same invention. , Its carrying capacity is upward of 3,000 . persons.
