How a Sergeantâ€" Major Helped the Chaplain MA new parson who joined at alarge | . bhome station was most anxious toimâ€"| t prove the general conduct of the parâ€" | t rde service. Amongst other things, he | 3 decided to adopt the eastward position | © during the recitation of the Creed. Only the color, who in & garrison | church are those members of the band | f whose instruments ars unsuitable for church music, would be affected, as | they alone occupied side pews. There | was no aggrieved parishioner to conâ€" | sult, and the matter could be easily arrangad at the weekly practice. But the chaplain was disappointed. The efâ€" fect, however much as it might have satisfied him as an ecclesiastio disâ€" pleased him as a soldier. His idea was to repeat the first two words himself and make a pause; then, as he spoke again, the choir were to turn as one man and proceed withthe declaration of their convictions simultaneously. But from the chaplain‘s point of view the rehearsal was most slovenly, and be confided the fact to the sergeantâ€" major, on whom he was paying & call next day. Then the sergeantâ€"major adâ€" vised. _ "If 1 might suggest, sir, I‘d just let things be ‘as you were‘ this Sunday, and I‘ll step up next practice." The chaplain gratefully acquiesced and at the next practice the sergeantâ€"major accordingly stepped up. . No possible cireumstances or set of conditions can eradicate or even dull the military inâ€" stincts of a sergeant=â€"major. . He had a short conversation with the chaplain, and then addressed the choir. *"*Now, men." The mere sound of his voice was electric. No little band boilnow lolled on the choir desk. The third fingers of the hands were on the seams of the trousers and the heads erect. Even the man struggling with the bassoon sat to attention. ‘The nrgeantâ€"m:jor‘ proceeded. ‘"When you ‘ear the ‘oly man say ‘Hi b‘lieve‘ not a moveâ€"them words is only cautionary; but when he starts on ‘Gord the Father,‘ round yer go on yer ‘eels." Then tothe chaplain â€""N .., sir, you try." The chaplain was wise enough to note that the scared words had been uttered and reâ€" ceived in perfect good faith and withâ€" out a semblance of profanity, so he thanked _ the sergeant-major , and "tried" forthwith. Success was inâ€" stant ancows. REmpress Elizabeth BDeclined to Submit Worself to Xâ€"Ray Photography. An interosting picture is drawn by Miss Emma Pentber, a nurse who waited upon the illâ€"fated Elizabeth, Empress of Austria, during the time when the victim of the assassin‘s knife was recuperating at Naubeim. In a leiter tothe Frankfurter Finanz Herâ€" ild she says among other things: "To assist in making a proper diagâ€" a0sis of the heart trouble of the royal ady, Dr. Schott, her attonding pbysiâ€" ian, made an Xâ€"ray photograph of @r. When a second attempt was nade to use the X rays Her Majesty wid: ‘No, no, professor; F‘lli not tolerâ€" ito it again.‘ ‘But, Your Majesty, it is absolutely necessary.‘ _ ‘Perhaps for you anad my brother, but not for me.

IN THE BRITISH ARMY. A mother‘s place is by no means an sasy one if she is truly interested in her children, for she muct feel that all these virtues must be contained withâ€" in herseli if she accomplish her atmost with her child. Selfâ€"control is perhaps the most difficult attribute for a mothâ€" »r at ali times, but one of the most imâ€" portant. Mothers cannot expect to see it in their children unless the child is able to see the same in them. The first lessons may be given a little babe, as in its avtempts to help itself it begins to climb and perhaps take a step and down it goes. Ilts first inclination is to cry, but the wise mother, instead of snatching the little fellow up, runâ€" ning to the window, showing a favorâ€" ite picture, or something to divert its attention, will lovingly teach the litâ€" tle one to be brave. e ie L 2 Inid ue ues Ukk por ol c 20 o dn PssA As the harder burups come to the litâ€" tle life, the being brave will grow upâ€" on him until in later life he is prepared to face the more serious obstructions in his path with a brave heart and a dependence upon self when no mothâ€" er‘s band can guide him through. The great trouble in the homes of toâ€"day is the arbitrary controlling of the child by the parents and the sudden throwâ€" ing bim upon his own responsibility, when the suitable age appears. If paâ€" rents do not watch for every opportunâ€" ity to unconsciously implant selfâ€"conâ€" trol in the babe, the child, they canâ€" not expect it to drop as a gift from heaven when he is placed where he must depend upon himself.

Williame‘ PIGS VICTORIOUS OVER A PYTHON An interesting battle was recently | witnessed by Mr. Ernest Hose in the‘ jungle at Tambak in Borneo. A young pig had been seized by a python which‘ was rapidly strangling it, when its cries brought to its assistance about twenty of its comrades.

Mass, The Relations of the Two Countries ‘n‘ Long Had Peculiarities. Ever since, and even before, the days when the Kings of France and Spain met on the Isle of Pheasants and made the treaty of the Pyrenees, one of the chief aims of the French policy has been to obtain influence and control in Spain. It was for this that France fought her two most bloody and also | most unsuccessful wars. The war with | the Spanish succession was chiefly ; fought out in Bavaria and the Low Countries, but the object of France was control in Spain. Louis XIV., in fact, defied the world, and very nearâ€" ly ruined his country by insisting on his policy of controlling Spanish afâ€" fairs. It was the same with Napoleon, Though, like Louis XIV., he did not try to annex any part of Spain after the manoer of his annexation in Italy ‘| anda Germanyâ€"hbe knew how dangerous it is to "spoil the frace" of a Spaniardâ€" yet he strained every nerve to obtain\ the control of the Iberian Peninsula, and may indeed be said to have maimâ€"\ ed the empire by his determination to make Spain a political satellite of | France. But for ‘the Peninsular war Napoleon might have escaped his final | obstacle. But no sooner was Napoleon . overthrown and the Bourbons reâ€"estabâ€" lished than the secular desire to conâ€" trol Spain reâ€"asserted itself. In 1828 aFrench army crossed the Pyrenees and occupied Madrid, and for the time France obtained complete asâ€" cendancy in Spain. The influence thus obtained bad no doubt to give way to English pressure; but it reappeared again with Louis Philippe‘s scheme for the Spanish marriages, the scheme which so neaiiy produced awar with England and seemed to promise so much for French influence in the peninsula. |___ Te o nc atiagt «e Wununulu- Napoleon TL _ always exercised a | great deal of indirect influence in Spain, and was careful to maintain the old policyâ€" that â€" of possessing what Americans call "a pull" . on the govâ€" ernment at Madrid. It was, indeed, the fear of losing French influence in Spain that nominally produced the Francoâ€"Prussian war. (The immediate cause of the war was a dispute as to the filling of the Spanish throne.) Aftâ€" er the war France was for a time too busy at home to pay much attention to \Spanish affairs, but it was with a sense of deep indignation and disgust that she learned that Alphonso XIL. had visâ€" ited Berlin, had accepted the coloneley | of a regiment of Uhlans, and that Spain was apparently slipping under the influence of the Triple Alliance. Immediately the French statesmen saw the error that bhad been made, and it became at once the avowed object of the French Foreign Office to do everyâ€" thing that was possible to conciliate Spain and reâ€"establish French influence at Madrid, Chance helped the French by the death of the King, and since then French influence over Spain has been steadily and zealously built up by every possible means.
