The telegrams assert that an army of 200,000 Chinese is being organized to help Japan in case of war, and China seems actually to believe, “ strange as it is, that it will be permitted to act some other role than that of the victim. It ic almost as pitiful as would be an attempted alliance between the lamb and the butcher. If Japan, aided by China, should defeat Russia, the effect would be merely to give the Mikado, instead of the Czar, the upper hand at Peking. As far as China is concerned it is merely a choice of masters. ’ And yet it is possible to conceive of a powerful military nation growing out of the ruins of the Chinese empire. Men, money and fanaticism all exist there. The Chinese are, of all nations, the most reckless as to their own lives and the most careless and unconcerned as to the fate of othe:s. Such men, properly led and trained, would make. formidable soldiers, especially if they could be animated with a little of the feeling of patriotism which stirs the breasts of other nations and makes men willing to become martyrs. ‘i The Chinese army at the present time is contemptibly weak. Lord Wolseley, writing the story of England’s conquest at Hongkong, said that the difficulty experienced by the European armies was not how not to annihilate them. Unless the army has wonderfully improved within the past few years, and there are no evidences of such change, Japan should rather pray to be relieved from its Chinese allies. China's lack of military ambition is fortunate for the rest of the world. Had that nation sought for worlds to conquer, its influence would have been most disastrous. With its wealth, its population and the autocratic power of its Yulers, no nation would have been safe. PP Prr ER THD Our Undiseiplined Soldiers. ISPATCH to-the London Mail says that the AmerA ican troops who are guarding the legation in Korea have distinguished themselves by their lack of discipline and quarrelsome tendencies. They are described as spoiling fora fight. That the latter statement may be correct is very probable. The former may be due to the inability of the correspondent to understand American methods. At the outbreak of the Spanish war European correspondents and military attaches were unanimous ‘in condemning the lack of discipline of the American soldier and were equally unanimous afterward in praising his soldierly qualities. One of the English correspondents wrote from Key West just before the army was transported to Cuba, describing in uncomplimentary terms a scene he had witnessed in which a private who was lying in the shade under a tree saluted a passing officer without rising from his recumbent position, but the battle of San Juan hill showed that the very lack of the formal, precise European discipline made the men better and more intelligent soldiers. If war breaks out in Korea and the “undisciplined, quarrelsome” soldiers at the legation are needed, there is no doubt that they will be ready to do good work. cae) By the Gas Rout San Franoisco, January 28.—Mrs. 8.

A young man in New York was deep. ly impressed with the beauties of Free. masonry and after considerable effort, mental and otherwise, had fitted him. self for the cerémony of initiation into the order. He had heard of the “goat” and the “gridiron” and many other things connected with the first degree and was prepared to be surprised at nothing. In the course of his first evening at the lodge he stepped on a tack, which stuck into his foot and gave him considerable pain. He said nothing and made no effort to remove it, painful though it was. Two hours later, when it seemed to him that there was nothing more to come in the way of initiation, he asked if he might take the tack out of his foot. His sufferings Were not ameliorated when he was told that the tack had nothing to do with the ceremonies.—New York Post. He Was Not Laconic. John Morley in his tife of Gladstone tells the story of the statesman’s examination for admission to Oxford un! versity when he was a youth. The examiner, having utterly failed to floor the candidate on some point of theology, said, “We will now leave that part of the subject.” “No, sir,” replied the candidate; “if you please, we will not leave it yet,” and proceeded to pour forth a fresh stream. The dean in Mr. Gladstone’s day was Gaisford, famous among other things for his trenchant brevity. “This laconic gift,” observes Mr. Morley slyly, “the dean evidently had not time to transmit to all of his flock.” The Heloderm., The venomous lizard, heloderm, lives in the warm zone between the Cordille-. ras of Central America and the Pacific ocean.
