IN THE SOUDAN. tioa w i fc h a German officer of high rank he found thatthafc dignitary was more gratjn >d and impressed by what he saw ab Wady Haifa linn wifch anything else m Egypt. " I could nob hire believed," be said, ll limb that small handful of British officers— bare v a dozen -alone on that far-fff station, would be able to control so large a native force (5000 to 6000), and maintain them at such a high standard of discipline and efficiency. Of this efficiency Major Griffiths gives a very striking account : " Everyone is on the qnivive; aU parts of the military^machine are m full working order, ready to act with o'ook-like precision whenever cvlled upon. All parta of the force— cavalry, guns, camel corps, minted infantry, and marching ! troops have stood prepared for immediate < service. A walk through the lineß showed me the minute attention given to all details. Close by every camel lay. its kit, a'l ready for instant use-^he.-W&fcer kegs filled, the forage bags packed, the haversacks with their quota of rations, everything needful ready fora seven days' march, all that remained was to bring the rider's blanket, told and fix it m its place, fit the saddle on top, and be off. The most suitable articles of equip ment have beeti arrived at by repeated and patient expeiim>nt J ; the saddlery, both for camels and for cavalry i 3 as nearly perfect and exactly adapted to requirements as it can be made. Ib is the same with the artillery ; the field pieces to be carried on mule or oamel back are of the most finished workmanship, w th every possible ingenious device to ensure promptitude m bringing them into action. The oamela of the camel corp3 have been purchased with infinite paiDß, at o msitlerable prices. Moat of them are white - coated, clean-limbed, almost graceful, intelligent - looking beasts, Uv superior to the larger and commoner sorts m the transport corps." There can be little doubt that the success of the campaign may, m a very large measure, be attributed to this efficient state of discipline and readiness for every emergency. Capable officers and well discip ined and properly equipped troops must always have the advantage over mere numbers.

Now, it any constituency doubted that their mem- ber had any brains, they could get his head photographed m order to see, and I would strongly advise all constituencies to have the brain of the candidates photographed before making a choice." This was a most thoughtful suggestion of the Premier. But what is the value of, brains without digestion? He should have gone'further and recommended the applica- tion of the X Rays to the digestive organs of the whole of Her Majesty's subjects, when it would have been found that those whe were m the habit of drinking ordinary teas would find the coating o^ the stomach con- verted into a sort of partially tanned leather. This causes indigestion, shortens life, and spoils the most angelic temper. Suratura Tea being as pure as the lily un« defiled, is not only harmless, but an m vigor-' ating digestive tonic, and is recommended by ALL who have used it. Note. — An impoitant omission was nearly being made m this advertisement, viz. : — The usual guarantee that Suratura Ti a is NOT blended with China or Indian Teas. JOHN ORR & Co., Agents.
