British and German Soldiers Compared.

Bf A, G. Hams at thh Dantzig Manoeuvres.

Watch those hussara—light lean fellows with hairless faces, riding grey horses; each man carried a lance, from which iaunted a black pennon bearing the skull »nd oro-B-bones. A nioe joy fal emblem that fitted m well with the ©mcl uteel point of the spear a few inehee higher up. They made a brave show, those lean greyhoundfaced men j yet I smiled m I looked at them, for I saw t'uat the Germans have not learnt one of the moat important lessons the South Africa® war has taught tbe world. Over one shoulder shimmered the long lance j down one hip ran a carbine ; down the other a iword. If they had fixed a gatling gun on the horse's quar ters and strapped a gatling gun to each kn®9 o! the ridor, the armament would have been complete. Yet, my masters, these are the men "who laughed at us becaase we blunder ed m South Africa, Yet even now, after two yeara of daily teaching, they have not grssped this simple fact-— tbafc a horseman who ia over armed is almost as useless as a horseman un armed. They cling to the traditions of 1871 forgetful or unmindful of tho fact that the world has moved with a giant's stride* since those days. I looked at those men s the light cavalry of their army, while waiting the coming of the King J and this I say } knowing it to be true—that if they had gone to Africa to tame the pride of the veldtsmen they would have received bo rude a shock that Germany would have gasped with Amazement, Those men catch and corner the followers of De Wet ? Not m a hun dred f ear?, not until they had learned to know that dancing pennons, waving plumes, fancy trappings, handsome batnaslesi boots, heavy ornamental saddles, and a whole arsenal of weapons carry no terrora for the lightly dressed reldtsman, whose sole weapon is his «fie, whose sole care ia bia horse. I looked at them with the keenest oara, without prejudice, and without one malicious thought. I had a splen did opportunity to examine their horses, fto note their quality, tbcir mske and shape, and all that pertains to horse ilesli. As for the men, they presented » gtady th»t I would not have missed for an ctrl's ransom. They looked beauti ful from *n artißtic point; perfect, or nearly perfect, from a epecUculer atti tude, bat they represented war as it was thirty yearß ago, not tha war of today or tomorrow. On the South African veldt they would have been mere food for powder. Their horses lacked quality ; a fort night's rough riding behind Pole Osrew or Homer over the undulating veldt with now and again a dash through rough and broken ground (for it is only m rough and broken ground th«t the Boer is ever caught,) and those German horaes, with all that fancjr arsenil upon their bicka, wonld have broken down completely, I undresied the men with my eyes ; law their build, their make, aud my thought went over the water. Again I Biw tho raw boned khaki covered figures of the British riders, ragged, dirty, hungry looking warriors, with ft sh hard almost as bone, and my blood felt warmer m my veins btcause it was English blood. Where our men fail the« 3 men could never win ; where our fiders grow weary these would break •cross the middle. Whatever is wrong with our system, whatever is amiss m our trainiog, there is nothing amiss with the men who carry the British lances, if I can tike theie German hussars as a standard of excellence, and the world will know this if tbe Teuton and tho Briton sver met m the shock of battie—which God forbid, lor the Teuton is m mmy re spects a glorious fellow— London Daily Express, ______________

Lively Scene With Bees in Transit.

There was an exciting scene at Olapham Jnnotlon reoently. Among a quantity of luggage oa platform No 6, waiting to be placed In the luggage van of a train, w*s a beehive containing bees. The train m which the luggage was to be placed arrived at the platform, and a porter waa m the acfc of placing the Mvo In the van, when th® bottom gave way.and the whole swarm ot bees flew out. The sight of the bees caused a great stampede among tbe 40 or 50 persons on the platform. Ladles rushed helter skelter, screaming loudly, down the steps leading from the plaif >rra to the subway below, while others hur riedly entered the waiting rooms out of harm's way. Meanwhile the bees contin ued flying about the platform, and many eventually departed to other pasfca of the Junction, so that within a quarter of an hour of tho mi*hap there were'beea to be seen on nearly all the platforms, and their presence caused great commoiioo, The largest portion of the swarm, however, kept to No 6 platform, and their presence caused passengers m trains entering tho Junction at this platform t~> hastily close their windows. After flying round for abonb an hour a large body of the bees oolleoted together over the railway lines, with the result that they were dashed into by the engine of an incoming train. Thia caasad another stampede among the occupants of tho platform, as the bees sgalu dispersed. Affcer a time many of the bees returned to the hive. About half a dozen persons, principally ladies and children, were atang on the face aud hands by the beea, one or two be mswhafc aeeionßly.

The Czaritza's Adventure.

An amusing incident happened at.Kiel the other day. The Cairitzi, with her slater, P* incesa Henry, visited a jeweller's shop. The news spread through the town like wildfire, and m a few minutea feandreds of people crowded the streets and blocked the doorway of the ahop. When the Czari' ss* saw this, she a^ ked the ehopkeeper whether thera was a backdoor lothehonse. He said' No.' The garden at the back of the house waa closed np by a wooden hoarding * Oh, that does not matter,' said tho Caarlti! v ; §if you lend us a ladder we wiii gat over the hoarding.' No Booner said than done. The ladder was brought, the Czaritza and the Prln eeas climbed up, and jumped down the other side into a plot of ground from which they easily gained the Btreet, and bo returned unperoeived to the Castle. The w^iiing crowd m front) of the shop were quite astonibhed on hearing that the Cztritza had returned to the Castle
