England’s Army Rifle.
Quite a number of people believe
that cartridges are served out to the
soldiers separated from one another.
Cartridges are. however, usually given
out fastened together in clips of five.
The modern rifle used by the British
army is known ns a magazine rifle
snd holds two clips or ten cartridges In
the magazine Itself ns well as an ex
tra cartridge above the magazine, elev
en rounds in all.
When the cartridge clip is forced into
the magazine the fastening is removed,
so that each cartridge when it reaches
the magazine is separate from the oth
ers.
The magazine of the army rifle is
nothing more than a detachable box
containing a spring. This spring
forces np one cartridge at a time into
its position ready for firing. As a rule
the ten cartridges in the magazine are
only used in great emergency, as when
the order for rapid firing is given to
stop an enemy's charge. In the ordi
nary way the magazine, with Its ten
cartridges, is shut off from the rest of
the rifle by means of a metal slide call
ed the “cut off.”—London Standard.
Germany's “Flower City.”
Erfurt is appropriately called the
‘'Blumenstadt,” or Flower City, of
Germany. Almost 3 per cent of the
population is engaged in commercifll
horticulture. While vegetables and
| flowers for sale are grown on a large
! scale, of much vaster proportions is
the business in flower and vegetable
seed. The larger Erfurt seed Arms
ship to almost all parts of the civiliz
ed world.—Argonaut
The First Exprass.
The express business was started by
William F. Hamden of Boston. In
1838 he contracted with the Boston and
Worcester railroad for the carriage of
packages over Its line. In the follow
ing yenr he arranged for n service be
tween New York and Boston four times
a week. He himself was the messen
ger, and he carried his packages at
first in a small hand bag, afterward in
a stout trunk.
Placing the Blame.
Simms—You're a poor sort of a club
member. I very seldom see you around
at the clubhouse. Timms--Why, I get
around once or twice a week. Simms—
Well, look at me: I'm there every
nlgbt. Timms—Yes. but you’re mar
ried and I'm single.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Political Definitions.
Ambrose Bierce, the satirist, gave at
I dinner these rather cynical political
definitions.
"A conservative." said Mr. Bierce. "Is
a statesman who Is enamored of exist
ing evils, while h radical would replace
them with others.”-Washington Star.

* BRAVERY IN BATTLE. I
_ i
After the Fighting Ha* Begun th* Offi* |
cere Give Few Order*.
An officer in our regular army yybo
saw fighting in the Spanish war point
ed out the other day that most persons
bad a very wrong conception of how
soldiers fight In modern battles.
“After a regiment has wheeled Into :
position to nttnck the foe and the ac- j
tunl fighting has begun,” he said, “the j
officers really have little to do with the
proceedings There Is so much noise,
for one thing, that commands cannot
be heard, and for this reason whistles.
In many armies, have been substituted i
for bugles, because their shrill blast j
carries better than the heavier notes
of the brass. Beyond giving the signal
for the charge the officers cnu do little.
The men. once they see the line of the
enemy In front of them, know what Is
expected of them and carry out their j
work with surprisingly few orders.
"Skirmish drills In times of peace ,
have taught the troops how to act to
gether, and It Is amazlug to see bow
quickly the men adapt themselves to
the conditions of actual battle It Is :
the corporals and sergeants who are In -
the line with the men who are the real
steadying influence In a fight They
know the characteristics of the Indl
vtdunl prlvnte In a way thnt the com
missioned officers enn never know them
and are prepared to give a calming
word to this or thnt one when the
emergency arises.
“In my own experience I have
known a private who had served three
enlistments to take charge of u com
pany in a charge, and the officers and '
uoncoms were very glad to leave It to
him. After the scrap was over he be
came a private once more, but while
that row was on. so far ns actual in
fluence with the men was concerned,
he was of a great deal more Importance
than Ills captain The way that man |
could wriggle into cover wus a revein
tlon, and he went through three cam
palgns without a scratch. His example ;
In the regiment was u big asset.
“Bravery In bnttle. according to my
experience, Is very much n matter of
temperament. Some men are carried
along by a sort of ecstasy, others hold
themselves to the work by sheer force
of will, while others- and these are the
best—go through u fight with n sort of
grim Interest os If It was a highly
amusing though somewhat dangerous
sport they were engaged In, like polo
or football.’’-New York Times
Errors of Others.
It Is foolish to pay no attention to
(toe errors of others and not to help ,
them out of them Aiding others to be
