The infantry brigades, which had first, marched pastiu column or double companies with arms at the shoulder. now returned in mass with arms an the trail, and then pasa~ ed again in lines of quarter column. The cavalry, which had gone by first in squad- rons at a walking pace, returned at a trot. The fina! gallop,however,was one of Lhe most It may be recalled, as explaining this dis- tinction, that at. the basLle of Dettiugen they rescued Charles II. from beneath an oak tree. when he had taken refuge from she enemy, and ever afterwards mey have sported chaleaf when in the presence of Royalty. “Whistle o’er the lava 0’5” was Lhe air which broughz me ls: Highland Light, Infantry past, the saluting poinc,and the strains of the Scottish Lune had scarce- ly died away when “Come Back so Erin" wok their place and the 2d Leinsver Regi- ment walked briskly up. Next followed the 'ld Worcestershire, with their white helmets.after whom came the Medical Staff Corps,in whose honor the bands struck up “The Boys of the Old Brigade.” With the coming and going of the Ordnance Score Corp: and the military police the first weigh pugs was irroughc so a. clase. The lst Scots Guards were heralded with the tune “ Highland Laddie.” The Cold- streams, who were accompanied by their Maxim guns, had a stirring march played in their honor. The Blst Highlanders in their picturesque costume came next, and, appropriately enough, the inspiriting bag- pipes gave forth “ The Campbells are Com- ing.” Some relief to the long line of hril- liantcolor was afforded bythe more sombre uniform of the 4th Rifle Brigade, of which the Duke of Connaught is humeral-y Colonel, and which contingent now passed the sal- uting point. The lst West Yorkshire Regiment attracted some attention. The 2d Royal Welsh Fusiliers Were, of course, headed by the ineVitable white goat. This animal, remarkable for the length of its horns and its general comeliness, was as usual led along by a trooper, and appeared to excite not merely curiosity but eonsider~ able wonderment amongst the visitors from the Fatherland. Following the Welshman came the lat Wiltshire Regiment,who were played bya tune familiar enough in that county, namely, “ The fly is in the turnip.” The massed bends struck up “ We'll all go hunting to-day," as the 2d Leicestershire Regiment pun in an appearance. The various contingents, it should be explained, were usually played past by the massed bands of their brigade. which took up a position opposite the saluting station, and generally found some appropriate air for each regiment. The 2d Cheshire were headed by their pioneers, with axes and trenching toole. Conspicuous in their hel- mets were small STIBRING MUSIC. During the inspection of the cavalry the bands struck upa tune which dates from the time of the Thirty )‘ears’ War,snd which is a. great favorite with the Emperorâ€"namely, “The March of the Fin- land Cavalry." After the inspection the Emperor, with the Duke of Connanght, and attended by their suites, rode back to the saluting point, where His Majesty. speaking in German, engaged in s prolong' ed conversation with the Duchess of Con- naught, who, with her children, occupied'a carriage on the groan). The march past then commenced. Heading the column were the massed bands of the cavalry brigade. who took up a. position opposite the saluting point and played s. Prussian march as the artillery and cavalry passed by. When it came to the turn of the 1st Dragoons to come up to the saluting station, the Emperor himself rode out and, amidst the keenesn manifestations of interest, took his place at the head of the regiment. Having led them pant, he rejoined the Duke of Connaught, and resumed his close scrutiny of the various moving colunms,‘ squadrons, and batteries. The Scots Greys, who made a strong show, came up to the tune of “The Gsrb of Old Gaul." The Grenadiers, who msrched as one man, evoked Public interest in the movement; of the German Empercriu England wen on M onâ€" day transferred from Cowes 10 Aldershol.

The Duke of Commught rode on ahead in order to formally receive the Emperor on the review ground, where for some hours past the 12,000 men who were to take partin the day‘s display had been assembling. At twenty minutes pus: ten o’clock, the Duke of Couuaught appeared on the review ground. The German lm- perial Standard, with the iron cross, was hoisted on the flea-smi at the saluting station. The Emperor galloped on to the field, his silver helmet glittering in the sun- light and his black plumes waving in the breeze. His Majesty who wore the ribbon of the Garter. looked remarkably soldier- like in the handsome uniform of the Royals. As soon as he had taken his place at the saluting point, there wasa Royal salute, followed by the presentation nf arms, whilst the infantry massed bands played “God Save the Queen.” His Majesty, ac- companied by his staff, and having been joined by the Duke of Connaught as Gener~ al Commanding, proceeded to pass down the line for the purpose of inspection.

They Should Rough It. Evidence multiplies to sustain the belief that tuberculosis is developed most readily in warm modern stables and under what may be called hot-house oonditions. A writer in Country Gentlemen, in speaking of a. cue at Lenox, Muse, in 1888, when thirty-two cattle were destroyed, says: “These cattle were kept in a new born built only after careful study into every detail. Stables were light and clean. Water was supplied in each stall. Even the moat rigorous snap of a Berkshire winter failed to produce a freezing temper. sture in these stables, and for days at a time these cows remained inside, where they were Well groomed and supplied with the best of feed and water. The warmth and comfort oi these stables seemed to pm» vide hot-bed conditions for the nurture of the tuberculous bacilli Berkshire county has had at least Six serious outbreaks, or rather developments, of tuberculosis since, all of which have occurred in herds of cows kept in costly barns of modern construc- tion, with the best of care, and I know of no instance where catLle left to ‘rougn it’ have been troubled except in molated oases which were easily traceable to here- ditary inoculation.” to get mates for us forelorn bachelors, But it may have to revise this belief, and bid higher. If it takes statistics as s guide it will find narrow basis for the theory that the United Kingdom has a big surplus of womankind. But perhaps it proceeds upon the fact that. there is a large visible supply of unmarried women. This is because there is a. large visible supply of unmsrried men. But, again, the West Australian Government may assume that these two visible supplies do not be- come one for the reason that, the men are coy. That is open to question. However. Western Australia opens its arms to the fairest that chose to seek a, shelter there. It will be likely to have to throw in a. large dowry than s. free passage and ice blessing to cause any great rush of the flower of British womanhood to its shores. Why does it. not oller three acres and a cow, or some other substantial prize? France, and the old trading companies Lo which she turned over the early government of this colony, had more gallantry than to ask any lady to some out here for the mere reward ofa free passage and a husband. Lend was freely bestowed, yet bachelors here had to pine in solitude because of the re- luctance of their countrywomen to embrace so dresrya. life. But.

THE TIME OF THE (:REAT HARRY, built by King Henry VIII. It. was a pon- derous construction and not unlike some of the armored babble ships of today in style. The guns, however, Were “ pop guns :’ com- pared to the mammoths of to-day. This was really the first great; warahip and was the model on which Spain built her Armada fleet, which three centuries ago attempned to invade England, and was quickly dis- persed, defeated and almost, totally destroy» ed by the English fleets under Howard of Eflingham, Sir Francis Drake, Frohisher, Hawkins and other gallant sailors who had no fear of Spanish galleons, and much love of Spanish prize money. Round the coast the Dans were chased by the small British cruisers, and Spanish ships were destroyed as far north as Flamborough Head, in Yorkshire, when lack of nmmunihion called the English 01?. ‘ "Jack dances and sings, and is always con- bent: ‘ In his vows to his fans he'll ne'er fail her: His anchor‘s amp when his money‘s all spentâ€"â€" And Lhifi is the life of a sailor.“ One would hardiy expect to hear these cheerful sentiment/s from a man who had been knocked down by a press-gang, load- ed with irons, and stolen from his wife and family. And yet these songs were sung in battle to victory again and again, and long before the “Jacks” had hammocks to swing between decks, or tables were thought of for the meas, before obey even got decent food, but the best. of grog. The Royal Navy of the British Empire may be Said to date from ‘ Tlu‘ “'nmlnl Willis are Changed But No! the spirit of [he Crow<-5tricl Obser- vance of Naval Ethncue. The introduction of steel armour into the navies of the World has made many changes in the life and training of the blue-jacket of ‘he present day, in the Royal Navy. The departure of the graceful old wooden three deckers and fast frigates, “ the eyes of the fleet,” as Nelson called them. with their towering masts and bewildering network 0; ropes and spars will always to the old salt remain ssonrce of regret. Heroic men will. as in the past. command and man the armorelads, and do as brave deeds in the future for the British Navy, as when 8. Howard, 3 Drake, 3 Blake, 3 Jarvis and 3. Nelson led the van of their fleets to victory. The typical “old sea. dog” has gone out with the wooden walls. But so has much of the brutality which the seamen had to endure a century ago. Ibere is little like- ness between the life in the ships of to-day, and when the press gangs flourished and men were kidnapped to fill up the ship’s compsny. According to Marrynt and Smolâ€" lett, the cruelties that were practised on those old warships are not, however, to be charged to the officers alone. The Govern- ment and the Admiralty had a. good deal to ‘answer for. And yet, notwithstanding all their hardships. the sailors oi the old time ~â€"sueh is the influence of the sea, such its freedom, and such the wonderful stimulus given by Salt air to the imaginationâ€"were able to sing those hopeful and vociferous songs in which a little cherub is stated to be sitting up aloft keeping Watch over poor Jack.

"BRITANNIA" HAS “RULED THE WAVES,” A wind of desth-no other name can de- scribe the cycloneaswept across the Sea. of Azof the other day. It will be impossible fordsys yet to compute the damage done, but it is almost certain that; at least 1,000 people have perished, some by drowning, others by being crushed under falling houses and trees. The wind was first felt at Nogsisk. Ncgsisk is peopled mostly by fishermen. who were out on the water. When the hurricane had swept out: to the north 3. terrible scene was presented. The village was raised, overturned as if an immense plough had been pushed through it. Lying everywhere were women and children dead or in the last sgonies of death. The shallow waters of the Sea. of Azof Were lashed into such a. height. that it was plain that every fishing boat must. have been sunk. The cyclone swept on to the north- east, 'after Wrecking Nogsisk. Its path seems to have been unusually wide, for at Marinopsl it devasbed the country to a point ll miles in-lsnd and its outer edge far upon the sea. Morinopsl was practically blotted out. oi existence. Not three houses in a hundred are left. standing. It is estimated that over 200 perished in this town alone. North of Merinopnl the storm seems to have made a. sudden turn to the eastward over Dolgspoint, its left edge inflicting slight damage to the town of Berdimsk. Houses there were unroofed. and a dozen persons Were killed by falling timbers. Once at sea. the storm made its full fury felt. Of the steamers that Loucfled an Ber- dimsk not one had come in at the hour of the latest report. Grean fear is expressed that. every craft on the sea. has gone to the bottom. and that every passenger is drown- ed. When the wind swept. over the north~ em end of Azof it took a. newcaurse. going southerly along the coast of the land of the Black Cossack. In turn E131: and theuv were ravaged, each town being almost totally destroyed.

Sometimes the captain and the admiral live very much together. Usually their quarters, which are in the stern of the ship, are so arranged that they can be thrown into one set of apartments. The admiral and his fleet captain ought certainly to be on such terms of friendship that living together would be a pleasure. But there have been instances where a short experience at sea. has been quite enough to master what had seemed to be a. friendship ashore, and to effectually close the door between the cabins oi admiral and the captain. Then the two would not speak until the end of the cruise, if they were compelled to remain together for to long a time. life between decks includes also that of the ofiicers. They have a fairly good time of it in every port. they vis‘n, wibh the sum- mer girl. Unlike Lhe “ tars” the ofiicers messes are considerably distributed and on a. flagship are numerous. The Admiral and Captain have each a separate mess. The wardroom and gunroom officers, ovar whom the senior officer presides, have decidedly the best of the captain and the Admiral, for they have some society, and even quar- relsome society is preferable in certain moods of the human mind to solitude. But the captain keeps to his cabin, which is guarded by the marine, and both he and. me admiral are surrounded by a. mess of etique'cbe. \Vhen ahe captain grows tired of reading he can smoke and console him- self with the reflection that when he is admiral he will have his staff mess with him. When he grows weary of reflecting on she glories of sdmiralhood, he can play solitaire, and when he is tired of that. he can denounce his own idiocy in yielding to such an amusemenb. The wardroom of~ ficers during the Crimean war the fleet. in front of Sebasmpol was joined by several gun- bouta of the most dimiuumve type. An officer of one of the war vessels had occas- ion to visit. one of these mimic boats, and, ranging up alongside in his barge, steppgd from his barge,(which was nearly as long as the boat he W38 visiting) over che port quarter of the gunboat, when the lieuten- ant in command, in a. tone of inauICed dignity, informed him his vessel had a gangway, in being the proper thing for of. ficera to always encer a vessel by the gang way. His vessel might, be no bigger than a. yaw}, but so long as it was in commission he did not propose to have any of the usual rules of etiquette omitted. AND GUNROOM )UDSHIPMEY A WIND OF DEATH.
