At Pokfulum a large tree was blown down and completely blocked the road to all vehicular traffic, but a gang of coolies was to-day engaged in chopping up the obstruction which will soon be cleared. At Bamsuipo a military telegraph pole was blown down, and the wires damaged, while an astern Extension Telegraph Com pany's pole was also blown down at the same place. At No. 112 Samsuipo Road a fire broke out, through sparks being blown from the kitchen, where fead was being cooked, into a storehouse filled with pigs and dried grass. The dried grass was soon in flames, but the pigs were got out, though some of them were terribly burnt and bad to be destroyed. The duties of the Fire Brigade were here assumed by the elements, as the deluge of rain which at the time commenced to fall extinguished the flames before they could spread to any of the near-by matsheds.

1857, when, owing to the mutiny of the native troops in India, our hold upon the country was only retained by an extraordinary effort.
Ever since the Mutiny, that is for nearly fifty years, the forces at the disposal of the Government of India have been maintained in the proportion of one European to two native soldiers, in order to guard against a possible recurrence of a like danger; they have been so placed in cantonments and most readily to Bupport the civil power in the administration; a feeling of mutual dependence between the native and European troops has been preserved and the Civil Government has felt secuse, having an army ready to support it at every point. In addition, the army has been pre- pared to assume offensive action, in the defence of the frontiers of India or in expedi tions "over sea" whenever required.
Since 1873, and especially since, the war in Afghanistan in 1880-1, the army in India has been threatened with the possibility of encoun tering a Russian for, aud has been gradually brought to a standard of efficiency that has placed it on, an equality with any European army in equipment and training.
Hitherto the principles that have guided the Government of India in the organisation and administration of the army have been generally approved, but the policy now accepted is to concentrate the forces on the North-West Frontier of India, to train them primarily for war beyond the frontier, and to assume that a war, such as is foreshadowed to resist a tus stan invasion, is of paramount importance in considering the defence of the Empire.

The German ladies from the Baltic provinces form the exception, and it is from Finland, Livonia, Esthomin and Courland that the gay circles of the capital receive their chief supply of beauty. It may be owing to this, that the Russians have so high an opinion of German beauty that they rarely withhold from a Nyem (a German woman) the epithet of krassivaya or beautiful. The ladies at St. Petersburg, though in such great demand on account of their scarcity, are liable, from the same cause, to many inconveniences.

ON NAVAL CANTEENS,
Canteens and the ration question are coming to the fore again. With regard to the former, we seem as far as ever from hitting upon a satisfactory system, says a writer in a home paper who apparently is unaware of the work ing of the canteens for the use of the Army and Navy in Hongkong. The very best man- aged canteens in the Navy, probably in the whole Services, are those at the different Royal Marine barracks. But they have the obvious advantage of being permanent, where those afloat exist only for so long as the ship is in commis ston. 1o running these the writer states that there is no uniformity of method. Some are managed by a Committee of the Lower Deck, others are let to contractors, who make what profit they can. Neither method gives satis faction to the men.

PICTURESQUE HEADGEAR
All the Jewesses in New Russia and in Little Russin, as far as Gallacia, wear a huge stiff and very unbecoming cap, the foundation of which is usually of black velvet, over which is formed a complete network of pearls and this orna- ment they call the "mushka With rich and poor alike the mushka is always nearly the same in form, the only difference-heing the greater or less value of the pearls and, oc casionally, other precious stones attached to it. A girl in this way often carries half her fortune on her head, for these caps are generally, worth from Sage to $500, and some of them are even valued at several thousand dollars. The mushka is worn alike on holidays and working days, in the kitchen and on the promenade, and the head is often seen resplendent with pearls when all the rest of the costume consists of comparatively mere rags. This fashion gives rise to a very extensive trade in pearls at Odesss, Taganrog and other ports of the Black Bea. Within the geographical limits in which the mush a is worn there are
supposed to be about two millions of Jews Now, supposing that among them there are only three hundred thousand adult women, and that only half of these wear muskas though in point of fact nose but the very poorest and the few who affect an aristocratic tone are ever to be seen without the distinguished ornament, and supposing that on an average each is only worth $250, this calculation alone will give us capital of nearly $40,000,000, invested in the caps of the Jewisses of this part of the world.
