MILITARY LIFE IN INDIA.

WHAT A RUSSIAN STAFF OFFICET SAW.

A correspondent sinds to The Cineer the following translation of an extract from a Russian book entitled "Military Sketches in India," by Lieutenant- Colonel, V. T. Novilsky, Russian General Staff-

The life of the British officer in Indin presents many original, features.

The chief characteristic of it may be said to be its extraordinary sameness, throughout India, depending neither on the branches of the service to which the officers belong, nor their stations nor on chiniatic conditions. In all places and at all times the officer's mode of life never varies. This uniformity seems to be the result of two things, first the poorly developed individuality of the English man, and secondly the fact that officers An are drawn from he class only. regards the first, every Englishman in regulating his mode of life, public and private, is guided by a number of well- defined laws, which, although unwritten, are jealously preserved and handed down from gru-ration to generation and which must be obeyed by him why wishes to be a gentleman. This is their highest ideal, and therefore an Englishman never lives according to his own inclinations, but as the rest live As regards the second, English officers are recruited from young men who have received one and the same education and upbringing. Among the English officers it is impossible to detect the least difference between the officers of different branches of the service or between

staff non-combatant, combatant, departmental, officers. The English officer in India is one and the same wherever he is or whatever his occupation. The home life of the English officer is the same 49 that of any other Englishman,

Officers' quarters, in epusequence of the climate, are quite unlike ours, and generally worse than ours. As a rule they consist of detached bungalows, not very large, and built of stone, with a verandah running all the way round the house and having a number of doors opening on the verandah.

The walls are rarely papered, usually whitewashed, the floors are not always) of wond but often of stone or asphalt.

Inside the bungalow the ceilings are high, to ensure there being plenty of air, so necessary in a hot climate, but the

m generally have the appearance of barrack,

Around the bungalow are a number of out-buildings.

The size of the bungalow corrisponde with the rank and position of the! occupant, and a corresponding deduction is made from the officer's pay to defray the rent of his quarters. Married then get slightly larger quarters thun married.

The home life of the officer, especially said to be the bachelor, cannot be luxurious, in fact it is generally very plain and simple. The reason, of this is not so much lack of means, as the constant changes of station, which prevent a men burdening himself with anything that is not absolutely necessary.
