No doubt in the old days when a very small percentage of the men in the ranks could read and write, it took a long time to train the private soldier; but now the edu çational standard of recruits is high, and the intelligence of Mr. Tommy Atkins is of a very different order.

He may be properly described as the last of the Mid-Victorian Eohemians, and was the oldest member of the Savage Club, the famous literary rendez the great Duke of Wellington, about vous in Adelphi Terrace.

The law seems to be administered in the spirit of the Puritans, who put down bear-baiting, not because. it gave pain to the bears but be cause it gave pleasure to the people.

It is urged that the law ought not to interfere with what the public conscience docs But whether the authorities remain stubborn or not, sweepstakes will continue their popularity unabated.
