The systematic military and gymmastic training of the able-bodied,youth of the Empire ought, in a few generatións, to produce results as marked as those of the military system in Germany increase in stature, in average ginhof chest, and in muscular development." Lord Charles, Beresford, a more recent observer, tells us. The remark able increase of the physical development of the men who serve in the ahny is worthy of notice. It was to apparent that I questioned the elicers as to the reason It we are still to cling to the old feal of Alens sana in corpore sand, it would seen that here militarism is really doing good service.

THE DRILLED ARTISAN,

Morally, militarism is not the corrading in fluence which is is pictured to be. Sous-offs and Bivio may be correct pictures of the dessous of the French army, though even that I doubt; but if so, with men such as the forgers of the French. General stuff as the head of that array, what are we to expect? Is it not at length possible that the notion is rosten and has produced an army which corrupts instead of educates Von der Goltz's saying seems to gain a new force. It may be that France, in copying Germany, has not adopted the system which she needs. But the Germany of to-day the idea of reducing map to brate machines has been abandoned. Efforts are made to develop their intelligence and will-power and already the consequences are beginning to be seen in German industry. The iron trades delegates who some years ago inpected German workshops were greatly struck by the order, obedience, and discipline which prevailed among the men Di Inglis,

in his address to the Institute of Marine En- gineers last January, urged that the disci pline undergone by young Germans in the army has a powerful influence, since it produces habits of order and respect. To these epi nians we may add the testimony of a competent German authority on sanitation. Professor Jager writes: "That the States which have devoted attention to the rapid development of national military training have not, as had been predicted, ruined themselves, but advanced at a stupendous rate, is a fact known to all Nor is this phenomenon unnatural, for military training promoted health, and health is living capital,

More important still is the strengthening of the nerves attendant upon such service. The man with a military trains ing is much more plat, quicker to decide and quicker to act, than the person who lacks such schooling. All this increases his capacity for work, and gives him an advantage, intellectual as physical, over the State cripple (the as' well man who has for some, defect been rejected from service]." This is in thorough accord with the fact that the expectation of life in Germany is steadily rising.

If there is anything in the evolutionary theory of politics and organic life, it does look as though the immense army, which averts war

and improves the nation's health, were the

natural antidote to the strain of modern life, and as though the. Powers which do not thus train their youth would suffer. I have said nothing of the work which armamen do in preventing war and guarding the national life," as this is quite obvious. Are we sure that pro- gress lies in abolishing this practical training for the body and the nerves?WATE

Herr Schippel the Socialist deputy for Chemnitz, has recently protested against dis- anmament, which, he urges, is the idea of the bourgeois and Radical, and which could in evitably increase the difficulty of the economic problem, by augmenting greatly overproduc: tion.

His letters were intercepted, till he thought himself abandoned even by his own family. Of the awful physical torture of the irons, A. lénonceau writes thus:

Du Paty de Clam had concocted the Weyler forgery in the hope, which was not mistaken, of rendering more rigorous the treatment of Dreyfus. For Du Paty de Clam, like the athers, had need of the death of the con demned man. The Libre Parele indulged in menaces and spoke of attempts at escape. Rebon, terrified, wished to avert the attacks of the Anti-Semites, and gave arders to put Drey. fus in irons. When the telegram was received the little forge of the lle du Diable was lighted, and they undertook to manufacture as well as they could the instrument of torture.

Lében admits he took alarm Accordingly he telegraphed ordering Dreyfus to be detained within a hut "in double night irons," and the hut to be "surrounded by a palisade, between which and the hut a sentry was to be stationed." The irons were to be removed when the palisade was completed: but the explanation goes on, "the building of the palisade took longer than was expected? correspondence of Dreyfus was interfered with because of "irregularities." M Léhon protests that the revisionist campaign had not begun when he ordered these Dings, that everyone believed Dreyfus to be guilty, and that he only did his duty as Colonial Minister. His feeble apology in answer to the charge of having sanctioned inhuman cruelty is the latest "sensation to which the Dreyfus case has given rise. No doubt there are more yet to come.

DEATH OF THE TSARIVITCH.

The Grand Duke George, heir apparent to the Russian throne, died yesterday morning, at half-past nine o'clock, says the Pall Mall Gazette of 11th stant, at Abbas Tuman, in the Caucasus, from sudden and excessive hemorrhage of the throat. Though little had been published lately about his strie of health, it has been well known for some years that his Imperial Highness was in a very precarious condition, and that the best medical authorities could hold out little hope of his recovery. The Grand Duke was born at Tsarskie-Seloc, near St. Petersburg, on May 9, 1871, and was consc- quently three years younger than his brother Nicholas fl., the present Emperor. As a child he was not very robust, but there seemed to be no organic defect in his constitution, and it was hoped that, with proper care and due attention to sanitary conditions, he might attain the physical strength for which the Romanoff family have been remarkable for several generations. These sanguine expecta tions, says the Times, were not to be realized. When be reached the critical age of twenty he began to show symptoms of a tendency to pulmonary consumption, but the symptoms were not of so grave a character as 10 incapa citate him from pursuing his caror as a naval officer, to which he was warmly attached. When his brother Nicholas, who was then Tsarevitch, undertook his voyage round the him unofficially as a naval officer, but when the world in 189, the Grand Duke accompanie squadron was at Bombay it was found that he was suffering from a mild attack of Indian fever, and the most eminent medical authorities consulted gave it as their opinion that he ought to return at once to Europe, as there was no reasonable probability of his recovering bis strength in a tropical climate. The two brothers, who were warmly attached to each other, were thus compelled to separate. The elder curtailed his Indian tour in order to spend a few days quietly widr his brother on board ship in Bombay harbour, and Prince George returned at once l'Europe. On his arrival it was found that the pulmonary symptoms ided that for some time to come he bad become accentuated, and the must spend a great part of the year in a mild climate. From that moment the life of the Grand Duke has been that of a confirmed invalid. After trying the climate of Northern Africa, be settled at Abbas Tuman, in the Caucasus, from which place, his death is now announced.

The Grand Duke was nominally chief of the Horse Artillery of the Guards, Ataman of the Don Cossacks, Chief of the Cossacks of the Ural, and of the Irkutsk Regiment of Infantry

but his real career was that of a naval officer,

and in that career he might have gained real distinction. Of his personal qualities all who had the privilege coming in contact with him must speak with the greatest admiration and sympathy.

Now one word as to the wreck of the Stella, with its terrible loss of life. Counsel, pleading at the trial in favour of the Captain, said the steam whistle was constantly going. In my pegfessional opinion, if there had been no steam whistle on board the Stella she would not have been lost. Any one who has taken passage on board a merchant steainer, must- have experienced the deafening rear of the steam-whistle, which in this case prevented the siren on the Casquets. being heard. I had Occasion quite recently to protest in the Bristol Press against the excessive use of the steam. whistle by pilots and ship masters concluding with the remarke that a short note, which can be heard for miles,. more serviceable than a lung scream which prevents you hearing any

thing.

Nevertheless, out of evil some good has been derived, for we find that, on account of the circumstances in which the China was wrecked and nearly lost, the P. and D. Company have forbidden their officers to continue on board those social meetings which before had existed between officers and passengers. There no more necessity for the Captain of a passenger ship to preside at the dinner table than for a hotel-keeper to do the saine in his hotel. The Captains of her Majesty's ships line, alone, so their minds are not distracted from their duty. The sooner this rule becomes general the better it will be for the Insurance Coinpanies and the passengers. The navigating, officer, as in the Royal Navy, should give the course to the Captain for his approval, and it is his duty to advise the Captain if he sees the ship being run into danger. How this officer should be. afraid to advise the Captain, as I have seen. stated, is a fear that does not exist in the Royal Navy. The travelling public are deeply interested in this subject, which must be iny 'excuse for trespassing on your space.
