rather whimsical to the more civilian, and one or two examples may afford our readers a little amusement. In the spring of 1896 It was decided that for real soldiering a fold- marshal's spurs ought to be made of steel. A very considerats foot neto, however, was added to the Army Order, to the effect that
brass spurs may continué in wear, until won whose pay in the field is 19 83. gd per diem ost." This act of consideration for a warrior has doubiless diverted our latest field-marshal, the German Emperor. Another curious regula. tion is connected with the working dress of the Royal Engineers, whose officers, when em- played upon ballooning duties, are required to provide themselves with hunting spurs.
Much leniency is also shown to officers in the matter of their swords. A full-blown general ought by rights to possess two, one of them being a scimitar with an ivory handic for full dress, while for undress uniform the general is supposed to retain the sword which he used when in charge of a regiment. If, however, he likes to sell this he is quite at liberty to do so, and to use his full-dress scimitar on all occasions. Most of us remem ber the excitement in military circles when the sword used by Lieutenant Wormald during the cavalry charge at Omdurman was reported to have buckled up like a strip of tin-plate. In this connection it is interesting to observe the nice gradation of strength that the Com mander-in-Chief expects the swords used by his officers to have. Thus, an infanity

We ran the balloon out of the shed, and at three o'clock all was ready. I took my place in the car, and ascended: The screw being in the rear gives the balloon a tendency to tip backwards, which greatly facilitates a start. I went 6ve or six times round the Longchamps racecourse, and all went well. Then I extended the field of my evolutions, making the complete tour of the Bois de Boulogne and returning with- out difficulty to my point of departure. This
