Buff bore ber honors meekly as sbe flew off the nest at last with a modest announcement that the had done her x duty as a patriotic citizen of the yard, but her friends took up the strain so loudly that the mistress came running: out. It was almost a golden epp. so larice and yellow, and she carried It in to show the family. "Bless the bird.

"The buff Cochin Is by far the tiuest fowl we have." The fowls were more than ever envious. as every day the fine, yellow egg was carried to the house with such ?are.

To be sure, there was only a cold, white chiua egg there; but she brooded over it. and hovered it carefully, clucking softly, and in the morning ruffling her feathers warningly when the other bens attempted to share the nest. The buff Cochin's feathers rustled and quivered with maternal joy. and be spread hereelf out as if she already felt the down brood under ber wings.

"Oh. .Mrs. Hunt, what have you brought:" she cried in surprise, as little chirping sounds issued from a large basket on the kind neighbor's f.rin. "Wait a moment, little girl, and you shall see." replied Mrs. Hunt, as she began spreading newspapers over the widow's clean floor. "To-morrow is Easter Sunday, you know, and as you cannot go out to see the shop windows yourself. I have i f/ii, fi iiv??

I , New Regulations Froposed Taken i From Methods of the* United States , i i More Pay xnd Better Treatment For En- . lifted Men Expected to Improve the > Service?Major Lee'i View*. I London.?The new army regulations | proposed by the War Secretary, Mr. j Brodrick, providing for increased pay I and other reforms, which have created j so much comment, appear to have be.-n < directly copied from the United States. I Major Arthur Lee. member of Parlia- j ment for the Farebam Division of j Hampshire and formerly British Military Attache at Washington, said of | the proposed change: "At last we have taken a leaf from j the excellent book of th > United States, j though I do not believe we have gone quite so far In that direction as we j might hare done, and as I hope we may do ultimately. Inder .Mr. Brodrick's proposed changes a private in the British infantry now receives almost as much as a private In the United States Army. "With this change, which I frequently advocated while military attache at Washington, we hope to get a class of recruits similar to those sccurid iu j America. Under the old pay we gradually were lowering the physical '? iJ-JI U I smnuaru, yet siui uuuiu;; u u.uu >u got men. while our desertion percentage was increasing at a rate winch snowed there was something radically wrong with the system. The American Army was the only other volun- i tarily enlisted body in the world with which we could make serviceable com- j parisons, tfce Continental armies, owing to conscription and other causes, being perfectly worthless examples. "A year ngo Mr. Brodrick pooh- 1 ponlied the idea of copying the plan in use in the United States. Now he has changcd his mind, and done what the majority of the members of the Hou?e. regardless of part}*, believe to be the rery best thing that could well have happened to the army since Mr. Cardwell (in 1872) affected his sweeping reforms. For the first time 'Tommy Atkins/ with cveythlng found and higher pay. will ho in a bettor position than his agricultural brother, and from that clats we ougnt now to get the best instead Of the worst. "It may hurt the apfrlculturr.l interest, or what Is left of it in England. But I do not believe that this damage will be as serious as the evil* which the change will correct. Not only is it Interesting to nAte the influenco for the l>etter of the American system In these sweeping changes, but in addition they ( will hare a tremendous Importance in another direction. Last year the j Government clearly indicated its fears that it might have to resort to conscription. The present move banishes all possibility of this, for I understand Mr. Brodrlck is willing to go even i further in adapting the United 8tate?' excellent method of treatment for enlisted men. and by liberal finance build J up the standard of the army. "The increase in pay means an additional annual cost of atom $10,000.000. but I maintain that it wili be a direct saving of money, for the better class of men secured will mean fewer men in the hospitals and prisons, as well as obviating otner forms or wast- i ago. and quickly will make up for the additional initial outlay. Some day perhaps we may In* aide to adopt the sensilde plan of the United States of paying tb?? enlisted men of all arms at the same rate. But traditions here die hard.' MURDERS IN BEAUMONT. TEXAS.
