THE LITTLE ARM CHAIR.
Nobody-sits in the little armchair ;
It stands-in a corner dim;
~Buta white haired mother, gazing
there, ~
~. And yearniagly thinking of him,
Sees through the dust of long ago
The bloom of the boyTs sweet face,
As he rocks so merrily to and fro, ,
With a laugh chat cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds a book in his hand,
Sometimes a pencil and slate ;
And the lesson is hard to understand,
The figures to calculate ;
But she sees the nod of the fatherTs
head,
So proud of his little son,
Aud she hears the words so often said,
~No tear for our little one.�
They were wonderful days, the dear
sweet days,
When a child with sunny hair
Was here to sceld, to kiss and io praise,
At her kuee in the little chair,
She lost him back in her busy years,
When the great world caught the
man, "
And strode away past hopes and fears
To his plac¢#in the battleTs van.
But now and then in a wistful dream,
Like a picture out of date,
She sees a head with golden gleam
Bent ver a pencil and slate ;
And she lives again the day,
Phe day of ser young liteTs spring,
When the small arm chair stood just in
the way,

North Carolina wiil never be much

not just to read, but to read with uni"

Thirty-five percent of our inhabitants
more than ten years of age cannot read x
all, at least fifteen per cent, mo-e cannot
read appreciatively. This cuts the popu-
lation as a field for newspapers hait in
two. This condition will never be improv-
ed until we have a first-class common
school system. Then, if for no other
reason, the newspapers of the State
ought \to join heartily together in a
concerted \effort for four months schools.

Gutters of Hongkong. |
The Hongkong stock exchange is
~one of the financial wonders of tlie
world. But to begin with, there is}
no stock exchange, properly speak-
ing, in Hongkong. What exchange
there is now is the gutter.
From the bar of the club to about
100 yards down the QueenTs road is
the local rialto. But there, all day.
long, a financial business: is done
which I doubt if any 100 yards in
the world except the- spaces includ-
ing the London and New York stock
exchanges and the Paris bourse can
equal either for volume of money,au-
dacity of speculation or sensational
ups and downs. . -,
Everything is done either under
~the punkahs in the hall of the club
or literally in the gutter, and by
the most motley crowd of! brokers
in double decked hats that the world
can show.
There are Englishmen, Germans,
Anglo-Indians, Chinese from Can-
ton, Armenians from Calcutta, Par-
sees from Bombay and Hebrews
from Bagdad. And from the princes
of finance who play with hundreds
of thousands"there are several of
them in Hongkong"down to the
shumblest who buys ten shares here
and sells ten shares there, all are
making monéy fast. The former
live in their little palaces, they en-
tertain like princes, they are as gen-
erous as they are prosperous, and the
latter kick their heels all day long
in the street and the corridors of the
Hongkong hotel. And although tc
say that all of them make money is
not unlike saying that two men live
on what they win from each other
at cards, still the paradox isa truth.
Money in Hongkong seems to have
less value than anywhere else, like
wheat in Manitoba or petroleum in
Pennsylvania. A player at poker
the other night dropped a long chip,
value £20 under the table. ~~Mas-
kee,TT-he said in pigeon English"
~No matter.�
oItTs £20,�T somebody reminded
him. ~If you were at home, youTd
look for it fast enough.�T
~By Jove,� he replied, ~~so I will!
I forgot how much it was.� And
here is an example showing at once
all three characteristics I have
claimed above for Hongkong
finance.
The total capital of Hongkong lo-
cal companies is not less than £10,-
000,000. The average dividend of
the local companies which have al-
ready been in existence long enough
to pay one is a fraction over 13 per
cent per annum. And their average
annual yield to investors at the so
called inflated current prices is 62
per cent. New companies are being
floated almost every month in Hong-
kong. As the new lands of the far
east are gradually developed, it is
to Hongkong that they look and
must look for financial aid. - And
capital there responds to the right
call, as the flash responds to the
trigger.
Financiers at home send telegrams
to their representatives here urging
caution, and merchants write long
homilies to their agents. Yet I have
heard that the very merchants
and friends, both at home and else-
where in China, who are so anxious
on the one hand that Hongkong
should become a model of Scotch
prudence or are so ready on the
other to denounce it as a bucket
shop are themselves applicants for
shares in new enterprises, with the
purely gambling intention of resell-
ing them at the first rise.
In the past shares have been free-
ly allotted with this result. In the
future, I understand, local promoters
intend to be a trifle more particular
whose fortunes they make. I must
not presume to decide the question
whether Hongkong is or is not rest-
ing on a financial volcano, but I see
no reason to believe it and many
reasons to believe the contrary.
And in defianceof this opinion I
think Hongkong financiers will ad-
mit for a long period no stranger has
given thé time or attention to the
affairs of the colony that I have,
for it is not until after you. have
studied Hongkong that you begin to
discover, and that slowly, what a
marvelous place it is. "London Mail.

RUSSIATS ARMY.
Two Million, Men, Armed With Modern
Rifles, Ready For Action.
As the military forces of Russia
: ong war footing contain upward of
8,000,000 combatants, it would ap-
pear that something more than oco-
ercion that doesT not itself mean
rrarT�T would be required to enable
any nation of western Eurape to
settle the eastern question without
first consulting the czar. This vast
army is raised throughout the Rus-
sian empire, liability to service be-
ing almost universal. As a rule
service with the colors lasts five
years, and in the event of a mobili-
gation of the forces the field troops
would be brought up to war strength
by calling in reserves who had
served five years in the ranks. The
field troops and field reserve troops,
together numbering 2,000,000 of
omen, would be formed into field
armies, which would each comprise
anumber of army corps, rifie bri-
grades and reserve divisions. The
remainder of the forces consist of
fortress and depot troops and im-
perial militia.
The ~~three line rifle, pattern
1891,�T has been istroduced in place
of theT single loading Berdan rifle.
The new rifle carries five rounds in
the magazine, is of small caliber
(.3 inch), and has a smokeless am-
munition. On service the bayonct
rscabbards are left at home, and the
quadrangular bayonet is carried
fixed. The barrel of the rifle is un-
cased and screwed into the body, an
arrangement which helps to lessen
the weight, and, in fact, the rifle,
with bayonet fixed, weighs orly 93/
pounds, or about one pound less
than the Lee-Metford rifle and bay-
onet used in the British service.
fire,which may be used at all ranges;
individual fire, which is employed
up to 500 er 600 paces; individual
concentrated fire"the fire of all the
men of a section or squad at a com-
mon object"up to 1,200 paces; a
masa fire at greater distances than
1,200 paces. When within 200 or
300 paces of the enemy, fire attains
its maximum intensity by the em-
ployment of magazine fire. After a
successful bayonet charge the shoct
P| ing line must continue its advance
to the far side of the captured posi- |
° . |
tion and press the enemy by a rapid
fire. A frontal attack must be sup-
potted by one on the flank. When
acting on the defensive, infantry
must put forth every effort to shake
the enemy by fire and then attack
him with the bayonet.
Throughout the Russian cavalry

lery the Russians are particularly
strong, and their armament and
projectiles are of the latest and most
approved patterns. The active army

recruited from those who pass the
General Staff academy. The-duties
of the general sta!f, broadly speak-
ing, include the movements and op-
erations of the army, intelligence of
the enemy and reconnoissance of
the theater of war. | :
Itis laid down that on marches,
when at a distance from the encmy,
it is of the first importance to study
the comfort and convenience of the
troops by separating arms and
sending on billeting parties and}.
bakers to provide for the wants of
the troops beforehand. When near
the enemy, however, and on a
march that may lead to an encoun-
ter, the treops advance close. up as
much as possible in columns and
aim mainly at swiftness and secre-
cy."Pall Mall Gazette.
Humming BirdTs Umbrella.
A writer in The American Sports-
man tells a remarkable story about
a humming bird: |
In front of a window. where 1
worked last summer was a butter
nut tree. A humming bird built her
nest on a limb that grew near the
window, and we had an opportunity |
ito watch her closely.
In fact, we
could look right into the nest.
One day, when there was a heavy
shower coming up, we thought we
would see if she covered her young
quring the rain. Well, when the
The regulations recognize four first drops fell, she came and took in
kinds of infantry fire"-viz., volley; her bill one of two or three large
leaves growing close by and laid this
leaf over the nest so as completely
to cover it. Then she flew away.
On examining the leaf we found e
hole in it, and in the side of the nest
was a small stick that the leaf was
fastened to or hooked upon. After
the storm was over the old bird came
back and unhooked the leaf, and the
nest was perfectly dry.
