can have enough of a quality to da
anything remarkable with it without
having that quality in excess. The
absolutely balanced temperaments
seldom achieve conspicuous ends.
Balance, so far as being under con
trol, that is necessary; but balance as
to endowment is not necessary for
great success. Washington's temper
ament was not so evenly balanced as
his earliest editors and biographers
would have us believe. He had a tem
per which, in the case of a less well-
governed mind, might easily have
been classed with those which are
called "ungovernable." But Wash
ington's balance of character was ex
ceptional, lie is a marked man in
this respect, even among the handful
of world-heroes, Alfred the Great, we
are reminded by his millennial, being
one of his extremely few competitors.
Let a man have an extended reputa
tion for physical and mental energy
and activity ; you are likely to discover
that in private life, and in public as
well, if he happens to be a public man,
this activity shows its overplus in all
sorts of curious ways. They may stem
to the cold-blooded pure extrava
gances; they may, indeed, be pure ex
travagances. But you will conclude,
if you are blessed with good sense and
a bit of discernment, that any criti
cism of such character for the evi
dences of the "too much" merely
amounts to a recognition of the phe
nomenal force of theman a recogni
tion, indeed, of the very temperament
which is the reason for his success in
life, and which accounts for the fact
that you think it worth while to be
stow so much attention upon his men
tal and physical "outfit." Ten
chances to one, if he had not been en
dowed so heavily with his distinguish
ing trait he would not have had
enough of this trait to accomplish any
thing notable in life.

English War Offics'a Schema for Train,
in i Tommy Atkins.
The English war office's new
scheme for the training of Tommy At
kins in maneuvers embraces many
novelties, which will in due course
see the light of practical demonstra
tion. Among these none is more in
teresting or fraught with greater pos
sibilities than the device for training
soldiers to locale guns firing smoke
less powder.
. Arrangements are being made to
carry out experiments in this direc
tion at Aldershot, and the sappers
have already constructed an ingenious
battlefield upon Ash Hanges, which
will make field firing vtry realistic. In
the trial to come an infantry force
will approach the ranges, and will im
mediately be fired upon by distant
guns. Endeavor will be made to lo
cate the field pieces, and the infantry
will move forward in cover. As they
advance a surprise target representing
cavalry and mounted infantry, will
spring up flank and front, an ar
mored train will run out, and all the
features of a modern battlefield will
be represented against the advancing
force. This method will call forirreat
initiative from commanders, and the
targets will be so made that cood
shooting will be recorded by the tar
gets being knocked over.
As an inducement to make infantry
take cover a new device has been
adopted. Artillerymen are to accom
pany the advancing columns, and
when a distant gun fire-s its dummy
shell they will produce a correspond
ing explosion among the attackers by
means of a small mortar thus teach
ing the lesson of cover and caution as
no other means short of live ehtll
could do. London Kxjrress.

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM.
Florist Trying to Impart a Perfume te
tba Flower.
How to impart perfume to the
chrysanthemum is a feat the accom
plishment of which is just now earn
estly being sought by florists, both,
professional and amateur, in all sec
tions of the country, says the Wash
ington Star. The development of the
chrysanthemum within the last few
years from an unattractive flower to
its present high state of perfection,
beauty and commercial value, is one
of the wonders of horticultural his
tory. To Knglish florists is due the
credit of this development, but this
country has not been slow in cultivat
ing that flower, and the correctness of
the commercial instinct of the profes
sional florists in this direction can
be realized when it is known that their
revenue from this flower alone wa
$500,000 last year.
More flowers are said to be bought
in New York than in any other city
in the world, and the prices paid are
higher. In this connection it is not
uninteresting to note that the flower
industry of the whole country is as
suming large proportions and is in
creasing in perhaps a more rapid ratio
than other commercial enterprises.
The government figures are available
for the year 1899, and show that dur
ing that year $2,;38,42G was expend
ed for labor in the flower industry in
this country. The value of the whole
product is placed at $11,928,822,
which commercial florists have
thought too low an estimate. The
land on which the flowers were raised
and the value of the buildings in use
is estimated at $3."), 109,187.
j Feeding Indian Elephants.
Elephants, in the lndiun army are
fed twice n day. When meal time ar

ten pound of raw rice done

rice is wrapped in leave? nnrfthr-n tied
with grass. At the command "Atten
tion!"' each elephant raises its trunk
and a package is thrown into its capa
cious mouth. Ry thft method of feed
ing not a si ngle grain of rice is wasted.
