Fighting Drills. A sham military campaign may be •upposed to do for soldiers what a practice cruise of warships does for sailors. Cormuauder and crew know ttheir ship In every detail of equipiment, but they caunot know how she twill act in trying seas under trying circumstances until she has taken the test pitted against equals. So a given ibody of troops may be all right in camp, in barracks and on parade and prove very inefficient in field work. A regiment may be splendid for the reserve and utterly fail In Initiative, and vice versa. Some men lose their nerve in inaction, and some are too precipitate In leading an attack. The sham campaign gives the general and colonel a chance to study the psychology of a mass under excitement In war men often get their best lessons from failure—failures of their own side or the enemy’s. Success on the field often astonishes those who win It Perhaps the most valuable lesson in the school of the soldier, both for private and general, is that f things rarely work out in practice as (they do in theory. It takes two to rfight, and “the other fellow” Is morally certain not to do just what his opponent expects him to. It is an axiom in real war never to do what the enemy is expecting. The value of this axiom can be tried out in mimic campaigns' quite as well as on the bloody field. For our establishment the sham campaign has nearly all of the advantages of the real thing as a training. The personnel of the militia regiments changes from year to year, but human nature is the same, ^s a regiment acts this year it will probably act next and the year after. (The tendency to make the played game always harder and harder puts the mettle of the citizen soldiery to the supreme test. GEORGE L. KILMER.

The new Lincoln pennies can fool some of the nickel-in-the-slot telephones all of the time, but here the parallel ends.

When the daughters of the veterans of these mimic wars come to organize they’ll see more fighting than their daddies.

* Now for a thrilling poem with the refrain, “Trustraan, spare that waterfall.”

Sad that so many public men must be pilloried for things they “didn’t eay.” Among the best sellers put the average summer resort bill of fare. “Ower Young to Marry.** An immense amount of healthy romance will be cut out of the marriage (Institution if many girls foll^v the example of May Sutton and set up what may be called a youth limit for the woman In the case. Miss Sutton fixes the limit at twenty-five. Her pronundamento quickly drew fire across the ocean, where marriage is 'not considered a matter of whimsical regulation. One Englishwoman frankily declares that the fond Illusions of »youth should enter Into the new relation of wifehood and motherhood. •European mothers usually decide inpon the time and the man and are seldom known to say, “Daughter is -too young to marry,” if the right man applies. When Miss Sutton’s theory is respected at all it will be by maidens atill in the thrall of the illusion that ithey hold the decision on this weighty subject in their own hands. That means the voice of Cupid can be silenced by the alarm gong of prudence. Here again authorities on the iway of a maiden’s heart will object. 'Capitulation to the little god will be ,when the hour strikes, and that may be for one maiden at eighteen and Xor another not till after twenty-five. 'In spite of theories and precepts (based upon them, youth limits for marriage wHl continue to depend upon the individual, just as at the other end of the tether the age limit depends upon who crosses the theoretical dead line.

The teeth of the Angora goats have done so well at eating fire lanes through the Lassen chaparral that it might be well to set them 'to cutting all kinds of lanes through the tariff Jungle.

Religious Thought. EDITED BY HENRY J. CALLUS, D. D. PREACHING OF TO-DAY. Perhaps there is no question that so effects the religious world of to-day as the question of preaching the gospel. Men do not dwell very much on the thought that meant so much to the preacher of thtf past; the Divine Call as of yore. The preaching of the gospel is the foundation for the moral condition of human society in the Christian world. The masses of men and women who Sabbath after Sabbath listen to the gospel preacher, whether he be divinely called or whether it is a profession of his own choice, determine their acts as to right eousness very largely by what they hear from the pulpit. It is very essential, therefore, that not only the preacher should have a knowledge of his own ability to impart to the general hearer the principles of theChrist but the authorities of the organization for whom he labors should alike be intelligent as to his ability to train the moral consciencousness of those who hear him. Rev. Smith Parker, D. D., says: “Preachers whe are good speakers have no difficulty in getting their salaries; people will pay for good speaking. The question of the salary is three-fourths of the time in the hands of the minister. This does not mean that every preacher can be a great preacher—a star; nor does it mean that any preacher need resort to oratorical, or sensation, or undignified methods in speach. The people do not demand, yea, do not want such preaching, and the men who succeed and rise in the pulpit do not, ninetenths of them, use such methods: but the churches do demand, and have a right to demand good speaking, and no minister has a right to be |a dull speaker. His art, his business, his duty js not only to preach the truth, but so preach it that the people will be interested. Dullness in the pulpit, with all the issues at stake, is wicked. Better say one truth so that the people will lisien and remember than to say twenty things so that they will forget them. In our boyhood we had for a pastor a most excellent old minister, a graduate of Harvard, who had studied under Dr. Emmons. The good old man was learned and wrote excellent sermons, but was tame las tame could be. In the little village there was a Baptist church, and our church and the Baptist church had no sympa hy. One Sunday the Baptist minister immersed half a dozen converts by cutting a hole in the ice. Our good old father Davis could not stand that, and the next Sunday he preached upon the impropiiety of such an act. He woke up. he quite shook the pulpit. No eye failed to watch him or ear to hear him. When he returned home, mother said to father, “If parson Davis loved sinners as much as he hates the Baptists, we should have some preaching;” and it was just criticism. Not long ago a cultured deacon in one of our larger churches wrote asking about a young man who had been reopmmended to them. We wrote to him that the man was a grad uate of Yale and Harvard and had spent two years across the water, and had received his A. M. from Yale and his Ph. D., from Harvard, and he ought to Qll the bill. The deacon wrote back, “1 don’t care a tig for his A. M or his Ph. D. Can he preach?”

POINTLESS PKEACHING.

There is a great deal of pointless preaching at the present time After sitting under the ministry of the word a person is often led to inquire, “What is all this for? What is the preachers object? What end has he in view?” So aimless and pointless is the discourse. It cannot be intended to convert sinners for there is nothing in it to alarm their fears, arouse theirguilty consciences and lead them to repentance. It can not be the spiritual edification of believers, for there is nothing in it to quicken them into newness of spiritual life, to encourage them amid trial, or to stimulate them to greater Christian activity. It is a sort of abstract, ethical theonng,with scarcely and reference to the soul No wonder that a person sometimes long to hear one of the old time trum pet blasts, when some son of thunder reasoned of temperance, righteouness and judgement to come, and sinners, like Felix, treambled beneath the power of divine truth. A man seldom accomplishes more than he aims to effect. A minister who does not aim in the pulpit and out.of it to save souls, will have a barren ministry, and many fruitless regrets at least.—Selected.

INFANT MORTALITY.

This is the hot season. Those who have money go to the ma shore or the mountains; the cities are left sweltering and uncomfortable, to those who must remain. In the long streets, in the narrow alley ways, you see that mass of humanity who by process of nature are poor constructive ability, not so good as they might be—not so shrewd. These people are left fighting in the ranks; husbands toiling for from $7 to $15 a week and supporting, in many instances, a wife and two •or three children. In the most unhealthy surrounding you find mewing and toddling, the little children, new born, unconscious, weighed with God knows what inherited vices and weaknesses, but a little child never the less. The world has come at this problem in various ways recently. It has established children’s aid societies for the particular care of neglected child ren. It has establ.shed children’s courts, children’s rescue bureaus, anti cruelty to children organizations, but somehow, wkh all these, it has not yet reach the little one in the cradle, the new born babe, who, by reason of being voiceless, is therefore, consider ed by some miracle of nature to be un der divine protection. Mother love is supposed to be the saving element n this situation. The error here is incalculable. The enemies of achildlife are not necessarily acts of intentional cruelty, on the part of strangers or of parents. The real enemy is ignorance and it masquerades in the most substantial form—ignorance of the simplies laws of hygiene; ignorance of the protective value of pui e milk, of clean food, of cold storage, ignorance of the Tact that dirt breeds disease, that flies carry filth and vermin, that contagion lerks in darks rooms and crowded chambers; ignorance of the things that relate to the child’s eyesight, its need of fresh air. All of these things are the dark, subtle enamies that are prowling about the rooms a thousand tenements of every city, and in the more or less thousand towns and villages, killing 17 out of every 100 children and weakening and making defective a noticeable percentage ot the remainder. This is a stern indictment of the condition in which we find ourselves, but when you have said all this you have not got at the bottom of the problem. Tne bottom of the problem is that, knowing all these things, we are not yet reaching these people.

SUMNER LEAGUE OUTING ■/Those desiring an enjoyable day’s outing will make no mistake by accompanying the Sumner League to Woodsdale Island Park, Sunday, Aug. 29th. Woodsdale Island Park is a beautiful landscape of 60 acres, situated on the Miami river, five miles from Hamilton, O., on the C H. & D. railroad, and 105 miles from Indianapolis, with plenty of shade, shelter, deep driven wells and all other improvements expressly for the accommodation of its many patrons.

NOTES FROM DETROIT. We left Cleveland Thursday at 9:30, having the extreme pleasure of boarding The City of Cleveland, the place bont of the lakes. Many say that the bout is simply modern hotel on the water. We arrived in Detroit about 4:30 p. m. My friend, Mrs. Gertrude Kyle-Grey, met us and took us to her home, where we had a dandy fried chicken dinner. In the evening we went to Belle Isle, which is a beautiful place. We enjoped music by acol- ' ored orchestra, on the boat. Friday morning we visited the down town stores, (where I spent all of my money) We also visited the Detroit Informer I office. In the afternoon we went to Windsor, Canada, which we found to be a very quiet little place. The only exciting feature being the crowds going to and the races. We boarded the City of Detroit about 10:45 p. m., arriving in Cleveland about 6:00 a. m., and joined the party to return home at 9:00 a. m , Saturday morning.
