ising, but the men trained at the cookery school
are fully qualified to cook it properly.

In other respects the army has altered little. The profession is
naturally conservative, and does not care to try new armour unless
it has proved it. But the story of the army tells this--that in two
hundred years it has increased from 3000 men to nearly 667,000 putting
aside local colonial troops and our admirable Indian army. This number
is composed of

    Regular Army                216,688
    Army Reserve 80,000   }
    Militia Reserve 30,000}     110,000
    Militia                      75,000
    Volunteers                  255,000
    Yeomanry                      9,500

Of this force, about 110,000 of the regular troops are serving abroad
and the remainder at home; while, though no new regiments have been
added since 1870, the army has increased in number by 29,000 men, and
this without the faintest opposition. All the former dread of it,
whether real or affected, has passed away. In place of it has grown up
the feeling that it has won the nation’s affection, and has earned and
holds its confidence.

Meanwhile, in many a small matter of daily life there is a survival of
long-forgotten military ideas. The acts of courtesy of removing one’s
hat or shaking hands with an ungloved hand are, after all, but baring
the unarmoured head and using the unmailed, and therefore friendly,
hand. With the soldier’s salute, the dropping of the sword-point is
exposing the unguarded breast, the “present arms” but offering the
power of firing the weapon to the person saluted. Passing right hand
to right hand is but being on one’s guard, and having the power of
easily standing on the defensive. Even the two useless buttons on the
back of the man’s coat may be but the survival of the means whereby the
sword-belt was kept up.

In the names of bachelor, esquire, and soldier live those of _bas
chevalier_ (inferior knight), _escuyer_, and _solde_, or pay. In the
expression “pulling the long bow” survives the spirit of some of the
tales told by stout yeomen

 are fully dependent to fudge it properly.
