A letter of Instruction said to have
been sent to a Hrltlsh army officer, who
reported that Private blank had lost
his greatcoat, runs as follows: “The
calculation of the value of a lost great
coat should be made by deducting the
value when worn out from the value
when new, as given In article 75. 1S85,
clothing warrant, dividing the re
mainder by the number of months the
garment should wear, multiplying the
quoltunt by the number of months the
garment has actuallj boon worn and
subtracting the sum thus obtained
from the total value of the now great
coat. The balance is the amount that
should be charged.”

Australia's least known and least de

tory. It Is a sort of no man’s land. Its
capital, Palmerston, contains more t-hl-

place la greater Britain where the
Mongolian Is the master and the white
man the servant. The climate Is very
trying to whites, and the aboriginal
blacks are of a fierce and sanguinary
disposition. Vast herds of buffalo, the
descendants of a few experimentally
liberated a century ago. roam over the
plains, nnd the place will some day. It
Is believed, lie a sportsman's paradise.
