The regiment of La Fère was but a sample of the whole. "Dancing three times a week," says the advertisement for recruits, "rackets twice, and the rest of the time skittles, prisoners' base, and drill. Pleasures reign, every man has the highest pay, and all are well treated."

"Let us have better and healthier babies if we can," cried out one of England's bishops, not long ago, "but let us have more babies!" Heroic and noble sentiment and so perfectly safe!
