UNnxApY FOB WAR

The prisoners taken at Metz bS'efe
Prussians Included three Mar.ha!s OF
France, 20 generals 5000 officers, and
,yl7a0OO rank and fle. There were
10000 wounded or sick. and among the
captursd materials OF war were 400
pieces OF artillery and 100 mitrail'
Lenses. Tie total number of French

o~ticerA, and 32O.O 900 rank aud nile.
There il no parallel TO this in history,
and 1t almost SURPRISES belief. France
began the war with about l,3OO pieces
OF field artillery and some $50 mitraii-
lsuses. At Strasburg, Metz, Sedan ana
verdun her loss Of ordnance was very
sreat-probably to the extent OF more
than half her whole artillery. 1t Is
din3cuit even to approximate the num-
her Of cannon which Prussia brought
into the field. seeing that not only tile
North German Confederation, bat also
Bavaria, Baden and Wurtemburg con-
.ributed ordnance and men. Ever
sluce the fall Of the Empire, after tie
surrender at Sedan, the foundries In
Paris and other parts Of France have
been largely and constantly ued to
produce artillery In iieu Of that which
tell into the hands Of the foe. Since
tho proclamation Of the Third Repub-
lle OH September 4th, Parisris said to
have thus obtained over 500 cannon, In
addition to as many o already In
her Notifications. Compare this with
tho defensive strength Of England.
The London Globe only three weeks
ago affirmed that Ii u British army
were to be placed In action not more
than lS4 field cannon could be supplied
TO It by the War Department. Yet fol
the last fifteen years England has beer
making frequent experiments will

GlobS would appear almost incredible,
but that paper has repeated 1t over and
over again during the last six mouths,
without contradiction. England APP

restoration, and good restoration, too,
has already been put upon Strasburg
Cathedral, which, as everybody, knows,
suffered a thousand times more from the
French in the old revolution than ever
it did from the Prussians or from light
ming. The ruin the French wrought was
ruin, for they destroyed the beautiful
statues of the porches by hundreds, and
wanted to destroy the spire itself Baed-
eker says it was only preserved by some
body putting on it Phrygian cap made
of tin. Every Gothic building that has
a groined roof has, as you know, roof
outside to shed the rain and protect the
interior mason work, for all these groined
roofs are made Of comparative ely small
stones. 1t is only this false roof that is
burned off in Strasburg, and it is only
one job more for the city carpenters to
replace it, and this winter every job will
be a godsend.

A VOICE FROM THE KITCHES.-Upward
of thirty professed cooks, many of them
hailing from the best hotels in the
United States, have voluntarily come for
ward and pronounced Rand's Sea Moss
Farine the finest article for puddings,
custards, blanc mango, creams, Jellies,
and other favorite items of the dessert
that has ever come under their notice.
So much for the palatability of the new
element of food. A still greater number
of distinguished physicians and scientific
chemists indorse it as a nutrient of the
very highest class; while every house
keeper who uses it admits that it is fully
fifty per cent cheaper than maizena,,
farina, corn starch, or any other prepar-
alton from corn or the cereal grains.
The new food staple is manufactured,
under patent, by the Sea Moss Farine
Company, SO Park Place; and in view OF
the above established facts, it is not sur

kept running night and day to supply a
demand that is rapidly becoming uni
