Each is afraid of all the others, anG
Europe is returning to the traditions
OF an earlier age, when every free
man was soldier, and the pursuits
of industry were wholly subordinat.
ed to the claims Of military service.
Each nation says it is arming only
for detense-but some of them have
already armies of defense more nu-
merous than any offensive army that
can be brought against them. For
says the Times
Germany has a total army of l )
26l 900 men, and this is nearly twice
as large as the entire offensive army
of Europe and Asiatlc Russia, and
falls very little short Of the combin-
ed offensive forces of France and
Austria and Italy. The French ar
my, again, is much larger than the
army with which Germany could
make the attack. Nor is Italy less
well defended against all possible
assailants Within the last fifteen
years she has almost doubled her
standing army, and has increased
the available offensive part Of it in
an even larger proportion. She has
now COS, 200 soldiers with whom she
can defend herself, and 1922 900 with
whom she can attack her neighbors.
If we measure her defensive forces
against the offensive forces of any
other nation whatever, we shall find
that they do not fall far short of any
and that they are considerably in
excess of the most. The very pre-
tence of reason thus altogether dis
appears, and the jealousies and sus-
picions of the nations Of ofEurope with
regard to each others future move
ments are shown clearly to be as
baseless as they are ruinous.
England, for every 1000 of her
population, maintains onl y three sol
diers for offensive purposes Italy
and Belgium maintain twelve !;
France and Austria fifteen; Ger
many twenty-one. 1t is in vain for
Germany to pretend that she wishes
only to defend herself-she means
mischief, and the gun which will be
the signal for the next great war
will be fired by her.

Two American Magazines.

| The excellence of American Magazines ha:
become so well recognized abroad, that one
Of the leading English Papers, the London
Weekly Register, in recent issue, thus
speaks of Scrbner's Monthly:
we are constrained to o,cn that lScyi6ner'>
| Monthly carries off tie prize against oil ON
shilling monthly serials for briNiancy Of Wus
trations and eariety Of contents. II is simply
a aoonde,t,A shMing's aoorM. Nothing can Be
more charming than the casts-.t,M Of force ana
vigor;; tie light and shade are managed piM a
truly artistic poaoer. Ont of its one and toentg
original articles, zoe really do not knoac eltich TO
choose as best, for each and all are excellent"
Not only is it true that Scribner's Monthly
excels the English Magazines, but it is The
Best of the American Monthies."
In the extent, variety and artistic excel
lence of its illustration of American themes,
it has never been even approached, much less
exceled. 1t has larger page and gives a
greater variety in its contents than any other
of the Standard American Monthlies.
In literary character, and in the brilliancy
and ability of its Editorial Departments, it
enjoys an equal pre-eminence.
Its conductors started with the definite
aim Of making it tie best magazine IN the
acorld, of which they have never for a mo-
ment lost sight, and they point with pride
and pleasure to the May and June numbers
recently issued, and ask for them a candid
examination and careful comparison of
their merits with those of other magazines :;
and they renew their pledge to the public to
strive for still higher excellence in the future.
considerable demand has recently arisen
in England for st. Nicholas, Scribner's New
Magazine for Boys and Girls, one publisher
desiring to secure an edition of three thou
sand of the first bound volume (when com
pleted), with his imprint.
The success of st, Nicholas in this country
has been even more remarkable than that OF
Scribner's Monthly. 1t is pronounced to be
g an ideally perfect Magazine for children"
and, as is the case with all the best litera-
ture for children, it has been found to possess
surprising interest for grown up readers, as
well.
The influence of the periodicals of the day
can scarcely be estimated, especially upon
the rising generation, Parents and teachers
cannot afford to be Indifferent to this influ-
ence, or careless in relation to the character
of the literature furnished to the children
outside of their school lessons. In st. Mich
olas not only are History, Natural Philoso-
ply, Literature, Fine Arts, and Manufactures
presented in an attractive way to young
readers, but the children are stimulated to
seek information for themselves.
The Publishers will send to any address a
specimen number of ST. Nicholas, postage
pre- paid, on receipt of ten cents, the bare
cost of paper and printing, The magazines
a"e sold by all first-class Booksellers and
Ne Newsdealers, everywhere.

SEWING Ma CHINE EYTORTION


According to a recent circular of
the Singer Sewing Machine Compa-
ny, the sales of sewing machines
manufactured in this country
amounted in 1878 to the enormous
number of 100000. These machines
sell in the United States for from
$50 to 800, while in England and on
the con tinent the same machines are
sold at from S25 to $40. If the
manufacturers Of these machines can
afford to sell them in Europe at
these figures, the additional one
hundred per cent. exacted Of their
American customers is pure eXtor-
ton, which the manufacturers are
enabled to wiring from the people
by combination of all the parties
interested. The patent of the prin-
cipe of the sewing machine expired
many years ago, having yielded its
inventor several million dollars pro-
fit. All the existing patents are for
''petty improvements" and are now
held by a few manufacturers. AS
they have been running from IA to
90 years, and have yielded many
millions to the owners of the pat
ents and manufacturers it is about
time that Congress should set its
face against any extension of these
patents. 1t has been shown that
sewing machines can be produced
and sold at fair profit for $3.50
each. Adding $3.50 for the case
aud s3 for the royalty, a machine
should not be sold for more than
SlS, which now costs $40. SO AT
least says the Chicago Tribune.

alternately pleasing and grand
beautiful and sublime, he will fnG
ut here. 1t was a vast work that
brldged this immense chaos with
IRON bars. But it has been well per
formed, and faithful sentinels watch
every rod of the track by day and
night, and the rushing trains hurry
through this scene of wonder and
of terror, as smoothly, and perhaps
as safely as they glide over the lev
ell table lands above.
FOND DU LAC.
Just below the Dalles we pass
Fond du Lac, the oldest settlement
IN the Northwest, and the place
where as Andrew Elmore saws of
Fort Howard, "The Gospel has
been preached for two hundred
years" 1t is small burg, looking
out upon the bay, with a dozen or
so houses, weather-worn and diIapi-
dated. A mission was established
here a great many years ago, and it
was for more than a century fa-
nous Indian trading post. Now it
is nearly deserted. We saw sitting
in front Of one Of the small houses
an old squaw,. grizzled and wrinkled
with years-a faithful sentinel over
the once quiet home now disturbed
by the ruthless invasions Of the
white man.

4 MIGHTY WAR IMMINENT.
al the Nations of Europe Getting Ready for
R0W.

The leading article in the London
Times of May 9th, is one we'll wor-
thy of the attention which it will
everywhere receive. 1t was a plain
warning that Europe is on the eve
Of a mighty war. Affairs have come
to such pass that the burden of
maintaining the armies which all
the nations have prepared for the
coming war is too great long to be
endured. But still these armies are
constantly increased.
"The process of turning citizens
into soldiers says the Times, "goes
on all over Europe without any APP
parent limit The German army
is more than half as large again as
it was fifteen years ago, but still Is
not large enough to satisfy Bismark
and Moltke. France, Austria, Italy
Russia, Belgium, and Sweden is
each following Germany's example
and are increasing their armies,

SUPERIOR CITY.

On Wednesday we took little
steamer that plies between Duluth
and Superior, and crossed over to
the latter place, a distance OF some
6 or miles across the bay. Supe-
rior City is beautifully located
town, Wing along a wide level plat
eau, that stretches from the Nemad-
il river 20 St. Louis Bay, distance
of some five miles. 1t has a broad
and delightful harbor, and a water
frontage that would accommodate
the shipping of Chicago. We know
of no finer location for town on
the chain of lakes. But its appear
ance is anything but inviting. 1t IS
absolutely devoid of any business
thrift OF enterprise, 1t has been for
years on the decline, and dllapida-
ton and decay are visible on all
hands. 1t has been especially m-
fortunate in various respects. Much
of the real estate is owned by non
residents who viii not improve it
it has been deprived of any outlet
by rail-and has met the continued
and uncompromising hostility of its
stronger and more influential neigh
bors at Duluth. We hope and be-
lieve that before many years Supe-
rior will get a needed railroad con
nection that will give an impetus to
its growth, and make it what Ma
ture intended it for, a large and
thriving city.

HON L. G.. RYAN FOR CHIEF JUS
TTTF

Hon. f. G. Ryan, of Milwaukee.
has been commissioned Chief Jus
tlce of the Supreme Court of Wis
consln, and will enter upon his du-
ties to-day June l8). This is an
appointment eminently fit to be
made. For years he has stood at
the head of his profession in the
Northwest, and in high legal attain
ments and great ability he has few
equals in the country. Mr.. Ryan
will be recognized as theipeer of any
Judge on the bench of any State or
Federal Court in the Nation.
This appointment will be no less
gratifying to the bar of the State
and the court of which he is mem
Der, than satisfactory to the people
at large. No lawyer in the State
possesses in larger degree the con-
tidence of the people. They have
faith in his ability, in his integrity,
and in his impartiality. Politically
Mr.. Ryan is democratic in his views.
and will serve to counteract the re-
publican tendencies of the court
The appointment, we repeat, will
meet with the general endorsement
both of the bar and the people of
Wisconsin-NudiS0n Democrat.

the year were 527,29l,313, an in
crease of S59,050,269 over 1872.
The current operating expenses
were S344, ,437 ,528, or 65.2 per cent.

earnings were sl82, 1853, ,765, or 4.96

GRATING PoTAToEs.-The idea
of grating potatoes for the purpose
of uniting the good qualities Of two
different varieties, was introduced
to my notice through the columns Of
the RuraI Neac- Yorker about two
years ago. | must confess | had
but little faith, but concluded the
best way to determine the value Of
the idea was by actual test. l COM
menced,by selecting specimen of
the Early Rose and another called
the Cherry Blow, a potato of dark
red color and but very little earlier
than the Peach Blow. | removed
the eyes from the Cherry Blow by
cutting out piece Of oblong shape
running to point. In these cavi-
ties inserted the eyes of the Early
Rose, cut out in the same shape, fit
ting them nicely and binding them
with bass Strings. The first year |
succeeded in saving but one tuber.
The following spring | cut this one
to single eyes, planted in good soil,
gave ordinary cultivation, and about
the first of September harvested
nearly peck Of good sized pota-
toes, possessing the characteristics IS
of both the original varieties in this,
that they were earlier than the
Cherry Blow and later than the
Early Rose, and color about me-
dunn between the two. | think by
selecting for seed each year those
partakiDg of the nature of both va
rieties, | will have potato superior

Next comes Duluth, named by
one Of its ambitious editors the ''Zc-

no city In the country of its size has
been as thoroughly advertised as
Duluth, and we know of none less
