day is ''pace; :" everything goes ahead.
and armies must conform to this rapid
order of things. Accordingly military
operations and results which used to
occupy years are now compressed into
months it might almost be said weeks.
The war of 1859 was declared by Aus
tria on April 90; the first action, Mon
tebello, was fought on May 80; and the
war was finished at SolferinO on July
"a. In 1866 the Prussians virtually de-
clared war by crossing the Austrian
frontiers on June %, and in seven weeks
the latter power was forced to come to
terms at the very gates of her capital.
Prussia received the French declara-
tion of war on July 10, 1870. On Sept.
Frances last army in the field was
destroyed at Sedan, and the last shots
were fired on Feb. 2, 1871. Here, then,
we have at once an immense saving of
life. The long delays. which meant,
for the soldier, exposure to the wea-
ther and to sickness the defective
communications, entailing insufficient
food; the slowly dragging campaign
with all its privatiOns and hardships-
all these fertile sources of disease and
death have vanished, or are vanishing.
1t is true that the French soldiers both
in and out of Metz suffered terribly
from want of proper food and supplies;
but it must be remembered that their
administration was exceptionally bad,
and the very magnitude of their de-
fects will prevent a repetition of them.
Let us, for comparison, take one or
two instances from the wars of the first
Napoleon. Here is the state of his ar
my during the invasion of Russia in
1912, not after but before meeting the
enemy otherwise than in small skir-
mishes:
From the want of magazines and
the impossibility of conveying an ade-
quate supply of of provisions for SO
immense q host. disorders of every
kind had accumulated in a frightful
manner on the hanks and rear of the
army. Neither bread nor spirits could
be had; the flesh of the over-driven
ANIMALS and bad water constituted the
sole substance of the soldiers.
and before q great part of the army
had even seen the enemy, it had un-
dergone loss greater than might have
been expected from the most bloody
campaign. When the stragglers and
sick were added to the killed and
wounded the total reached 100000.

The <ges Of Darkness.

The ignorance which prevailed dur
ing the Middle Ages respecting the ge-
ography of the earth is surprising. The
true orthodox system for more than ten
centuries taught that the earth is a
quadrangular plane extending 400 days.
journey east and west, and exactly half
as much north and and south; that 1t is
inclosed by mountains on which the
sky rests; that one of these mountains
on the north side, higher than the
others, by intercepting the rays of the
sun, produces night; and that the plane
of the earth is not set exactly horizon
tally, but with little inclination from
the north; hence the Euphrates, Tigris
and other rivers running southwark are
rapid; but the Nile, having to run up
hill, has necessarily very slow current.
Ii is important to state, however. that
such vagaries were not believed by every
one. There were, even in those dark
times, few superior minds that rose
above the ignorance, superstition and
ecclesiastical dogmatism of the age, and
groped their way into less murky
light. But gross ignorance enshrouded
the minds of the masses, and horrible
intellectual darkness prevailed, which
was deeper than the pail of night. Ad-
vancing science has fortunately brought
to us better knowledge of nature.

A PERFECT DAY.
By CARL SPENCER.

The earth is wrapped in . dream Of bliss.
In rest complete;
And the touch OF the air is like Q kiss,
Comforting, sweet.
And the tiny creatures are singing low
As . lullaby;
And the Watching silence doth stir and glow
As the wind creeps by.
And there is the suns own mantle flung
On the chestnut tops.
And yonder are tangled rainbows hung
WITH shimmering drops
And over the things 80 soon to die
Is q gentler Law,
A hush Of peace and Q tenderer sky
Than the summer saw.
Open the windows wide to-day. i-r7
Where . soul may dwell,
In the heart Of palace grand and gay.
Or q prison cell.
o look. ye happy. till pleasure grows
To nobler thing;
Til you bring your joy - the enber aows.
For an offering.
And look. ye weary. till grief and pain
Transhgured shine.
Rejoice for the crimson glory's gain.
The hottest sign.
o mourn ye never that hope ia lost,
That rest delays;
They are after summer and after frost
These sweetest daya
Often and often viii skies be gray,
And hearts be sad
But the Lord hath made us a perfect day
Let us be glad.

Bridal Costumes.

We have learned to consider white as
essentially bridal costumes, but it has
not been always so; and even now the
Bokhara bride wears rose colored veil
on her marriage day, and in the
modern Greek islands fne bridal veil is
of red silk-a custom. which has de-
scended, no doubt from the ''aamen,' -
or red bridal veil, of ancient Greece
the Romans in old days wearing yellow
wells. The Armenian bride, on the
most important day Of her life, appears
in what closely resembles q sack made
of rich silk, completely enyeloping the
figure, feet and head The face is fur
ther hidden by linen veil, over which
falls another of gold tinsel; and part
of the ceremonial is for the priests
wife to dye the nails of the bride deep
red with henna. In Turkey, the bride
appears In rich white satin brocade,
shot with silver, and bedizened with
pearls, q jewelled girdle around her
waist, her face painted-a crimson
patch the shape Of heart, on her chin,
the rest of the visage mass Of white,
except the black pencilled eyebrows.

importance that occurred during the

proportion of the total loss was due to

Natural good breeding Is a character
istic of even the lowest of the Japanese.
1t is not merely the eivility of the peo-
pie. but their politeness and grace
which so win the strangers heart. We
discussed it as we walked. Can it, as
doubtless are the order and condition
of the roads and other public works, be
owing TO the prolonged existence Of a
local aristocracy? To the presence of
natural leaders throughout the land
who are regarded as at once both chiefs
to obey and models to initiate? Will
polished manners long continue among
a people urged to get the utmost profit
from the soil to meet their contributions
to the exigencies of government in
visibly residing in distant city, and
represented by one of the new class of
political adventurers who, now sitting
in the seat of the Daimio, has but two
cares-to gain promotion to higher
place and accumulate savings out Of his
slender appointments? Will those who
have grown gray, and reared their
children beneath the sway of long
line Of hereditary lords, fashion their
manners upon the new-fangled habits
of the sharp politician who comes from
Toxic in a stiff and ungraceful West
ern dress to talk to them Of the eternal
truths of political economy and the law
of nations; who, instead of retainers, is
obeyed by some half-dozen policeman
in ill-fitting European trousers and un-
comfortable European boots, and who
taking the place of Imabari, or perhaps
Of the great Ava himself, dwells in a
modest abode without the gate Of Ina
bari's castle? As each passer-by neared
the visitors, he or she removed the
short blue kerchief wrapped turban-
wise around the head, and, as room was
made that the latter might pass stopped
with not ungraceful bow and gave
"good day" in the national salutation,
''O-tu-o." Hoes and mattOcks and
other farming tools were cheerfully and
politely rendered for inspection where
desired. The owners of neat little
houses by the roadside seemed pleased
to see the strangers examine their Curl
Gus details; their accurate carpentry
functions without nail or bolt; sliding
doors and shutters; windows formed Of
delicate panes Of semi-transparent pa
per. Seated on the cleanly matted
platform of one more pretentious than
the others, was an old man whose truly
Roman features distinguished him
among Mongolian race, as Of hand
some presence and noble mien: yet Of
mien not more noble than was his man
ner. He grandly acquiesced in the
Intrusion of an inquirer; saluted with
lordly grace; told the distance still be-
tween the visitors and Imabari; and in
formed the interpreter that no Euro
peans have eyer passed along that road
before.-Fornigktia Recis,c.

The Cincinnati Enquirer gives some
queer statistics thus: ga very sweet
young lady of the West End, who has
evidently been giving the subject seri-
Gus reflection, gives the following table
as showing a woman's chances of mar
riage between the ages of fourteen and
forty years. OF 1000 women, taken
without selection, It is found that the
number married at each age is as below

call a woman's chances Of marriage in

chances in each two years will be shown

Chances sf LaSe.

From some tables drawn up by DIR.
Farr it would seem, as far as can be
made out, there are certain very criti-
cal periods i'm our career. A baby, for
instance, has very small chance indeed
Of growing up. But, on the other hand,
the period between the tenth and fif-
teenth years inclusively is that in which
the death average is the smallest. At
about 35 we must begin to take care Of
ourselves. At this period constitution
al changes set in; our hair and teeth
begin to fail US; our digestion is no lon
ger what it used to be; We lose the
vigor of youth and neglect outdoor ex-
ercises; above all, the cares Of life be:
gin to make themselves perceptibly felt.
1t is at this time that deaths from sui
eide take a marked place in the returns
Of mortality, and there is also consider
able reason to believe that habits of in
temperance are apt to develope them
selves. The picture, however, has its
sunshiny side. 1t would take, of course,
a professed actuary to deduce from DIR.
Farr's tables their exact result. 1t ap-
pears, however, that if a man tides over
his fiftieth year he may make tolerably
certain of living TO seventy; while, if
he reaches his seventy fifth year, there
is a very strong presumption that he
will either turn his ninetieth birth day
or very near it. A still more interest
ing question is opened by the series of
tables which show the average mortal
ity In different professions and pursuits.
Gamekeepers are, for obvious reasons,
the healthiest class of our whole popu-
lation clergymen and agricultural la
borers come next, and are followed by
barristers; solicitors and business men
are less fortunate, while at the extreme
end Of the scale come unhealthy pur-
suits, such as printing and file-grind-
ing.

The True Version oran Important An
ec0Otc. 70

ee0Otc.
Good stories are often curiOusly and
without the least i'll intention perver-
ted in print, as in the case of an anec-
dote of Mr.. Sumner, which has been
recently produced as connected with
Macaulay. The Easy Chair is very
sure that it gave the correct version
some time ago, but it is evidently ne
cessary to give it again, for the credit
of Mr.. Sumner. This is the form in
which it is now generally repeated:
"Mr. Sumner found himself at din
ner in England in distinguished COM
pany. Among those present who were
strangers to him, and to whom, accord
ing to the English fashion, he was not
introduced, was Macaulay, who sat
near him. One of Mr.. Summers neigh
bors conversing Of American subjects,
asked if Washlngton's remains were
still at Mount Vernon. Yes, answered
Mr.. Sumner; 'his ashes still lie there
The disdainful historian blurted out,
'Ashes was he burned up, then p
Mr.. Sumner, overwhelmed by the dis
courtesy, at loss for a reply, was
silent. He might have met the insinu-
ton with Gray's line,
Fen in our ashes live their wonted fres'"
In fact, the scene was breakfast at
Landor's. Somebody asked MIR. Sum-
ner whether General Washington was
buried under the Capitol, and he re-
piled, substantially, that his ashes were
at Mount Vernon. ''Whatn' roared
Landor: 81 am amazed that gentle
man of Mr.. Summers scholarship should
use such word. Was Washington
body burned?" Sumner instantly re-
retorted, cam 1 to understand, Mr..
Landor, when read in Gray's elegy,
Fen in our ashes live their wonted ires.'
that the poet refers to some cinerary
process formerly in vogue In this
country?" And he further COMPOUNDED
Landor by quoting from the English
burial service, "Ashes to ashes, dust to
dust" Mr.. Sumner was very fond of
telling the story, while the question
which provoked his retort was one that
Macanlay's ready and ample memory
would probably have prevented his
asking.

THE INROBBERS-A NEW CAP
1URE AND A FULL CONFESSI ON.

ST. LOUIS, Aug S.-The Times has a
special from Sedalia which says the
Hobbs Kerry train robber was brought
there from bonneville, to-day, and upon
positive assurance of the entire immu-
nifty, made confession regarding the
robbery near 0tterville. He said those
engaged in the affair were Clel Miller,
Frank and Jesse James, Cole and Bud
Younger, Charles Pitts, William Chad
we'll, and himself He said Clel Miller
received the jewelry that was stolen, but
the dispatch does not state how the re-
mainder of the money or property was
divided. He offered to guide the officers
to the place, eighteen miles south of Sc
dalia, where they buried the papers from
the safes, and at last accounts he and the
officers had started on the search. H
also confessed to other Tobberies COM
mitted by this party, and said Clel
Miller assisted in the robbery of the
Huntington, w. Va, bank and the Ell
Paso stage coach, and was present at the
Gads Hill, Mo-, train robbery. The off
GERS have information that the Younger
brothers were in Clay county, Monday,
and that Chadwell and Pitts were ar
