IT is difficult to more than approximate
the actual number of the Turkish army. It
was officially estimated in 1876 as consisting,
on war footing, of 170, 900 men of all arms,
of whom the regular infantry, or Bashi-Ba-
zouks IA formidable collection of cut-throats,
without conscience and without fear), amount
to 11s,0 Besides these there is reserve
of 240 battalions, or 1872, 900 men, who are ex.
pected to take the field at a fortnight's no.
tice, and sedentary force OF 100000 more,
whose reserve is estimated to contain las, $3.50
men. Altogether, Turkey is set down ION
paper) as able to bring 100000 men into the
field in time of war, from which deserters and
inyalids have to be deducted. This military
force comes out of the 27,0OO,00O of Turkish
population in Europe and Asia. The Turk
ish army is strong in its artillery and cavalry.
The latter are light horsemen and mounted
riaemen, and likely to be very efficient in the
field. There are "a regiments of these, well
armed and equipped. under the command Of
Felzullah-P Pasha, said to be dashing officer.
Colonel Valentine Baker, formerly of the
British army, and said to be one of the best
of its cavalry officers, is now recognizing the
gendarmerie of Turkey, consisting of $1,000
men, of whom $1,000 are cavalry, but cannot
effect the desired changes therein in time for
any near contest. As regards the compare
i've merits of Russ and Turk as fighting men
they are about equal. The Russ has dog
ged and persevering courage, and never ap-
pears to know when he is beaten, and the
Turk goes into battle reckless fanatic.

The Russian army, numerically very
strong, is much distributed over great ex-
tent of territory in Europe and Asia. Ac-
cording to the official estimate of the year
1876 the peace establishment of the Russian
army amounted in round numbers, to 1885,
600 men of all arms, and while on war foot
ing there was total Of ], ,214, ZOO. Of this
last number, some $4,000 troops, or two
thirds of the whole, belonged to the regular
army. Probably, in the event of war, half a
million of Russian soldiers can be put into
the field. The reinforcements would be sup
piled, in the usual manner, by conscription,
and very largely, from the countries inhabit-
ed by the Cossacks. The military organiza-
tion of this race has produced the finest SOL
diers of the Old World. They are free men,
equal coproprietors of the districts they inhab-
it,who pay no taxes to the government, but in
lieu of this are bound to perform military
service, finding their own equipment, weap-
ons and horses and receiving rations of food
and provender, and small amount of pay,
only when they serve beyond the frontiers of
their own country. In the Cossacks the
Gear has over 10000 of the finest cavalry in
the world

The Metric SyStam.

The countries which have adopted the
metric system Of weights and measures are
France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy. the
Netherlands, Brazil and the South American
republics. The system has also been legal
lied in Great Britain and the United States.
In this country it is, regretably, making but
slow progress. The task of ling peo-
pie to discard the old complex, and unscientific
standards of weight and measure is difficult
one. We readily acknowledge the advan-
tages of the decimal system, and the gain
which will come of the greater ease and ac-
curacy with which all matters of measure
ment can be carried on; but we dislike to
lake the trouble to learn its names and ac-
quaint ourselves with the appearances of it's
divisions. But in time its simplicity and di-
rectness will win for it popular regard and
general acceptation.
But In order to bring about this desirable
result people must be made acquainted with
the new measures and taught by compare.
tive tables the differences between them and
the old. 1t is too much to expect that the
metre and kilo shall be at once adopted in
the shops. We can familiarize the younger
generation with the system. If in our
schools the boys and girls are thoroughly
taught the metric system, and made ac-
quainted.not only with its tables but with
the appearance of its units and multiples of
measure at least, the men and women Of ten
years hence will be enabled to use it with
ease. Every school-room should be provided
with models, SO far as practicable, of all the
divisions of the system. Every child should
have as distinct an idea of the metre as of the
yard, of the klo as of the pound.

THERE may be some truth in the state
