Unprepared for War.

Apart from the question of justice OF
the English cause in the present war
says London letter, the country is in
bad condition for war. The trade of the
country is everywhere in a woful state,
and the prospect of heavier taxes is not
relished on any hand. The annual ex-
penditure of the government is now con.
siderably above $400,0O0,000, which is
fully $l50,000,000 above the expendi.
ture of the United States, with popu-
lation fully 100000 greater than the
United Kingdom. There is an increas-
ing grumble everywhere against what is
termed "Free Trade Without Recipro
city," That is to say protective tariff
is wanted. 1t is remarkable how the
idea gains ground. A large meeting OF
farmers and hop growers was held in a
large town in Kent few weeks ago, and
strong resolutions, favoring a protective
tariff were carried by large majority
Friends and foes of the measure alike
tried to make the best showing at the
meeting, but free trade was far below
par that day. That meeting is only one
IF many of the kind.

Geographical Statistics.

The l"rgest river in the world is the
Amazon, in South America. If it is not
the latgest, it has the greatest volume,
and, at thousand leagues from it's
mouth it has still depth of 200 metres,
and the extent Of its course is $500 kilo-
metres 6 of a mile each). The Missis-
slppi, in North America, has only a
length of 5000 kiloms, but with it's
afiuent, he Missouri, 1900 kiloms.,
which gives it the first rank. The Nile,
in Africa, is estimated at $500 kiloms.
In Southern America, the Parana and
the Plata have 4, 900 kiloms. The Jenis-
sci, in Siberia, $500 kiloms. In Europe,
the Volea has 3,400 kiloms., and the
Danube only 5000, and the Seine 10
more than no. The Pacific Ocean
measures 175,000,000 of square kiloms.,
the Atlantic 100,0O0,O0O; the other
oceans, Arctic, Antarctic, etc., occupy
$4,000, 900. Altogether, they cover 373,
100000 of square kiloms., that is to say
three-fourths of the surface of the
globe, and the land occupies the other
quarter. But, taking into account
the lakes and water courses, the
proportion the dry ground is re-
duced to fifth, while the waters COW
er four-6fths. Lake Superior, Canada,
has $4,000 square kiloms; the Victoria
Nyanza, Africa, 10000; the Sea of Aral,
Asia, 10000; the Titicaca, South Amer
lea, 10000, etc. The largest quarter Of
the globe is Asia, 4l,000,00 Of square
kiloms., and the smallest, Europe, l0,-
100000 The total population of the
globe is calculated Mt about 1900, 000,-
900 inhabitants, thus distributed: Asia,
nearly S00,000,0 900; Europe, 1926, 100000;
Africa, 2l0,000,000; North America,
60,000,000; Oceania, 100000; and
South America, 26,o00,ooo. The popu-
lation is densest in Europe; 50 inhabi-
tants to the square kilom.; Asia has only
IS; Africa, 6; Oceania, 3; North Amer
lea, 2; and South America, l. The
highest mountain in the world is Gauris-

MackapaR and his tribe had retired
and esconsed themselves in one of the
vast caverns which occur in the lime
stone formation in that part of the
country. y These extraordinary
scaverns were upward of 1000 feet in
length by 800 or 500 feet wide. intersect-
ed by several walls, and so dark that no
one could penetrate the gloom. y \
Eight days close siege, however, did not
prove efectual. 1t was then determined
to block up the entrances. Fifty teams
Of oxen and about 800 friendly Kafirs
were employed at this work, and many
loads of stone and trees were thrown
down into the openings of the caverns.
X X At the end of the three weeks
the commando" could no longer bear
the. horrible stencil of the dead both
within and without the cave, and Pre-.
torious gave the order to raise the siege.
The number of Kaffirs who had fallen
outside amounted to upward of 900.
Those who died inside must have been
much greater. Makapan and his tribe

Our Tenure OF Life

Depends in great measure upon our re.

we violate them we cannot expect to "make
old bones" But that the span of existence
allotted to a naturally delicate constitution,
or one which has been shaken by disease
may be materially heightened, is fact OF
which we have daily proof. The vivifying
and restorative influence of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters upon a failing physique
affords a striking illustration OF the power
of judicious medication to strengthen the
hold of life. Restored digestion, complete
assimilation, renewed appetite, sound re-
pose, these are among the benefits conferred
upon the debilitated by that supreme reno
