The thrift q the nations Of Europe, as ex-
emplied by their savings deposited in the banks
provided to receive them, is illustrated in an
interesting series Of figures prepared by a
French statistician, NJ. de Molaroe. The figures
compare the years 1874 and 1873, and show that
in that period the deposits throughout Europe
rose from 81, 400 ooo 900 to 81, ,e0o, 600 900, an
increase of thirty-dve per cent. In the United
Kingdom the largest amount deposited in saw
ings banks is to be f0und-namely. $3.50. .((0.-
600. Prussia ranks next with sS25, ,O0O, GOO. and
Austria is close up as third with $325, ,OO0. 900.
The French working classes, notwithstanding
their sacrifices for the war, raised their deposits
in the four years in question from Sl15, ,oOo. 900
to $2Oo, ,000, 900, IN increase Of 9S per cent:
while the increase saved by their Prussian foes.
although they had an the war indemnity in
their pockets was only 81 per cent. This is al.
most the lowest ratio Of progress in Europe, as
1taly's deposits grew by 46 per cent, and those
of Austria multiplied themselves nearly FIVE
fold. In the United Kingdom the advance dur.
ing these four years was only 16 per cent. The
most striking feature in this return is tho
progress made BY Austria and France. Evident
y there Is spirit Of industry and economy
abroad, which, il it was not thwarted by the
military establishments, the consziptons and
the wars tthat.pre % hsavily upon Europe.

TIE revised Russian university statutes,
which have gone into effect this month, place
the students under the stristest military disci-
pine and control, and almost every privilege of
self government and latitude of action vii
thereby be Withdrawn and centralized in tho
ministry Of public instruction. The curator of
the university is to be virtually also the director.
A new post is to be established in the form of
councillor in the university, in order to increase
administrative influence. The disciplinary de-
partment is to be under an inspector appointed
by the government instead of by the university
council, and the control Of the students will be
in the hands Of this inspector, who will also
take part in the direction Of university affairs.
as fully-empowered member. The rectOrship
remains electoral, but the rector is reduced to
presiding at the councils only when the curator
does not preside in person. Official supervision
is to extend to the students outside the walls of
the university. The court Of professors elected
by the university is abolished.

The rapid waste of the timber resources of
Canada has begun to present itself in such
shape as to demand serious attention The re-
turns made on this subject under direction of the
British government, by consuls and imperial
officers to the several colonies, caused alarm.
The "clearing" system by new settlers has
given merciless sway to the ak, and the idea that
fresh forests should ever be needed or provided
for has been the farthest from their minds.
Forest fires, too, have been nearly as destructive
as the nnprovidence of lumber merchants,
whose sole aim has been an immediate return
for their investments. A remedy for the evil is
suggested by holding out prizes in land or other
wise to those who shall plant the denuded tracts
with trees, thus laying the foundation for future
forests. The idea is an excellent one, and in
view Of the onward march of settlers in the
United States the consequent destruction of
forests should not be lost sight of.

Recent TraHedies.

Near Barcelona, Italy, on the 91st ult., rich
land owner, his wife, three daughters, son and
two maid servants were all found murdered in
their beds. The deed was evidently committed
with Ratchet. The house was ransacked of
Valuables. A swineherder and his two sons are
under arrest.
Last week sheriff posse in search of Bunch
and Salentine, the men who assaulted N. D.
Sadler in Franklin county, Ark, surprised two
men whom they supposed were their game, in
the barn of Squire Wood, in lizard county.
Upon demanding the surrender of the parties
turned by the officers, with fatal effect to man
named Wheat, aged "a. They were innocent of
completely in the Sadler murder, but Wheat was
anticipating arrest for former difficulty, hence
the fatal resistance.
Thomas Dwyer, lunatic, at the Worcester,
Mass, hospital for incurables, was killed by an
other unfortunate named Warren Rice, on the

1F the accounts from central and southern
Russia are to be believed, the corn beetle, which
may be ranked as first cousin to the Colorado
potato beetle, has been committing fearful
ravages there, displaying a healthiness of ap-
petite which bodies i'll for the future agricultural
prosperity of that region. The pest has been
spreading ever since 1866, and the damage
wrought last year in the districts of Pultowa,
Ekaterinoslay, Saratof, Kherson, and the PROV

An Important Seizure.

The United States government, through the
PhiiadePEa and Heading Railroad Company,
for claims amounting to nearly half million
dollars. The company in 1918, from time to
time, issued scrip to pay its employees and. Off
fixed per cent. ranging from four to six months.
They also contained a provision by which before
maturity they could be paid to the railroad for
debts due or for other purposes. Under the
revenue law, a tax of ten per centum is levied
on notes issued for circulation by corporations,
and the government having made demand on
s16a, 900, the tax upon 81, ,6SO, 600 of scrip is
sued. which the corporation refused, the seizure
was made as above. Nearly five million in scrip
has been issued by the company, SO that the
governments claim will ultimately amount to
half million dollars.

A SHORT time ago at Lancaster, Pennsylva-
mia, defendantin aliquor case was discharged,
whereupon the InteUigencer, published in that
city, charged that the acquittal was procured
by apeosttution Of justice. In consequence of
this, Judge Patterson, has cited the editors,
Messrs. Steinman and Hensel, both of whom
are lawyers, to show cause why they should not
be disbarred. They claim that they are not re-
sponsible before the court as lawyers for what
they may do a. editors. It is thought Judge
Patterson, knowing they could not be convicted
OF Libel, has taken this method to wreak paltry
revenge upon the men who dared to question
the uprightness Of his judgment.

AMERICAN travellers abroad have often WON
dered that the English railroads did not adopt
the American system of checking baggage, both
for their own protection and for the convenience
of their passengers. The London and North
western company, the great line between Lon
don and Liverpool, has recently sent over to the
Central Vermont for specimen set of it's checks
and checking facilities, and these have been for
warded to the English road. Edward NJ.
Thompson, of Montpelier, an agent of the road,
has also gone over to instruct the English rail-
road officials in the practical working of the
American system.
