"The Empire Is Peace"
IExchance. Ell


The Russians are reducing their army ex-
penditure by S4,500, 900 per annum. Ac-
cording to The Moscow Gazette, thiseconomy
is to be brought about by extending
the time of service and decreasing
the annual number of recuits In
stead of the 100000 recruits SERVING
respectively three years fer infantry and
four years for cavalry, il was decided at the
last meeting of the commission charged with
the consideration of the subject: l. To re-
duce tho Caucasian regiment and the whole
reserve forces in time Of peace so as to
diminish the standing army by 100 000 men.
q To fix the period of service at five years
for infantry and artillery and six for cavalry.
8. To settle the annual contingent of recruits
at 100, 900 men serving period of from five
to six years, and at IS 900 serving for nine
months, which will diminish the annual levy
of recruits by $4,000 men, If the annual
cost of a recruit is put at s4S, this reduction
will save more than q 100000 per annum.

Union has made equally as great reduc>
tions number of times in the past, in
its Texas rates when there was no compe-
tition, for example: On March /, last its
New York rate of $1.25 was reduced to
ST. New Orleans from 20 to so cents. In
1889 its rate was reduced from SO to ST.
25 to New York, and from 81. 25 to 81 to
Chicago. and all other northern and cas-
tern cities in proportion. There were
similar reductions in the years 1877-79-
50, ranging from Is to 40 per cent. in
each case. These reductions were all Of
a general nature, and not confined to a
few points If the Baltimore and Ohio
does not fulfill its long published promise
with greater effect than this, its opening
will change the telegraphic world very
slightly indeed"

4 STRANGE freak of nature occurred in
a small village in New Jersey early this
month. Amelia Schaefer young lady
of nineteen, had lover who was reports
ed killed in a mine disaster. The news
reached her on New Years day, and she
was 30 startled and shocked by the sad
report that she sought her room. When
her mother went to call her the following
morning she found the young lady on her
back, apparently dead. All color had left
her cheeks, and the fixed stare of death
was in her eyes. A physician was sum-
moned, but he was unable to detect any
indication of a beating heart or thrObblng
pulse. Application of electricity failed
to arouse the CHASTITY sleeper. However,
the physician was unwilling to give up
the girl as dead, and advised the parents
to make no preparations for her funeral
Her limbs lacked that rigidity which
usually accompanies death. After lapse
of FIVE days slight indication of life WAS
discerned, and the pulse at the wrist beat
feebly At last accounts the patient was
slowly but gradually recovering. The
cause of her syncope is supposed to be
the intense grief acting upon delicate
and nervous organization. The case is a
very remarkable Que.

THE eity of Mexico has an excellent
police system. At night there is police
man at every corner. He never patrols
the STREETS, but has a lantern which he
sets in the centre of the intersectipg
streets, and then retires to a convenient
doorway and sits silent until relieved As
a consequence there is row of lanterns
in the middle of every street. Each poo
liceman carries club and a revolver, and
wears blanket around his shoulders.
The roundsmen who patrol the streets
are mounted and carry car6ines and sa>
bers, and look like cavelrymen. Police
men are invariably polite and will stop a
street car and assist lady to enter it as
calamity as the proudest CastiliaR.

Man has trained the lightnings to his
use, taken knowledge from his head and
concealed it into solid ice beneath the
equators melting sun. He has mastered
the secret of storms, and will some day
regulate them to his bidding. From
stubborn nature has he torn secrets that
feed all the hungry poor, and from The
granary of his own soul does he give
nourishment to their minds. With the
wand Of his genius he touches the com
monest things Of earth, and libcrates
powers that could burst the globe. He
has given teeth to the toothless, and glass
eyes to the blind, invented PGnch and
Judy, and got up The plug hat; but when
1t comes to comfort in eating soup, wom'
an, frail and fragile as she is, gets the
bulge on him every time, unless he turns
his back ON vanity and shaves of his
mustache.

Tow different those really wicked Clubs
in Paris must be from the corresponding
institutions in New York city, which as
everybody knows are sweet temples Of
virtue. A Frenchman says of their clubs
that the chief quality with servants must
possess is discretion. A club servant
would rather allow himself to be torn in
pieces, or what would be much more pain
full to him, would refuse $40, rather than
disclose without permission the private
address of member. The club should
be an inviolable asylum against creditors
and bores. The Frenchman considers
that club is convent of men Of the
world with the privilege of going in or
out whenever they like. Only, while the
monks of Mount Athos. for instance,
meet twice day in their refectory to de-
your boiled cabbage, club men are rather
more accustomed to the consumption of
''filet Richelieu" and things like that.

London Troubled over a Telegram.

LONDON. Jan 1G.-Considerabie uneasi-
ness has been created in government circles
here by the receipt of a dispatch from Ber-
lin announcing that it is semi-ofticially
stated here that the German government
had decided to reject. the British pro-
posal with reference to the financial diff
ficulties of Egypt, and accept and support the
counter proposals of France. The foreign
Office has as yet received no such dispatch,
and confirmation from official source is
anxiously awaited. The dispatch, however,
has given rise to much discussion, both in
government and business circles, and the be
lief is general that its contents will
prove true. This action by Germany
is viewed as another Bismarckian blow at
the foreign policy of the Gladstone govern
rnent, and it is thought will tend to greatly
increase the existing friction between the
government Of the two countries. The news
caused much excitement among dealers in
Egyptian bonds, and as a result there is a
considerable pressure to sell those securities
