The German and French Armies.

Inc military strength or the french
army, according to the Kolnische
Zeitung, reckons % army corps, 520,-
600 infantry, AZ, 500 cavalry, 75,6OO
artillery, with 1922 guns, $500 en-
gineers, and 5, 800 pontoon men while
on the other hand, the German army
has only 5000 men in actual SER
vice, with 2,040 pieces of artillery.
The German cavalry is. however,
more numerous than the French, and
what is more important, the Germans
have far stronger reserve, number
ing 246,0 900 men, with 444 guns, and
90 squadrcns of cavalry, as against the
96, coo men of the French reserve.
But in several other respects also the
Prussian critic finds his rivals at a
disadvantage. The Germans have
much more rapid system of mo5iliza-
ton; the railway system is far more
complete; their horses are better, and
above all, the minister of War is not
perpetually. being changed, as in
France. Here are two powerful
armies arranged on the side of two
neightoring nations, which are q
menace To the peace and tranquility
of Europe, if not the world, at any
moment; and yet the government of
both these great nations would have
all mankind believe that they have no
design to disturb the peace of Europe
or the world at large; still, like great
engines of destruction, they stand
ready to "go off," like gua, the mo-
ment the torch is applied, and slay or
annihilate one another.

FOREIGN.


New York, January 1Sth.-A cable
special from London of January nth
says : The Foreign Office has turned a
very deaf ear to Chinese complaints of
neutrality violations. The Marquis Tseng,
the Chinese ambassador to England, has
sent several notes to Earl Granville,
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, complaining
that England's neutrality is one-sided.
He charges that England promptly reeog-
nizes every act of the French and ignores
the acts of the Chinese Government. To
all these complaints Lord Granville has
sent q polite but meaningless reply, in
which he evades the subject matter and
confines himself to the platitudes that are
always kept in stock within easy reach of
the clerks in the Foreign Office. In the
meantime the Marquis Tseng is chuckling
over the famboyant dispatches of General
Briere Delisle, the French commander in
Tonquin. The latest dispatch from the
French General is to the effect that he is
about to pacify TOnquin, which, the Mar
quis remarks, is easier said than done.
The Chinese authorities have renewed
their threat of preventing the expectation
of food supplies from the mainland to the
English island of Hongkong, as measure
of retaliation for the alleged violation OF
the neutrality treaties by England.

The Universal Day.

On the 1st instant the public clock near
the entrance to Greenwich Observatory was
altered SO as to show the hours of the uni
versal day. This clock has the hour num-
bers from to "a, and has hitherto shown
the hours of the astronomical day"
which begins at midnight. The change
made at Greenwich is in accordance with
the resolution passed at the late Meridian
Conference, but in the meantime is only
provisional, as Mr.. Christie, the Astronomer
Royal, considers it essential that the new
reckoning should be generally accepted by
astronomers before it is introduced into any
published observations.

Hack Fares and Hackmen.

Mr.. EDITOR At the close of case heard
in the Police Court yesterday, in which
hack-driver was prosecuted for not pro-
ducing the official Regulations when called
upon to do so, Judge Bickerton took occa-
sion to make a few remarks that all hack
drivers and passengers would do we'll to
take note of. They were to the effect that
the legal fare for single passenger within
q certain limit is ten cents chat every
driver must wear his badge, and have with
him copy of the 81 Regulations for Car
riages and Rates of Fare, and must produce
them when required.
1t has been quite customary for many per-
sons who hire hack for q short distance to
give the driver two and half times his fare
that is twenty-five cents and in many
cases it is just as customary for the driver,
when given that piece of money out OF
which to take ten cents, to quietly pocket
the coin, and, with brief Sc thank you, d
drive off, knowing full we'll that nine times
out of ten the victimized passenger will not
raise q row about the matter. Then, too
there are not a few drivers who demand
twenty-five cents for ten-cent ride, and i
the smaller sum is proffered, try to 60 bluff
the passenger. All this is decidedly irregu
lar, ard should be stopped. The fare within
certain limits is ten cents, and if more i
| asked it is as much Of an imposition as i
would be tor the man who has sign GU
g. Soda 10 cents per glass " to attempt t

OF course there will always be a certain
number of people who ride in hacks tina
will think it Z" mean" to proffer only tn
I amount that can be legally demanded. The

To which does he belong ?

Surround Irving with ordinary stage
fixtures, take from him the finer de-
tails in stage effects, place him on an
equal footing with many of those who
have not achieved 1.-THE of his fame or
fortune would he be any greater than
they? Has he the versatility that
will enable him to successfully adapt
himself to characters independent of
mechanical aids ? Is Irving the artist,
or is it the stage manager, and Irving
the puppet? It is not creditable to
Mr.. Irving that he is a mastery stage
manager. In this branch he is an
acknowledged artist, and merits his
reward as such.
Terry is of a different kind. She is
less artistic than Irving in his way,
and more artistic than he in her way
She pleases not so much by the scru-
pulous accuracy of detail, but in the
suggestion. She draws the life-linet
and leaves you to fill them, calls the
imagination into play and gives il
points to grasp hold by. While the
Imagination cannot get ahead Of
Irving's lines, and dare not fall be-
hind, it can canter ahead of Terry
loiter behind at will, and still no
lose a single effect of the picture
Irving is recalled as Irving-the man
Terry is remembered as Beatrice o
POrtia-as the artist.

[PIttsburg weekly Dispatch

An actor may read his lines per-
fectly from an Evolutionary stand
point, his gestures msy be proper and
graceful, his form without fault and
his makeup exactly correct, and yet
no more than barely excite in his
audience a feeling of admiFation and
a disposition to compliment him for
showing them what art is They en-
joy the performance and applaud as
when Witnessing an exposition of
spiritualism or sleight-of-hand. The
pleasure vanishes as soon as the art

What is the secret of this art?
Some say it is in being natural.
Others that it is personal magnetism.
The most popular notion is that it
consists in the actor being able to
lose his.personal identity and be, to
all intents and purposes, that which
he represents. That is: Irving should
become Louis TX. and Terry should
be Beatrice, both of which conditions
are impossible. The best they can do
is to intelligently personate them. In
doing this they must not forget that
they are only persOnating characters,
not the characters in fact.
To which of these schools of art, if
they may be SO called, does Irving
belong?
That is for each individual to an
swer himself. If his acting merely
excited admiration for the skill with
which he portrayed cold facts in al
their cold details, as do the French
painters of the 'quiet grays," ther
his art is only art. But II he sug.
gested spirit that developed into &
reality in the heart of the auditor
hiding the gross, material lines, theI
it was the perfection of art-the ar
that characterizes great actors ant
actresses.

hang it in the sun to dry. When done,
1T is no better than before.
II have owned lanyard, harness
shop, and shoe shop, and claim to I'M
derstand the principles of making and
dressing leather. Now, to oil harness
properly, in early spring, before spring
work begins, take it into damp cellar,
or some damp, cool room take it apart,
soak well in tub of warm water, and
with a coarse rag and old knife rasp off
all gum and dirt. AS soon as the out
side is dried little, put on with rag
or brush as much oil as will stick to it,
and place all in a heap on board to dry;
If one coat is not enough, 60 over it again
till filled with oil then when all dried
in, take warm water and CASTLE soap
and rag, wash well and and put together.
Castor oil is best of ALL good neatsfoot
oil is very good, in which use enough
lamp black to color well. After being
exposed to soaking rain, the harness
should be rubbed over with rag and
good oil while wet. Never expose leath-
er to hot sun or drying winds till after
oiling, or the oil will do harm rather
than good. Harness, we'll treated in
this way, will be soft, plable, less,liable
to chafe or rub off the hair of the horse,
and last some years longer than if neg
lected."

A Good Sign.

A little land well titled pays better in
this part OF Florida than in many other
regions where the plan of concentrated
effort and production has been success
fully tried. The fruits which are raised
here are OF such high market value, and
vegetables of all kinds are produced at
such seasons of the year as to command
the highest prices, so that a moderate
yield, resulting from ordinary care and
cultivation, is always profitable. 1t is a
fact, well understood here that what is
called intensified farming on our soils,
and in our climate, causes an increase OF
production at least four-fold greater than
is usually obtained by ordinary culture
and preparation. The quality OF the
fruits and vegetables raised under the
intensified system is also much better,
and of greater market value, than that
raised by the ordinary slip-shod plan of
cultivation. 1t is, therefore, good sign
that so many of our citizens are willing
to curtail the size of their farms, groves
and gardens. They will not only secure
greater profit from their labors and en-
nance the credit of the country by the
superiority of their fruits and vegetables,
but they will give room for others to i'm
prove and cultivate the land which they
cannot keep in that high state of tillage
necessary to secure the best results by
their own labors.
1t is now, by reason of this change in
the minds of our farmers, and the inn
proved methods of tillage which they are
adopting, becoming possible for this
small section of country to accommodate
and abundantly sustain large and pros
porous population. Hdrbor Rirer

Oiling and Care of Harness.

A correspondent of the Country GEN
tCemen furnishes the following practical
suggestions:
"Our farmers are prudent in buying
harness, demanding the best leather,
the best work, etc., but they put the har-
ness in use and allow it to be exposed to
all kinds of weather without further care,
and in a very few years it is ripped,
dried, and cracked, and almost worth
less. Then the harness maker has to
take all the blame. The careful farmer
will have a good place to hang his har-
ness where it may hang up straight and
away from the gas of the manure. One
man will oil his harness only in hot
