The Armies Of Europe.

The bloated ornaments of the
great military powers Of Europe"
display their proportions in II very
striking manner in Colonel Vogt's
work on 1.-The European Armies of
the Present" The modified strength
of France is set down at 2.O51, 45S
troops, exclusive of the territorial
army, which is equally large; that of
Russia at 1922. 4O5; Germany. 1.493.-
$50. and Austria-Hungary. 1.O35. 955.
The military strength of Italy has now
attained proportions that would have
been deemed incredible ten years ago
Including militia it is alleged to-
amount to 1881, 1872 men. If. how
ever. similar inclusion be made in
the case Of Russia. the military
strength of that power will probably
be found to exceed even that of the
French Republic. Compared with
these figures. the numerical propor-
tons of the British Army ought al
most to satisfy the members of the
Peace Society. Including our militia
and volunteers, as well as the Indian
army. we can just muster 781, GIT
troops And these have to serve for
the defense of territory distributed
over very much wider area than that
ruled by any of the other powers

GOOD RESOLUTIONS.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS
How Vegetable and Fruit Growers Can
Make Their Lot . Happy One.
Now let every one of US go to the
/. middle of the cabbage patch or to the
warm side of the pacing shed and re-
solve:
That we viii buy neither seeds nor
plants of any man without reputation
That We will have none but perfectly
honest pickers and burn every box that
persists in getting the best berries or.
the incest peas on top
That we will join some club or So
ciety for those of our vocation; or. If
there is none near. that we will labor
zealously 10 establish one.
That right now we will begin such q.
system Of accounts that we may know
at the close of each year how much W.
have made and how we made it.
That we will hereafter keep q note
book to record experience gained and
to provide for work being done better
each year.
That we won't think that We know
it all; but, on the contrary. we will be
glad to get hints from others. and to
this end will visit brother gardeners
who are very successful.
That we will endeavor to educate
the people to large consumption of
vegetables and fruits by setting them
good example. not giving our own
families only those which are un-
marketable.
That we will so beaut;fy our home
that the house and grounds may show
that. while one branch of gardening is
business. another branch is pleasure.
That we won't change commission
men every year, or so treat them that
they will want us to change-unless
they cheat.
That we will clear up the grounds
each fall. instead of leaving litter for
destructive insects. their eggs or Larvae.
That before spring work begins We
will overhaul all implements and We
hicles and put them in good condition.
That we won't hire lazy. thoughtless
laborers because we can get them for
n few cents per day less than good
labOrers.
That we will select and order in time,
seeds. plants or trees needed, and not
delay till they can not arrive in good
time.
That we will not expect good crops
of currants and gooseberries from
bushes growing in sod and never
pruncd.
That we will never again send any
product to market without first assort-
ing it. and that we will use every hon
est means to increase the attractiveness
Of fruits or vegetables when displayed
to consumers.
That we won't get the novelty craze.
yet will keep out of ruts; that while
we won't fly off at tangents. we won't
be clam.
That every time we spend dollar
for tobacco we will give the wife . like
amount to spend rs she pleases; or will
allow Ter purse of her own.
That we will spend rs much time in
talking garden as in talking politics.
and will seek to ''refOrm the country"
not by talk. but by hard work on our
own premises.
Finally, that we will be better men
and gardeners; that we will grumble
less and hoe more and put trust in
Providence and Kerosene emulsion.
