Military Efficiency Of France.

The military ability of France, and
her system of fertilization, are splen-
didly developed, especially when one
considers the shifting policies of the
war department under her peculiar
administration of republicanism. It
may be said, however, that each new
minister, urged on by the national
feeling, has accelerated rather than
abated or suspended movement.
For five years following the re-estab-
lishment of the republic, the national
assembly spent much of it's time in
experimenting the organic laws of

from those of Prussia. Universal H.

modern military statutes. Liability

thousands of trained soldiers, armed
for revolution as we'll as war, are
caserned at their own 1resides, which
enables them to balance their inter-

and trainings for national defence.
Including the Gendarmerie and Gar
de Republicaine, France has at pres
emit a peace footing of 525,711 men.
Deducting vacancies, absentees and
sick, the total would be 465 900.
The territorial force, officers and
men, is about 500, making the total
active 1,155,OOO. The German
authorities narrow the total war
force of France to something less
than 1000, 900; both Hennebert and
Froment, who n perhaps the best
authorities on the subject, approxi-
mate it at over 400, OOO.

A Strange Spanish Sect.
BROOKLYN Citizen.

DrOOKlyu ClUlZen.
Your readers may remember that
some time ago l drew attention to a
very remarkable phase of religious
fananticism in the little village of
Tolox, in the province of Malaga,
which led to a State prosecution.
The devotees of the religion, I may
call to mind, took it into their heads,
or rather were led to believe by their
leaders, O woman who declared her.
self a prophecies, that the highest
form of religion was to conduct the
mundane affairs of this life in simple
garb of Adam and Eve before the fall.
This was bad enough and led, as I
have said, to the intervention Of the
Crown, but it was not their only d.
vergence from the ways of ordinary
mortals, another portion of their
doctrine being to infict upon them
selves wounds in the hands, breast
feet, such as are shown in representa-
ton of the crucifxion. They also
burnt all, or nearly all, their worldly
possessions, in the belief that a
higher power would provide them
with food. Their behavior was such
that, as stated, the Government felt
called upon to interfere, and a day
or sosago a number of leaders of this
strange sect werep put upontheir trial.
Already the most extraordinary
revelations have been made, apart
from what may be called the spiritual
manifestation which these misguided
people declare have been made to
them. The most interesting feature
in connection with the trial has been
the experiments in hypnotism which
have been made on the defendants by
medical specialists, this being the
first time hypnotism has been re-
sorted to in Spain in the interests of
justice.
In nearly every case the defendants
proved to be good subjects. Many
Of the experiments tried by the
doctors were of the most extraordi-
nary character. One of the accused,
forinstance, when in state ofhypno-
tism, on being ordered to perspire,
broke out almost in a state of pro
fuse perspiration, while another, who
was ordered to ascend q very high
ma1ntain, being the while in an ordi-
nary room, behaved as if he were act
ually climbing, his breathing being
difficult and his heart beating vio-
lently. When this man was told
that he had reached the summit and
might rest awhile, the symptoms of
exhaustion gradually disappeared.
Others were pricked with long pins,
and gave no evidence Of feeling what
was being done to them.

Thurman in the Senate

His rank in the Senate was established
from the day he took his seat, and was never
lowered during the period of his service. He
was an admirably disciplined debater, was
fair in his method of statement, logical in his
argument, honest in his conclusions. He
hod no trick in discussion, no catch phrases
to secure attention, but was always direct
and manly. His mind was not preoccupied
and engrossed with political contests or with
affairs of State. He had natural and cult
waited tastes outside Of those fields. He was
a discriminating reader, and enjoyed not
only serious books, but inclined also to the
lighter indulgence of romance and poetry.
These tastes illustrate the genial side of his
nature n were o fitting complement to the
stronger and sterner elements of the man.
His retirement from the Senate vas q serious
loss to his party-a loss, indeed, to the body.
he left behind him the respect of all with
whom he had been associated during his
twelve years of honorable service.-Blaine's

L. Bley shot and killed the two Moritz
brothers at Kanlatus, about 10 miles from
Palouse Junction, W.T.. The quarrel started
over o stallion belonging to the Moritz
brothers, which Bley had corralled. He de-
manded $50 damages from the Moritz broth
ers for allowing the horse to run at large.
They refused and exchanged some words.
Bley went to his house, got his sixshooter
and returned on his horse and shot one of
the brothers in the neck. He fell into the
arms of his wife, who was standing by. The
other brother started to run around the
corral, whom Bley, followed him and shot
him four times. The first one shot died in
side Of four hours after. Both were buried at
Colfax. Both parties were worth $4,000.

Face Reading Not Science.

New York Mail and Express.
"Physiognomy is rather a vagary
ofthe imagination than q SCIENCE"
said a prominent student of human
nature the other day, "and, there.
FORE" he continued, II, deny that the
expression ola mans face isreally the
index of the PERSONS soul, as it is
generally conceded to be, and as the
object of Language, is said to be the
concealment of thought, so the ex.
preston of ones c%ountenance is but
the mask to conceal ones inner self.
"There is q tradition that far back
in the days of which history tells US
nothing there was no speech or Ian.
guage among men, but that men
read each others want and wishes in
their faces, and as theworld was pure
nothing but purity appeared in the
expression of the human face. But
wickedness crept in, and men sought
to keep from their faces the evil that
was in their hearts, thus preventing
the countenance from becoming the
index of the soul.
ono" the speaker went on, II have
no faith whatever in physiognomy as
q science, for al a science it is fanciful
and wild. Take, for instance, the
portraits of men who have become
famous in the world of statesman.
ship, philosophy, science, art or let
tiers, and search and scan their faces
for traces to mark their fame, and
how often will you be disappointed.
The same is the case with men adopts
in vice, cunning and crime. Little
can be told from the external appear
ance of individuals as to their pecu-
liar traits and characteristics by
which they are known to their fellow
men.
"That certain habits of life affix
their stamp to face or form is, no
doubt, true, but the solution of that
condition is not in the reflex action
OF the mind and soul, but for the rea-
son that a certain set of muscles are
brought babitually into play and
cause a special developement. Is the
man necessarily all smiles and laugh
ter that has wrinkles at the outer
corner of his eyes and upward curry
ing lines around his mouth. Yet
those are the mechanical lines which
would Indicate a merry-hearted man,
if the science of physiognomy is true.
Those lines are only muscular, sim
ply the result of habit, and may be
dictated by the rankest hypocrisy.
Naturally the brutal and ignorant
classes will have coarser features.
and will possess brutal and animal
faces, generally resulting from inner
tied qualities, and, therefore, they
will do coarse and brutal things. It
will be an easy matter to trace a re-
aemblance between the faces and the
crss OF a' sad people, in whom
nate, but where will you find the me
and ear marks Of brutality in the
faces of the handsome Wilkes Booth
or the cultured and elegant Eugene
Aram? Look upon the canvases
bearing the portraits of the beautiful
and angelic fiends that ruled the En-
perors of Rome, andyou will see only
patrician faces, but they brought the
empire to destruction.
Substances of this character might
be given indefinitely, but every one
who has made a careful study of the
subject will agreet that the connection
between the facial expression and the
inner spiritual nature is a very diff
cult one to trace"

GIVING PROPER CARE.
How to Secure tho Largest Amount OF
Profit From Cows.

Secure Largest
Profit From Cows.
We may consider that there are two
important branches of work connected
with securing the largest amount of
profit in the dairy. One of these is
good cows properly cared for, and the
other is in the proper handling of the
milk, cream and butter after it is Sc
cured. 1t is not all in the COWS as
with many of these a much better prod
net could be secured if proper care was
given to the cows.
In fact, in many localities it is not
through the lack of cows, but that of
proper care that we fail TO realize the
profit that we should. Even with a
good COW it is possible to make a
considerable difference in the yield,
not only with the feed, but also the
sheltering, the watering and the gen.
eral care. And when it is through the
lack of this that we fail to derive the
benefit we should, the remedy lies
within ourselves. When it is the fault
of the cows, change may be made
necessary, but if the fault is with the
feed and care, we must change the
plan of doing this. There is really less
excuse when the fault is in the
care than with any thing else, be-
cause to considerable extent
it is the easiest remedied; we
can give good feed and good care with
very little difficulty. and often with a
very little difference in the expense.
If we must change the feed of the cows
or change the management of the milk
and cream, considerable extra expense
may be entailed even if the change is
made properly, but in giving good feed
and care. very light increase will be
necessary.
1t is not altogether the fault of the
COWS. or is the business as a rule suf-
fering so much from the lack of good
COWS as from the proper feed and care
70 secure the best results. There is no
question but that in many cases the
failure to realize fair profit from the
cows is directly traceable to the failure
to provide good feed and give good
care And there is no occasion for
selling off the cows we have until by
fair trial we have ascertained whether
it is our own neglect or the fault of
the cows to give US profitable supply
of milk.
If with reasonable good feed and
care we fail to secure a profitable
amount of milk, then it is best to make
change, but until this is the case,
keep what you have got-M D. Shop
