Cost of European Armies.

The war charges of the several Euro
pean countries are as follows: Austria,
500, 900, 900. or 81 81 per capita; England,
STA 000,0 900, or 81 SO per capita; France,
$l6l 900, 600, or 81 % per capita; Ger
many, Sill 900, 900, or S2 SO per capita;
Italy. $6S. 200, 900, or So 2S per capita;
Russia, sl9S. 900. 900, or 81 81 per capita;
Spain, s35, 900. 900. or 81 O6 per capita.
One is not surprised to find that Russia
spent more for war purposes than any
other country. But one is rather sur.
prised to see that England stands second
in the list in this respect, and actually
expends more per capita for war purposes,
and more than twice as much per capita
as any other country excepting France.

A Creakinq Hinge

Isdry and turns hard, until oil is applied,
after which it moves easily. When the
joints, or hinges, of the body are stiffened
and inflamed by rheumatism, they can
not be moved without causing the most
excruciating pains. Ayers Sarsaparilla,
by its action on the blood, relieves this
condition, and restores the joints to good
working order.
Ayers Sarsaparilla has effected, in our
city, many most remarkable cures, in
cases which baffled the efforts of the
most experienced physicians. Were it
necessary, could give the names OF
many individuals who have been cured
by taking this medicine. In my case it

to be detriment to his business to have
wool protected, or even if 1t is proven to
be of no benefit, then by all means let
the duty be removed.
Under that system the flocks of the
country have multiplied, while the indi-
vidual character of the sheep has been
improved nearly 200 per cent as wool
growers. In all discussions of prices and
the history of wool-growing it should be
kept in mind that the average clip of the
United States is six pounds per head.
In 1860 it was % pounds. Wool can
therefore be grown cheaper than then,
simply because of the intelligence and
skill of wool-growors. A million of
sheep now produce 100000 pounds of
wool. In 1860 they produced two and a
half million pounds. This competition
has cut down prices, but it has benefited
the flocks, their owners and the farming
interests of the country generally.

Tho Detectives of Berlin.

The detectives of Berlin are the
nearest approach in stolidity to those
of London. There is really very little
crime in the German empire, on &C
count of the extraordinary sentences
that are imposed and the strict mill
tary discipline that prevails through
out the empire, and which has it's
highest development in Berlin. On
this account the most experienced and
capable detectives are taken out of the
criminal service as rapidly as possible,
and promoted to the official depart
ment.
Their duties consist solely in watch
ing socialism and guarding eminent
Germans from bombs and dynamite.
Bismarck for instance, never travels
without the protection Of at least two
Of the crack officers of the detective
corps, and, when he takes ride in the
park, or even ventures on q short
official visit to one of the departments,
q man precedes and follows him. The
vigilance is severe and thorough. The
emperor l may remark in passing is
never guarded by detectives but his
personal staff hover about him in q
fashion that renders any interference
from Nihilists or Socialists well nigh
impossible. AS to the skill of the Ger.
man detectives, it cannot, think, be
compared for moment with that OF
the police of Paris or New York.-New

Peculiar Idea About Religion.

A student deeply versed in ecclesias-
teal matters recently advanced a very
peculiar idea while conversing with
friend. He said that the established
religion of a country owed its princi-
pal doctrines less to faith than to the
conditions of its climate and surround
ings. He cited the beautiful religion
of the natives of India, who would not
eat anything that had once lived, be-
cause, while all could take away life,
only One could give it. He argued
that q religious belief like that could
only have its origin in an intensely
hot climate like that of India, where
animal food is not necessary to sus-
tain life. Among the Laplanders such
a religion could never obtain, because
it was absolutely necessary for, the
inhabitants of SO high q latitude to
keep the warmth of the body up to a
certain heat. Nothing but animal fat
could do that. New York Sun.

Dissipation of vital Energy.

Truly did Emerson designate dissi-
patton as the greatest evil in life. He
did not mean dissipation in the narrow
and common sense of excess of drink
ing. He meant dissipation of all sorts
the dissipation of vital energy in
the pursuit of trivial objects, social
dissipation, waste of time, waste of
money, waste in general. Social dis
sipation is one of the most harmful
forms of dissipation, because it is SO
insidious, apparently SO innocent. We
are commanded to love our neighbors,
but we are not commanded to call ON
them two or three times week. The
amount of time consumed in superhu-
Gus and purposeless social intercourse
in this world is something positively
appalling. New York Commercial
Advertiser.

SHIPPING PRODUCE.

An exchange makes few remarks
that can be read to advantage by all
shippers. 1t points out the necessity OF
shipping goods to market in fine condi-
ton, in order that the better prices can
be obtained:
"Time and again we have noticed
dressed poultry shipped here; although
it was unquestionably fresh, it was in
such a condition as far as looks were
concerned that it would be unstable.
Care must be exercised not only in pick
ing fowls clean, but in cooling them OIL
sufficiently before packing, and also in
selecting plump ones.
"In regard to eggs, it is folly to hold
them for too long period in order TO
make large shipment. If they arrive
here in fresh condition and continue TO
do so, better prices can be obtained, for
such eggs are always in demand.
1.-THE greatest carelessness that our
commission merchants have to contend
with is the neglect in packing and ship
ping of dairy butter. Some shippers
have an idea that any kind of a package
is good enough to ship butter in and the
consequence is, when it arrives here you
can hardly distinguish which is the most
prominent smell, the butter or the pine
which it has absorbed. Roll butter Is
sent to this market in every manner ana
shape, vet we have no doubt that every
shipper imagines his butter is first-class
and should command the highest market
price. The country merchant should select
: good, reliable commission merchants and
trust on their judgment as to the market
value of their goods. Do not imagine be-
cause your goods happened to arrive
here when the market was oyerstocked
and had to be sold at lower figure than
you anticipated, that the commission
merchants are robbng you. Competition
is too great in this city to enable mer-
chant to do dishonest business for any
length of time without being found out.
Shippers should keep thoroughly posted
on prices, and should also bear in mind
that prices are rather uncertain for any
period, and some days even a few hours
makes decided change in the market,
the condition of which is governed entire
ly on the receipts and demand of goods
received"
