THE ARMIES OF EURoPE.-The blosted
ornaments of the great military powers Of
Europe display their proportions in very
striking manner in Col. Vogt's work on
1.-THE European Armies OF the Present"
The moblizsd strength of France is set
down at 2,051 45S troops, exclusive of the
territorial army, which is equally large !;
that cf Russia at 1922 405 /; Germany,
1903 600, snd AustrisH Hungary, 1885, 955.
The military strength of Italy has now at
tanned proportions that would have been
deemed incredible ten years ago.
Including the militia it is alleged
to amount to 1885,, 1872 men. If, how
ever, similar inclusion be made in the case
of Russia, the military strength of that pow
or will probably be found to exceed even
that of the French republic. Compared
with these figures lie numerical proportions
of the British army ought almost to satisfy
the members of tbe Peace Society. Includ-
ing our militia and volunteers, as we'll az
the Iodian army, we can just muster 1857
troops, and these have to serve for the de-
fence of territory distributed over very
much wider area than that ruled by any of
the other powers. -London Court Journal.

Paris jury recently acquitted man
who last August, by repeated blows and
stabs with a sword cane, killed his wife.
Rstelhuber, an AsatiaD, and his wife, also
an Alsatian, had three children. Four years
ago he discovered that his wife was unfsith-
ful, and he applied for divorce. Before
the trial came on he wrote letter to his
wife's family, in which he spoke his miud re-
speeding her. Tbereupon she instituted
cross.suit for divorce on the ground that che
had been vilifed. The Court granted both
applications, but assigned the children to
the husband. On the 21st of August Ristel-
huber met his ex-wifs coming out of beer
shop in company with some women and
man. She was singing bosterously. Ris

she fell dead. Two loaded revolvers were
found in his pockets. His defence was that
there was no generalization, that be accident

A SNAKE OF ANOTHER ERA.-One Of the
most interesting natural curiosities ever seen
in this section was discovered yesterday
on the South Side. During the day the
chain gang was employed in cleaning E.
Faso vvenue, near the fountain, where the
bank on the side has been lately excavated.
Officer Preston, who is in charge of the
gang, was sitting to one side overlooking
the men and idly proddiug the bank with
sharp-pointed stick, when a small lump Of
earth and gravel was dislodged and broke at
his feet, disclosing q snowwhte snake
coiled as if ready to spring. 1t looked so
natural that the officer thought it was alive,
but touching it with bis stick discovered that
1t was dead. An examination showed that
the snake was species totally unknown
in this section, but somewhat resembled
a ground rattler. Its length was
about foot and its diameter about one.
half inch. The head Is fiat with o
sharp fiat nose curling up like scoop, and
the original color was mottled brown, al
though time has bleacbed ell but one spot.
The age of this curiosity must be immense.
1t was found sixty feet back from the origi-
nal face of the bank and eight feet from the
surface. From it's appearance it would seem
that the snake had been caught between
two rocks by the tail, ages ago, lis peculiar
position eloquently expressing its agony.
