Wealth of the Rothschilds.

The Rothschilds believe in enjoying
their wealth, and like to have nice things
about them. One of the Frankfort barons
not long ago paid 100000 for silver
emp, which he wished to use as a center
piece of table service which he was
making up, and one of the Vienna barons
has a stable which cost him ,O0O.
This stable has marble floors, encaustic
tiles painted by distinguished artists, and
its walls are frescoed with scenes done by
well known painters. The rings, chains
and fittings of the stable are silver, and
one box stall for favorite horse cost, 1t
s said, $l2 900. The income of the owner
of this stable is about So, 900 a day.-The

In the next war, we may expect to see
dogs take u prominent part, The French
are training pack of large and fierce
mastiffs to attack dummies clothed in
Prussian uniform. The idea, if successful,
will doubtless draw attention to the use of
other animals for such purposes. America
now feeds, clothes and arms foreign ma
tons when they wish TO fight, and lends
them money when they get hard up, and
doutless we can also supply them with
all kinds of animals for war purposes.
Perhaps the American skunk might
prove even more eflicacious in battle than
the dog. At all events it would be inter.
esting to watch what the Prussian army
would do when attacked by pack 81
