As drunkenness is o vice most common to
men the statistics show that women are
more tolerant Of 1t than of other causes of
unhappiness, and 1t is fair to presume more
SO than husbands would be. During the
last twenty years there have been granted in
the United States 161, 900 divorces; of this
number only $4,000 have been for drunken
ness.
They take good care of the Pope His
resident physician follows His Holiness about
almost like his shadow, and is forever going
to and fro with Thermometer in his hand,
looking out for the slightest breath of an in
trusive draught that might venture to blow
rudely near the Head of the Church. Some.
times these precautions are carried to an
| absurd pitch. When Leo XIII was to Off
ciate during the winter at the Sistine Chapel
the doctor had huge braziers of charcoal set
burning there all night beforehand, and
when the morning arrived the atmosphere
was so oppressive that half the ladies had to
leave the chapel fainting while mass was be-
ing read, and the Pope himself got such
violent headache that he could scarcely get
through the service, and was quite i'll all the
rest of the day from it.
The latest comparison between the armies
OF France and Germany places the former
ahead numerically, while the latter is prepar-
ing to close the gap with the aid of the recent
law. France on peaee footing has $40, ,54S
men, and the law of FIVE years. service re-
Gently enacted permits her to add 600, 200
men to her territorial army. Other reforms
| increase the annual contingent by 10000
men, and this brings it up to 100000. By
counting the twenty-five contingents under
the law with their total losses, which are es-
timated ct one-quarter, the effective force
for mobilization amounts to 4,125, 900. In
Germany the annual contingent is 1874, 900
recruits, 5000 yearly volunteers and II ,45O
reserves, giving total for this contingent of
1sO,450. For the twenty-four oontingents,
and taking into account the losses, we arrive
at grand total on war footing of $780,
600 men. Consequently France could mobil.
ize at the present time 775,0OO trained col
diers more than Germany.

honor which is his due. For fifty years Inc
Chukei was not interested in scientific pur-
suits, and then he abandoned his brewery
and his business and devoted himself with
ardor and determination to the acquisision
of knowledge respecting his native islands.
After seventeen years of continuous labor,
during which he travelled with quadrant,
azimuth, circle, compass and clock over
every square acre of the Empire, he pro-
duced in 1918 a survey of the country which
has formed the basis of every map since
made. There is something inspiring in the
| thought of this scientific brewers drudgs1y
and perseverance in undertaking in ad-
vanced years SO arduous task. Love of
| knowledge became the passion of his life and
he completed his surveys in the true scien.
tific spirit. Several memoirs have been
written on Ino Chukei's practical skill and
painstaking care as a photographer, but his
fame was rapidly passing out of mems
minds when the proposal was made to erect
a monument at Shiba, within sight of his
first station in beginning his survey. This
monument has recently been unveiled with
imposing ceremonies.
