European Armies.

1t appears that it is practically impos.
sible to ascertain the fighting strength of
the Germany army when placed on a war
footing, on account of the complicated
arrangements by which portions of the
territorial forces are worked into the
strength of the regular corps. The
present peace establishments of Germany,
France and Russia, are as follows. Ger
many, SS4 battalions, 465 squadrons, 364
batteries, 1900 mounted guns, 10, 457
officers, 46S, 400 rank and file. France,
26, 763 officers, 534, 100 rank and file,
4S0 field batteries, with 2060 mounted
guns. Russia, S4S battalions, or 1856.
312 infantry, 1928 squadrons of cavalry,
with 81, 416 men; 344 batteries of field
artillery, with 1912 mounted guns and
CT $50 men, 33t battaions of engineers
having IS, 977 men, besides 81, 130 men
of the "train" service, making total
of 562, 500 men. To these should be
added 2S8 squadrons of Cossacks num-
bering 81, 944 men; 112, $50 local troops
and ~, 634 reserve men, which will bring
up the strength of the Russian peace es-
tablishment to 799, 92S men. The Rus
sian forces when on a war footing are
estimated as follows. 994, AGO men of
regular troops, with 4030 pieces of ar
tillery; 2S0.S $40 reserve men, with GAO
guns; 1877, 730 Cossacks, with 240 guns
of their own; and 1S9, 500 supplement
AIRY reserve men, with 3S4 pieces of ar
tillery. This estimate is exclusive of
local troops. The war footing strength
of France is estimated at "about" the
following: Active army, about 2,000,-
600, divided into ten classes, according to
age: 1,022, 900 of the territorial army,
divided into five classes, according to
age; and reserve troops, divided into six
classes, numbering 762, 900, the total
amounting to 1884, 600 men.

Maori OratOrY.

The native orators of New Zealand
agree with Demosthenes that "action" is
the first, the second and the third char
acteristic of eloquence. A short time
after Bishop Selwyn settled in New Zea-
land it became necessary to remove the
Episcopal residence and college from
'Waimate to Auckland. The native
Christians of the former place opposed
the removal, and one market-day there
was a great deal OF speech-making on
the subject in front of the Bishops
house.
A powerful Maori orator opened the
debate, his audience being seated on
either side of the path leading to the
residence. Dressed in handsome native
mat, and holding a spear in his hand, the
orator began by trotting slowly up and
down the path. lie began each sentence
with a run through a given space, and
ended it just as he finished his run back.
Growing warmer and warmer, he
rushed backward and forward, leaped
from the ground, slapped his body,
shouted and waved his spear. a
stranger, ignorant of the language, would
have thought that the orator was breath
ing out death and destruction; but he
was simply urging the Bishop to stay at
Waimate.
Two missionaries who had been long
in the land replied TO the Maori orator.
One, stout, old-fashioned English
clergyman, with a broad -brimmed hat
aud spectacles, adopted the Maori action
so far as to march up and down the path
with a spear in his hand. His "action"
elected shouts of applause.
His brother, taxing spear, marked
out a large space on the gravel walk,
divided it into three parts, aud then
asked whether it was not fair that the
Bishop should live in the middle of the
diocese instead Of at the end Con-
vinced by the marked-out space, the
people exclaimed: at is just"

Biting Its Own Body.

Bill King, of Fairburn, Ga, has a
horse that has hydrophobia from all ap-
pearances. The horse at intervals has
spasms or paroxysms. 1t bites its own
legs and feet and breast. 1t is terrible
to behold how it fastens its teeth in its
own flesh and tears the skin and flesh
from its bones. King says the horse bit
him on his arm, but he did not think
anything of it until his horse became un-
manageable and he tied around his neck
a rope and tied the rope to a tree in his
lot. The horse would catch his leg in
his mouth and bite and pull it until he
threw himself on the ground, then he
he would turn and wallow on the ground
for some time, then he would get quiet,
gently get up and stand still awhile. In
few minutes he would commence his
antics again and bite the tree near him,
then the rope, and then he would bite
his breast and pull the flesh off in strips,
then he would catch his legs and pull
and bite the skin off in strips, then he
would catch his leg in his mouth and
pull and jerk until he would fall to the
ground. Every one was afraid to go
near him. Some suggested bleeding,
but no one was found who would under
take the Job. Your correspondent and
others suggested that the horse be shot
and put him out of so much suffering
and pain. The last seen of Mr.. King he
was hunting for some one to shoot his
rse.-AtLdHtG Constitution.

Electric Light and Plants.

In the course Of recent lecture before
the Royal Society, England, DR.. Siemens
placed a pot of budding tulips in the full
brightness or the electric light in the
meeting room, and in about forty min
utes the buds had expanded into full
bloom. DR.. Siemens's experiments have
been made with quick-growing seeds and
plants, like mustard, carrots, swedes,
beans, cucumbers and melons. The pots,
the lecturer stated, were divided into
four groups, one Of which was kept en-
tirely in the dark, one was exposed to the
influence of the electric lignt only, one
to the influence Of daylight only, and ono
to daylight and electric light IN success
sion. The electric light was applied for
six hours each eveniug-from 5 TO IL
and the plants were then left in darkness
during the remainder of the night. The
general result was that the plants kept
entirely in the dark soon died those ex-
posed to the electric light only or TO day
light only throye about equally, and
those exposed TO both day and electric
light throye far better than either

Ham should be broiled very quickly,

Tin cleaned with paper will shine bet

Save the juices that drain out of roasts
and steaks to add to stock for soups and
meat sauces.
Treat tired or infamed eyes with q
bath of warm water five parts and witch
hazel one part, three times day.
If the eggs you have to use for frost
ing are not quite as fresh as you could
desire pinch of salt will make them
beat stiffer.
Remove the unpleasant odor of perspi-
ration by using teaspoonful of ammonia
or powdered borax in basin of water
when washing.
Flowers can be kept fresh for some
time if pinch of soda or saltpetre is
added to the water. Wilted roses will
regain their freshness if dipped a minute
or two in hot water.
A tonic for the hair is composed Of
one-quarter of an ounce of glycerine, six
ounces of cologne, twenty drops of tine
ture of capsicum, one and one-half drains
tincture of Spanish flies. ,
The practice of rubbing the face with
vaseline or other cosmetic sometimes
makes the hair grow where it is not be-
coming. Camphor applications, like
other irritants or stimulants to the SKIN,
will cause superhuous hair.
All freshly baked bread should rest on
a wooden table, with a cloth thrown
lightly over it until it is cool enough to
put away, when you should wrap it up in
another crash towel, one that is perfectly
dry. By this means you will keep all
mustiness out of a new box.

Cheese which will instantly and in

but do not chop it. Some bits of cold
ham or bacon, cut up and added to the
veal, are very nice. Sprinkle the meat
with pepper and salt, shake -four over it
and let it stand while you make a little
white gravy. Take piece of butter the
size of walnut, rolled in flour, and stir
it smooth in a saucepan over the fire; let
it bubble for a minute, stirring all the
time, to cook the flour, then add n cup
of warm milk or cream and some grated
lamon-peel; let boil till of the consistency
of cream. Add the veal to the sauce,
and let it get quite hot, but set it back
where it will not boil, as that will make
the meat hard. Before it is taken up.
