How many people realize that Amer

twelve to twenty million sterling at
least per annum? Such is the fact.
Does anybody imagine that they come
here to look at our buildings and
streets? No. Upon reflection, nobody
can fail to see that the main reason
why the bulk of them visit us is to see
the places made memorable by Shake

Charlotte Bronte, Blackmore and
Black. The ndebtedness of Gradgrind
to romance is, therefore, by no means
inconsiderable, particularly when it is
remembered that we, too, spend a con-
siderable sum yearly in the same direc-
tion. Shakespeare has indirectly be-
slowed millions of pounds on the in
habitants of those places with which
his name is associated. Not to mention
Stratford-on-Avon, there is, for ex-
ample, Rochester, town which unites
recollections of the great dramatist
and of Dickens. Near Gad's Hill stands
an inn on the very spot that Shake
speare doubtless had in his mind when
writing that scene in Henry w., where
Falstaff meets with the ''men in buck
ram" Round about, as everybody
knows, are many buildings and dis
tricts made famous by the ere.

were they mistaken in their auguries.
An unheard-of influx of water bibbers

EUROPE'S ARMAMENT.
The Triple Alliance Vastly Inferior

| The Triple Alliance Vastly Inferior in
Strength to the Opposing States.
| According to a tabulated statement of
the armed strength of the various Euro
pean powers the triple alliance has !, ,I37,-
400 regulars and 9,972 guns to oppose the
| l,347, 900 regulars, and ), ,69S guns of Rus
sia and France. These figures, however,
give quite inadequate idea of the num-
Der of men in the field in case of war,
as no account is taken of the reserves
and militia. A better idea of the gigan-
tic dimensions of the coming conflict may
therefore be got from the statement of
each states full fighting strength: Ger
many, 1,0S0, 900 in line and reserves, 62O.-
900 militia of the first call, 700, 900 militia
of the second call, that is, total without
substitute reserves, 100000; Austro-
Hungary, 93S, 600 in line and reserves,
and 43s, 900 militia, that is a, total of
1875, 900; Italy, S4S, 900 in line and re-
serves, and 372, 900 militia, or total of
1,220,0OO France, 100000 in line and

army, or 100000 altogether; Russia,

and substitutes, 1893, 900 troops for occu-
| patton, $4,000 Cossacks and $1,000
militia and border guards, total of
2,392,000. Russia and France there
| fore can now place 5,590,000 men
in the field against the triple alli-

figures, however, the hugeness of the

calculated. The landsturm is the mi
litia of the very last call, which will
not be summoned to fight till the final
days of invasion and despoilation shall
have come and the all but conquered
people make one last effort to rally.
In Germany and Russia the landsturm
has not been counted. In Austro-
Hungary it numbers 445, 900; in Italy,
100000, in France, 100000. moder-
ate estimate, then, gives total of
l5,000,0 900 men ready to live or die by
the sword. The universal liability to
service, which keeps full the ranks of
all five armies, varies somewhat in the
different states. In Germany, Austro-
Hungary, France and Italy active serv-
ice lasts 8 years; in Russia, 5. The
service in the reserves lasts in Germany
years; Austro Hungary and France, Z
years; Italy 81 Russia 1S. Service
in the militia lasts in Germany to
years; Austro-Hungary, 2; Italy, 4;
Franc g. Service in the landsturm
lasts in Russia from the seventeenth to
the forty-ffth year of mans life; in
ustro-Hungary, from the nineteenth
to the forty-second. The total period
of liability to service, including the
