EUROPE

The peace of the Old World seems to
be uncertain at present, and looks as
though the cannon may again roar
over the old battle fields.
The republics of Europe today con-
sist Of Andora with 10000 population;
France, with 40,OOO,OOO; San Marine,
5000; Switzerland, 100000; while the
empires are as follows: Austria, in
Guiding Hungary, 36,OO0,O 900; Germany,
IL 900 900; Russia. 72,000,000 Turkey,
l6,500,0 900; and the Kingdoms claim the
following: Belgium, 100000; Den
mark, 100000; Great Britain, 35,0O0,-
600; Greece, 100000; The Neither
lands, 100000; Italy, 270o0,0O0;
Portugal, 100000; Spain, 17,OO0,O 900;
Sweden and Norway, 100000, and
the principally of Monare with 1900.
Here is the population of Europe to-
day and it is immense. Each country
has its own particular interest to
defend and guard.

THE WAR SPECK

The idea Of war with Italy is, in
the language of Mr., MOriarity, "more
or less diyertin." Humbert probably
feels as if he ought to do something to
make his people think he is a kingly
king, and keep them in conceit with
themselves. There are people still
living in secluded portions of North
Carolina, East Tennessee and South
ern Georgia, who think that their
horizon is the boundary of the world,
or even the universe, if they know
that there is universe, and doubtless
the great mass of the ignorant people
Of Italy think that the United States
is simply SASSY" little island.
The amount of it all would be,
however, in case of war with
Italy, Uncle Sam would take about
two bites at the.boo shaped peninsula
and that would settle it, while the
balance Of the Malta in this country
would find the land so torrid Trey
would be forced to take to the water.
The HERALD's pressman recalls the
fact, however, that Italy has quite a
navy, and he fears that in the event
Of an Italian man of war steaming
into Belingham bay, the growing
rascal might throw shell over here
and displace some of the rollers on
his presses, and the foreman is in
trepidation lest such a circum-
stance might ''pi" his beloved
font of "long primmer gothic
condensed" With these dangers in
view both of these important accesso-
ries to our dailyappcaranceasa widely
circulated and influential religious
journal have given notice that
on the day war is declared the
print-shOp must be moved back of
Chuckanut mountain or they will de-
mand their time. So the war has al
ready bred uneasiness in this atmos-
phere. We shall hope that it will be
avcrted.

/ CHEERFUL CORRESPONDENT

In a communication from Mountain
View to the Whatcom Reveille, follow
ing are eight out of sixteen para
graphs, and they contain a good hint
to numerous doctors who have written
to this paper concerning the outlook
for business in these parts. Fair
haven physicians say that this city is
distressingly healthy, but Mountain
View seems to offer facilities for the
physic business, otherwise the
Beveilles correspondent is playing"
the town with what a distinguished
judge on Puget Sound would call ga
copper" The correspondent writes in
this cheerful way:
Edward Baston is on the sick list
Mr.. Hayward is suffering from an at
tack of la grippe.
Mr.. Ed. Boston is suffering from la
grippe.
Mr.. Collins children are afflicted with
the measles.
Mrs. Breets, wife of the NJ f. minister
is very lOy with consumption.
The daughter of Mr.. Cissna, who ar
rived from the East few days since, i,
very sick.
Measles, pneumonia, la grippe and colds
are exercising their influences to disa-
greeable degree in Mountain View.
There is a great deal of sickness In
Mountain View at present, and in fact
has been during the winter. There have
been more deaths in the past six months
than many years previous. The infant
daughter Of Mrs. s. Fulgem was buried
on Tuesday

very hard to tell what the outcome
will be: but there is no doubt that
the present map of Europe will be
greatly changed, and many of the
smaller governments will be brought
under the control of larger powers.
There is no danger of Russia losing
any Of her territories by an European
war, but on the other hand the car
would enlarge his sway. Norway and
Sweden are content in their northern
home with no danger OF conquest eX-
cept from Russia, and they are liable
to remain as they are for years.
Old mother England is happy in her
island home, self-satsficd with the
idea that she is ruling the commerce
of the world and swaying the trident
Of Neptune. Sweden and Norway
may after time fix up a plan of an
neXation and pass under one govern

SOMETHING ABOUT FOOLS

This is "An Fools Day" and if
what Puck says about mortals is true,
IL should be a universal holiday. But
the good book says, "He that calleth
his brother a fool is in danger of -
well a climate where, if orthodoxy
faileth not, the people don't get ice
cream at dinner for obvious reasons.
However, foOlishness has prevailed
ever since the world began, more or
less, and often in high places, and we
have it from excellent authority that
it is a good thing in its place, as "a
little nonsense now and then is rel
ished by the best Of men" This is
probably the best excuse that can be
mustered for the seemingly idiOtic
practical Jokes that are frequently
practiced on the First Of April. A
great many columns have been writ
ten and published concerning the
origin of the customs, pertaining to
the day. that are INDUCED by those
who celebrate it, but as it would seem
work Of supererogation TO reproduce
them here, or any Of them, this Screed
will turn TO what was intended in it
at the start, with the simple state
ment that the recurrence Of "All
Fools Day. suggested it. The clown
has said, in one Of his antediluvian
Jokes, "SOme men are born fools while
Others are fools for money" Many
very great men have made fools Of
themselves now and then for money
or its equivalent, and for
the purpose OF achieving
their ends. Napoleon the Great
wonderful man that he was,
often found it necessary to be
a bufToon in the cabinet and a
mailman in diplomacy, as mark his
famous interview with the pope. Such
men must analyze the secret springs
of human action and calculate inn
pulse, which, though an uncertain
quantity, is yet powerful factor, and
he must play upon them like a piper
on his pipes. Shakespeare has said Of
conquerers and kings, founders Of
sects and systems, sophists, bards and
statesmen, all care themselves the
fools to those they fool"
When in transport of rage Alex
ander, the Macedonian, speared his
friend Clitus, and when in an amor
Gus fit he burned Perseopolis, at the
suggestion Of That's, he was acting the
fool most refreshingly. When Julius
Caesar left his imperial dictatorship to
"caper nimbly" in a dance attendance
upon Cleopatra, we almost laugh. TO
this day, at such a fool, but he was
not so great fool after all as Marc
Antony, for the one was fool for his
purpose, while the other became a
fool in earnest. Caesar was the grand
est OF lovers and left his role to re-
sumo dominion, while Antony became
SO fatally charmed by the Serpent of
the Nile" that manhood and empire
fell away from him, and left his all the
easy prey of Augustus, the willy
and cold-blooded, and his council of
epicene advisors. Cromwell for the
furtherance Of his ends, descended TO
a jargon which he mixed with wisdom
TO catch tho fealty of his soldiers.

1t is a sad comment on our state
that we have no reform schools for the
bad boys who infest the streets of our
towns and cities. In the large cities
there is a crop of young toughs grow
ing up who are destined for the peni-
Tertiary and the gallows if they are
not checked in their hayward career.
1t is not the proper thing to lock
these youthful lads in jails and pris-
ons with old and hardened criminals
