The Cost OF War.

1t appears, according to the estimates OF
French and German statisticians, there
have persisted in the wars of the last
thirty years 2,500,0 900 men, while there
has been expended to carry them on no
less than the uncomfortable sum of $lS,-
100000. OF this amount France has
paid nearly $4,000, 900, 900 as the cost of
war with Prussia, while her loss in men
is placed at 1866 900. Of these 80, 900 were
killed on the field of battle, So, 900 died Of
sickness, accidents or suicide, and 0.000
in German prisons, while there died from
other causes enough to bring the number
up to the given aggregate. The sick and
wounded amounted to At, 421, the lives
of many thousands of whom were doubt
less shortened by their illness or injuries.
According to DIR. Roth, a German au.
thority, the Germans lost during the
war 1000 men killed or rendered in.
valid, and 5000, 900, 900 in money, this
being the excess Of expenditure OF Of ma.
tcrial losses over the 1880, 900 900 paid
by France by way of indemnity. DIR.
Engel, another German statistician, gives
the following as the approximate cost Of
Crimean War. $4,000, 900. 900; Itali. n
War of 1859, $500, 600. 900; Prusso.
Danish War Of 1864, $50, 900, 900; War I
the Rebellion-North $500, 600, 900.
South $4,000, 900, 900; Prusso- Austrian
War of 1866, $3.50, 900, o0o Russo Turkish
War. $125, 600, 600; South African Wars,
sS,770. 900; African War, $l2, 250, 600;
Servo Bulgarian, $176,0 600. All these
wars were murderous in the extreme.
The Crimsan War. in which few battles
were fought, cost 750, 900 lives, only So
900 less than were killed or died of ther
wounds, North and South, during the
War Of the Rebellion. The figures, it
must be remembered, are German, and
might not agree precisely with the Amer,
can estimates. The Mexican and Chinese
expeditions cost $2,000,000 and G5 ,OOO
lives. There were $780, 900 killed and
mortally wounded during the Russia.
Turkey War, and As, 900 each in the Ital.
ian War of 1859, and the war between
Prussia and Austria. In the other wars
the loss of life was relatively less, which
did not make either the men OF money
easier to part with in the more limited
areas where they occurred. And this is
but part Of the accounting, since it does
not include the millions expended during
the last twenty years in maintaining the
vast ornaments of the European Powers,
the losses caused by stoppage of com
merce and manufactures, and tho con.
tinual arrangement of industries by the
abstraction from useful employment OF
80 many millions of persons held for
period of military service extending from
three to five years.-Toronto Mail.

SEP ARfTiON.

All! we were very near tonight
The simple word for which we longed,
And there were moments when thought
Our impulses could not be wronged!
Why was it. when you changed your place
And passed so close beside my chair,
That all the life within me thrilled
With pleasure that was half-despair2
Why was 1t that felt your gaze
Still fixed upon me as / read,
Yet, with a strange. defiant fear,
Refused too well to turn my head2
How came it that we fingered on
As one by one the rest withdrew,
Till, without seeing, | was sure
That | was left alone with your
Could you not hear my pages fast
Turned over with restless hand2
Did they not whisper all your wish
In words not hard to understand?
And, In the stiffness, did they sound
Like breathless rustlings Of the leaves
That, trembling, wait the blackenlng storm
Which silent hangs above the trees2
word had done it! With a fash
OF heavens own light from heart to heart.
Resistless leve had rent the pride
That kept our pent-up lives apart!
But ere it came, a sudden breath,
The rising wind of common life.
Blew cool upon US; and we sighed.
And turned to us our lonely strife.

Tho Wise Man and His Umbrella.

"'The wise man always carries an UNI
brella,' is a well-known old saw" said
an umbrella manufacturer, land it is not
such bad one, either; but the wise man
who carries an umbrella is still lacking
in wisdom if he doesn't place it, when it
is wet, handle downward to dry. Show
me an umbrella that has holes worn III
the silk about the ring at the top, while
the body Of the material is still intact
throughout, and l will show you an
owner of an umbrella who doesn't de-
serve to own one, N OF if it is good one !;
and show me an umbrella that has holes
in it along the ribs before natural use of
it should make them come there, and
will show you an owner who carries his
umbrella more for sake of appearance
than for utility.
"A wet umbrella placed handle down
drips the moisture from it at the edges OF
it is covered dries evenly, and leaves no
spot still soaked with water. If it is
stood handle upward the water runs
down to one spot at the top, where the
strong cloth lining about the ring holds a
good deal of it, and in a comparatively
short time rots the material, and il
breaks easily.
"The man who carries his umbrella
swathed in its case when it is not called
into use by rain, to give it and him a
more stylish appearance on parade. will
soon find it wearing out from top to bot
tom This is because of the constant
friction between the case and the silk,
and no matter of how good quality it
may be the holes will appear in it long
before they should, and the dealer who
sold the umbrella will of course be
blamed for selling inferior or damaged
goods. There are many people SO igno-
rant of the proper treatment of an UNI"
brella that they will actually roll it up
when wet, and leave it rot and mould
until the next time they want it for use.
"Of course, if it wasn't for such
thoughtful folks we wouldn't sell SO
many umbrellas. but we would escape a
great deal of grumbling and growing
from customers about the quality of
what we sell. If you want your UNI
brella, and especially good silk one. to
last twice as long as it otherwise would,
always leave it loose, whether in use or
not, and dry it opsn, handle down."
