Suicides OF Soldiers.

The last number of the journal of
the American Statistical Association
gives some curious facts concerning the
number of suicides in the ranks, and
more especially among the officers, of
all the great European powers. The
Austrian army takes the lead in this
matter. From 1875 to 1887 yearly
average of 122 suicides is recorded for
every 100000 effective troops. In 1889
the number was 149. Death by suicide
represents a fifth part of the whole
mortality of the Austrian army.
No disease is more deadly.
number; the Italian army about one
third; the French army about one
fourth; the English army in the home
service about one-sixth; the rate in the
Russian army is nearly the same, while
in the Spanish army it is least of all.
There are some curious facts about these
suicides. In the European armies, es-
pecially in Austria, it is the young SOL
diers who kill themselves during the
first month of their service. Suicides
are the most frequent among the cav
airy and infantry, and IN the latter
among the soldiers who are accused
and awaiting trial.
The most frequent method is shoot
Ing, though hanging ana drowning are
frequent methods. The infantry use
firearms and usually aim at their heads.
The mounted soldiers hang themselves
bv their horse brides. The Algerian
soldiers almost always shoot themselves
through the body, perhaps because the
Arabs think it is infamous to mutilate
the head. In Austria third of the
suicides are attributed to distaste for
military duty; in France, love trouble is
very frequent cause; the fear of pun
ishment is everywhere a great in
centive. The maximum Of suicides is
reached in the hottest weather. and the
minimum is reached in the coldest
weather. The late Mr.. Buckle affirmed
as a law of civilization that there is
periodic regularity in the suicide
mania, and this testimony OF the sui
cides in the European armies goes far
to confirm il.

Armament of Europe.

Some of us are old enough to remem-
Der the chorus of philanthropic APP
plause with which the first of the
great world fairs-that of London in
1S51-was hailed by the good people of
both hemispheres. They said-and
doubtless believed-that a new and
beneicient era had dawned upon
Christendom; that the millennium, If
not actually at hand, was at least in
sight; that this magnificent exhibition
Of the fruits Of peaceful industry was
the dawn of the ng-promised day
when Swords shall be beaten into
hooks" when nation shall not lift up
sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more" Yet 1T would
seem as if that congress Of peace had
ushereG in such period of war as the
world has rarely seen. First came the
Crimean war, than the war of the In
dian mutiny, then the war between
Austria and Italy, then the war Of
France and Italy against Austria, then
the Austro-Prussian war, then our own
civil war, then the Turco-Russian war,
and then the Franco-German war,
without counting a half dozen or more
minor wars IN which Christian nations
were engaged.
To-Day Europe happens TO Do AG peace.
yet never in all history were there such
preparations Tor war as is now. Take
the five great continental powers as sut-
ficient illustration. Russia has, in round
numbers, 100000 drilled and disci-
plined soldiers Germany. 3,500,000;
France 100000; Austria 1900, 900;
Italy, 1900, 900, making total Of Is, 000:-
600 trained fighters, ready for fight, say
ing nothing Of the naval forces or of the
military establishments of the smaller
nations. The legions or regular army Of
Rome never amounted to over $1,000
men when the imperial power was at
it's height, and if we add the auxiliaries,
or irregulars, the total will not exceed
700, 900 at the utmost. Italy alone can
muster double this number. ''The
Grand Army" with which Napoleon
crossed the Nieman for the invasion Of
Russia in 1912, had 525, 900 men actually
present for duty. Germany alone put
100000 in the field for the war of
1S7O.'71 And, it is needless to say, all
the great European powers are lncreas-
ing their ornaments from year to year.
so that to-day Europe is only a vast
combination of barracks and camp.
Evidently, then, the transformation
of swords and spears into plowshares

French Peasants or To-day.

N. Betham Edwards, in her "France
OF To-day" speaks again and again OF
the benefits accruing from the owner
ship of land by the peasantry. AS a
native of England she seems to have
been peculiarly impressed by this fea-
ture of life across the channel. She
writes with special enthusiasm of Osse,
"a remote Pyrenean village admirably
adapted for the study of rural life. !"
"a beautiful spirit of humanity" she
declares, "a delicacy, rare among the
most polished societies, characterize
these frugal sons and daughters Of the
soil.''
AS sordidness carried to the pitch of
brutality is often imputed to the French
peasant, let me relate an incident that
occurred hereabouts not long before my
visit.
The land is infinitely divided, many
possessing a cottage and field only.
One of these small owners was sudden
ly ruined by the falling of a rock; his
cottage, COW and pig were destroyed
Without saying word, his neighbors,
like himself in very humble circum-
stances, made up purse of 500 francs,
a large sum with such donors, and, too
delicate-minded to offer the gift them
selves. deputed an outsider to do it
anonymously.
Another instance in point came to
my knowledge. This was of young
woman servant, who, during the ILL
ness Of her employers, refused to accept
wages.

Peasant property and rural life gen.

small holdings, their owners neither
buying nor selling, making their little
crops and stock almost completely sup
ply their needs.

Three rough hands were raised with
three twenties, when a husky voice
shouted at the edge of the crowd:
''Hold in yer. bronchos, boys. Pm

The six-shooter was cooked with an

coughed, hesitated and would have said
