European civilization to-day is based
on the idea that war is not only an immi.
nent possibility, but probability; and o
great class in every country has been
trained to look upon blood shedding as
its proper vocation. The great prizes are
reserved for soldiers; honor, fame, posi-
ton, and the monarch's favor go to tho
sons of Mars. The military budget ex-
ceeds, many times over does it exceed,
the appropriations for public instruction.
The salary Of colonelis earned by but few
professors. The cost of the powder and
shot wasted in Europe between any
dawn and dusk would probably pay the
running expenses of all her public hos.
pitals. In each government. whether
it be constitutional or autocratic, the army
may with truth be said to direct legisla-
ton; for the legislatures, willingly or
unwillingly, vote the appropriation de-
manded by the war department. Even
II legislature dares to question or pro.
test, it is quickly frightened into ac-
quiescing by an alarming report from the
minister Of war. Thus the military class
controls government, and has laws
passed to suit itself, and prevents all at.
tempts to cut down OF to abolish ita
power. II intimidates the State not less
really, though less openly. than the Pre-
torian Guard intimidated old Rome.
Kings and ministers do, indeed, assure
the public that they chiefly endeavor and
desire to preserve peace, but in the next
breath they call for larger funds and
more recruits; Kaiser1 meet and kiss
each other on both cheeks; they extol
the sweetness Of brotherlF love, they at.
tend each others grand maneuvers; and
then they increase the garrisons along
their respective frontiers. A strange
method this for testifying to their peace.

Burr. After TN. Duel with H.m,,tou

Barr, After the Duel with Hamilton.
When Burr shot Hamilton he did not
stop to claim his pistol, but was immedi.
ately escorted by hia second to the boat
which conveyed him to the New York
shore, aud he went to his residence Rich-
mond HilD, where he remained a fort
night, during which time public opinion
ragged against him. As soon as he could
make the necessary arrangements he left
on Southern tour. and did not return in
four years, on which occasion he sailed
as soon as possible for Europe, and wes
absent teur additional years. During
this absence his home was broken up.

lucky gentleman; at another they are
the heirlooms of an ancient New York
family, the latest instance being man
living near Utica, and those who inspect
them naturally realize with shudder the
fearful use they have served. 1t is pain
full for me to impair this illusion, but it
is proper to say of each Of these claim
ants to historic mention that if the pis-
tolls really belonged to Burr, only one
could have been used in the duel-that
is, the combatants may each havc
brought his own weapon. 1t is possible,
however, and indeed very probable, that
the seconds provided the pistols, just as
they selected the ground. measured the
distance, loaded the weapons, and, in
fact, relieved the principals of every
thing but personal risk.-New York Corr.

100 LEGS LosT PER DAY.


Arms and Legs.
@One hundred people per day are
manned in the United States.
The above astonishing statement came
from the lips Of A. A. Marks, one of New
York's largest and most successful arti-
6cial limb dealers. Mr.. Marks ex.
tplained:
sour private investigations show nearly
900 accidents per day. Hence it is 3
conservative estimate to place the daily
accidents at 100 per day. AS general
statement should say that fully 250, 900
people in the United States are MANNED
In some fashion. I have studied this
matter long time, and am convinced
of the truth of this assertion.
Railroads and machinery, of course,
are largely responsible for the aggregate
Of accidents. A year in which there is q
great deal of railroad building is sure to
be fruitful of accidents
Mr.. Marks was shown the following
paragraph:
"A dealer in artificial limbs says that an
arm will last lifetime il properly cared
for, but that after five or six years leg
gives way to the weight and strain and
has to be renewed.
aThat is not strictly true,n he said.
The average artificial leg win last 10
years; the average arm, q lifetime OF
course, all depends on use and care We
have patients whose arms and legs have
lasted over 90 years, and are still in good
condition.
@The ordinary artificial leg is made of
wood and rawhide. Papier mache has
been tried, but it is not lasting enough.
"The revolution in the method for
manufacturing arms and legs will come,
I think, with the introduction Of alum
inum, the lightest and strongest substance
known.
@Yes, it takes time to learn how to
wear an artificial leg or arm. There is
strange novelty about the new limb that
the subject has to overcome. Some pa
tients walk well from the start; others
require long practice
Fully IS per cent of artificial limbs
made are legs; is per cent arms. OF
legs, 40 per cent are right, 40 per cent
left. per cent both right aud left. Sew.
enty-eight per cent Of legs amputated are
Of males, 20 per cent are of females.
Here is table prepared after years Of
study.
