Europe's Burden.

There is continually talk of war in Eu-
rope, and the general impression is that
war cannot be averted very long. 1t is
agreed that when it comes it will be a
contest of greater magnitude than the
world has yet seen. 1t is not expected
that it will be long war, because the
armies are so great that no one of the
powers could stand for more than few
months the drain upon its resources that
would be necessary to keep the ranks of
its army full and provide supplies.
In 1867 the armies of Europe numbered,
when modified for war, 6,95S, 600 men.
In 1892 they numbered y ,563, 900 men, and
when the new military laws in France
| and Germany go into full force they will
number q, 46S, 600 men. OF this number
! Germany has 5000, 600 France 4,350,00O,
Russia 4 1000 600, Italy 2,236 900, Austria
Hungary 300, 900, Spain 500, 600 and Eng
land COZ 900. All the other countries
have very large military forces.
heamount of money required to sup
port those armies is a thousand millions
of dollars annually. This immense sum
must be paid from the earnings of the
people.
The question naturally arises, how long
will the people consent to support these
vast armies They have been grumbling
! for a long time at the burden the armies
! impose upon them, and it was only after a
| protracted struggle that the Emperor of
! Germany -succeeded in getting the
consent OF hisL parliament to an in
crease in the army of the German
empire. The emperor declares that
great army is necessary to
insure peace. If one power increases its
army the others feel they must increase
theirs Neither Germany nor any other
European power, however, can increase
its army to much greater extent with
out drawing so heavily upon the producers
as to impoverish them.
But is the Emperor of Germany right
in saying that great armies insure peace?
A different opinion is held by many. A
very little thing may precipitate a war
/ that will involve the whole of Europe.
! The Siam affair came near bringing on a
war between England and France. A
war between those powers would not have
been confined to them Germany and
/ Russia, and perhaps other powers, would
/ have participated in it. 1t is the hope that
/ a great European war will be averted.
! but the opinion is that such a war will
/ occur in the near future.

A Story of ''Fitz, Lee.

The favorite of middle-aged and young Viz

enemy in the state no man knows who it is,
| says Richmond correspondent of the New
| York Times. General Lee was one Of the
most promising young officers of the famous
Second cavalry In the old army, before he be-

but for his sagacity would have met with the
fate of General Custer in his last fight Fitz-
hugh Lee distinguished himself
Toward the close Of the action he was
struck in the side by an Indian arrow. After
walking about for half an hour after the fight
was over he got tired of the thing sticking
out, and it began to hurt, too So he waited
until the wounded were pretty well picked up
and attended to. Then he said
Pull this devilish thing out, some of you
fellows, can't yOuE'
A man gave it strong tug, but it would
not come. He lay down on his left side. and,

was terrible. Directly the head came of in

Just then Zymanski, an officer in the regi-

Lieutenant Lee was so badly wounded, and as
he approached the group that was very sor-

where big round bullet and two buckshot
had gone through within two inches OF each

"Ah, Zymanski, said Lee, laughing you
can't fool us that way. You set your hat up
on a stump and shot those holes through your
self; you know you did
Everybody laughed.

A Tribute to the National Game.

Mr.. Hill of New York and Mr.. German Of

of shame, says the Washington Post. The

Two Good Appointments.

President Cleveland made two important
appointments yesterday. Mr.. Hornblower Of
New York. who is appointed to succeed
Justice BlaIchford. is a man of brains and
Mr. Allen who succeeds Mr.. Potter at Rome
is a man of wealth. Mr.. Horn Blowers ap-
pointment is one of the best the President has
made and Mr.. Allen will no doubt meet the
special demands as an American ambassador
perfectly. Mr.. HOrnblower will be among the
youngest men who have been given seats on
the supreme bench, but he won a big reputa-
ton and large income at the bar while still
much younger No one will question his tit
ness for the place.

A Mohammedan Hymn.


rum JllC OultdEO G1CTdlu.
THE following extract from one of MANY
similar poems Of Shereef Hanum Turkish
Moslem lady of Constantinople, rendered into
English by Rev, H. o. Dwight, is certainly as
spiritual in thought ana language as most OF
the hymns sung In Christian churches:1
o Source Of Kindness and of Love,
Who gives aid all hopes above,
Mid grief and guilt although grope,
From Thee I'll ne 'er cut of my hope,
My LCrd, . my Lord
Thou, King of kings dost know my need,
Thy pardOning grace no bars can heed;
Thou Low st to help the helpless ore.
And bidd st his cries of fear be done,
My Lord, O my Lord
Should st Thou refuse to still my fears
Who else will stop to dry my tears
For l am guilty, guilty still,
No other one has done so i'll,
My Lord, o my Lord
The lost in torment stand aghast
To see this rebels sin so vast;
What wonder, then. that Shereef cries
For mercy, mercy e'er she dies.
My Lord, o my Lord
