UNITED STATES AND EUROPE.
Alarm In tho Old World at the Rapid
Strides of Brother Joncttan.

Strides of Brother Joncthan.
Paris Figaro: The United States
does not threaten us from military
point of view, but from an economic
point of view it constitutes for US an
immediate and pressing danger. The
debt contracted by the United States
during the civil war will be COM
pletelyn extinguished before the end
of the century, while the total
debt of the European countries is
reckoned to amount to the formidable
figure of 126 milliards of francs The
United States maintains an army of
only q, 900 men-about the number in
Guided in a single one of our army
corps. In Europe there are $500, GEO
men kept in military service in time of
peace, and it is easy to recognize what
loss in their productive capacity is
caused to European states annually.
1t must be borne in mind that the men
thus taken away from peaceful work
are all at the maximum of their
strength and at the age when a MANS
character is formed. The loss result
ing from such a state of things is
frightful when considered as factor
in the industrial struggle against the
United States. 1t would be sheer
blindness not to see that in these con-
ditions the progressive and rapid de-
velopment of the United States
menaces Europe with such d COMPETE
ton that the time viii surely come
when the axis of industrial power, Of
human activity, and Of political in
fuence will be changed to the advan-
tage of the New World.
This evolution movement threatens
France more than any other European
mutton, because it is France which is
bearing the heaviest burdens and
which has the largest debt. Every
where in Europe, even among the
smallest nations, they are talking at
this moment only of ornaments, in
crease of soldiers and war material.
and naturally, also, of new taxes In
1870 Europe devoted annual lily to the
preparation for war the sum Of about
three milliards; at present the annual
expenditure for the same purpose is
five milliards. In 1870 Europe kept on
peace footing little more than
100000 men; to-day she keeps more
than $4,000 In 1879 Europe esti-
mated that, in case of war she could
place in line, as supreme effort, about
z 100000 men: to-day she could have
u 500, 600, and her legislation sends to
sXffy that number to $4,000, 900.

4 Cathedral Dungeon.

Chichester cathedral has a secret dun geon, having heavy and massive door. It is also provided with a secret en- trance, admission to which is obtained by sliding panel in a room at one time used as library. The cathedral, found ed in 1870, was renovated after a fire in 1114, and restored after another fire in 1187. It consists of nave of eight bays and four aisles, transept with chambers instead of aisles, a central steeple and southwest tower.
 Carlisle cathedral, during the period of the Jacobite rebellion, was used as a huge dungeon, and many rebels were imprisoned there in 1745. The chief en- gineer in the royal forces even demand ed the bells as his perquisites, which claim the dean and chapter successfully resisted. Having been used for this purpose, the cathedral was left ill such an intolerable state of filth that not till after six weeks cleansing and burning of much sulphur and tar could it be used for service.-London Tit-Bits.

Two Fresh Air Boys.

Among the fresh air children from New York at one of the western Penn sylyania mountain towns was a bright faced but sickly looking boy. He had never seen so much greenness before nor sniffed into his snub nose so much fresh air, and while he seemed to enjoy it all he did not show so much enthusi- asm as the other children. He was no- ticed by the kind hearted farmer at whose house he was staying, and by few adroit questions his story was learned. He wanted his little brother Billy to be with him, he said.
 Billy had one fresh air visit, but he was sick and ought to have another. He had wanted the man in New York to let Billy come again in his place, but the man thought Billy's brother needed the outing more than Billy. The farmer could not resist the appeal, so he wrote to New York and at his own expense had Billy brought on. When the time was up, the farmer and his good wife concluded to take the boys as their own, and the New York parents being not loath the arrangement was made. And that is how two fresh air children got mountain homes.-New York Recorder

Making Up the Face.

Actors have always painted the face to render it more expressive, or rather to give it some sort of expression wher seen at distance which it would other wise lack if. as in ancient Greece, masks were not employed for that purpose China furnishes probably the best exam pie of the antiquity of the custom. The use of the mask in Greek theaters, which were vast and had not the modern re- source of achromatie glasses, was ex- cusable or even necessary. The Roman theaters were smaller. and the desired facial expression was obtained by the application of color. In Shakespeare's time, when female parts were played by men, painting of the face was absolutely essential to the required illusion. Sim liar reasoning is used on the modern stage when painting the face is consid. cred necessary for the stimulation of youth or age, or to make the features more expressive at distance.
 The practice is in many cases excusa- ble or even indispensable, for if the actor or actress has not good stage face, but one of those round, inexpress- i've countenances in which eyes, nose and mouth are at the distance of 20 feet inextinguishably blended, it is certainly permissible to obtain some measure of facial expression by artificial means It is another question whether the contem- porary woman should ever apply any substance to her face to make her appear younger, more beautiful or in any sense what she is not.-San Francisco Chron- icle.

A Rows Mud Turtle.

A small boy in Maine who brought home mud turtle from pond quar- ter of mile away noticed that when ever set free the turtle set off in bee line direction toward the pond. The boy tried to confuse the turtle in every way he could devise, but the turtle was too smart for him and always started of in the right direction as if he knew where he was going and was bound to get there in the quickest time possible. And now the boy has puzzled the whole township by demanding to know how that turtle knew in what direction his ancestral pond lay.-New York Times.
