The annual register of the War
Department shows that our country is
not in such state of military help
lessness as might be imagined from
the numerical strength of the regular
army, remarks the New York News. II
has often been intimated abroad, and
very truthfully, that the army of the
United States would hardly make a
complete picket line for one of the
great armies of Europe. But we have
national guard of more than hun
dred thousand soldiers. This body,
in case of need, would quickly form
the nucleus of an army that would
amaze Europe. The grand army OF
the United States is made up of work.
ers, not drones. Instead of sappine
industry for their maintenance, they
are daily adding to the wealth of the
country. Experience shows that they
could very quickly doff the habili-
ments of peace and don tSe grim
equipments of war.

The Cosmopolitan Magazine offers a

The Cosmopolitan Magazine offers a
prize of $500 to any CIe who can,
within the present year, make sug-
gestion or perform an experiment that
will throw some light on the nature of
gravitation. The Boston journal of
Commerce says of the offer: Here is
the chance for every mechanic to
take home with him piece of load
stone and GO to work evenings and
study out how it can draw SO many
needles and pins to its surface without
having anything to draw with. If the
least hint can be obtained as to the
working of even two-cent magnet
the nature of gravitation will follow
in the same vein, for they both have
got knack that no mortal man has
caught on to-" 1t is an interesting
problem, in any event, concludes the
Atlanta Constitution, and the
means for its attempted solution
are cheap enough. Anybody
can afford to buy "a two-cent
magnet" with the prospect of winning
$500 by the use of it in his leisure
hours. II beats the "Pig in the Pen"
and "Ferris Wheel" puzzles long
way, and especially for the reason that
you can really work at it in your mind
wherever you may be. The subject,
too, is very simple and familiar one,
and for the encouragement of those
who may be inclined to study it out
it may be mentioned that the princi-
pie was deduced in the first place by
an old gentleman from the fall of an
apple in garden. All that remains
to be determined now is why the apple
fell in the garden instead OF floating

and then look at the tender faces of
the little ones, so confident that the
father can take care of them. Yet
we know that in.thousands of homes
in the happy land Of America this
tragedy is being enacted. If we
knew that some fiend was passing
from house to house, killing women
and dashing children's brains out,
how long would the good people
permit it to continue? Yet poverty
is worse. The slow, dull agony at
heart, the faint flicker Of expecta-
ton when returning feet are heard,
the death weight ON the heart, when
she reads on his face, "no work."
This is a pain which no rich and
happy woman can understand.

how cruelty precious a dollar can
seem-to understand what real suf-
fering is. One must realize what it
is to be cold and hungry in the

up to the Queens taste. If those
who take McEwen's Letter think
they are getting spicy reading they
should take the Post, read Hume's
letters, and they will begin to Won
der where they found anything very
interesting in the Letter. Hume is
not opposed to reform, truth, virtue,

such doctrines, and that he can
prove it. Almost everybody in the
