Genera Tuerr. . Hungarian engin.

~
General Tuerr. Hungarian engin:
ser, has published an article in
paper of Athens, in which he sums up
the cost of keeping Europe in the
condition of an armed camp since the
war between France and Germany in
1870 at $50, 900, 900, 900. In other
words, Europe is paying billion OF
dollars a year in order to be ready to
go to war at o moment notice. Should
war actually break out, it is estimated
that it would cost billion dollars n
month. Should it last long it coull
only end in the bankruptcy OF the
great Powers carrying itou. Iuleel,
this is the result to which General
Tuerr thinks Europe is tending, apart
from the question OF the outbreak OF
hostilities. With the present peace
establishments the process is slower,
but the tendency is the same.

more in Ladies Home Journal The
years may 90 and come. and yet she who
cloaks herself in this mantle is at once
happy herself and the giver Of hAppi-
ness. In cut it never changes. Il is al
ways large and full, so that it can en-
velop those who are unhappy and give
them warmth and comfort Like the
cloak worn by the prince in the fairy
tale, il is invisible to all bnt those whose
eyes are made clear by faith. II is the
garment that would like my girls to
wear. 1t is true that much patience and
much self denial are required before
this cloak is put on, as it should be, for
all time. but once assumed the amount
Of joy TO be got from it and the happy
heartbeats TO the wearers Of it cannot
