1t is not. One may he worth four

Il RICH COUNTRY.

1t may console those of US who have
but a hazy idea of where our next
meal is coming from to know that the
country as a whole is awfully rich.
and is getting richer with the regular
ity of clock work. The United States
had its total wealth computed in 1890
at sixty five billions plus thirty seven
millions of dollars. The shrinkage in
values of the past two years has been
carefully estimated at not much less
than seven billions of dollars, so that
to- day the nations total valuation is
approximately set down at sixty
three billions, plus seven hundred and
fifty millions. Of these mouthfilling
figures nearly thirds is represent
ed by the one item, "real estate"
England's total wealth is put down
by DR.. Robert Giffen, at fifty billions,
plus one hundred and seventy five
millions of dollars So that our pile
is bigger than hers by about fourteen
billion dollars. In other words, the
estate of Uncle Sam is bigger than
John Bulbs in the proportion to thir
teen to ten.
The largest single item in England's
list of assets is ''foreign and national
securities" which, DR.. Giffen says,
are held by her people to the enorm
Gus total amount of nearly twenty
six billion dollars. The lands and
buildings of England are valued at
about twenty billion dollars-just one
half the sum at which American real
estate was valued by our last census.
Frances total valuation is very
close to England's. 1t is forty eight
billion dollars, and the largest single
item, as in the account of the United
States assets, is real estate. French
lands and houses are appraised at
twenty eight billions. But France is
a large creditor nation, too, her total
holdings of securities being estimated
at sixteen billions, of which one
fourth is held in foreign bonds.
The other leaning nations rank in
wealth in the following order: Ger
many, thirty two billions; Russia,
twenty-five billions; Austria Hung
airy, nineteen billions; Italy eleven
billions.

JOSEPHINE'S FAITHLE SSNE,SS.

The court of Montebello was not
mere levee of men. There was as
we'll an assemblage of brilliant women,
of whom the presiding genius was
Nine. Bonaparte. Love, doubt, de-
cision, marriage, separation, had been
the rapidly succeeding incidents of
her connection with Bonaparte in
Paris. Though she had made ardent
professions of devotion to her hus
band, the marriage vow seems to have
sat but lightly on her in the early days
of their separation. Her husband APP
pears to have been for a short time
more constant, but, convinced of her
fickleness,to have become as unfaith-
full as she. And yet the completely
of emotions ambition, self-interest,
and physical attraction-which seems
to have been present in both, altho'
in widely different degree, sustained
something like genuine ardor in the
husband, and an affection sincere
enough often to awake jealousy in
the wife. The news of Bonaparte's
successive victories in Italy made his
wife heroine in Paris. In all the sa-
Ions of the capital, from that of the
directors at the Luxembourg down
ward through those of her more arts
tocratic but less powerful acquaint-
ances, she was feted and caressed. AS
early as April, 1896, came the first
summons of her husband to join him
in Italy. Friends explained to her
willing ears that it was not French
custom for the wives of generals to
join the camp train, and she refused.
Resistance out served to rouse the
passions of the young conqueror, and
his fiery love- letters reached Paris by
every courier. Josephine, however,
remained unmoved; for the traditions
of her admirers, to whom she showed
them, made light of a conjugal affec-
ton such as that. She was fattered,
but, as during the cOurtship, slightly
frightened by such addresses. Cent

touching little picture, with her
pinched figure and poverty stricken
dress, telling in her street dialect the
whole story, no point Of which she
lost Pathetic as it was, it was ire
sistibly funny when she closed by
saying; " And them as hasn't got no

Mrs G. was much interested in a
mission Sunday school in one of our
large cities, and spent an hour or two
every Sunday afternoon with class
of little girls, poor street waits that
had been gathered in. Upon one oc-
casion, when the last lesson had been
about the ten virgins, five of whom
were wise and five foolish, the teacher
asked, as was her custom, who in the
class could tell anything about the
lesson the previous Sunday. One lit
girl, who had never been in a Sunday
school in her life until the week be-

An English parish clerk, seeing
woman in the churchyard with bun
die and watering can, followed her,
curious to know what her intentions
might be, and discovered that she was
a widow of few months standing.
Inquiring what she was going to do
with the watering pot, she informed
him that she had been obtaining some
grass seed to SOW on her husbands
grave, and had brought little water
to make it spring up quickly. The
clerk told her there was no occasion
to trouble; the grave would be green
in good time Sc All! that may be, :"
she replied, s'but my poor husband
made me take a vow not to marry
again until the grass had grown over
his grave, and having had good Of
fer did not wish to break my VOW,
