WARS COST AND HoRnoRs.

War is q costly business. even when
waged on comparatively small scale,
ns ,he figures recently grouped by the
Boston Globe relative to the cuban re-
volt very plainly chow. But tho Globes
figures only disclose the losses arising
from the reduction of the volume OF trade
and DO no, include the heavy expenditures
on military account.
The annual normal production and
commerce. OF tho island of Cuba II aeems
are as follows:
Sugars, I,ipo,011 tons at $50 per ton ~.
Moiasses. $4,000.
nurr $50 900 600.
Tobacco cigars and cigarettes, s5HHVl
Fruit vegeta bles. etc, s5ro.ep
Sailed aud dry hides wax. honey wood.
etc ts.fs9ra1
Iron ore. s2oco.oo0.
Total, Sai,pp.oco.
In consequence Of the rebellion ihe
trade aud production this year VIII be
below fourth of th-s. The Globe thinks
~, 900 tons OF sugar VII! be raisea La II
reports, however placed the outside i'g-
rres Mt 10000 tons. The iteniizei resonre''

The French Statesman De FreycInet and
His Argument with a Criminal.
A story is told of the French minis
ter, M. de Freycinet In the midst of
the trial Of man for high treason he
became deeply interested in an argu-
ment with the accused to the effect that
his crime might have been committed
much moro easily and cheaply.
M. dc Freycinet is q man Of fine
character and ability. Before he be-
came politician he was skillful en-
gineer. When he was president Of the
judicial council man who was accused
of helping to pull down the column
Vendome in 1871 was brought before
him.
The man confessed his guilt but
pleaded that he was young and fanatical
at the time, and that he had been
drawn into helping to pull down the
column by his pride as an engineer in
arranging scaffolds and ropes to accom-
plish the feat
You are criminal" said the min
lister severely. You insulted the his
tory and tho glory of tho country in de-
stroying that column. But" he reflect
ed a moment chow did you do it? AS
question of engineering would like
to know
"Oh, it was very simple, 4" replied
the accused, and he sat down at the ia
BILE, drew out a plan and calculated
lines, curves and angles, while tho min
lister bent over him, following the work
with interest
AS it went on, however, De Freycinet
shook his head, shrugged his shoulders
and smiled, and when it was finished
took paper and pencil and said:
THAT isn't bad, but you might have
done it much more easily and economic
ally"
Then in his turn covering the paper
with curves, angles and calculations he
proved that twice as much time and
money as were necessary had been ex-
pended.
However,, he concluded severely,
"you were guilty of high treason
against the nation and must pay the
penalty"
The engineer did not escape with a
light sentence, but he had much salts
faction in replying:
"Ah, monsieur, but did you not just
now say that it had cost me too much
already? News
