The Cost Of Religion.

Both as purchaser of materials
and supplies and as an employer the
church has important relations to
business. 1t is manifest, therefore,
that the financial affairs of the
church must be on large scale
when all its interests are considered.
1t takes $40, 355, 900 annually to pay
the bills of the Protestant Episcopal
church, $23, 1853, 600 to pay those of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
nearly $14, 900, 900 for the expenses
and contributions of the Presbyte-
rian church (northern), eli, 673, 900
for those of the regular Baptists and
$40, 355, 900 for those of the Congre-
gational denomination, making an
aggregate of $8S, 900, 900 every year
contributed by 10, 1858, 600 members
-an average of sS.16 per member.
The grand total for all denomina.
tons could hardly be less than $780,
O00, 900, and it might be many mil
lions larger. Most of this is made
up OF voluntary contributions. The
value of church buildings, lots and
furniture in 1890 was about $780,
600, 600. 1t is quite probable that it
is now fully $500, 600, 000.-Forum.

ENGLANp,s GREAT NAVY.
Why It Would BE Practically Useless I'm
War with Germany.

Why It Would BE Practically Useless I'm
War with Germany.
Germany possesses IA largo COM
meroial marine ard enormous trade,
with relatively small extent of
coast line Our fleets could undoubt-
eddy injure her trade, but upon that
she is not dependent for her ma
tional existence. She has land from
tiers across which she can always
import any food stuffs and other
supplies which she cannot produce
for herself. By stopping her sea
borne trade we might cripple her
financially, but we could scarcely
hope, if she were in a determined
mood, to bring her to her knees. To
do that we should have to destroy
her fleet, to seize her naval ports
and perhaps even to undertake the
landing on her shores of large ex-
peditionary force. / DO not desire
to insist upon the expeditionary
force. viii contemplate only the
destruction or capture of her feet
and of her ports and the shipping in
them, and would ask, Have we
sent to sea-and indeed do we pos
sess-such naval force as could
affect those ends? The answer must
be in the negative.
The German coasts, both in the
Baltic and in the North sea, are sur
rounded by shadows, and are, even
in the most favorable circumstances,
difficult of approach for large ships.
In war time, with buoys removed
and lights e0tinguished, it would be
impossible for ironclads drawing 25
feet and upward-as all our modern
ironclads without exception do-to
get within the longest gunshot of
Wilhelmshaven, Hamburg, Kiel,
Stettin or Danzig, where alone, un-
less we could persuade the German
fleets to come out into the open, we
could expect to deal a staggering
blow.
To dream of attacking German
coasts and harbors, fortified as they
are, without the cooperation of
ironclads would be sheer folly even
if we had the operation of land
ing force. Yet we have not today
single light draft ironclad fit for
operations within range of modern
guns or herself carrying guns of
that sort. For years past we have
built large ironolads and no others.
l have nothing to urge against the
largo ironclads. Other things being
equal, the large ironclad should be-
more formidable and moro safe in
feet action in deep water than the
small ono. But that is not the only
point to be considered. in thinking
of a war with Germany.
We all recollect the futile appear
ance off the German coasts of the
French feet in 1870 Germany SIM
ply sat still behind her sand banks
and her forts and did almost moth

feted by a hard winter and perplex-
ed by the coaling problem, began to
grow weary of the enforced inactiv-
ity and went home again. AS Ger
many did with France in 1870 so
might she elect to do with Great
Britain in 1895. II she did, we
should find ourselves condemned to
fill a comparatively passive role, and
we could do nothing decisive unless
late in the day we set about building
ships OF the types which ought al

Hunting with Beagles.

Maryland boasts the best beagle
packs to be found in this country
today, and it is there that the sport
has been brought almost to perfeo-
ton. In that state number of packs
are hunted without the gun and are
trained to run their rabbits to kill.
These hounds are followed on foot,
and the chase is most interesting
and exciting. A successful pack will
Kill fairly on the ground half the
rabbits it starts, and the scores made
by some are far better than that
These beagles run with dash and
speed rarely seen in those which are
hunted to the gun. They know that
there is no time to waste; that they
must press their quarry every in
slant, or he will escape them. They
df1Ee at full speed and overrun but
litt1e When checked, they cast in
different directions, bark to one an
other instantly and throughout the
chase or with wonderful precision
and intelligence.
Such a pack is not made in day.
1t is the result of years of careful
selection and breeding from the best
stock, and its training is the work
of masters hand. Only a true
lover of hounds and hunting can
bring such a pack to perfection, and
when once it is formed constant care
is necessary to keep it from falling
below it's high standard. -Outing.

WIFE OF New Japanese Minister Has
Discarded Native Dress.
Among the recent additions to diplo-
matte circles in Washington are Min
lister Hoshi Of Japan and his wife.
Nine. Hoshi is about 33 years of age
and Of the most pleasing personal ap-
pearance. She is short, probably 4
feet 10 inches in height. Her dark
hair is very abundant, her large brown
eyes are soft, yet bright, and her com
plexion is clear and rosy. In dress,
her costume is that of the American
woman, yet as she has only recently
laid aside her native gowns, her ward
robe of western robes is limited. She
has placed herself in the hands of n
tutor, in order to master the intricacieS
of the English language, and by next
winter will no doubt be able to pre-
side at tea in the most approved style,
as far as conversational ability is con-
cerned.
Nine. Hoshi has been married ten
years, but there is only one child in the
family, a boy of 6 years of age. His
name is Hoshi Kikaru, and he is a
bright little fellow, wandering about
the house in evident loneliness for his
