Cost of the Civil War
(From the Chieago Newsl


H. C. B. writes: 81 have made quite an effort
recently TO find out the cost Of our civil war
In the public library find estimated about So
900, 100000. This reached by adding the war
revenues for the four years 10 the national debt.
But | wanted something nearly accurate of the
whole cost, national, State. county, municipal
and individual general summary Of thu entire
amount that went to pay the freight in that war.
Of course, this will never be accurately known;
then. too outside OF PENSIONS bills are still COM
ing in and payments being made. Nor would the
estimate include the losses of the South"
The total cost Of the war. including what was
paid by municipalities, counties and States for
bounties, the sums expended for aid to soldiers
family, and for other purposes growing directly
out of the war, will never be accurately known.
What the Government expended is more easily
estimated although very much that has been
paid out for the war is hidden away in appropria-
ton bills, so that the gross sum will be largely
a matter of estimate and speculation.
In report made by John Sherman, while Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, he said that up to June
TO- $780, the Government had paid out on account
of the war Sc $50 920, 90S.5S. Since that date
there has been paid for pensions 267 74S, 800 40
I'D to June 80 1897. In addition to this there
has been paid as interest the public debt
$3.50 GOO 600 while the debt itself had been re-
duced by 1920, 900. 600 up to 1884, when new bonds
were issued. not chargeable to the war This
would make total OF s9.027, 673, COO. 1t is true
that in the amount paid for pensions are in
cluded sums paid to veterans of the Mexican and
some other wars, but the aggregate of such ex-
penditure is insignificant compared with the large
disbursements for southern claims for proper ty

Spies and Rules of War.


From time immemorial among all nations it
has been prescribed that the punishment of a spy
shall be death. A Spanish spy caught by either
civil or military authorities would be court
martiaed and put to death by hanging, as that
method of killing is considered the NEST igno-
minious. According to military ethics, Shooting
is too good for spy"
The laws of war make no discrimination on ac-
count Of the sex of a spy or traitor, woman
being just as liable to hanging as a man.
An interesting provision OF the law governing
warfare is that successful spy is not subject to
punishment if captured after having safely return
ed TO his own forces and given his information
He may, however, be held as dangerous prisoner
OF war; but, technically speaking, he ceases to be
spy as soon he has dispatched his Informal
tion and nations have agreed not to punish spies
unless they be caught in the very act of spying
or carrying fresh news. The laws of this country
provide that il a citizen obtains information
even in a legitimate manner and betrays it to the
enemy he shall be hanged, whether he be mill
tary civil officer or a private citizen.
soldier in his prescribed uniform reconnoiter-
ing scouting in enemy's territory cannot be
treated as spy. for the latter is essentially
one who is seeking information while in disguise
or under false pretenses. Some European officers
have endeavored to include military balloonists
in the category of spies, but it is now agreed
among nations that they be exempt from such a
class since they perform legitimate duties. While
guerrillas are not looked upon as spies they suf-
fer the fate OF a spy when caught, as do all un.
uniformed persons caught obstructing transport
tation or committing depredations within the
enemy's country.
All spies are volunteers, for the law forbids
that an officer should ever command anyone to
do this work against his will or punish him for
refusing.

CHILDREN'S HEALTH.
1t Is hennccd by the Early Begin
ming Of school.

(Dr. Calvin, in the Boston Giobe)
1t has become my province for a mum.
Der of years past TO advise and provide
for a greater number of the school chill
! dren of Boston than any of our pracsic-
ing surgeons 1t has been a duty Which
has given me much pleasure, and NO
one in our city has the welfare of our
children more dearly at heart And so
as an incident of such duty, 1 desire "a
protest against the present system OF
opening our public schools upon the
Tuesday following the first Monday OF
September.
In my judgment there is no season of
the year when there is more danger OF
contracting acute infectious diseases in
the crowded school room than during
the warm days of the first fortnight of
September The breaking in upon the
vacations term in the latter part OF
August to hasten back to the city 10
prepare children for school in the on.
pressive early days of September. when.
OF ali times in the year, children should
be out of doors. INDUCING in healthful
recreation, is menace to the children
and source of much Inconvenience Ia
many families
Our public schools should open upon
the last Monday Of September. Then
come the days best suited for taking
up the courses of study. In September
every child should be allowed the pleas
ures of the shore and mountain, and the
annual influx of summer visitors on the
very days best suited for vacation pur-
poses, in order that suitable provision
may be made for the approaching school
year. works great hardship upon many
families.
Every fan my professional labors in
crease by reason of 50 many children be-
in ~, rl.-
pressive school rooms.
The teachers, as wei as the children
suffer. for congenial terms of summer
study are fnterfered with in the middle
Of August that preparations may be
made for the opening Of school. The
teacher, in many cases. has essayed a
special branch Of study to increase the
value of her services. but the time re-
quired to complete the duties incident
TO the opening of school, sacrifices the
term of study and embarrasses the teach
er in the chosen effort
Summer visitors familiar with many of
the choicest mountain spots as well as
those of the shore. have often told me
that the best vacation days of the year
are lost by the a2nual custom Of opening
our schools.
To provide for the good health of the
| school children of Boston should be the
first duty of our school committee. and
the opening Of school during the last
week In September would be of great
material advantage to both teacher and
pupil.
While It may be true that many chill
dren in humble circumstances do not
receive the allowance of summer pleas
ure which is surely Their due. and that
pri1per restriction of their movements
| is not always exercised. and that parents
often complain of the irritation and anx-
iety of the summer vacation. 1t is never
theless true that all such discomfort is
in no way commensurate with the dis
tress to both parent ard child coming
from sickness the result of neglect.

captured a little tigress during the eX-
pedition to Shikar. During the first
month of her life in the barracks Kitty, as
she was called, was as playful and gentle
as a kitten. She played with the soldiers
and lived on good terms with the dogs of

with her appreciation of her own strength.
When Kitty was full grown she used to
wander about growing through the bar

reach. One day she managed to get into
the provision store and seize a quantity

France md Snnin.

(From the London Spect8tor.)
Ever since, and before, the days when the
kings of France and Spain met on the Isle Of
Pheasants and made the treaty Of the Pyrenees,
one Of the chief aims Of French policy has been
to obtain influence and control in Spain 1t was
for this that France fought her two most bloody
and also most unsuccessful wars. The war Of
the Spanish succession was chiefly fought out in
Bavaria and the Low Countries. but the object Of
France was control in Spain Louis XIV in fact,
defed the world and very nearly ruined his coun-
try by insisting on his policy of controlling
Spanish affairs.
It was the same with Napoleon Though, like
Louis XIV, he did not try to annex any part OF
Spain after the manner OF his anneXations in
Italy and Germany-he knew how dangerous it
is to spoil the face of a Spaniard-yet he
strained every nerve to obtain the control of
the Iberian Peninsula, and may indeed be said
tn have manned the empire by his determina-
ton to make Spain political satellite OF France
But for the pennSular war Napoleon might have
Napoleon finally overthrown and the Bourbons
re-established than the secular desire to control
Spain reasserted itself In 1923 French army
crossed the Pyrenees and occupied Madrid, and
for the time France obtained complete ascend
ancy in Spain. The influence thus obtained had
no doubt TO give way to English pressure; but it
reappeared again with Louis Philippe's scheme
for the Spanish marriages. the scheme which so
nearly produced a war with England and seemed
to promise so much for French influence in the
Peninsula
Napoleon III always exercised great deal Of
indirect influence in Spain, and was careful to
maintain the old polcy-that of possessing what
Americans call ''pull'' on the govrnment at
Madrid II was indeed the fear of losing French
influence in Spain that nominally produced the
Franco Prussian war. CThe immediate cause of
the war was dispute as to the filling of the
Spanish throne) After the France was for
a time too busy at home to pay much attention
to Spanish affairs, but it with sense of deep
indignation and disgust that she learned that
Aphonso MI had visited Berlin. had accepted

Spain apparently slipping under tbs infu-
ence of the Triple Alliance Immediately the
French statesmen saw the errcr that had been
made, and it became at once the avowed object
of the French foreign Office to do everything that
was possible to concilate Spain and re-establish
French influence at Madrid Chance helped the
French by the death of the king, and since then

and zealously built up by every possible means.
