Armies of Europe.

Russia possesses the largest standing
lrmy on earth and each year it grows IL
,ize. Every year some 100000 conscripts
,in the Russian forces, which in time OF
peace number 100000 men. On waI
ooting this rises to 2,5O0,0O0, and calling
,ut the reserve would increase it to 6, ,947, ),
100 well-trained soldiers. Should the
necessity arise, the militia would be call
ed out, bringing the Cars forces up to
100000 men.
France comes next with a standing ar
ny of $4,000 men, rising to 2,5OO,OO0 in
ime OF war, while the calling out Of the
reserves would bring 1t to 100000. De-
spite this the regular army is increasing
yearly.
The German army numbers 585,000 In
times of peace. War would bring it to
100000, and the reserves added make
he number of men 100000.
The Peace army of Austria-H Hungary
numbers 365,000; in war it would be $780,
100, and with the seserves 100000.
Forces are being reduced IN Italy be
cause the people are too poor to pay the
necessary taxes. The standing army,
therefore,, is but 174,00O, war bringing it
up to 1,473,00O, the reserves making the
sorce 100000.
Great Britain has standing army oi
10000, but calling out the reserve forces
puts 100000 men under command.
Every ninth person in France is a train
ed soldier; in Germany there is soldier TO
every twelve persons and every six malee
Russia has such a porulation that in
spite of her big army, only one man out
of fourteen is fighter. Every five fam

Every other Austrian household has one

A Misunderstood jest,

Lord Lytton when viceroy of India
was seated one day at dinner next to a
lady whose name was Birch, and who,
though very good looking, was not over
intelligent Said she to his excellency
Are You acquainted with any of the
Birches?'
"Oh, yes" replied Lord Lytton. II
knew several Of them most intimately
while at Eton-indeed more intimately
than l cared to.
my lord" replied the lady, "you
forget the Birches are relatives Of
mine.
"And they cut me" said the vicercy,
"but, and he Smiled his wonted smile.
II have never felt more inclined to kiss
the rod than do now"
Sad to say, Mrs Birch did not see
the point and told her husband his ex
cellency had insulted her. Exchange.

Answer to Poetic Bills Lament.

Bill, I'm sorry for you, honest,
As across the plains you ride.
But do not be downhearted,
Just because one girl has lied.
Courage then, Poetic William,
Though your heart be rent in twain.
II you'd find girl that's faithful
HE you to the State Of Maine.
Stay no longer in Wyoming:
Come away and you'll forget
Do not think your life is ruined,
William, you'll be happy yet.
Leave them all, poor, misused cowbow.
Stay not there and love in vain.
Leave the cattle, girls and broncho,.
Pack your traps and come to Maine.
Leave behind the Big Horn basin
And familiar Yellowstone,
In the State that leads fhe Union,
You'll soon cease to feel alone.
You'll not find one fickle-minded
Damsel in the State OF Maine.
Any fellow here will say 80.
Yours sincerely, POLLY JANE.
