Europe.s Standing Armies.

Russia, of all countries on the face
of the earth, possesses the largest
standing army, and each year it is
growing larger and larger. Every
year some $780, conscripts join the
army, which in time of peace numbers
1,000,0 900 men. On war footing this
rises to $500, 900 men, and the calling
out of the reserve would increase it to
6,947, 900 trained soldiers. Should
necessity arise, the second and third
bands of the Opoltschenie Tor militia,
consisting of unframed men, could be
called out by Imperial Ukase, thus
swelling the Russian Army to the enor-
nous total of 5000, 900 men. France
comes next, with q standing army of
5S9, 900 men, rising to $500, 900 in
time of war. which the calling out OF
the reserves would increase to &c.,
000 Despite this tremendous force,
the French army is increasing year by
year, and 1898 will see an addition OF
some 10000 men. The German army,
which is rightly considered a model OF
military perfection, numbers 585, 600
men in peace. Within ten days of the
declaration of war Germany could put
1890, 900 trained men into the field,
and the calling out of the reserves
would increase this number to 4, 800.

Electric Dredging in Now Zealand.

In the Otago district of New Zea-
land there are a number of electric
power installations in connection with
reefing work, and there has also been
installed q large dredger worked by
electricity. Most of the steam
dredgers used in this extensive dis
trict carry an electric lighting plant.
At the present time more than q hun
dred dredgers are at work in Otago
Province alone, and nearly all are con-
veniently situated for coal supply. In
some parts of the province coal is
very cheap at the pits mouth, but
outside of the neighborhood Of the
coal pits coal is extremely dear. At
Queenstown $35 per ton is paid for
household coal, $50 of which is paid
for freight for the last thirty miles of
the distance covered; $4.3S per 200
pounds is paid for smithy coal.
Freight rates are excessive. During
the last twelve months there has been
large increase in the number of
dredgers at work, and in most in
stances the results have proved very
satisfactory, the dredger known as
Electric No. l, on the Molyneaux,
having obtained as much as 658
ounces Of gold in five days, and, &C.
cording to later reports, the average
return of the dredgers per week has
been little short of 100 ounces. -

Steps Toward b etter Methods.

Road building is science that de-
mands special training and expert
ence, if it is to be placed on level
with other engineering pursuits. We
are only just beginning to realize
this, and are taking for our models
the constructions of the past and fol-
lowing the teachings of earlier gener-
ations, because the necessity and i'm
portance of having good highways has
come upon us so suddenly that we
have, as yet, had no opportunity to do
otherwise.
Good as are the roads that earlier
generations have constructed, and
fine as are the roads that are now
built on similar lines in some coun-
tries, it is not likely that, with mod
ern resources and ingenuity, we
shall rest permanently on present
methods.
Up to the present, attention has
been directed chiefly to studying the
established European system and
adapting It to our needs. The high
way improvement movement, how
ever, is becoming SO general, and
such diversity of interests exists in
the widely-separated communities
that need better street pavements and
suburban highways, that experiments
must inevitably be tried with various
sorts of material
1t is not unreasonable to suppose
| That new. better and cheaper methods
may be discovered, and the whole
subject SO completely mastered aud
systematized that when the condi-
tons which obtain in any given local
ity are known, it will be easy to pre-
scribe the best possible road for it in
view of It's abilities, resources and
needs. Everything looking toward
this end is helpful, and reasonable
and careful experiments are to be
welcomed as means toward desir-
fble end

vienna's Strange Wedding.

Some days ago, says London paper.
a mysterious wedding took place in
one of the Roman Catholic churches
in Vienna. The bride, STAT. fair and
forty" drove up alone in hired car
riage to the church door. There the
lady was received by the bridegroom
"a man on the shady side Of sixty.
and wearing shabby genteel and thread.
hare clothes. Saying the words, 81
am the bridegroom" he introduced
himself to the lady, and without q
word more the two went to the altar
and were married.
The lady, with the faintest bow pos.
sible, then left him and returned to
her hotel. Within half an hour the
bride was on her way to her home in
the Caucasus, while the old bride.
groom found his way back to his home,
the Vienna workhouse.
Soon itwa rumored that this strange
lady was the owner of large estates in
the Caucasus, and had taken this step
in order to give her son an honorable
and illustrious name. This was done
by her marriage with the shabby gen.
teel man out of the Vienna poorhouse;
the latter is the last scion of noble
family of long lineage in the Transyl-
vania district of Hungary, but he has
fallen upon evil times, and, having
lost all of his property, is glad to end
his days in the workhouse in the Aus.
trian capital.
It was matter of indifference to
this practical mother as to what man.
ner of man gave the protection OF his
name to herself and son, and, it is
highly probable that husband and wife
will never again meet; but she made
arrangements for his future by assign,
ing him yearly income to be paid by
Vienna banker.

A Patriotic Booster.

The marines at League Island take
great pride IN two bantam chickens, .
hen and rooster, owned by man
who runs a refreshments stand near
the entrance to the Navy Yard. The
chickens are snow-white, with bright
red combs, and, taking his cue from
disadvantages, the owner decided
to MAKE them the most patriotic birds
at the Navy Yard. In q bucket Of
blue dye he dipped their white tails,
and after letting them dry he turned
them loose as red, white and blue a.
nature and q bucket Of dye could
make them. The rooster has since
fought and vanquished every cock in
the neighborhood, and the marines
declare that he is the least chicken.

School Children as Road M akers.

School Children as Road M akers.
The children attending the public
scho OILS in the country should receive
instructions, while they are still chill
dren, in the art of road maintenance.
30 that this may be done with any
benefit to the children and resulting
benefit to the roads, the teachers
themselves, quite as much as the
present custodians of the roads, are
in need Of instruction. This the
teachers could easily get at the county
meetings. Then each school district
should be supplied with few simple
tools-hoes, rakes and shovels-and
the boys be given an opportunity to
make simple repairs when they are
needed. To keep loose stones from
the roadway is easy and simple; filling
up wagon tracks and opening closed
bitches are both most important. All
of these things are within the strength
of the boys, and in some measure
could be attended to by them under
the instruction of the teacher. Coun-
try school children usually walk to
school; in one way or another all of
them pass over some section of road
way. They should be instructed to
inspect and report on the condition of
the roads which they pass over. This
would be good practice in observation,
and would be an influence toward the
making of good aud useful citizens.
Reading, writing and arithmetic are
all admirable in their way, but the in
struction I have suggested would vary
the monotony of ordinary study
without taking enough time from 1t to
hurt.
The great problem of the country
side to-day is to keep the best of the
youth of the country at home, and it
seems to me the surest way to do this
is to broaden their interest in country
life, and to make the country itself at
tractive while giving opportunities for
energies which prompt young men to
abandon the country as soon as pos
sible and seek in more crowded com-
munities congenial work now not to
be found on the farms, in the villages
and the small towns of the country.
Let us all help to put the roads in
order, and to keep them in order

France in the Lead.

There are, it is estimated, 800, 900
miles of highway roads in the United
States, about twenty per cent. of the
roads of all the world. Great Britain
has 100000 miles of highways and
these are some of the best in the
world. Germany has 275, 900 miles of
roads, and some of them are as poor
as the roadways of great country can
be. France, which has taken an en-
lightened view of the good roads ques-
ton for many years, and has spent by
government or local authority over
81, 900, 000,0 on highways, has a
road mileage of 100000, more than
any other country Russia, with an
enormous area, has only 10000 miles
of roadways, while Italy, a smaller
country, has $4,000.
There are approximately, though
the number is steadily on the decline,
IA, 900, 900 horses in the United Stales
there were 100000 by the census
of 1890), and there are about 2,O00,-
900 mules, principally in the South,
the annual cost of fodder for these an
imals being $1,000, 100000. On fine
stone road one horse can haul as much
as three horses can haul over the aver
age dirt road of the country. It Is es-
timated that it would be necessary to
build about 1000, 900 miles of macada-
mized roads in the United States Fin
order to have as good system ofpub-
lie HIGHWAYS az is found in several En-
ropean States. At $4,000 mile this
would involve an outlay of 81, 900, 000,-
000-a pretty large sum. But if one
half of the draft animals could be dis
pensed with by the building of such
roads there would be an annual saving
of 500, 600, 900 in the food bill. Con-
sequently, if road bonds were issued
bearing three per cent interest 6,000,-
0G0 miles of macadamized roads could
be built without increasing the annual
expenses one dollar.

CREMATION IN WAR.
Extent to Which This Method OF Dis.
posing of the Dead II Used.

posing OF the Dead - used.
Mr.. Louis Windmuller, who pre-
sents in the North American Review
an array of arguments in favor of ore
nation, sends the following details Of
examples. showing the extent to
which this method Of disposing of the
dead in times of war has been
adopted, to the Surgeon General:
''In 1912 the Russians burned 252,-
900 bodies of French and German
soldiers; nearly one-half Of Nspoieon's
army of invasion, besides $4,000
horses. Soldiers so disposed Of num-
bered: At Moscow, 30, 900; at Minsk,
$1,000; at Smolensk, II, 900; at wilma,
$4,000. In 1914 the allies burned
before Paris some 1000 bodies. In
1915, after the battle of Waterloo,
1000 bodies were cremated on piles of
resinous wood.
'tMy article refers to the conse-
quences of the burial of bodies during
the Crimean war, 1854-1855. Trusen
writes from the trenches of Sebasta-
pol: 'Corpses of our friends have be.
come greater enemies than the Rus
Slams; barely covered by earth they
emit pestilential miasma which
kills better than power and shot.
"In 1866, during the war between
Prussia and Austria, more soldiers
were killed by disease than by bullet.
l.. Creteur says about his cremation
of some 40, 900 bodies in 1871 on the
battlefield of Sedan: Bodies were
covered only by thin layer Of earth;
wild animals had scratched away some
of the SOIL Creteur found great diff
ffculty in procuring help to assist him
in his mission of humanity. Large
numbers of fallen officers, as we'll as
common soldiers of the Japanese
army, were burned with military hon
ors, in 1894, during the Chinese jap
anese war. A thorough investigation
into the causes Of disease among our
soldiers would doubtless reveal that
insufficient burial of decomposing
corpses has largely contributed to if
it has not caused the outbreak Of
fever altogether.

Poet Carpet-Cleaner.

The poet Tennyson had his little
mishaps, just as less gifted mortals
do. One afternoon he called on some
friends, learned that they were not
at home, and decided to leave note.
The housemaid took him to the
drawing-room, and gave him pen,
ink and paper.
When signing his name to his po-
lite little missive, Tennyson, by a
jerk of the elbow, overturned the
ink-bottle; and great was his dismay
at seeing large pool of ink spread.

Just left can of frothing milk at
the door, and the intelligent house
maid remembered in the nick of time
that new milk, if thrown over wet
ink, would remove all traces of the
despoiling fluid. Accordingly she
overturned the jug upon the large
black pool, and with house flannel
and cloths set about rubbing and
scrubbing at the stain.
Down went TcnnysOn on his hands
and knees, rubbing and scrubbing
with his little helpmeet. His agony

With that he seized his hat and
made for the door. Some weeks
later an invitation to dine with his
friends reached Tennyson. He went;
and the carpet was 10 no way alluded
