History.

History.
A great many people do not know
why army surgeons wear green sashes.
1t is not so much an insignia of rank as
1t is protection to the wearer. Accord
ing to the code Of war, surgeons are
never shot or taken prisoners. To DELHI
erately shoot surgeon while be is
wearing his sash is considered a viola.
ton of the code, punishable by death.
Because of this provision surgeons OF
one army never refuse to look after the
wounded OF the other army if it is posi-
bic for them to do so During the civil
war it was often the case that after q
battle the field hospitals would contain

TOURISTS ABROAD.
rAs Money They Spend Amounts 60
$4,000 900 Year.

The amount Of money expended by
tourists in Europe has, if official record.
abroad are to be accepted as authentic,
increased enormously Of late years.
There has been recently filed with the
Swiss minister Of finance and customs
at Bern detailed statement of hotel
receipts in that country, from which il
| appears that the gross receipts of Swiss
hotels rose from 90, 500, 900 francs in
1880 to ia, 1873, 900 in 1894. The entire
annual expenses Of the Swiss republic
amount in year to between 80, 900, 900
and 10000, 900 francs (the budget for
this year is given at the latter figure),
and 1T would seem, therefore, very much
as if the hotels of Switzerland take in
In year more than the government it.
self does.
The Swiss figures are not the only
ones furnished in Europe recently on
this point. A French record shows that
every year there are 27O, 900 foreigners
who pass from fortnight to whole
winter on the Riviera. Every person is
supposed to expend ON an average /, 900
francs, or $500, in the country. In 9TH
er words, the foreign visitors spend in
the country every winter the sum of
$54, 600, 000 The English are put down
as contributing one-third of this amount;
the French themselves contribute anoth-
er third; Germans, Belgians, Dutch,
Russians and Americans contribute the
remainder. From being poor country
when it was annexed to France in 1860
Nice has become one of the richest de.
partments of the republic.
Some figures recently compiled of the
revenues to hotels from tourists in Paris
show the average number of foreign
visitors to be go, 900. 1t is customary
to estimate at 10 francs, OF SO, a day
the hotel bills Of strangers in Paris.
at SO day each the hotel
bills OF 90, 000 tourists and at about as
much more their other OUTLAWS it is to
be seen that tourists in Paris can be put
down for an expenditure of nearly $780,
900 day.
The total sum expended by tourists
in Europe in a year is probably not very
far from S700, 900, 900, and very con-
portion of this comes from the
pockets, the purses and the bankers
balances Of Americans who are pro-
the most liberal among travel
ers. Russians come second, Brazilians
