ing them out of service. The force now in the field or available for service is about a quarter of a million men. This is not so large force that nearly all of 1t may not be required for some time to come in carrying out the purposes for which the United States entered upon the war and the incidental objects which have grown out of the conquest of Porto Rico and Manila.
 The estimate of the effect of the Ding ley law recently made public by Assist ant Secretary Howell, of the treasury de- partment, put the war expenditures during March, April, May and June at about $56, 900, 000 This amount was reached by com putting the expenses of the war and navy departments upon the basis of previous years in order to reach the cost of the peace establishment. and deducting this amount from the actual expenditures for these departments. The month of July showed expenditures for the war depart ment of S34,774,1 ,153 and for the navy of sS,- 514,279 These amounts ,aggregating about $4S, 300, 900, are about 35,OOO 900 in excess of the cost of the peace establishment year ago. This amount, added to the estimate of $56 900, GOO for the earlier months, would carry the war expenditures to the close of July to $91, 900 900. The drafts of the war and navy departments upon the treasury during August have not yet been heavy, but they will be so during the. remainder of the month. If the August expenditures should equal those of July, the total cost of the war at the end of the month would be $126 900 GOO. This it should be noted, does not include the many contracts for which the United States have received value, but where payment has not yet been made. If these were included, the total cost would run up to about S75, 900 900, and there would remain $125 900, 900 to be spent during the specialization of the results of the war. if the total expenditures is limited to $500 900 900. The four remaining months of the present calendar year would prac- tically eat up this margin, even if expenses were reduced to an average of $30, 900, GOO per month 1t is possible that the balance will be sufficient to maintain the army for a month or two into next year. but proba- ply not much longer than that time.

As matters now stand the government is likely to have collected at the close of the present fiscal year, on July 1, 1S99 a sum of about $340, 900 for the extraor- dinary expenses of the war. The sum of $200 900 will be realized from the bond issue and an average of nearly $12,0OO0o0 per month fro mthe new revenue law. It appears probable that the provisions of the Dingley law, with the old revenue laws, will just about meet the expenses of the government upon peace basis. If all expenditures on account of the war and its consequences should terminate next July, the revenue law could be repeale4

They will not be eaten up quite so rapidly as if the war had con- tinued, but they will be required from time to time for securing its results and snff porting the interests of the United Statss in the east. If the Philippines are sSaken under American control-as may be neces- sary, if they are not to relapse into bar barism-it may require an even larger force than General Merritt now has under his command to put down the instruction and maintain the guarantee of order through out the extent of the islands. The enlarg- ed expenses for the navy and for coast de- fence (the necessity for which is beginning to be appreciated in congress), will also absorb several millions, although not in themselves of character to materially modify the estimates of the cost of the peace establishment of the government.

DO VETERANS SCARE?
A Wounded Man Thinks They Do Every
 Time.

Among the wounded soldiers in the hospi- tai at Governors Island is veteran regu- lar, no talked freely with a reporter for the Commercial Advertiser. How do I feel under fre?' he repeated. You take my word for it-and I know what I am saying-any man who tells you he doesn,f reel scared when is under fire is a liar. I've seen some of these fellows You've loads or time to notice things between shots in the trenches and on the march, and if they wasn't scared, they gave a blamed good imitation of it. Say, now, is it natural not TO feel scared with death and damnatfon hoatin through the air and your mates dropping dead all around you? Would you blame any one for feeling scared if he saw his chum or his officer wrigglin' and twist in on the ground beside him with his eyes open and seein' nothin', an a clutchin' at the air an a grabbin' his fingers in the grass an all the time gaspin' for breath with bullet through his lungs? That's hghtin', and when men see things like that an know that they may be fopI5in' round like a hen with its head off the next min- ute, they feel scared, tell you-scared as hell.
 ''There was only was one fellow I ever knew wasn't scared, and he came from this town It was down in Arizona and a dozen of us was up against about hundred In- dians. This was kneelin' behind a big stone just pumpin' lead at the copperheads as fast as he could load. The rest of us was lyin' fiat and frin' now and then, when we got chance. We told the New York fellow that he was fool and that the In- juns would pot him sure, but he only laughed at us. We knew that we were in a nasty hole, and so did he, for all he was a tenderfoot. He'd only been enlisted a month or two. When he couldn't see the Injuns kneeln' he'd stand up to look for

COST OF THE WAR.
Probable It Will Absorb Proceeds of the Loan-May Reach $3OO,OOO,OOO.

It is not yet possible to calculate with precision the cost of the war for the lib- eration of Cuba, but some interesting fig ures are being made at the treasury, based upon the data which Is accessible. Good judges believe that nearly $500 900 will be absorbed in extraordinary expenditures before matters growing out of the war are settled, even if the pending negotiations with the Spanish government result in prompt cessation of hostilities, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce. The visible expense up to the present time have hardly reached $100, 900 900, but there are several reasons for believing that this is only fraction of the expenditure which will be required before the volunteer army is dis banded and army and navy are restored to a peace footing. In the first place, many
 contracts which have been partially or fully executed b ythe contractors have not
 yet ben settled by the treasury. Large
 disbursements would be required in pay
 ment for these contracts, if all expenses
 on account of the war would cease tomor- row. Without any exact data on the sub feet, the guess might be hazarded that $50,- 900. QUO would be required fo rthe settlement of these contracts The more important item of continued expenses, however, will be the maintenance of the army until peace and order can be restored in Cuba and the Philippines. This item will be larger during the next month or two than was the case up to the latter of June, because a large force has now been mobilized. It would require time, even if the United States undertook to withdraw at once from the former Spanish dependencies, to re- turn the armies from the West Indies and the Philippines to the United States and go through the usual routine of muster-

 The mouse-seeking qualities of a cat are told by her eyes. Full expressive eyes that see all that is going on proclaim the nous CT. A cat is naturally quick and her car nivorous taste makes her partial to mouse meat, but unless she has the sight and the quickness of eye she will not distinguish herself as a mouser. A quick movement of the eyes, general comprehensiveness of expression, a smiling earnest glance is the one that bodes i'll for mice. The best mouser I ever knew was a big fat cat with long expressive eyes that seemed quite hu- man. She would lie motionless for hours watching a mousehole. Then, of a sud

 A pugy upper lip denotes contentment with food and personal taste. A cat with a full upper lip will not eat offal. She will prefer clean food on a clean plate and if you humor her, she will soon become an epicure. She will lick her chops great deal and rub them many times day with her paw.
