MILITARY.

The dispropOrtion between the mill
tary forces of Great Britain and her
two possible antagonists is due to the
system of military liability in the con-
tinental countries. In Russia and
France every able-bodied citizen is a
soldier. The figures seem overwhelm-
ingly adverse to England
France is a close second to Great
Britain in the naval world,
but she is by no means a
match for Great Britain, whose
ships girdle the earth. If war should
come it is hard to say how and where
the first naval engagements would be
fought but no doubt Egypt, the Sudan
and India would be the earliest battle
scenes on the land. Russia can quick
ly place her big foot in the Khyber
Pass, the gateway to India.

QUEER COINCIDENCE HAPPENS.
Woman Visitor From Berlin Has an Odd
Experience at Varsity.

Yesterday a party of women were
being shown about various buildings of
the University of Chicago. The prin-
cipal parsonage in the party was an
American woman who lives in Berlin.
Germany. She had been visiting
friends in Chicago for a week and ever
since her arrival she had been
trying to remember the name
of a Chicago woman whom she
had met in Berlin. She was
anxious to see this woman, but her
name and address had totally escaped
her memory
AS the party entered Cobb hall some
thing stirred the right chord and she
came to a full stop in the doorway,
saying There! That name has come
to me. It's Mrs. -"
Scarcely had she said the words when
the door of one of the offices opened
and the woman in question walked into
the hallway, not ten feet from the Wis
itor from Berlin. The party marveled
much over the coincidence. The gen.
eral opinion was that the presence of
the woman in the building made itself
known in some mysterious way to the
visitors subjective mind. But no one
attempted to explain it.

4 Nan of Rcsnnrcc.

A big, uncouth looking stranger, with
shoulders like a Hercules walked into a
department. store late one afternoon,
and, after gazing about a minute. step
ped up to 4 salesman and made known
his wish TO buy shirt. A couple Of
samples were shown him. ana he in
formed the salesman that either one
would do.
1t was an article that sold for 81 80,
and in making payment the stranger
pulled from his hip pocket huge roll
of bills. He apparently skinned them
over in search of small bill, but he
could not find one of less denomination
than $500. One of these was handed
the surprised salesman, but he arose to
the occasion and sent it away with the
cashboy. When the change came, it
was nearly all in small bills. The stran-
ger interrupted the salesman in his
work of counting the bills by reaching
for the pile and wadding it into his hip
pocket.
"Oh, guess it, all right, and you
give that shirt to porter if yOu can
find one big enough to wear it. All /
wanted was the change You see, it
was after banking hours, and am a
man of resources. Good day. ''-Phila-

Among the many curious things
noted by the actuaries the following
are few of the most interesting. Wo-
men have a much better prospect Of
long life than men, and the chances of
married people are distinctly higher
than those of bachelors and old maids
From the data provided by the rec
ords of various churches it has been de-
duced that the peaceful Quakers have
most frequently received the blessings
of long life promised in the fifth COM
mandment, while the death rate is re-
markably high among Methodist clergy
men. Annuitants as a class live from
three to five years longer than other
people, and this is not due to human
perversity, as some humorists have sug-
gested. 1t is undoubtedly due to the
lack of worry regarding the changes of
fortune when a regular income is a GER
tainty.
Although no statistics have been col
leCted on the death rate in the civil
service, where the yearly income almost
partakes OF the character Of an annuity,
it would perhaps be found that there is
some scientific basis for President

''It had curious interest for me

but with hair pretty gray and with
marks at the outer corners of his eyes
showing where the crow had stepped
on him-hghtly, to be sure, but the
marks of crows feet nevertheless, the
face of man of years. But, old and
gray, the most curious and fascinating
thing about it was its striking resem-
