PktSENI-DAN IHOUGHES.
BY q. oRosvENoR DAVE.

A glance over Europe to
St. Paul, who evidently spoke from
knowledge, there is in everyone OF US a
warfare between tie good and the bad.
To have these two conditions existent
within ourselves is to be normal, but
when in the struggle the evil gets the
upper hand then there is cause for alarm
indeed.
Now it is interesting TO believe, and
very interesting TO try to prove, that
nations are just ike individuals. II the
ideas and the Ideals OF the majority Of a
nation are sound and practical and some
what similar. hen it is safe to fotetell FOR
such nation just as one would for
an individual progress, power, repute.
Viewed in this way the healthy and
rather unpampered character of the Rus
sian, the Scandinavian, the German, and
the Briton promises strength and contIn-
uance to their respective lands. Yet one
knows that there are very bad elements in
the extremes OF society in the first, third
and fourth OF these, bat not sufficiently
bad to color national life.
Scandinavia will have governmental
troubles within the next quarter of tt CEN
fury, but the sound sense OF the people
OF Norway and Sweden will probably
lead to the avoidance OF warfare and con-
tent itself with political change. The
trouble is chiefly that they ara under the
rule OF an imported monarch, Berna-
dotte, and second, that there is jealous
rivalry between the two halves of the
kingdom. notwithstanding this last
feeling, however, il is quite within the
range OF possibility that Norway and
sweden VIII develop republican form
Of government, whose integrity, like that
OF Switzerland, will be guaranteed by the
great powers around.
Division of purpose, though her peoples
are morally sound as a whole, will prob
ally be the undoing OF Austria hungary,
after the death OF Emperor Francis
Joseph; for eighteen different languages
and almost as many d fferent sets of ideals
mold sway within the bounds Of the EN-
pire. The northern part OF the eastern
portion may possibly share the fate OF
Poland and be absorbed by Russia. In
the southern part of the eastern end we
may expect to see more prlnclpalltles
created, like those at present existing
under Russian domination in the Balkan
peninsula. The western portion will prob
ably retain its identity as Austria, but
the general tendency will be for it to be-
come Germanized.
Belgium will have before long some
very unhappy experiences. The people
Will grow tired OF puppet royalty as at
present played by the king OF Belgium,
but instead OF there being for us any feel
Ing of pleasure in looking forward to the
formation OF republic upon the ruins OF
this royalty, there is cause for dread.
belgium is too French in its character to
effect such change decently and in order.
Its city jewellers are wretched, crowded,
immoral, and form precisely the right soil
Tor growing another crop OF horrors like
That Of the commune. When the political
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1899-09-20

change comes, there will be French inter
ference and such strong German oppo-
sition TO any appearance OF French
increase of territory, that these two
nations will set themselves for final
struggle. The inevitable result will be
the defeat Of France.
France is tottering to q national decay
because there are more individuals in it
OF low personal ideals han there are of
high. No nation of Europe more thor
ouEhly shows likeness to an individual
in W HON evil has triumphed over the good
Because there is constant distrIst within
il, there is to he distrust of it. Because
there Is such constant pursuit OF the pres
ent, there is positive doubt OF the future.
Because it suspects the nations around it
of stealing, there is within it the spirit OF
thievery. Because the might of its army
has been directed to he crushing OF one
man, there is room to suspect that the
leaders Of the army have No real care for
the nat ion, cit her as to he moral health
within it or as to its reputation among
the sisterhood Of nations. Religious only
in formal way, and content to substi-
tute the bOWings and scrapings OF polite
ness for he real gold OF character, it shall
become poor though ii is now rich, and it
shall become weak though its theatric
,aders dream OF its strength. The eX-
istence OF Turkey in Europe is dependent
upon good behavior. Like a skillful
time-server, the Sultan has played on the
jealousies of European powers against
each other, and very successfully up to
the present. Russia would have removed
it from he face OF the earth in 1s11-1s
had it not been for England's jealousy;
and the scImltar of its own barbarlty
would have been laid on its neck two
years ago had not similar reasons prevail
ed. A threatened life lasts long, but at
the time of its next relapse into cruelty
England and Russia, because Of the comfy
created by their Asiatic interests, will act
toget her in European affairs.
The future of Italy is problematical.
The poverty and Ignorance OF large pro-
portion of its inhabitants foretell dis
quiet, certain not to be allayed by the at
ttude OF arstocratic superiority assumed
by the upper classes toward the lower.
Given an ambitious man whose thoughts
are less ideal than those of Pope Leo
XIII, and Italy may yet see restoration
OF the temporal power of the pope. An
aid to such change will be found among
the poor who are religious to the verge of
superstition.
Spain Will give much attention to in
ternal improvement during the next half
century; for it has now not much else to
worry about, and the ignorance of its
masses, together with the undeveloped
state OF its own natural resources, are
fruitful fields for the employment OF wise
craftsmanship. But at the outset there
must be a turning OF the back upon the
grandee spirit which has hitherto pre-
vailed and which in its effect has brought
Spain to its present state of shorn glory.

Without question, the grain most

formingthe chief food of the native popu.

gascar; many parts of Africa, and in
fact OF almost all eastern nations. The
Burmese and Siamese are the greatest
consumers OF it. A Malay laborer gets
through Sc pounds monthly; a Bumese
or Siamese 48 pounds in the same
period. The eastern nations also chiefly
obtain their beverages from rice, which
is the principal grain distilled in Siam,
Japan. and China. Saki, or rice beer,
is produced in Japan to the extent OF
$50, 900, 900 gallons annually. Although
rice is such universal article OF food,
it is not SO nourishing as wheat or some
other grains. More than nine.tenths of
its substance consists of starch or
water; consequently it forms more fat
than muscle. The yield of rice is five
times as heavy as that of wheat, the
two crops yearly giving from eighty to
q hundred bushels per acre.
