WAR WAR WAP 1888

terrible record is that of the Crimean
war, in which 10000 men lost their
lives, while in the Franco-Prussian
conflict the losses were 225, 900. In
these three wars alone enough people
were killed to more than entirely wipe
out the population of Chicago and
leave 1t a lonely uninhabited desert.
In addition to those who are recorded
as dying in battle and of disease, there
were other hundreds of thousands who
were MANNED in these wars or who
contracted disease from which they
never fully recovered. And, doubtless.
in thousands of cases deaths were
caused by the absence from home of
their natural provider while these
great wars were being waged. How
much the world lost by losing the serv-
ices Of all these millions OF stalwart
men it is entirely impossible ever to
estimate.
Writers on the cost Of war estimate
also that every wal of any consequence
directly affects practically everybody on
earth, no matter how far distant they
may be from the scene Of the con-
fict. Thus during the civil war, for
instance, the cotton mills of England
we're cut off from their supply of raw
material and as a result there was Il
cotton famine" in Lancashire, which
took on the proportions of a national
calamity. AS a direct result OF the
civil war 1t has been estimated that
100000 workmen in England, Germany,
and France were kept out Of work
continuously for more than three
years, with much misery and starva-
ton as result.

AS a further accommodation to It's
patrons, arrangements have been made
by the passenger department CT the
New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad Company, whereby at the
nominal charge of so cents per piece,
to pay for transfer, baggage may now
be checked through from the principal
stations on its lines, to any hotel, resi-
dence or steamship dock in New York
or Brooklyn. Instead Of checking to
Grand Central Station, New York, only,
and arranging after arrival there to
have your baggage properly delivered,
save yourself trouble by asking local
baggage-masters to forward your bag
gage by special delivery. A particular
style Of check is used for this purpose,
and as soon as your baggage reaches

tors who hold English consols hate the
idea of a war between Russia and
England, because the mere rumor of
such a conn., makes them actually
poorer by reducing the market value Of
their holdings. 1t is believed that
every time a foreign loan is ioated In
this country, for instance, the assur-
ance Of international peace is made
just that much stronger. as all the
people who hold the foreign securities
Will exert their influence in favor of

For military and naval purposes the
nations Of Europe spend annually $50
millions of dollars. They keep under
arms continually more than 5000, 900
men, six times as many ready to fly to
arms when the word mobilize is spo-
ken. 1t is estimated that the commu-
nifty loses at least 5000 a year for each
man who is kept under arms and is,
therefore, unproductive. For all Eu-
rope this loss would amount t 600
millions of dollars, which should be
added to the $50 millions annually
paid out for military and naval pur-
poses. Taking the two together, it
appears that Europe pays something
like 3 1000, 900 a day in times Of peace
for the purpose of keeping itself ready
to go to war.
BY way Of illustrating what the
presence of these great armies means

"Yes," answered the other. Her two

remark brought the tears TO the young
mothers eyes. Did she wonder TO see
me here? have no right to bury my

She was right. Her sorrowful heart
was no excuse for shutting her little
ones away from the innocent pleasures
or barring the sunlight out of their
lives. The sacrifice of the living to the

be in the world. Here is a leaf out
of LIES story well worth the telling:
Emma Nevada, the little California
nightingale, when singing in Paris
one evening, was accompanied in
most delicious manner by the iutist
in the orchestra. The audience was
puzzled at times to distinguish be-
tween the notes of the flute and those
of the singer. Suddenly, through
nervousness, Miss Nevada forgot the
words of her song and stopped; but
the futist without a break impro-
vised few sparkling variations,
which enabled her to regain her
breath and recollect her lost phrases.
At the end of the duet two powdered
tootmen advanced from the wings
with a gigantic basket of flowers sent
from Rome. Nevada Immediately
stopped, selected the finest rose and.
advancing to the footlights. handed

entirely overcome at this unusual
recognition of his talent. 1t was a
