Nothing speaks better for the successful

They do not affect the price at all.
Chickens are in brisk demand, hens

Sweet potatoes are of excellent quail

Santiago fell a little short of Austen

losses at Colenso and Paardeburg
were light, but at Spion Kop they were
heavier than those at Austerlitz, at
jena at Inkerman, at Sadowa and at
Gravelotte, and fell just short of equal

writer quoted himself says, the Boer
losses in these battles were probably
much heavier than the British, and so,
If they were taken into account, the
proportion of casualties in this latest
war would fall little short of that in
the wars of old. Much has doubtless

conclude, are not to be endured without

If this opinion holds good with respect

War losses, Old and New.

From the New York Tribune.
Mr.. Maurice Lows highly interest
ing analysis of the cost of the Boer
war and other wars, recently printed
in the Tribune Review, and an article
in the London Chronicle celebrating
other phases of the same topic, sug-
gest to some the conclusion that mod
ern weapons and methods of battle
have greatly lessened the number of
casualties. That is a welcome con-
clusion, and it may in a measure be
justified. But it is probably not as
fully justified as some suppose. One
writer says that "the perfection of
modern weapons leads to an extraor-
binary reduction Of casualties" But
his own statistics in the London
Chronicle scarcely bear out his en-
thusiastic belief.
Beginning with Marengo, he gives
statistics of the number of combat
ants and the number of casualties in
twenty-five important battles, in eleven
wars, down to the present time. At
Marengo the casualties were 21.7 per
cent of the whole number of combat
ants; at Austerlitz, 1876; at Jena, II;
