a CENTURY's COST OF WAR.

The New York World says If con-
gress should pass the resolution of
Mr.. Bartholdt. of Missouri. for the
compilation of statistics showing the
cost of war and war preparations in
all countries since 1900. it will be
found that the price should ''stagger
human',y."
Chs~ Summer said in 1S45 that
it would be difficult, If not impos-
sihle, to arrive at an exact estimate
of the cost of standing army. navy.
Qualifications and arsenals and militia.
To these. he said. must be added the
enormous loss caused by the with
drawal of millions of hardy. healthy
men. in the bloom of life, from use
full. productive labor
MIR, Summer found that from 1888
to 1S4S our government had spent
S24S,620.O55 for all civil purposes,
and in the same time. deducting the
cost of the war of 1912 with Great
Britain. had spent s1.Ss5. 900, 900 in
preparation for war, plus S4OO, OOO, ,O0O
for militia. Eighty cents of every dol
lar raised by federal taxation in time
of peace was a tribute to the fetch
of war.
The federal government nowadays
appropriates about $500. 900. 600 a
year for direct warlike preparations,
or in seven years more than it did in
the first 90 years of its existence.
How about the world cost of war?
The debts of nations given in the
World Almanac exceed 100000, ,OOO,-
600. These do not nearly represent
the cost of a century's wars, but only
that portion of the cost which remains
unpaid and charge upon the people.
Only in a few cases, like Canada and
New Zaland. does public debt repre-
sent other than war expenditure, and
these sums are more than balanced
by LEFTOVER" debts from the 18th
century.
The earth has 1,4s7. 900. 900 inhab-
itants, or 2s7.5sO.OOO families. Its
permanent load of war debt is $1,000
for every family

Of the papers of the world is estimated
to be 10000. .OOO. .O0O copies. To grasp
the idea OF this magnitude we may
state that II would cover no fewer
than 1c.45O square miles OF surfacei
that it is printed on $4,000 tons OF
paper; and. further. that If the num-
ber (I2,OO0. 200, ,O0O) represented. IN
stead of copies, seconds, it would take
more than 3Ss years for them TO lapse
In lieu of this arrangement, we might
press and pile them vertically upward
to gradually reach our highest noun
tains
Topping all these and even the
highest Alps, the pile would reach
the magnificent altitude of 400 or IN
round numbers SOC miles. Calculat-
ing that the average man spends tVe
minutes reading his paper in the day
(this is very low estimate). we find
that the people of the world alto
gether annually occupy time equiva-
lent to 100000 years reading the pa
pers.

THE STRONGEST FORT.

The strongest fort in the whole wide
world
Shall l tell you where il stands?
'Tis not where flags are proudly un-
furled
In this or in foreign lands.
Nay. not where the walls are thick
and high.
Where the cannons are frowning
down,
Nor yet where the troops are stand
ing by
To defend their walled-up town.
But down in your midst where battles
rage
Rage on from the morn till night,
1t has stood the test from age to age.
And never gave up the fight.
No poet has ever sung its praise,
No hist'ry given it thought,
Yet faithful it stood through all the
days,
And bravely the battles fought.
Shall the riddle be read by some
brave herald?
Shall the curtains be drawn apart?
Lol the strongest fort in the whole
wide world
You'll find in a true woman's
heart.

THE WEAVER.

Beside the loom of life l stand
And watch the busy shuttle go:
The threads I hold within my hand
Make up the filling; strand on strand.
They slip my fingers through, and
SO
This web OF mine fills out apace,
While / stand ever in my place.
One time the woof is smooth and fine
And colored with sunny dye.
Again the threads SO roughly twine
And weave so darkly line on line
My heart misgives me. Then would
Fain lose this web-begin anew
But that, alas, cannot do.
Some day the web will all be done.
The shuttle quiet in its place.
From out my hold the threads be run;
And friends at setting of the sun
Will come to look upon my face,
And say: Mistakes she pade not few
Yet wove perchance as best she
knew"

ear has been turned to her requests.
She petitioned that she might be al
lowed to give them gifts at Christmas,
but this was also denied. Could any
thing be more heartless? Well may
she say:
MY child Is mine.
Blood of my blood. flesh of my flesh
is he,
Rocked at my breast and nurtured
at my knee.
Fed with sweet thoughts ere ever he
drew breath,
wrested in battle through the gates
of death.
With passionate patience is my
treasure boarded,
And all my pain with priceless joy
rewarded"
