II France Went to War.

NJ. Roche, French ex-minister of com
merce, gives statistics of the expense
that France would incur in the event o.
a European war. He takes as basis
NJ. de Freycinst's calculation that th'
100000 men who were engaged In th'
Franco Prussian war, not Including
100000 or 100000 reserves in camps anc
Rarrisons at the moment OF the armis
tice. cost 13 francs a head a day from
Sept. 10, 1870, to Feb. 10, 1871. Today
the expense would be far greater. There
would be at least 100000 men In the
fighting line, while to gain numerical
strength equal to Germany alone France
would be obliged to appeal to the si1
classes Of the territorial army, compris
ing 100000 men. Thus 100000 mer
would have to be modified, Transported
and nourished. Six hundred thousane
horses would be necessary, OF which
100000 would have to be bought anc
paid for. Taking 10 francs head dai
" for each soldier and estimating the
expense of provender and the repair oi
material, VI. Roche arrives at the colos
sal figure Of $6,OO0OO0 daily as Frances
expense in a big European war under
present conditions. ~

ROMANCE OF A WEDDING.
story of the Marriage of Sir walter
scott's Eldest Son.


A newly discovered letter by Sir Wal
ter Scott, written in 1925, recalls the
story of the marriage Of his eldest son,
Walter, a lieutenant Of hussars, In
that year to Miss Jane Jobson, a Scot
tish heiress. In letter to Lady Davy
that long has been well known Scott
said of the engagement: Though her
fortune be considerable, the favors of
the public will enable me to make such
settlements as her friends think very
adequate. The only impediment has
been the poor mother, highland lady
of great worth and integrity, who
could not brook parting with the sole
object of her care and attention, to
resign her to the vicissitudes of mil
itary life, while l necessarily refused
to let my son sink into a fox hunting,
muir fowl shooting squire. She has
at last been obliged to acquiesce rath-
er than consent, her friends and coun-
selors being clear sighted enough to
see that her daughters happiness could
scarce be promoted by compelling the
girl to break of mutual attachment
and a match with a young lieutenant
Of hussars, sure Of having troop very
soon, with a good estate In reversion
and as handsome fellow as ever put
his foot In q stirrup. SO they succeed
ed In bringing matters to hearing"
In the letter lately published for the
first time and written to his intimate
friend, James Ballantyne, Scott gives
his frank opinion Of his sons mother
in-law after this fashion: Il cannot
command my mind at this moment to
correct proofs. Our old lady has given
US SO much trouble that it is very yex-
atious. But 1t availeth nothing, the
other friends having taken the whole
into their own management and the
settlements being now drawing.
trust the good dame will come to and
make a virtue of necessity, but her
obstinacy cannot affect the event,
though it gives the poor innocent girl
very much pain. Never saw such
hyena in all my life. perfect allegory
on the banks of the Nile, and all for
nonsense of the first water"
This Objectionable person improved
on better acquaintance, however. Soon
after the marriage Scott wrote to his
son Charles, Yesterday Mrs. Jobson
gave us a very handsome dinner and
a party In the evening" A month or
two later he wrote to his darling"
daughter-in-law, then in Dublin: Let
me know, my love, what can fetch
for you from Scotland. Mrs. Jobson
promises me a parcel. She had the
goodness to dine with me in my
widowed state the day before yester-
day and is in high health and spirits.

They court Sharp Criticism.

Nothing, it is said, gives the average
French fashionable woman such acute
pleasure as to be scolded by her pas
tor. Churches where the sharp tongued
priests hold forth on the follies Of So
ciety and probe the failings Of the rich,
fashionable woman are Invariably
crowded with smart women, and the
more arrogant and dictatorial the
preacher the greater favorite he is with
his audience. The fame Of the cele-
brated Pere Didon, who never spared,
was largely based on his transcend
ent ability to give 1t to them" The
sermon in which Pere Olivier declared
that the charity bazaar calamity was
direct visitation from heaven upon the
heads Of the wealthy, fashionable wom-
en- who managed the bazaar brought all
fashionable feminine Paris to his feet.
Pere du Lac is another preacher who
has become celebrated through the
mordant lashings Of his tongue.-New
York Tribune.

Macedonian Peasants.

In a magazine article on Macedonian
refugees the author describes them as
a peasantry Of the lowest type-duil
witted and Of poor physique, corrupt,
degraded and semisavage.
"The gratitude Of Macedonian wom-

than their indignation" says the au-
thor. "They embrace me In hug OF
dirty rags, and they kiss me on both
cheeks. One poor old lady told me.
after this ceremony, that she had been
mourning the death Of her son for
eight years to such an extent that dur
Ing all Of that period she had never
washed her head! No soap she cried,

Too Great a Resemblance,

Bishop Olmsted of Denver ia inter-
ested in q number Of charities and OBJ
tains many generous contributions on
their behalf from rich Episcopalians.
There Is in Denver, however, mil
llonaire who will rarely consent to help
Bishop Olmsted's pet projects. He is
a generous man, and in his own way
he assists the poor, but to organized
charity, for some reason, he heartily
objects. The bishop often asks him
for subscriptions, but these requests
are almost invariably refused.
Recently the millionaire had bis por-
trait painted. Bishop Olmsted met
him the other day and said:

portrait"
"And did you ask it for a subscrip-
tion?" said the millionaire, smiling.

there was no use-it was 30 like you"

JAvA'S DEATH PLANT.
& Grows Only ON the Sterile Soil Of
the Volcanic Regions.

& Grows Only ON the Sterile Soil Of
the Volcanic Regions.
Java, the land OF the famous and
much exaggerated Death valley, has
many wonderful curiosities, the prin-
cipal one being the kali mujah. or
death plant. 1t grows only on the
sterile soils Of the volcanic regions Of
Java and the adjoining islands and is
even there reckoned as q curiosity on
account Of its extreme scarcity. 1t
grows from two and half to three
feet in height, with long, slender
stems, well protected BY stout thorns
nearly an inch in length. The ground
leaves are of delicate, satnlike
smoothness, heart shaped, emerald
green on one side and blood red,
streaked and veined with light bun, on
the other.
The flowers OF this death dealing
beauty are even more beautiful than
the plant itself, being very large and
cup shaped and Of color almost
deathly IL its whiteness. The name OF
the plant is from a characteristic OF
these splendid flowers, which, beauu-
ful though they are. continually drip
with deadly poison.
The poison, which is distilled In the
bottom of the cup shaped blossom, has
the sickening odor Of chloroform In
tensifed a dozen fold, It being power
full enough to overcome a full grown
man In q few seconds, even when In
hailed in open air. The perfume, II
such a pungent odor can properly be
80 called, produces insensibility In the
form of convulsions, distorting the
face, especially the mouth and eyes.
into a horrid, crazy looking grin. Re
covery from the effects Of inhaling this
odor Is said to be very slow.

Iet those leaves drop from his hand.
BY their power he was able to break
the fatal spell Of the destroyer and
make her beg for mercy and restore to
him his helpless and suffering compan-
ions.
A Heather Poets Idea.
This was a heathen poets idea Of
the power Of evil being overcome by
the mighty and supernal power Of a
few leaves given to his hero by a
heather god Cannot we use today our
lives as the symbol of healing leaves? ?
Cannot we feel that we by the grace OF
God can absorb into ourselves the heal
ing power Of the gospel? Then cannot
we further believe that the healing
and saving power Of the gospel which
we have received from Christ we can
impart to those dear ones who draw
their earthly life from our life? As
we have been saved by the blood of
Christ, cannot we offer that atoninp
blood to those who love US and who
are dependent upon us for temporal as
we'll as spiritual life?
But, though a fading leaf Is a dying
leaf, yet after all its last days ought
to be its most resplendent days. Is
the leaf ever so beautiful as when it
has the hectic flush of death upon its
cheek? Is 1t ever so beautiful as when
we rub our fingers over its yellow fore
head, when, like a corpse still warm,
It is torn off an overhanging branch
and tumbles gently this way and that
Into our waiting laps?
And is there a time In all his earthly
career when q Christians life Is SO
beautiful as after the autumnal frosts
of the tomb have touched his cheek?
Then the physical force of the life may
be gone. He may not have the strength
he once had, but In his eye there will
come a softer look, in the touch OF his
hand there will come gentler SYM
pathy, in the sound Of his voice there
will be holier prayer, in the move
ment Of his heart there will be gen.
tier yearning. Thus the aged Christian,
like the last leaf left upon the tree
branch, may seem to be alone as all
the leaves Of his generation have fallen,
yet people will love him for bis noble
life, mellowed by many a stinging
frost. They will love him for what
he has been, for what he is, and for
what he is to be. Oh, my dear friends,
by the grace Of the Lord Jesus Christ,
as a Christian, your last days on earth
may become your best days. Would
you not have them a foretaste of the
best Of all days. which shall come to
all of Christ's dear ones in heaven?

Span of Life In Short.

short as that of an insect yet its life Is
absolutely vital to this country. Once
destroy the vegetation Of land and
you turn that land into a Sahara.
Leaves suck in the moisture They are
reservoirs for water They decide
whether a country is to be fertile or
not. Once destroy the forest with Its
leaves and the orchards with their
leaves and you change the whole at
mospheric condition Of the country, as
parts Of Spain and Portugal have been
robbed Of all moisture by the destruc-
ton of the leaves. Thus each genera
tion's spiritual life Is absolutely neces-
sary to be matured and developed for
the spiritual life of the generation
which is to follow. Your spiritual life
decides what is to be the spiritual life
of your children and your children's
children.
Would that our spiritual life might
not only be a saving gospel for our
selves. but also for those who are to
come after US. There Is a beautiful
story told Of Ulysses, the most famous
Of all Homeric heroes, who won his
greatest victory when he overcame the
nendish power Of the sorceress by the
influence of a few leaves. Circe lived
In beautiful palace upon a certain Is
land. There as beautiful enchant-
rsss, surrounded by her maidens, she
welcomed the travellers who landed up
on her shores. She banqueted and fet-
ed them. At the end Of the feast,
however, she would arise, wave over
the assemblage her magic wand, and
her guests would be changed into re-
pulsive four footed beasts, who would
be driven by the attendant out to the
swine troughs. After Ulysses fellow
voyagers had been thus metamorphos-
ed the hero went to their rescue. In
his hand he held the fabulous herb
which was given to him by the god
Hermes. Never for ap ipstart did he
