WARS AND CENTURIES.

The superstitious notion Is eXtant
there must soon be a great war be-
cause the opening years of every CEN
fury have always been thus marked.
OF course, if the latter were true it
would form 40 sufficient reason for q
war at this time. A century is net a
natural division of time, as is day,
a season or a year, but is entirely
artificial, and there is no more reason
why war should occur at the beginning
than at the middle or end of it. How
ever, as a matter of fact, the state
ment is not true, as every one at ali
acquainted with history should know.
The nineteenth century began With
the establishment of more general
peace than the wCrld has known for
many years; and, If a couple OF years
later war broke out, it was only the
renewal of the wars that had marked
the closing years of the preceding cen
fury. The eighteenth century began
with wars, but they were merely the
combinations of conflicts begun in the
seventeenth. The early years OF the
seventeenth were marked With more
peacemaking than war making. The
wars at the opening of the sixteenth
century were prOlongations of those IN
the fifteenth. and were, at mos petty
affairs. Those at the opening al the
fifteenth were left over from the four
tenth. There were no important wars
in the iIst years of the fourteenth
century, save those at Constantinople
and between England and Scotland
both legacies frcm the thirteenth. Nc
great war occurred in the first decade
of the thirteenth century or OF the
twelfth. At the opening of the eiev-
enth Mahmud of Ghazni invaded India
The tenth was marked with no new
war, nor was the ninth. The eighth
was ten years old when the Saracens
invaded Spain. The beginning OF the
seventh was peaceful. The first years
of the fifth and sixth saw Rome in
volyed in war, but war was then TIE
habitual state of Rome. The fourth
and third began in comparative peace.
The second saw no new war, bur ia ther
the ending Of the old struggle in Da-
cha, and the fierce conflicts of the early
years of the first century of our era
were merely the continue ton of those
begun a dozen years before. In al
these last nineteen centuries, indeed
not more than two are to be charged
with having opened with new and inn
portCnt wars. OF the centuries before
our era, the first began in peace, the
second with nothing but the second

FOREIGN TROOPS IN CHINA.

The impression that, with the con-
clusion of the peace arrangements
with China after the capture of Pekin
by the allied forces, the foreign troops,
except the legation guards, We're with
drawn from China, seems to be in
correct.
Major Wood, military attache of the
United States legation at Toxic. visited
Pekin last September, by way of Ten
tsin and the railway. He writes in a
private letter: "All along the railway
at the various stations were seen le-
tachments of English, French, German,
Chinese, japanese or Italian troops
who are quartAred at various points
watching each other pricipally-for
cannot see why they should be there
Elsewhere Major Wood says there are
something over 10000 foreign troops III
the province of Chilli" So it seems
that the United States is the only one
of the allied nations that has actually
Withdrawn its troops, except for le-
CATION guard of $50 men, from Chi
nese soil.
Possibly it is just as we'll for the
safety of the legations and other for
eigners in Pekin and in North China
that these troops are on hand and that
the line from Pelxin to the coast is
guarded. But probably the Chinese
cannot see any more clearly than Major
Wood why they should be there" and
one would think that their presence
would be a constant source of mortifi-
cation to the Chinese government and
of irritation to the Chinese populace.-

Macedonian War. the third with the
third Samnite war; the fourth with no
great struggle; the fifth with the burn
ing of Sardis and the battle of Lake
Regillus, combinations CT wars begun
long before; the sixth with Nebuchad-
nezzar's conquest of Jerusalem, and in
the earlier centuries, so far as chron-
clogy informs US, there were no mi
tial wars OF magnitude.
The current superstition, then, is in
a noteworthy degree contrary to the
facts. Instead of being invariably or
even generally marked with the out
breakings of great wars, the begin
rings of centuries have in the vast
majority of cases been remarkably free
from such catastrophies. II we were

A QUESTION OF STAMPS.
What Would Happen to Collectors Il

Jones was a boy of fifteen who coll

ended, out comes the big stamp album,
and he pores over it until bedtime with
moro attention and interest than ~

The other evening he turned away
from the precious book long enough ia

CURRENT COMMENT
IF RUSSIA AND JAPAN FIGHT.
Forecast of the Possible Effects Up
on American Trade.

Let us assume, first, that a war.
should one ocur, will be restricted to
duel between the original antagonists.
Even in that event, it is evident from
the shipments now making in anticipa-
ton of the conflict that our exports 70
Russia by way of the Atlantic, and to
Japan by way of the Pacific, will be
enormously augmented. During the
last few weeks the Russian govern
ment has entered into large contracts
for mess meats in Chicago. Kansas
City. Omaha, and Oklahoma; while
Japan has placed unusually large or
ders for flour in the Northwest. The
wastefqlness inseparable from mill
tary operations would cause incessant
demands for additional food supplies.
These demands would impart an ex-
traordinary impetus to the output OF
cereals on the Pacific coast, and of
meat productions in the Missippl val
ley
Our iron ard steel products, also. VIII
be imperatively needed for. in order
to facilitate communications, the
Japaneses, as they advance must COM
plete and extend the Fusan- Seoul rail-
way, while the Russians must widen
and solidify the roadbcd. and multiply
the rolling stock of the Trans Siber-
ian line. Hitherto. Russia has COM
peted with United States as a purveyor
of fine petroleum to Japan. From the
moment that war breaks out we shall
possess a monopoly of the export of
mineral oil to the Island Empire.
1t is generally believed that if the
Russian war feet, shall be beaten in
the first encounter France would be
called upon for assistance, and she
would have to comply with the request,
under penalty of forfeiting the czar'
good will, TO secure which she has
made so great a pecuniary sacrifice.
Under the terms of the Anglo-Japa-
nese treaty, the appearance of France
in the arena would render inevitable
the interposition of Great Britain. We
should then have an opportunity such
rs has not been offered since the out
break OF the wars against Napoleon.
For the ocean carrying trade of the
whole world we would then have no
competitor except. perhaps. Germany.
Whether, therefore. the war In the
far east shall be limited to the rivals
for ascendancy in Korea, or shall ul-
timately sweep into it's vortex all of
the great European powers, the United
States will have but little to loose and
very much to gain. The certainties Of
