A Million A Dav.

A writer for the Army and Navy
Gazette, declares that war between
two great European powers would
cost $1,000, 600 day. In making
his calculations, the writer uses the
figures in the Franco-German war Of
1870. He writes as follows:
1.-THE cost from July II. 1870 to
the eighteenth of the following May.
on which day the treaty of Frank
fort was ratified, was 1,912.000,000
francs or about 100000, this
being for war charges properly so
called like s1,5O0.OO0 per day.
"But If the charges for the pro-
visoning of Paris. the support of the
families OF soldiers, the maintenance
Of the invading armies, contribu-
tions imposed by the enemy. loans,
succor for the victims of the war.
repairs of damages done, or other
indirect charges, and the vast in
demnity with it's interest added, the
total cost Of the war is brought up
the colossal figures of s1,973,000,-
900 and to rate of some $780,
900 per day.
"The cost of the war to Germany
is estimated with contingent charges
and the reorganization of the army
but not the ordinary military bud
get. to have been s675,000,O00
in modern conditions, year of
war would cost France s2,2O0,000,-
600 while for Germany the outlay
would be something approaching
the vast sum OF $500, 900, 600"
Put the Hague to work on COM
mission basis and II would event
ually become a wealthy institution,
II the figures given by the writer are
correct. When Gen. Sherman gave
his famous definition of war, he
probably was thinking about the ex-
penses as well as the death roll.

The Actor Wealth

The Astor family Of New York are
immensely wealthy, and the most Of
their great fortune has come Of the
increased value of their holdings of
real estate In the city. 1t was in
1884 that John Jacob Aston arrived
In New York a poor man. He be-
gan business in small way dealing
in furs, and as he made money he
began to invest in real estate,
which he bought at modest prices.
There are now about 700 parcels of
real estate in the possession of the
Aston family, assessed for $107,000,-
900, but valued at $100,000.00o,
and old John Jacobs descendants
have collected many millions from
rent payers of New York.--Nash-

braids are growing in favor on two
quite distinct types of hats, the street
