Earliest Easter since 1855.

From thr Boston Globe
Florists, milliners and women who en-
joy finery and display are not pleased
because Easter Sunday this year comes
March q. which. is the earliest Easter
since 1856. Lilies. azaleas. hyancinths,
tulips and other flowers are now being
forced in hothouses so that they can ap-
pear in time for Easter. which it is
feared will be a chilly day. although We
have had n number of days this month
that would have served in most ac-
ceptable manner.
Lent begins on February 5. which is
Ash Wednesday. and one has to 60 back
101 years before he reaches an earlier
date on which Ash Wednesday fell. II
he chooses to go back to February J,
in the year 3S a. D., lie will find the
very earliest Ash Wednesday known. But
It is quite probable that Easter parades
were not in fashion at such an carly
date.
The point isthat Lent this year comes
within two days of the worlds record
for an early appearance, and nothing
that even matched it has occurred for
ffty-seven years

The Cost of War.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star
1t has been taken for granted that
the introduction of modern armaments.
equipment and methods has largely in
creased the cost of war. Yet if some
figures submitted on the cost of tho
Balkan war are to be accepted at their
face value, the increase cannot be as
great as was supposed.
1t is estimated by European author
ities that the cost of this latest war has
reached a total of S72,OO0.OO0 The war
was begun nearly three months ago and
the heavy expenses were only curtailed
when the 'ristice was signed and fight
ing was Suspended. The armies are still
in the field and the cost of maintaining
them continues to be a heavy drain.
When it is remembered that our own
civil war, when in full swing cost the
federal government s1,0O000O a day, n
total cost of S72,O00.0OO for three months
war in southeastern Europe seems small.
1t is true that our own war was far
greater conflict, not only in the number
of men involved. but in extent OF the
war zone. Nevertheless, the money cost
of war fifty years ago was only a frac-
tion of what II is to-day. according to
all authorities.
The Italian government has Just made
public a statement placing the cost to
Italy of the Italo-Turkish war at nearly
ss5. oOo,ooo That war lasted almost pre-
cisely one year, but it was not marked
by any great campaigns and must have
been cheap war as modern wars go.
1t is also stated that Russia has spent
s10,00000o. Austria $4,000, 600. and Ger
many, France, Italy. and Great Britain
combined nearly $l3O,00o.o00' merely in
preparation for the eventuality of war
as the result of the Balkan disturbance
II these figures are right, 1t is hard to
understand how the estimate of the Bal
kan war expense account can be correct
also.
