Non-military appropriations and pen
sion appropriations have increased
more rapidly than the military bills.
Consequently in the table above the
percentage accredited to the United
States is much too high, as the figures
will show.
How these war expenditures, or
rather expenditures to prevent war, as
they are termed by those responsible
for them, have mounted to such tre-
mendous figures, is shown by the
table, giving the cost of the worlds
armies and navies for every ten years
in the last generation. The totals for
each nation mount into the billions
since 1881.
Though the United States holds
fourth place, according to these fig
ures, in amount Of expenditures for
war preparations, it is really far be-
hind if judged by results. The United
States government pays higher for
preparation for war than any other
nation in the world. 1t pays its sol
diers and sailors higher wages; their
food is better, and costs much more
than that of foreign soldiers and blue
jackets; their clothing is more ex-
pensive; the American government
must pay much higher prices for bat
tleships, guns and all munitions and
materials Of war. Consequently, with
one of the biggest military bills to
foot, the United States really has less
to show than that of any country per
dollar expended.
The graphic charts above show the
military preparedness of nine coun-
tries: Mexico, United States, Great
Britain, Japan, Italy, Austria, France,
Germany and Russia AS is readily
seen, despite the millions it spends on
the army, the United States is a dwarf
among military nations.

Calendar of Conscience,

Charles TX. Of France caused his
brother-in-law, Henry III, to be sum
moned to him in the night about eight
days after the massacre of Saint Bar
tholomew, in August, 1872. He found
him as he had sprung from his bed,
filled with dread at q wild tumult of
confused voices which prevented him
from sleeping. Henry himself heard
these sounds. They appeared like dis
tant shrieks and howlings, mingled
with the indistinquishable ragings of
a furious tunult, and with groans and
curses, as on the day of the massa-
ere.
Messengers were sent to the city to
ascertain whether any new tumult had
broken out, but the answer returned
was that all was quiet in the city, and
that the commotion was in the air.
Henry, the king, could never recall
this incident without horror that
made his hair stand on end.

German Princes wanderIahr.

The prince of Wales might possibly
enjoy his German trip still better il
he could view the country in the un
conventional way followed by the
German crown prince and his broth
ers. Like all the Hohenzollerns. the
kaiser's sons were taught trades, and
their father also allowed them to taste
the delights of the "wanderjahr,
which still forms part of the education
of most German artisans.
In the case of the young princes
the year was split up over several sue
cessive summer holidays, which they
spent tramping through Germany,
knapsack on back, and sleeping at
roadside inns. They travelled without
a servant, accompanied only by their
military governor, Col. Won Falken-
heyn, and were scarcely ever recog.
niZed.

Scientists Have Arrived at the Con.
clusion That Caressing Strokes
viii Do Much for Recovery.

Surgeons are now employing mas
seurs to aid them in healing frac-
lures. The first distinguished surgeon
to practice massage in such cases
was the famous Frenchman, Lucas
Championniere, and his disciples have
developed it's use in many ways.
James Mennell read paper on the
subject before the Medical Society of
London a few weeks ago, in which he
described the massage as consisting
of slow, light, rhythmical stroking in
the neighborhood of the injury, the
movement being merely a "caress"
and almost resembling a mesmeric
pass" the actual site of the injury
being scrupulously avoided 1t con
sists of two elements-passive move
ment and active movement. When
the dose Of passive movement is be-
ing given the patient must be made

whole part.
The Medical Record remarks that
the underlying principle of the treat
ment is that movement is life" This
form of massage differs from the ordi-
nary in that the latter aims at com
pulsion, whether Of the blood in a
given direction or of some movement,
while the massage advocated by Lu-
s-Championniere attempts by its
reflex action through the nervous
system only to restore the tone of the
Vaso-motor system.

order to have it look right when fin
ished; but this was mistake. Moth
ing looks better than a plain house II
the proportions are right. OF course
you must have relief of some kind.
In this case you get it in the veranda,
which reaches clear across the front.
It is not large veranda and not ex-
pensive; but it makes a finish for the
front Of the little house, and 1t pro-
vides very comfortable open-atr sit
ting room in summer, and it is a pro-
lection from snow and other storms
in winter. The money that this veran-
da costs is money we'll spent. No mat
ter how cheap the house, you do not
want the front door to look bare and
unprotected; and you cannot protect it
in any other way quite SO well as by
building a solid-looking, comfortable
veranda.
In size, the plan is 80 by 40 feet;
and in this space the architect has
planned and laid out five rooms, all
large enough to hold the necessary
furniture. To save expense in first
cost, the house is set on cedar posts,
insteal Of having cellar. This is
done because there are men who
could afford to build cottage house
costing $1,000 or $1.400, when 1t would
be impossible for them to raise the
money for house costing $4,000. It
is better to build in this way, and put
a cellar under the house afterwards,
than to keep on paying rent year after
year with the expectation of building
just az you want to in three or four
years time, because the three or four
years slip away quickly, and you are
in no better position to build then
than you are now.

quickly. Sometimes house built for
Eale does not sell right away. If it is
well built, it may be rented to ad.
vantage until a purchaser comes
along; but you must not rent a poorly
built house unless you are looking for
trouble.
The cheapest way to build a house
is to put up a box like this, and put a
straight roof over it. 1t makes all
straight work. Stock sizes of all kinds
of material work in without waste,
and cheap labor can be used to ad-
vantage in putting it together. Every
