CARDS to his old friends.
The Russian soldier is the most
poorly paid in all the world. A private
in the ranks of the army of the car
gets S3.7S a year, compared to the
$3.50 to $500 the United States pays
its men of the ranks. England pays
its privates $86.15 a year; France,
S2O.4O; Germany, $3.50; Austria,
SS.12. Remember, these figures are
for a whole year and represent the
total amount of cash paid the fighting
men in that period.
When you talk of billion dollars
did you ever stop to think what an
enormous sum of money it means. We
all know how rapidly an expert coun-
ter of coins will manipulate them. You
can scarcely follow the motion of his
fingers as he shifts the coins from
one pile to another and counts them.
The treasury experts will count 4OOO
silver dollars in an hour and keep 1t
up all day long; but that is their linn
it. Working eight hours day, then,
an expert counter of coins will count
1000 silver dollars in day, but how
long will it take him at that rate to
count a million dollars? Thirty-one
days. But that is only the beginning
of the measurements of great figures,
for if this same man were to go on
silver dollars at the same
rate of speed for ten years ne would
find that he had only counted 100 mil
lion of them, and that to count a bill
lion dollars would require 1O2 years
Of steady work at the rate of eight
hours a day during every working
day of every one of the 102 years.

quality, at Reilly's. i
