It a not be that earth is mans only
abiding place. It cannot be that our
fife is q bubble cast by eternity to float
a moment upon its waves and sink into
nothingness. Else why IS it that the
high and glorious aspirations which
lead like angels from the temples Of our
hearts are forever unsatisfied? Why Is
it that the rainbow and clouds come
over us with a beauty that is not OF
earth, and then pass off to leave US to
muse on their loneliness? Why JIG it
that the stars which hold their festival
around the midnight throne are set
above the grasp of u limited facul'
ties. forever mocking US with their un-
~approachable glory? And finally. why
is It that bright forms of human beauty
are presented to u view and Their
taken from u.s., leaving the thousand
streams of our affection to flow back In
an Alpine torrent upon our hearts
There Is a realm where the rainbow
never fades, where the stars will b
spread out before US like islands tina
siumber on the ocean, and where th'
beautiful things which pass before u
like shadows will stay forever IN on
presence. George D. Prentice.

SOME TERRIBLE WAR BILLS
That Of the United States Govern.
ment Heads the List In
Point Of Size.

The wars OF Napoleon in 10 years
cost France 100000. 900, writes Wen.
dell Phillips Dodge In Leslie's. Our
Civil war expenditure OF the federal
government was $4,000. 100000. near.
ly thirteen times as much q year
as Napoleon's. The Franco-G German
war cost France $1,5SO,0O0. 900. be-
sides an added war indemnity OF 81
000,000.000. This same great war,
which lasted only 100 days. cost Ger
many $450,O00.000 for an average
fighting force OF 100000 men. The
other big European war Of the past
half century, the Russo-T Turkish war,
cost Russia 1856. 900, but she had
two years fighting for her money.
The war in the far East cost Japan
$650.000.000 and Russia $723, 200, 900,
not counting lost ships. Only toward
the end had either side anything like
Q million men in the field. Italy's
little war with Turkey cost 100000 o
day, allowing for q mere 10000 fight
ing men; and the Boer war, In which
England's army averaged 100000. cost
81 ,055, 100000 in two and a half years.

stars Enouah for All Of us.

When Emerson advised everybody
to hitch his wagon to a star, It was
thought the advice was impracticable
that there were not stars enough to
go around. At that time there were
only three or four thousand stars Wis
ible, which number was far short Of
the demand. But when maps Of the
skies were made with the assistance
Of the telescope and camera, 1t was
found there were 55,000,000 stars-not
yet quite enough for all. These stars
were below the seventeenth magni-
tude, which was as far as the optical
Instruments would reach, but since
then the twenty.fourth magnitude
stars have been brought to view, and
now the number Of stars is estimated
at 1,6O0,000,000. So there will need be
no trouble about 1t. There is q star
for every wagon, and a few left for
unborn generations. So hitch your
wagon to a star, and don't delay. The
times demand it.-Ohio State Journal.

The Bauer Of Austria.

The most interesting of Austrian
types and the backbone OF the dual
monarchy, is the bauer" In social
rank he occupies somewhat the same
position as the old English yeoman,
farming his own land, and in many
cases enjoying a far more substantial
fortune than the nobility. The bauer
has a strict social code OF his own,
mixing neither with the laborers on
one hand nor the aristocracy on the
other, is apparently quite content with
his lot, and takes pride In his ability
to provide almost all the necessaries
of life from the productions Of his own
land, even, in many cases, growing the
fax from which his womenfolk weave
all the household clothing.
