Now. the Swiss are the greatest rifle
fanciers in Europe. The militia system
almost like standing army-gives
each man his gun to keep at home and
practice with. And the confederation
furnishes at half cost price two kinds
of cartridges, for sports who want to
practice in the back yard, and for those
who cross into Germany and shoot
against the experts of the German
army stands. AS the Germans admit
only the lead bail in such practice. in
spite of its fouling the gun, the Swiss
confederation furnishes her sons who
shoot in German stands a regulation
Swiss 7.5 cartridge with lead ball
sheathed in heavy paper to avoid foul
ing. And the Swiss carry OFF seven
prizes in ten.
There are quantities of Swiss who
can shoot an apple off the head of any

THE COST OF WARFARE.
(ShravenOrt Timeg

The financial cost of modern war
fare is well illustrated in the follow
ing figures compiled by the Tribune
of Rome. They take no account OF
the expense for pensions:
The war with the Beers in South
Africa cost England $780, 100000.
Our war with Spajh cost the two
'belligerents together 1926, 100000.
The war with Turkey cost Italy up
to December 81, 1918, 1929, 100000.
After deducting the money spent on
permanent improvements, such as
new and unspoiled warships, artil-
lery, docks, telegraph lines, fortifica-
lions, railroads, etc, it cost Italy
s2.12 for every soldier for every day
of the war. This cost in the Franco
Prussian war was $3.50 for the Ger
man army and SLIGO for the French.
1t was IS a day for each British
soldier enaged in the Boer war. Ac-
cording to the Austrian ministry OF
National defense European war
would cost Austria $3.50 day for
every soldier, in addition to the ex-
pense for pensions, new arms, MUM
tions and other war material destroy
ed and indemnities to private indi-
viduals.

WHAT FIXES EASTER DATE.

Easter, Christian festival COM
meMorating and celebrating the res
direction of Christ. occurs on April
IL this year.
According to the decree of the
Council of Nice, Easter day is the
first Sunday after the paschal full
moon-that Is, the full moon that
occurs on the day of the vernal
equinox, March 81, or on any of the
twenty eight days following that date.
Consequently the earliest date on
which Easter can fall is March %,
and the latest is April 25. It is con-
ssidered the great movable feast of the
Christian year.
For, the next fourteen years the
dates of Easter will be as follows:
1914, April r.; 1915. April 4; 1916
April %; 1917, April 8; 1918, March

ing grows much faster than interest

Another interesting case was that
of real estate deal in New York state
recently which involved the satisfac-
ton of mortgage that had run for
81 yeras without any payment except
for interest. The mortgage was CIV
en- for $1,000 in 1863 For thirty-three
years interest was paid at the rate
of seven per cent, and for the past
Is years the rate was six per cent.
The total interest paid on the mort
age was 1890 and the principal OF
$1,000 was still due. Nearly three
and a half times the principal was
paid and that too without reducln
the original debt. The moral is OBJ
vious. Save your money and become

The depositor then drew 500 and

out twice as much as he ever put III

This sum was allowed to remain

ROSPERITY
DISPENSING CHARITY.

True charity consists In helping the
unfortunate to help himself. Promis-
cuous giving is detrimental in that it
frequently pauperizes. Many per-
sons, momentarily destitute and fore
ed to seek aims, have found the pub
lie so generous they have given up
iii thought OF honest labor. Thus
beggars and imposters are made.
Not every fellow who sits on the
sidewalk with hat held out and
crutches by his side is the cripple he
appears. After the crowds have gone
ana the coins ceased dropping into
the hats, these fellows have been
s&yn to hobble to their favorite sa-
looms. discard the crutches and spend!
freely the quarters, dimes and nickles
contributed BY generous persons, who
have worked hard for the money so
freely given.
Because these things are true, the
plan inaugurated in Pine Bluff by
tho Associated Charities, the City
Beautiful club and the authorities to
help those who are willing to hey
themselves is to be warmly COM
mended. 1t is in accord with the
views Of the greatest students Of the
ity-dispensing problem. The able
bodied man unwilling to help himself
is unworthy Of aid. The person de-
serving aid Is willing nay prefers
to render service for the assistance
given. ~
