Democratic Swiss Army.

1t is a democratic army, that of the
Swiss. The whole manhood OF the ma
ton is liable to service, and there are
no officers but those who have served
as privates. There are no such col
leges as at West Point or Woolwich
or Sandhurst, but the man who Is to
become an officer must get his instruc-
ton in a few weeks training in the
schools at Thun or Basel. The con-
federation has the control Of the
skilled mechanics, such as engineers,
the sanitary corps, the commissariat
So much the democratic country has
left to the central government. But
the cantons have to look after and sup
ply the infantry, and their duty is to
see that no man able in body and
mind evades his military service; but
no canton may keep more than 300
men as a permanent force, which is
a curious illustration Of the double
sovereignty in that crinkle Of Europe.

The Moral Life.

Moral principle is not thinking the
right thing, but doing it. 1t is giving
Is ounces to the pound and So inches
to the yard. 1t is, treating your neigh
Dor kindly. 1t is not worrying others.
There are some people who pride
themselves on holding to high moral
principle, who are an exceeding, great
annoyance to the people they meet. OF
all the unprincipIed things in this
world, making people unhappy is the
meanest. Yet there are many people
who are sticklers to moral duty, doing
that very thing every day. He is q
mean thief who will take from another
his peace Of mind. One man told US
he didn't sleep a whole night because
of a needless remark a thoughtless
friend made to him. There are many
people who are such confirmed mate
rialists that they think you can only
do harm to a man by hitting him with
a club or stealing his chickens. They
don't seem to know there is a mental
and spiritual world, where all real
feeling dwells and where the deepest
torture may be in1icted.-Ohio State

classical" Music.

Many people have an idea that only
the compositions Of the old masters
are classical and frequently imagine
that these are classical because they
belong to the past. 1t is not antiquity
or the name Of the composer that de-
termines whether a piece of music is
classical or otherwise. The true mean
ing of classical music is: Compost
tons which maintain q certain stan
dard; music of the first rank. Compo-
sitions can be classical and romantic
at the same time. The word romantic,
as applied to music, means imagina-
tive, fairylike. Music which is clas-
steal and at the same time romantic,
is more emotional, more fanciful,
more poetic and less rigid and formal
than strictly classical compositions
For example, Bsch's works are, more
frequently, strictly classical, whereas
Mendelssohn's and Schumann's are
both classical and romantic.

SWISS HOTELS WoNDRoUs
Stand in Solitary Grandeur, But Lack
Nothing That Makes for Comfort
of Traveller.

You may climb up the heights by
the aid Of railways, funiculars. racks
and-pinions, diligences and sledges,
and when nothing but your own feet
will take you any further you will see
in Switzerland a grand hotel, magic
ally and incredibly raised aloft in the
mountains.
1t is solitary-no town, no houses,
nothing but this hotel hemmed in on
all sides by snowy crags and made
impregnable by precipices and treach-
eroUs snow and ice.
At the great redrawing of the map
Of Europe, when the lesser national
tiles are to disappear, the Switzers
will take armed refuge in their far
thest grand hotels and there defy the
mandates of the concert.
For the hotel, no matter how remote
it be, lacks nothing that is mentioned
in the dictionary Of comfort. Beyond
its walls your life is not worth twelve
hours purchase.
You would not die of hunger, be-
cause you would perish of cold.
At best you might hit on some
PEASANTS cottage in which the stand
ards CT existence had not changed for
a century.
But once pass within the portals OF
the grand hotel, and you become the
spoiled darling of an intricate organi-
zation that laughs at mountains, ava

ONE OF NATURES MARVELS
Great Stone Face of the Pyrenees Has
Entranced Artists From All
Parts of the World.

There is probably no more remark
ably example of natural statuary in
the world than the famous stone face
Of the Pyrenees, in Spain. The eleYa-
ton stands alone, surrounded by val
leys so that the profile dominates the
skyline for many miles.
The chin is firmly modelled, while
the lips seem to be tightly compressed.
The line representing the nose is
drawn with a strong bold stroke, Civ
ing it a truly Castilian character.
The mountain with this singular con-
tour rises so high above the surround
ing country that it may be seen for
many miles. 1t is, besides, modelled
On such heroic lines that the appear
ance of foliage, even the growth Of
forest, does not alter the hfelike ap-
pearance throughout the seasons.

Wisdom.

Wisdom is not the same with under
standing, talents, capacity, ability, sa-
gacity, sense or prudence; not the
same with any one Of these; neither
will all these together make it up. It
is that exercise of the reason into
which the heart enters; a structure OF
the understanding rising out of the
moral and spiritual nature It is for
this cause that a high order Of wisdom
that IS, a highly intellectual wisdom
is still more rare than a high order
of genius. When they reach the very
highest order they are one; for each
includes the other, and intellectual
greatness Is matched with moral
strength.-Sir Henry Taylor.

And every story a good one. They
are entertaining, but that is not all you
can say about them. You know there
is hardly periodical published that is

fresh your knowledge of geography;
some tell you the mysteries of chemis-
try, some reveal the secrets of fores-
try and general farming. They cover
wide range. They are chosen with
an eye to the possible hkings of every
member of Companion family-stor-
les of vigorous action and stirring ad-
venture for boys, stories of college
life and domestic vicissitudes for girls
stories that range all the way from
sheer drolley to deep seriousness for
men and women. There are no stories

FISH ALMOST A CLEAR WHITE
Remarkable Specimens of AIbino
Trout That Are on Exhibition
in New York Aquarium.

Among the interesting exhibits at
the New York aquarium is a collection
Of albino trout. These creatures,
which are all OF a clear cream white,
including their fms, with no color
about them except that of their char
acteristic bright ruby-red eyes, are
most striking and curious in appear
ance, an exchange says
In its natural coloring the lake trout
shows on its upper body white or
grayish spots On a brown background
On the large albino lake trout the
spots can be discerned, appearing as
very faint spots Of the same color, but
OF different weave in a woven fabric.
These spots show so family that they
would never be noticed by one IN
familiar with this species and its mark
ings. To the casual eye these fishes
present bodies Of solid unbrokeK
white.
The lake trout is a handsome fish
and these aIbino trout are perfect
specimens without a blemish They
appear not as freaks. but simply as
graceful and beautiful white fishes.
To display them to greater advantage
by contrast the larger albino trout are
shown in tank Of brook trout.

after the plans were adopted. Mrs.

Wars memorable Cost.

War exacts many varieties of toll, mainly hui
lives and money. Always the cost in these
two items is frightful, as evidenced in the pres
ent European conflict it is appalling.
Germany admits that already she has lost more
than 1000 900 men in the Prussian list alone there
figures not including the Bayaran, Wurtemburgan
and Saxonian lists, the naval casualties the
officers and non-commissioned officers who have
been fighting with the Turks. The losses suffered
by the other nations allied with Germany pre-
sumably as large, relatively, those of the
countries opposed to Germany
total loss of life to date of approximately
100000 men would appear to be very conserv-
atve estimate
And what of the cost in money? Including his
last request for more funds Premier Asquth says
the English allotments for war purposes have
amounted to $4,000, 600 900. The contest is cost
ing England 900 a day-and the end
is not in sight Despite occasional outbursts of
peace talk there is indication that the contend
ing parties have weakened in their several deter
limitations to fight the conflict to the bitter end.
When that end will be no tell
England makes no secret of the feet that she is
financially distressed, and that the immediate days
of the future carry grave financial problems for
her. If this is true of Europes strongest nancia:
power it is probably true of her allies,
to whom she has been compelled to advance many
millions of dollars; and it has been several months
since the German fnanciers sounded warning to
their nation that the Teutonic financial aspect was
alarming.
Some time in the future there will inevitably
arrive the day when the financial resources of the
warning nations will exhausted. There can be
no rehabilitation of national finances while the
war is in progress. Whether it will be concluded
ahead of bankruptcy and utter ruin is something
which naught but time can tell
