AS Seen By Themselves
IN The European Arena

| The parliament will meet Tuesday
and it is probable that action may be
delayed until then. Special trains are
waiting to carry the German and Aus
trian ambassadors out of the country,
if their departure becomes necessary.
One report mas it tlat the ambassadors
have demanded their passports.
II London matters of supreme in
terest are tne possible formations of a
coalition government, and Earle Kitch-
ener's call for 100000 additional men
to form new armies.
The British secretary of war, speak
ing in the house of lords, announced
that as the Germans Lad persisted in
the use of asphyxiating gases, the
British and French government were
of the opinion that their troops mus
be adequately protected by the en-
ployment of similar methods
In the war zones reports of the ac-
tions contain no outstanding feature.
In fact, rains and mists have inter
fered seriously with the operations in
Flanders and France, where, during
the past week, a determined movement
by the French and British has been
making headway.
A fierce battle is going on in Cali
cia, the fortress of Przemysl being the
objectives Of great German and Aus
trian armies. The western forts of
Przemysl have been heavily lombard
ed, and between that stronghold and
the Dniester River the Austro-German
armies, attacking with the utmost de-
termination, captured several Russian
trenches, although "at the cost of
enormous sacrifices" according to the
Russian statement.
The Teutonic allies, Vienna reports,
have forced a passage of the San river
at several points and secured a foot
hold on the eastern bank. The Rus
sian prisoners taken during the first
half of May, the Austrian war office
said, number $4,000.

WAR SUMMARY.

The Imperial German chancellor,
outlining in the Reichstag concessions
which Austria-Hungary had offered to
Italy, conditional on Italian neutrality,
referred to the strained relations be-
tween Italy and Austria, and said:
'With its parliament the Italian peo-
pie now will decide whether it will
reach the fulfllmen of all its national
aspirations in the widest extent in a
peaceful manner, or whether it will
plunge the country into war. I will
give up the hope entirely that the scale
of peace will be heavier than the scale
of wars If the alliance is torn
by one of the three partners, we shall
know, together with the other partner,
how to meet the new danger with
= >dauntless confidence and courage"
= Italy as yet has made no decision.

I had Kidney trouble in the worst
form, and my liver was out of order;
and I had rheumatism so badly l
could not get around. One day 1
picked up an Almanac and saw your
advertisement, and it fit my case ex-
actly. I got a one-dollar bottle and
took it and when it was gone I felt
so mucn better that I bought five more
bottles of DR.. Kilmer's SWamp-Root

SACRED NUMBERS.
Four and Forty Were Held In Rever-
ence by the Aneients.

Four and Forty Were Held In ReVer-
ence by the Aneients.
The number four was anciently es'
teemed the most perfect of all, being
the arithmetical mean between one and
seven. Omar, the second caliph, said
-Four things come not back-the
spoken word, the sped arrow, the past
life, the neglected opportunity" In
nature there are four seasons and the
four points Of the compass.
Forty, a multiple Of four by ten. is
one Of the sacred numbers. The pro
baton Of our first parents in the gar
den of Eden is supposed to have been
forty years. The rain fell at the deluge
forty days and nights. and the water
remained on the earth forty days
The days of embalming the dead were
forty. Solomon's temple was forty
cubits long. In it were ten LAYERS
each four cubits long and containing
forty baths.
Moses was forty years old when he
fed into the land of indian, where be
dwelt forty years. He was on Mount
Sinai forty days and forty nights. Tho
Israelites wandered in the wilderness
forty years. The Saviour tasted forty
days and nights before entering upon
public life The same time elapsed be
tween the resurrection and the ascen

Lord Salisbury's Joke.

Count Miyatovich. former Servian
minister, told in London the story Of a
meeting he once had with the late
Lord Salisbury. He was brilliant
man and great statesman he said
"a little cynical. he never lost an op,
portunity of having laugh at ones
expense. but in his laugh there was
never a trace Of any malice. In the
interview recounted my nations his
tory, when he seemed a little bored
At the end Lord Salisbury dryly re-
marked: 1 thank you, minister. Now
l know what l did not know before
that you have brilliant history. But,
my dear friend, it would have been
much better for the Serbs if you had a
less brilliant history and port on the

CETTA VECCHiA.
MaIta's Ancient Capital Constant Re-
ninder of ST. Paul.


The place where Publius, the chief
man Of Malta in st. Paul's day, lived
is thought to be Citta Necchia, the an
cient capital 1t lies near the center
of the island, about midway between
Valetta and st. Paurs bay, and is con
nected with Valetta by railroad.
Here every turn reminds US OF st.
Paul. The principal square is called
Piazza San Paolo, and here we find d
fine cathedral, which is said to be built
on the very site of tnu -ouse of Pub
lius. Entering the cathedral. we see
a great image of st. Paul, covered with
a silver cloth. Il reminder by contrast
perhaps of how little of that precious
metal he was possessed Of in his life
time.
In a nearby suburb of Citta Vecchia
is another church dedicated to st
Paul and named for him, which the
inhabitants devoutly believe is built
over the very grotto in which he lived
during his three months on the island
and the catacombs Of the grotto are
also called after his name.
One striking monument to the apos
tie reminds every passing traveller OF
this wonderful story. In the bay OF
st. Paul is a tiny island called Selmun
and on this island is a towering statue
of the apostle, which can be seen from
far. a fit emblem Of the colossal char
acter which in all the ages since has
so Influenced and blessed the world
