Inc French cost is thus figured up from
the monthly reports of the Journal Oficiel:
Monthly. Rate per 6 mo.
August $537 100000 So, $50. 900 900
September =. 165,50O,OOO 1,OOO,OOO,OOO
October 80. 17S,OOOOOO 1,O5O,OOO,OOO
Russla's minister of finance has estimat-
ed war expenditure of 1892, $780, OOup to
Oct. Ii. Germany's rate of outlay is ar
rived at from the fact that the August
vote of $1,25OOOOOOO war credit, and the
$81 100000 gold and silver in the Spandau
Castle, presumably financed the war dur
ing four months, or up to Dec. 2, when
further $1,250OOOOOO war credit was
voted by the Reichstag.
The Economist points out that ''the rate
of expenditure is beyond all comparison
greater than that of any war on record"
The Napoleonic wars cost England 81, 1885,
100000, spread over twenty years; the
Crimean war, 1897, 100000 spread over
three years; the Boer war, 81, 055, 900, 900,
spread over four years.

COLD FACTS

Exports from the United States the first
four months of the war were smaller by
a quarter Of billion dollars than in the
preceding year.
In normal times sixty per cent Of our
exports go to Europe.
This country's best customers are bank
rupting themselves.
British exports in November were small
er than those of 1913 by one hundred mil
lion dollars-a cut Of almost one-half.
What is true Of Britain no doubt holds
good among the other nations in relative
degree.
Can prosperity be built up on these
figures?

sharp grit has to be supplied for this
mastication process. The grain is run
through this in the gizzard the same as
corn, or wheat is run through MILL or
coffee through coffee mill When hen

up gravel for this purpose. But when in

be kept always before the fowls from

A hen is carnivorous also. She wants
flesh and plenty of it. In the field she
gets it in the worms and bugs. In the
house it can be supplied from the feed
store in the prepared beef scraps. Fresh
green bone is still better If one can get it.

Sad memory brings the light Or other days around me. When remember all The friends so linked together. I've seen around me fall, Like leaves in vvfntry weather
 I feel Ike one
 Who treads alone Some banquet hall deserted, Whose lights are fled, Whose garlands dead And all but he departed. Thus in the stil1y night, Ere slumber's chain has bound me Sad memory brings the light Of other days around me.
