A MILLION MEN
 ARE DOOMED TO DIE

AMSTERDAM, Mar. 3.--Colonel Verschoot, a retired officer of the Dutch who returned today from an extended tour of Europe. gave express sion to the opinion that if the pres ent plans of the belligerent nations are carried out at least a million men must die this year and many more millions be maimed. He declared he was not betraying the confidence re- posed in him during his visit to diff ferent countries now at war in oppo- sition to each other if he states that both sides are now preparing for the most gigantic offensive of this or any other war in history. The German army is in greater numbers and strength. he says, than at any time since August. 1914, and all the other powers of the Central alliance have recruited their forces and equipped to the full. He says the same is true of France and Russia and he looks for the opening thunder of the trc- mendOuS crash within very few
 weeks when the climatic conditions permit. He further believes that dur ing the Winter lull new instruments of death have been devised that will

QUEENSLAND SAVAGES.
Some Curious Customs of . Race That
 Will Soon Be Extinct.

'
 Will Soon Be Extinct.
 The aborigines of Queensland are fast fading away, and in view of the fact that this race will soon be extinct m examination of their social customs is interesting.
 The death bone or bone apparatus. with its supposed property of produc- ing death. is one of the most dreaded and universal superstitiOns among the natives of the Queensland interior The apparatus consists of a pointc' connected by string with an elongated cylindrical receptacle. The pointer three to five inches long, Is made from a human forearm bone, the string Is made from human hair, and the recep- tacle, which incloses the victims life blood. is fashioned from shin bone The medicine man" of the tribe uses the weapon by aiming the pointer at the person selected for punishment.
 One of the most curious of the abO- riginal weapons is the "whirler," or ''bull rOarer." It is made of a flat tened piece of gidyea timber cut into spindle shape. into one extremity of which hole is drilled with sharp aned emu bone. By means of the aper ture this whirler is attached to piece of string fixed at the end of small stick. Revolving rapidly. the whirler gives out roaring Sound.-LOndon Telegraph.

We have noted methods of cooking venison. but how should 1t be pro nOunced-as a two or a three syllable word? Most of us pronounce it as if spelled with 'Z" and, as it is derived from the French venaisOn. this is as it should be. Shakespeare, it is true, treated it as trisyllable and apparent ly regarded the "s'' as hard. for in AS You Like It" the duke asks. "Shall we go kill us venisOn?' But his contemporary, Chapmarfsmadeb but two syllables of it and. that there might be no doubt as to the pronunciation he favored, even spelled it phonetically. thus-venzon.-Londo Chronicle.

RELIGIOUS WARS IN EUROPE.
The Thirty Ysars Conflict and the
 Peace of Westphaiia.

Peace of WestphaIia.
 Osnabruck is one of the most vener- able towns of Prussia. In the closing years of the eighth century Charle- magne designated 1t as the capital of a bishopric, a distinction which it en- joyed without interruption for more than a thousand years. In 1903 the sec was suppressed, the last bishop being Frederick. duke of York, son of the English Hanoverian monarch. George III. In 1858 the city was restored to it's religious eminence when it was again made the seat of Roman Cath olic bishop.
 It is on account of her share in the preliminary negotiations which led to the epochal peace of Westphalia that Osnabruck is famous in history. In 1644, after all central Europe had been devastated by the great struggle which eventually became known as the Thirty Years war, representatives of Sweden. the German empire and Ger man Protestants met here. while in the neighboring city of Munster. thirty miles to the southwest, delegates from France. Spain. the German Catholics and the German empire gathered.
 The negotiations extended over a pc riod of four years. In October. 1G4S. both groups of conferees having ar rived at common basis of settlement. the Osnabruck diplomats repaired to Munster, where a few days later the peace was signed which guaranteed the sovereignty and independence of the several states of the empire anG which forbade religious persecution throughout Germany. It was this peace, in which Osnabruck played such vital part. that put an end to reli- gious wars in Europe
 As early as SSS' Osnabruck was granted the right to establish it's own mint, but it was not until the fifteenth century that the city reached the crest of is mediaeval prosperity. Following the decline which was necessarily incl dental to the ravages of the Thirty Years war, it enjoyed a second era of growth.
 The two most impressive architec- tural piles in Osnabruck are the spa cious cathedral, dating back to the twelfth century and representing a combination of the Romanesque and Transitional styles, and the royal pal ace, built in 1662-75.-National Geo. graphic Society Bulletin.

Pigskin's value for a number of pur-
poses is well recognized. And it Is
employed to limited extent, but not
as O staple leather. Shoe manufac-
turers, however, are said to be seeking
ways to utilize it in their business, and
doubtless they would employ great
quantities of it in place of cOwhide and
calfskin, but for it's scarcity.
That swine could be made q poten-
tial supply of leather is indicated by
the United States department of agri-
cultures estimate that there are up
wards of 100000 of these animals
on American farms today. Yet the
output of pigskin leather is negligible.
Federal statistics show that at only
seven of the principal stock yards Of
the country last year more than o.
100000 hogs were marketed. Yet all
of that pigskin was wasted.

In day or two the bride, accompan-
