The total t-xiH-mliture on thf araiy,
out of taxes, la the year in the i-a of
the I'niU-d Kir.jnlom was last year,
aoconlinv to Sir Charles Dilke, li;.5(K),
0O0, says the London Saturtlay Koview.
and in Imlia the same or Jl:3,0H).000
(34,(M)0,0(0 in the prt-s nt year), bt-sides
the expenditure out of loans and that of
the self-roveming' colonies for the
armies of the l'.riti-nh empire. The col
onies altop-ether spt-nd for themselves
aW.ut 1. :(.. oO a year for urmv pur
poses, in addition to the contributions
made by come of thorn toward the im-K-rial
forces and toward marine de
fense. While the armies of the Hritbsh
empire co-t about it:w. Mjo.ihio a year,
the tieriu-tn empire cots about
0K and the French army a little over
i.iS.ooo.ooo.
Our armies cost tis, therefore, cwnsid
erul'ly more than theirs, but while each
of these powers would have ill the field
on the twenty-fir day of mobilization
over 2,000,000 of men, with between
:?.000 and 4,000 puns, and bhind this
vast force a lare gurrison and terri
torial armj- in reserve, we could alto
gether muster but S.0.000 men from all
the resources at our command. I!ut the
infrenious ISriton will retort that,
thoupfli our forces are small, they are of
exceptional quality; that one EnlLsh
man is equal to two Frenchmen; that
one volunteer is as pood as two pres.--d
men, and fco on uud so weiter, etc.
Not so.
The 2.000,000 active 5erman or French
troops, of whom we have just spoken,
are "pretty much the same all-through"
that is to say, they are of uniform
quality, even if it be granted that their
standard le not as hili as ours. Our
muster-roll, on the contrary, is built up
from the most heterogeneous sources,
w! the quality, when the training and
education of the soldier arc considered,
if in some cases lii,rh. is in others de
plorable. The total we arrive at is
made up of 170.00;) troops, excellent
though deficient in some particulars;
.'0,000 to ."".,000 first-class army reserve,
useful but not periodically drilled as i
the reserve of every continental army;
2.000 second-class army reserve, hardly
worth counting; li:s.oi0 militia, who
may be said to be without half their
oilicors; :.000 Channel iskuid militia:
about 1.000 .Malta and St. Helena militia;
1 1, 00i yeomanry; 'J-J-l.OiiO volunteers: 74,
( regulars in India (undoubtedly a
splendid force), tis.t00 pood native
troops in India: 50. 000 bad native troops
and 21.000 of what Sir Charles Dilke
terms -vxlds and ends.
I:i other words, the fijrures we can
produce include everything we can pos
sibly terra a soldier, from a fmardsman
to a native policeman. They include
some regiments of Indian infantry
which are -recognized even by tursclves
as worthless, and whom we from time
to time disband as such. They include
the St. Helena militia and the Voyal
Irish eonstabulurj-, who, however etli
cient in their own sphere, would proba
ble lie so occupied in it tltat they can
hardly- lx- available to fight a foreijmer.
Hut. more than this, not only is our
force thus variable and sometimes tin
satisfactory as repanls the ciuality of
its component parts, but it is siiifrularly
badly proportionetl as regards the arms
of which it is composed.
If there is one thinjr which rtvent ex
periments have established more than
another, ami upon which there is com
plete unanimity of opinion amoiir mili
tary men. it i this that motlern armies
should in future campaipiis lie remark
ably well furnished with Inith cavalry
and miillery; iu fur. try will be unable
to face ino-iern musketry unless they
are well su;iH.rted by (runs, and have
the way of their at tack: prepared for
them Ly uriii'ei lire. A v.:l.f
inirsenieii will s'-r.-otnl the ruovem-Tts of
a moilern :.nny frmn its opjvim nt. and
r.n army which has not a stronsr force
t i cavalry , liot'.i t- fain informati-n for
it rnd t. w.ird oil its op--onens si-outs,
will Ik.- at the mercy of a !ettcr-iufor:ned
an onist.
It will lieither 1e aUo to see nor re
main vnwen. Yet bow do we find th:il
;r.r attenuated levies are furnished witl
these necessary adjuncts? Contempt!
My so. it seems, as rcfrr.rds artiliery
Vii hare but a nominal Oi'O f-nns ail told
njrainst 2.000 to 4.000 belon-rinr to th
powers thi-.t may oppose us. and o:
these we cosld not place above 320 ir.
the tiehl.
"S'ot only have we an absurdly small
numlK-r of batteries, but we propose on
an outbreak of hostilities to reduce
them by fourteen in order to male up
ammunition columns! That is to say,
wo orjri-nize, equip and educate a scien
tific body of men in order that they may
on the outbreak of hostilities be equal
to the duties which l'ickford". or Carter
I'aterson's draymen daily perform in

last added to their artillery almost as
many funs as we have in the wliyle
world, and Kouniauut and Sw itzerland
can each of thcia put in the field about
as many -runs as can the Itritish empire.
"or when we come to analyze our cav
alry returns are matters more reassur
ing. We have only 12.000 horse to
mount 10.000 troopers both in India and
at boroc together.

THE BLAND DOLLAR.
Kontin About tue Head of IJuerty oa
TliU C'win.
Tlicre was a curious story about the
head of Libtrty, says the Illustrated
Ami-rican. un the obverse of the Bland
dollar. This is kuid to bo modeled from
the head of Mis. Anna W. Villi:im-s
nx' instructor of philosojjhy and meth
ods of kintkTurtcB training at the
tJirls' normal school in Philadelphia. At
the time tlie Bland dollar made its first
appearance, the secret leaked out some
how, and to avoid the notoriety the
most indefatigable efforts were made
to deny the fact, and even to this day it
is difficult to gvt any of Miss Williams'
friends who ore in the secret to admit
it. Her name wt-jit broadcast over the
land, however, and from almost every
iuartcr of the lobe fche was delugvd
with the most pressing and flattcrinff
offers of marriare. Mis Williams was
a student of the Academy of Fine Arts
when Enjrraver t.eorpe Mtwtran. who
made the pattern from wliich the dol
lar was copied, was easting1 about for a
model. Some ladies amonfr the students
at the academy were selected to pose.
The contour of M iss Williams' features
was chosen as coming nearest to the
pure Crecian ideal, lief ore the pattern
was finally adopted it was sent to tlie
academy to pvt the opinion of some
artists as to its artistic merits. Tho
profile was criticised in several particu
lar, chief amonr which was what was
rejrarded as a too prominent chin. But
the authorities at the mint thoupht it
one of tlie most lieantifnl types of face
that was ever submitted for the head ol
a coin, and it was adopted. As to it?
stronp resemblance to the original,
those who see Miss Williams oftenes!
are lcst able to testify. It is considered
a ffod lilc.-ness, but drawn somewhat
liner than the liviiip; moleL Mr. Mor
gan, by the way, is e.n Enp-lishiri-iii. and
s)ine jk'ojJ i.uLst that he h:is 1.1 :r:i-''d
Uj decljre his ori;rn in the jll:i.r" tlol
lar. By holding the coin with the date
uppermost, and covering the figure on a
line across the eye to the hair, the pro
file develops a likeness of King eor;re,
tlie chin being his nose. Holding the
coin in the same position and covering
the medallion on a line from the chin
to tho base of the cap. the curl of the
hair develops a lion with its nose facing
left.
THE CHARMS OF MUSIC.
One Caww iu Whirl. It Soothed Two Sav
agp It re-ant .
Ilu'band and wife had en quarrel
liny, says a Columbus p;sper. Thw trouble
bo, ran in tli' house. Iut the ln-Uigeri-iits
hsd reached IrH' sidewalk, where hostil
ities were resumed. She declared in the
heat of passion that she would not live
with him another hour. lie retorted
that it didn't make any difference, the
quicker tlie separation came the better
it would le fr both.
Tlie husband, ruising hw voice to a
high pitch, said:
"This ends all relations between us."
"Go," said the wife, "I do not care
now, for our home in only in name."
Suddenly there hurst upoa the nijrht
the atrainsof "Home, Sweet Home." It
was the music of an orchestra that had
just then lcgnn a serenade to a resident
near by. It seems that tlie company of
musicians had Wen inspired, for the
piece was never rendered any better
than it was that night.
The husband and wife ceased quarrel
ling, and Ixith stood as if rooted to the
spot. The effect upon them could le
seen at a glance. Both were weeping.
There was a brief but terrific struggle
between duty and pride.
The husband glanced at the wife in a
pitiful sort of way, and his look was re
turned. As the strains of the great song
were dying away, they rushed into eitca
other's arias. The love of former years
was then and there renewed.
OLD AND ODD.
A labi.e oak tree, claimed V be one
hundred and forty years old, has been
felled at Flint, Mich.
J. J. Westlake, of Wheeling, has in
his possession a land grant made ont
February C, li07, containing the signa
tures of Thomas Jefferson and James
Madison.
A REsrrEXT of Paw Paw. Mich., has
a receipt for a tax paid y his ancestry
in 14011, but he is willing to trade the
relic for a receipt for his own. dated
this year.
Rkv. Jonx Emot, missionary to the
Indians, wrote a letter in 1073, which
was sold at aurtion a few days ago for
five hundred dollars. At tlie same sale
a letter of Rev. Jonathan Edwards
brought only eleven dollars and a half.
William J. Mii.lkr, of Labon, N. J.,
lias a brais spectacle case over four
hundred years old. Tlie outside case
on top and bottom has a ten years'
calendar (from 147S to 147) engraved
thareon, with instructions in Dutch, the
figures, letters, etc.. In'ing quite legible.
Dr. F. L. IlAitnon. of Harrodsburg,
Ky., is the owner of what is believed to
be the first watch ver brought t the
state. It In-longed to tine of Dr. Har
rod's ancestors, who was the early com
panion of Daniel Boone, and is an open
faced silver 'bull's-eye," bearing the
date 1775.
LOVE PLAYED A PART.
Mary MoCxjks, of Erie, Pa., has the
record of having eloped seven times
from one husband.
A Yorxo man was tarred and feath
ered down in Mississippi the other day
because he married a quadroon girl.
A Genesee county (M ich.) young lady,
who was recently awarded Sl.SOO in a
breach of promise suit, has rewarded
her chief witness by lestowing her in
jured affections on him. The banns
have leen published.
Abraham Speck and his wife, of Mill
Creek, near Huntington. Pa., have been
married fifty years, and the husband
has taken stops for a separation. le
cause his wife and he disagree upon the
advisability of sanctioning their daugh
ter's choice of a husband.
At South Colchester, (hit., M. Brown,
aged eighty four, led to the altar Mrs.
Margaret Clickert, aged ninety-' ven.
The groom had buried frur wives and
the bride mourned the loss of five hus
bands. Her la.t husband died two
years ago, aged one hundred and twenty-four
years.
Carioaitlra of tho f'rnaus.
A curious fact in statist ios of popula
tion is the greater number of people
whose age is expressed in decimals of
ten. For instance, in the last census of
Rhode Island there were more than
twice as many people .SO years old as
there were 4'J. So, again, there have
been found in a certain area 3,000 col
ored people C9 years old, 1,200 71 and
and 19,000 70. The fact is a striking
illustration of the general fondness o
people for round numbers. A man who
is 59 or 61 years of age is quite apt to
call himself 60, and in a similar case a
woman will call herself 40 or 60.
Completed III Make-l'p.
An anecdote is poinp tlie ronnds in
Australia, says the Sheffield TelegTaph,
ejncerninpthe manner in which a well
known leading actor supplied the acci
dental absence of a necessary item of
'make-up." lie was playinj? Macbeth,
and when he came to the murder scene
he asked in vain for the blood with
which he had intended to imbrue his
hands. After abusing the property man
roundlj for bis neplect, the actor, struck
with a tiaipy thought, suddenly hit the
functionary on the nose, so that a pood
strpply of crimson fluid was obtained
and in this the actor bathed his palm.
