"I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
in my family for thirty years and have
always found it the best remedy for
croup, to which complaint my children
have been subject,"—Capt. U. Carley,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
"From an experience of over thirty
' years in the sale of proprietary medi-
cines, I feel justified in reconunending
Ayer's Cheery Pectoral. One of the
best recommendations/ of the Pectoral is
the enduring qualitaabf its popularity, it
being raore saint& now than it was
twenty-ilve years ago, when its great
success was considered marvelous."—
R. S. Drake, M. D., Beliot, Rana.
"My little sister, four years of age,
was SO ill from bronchitis that we had
almost given up hope of her recovery.
Our family physician, a skilful man and,
ig large experience, pronounced it use-
less to give her any more medicine;
saying that he had done all it was pose
sable to do; and we must prepare for the
Work. AS a last resort, we determined
to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and I can
truly say, with the most happy results.
After taking a few doses she seemed to
breathe easier, and, within a week, was
out of danger.' We continued giving the
Pectoral until satisfied she was entirely
•well. This has given me unbounded faith
in the preparation, and T recommend. it
vonfidently to my customers."—C. 0.

TIIE MATIIRMATIOS OF WAR.
T'WELVZ HUNDRED MILLION BE-
INGS HAVE BEEN KILLED.
The st an Sacrifice fu Thirty Centuries—
As Great as the reputation. of the Earth
New.
Can human, folly, regarded from some
special point of view, be considered a sub-
ject for soil:a:tide observation? We do net
hesitate to answer in the affirmative, al-
though up to the present time it has never
been classified, and although it ferins a
whole too vast aud too complex to belong
to any special genus or determined category.
Its magnitude and universality have doubt-
less kept it outside of positive studies, prop-
erly so called. Even now we do not pre-
tend to treat the immense subject in its full
extenb, but simply wish to examine ono of
its /nest interesting and serious phases, the
military system of the fourteen hundred.
million human beings who people this
planet.
How many men are destroyed by war in
a century? Official reports and documents
enable us to calculate the number of sol-
diers who have been killed or have died
during modern wars. We know that dur-
ing the unaceouutable Franco-German war
Of 1870-71, 250,000 men were slain on the
two sides,• that during the useless Crimean
war of 1854-55, 785,)0O were slain; that
during the short Italian war of 1859, 63,000
men fell on the field of battle or died in
hoepitals; that the game of chess between
Prussia and Austria in 1866 deprived
46,000 individuals of life; that in the Unit-
ed States the strife between the North and
South caused the death of 450,000 men in
1860-64; we know also that the ware of
TUE FIRST Bunn
poured out the blood of five million Euro -
peens, and that France has taken up arms
twenty times since 1815. On adding the
number of victims of war during the last
century a total of 19,840,900 is reached in
the civilized countries of Europe and in the
United Stetes.
Commencing with the Trojan war, the
case has been the same in all ages of history.
Certain remarkable battles, fought hand to
hand with knife or club, have had the room.
orable honor of leaving as many as two
hundred thousand men dead on the field;
an examples we cite the defeat of the Cina-
brians and Tuetons by Marius, and the at
exploits of _Attila, Itighteen to twenty mil-
lion inen are killed every century in Europe
by the enlightened institution of war. If
these men, averaging thirty yeare of age,
should join hands they would form s line
4,500 leagues long, crossing all Europe and,
Asia.
The nations ot the extreme Orient (the
Chinese and their neighbors) form a second
human consolidation, and shod about the
same quantity of blood. Gengis Khan and
Tamerlane marked their routes with pyra-
mids of severed heads. Barbarous nations
also are engaged in combats, seldom killing
fewer than four to five million beings in a
century, The total number destroyed every
century in political, religious or iuternation-
al wars is at least forty millions.
General statistics prove that, since the
Trojan war 3,000 years ago, not a single
year has elapsed in which some war has not
killed its proportionate number. During
the thirty centuries which have elapsed
since the beginning of Asiatic and European
history, a loss of 40,000,000a century makes
the total number destroyed by war to be
1,200,000,0110. a number very nearly rep-
resenting the total population of the globe
at the present day.
Twelve hundred millions

It is day, and the sun sheds its light and
hear upon the whole world. The country
is green, the cities full of life, and the vil-
lages surrounded with leborers. Millions
of inen are living, acting, and producing.
Life unfolds its joyous and divine radiance
on the surface of the globe.
But behold tho aun, gone to rest I Be-
hold, black night and melancholy silence !
Funereal Death decends from sombre
heights, holding in his hand a scythe of
steel, He peens liko a bird of night whose
flight
MAKES MTH SDUDDER.,
extends his hand to the four cerdinai points,
traverses shadowy space and disappears in
the deptha ; this gesture has arrested
humanity in its course ; this passage of the
necrophore has sent all human beings to
their last sleep; to -morrow morning none
of us will waken ,• the sun will shine upon
a laud of the dead. Not a single human
being remains to look -upon the scene.
Paris, London, New York, St. Petersburg,
Vienna, Berlin, and Rome are suddenly ex-
tinguished. Streets are deserted, dwelliegs
filled with the dead ; cities and villages
are eemeteries.
Silence, seated on the ruins of the globe,
sleeps in the midst of the vast field of the
dead, in the midst of this prostrated army
of 1,200,000,000 corpses.
The immense cemetery of all mankind,
seen at one view, is the real measure of the
victims destroyed by war from the histori-
cal beginning of nations down to the year
of grace in which we live.
The sword is ceaselessly drawing blood
from hutnan veins. Eighteen million cubic
meters have been shed.
In summer at Paris the Seine delivers to
two parts of the bridge Pont -Neuf about a
hundred cubie meters of water every sec-
ond, moving with a force of 3,500 horse
power. Every hour 360,030 cubic meters
of water pass under the arches of the bridge,
or 8,640,000 cubic meters in a day. Imagine
the river to be human blood instead of
water, for if the blood shed in all wars was
put intothe basin between the quays it would
form such a river, and we would have to
remain standing on the parapet fitty hours
to see it flow away.
That quantity of blood weighs 18,900,-
000,000 kilograms. It is an unfailing stream,
which every hour since history began has
unceasingly poured 680 litres of blood to
dye the royal purple worn by the occupants
of imperial thrones.
If the 1,200,000,000 skeletons should rise
and climb one upon another the ladder thus
formed would reach the moon, coil about
that body and, continuing onward, would
mount infinite space four times as far again,
that is, 500,700 leagaes in height. The
corpses, if thrown into the channel at Calais,
'would form a bridge betvv.een France and
England and separate the mean from the
North Sea by a weir. If only the heads of
the Men slaughtered in war• were taken and
placed side by side, a band would be formed
reaching six times around the world.
War is, not only an unnecessary scourge,
but is more injurious than all others, for it
never comes alone; sickness, ruin, and
famine always follow in its path. .
A great amount of money is necessary in
order to kill in proper manner, tor each man
slain costs about 57,000. The increasing
and multiplying texes of all nations are never
sufficient to pay for the butchery of liuman
troops. Every year Europe Spends more
than a billion, two hundred million dollars
in shedding
laza Ontennett'e BLOOD t
and France speuds four hundred thousend
dollarevery day. The war in America did,
not cost lese than six teen billion dollars, From
the Crimean war down to that of 1870-71,
the civilized nations of Europe and America
spent in destroying one euother$10,000,000,-
000 of the ordinary budget and more than
511,000,000,000 raised expressly for the
purpose, making a total of $21,000,000,000,
The wars of the last hundred years have
coat 5140,000,000,000, without counting the
sorrow, the loss of men, and other results.
For a part only of this bibulous sum all
the children might letve been brought up
and educated gratuitously; all lines of rail-
ways might have been built; provision
might have been made for the attempts to
realizS aerial navigation ; cestoms, town
dues, mud all obstacles to freedom of trade
might have been suppressed; all destitution
might have been removed except that caused
by idleness and infirmity.
Can the armies of the world be abolished?
It is impossible.
A mechanic has calculated the cost of
making wooden soldiers of natural size and
good condition. As, after all, the victims
of to -day are only an affair of number,
money, and stratagem, he has decided that
all the armies could be reproduced for 6,-
000,000 francs, or 51,200,000,000 a year
(soldiers in fir, under officers in oak, officers
in rosewood, captains in mahogany, colonels
in cedar, and generals in ivory), and they
could be drilled by steam power, the artil-
lery being included in the calculation. The
leaders of the two nations at war and their
staff officers would aoudad the strategy at
their risk and peril. The victory would bos
long, as heretofore, to him who by his atilt
should succeed in checkmating his adversary
and in destroying the greatest ntunber of
comi
combatants. That mprovement on ordinary
armies would litive the advantage of leaving
the husbancinian to Ms field, the workman
in his factory, and the atudent to studies,
and would promote public prosperity and
happiness.
That may answer as advice to future
ministers of war when men, having finally
reached the ago of reason, shall refuse to
fight. Bet for centuries Ministers and
Generals can rest upon their laurels.
Thoughts of Brides.
"For instance, what were you all think-
ing of when you were being married?"
Every one laughed and said in a breath,
"Why, being married, of course 1"
" Nonaense, ' said the newspaper woman,
"that idea was in your mind, no doubt, but
it was the undercurrent of thought. You
were thinking really of something else. Con-
fess, now."
"Well," said one of the liateners, thought-
" perhaps that is true. Now that I
stop to consider it, I was thinking of some-
thing else, You see, I was married at home
and in the evening. Just as the minister
commenced the service a lamp -shade on a
smell table near me cracked.
I turned involuntarily to my sister, who
Was standing near me, and was about to
whisper her to turn the lamp down, when it
suddenly occurred to me that I was the
cynosure of all eyes—that it was really my
own wedding. 01 course I reframed from
speech, but it was with difficulty that I re-
frained from laughter at the blunder I came
so near making.'
" Well, I remember distinctly what I was
thinking about," amiit the intellectual wo-
man on tho sofa. "1 had t, now pale of eye-
glasses on, and the apring hurt my noso. I
was wishing the minister would hurry up so
I could go up stairs and change them.'
" And. I," put in the third, " was con-
gratulating myself all through the ceremony
on my wonderful composure. I knew that
he was frightened to death, and I was
thinking what larks it would be to tease
him about it all the rest of his life, when
suddenly, as I hold out my hand for the
ring, I happened to glance at it and found
that it was trembling like a leaf.
" That sight 'phased' me so that all else
is a blank, save my own desire to hide my
hands, I had a mad impulse to conceal
them in the folds of my veil, but I don't
think I did.
"At least, no ono ever told me so. I my-
self would hate to take my oath that I did
nob,"
rt,,t was a sermon of Sam Small's that
was diverting my mind at my wedding,"
said the woman in the corner. "1 don't
know that anything could have been more
incongruous at such a time than ono of Sam
Small's sermons, but I had heard him
preach a month or so before, and just as I
was coming down stairs something, I shall
never know what, put me in mind of one of
Ms grotesque illustrations.
"He compared the gospel to a spring
board. Just where he found the resem-
blance I can't remember. That was what
troubled me then. I couldn't remember,
and I was trying to figure it out all through
tho service. I nearly missed one of the re-
sponses, I was so intent upon the idea.
"Everybody accounted for,' said the
newspaper woman, "save myself, who am
not married, and Mrs. Blank. What were
you thinking of, Mrs. B. ?
The little woman blushed furiously, hes-
itated, and finally said : "11 you promise
never to tell, I'll tell you. You see, I was
married in the days when people were enor-
mous bustles. Well, in the confusion and
hurly-burly of dressing, my bustle got lost,
and couldn't be found. It was growhig
late, and what was to be done? No one
knew. I could not wear my dress without
it, for it looked dreadfully.
"Finally one of my bridesmaids a girl of
expedients, graboed up a handful of bath
towels, tied a ribbon around them, and
fastened that around my waist. I didn't
thirk very much about it unt'l I was stand-
ing at the altar, and then the horrible
thought flashed across me, what if I should
lose some of those Manchester bath towels,
best -quality, in the aisle.
" I eearly fainted. away, and I assure you.
every step of that solemn procession down
from the altar was solemn indeed, to me. I
proceeded' very gingerly. Please don't
tell, though, for people will tease me."
And they all promised, but the newspaper
woman told.

To a civilized Man there is only oae
pleasure which is greater than his first night
in camp, and that is his first night out of it,
when he has a bath and a good bed with
fresh sheets. This is enough to establish
the fact that it is only by coetra.sts that
the salient points of things axe developed.
If a man has a good home and a good bed,
and a furnace to keep the house at a proper
temperature at all times, he ought to be
happy. Add to that a good cook and it
happy family, and he should desire tu stay
in that place and enjoy it. Even if he wants
a change and a rest, he could find places
equally comfortable anal easy of twos ; but
there are mon who get up from the break-
fast table and say to their wives: "Now, I
can't stand this sort of thing any longer."
and the good little woman knows that the
spell is on him. He goes off upstairs and
gete out a trunk, and then Irons the depths
of a far-off closet he hauls down some dis-
reputable old clothes and lugs out a gun add
a lot of rods and fly cases and ammunition
and lays them tenderly in the bottom of the
trunk. He gets "a shocking bad hat" and
a. pipe which madam will not allow in the
settled part of the house and strange Cases
made of canvas which carry the charms
and fetiehes of the sportsmae. These he
places in the trunk. He then overhauls his
"kit," He sticks fly hooks" up in rows
bathe pillow -shams if Madam is not looking.
He puts tallow -covered cartridges on the
lace bed cover and then carefully lays
a heavy pair of very greasy and
dirty cowhide shoos on his wife's meet
choice piece of upholstered furniture, In
the midst of this in walks the lady of the
house, the partner of his joys and sorrows.
In this case the joya and sorrows do not mix.
Madam says "Now, Jack—I think it is
awful for you to -put those nasty old things
on my bed—you have no consideration, etc,,
eta.," and poor Jack transfers them all to
the floor, while off flouncee the lady to tell
the maid that she moat "go through that
room, thoroughly, as Mr. B --has been
packing his nasty old traps and has neerly
ruined everything."
Jack is ready and is driven off to the
station, where he bids Madam "good-bye"
and is rolled away, happy in the knowledge
thatt in a few days he will be sleeping on it
bush -heap with rude men and surrounded
by mosquitoes and smoke, with tough, soapy
bread and bleck coffee for food,
Madam explains to a lady friend that
"Mr, B. is such a curious man—he goes oir
up there and lives like a wild beast—I do
not understand it."
To develop your real sportsman the en-
vironment must be favorable at a very early
age. If he is favorably situated he
becomes possessed of an unbounded enthus-
iasm and more tools of the sporting craft
than has a dentist in his. A great many
people are now growing up whose tendencies
are an illegitimate cross between an English
battue and an American aunimer hotel—
they are a sort of " arrested development"
between true hunter e and fishermen and
people who are not financially able to buy it
country place. All such are spurious and
not to be considered seriously. The genuine
lover of the woods did not gather his
theories of how to be happy from " shoot-
ing on his estate," or proceeding against
tigers with the entire organized population
of an eastern principality, or from dilettau-
te literature on how to do the thing so that
"it will stand wash."
He first passed his boyhood in it country
where the squirrels were pretty thick and
the trout would bite and the old gentlemen
wore never ceasing in telling how they
killed "the biggest buck I over sot my eyes
onto." He then tried the southern arms of
the big lakes until they became infested
with women and summer hotels, Then he
tried Muskoka, but Muskoka got filled up
with persons who wore two peaks on their
hats and ato their dinner on a table, and
the guides became servants instead of
woodsmen. Than he discovered Quebec,
the Northwest and the Rocky Mountains,
and awny in the heart of their wilderness
you will find his "bark -lean-to" where the
timber grows the highest over the little
spring, and where the "dude has ceased
from troubling and the cigarette's at rest."
This sportsmau has got a moral mortgage
on a little pond somewhere away off up
somewhere, and he won't tell you where it
is because he don't wart you to find out.
You may not recognize this matt of the
woods in Toronto or Montreal because he
has trained himself to be as much like the
rest of humanity as possible in order that
he may make EiJittle erlimy, so that he can
go hunting once or tw ea. year and be his
own natural self for a space. When the
buds open and the grass shoots, and the
sunlight thaws out his mind, he will mani-
fest uneasiness and become unsettled. You
mu begin to detect him then. He won't
care about the frost and the peach crop, or
the candidates, or the anarchists, but will
be morbid and go on incoherently about
brown-hackels, No. 8 shot, and improved
Greener models, and other profitless sub-
jects.
Late in the season he gets down his
double-barrel and his rifle and begins to oil
them up. He takes out his pea -jacket and
his oil -fanned moccasins and his jaegers.
He is constantly writing letters to "Sam
Busheraf a Mountain Pine, Assinaboia, N.
W. T., or to "Pierre Antoine, Temiscam-
ingue," and receiving replies in brown or yel-
low envelopes signedwith his (x) mark. Why
he becomes so interested in these half savage
men in the waste places only he can uuder-
stand. This curious person does not want to
go with Madam to Cacouna or down by the
sea, begs off and goes up to conspire with
his friend, Dr. Swellkill, who is a henter
and old comrade. They go into the doctor's
private room and lock the door. Madam,
the doctor, becomes concerned and goes
over to see her friend, the wife of the first
man' and says "Your husband has been
withthe doctor a great deal of late, and I
am afraid that he will entice him away this
summer or fall, a.nd I did so want him to go
with me to Old Orchard Beach.
Well, you know I have no influence
with Mr. B. He insists on going off to these
strange places—he always has and I sigh to
think that he probably always will,',con-
doles the little woman. '
"1 am sure, then, that I can do nothing
with the doctor—he, too, will go—it is so
unfortunate to have such tastes."
From that time on the doctor's health
begips to fail. A brother physician recom-
mends the " woods," and while it is so un-
fortunate to be compelled to leave his pa-
tients, yet his health demands it, and one
fine morning the man and his friend, the
doetor, are missed front the haunts of men.
In a few days tbe trim, well groomed city
men are no longer recognizable. They sit
in the forward snd of the cenoes with a
stump beard and a bull -dog pipe dressed
in dirty, gr easy clothes, while behind the
pans, blankets, packs, and guns sits a
strange, dark-skinned, beetle-browed half-
breed, with scraggy hair and a bristling
beard. The canoes cleave the mirrored
waters while the yellow reflections mix
with the Vandyck shadows of the over -
banging forest in the lake, They are

It would be interesting to understand
this man so prone to these lapses of savagery.
We readily comprehend one who at times
becomes awfully drunk for days et a
time and calls it a nervous die -
ease and gives it a scientific name which
clears it of mystery. We know why the
man leaves his native city ha the heighta of
the businese and social seas= and deports
himself to the West Indies or Florida,,—his
brouchial tubes are on strike. We of course
see that another talies himself off to Eutope
but he goes tO cultivate his raind and to be
lazy and dissolute, but here is this man
whose business and social life called for his
attendance, whose health is offensively
rugged, and he does this strange thing. He
eats the worst imaginable food, all cooked
in a disgusting fashion, ha sleeps itt a sort
of kennel like a farmer's dog —lying on
brush and with the smoke blowing all
through and around him. Be freezes nearly
to perishing every morning—he goes to bed
wet to the hide,aud paddles up stiff currents
or toils under a sixty -pound pack all day,
and his only remon seems to be it desire to
stay.
You doubtless all know one of this sort of
men—ask him why? In all probability he
will fold himself in his robe of superiority
and simply pity your varnished ignorance
and will not deign to reply. Ile will consider
you hopeless, weak—laeking character and

does it go with him when the spell is on him

at least know why.—F.

I• Dast at 13ea.
The &Utah ship Berean, which rteseetly
made the voyage from Tesinanie around.
Cape Horn to Beglancl, enceantereti a ro.
markable but not unusual phenontanon at
ea vis,, to i f dust
After crossing tho equator she fell into
the northeast trade winds, and when about
, 600 miles west of Cape de Verdeislands,
• the nearest land, "the Berean's sa$1$ and
, rigging were thinly coated with a veey fine
powdery dust of a dark yellow or seffron
color, scarcely discernible on or near the
deck, but profuse on the highest parts of
the rigging," so that the sails annexed
"tanned."
Fine dust falling on vessels in the Atlan-
tic near the Cape de Verde archipelago has
often been reported, but it has so often been
of a reddish hue that it is known among
sailors as "red fog," and has been generally
supposed to come front South America,.
The observation on board the Beretta op -
pears to overthrow this conclusion, and to
determine the African origin both of the
Atlantic dust and the so-called "blood
rains" of Southern Europe.
Admiral Smyth many years ago reported,
during his stay in Sicily, March 14, 1814, a
"blood rain," which fell "in large, muddy
drops, and deposited a very minute sand of
a yellow -red color"—quite similar to that
now reported by the Berean.
He then regarded it as "sirocco dust' ,
from the African desert, "crowning the
beautiful theory of atmospheric circula-
tion." Both on the Atlantic ocean and, in
Europe these rains of dust have almost in-
variably fallen between January and April
— a period of the year in whieh the Sahara
is most arid.
Terrible Disaster on the Caspian Sea.
Particulars have only just reached St
Petersburg of a terrible disaster, involving
eat loss of life, which occurred on the
aspen Sea at the end of March. As early as
the 4th ult. a report was current at Baku,
and Was telegraphed abroad, that a steanter
had been wrecked while on a goyage to that
port, but in the absence of further advices
the rumour remained unconfirmed. No
doubt is now entertained, however, that
the vessel referred to was the steamer Alex-
ander Wolkow, which left one of the Per-
sian ports on the southern side of the Cas-
pian, with goods and passengers for Baku at
the end of March, and, has never since been
heard of. It is now practically certain that
she foundered with all on board during a
terrible storm which raged on march 29„
The precise number of lives loat has not
been ascertained, but 14 18 knosvu that some
two hundred Peraiaus had taken passage
for Baku, and all these were drowned, be-
sides the crew. The Alexander Wolkow
was formerly used as a river steamer, and is
stated to have been quite unsuitable for
traffic in etormy weather, being totally un-
provided with lifeboats. The vessel, more-
over, carried a heavy deck cargo, which it
is supposed must have shifted, thus causing '
the veasel to capsize. How the disaster
really occuared, however, cam never be
known, as every soul on board perished
