BRE I I1OUR, FIRE AIIB STOCK Armed Europe. For about ten months previous to th€ middle of July much hope had been felt that the greatest of military empires woulc soon seek to bring.abaut European .disarma- ment, Such was the prospect arising from the late German "Reichstag's determined opposi- tion of the New Army bilL Itspassage was clearly necessary if Germany were still tc be stronger than France in number of soldiers ; therefore its rejection by the elec tors would have indicated that they desireo to end the Imperial policy of preserving peace by showing a German army too strong to be dared. But the Emperor William dissolved the Reichstag, and appealed to the electors.. They gave him a new Reichstag, which. accepted the revised Army bill, and promptly passed it by a small majority. This bill does not immediately increase the army so much as the Emperor originally demanded ; but it gives him fifty thousand more soldiers this year, seventy thousand more in all after three years, and will ultmately raise the strength of the standing forces and reserves to over four million four hundred thousand trained men. In short; Germany is about to organize her utmost numerical military strength, and every other European nation will doubt- lessfeel compelled to follow the same course as far as possible. France long ago adopted the policy of training all her able-bodied men—a policy that the great wealth of her people enables her to pursue . in pewee with comparative ease. Russia has added ninty-four, thousand, men to her standing army. since 1889, and her policy has long been to keep afoot every man for whom her treasury could buy gun and uniform. Austria -Hungary's strength in number of soldiers is far from fully developed, but her finances are strained by her army, and will, of course, be more severely strained by the new rivalry. A generation ago the Italians believed that United Italy would be Peace, Indus- try, Wealth and Happiness. They now stagger under a burden of horse, foot; artil- Iery, and ships almost greater than they can sustain. - Rich, --.and delivered greatly by their isl- and situation from fear of invasion, the British are not much crushed by the cost of their small though expensive ariniy, but they have long been putting warships afloat almost as fast as their shipbuilders could get them, ready. - All the smaller nations follow, so far as - they can, the, example of the greater. Greece, and the new lialkan States especi- ally, totter under their array ; Turkey has gone into decrepitude with the strain, and Switzerland, apparently so secure in her mountains, has felt more panopolyneces- sary to safety. So now all Europe is in final training as if for the battle of Armageddon,and the height of civilization is a spectacle of warlike prep- aration such as the world never saw be- fore.. The one considerable hope of states- men is alleged to be that ,a general war may not result from all this readiness, simply beeauso war is now too dangerous foray nation's risk. Yet England, Russia and France are quickly creeping toward collision in Asia; the situation of Turkey is ever to peace ; Austria-Hungary,by Francis J oseph's death,. M94-7 fall into confusion with the adjacent powers variously backing the fighting ele- ments ; and who knows when Germany's retention of Alsace-Lorraine may tempt the French to fling g toward the Rhine that army' which is now called the most efficient in the world. _ ED SSIAN RUMOURS'.

According to his own confession the prisoner has plied his vocation, that of mail thief, in every country in Furope, as well as in the United States. The Russian police have for a long time been foiled -by the man, and had nearly given up in despair the attempt to find out how the lately numerous mail robberies had been perpetrated. The cap- ture was effected as follows :-When the Kieff mail train came into the . station Vorozhba a few days_ ago, the mail a' d baggage car was opened in order to take out the local mail pouches. To the con- sternation of the offleials, the bag had been cut open and robbed , of its contents. A hasty, examination showed that many :;lithe other:trunks had also been rifled. Although the shatter seemed a mystery for some time, the baggage -master bethought him of a cer- tain large trunk which had- been taken off at the preceding station. He reported his suspicions to the police, and they, by work- ing up on this slender clue, soon arrested the thief. He confessed that it was his method to get himself locked into his trunk, which he could open from the inside, and, after robbing the baggage and mails, to store the booty inside,: drop out from the car at the first opportunity, and,afterwards claim the trunk at the station to which it had been sent. , Two physicians were recently walking to- gether in Hyde Park, when one of them lifted his hat to a lady whom they met. " A patient ?" asked the -other. " Oh, in no way,"answered the first doc- tor. " I treated her the other day for a small difficulty." • " What was it ?" "A wart on the nose." " And what did you prescribe ?" 'I ordered her to refrain absolutely from playing the piano." The other doctor: was astonished..- f ° Ordered her 'to leave off playing the piano for -'a wart on the nose ! Well, I don't understand your treatment." The Orioffski Viestnik tells the weird story of a gigantic tiger which has recently caused great .damage in the Bolchovsk country, and has spread consternation among the peasants by devouring several of them, male and-€emale, without discrimina- tion. Where -the brute came from is a mystery, since the climate of the Province of Orel is not at all one favourable for the breeding of. tigers. The animal first made his presence known by eating up a' young boy; 'Prokofi Suchatchey, who had been sent a little distance from the village on an er- rand. • All they found of him four days layer was a pair of boots , and several: half- crunched bones. Following the first victim came in rapid suecession an old woman, a young matron with her chili and, finally, a peasant who was driving home a cow. Both went to satiate the hunger of the tiger. On the 24th et, July the. Governor-General of the province despatched :forty soldiers and four officers to hunt down -the terrible monster. At last accounts therewere only sthirty+nine, soldiers left, for one of them had incautiously wandered away from camp, and had fallen prey to the animal he had mime to hunt. Brass pins- were first made in 1543, and weighed about an eighth of- a pound each. Now England, France and Germany manu- ERE ALRE -you- MOVING '®uMOVING TO ?
