What the Effect of a European War
Would Be Upon This Country A.
Strain That Cannot. Be " . '
Ejong Sustained.
Harold Frederic, one of the shrewd
est American observers. across the seas, .
notes the estimate that there are one
hundred and thirty thousand more men
under arms in Europe than there were
last Christmas, and remarks: "It is
now the -universal expectation that
when the Christmas of 1894 comes
around it will , find an altered map.
This strain is . too heavy. Something'
must give way somewhere during1 the
coming year." v .
Predictions of a ! ffreat' 'impending
European war have been made confi
dently from time to time during the
last decade, says the Boston Traveller,
yet they have not been fulfilled, and
many will turn an incredulous ear to
Mr. Frederic, saying: "The outlook
has been as forbidding more than once
since the chief military powers began;
to swell their armaments to their pres
ent enormous size, and yet, . somehow,
peace has been preserved. Why, then,
is .there not reason to believe that 1894
will repeat the story of '1893 and its
immediate predecessors, and another
Christmas come with the sword still in
the scabbard?"
To those who thus appeal to the ex
perience of the nearer past it is unhap
pily easy to return an answer. This
answer may be summed up in Mr.
Frederic's words: "The strain is too
heavy. ' Something must ; give way
somewhere." For a long time now the
rival powers of Europe have been en
gaged in a contest which has been only
less exhausting to them than actual
warfare would have been. They. have
been putting forth prodigious exer
tions to overawe their respective rivals
with exhibitions of force, until, in
some instances, the burdens of taxa
tion under which they are groaning
have become intolerable. Italy, in
deed, has almost reached the verge of
bankruptcy; Russia, despite her vast
extent, is financially in no enviable
plight; while France, Germany and
Austria-Hungary, although much bet
ter able to cntinue the trial of endur
ance, keenly feel the effects of such
ruinous competition and know that it is
only a question of time when they will
be forced to reduce their military ex
penditures, or draw the. sword in the
hope of conquering a less troublesome
peace. . ,. - '
. It is .becoming more and more evi
dent, therefore, that a crisis in their
affairs is approaching, and one that
means upheaval. . The different na
tions referred to, conscious that even
partial disarmament will not be agreed
to, know that war is practically inev
itable. Not one, of them, perhaps,
feels fully -ready for war, yet they
doubt if they will ever be much readier
than now, and hence all are on the
alert that they may not be taken una
wares. We on this side bf the ooean do not
'view the fast-gathering European war
clouds with pleasure. An old world
conflict, would benefit us for the time
being by increasing the de.mand for
our products, but, in the long run, we
should suffer from it, and in ways that
need not be indicated. Yet, even if
such a conflict should .insure perma
nent benefits to us we should not re
joice to sec it break out. We know
what war means, .and having reason, if
ever a nation has had, t6 love peace,
we are full of sympathy for Mother
Europe in her trials, and would wish
that the blessings we enjoy might be
come her happy portion.
.ABOUT WILD BOARS.
Aa Inspected in a ' Zoolocical Garden the
AnlmalH Show Goocl "Points.
A wild boar is always pictured as a
ferocious beast, and hunters agree that
they would as soon meet a lion. But
young wild boars are far prettier. than
anj-one would suspect, says Golden
Days.
In their wild state, however, no one
has had an opportunity to inspect
them closely, and it is only in a zoo
logical garden that their, good points
can be appreciated." "
Their bodies are slim ana elegant,
their, snouts fine, their ears short and
their legs and feet almost as finely
shaped as those of a young antelope.
Their, color is a bright fawn or a
rich tan, with longitudinal stripes like
those of a tabby kitten; and, in place
of the thick bristles of the other pigs,
their bodies are covered with a long
and thick coat of rough hair.
Family life in the wild boars' quar
ters is harmonious and amusing. For
the first month the little orange-striped
pigs depend on their, mother for food,
and take no notice either of visitors or
of each other. - . " .
Each roams about by itself in a most
independent fashion, or drops.down to
sleep on its stomach, with its legs
stretched straight out before and be
hind like a kneeling elephant in min
iature. Later, when they have to be satis
fled with the " food provided in the
troughs, they become tbe most amus
ing and importunate beggars in the
zoo, the. old" cow and boar 'setting the
example, well supported by the little
pigs.
The whole family stand upright on
their hind legs in a row, with the'ir
fore f ee't against the rails, and squeak,
grunt and even climb the wire netting
or contributions. . ' -'
. Even if the floor is littered with de
licious hog-wash, they prefer to be fed
from the outside, and the yearning to
reach just one inch further than their
brothers seems to give an impulse to
the growth of their snouts, like those
of the parent swine.

A SOMBER CANADIAN LEGEND.
The Story or a Human Being Assuming
the Shame of a Wolf.
The werewolf legend constitutes one
of the most somber of the traditionary
beliefs existing -in French' Canada.'
The story of a human being assuming
a wolf's Bhape is certainly one of the
most generally diffused throughout the
world and the werewolf story comes
down to us from old Roman times. The
French Canadian believes that if a per
son does not partake of the sacrament
for seven years be will turn into a loup
garou a shapeless animal without
head or limbs; the loup-garou might
also appropriate the form of a wildcat,
a hare, a fox or even a black . hen, but
at night he was obliged to range
through woods and desert places. At
.dead of - night' .the loup-garou steals
from his bed; climbing the ' highest,
tree in the neighborhood, he hides in
its branches, and is instantly trans
formed into bestial shape. He is en
dowed with supernatural speed and
strength. A fierce creature, with ap
petites exaggerating those of the ani
mal he resembles, his especial delight
is in slaughtering and devouring little
children. When he returns to human
semblance he may be recognized by his
excessive leanness, wild . eyes and hag
gard countenance.- 'In order to regain
his estate of humanity it is necessary
that the blood of the monster should
be shed. This kindly office being per
formed by a friend a complete restora
tion results. In many parts of the
country cats of three colors were con
sidered lucky, therefore the fortunate
possessor of a puss mottled with black,
white and gray, should preserve the
animal carefully. When a Canadian
lumberman is sufficiently fortunate to
shoot a deer he wraps himself at night
in the skin, in order to keep off witch
es. The souls of the lost, or spirits in
purgatory, naturally occupied a prom
inent position in Canadian folklore.
The dead frequently returned to the
world; among., old-fashioned persons
there were few who had not held con
verse with a spirit or revenant. In
punishment for sin the dead were of ten
detained on the scene of their past mis
deeds. ,One dead person jcould not help
or relieve another; the wrong commit
ted on earth could only be righted' by
the intervention of a living being. The
evil spirits were unable to. cross the
blessed waters of the River . St. Lawr
rence without the help of a Christian.
These haunting spirits were numerous
and of various descriptions.
Ten days loss of time on account of
sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any
thing but pleasant for a man of a family
to contemplate, whether he is a laborer,
mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jas.
O. Jones, publisher of the Leader,
Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten
days with the grip daring its prevalence
a. year or two ago. Later in the season
he had a second attack. He says:. ''In
the latter case : I used Chamberlain's
(Cough Remedy with considersible snc-
cess, I think, only being in bed a little
i over two days. The second attack ! am
satisfied wonld have been equally as bad
as the first bat for the use of the remedy."
It should be borne in mind that the grip
is much tbe same as a very- severe cold
and requires precisely theNeame treat
ment. When you wish to cure a cold
quickly and effectually give this remedy
a trial. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale

JEWELS - HIDDEN .LONG AGO
Old-Fashioned Valuables Recently Voond
. in a Well in Mississippi.
What has been known for half a cen
tury as the old Freeland residence, six
miles from Jackson, Miss.,-was recent
ly torn down after having been a ruin
for many years, says a correspondent
of the Philadelphia. Times.' Beneath
it was discovered -what had been an
old curbed well,- and on clearing this
out there was brought up a small steel
casket containing several, articles of
old-fashioned jewelry. These num
bered among them a watch of the
style worn during the last part of the
last century and a comb such as was
affected by ladies of continental times.
These were set with large pearls,
which must have been ' valuable, but
which are ruined by the action of the
water. A tiara of small diamonds bore
the device of "D" in small German
characters, but-beyond this there is no
clew as to the owner of the jewels.
The family to whom the house . be
longed has long been extinct and the
place for some years until recently has
ben '. inhabited by negroes. Some of
the older citizens remember that this
mansion replaced another far hand
somer, which was destroyed by fire
and which was one of the oldest places
in the state. At the time of the war
the house was rented to a. poor family
named Lucey, who would hardly have
possessed such jewels, so their . pres
ence in the well can scarcely be ac
counted for on the theory that they
were hidden there then for safety.
The present value of the articles -is not
more than one hundred dollars, but
when new tbey must have been worth
something over one thousand dollars,
according to 'the valuation of a local
jeweler. They are now in the posses
sion of the gentleman who owns the
land on which the old place stood.
The watch is curious for its antique
workmanship; .. .though most of the
works have been eaten away by rust.
Mrs. Emily Thorne, who resides, at
Toledo, Washington, says she has never
been able to procure any - medicine for
rheumatism that relieves the pain so
quickly and effectually as Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and that she has also used it
for lame back with great , success. For
