Berlin is the center of the mili tary system of Germany, and con sequently it has the general flavor of a camp. You see military everywhere. You enter a cafe for your breakfast, an officer sits opposite you. You go into a beer hall at night, the place is blue, yellow and scarlet with uniforms. They meet you on the street, thej' make the theaters lurid, you are awakened in the morning by the everlasting drums of a regiment marching somewhere, to do some thing; you see them guarding al most everything, and, in short, wherever you go it is military. The military power of Germany may be understood from the fol lowing figures: In twenty-four hours, the Kaiser can put 500,000 men into the field, perfectly equipped; in ten days, 750,000; in twenty days, 1,000,000; in thirty-five days, 1,350,000, and after that the entire male population of the Empire between the ages of eighteen and forty-five. Every able-bodied male child has to do service in the regular army for three years, unless his grade at the public schools short- ens his term. A certain urn- pro ficiency at the schools shortens it so that if a boy is sufficiently -advanced at graduation, he may es cape with one year's service, ex cept going into camp once a year. However, he is regularly enrolled, all the same, and in case of war may be called into service, where he takes his place in whatever rank he went out in. Every male German, rich and poor, is a soldier, and with a perfect knowledge of the latest approved methods of butchering other men. It is a na tion of soldiers. The taking of everybody into the army is what makes the severe draft upon the people possible. The rich and well-to-do submit for the sake of the protection it gives their property, and the stability it guarantees, while the poor see their children go into the army with some degree of satisfaction, for there is no class-favoritism in the matter. The rich man's boy hull iuc pour I1IUI1 5 uuy SUU1U ) j i. i- i -ij: shoulder o shoulder in the ranks, J and the only preference there is determined bj' proficiency and merit. The rich man cannot buj' a substitute for his son. As every body has to serve there are no sub stitutes to be had. The army is the only approach to Democracy there is in German'. The only advantage the rich have over the poor in this particular is, the wealthy may give their sons better educational advantages and thus start them on a higher plane. As things are arranged in this fright fully imperfect world, this milita rism is probably necessary. AH Europe is a camp, and all Eu ropean nations want all the others. Germany has England, the bully of j nations, on one side, Russia on another, and France, her hereditary antagonist, on the other, to say nothing of Austria, who owes Prussia a debt of hatred which she would pay were she strong enough. Then European politics are so complicated and Germany's geo graphical position is such that she must keep in a constant state of preparation for what may happen. Of course, if all the nations would disarm, and settle down to a peace footing, Germany could do like wise. But as it is she has got to keep up & navy, go on building fortifications which are impregna ble till guns are invented which can batter them down, and cast those guns and rebuild fortifica tions to resist them, and so on, xmi. her whole populatiou snust waste, each, three years of the j best part of their lives in learning j the art of wholesale murder, and J the people must pay for it JBer-' lin littler. The Valley of Death. A valley surpasssing in reality of horrors the fabled region of the upas tree, has been discovered in the Island of Java. The island is vol canic, and in one spot the emana tions from the interior of the earth are so deadly that the place is called the Valley of Death. As the traveler approaches he is at tacked with nausea and giddiness. He also notices a suffocating smell. As he advances these symptoms disapper, so that after passing through the belt of fetid air which guards the valley, the visitor is able to examine with less risk the spectacle before him. A recent traveler describes the val ley as being an oval, about one mile in circumference, and about 30 to 40 feet below the surrounding land. The floor of the valley is flat, dry, without any vegetation; and scattered all over lt are lne skeletons ot men, tigers, wild boan? birds and staos lJlDS among large blocks of stone. No aieam ui uiu.u n uu ub been, uor any crevice to be seen in the earth, which appears to be hard as rock. The hills which hem in this valley of desolation are clothed from base to summit with health trees and bushes. The traveler whom we have already quoted descended the side of one hill with the aid of a bamboo stick, to about eighteen feet from the bottom, and he com pelled a dog to go down to the plain. In five minutes the dog fell on its side motionless, although it continued to breathe for eighteen minutes. Another dog died in ten minutes; and a fowl onhy resisted the deadly air for a minute and a half. It is believed the human skeletons are those who have sought refuge here, ignorant of the fatal air they came to breathe. The neighboring mountains are vol canic, but they neither emit sul phurous odors nor do they present any indications of recent erup tion. Jn the woods in the Yicinity of Mount Zion, about three miles west of this city, there are a large number of wild hogs whioh have been foraging on the meadows and fields of farmers, especially after night, for a long time. On Sun day the farmers organized a hunt for the purpose of clearing the bushes of the pestiferous beasts and several hogs were shot, but none captured. With every crack of a rifle would come a squeal in dicating that the shot had taken effect. Portland Standard. Chinese women are being land ed at Victoria, B. C; then sold to their countrymen, and after wards brought into the United States, disguised as Indian women. Out of a lot of forty taken to that place by steamer a few days ago, thirty-two came across the line. It is predicted that this traffic in human flesh will be carried on in that port on a large scale next year. It is estimated that the sales of agricultural implements in Walla Walla during the past year aggre gated over 300,000, while at other points in Eastern Oregon and Washington the amount of sales would swell the figures to a million dollars or more. The Kansas City Times reports that its book-keeper suffered very severely, and for a long time, with rheumatism. He tried St. Jacobs Oil and was cured bv one bottle of it. Mexican Gastronomical Habits. A tourist in Mexico says that, in the honse of a wealthy native. everybody is astir before sunrise. A servant comes to your room to ask you if you will have coffee or chocolate there, or will go to the dining room for it. You must not be offended if the host is off I to his business without seeing you, for at 10 o'clook he will return and ' greet you ceremoniously enough, j The breakfast,, which is the chief, meal of the day, is then served in j courses. Fruit is eaten first, soup often follows, then meat, after that J eggs, and finally frijoles, the l national dish. This last is a dark , red bean, cooked with lard, f ,i u:ui :.u j .nnn t and is served in a soup plate and j foreigners generally become as t fond of it as the natives. Wine is always on the table and every body concludes by smoking a cigarette, the ladies not excepted, j Coffee and chocolate are served ' again in the afternoon, and at 11 j r. m. there is a ujrnt supper, con sisting principally of tomalcs, which is corn meal mush mixed j with a lorce-meat or cnicKen or beef, highly seasoned with red pepper and onions, all nicely: rolled in a clean corn shuck, tied and put in a pot and boiled until S done, and served in the shuck hot The Walla Walla and Colfax f l9n,i nmai! .m i,n. nniv r. ;niutoa contract with a forfeit of the Territory that is, offices where the fees come up to the maximum amount allowed bylaw as salary.
