When Doniphan lake, In Kansas, Is
covered with Ice the boys and girls can
make a blaze at any time by making a
hole in the ice and holding a lighted
match to the opening. Instantly a Jet
of flame will leap up several feet in
the air and will burn brightly for some
minutes. This Is because large quan-
tities of natural gas bubble up from the
bed of the lake and are held under the
surface of the Ice. In some parts of
the lake the gas supply Is so great that
it prevents Ice from forming except In
the oddest weather. It Is not an un-
common practice for skaters on the

Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo., ■
writes: “For six years I have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection ol
the glands of my neck, and all effort!
of physicians in Washington, D. C.,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months' constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, I be-
gan its use. Before I had used one bot-

It is estimated that since the Chris-
tian era began over 4,000,000,000 human
beings have perished In war. The cost
of the world’s wars since the Crimean
war has been $13,265,000,000, or enough
to give a $10 gold piece to every man,
woman and child on the globe. Dur-
ing the most peaceful years the world
has 3,700,000 soldiers, who are with-
drawn from the productive operations
to pose as soldiers. The pay, equip-
ments, food and clothing of these men
costs the world’s taxpayers nearly $8,-
000,000 a day. The cost of our navy
during the civil war was, for 1862, $12,-
000,000; 1863, $63,000,000; 1804, $85,000,-
000; 1865, $122,000,000.
During the civil war the Confederate
cruisers captured or destroyed 80 ships,
46 brigs, 67 schooners and 8 other ves-
sels flying the American flag. The
number of men withdrawn from indus-
try to take part in the civil war on the
Union side was 2.772,168, while the
Confederates enlisted over 600,000. The'
expense of the war department in 1862
was $394,000,000; in 1863, $599,000,000;
in 1864, $690,000,000; in 1865, $1,031,00.),-
000.
In times of war the armies of Eu-
ropean nations can be raised to 9,366,-
000 men, and the daily expense will be
nearly $20,000,000, to say nothing of
the destruction of life and property.
During the last few months of the civil
war the expense of the government ex-
ceeded $3,000,000 a day. The destruc-
tion of stores and clothing by both ar-
mies during the civil war is estimated
at $100,000,000. In 1881 English ships
brought to the bone factories of Eng-1
land 30,000 skeletons of Turkish and
Russian soldiers who had perished in
the Crimean war. They were to be uti-
lized as fertilizing material, after be-
ing ground to powder in the mills. All
the wars of Napoleon Bonaparte cost
£255,000,000, while the wars of Louis
Napoleon cost France £442,000,000. The
former made the enemy pay most of
the expense; the expense of the wars
waged by the latter was borne by
France. During the civil war in this
country, from 1861 to 1865, the Union
ordnance department served out to the
During the five years that the Amer-
ican revolutionary war continued 283,-
200 Americans were enlisted, but there
were rarely more than 30,000 in the
field at any one time. The national
debt of Great Britain at the revolu-
tion of 1688 was only £664,000. Since
then It has increased through war ex-
penses to the enormous total of £685,-
000,000. At Cannae, where the Romans
sustained the worst defeat they ever
experienced, there were 146,000 men
on the field, of whom 52,000 were kill-
ed. Russia spends 225,000,000 roubles
a year on the army and 40,000,000 on
the navy. A silver rouble is worth
nearly 75 cents, a paper rouble about
50 cents. The reports after the battle
of Waterloo showed that the British
artillery fired 9,467 rounds, about one
for every French soldier killed on the
field. The barracks built for Euro-
pean soldiers are generally far better
than the houses of the peasantry.
Chelsea Barracks in England cost £245
per man. The engines of a first-class
steel man-of-war- cost nearly $700,000.
In the British navy the annual cost of
maintaining a man is £211. r££e aver-
age cost of maintalng a man in the
American navy is $1,500. Even little
Belgium spends every year 46,000,000
francs on her army. At Bannockburn
135,000 men fought and 38,000 were
killed or wounded.
During the siege of Sebastopol the
batteries of the allied army threw into
the besieged city over 30,000 tons of
shot and shell. The cost of the artil-
lery firing and the value of the guns
ruined and condemned is estimated at
$12,000,000. During the Franco-Prus-
sian war the Germans fired 30,000,000
rifle cartridges and 363.000 charges of
artillery, killing or mortallly wound-
ing 77,000 Frenchmen, showing that
400 shots are required to kill or mor-
tally wound one man. It is estimated
that the world’s cannon has cost the
world’s tax-payers a little over $40,000,-
000.
At Waterloo there were 145,000 men
on both sides, of whom 51,000 were
killed or disabled.
The army and navy of the Argentine
Confederation are kept up at an an-
nual cost of $13,000,000. The wars of
the last seventy years have cost Rus-
sia $335,000,000, and the lives of 664,000
men. After the surrender of the
Turks at Plevna the Russians took
possession of $17,000,000 worth of
arms. Denmark spends every year
16,000,000 kroener on her army and
navy. A kroener is a little over 25
cents. During the civil war the un!on
blockading fleet captured or destroyed
735 schooners, 155 sloops, 262 steamers,
total deaths, 279,376; total desertion*,
199,105. A partial statement on the
confederate side declared that 133,821
men had died In battle of wounds
or disease and 104,428 bad de-
serted. During the war the union
troops captured 476,169 confederate
prisoners; the confederates captured
212,600 union men. Of the latter 29,725
died in confederate prisons, while 26,-
i774 confederates died In confinement.
ENGLISHMAN OF ROMANCE.
Flowery
Sir Edwin Arnold’. Life In the
Kingdom.
Sir Edwin Arnold, who sealed his
union with a fascinating Japanese wid-
ow by an English marriage service in
London recently, was always cosmopol-
itan in his ideas, says the Philadelphia
Record. Surely no Englishman born
and bred has ever succeeded in merg-
ing his own individuality into that of
other people's as the author of “The
Light of Asia” and “The Light of the
World” has done. When he was In In-
dia in his young days his work showed
his intense sympathy with the Budd-
hists, and in the preface to “The Light
of Asia” he wrote: “This book was
written by one who loved India and
the Indian people,“ For two score
years he was English to the core of
his heart in the editorials he wrote for
the London Telegraph and In 1890 ha
came to America, seemed quite able to
understand us (as few of his country-
men could do), and then he went on to
Japan and immediately began to live
a la Japanais. He lived in a native
house, left his shoes at his door, slept
on a thick quilt and, they say, ate In
true Japanese style. In his bedroom
he had a cheap European washstand,
two Japanese chests of drawers uf
white wood and black iron work, and
the usual sliding cupboards, into which
his bed was put when It was roiled
up in the daytime. The walls of the
room were of tissue-paper panels pow-
dered with silver maple leaves and a
clear glass belt ran. around the room.
The drawing-room was glass paneled
from door to ceiling and the only thing
in the whole house that hinted at other
civilizations was an American stove,
which stood in one of the corners. With
such surroundings it is not much won-
der that the impressionable poet found
himself going through the ceremony of
tea drinking with his charming com-
panion of the hour, and that he was
content to accept the ceremony as a
bona-fide marriage is tribute to his
kinship with genius that since the
THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA.
From the Republican, Scranton, Pa.
In Misory.
ao'STc.r issflrasffiK &
When the stomach is robbed of the nour-
ishment demanded by nature, assimilation
ceaaes, unnatural gases are generated; the
entire system responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms
and torture of dyspepsia is fnrnishad by
tbe case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hick-
ory Kt., Scranton, Pa.
in telling his story, Mr. Vandylcosay*:
“Five years ago I was afflicted with •
trouble of the stomach,
which was very aggra-
vating. I had no appe-
tite, conld not enjoy my-
self nt any time, uinl es- |
pecially was the trouble
severe when I awoke in
the morning. I did not
know what the ailment
was, but it became stead-
ily worse and I was in
constant misery.
“I called in my family
physician, and ho diag-
nosed the case as catarrh
of the stomach. Ho pre-
scribed for me and I had
the prescription filled. I
took nearly all of tho medicine, hut still
the trouble becamo worse, and I felt that
my condition was hopeless. I tried sever-
al remedies recommended by my friends
but without benefit. After I had been suf-
fering soveral months, Thomas Itunpbell,
also a resident of this citv, urged me to
try Dr. Williams’ Pink Fills for Pale
People.
“Ho Anally persuaded me to buy a box
and I began to use the pills according to
directions. Before I had taken the second
box I began to feel relieved, aud after tak-
ing a few more boxes. I considered myself
restored to health. The pills gave mo new
life, strength, ambition aud happiness.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pi is cure dyspepsia
by restoring to the blood the requisite con-
stituents of life, by renewing the nerve
force and enabling tbe stomach to prompt-
ly and properly assimilate the food. These
pills are a spe ifle for all diseases having
their origination in impoverished blood or
disordered nerves. They contain every
element requisite to general nutrition, to
restore strength to the weak, good health
to the ailing.
Charity Among Ant*.
It is certain that ants intentionally
sanction the residence of certain in-
sects in their nests. This is the case,
for instance, with a curious blind
beetle, which is absolutely dependent
upon ants, and is habitually fed by
them, the ants supplying it with nour-
ishment as they do one another.
It Will Fay.
It will pay to carefully read the de-
scriptive advertisement of Alabastine
appearing in this paper, explaining the
difference between those goods and
kalsomines. Consumers should bear
in mind that Alabastine is unlike all
the various kalsomines sold on the
market under different names. Ala-
bastine stands pre-eminent and alone
as a durable wall coating, and all con-
sumers in buying should see that the
goods are in packages and properly
labeled.

4ioo<l Wages for (IIovo Cutters.
The cutters of the great glove houses
at Brussels and in France earn higher
wages than the cutters of the most
fashionable tailors in I>ondon and New
York. So difficult is this art of cut-
ting gloves that most of the principal
rutters are known to the trade by
name and by fame, and the peculiar
knives which they use in the business
are so highly prized that they are
handed down from generation to gen-
eration as heirlooms.

June, 1791, to November, 1813, the
French government enrolled 4,556.000
men, nearly three-fourths of whom
died in battle, of wounds or diseases
contracted in the field. The expend-
