BANKRUPT NATIONS,

New York Tribune,

Ten years before its occurrence a statis. tician, rendered by the fulfilment of his 7 the mest distinguished in all

rance, predicted the collapse and ruin of the Panama canal scheme, and the same personsM. Leroy Beaulieu, now predicts the imminent bankruptcy of France and Germany. France has just refunded its 44 per centa in a 3 per cent. loan, effecting thus a saving of $13,600,060 per year, but her finances exhibit an annually increas- ing deficit, which between the years 185] and 1891 amounted to more than $100,- 000,000 per year. In addition to her mil- itary and naval expenditure, which are of crushing weight, the state is beseiged for all manner of subventions, for agri- cultural credit, co-operative societies, pensions for old age and a great number ef similar outlays, some of which have to be met in response to an urgent pepular demand for them, not accompanied by any perception of the additional strain which they impose upon the state’s already over- strained finances. M. Beaulieu points out that this cannot go on for ever, and his forecast attracts a good deal of anxious attention. At the same time the annual deficit of Italy in late years is $25,000,000 added each year to an accumulated mase of floating indebtedness which has prac- tically bankrupted the state; of Russia in 1892, $37,000,000; of Spain, from $15,600,- 000 to $20,000,000. Portugal and Greece have been practically bankrupt for years, former running behindhand about $10,000,000 a year,and the latter about $4,000,000. Allthe borrowing countries have spent all the money whieh they could find anybody tolend to them and have nothing left to show for it, it having gone in military and naval expenditures and in keeping the machinery of the re- spective states going. Germany as yet makes ends meet, but is perhaps the most oppressively taxed country in the world, and is forced by its territorial situation to keep armaments which cannot be sus- tained in permanence by any community. The financial situation of Europe is mani- festly precarious, and it gets worse from year to year without sign of improvement in any quarter. According to the eccono- mists, the only effective measure of relief is in the reduction of the enormous arma- ments which the nations are obliged to maintain in order to represe the dis- position of their neighbors to fly at their throats and rend and mutilate and destroy them. But this reduction is more likely to be made upon the battlefield than by any amicable agreement of the powers. The outlook, then, is not on the whole reasuring, but for that matter it never is. The European storm cloud of battle is always gathering or breaking, and the majority of her nationalities are always on the edge of bankruptey, showing a con- stant balance on the wrong side of the ledger and an increasing difficulty in making ends meet. In comparison with these, which are chronic abroad, our own recurring troubles, financial, industrial and economic, lose something of their op- pressive aspect.

COLOSSAL FORTUNES.

By a calculation made a short time ago, by an American statistician, it seems that seventy citizens of the United States pos- sessed among them an aggregate wealth of £540,600,000. That gives an average of £7,500,000 for each person. To come to particulars; There was one estate—we refrain here from mentioning names—re- turned as worth no less than £30,000,000. There were five individuals valued at £20,000,000: one valued at £14,000,000; two valued at £12,000,000; six valned at $10,006,000; six valued at £8,000,000; four valued at £7,000,000; thirteen valued at £6,000,000; ten valued at £5,000,000; four valued at £4,500,000, and fifteen valued at £4,000,000.

The brain reels before such figures. They express measures of wealth which the ordinary mortal is powerless to grasp.

Besides these seventy colossal fortunes there are fifty other persons in the North- ern States alone valued at over £2,000,000 each, thirty of them being valued in all at £90,000,000. There were some time ago published liete of sixty-three millionaires in Pennsylvania possessing in the aggre- gate £60,000,000, and of sixty persons in three villages near New York whose wealth aggregated £100,000,000. In Boston fifty families pay texes on annual incomes of about £200,000 each.

We have nothing to compare with such individual cases of wealth in Great Britain. Baron Rothschild and Lord Overstone

} each left about £3,500,000; the late Lord

Dadley left £4,000,000; the late Duke of Buccleugh, estimated to be the richest Scotchman, left estates valued at £6,000,- 000. One living English duke is valued at £10,000,000 and another at £8,000,000, but not many names could be added to these to place against the above list of American fortunes. In 1884 there were only one hundred and four persons in the United Kingdom whose incomes from business profits were returned as over £50,000 a year. In 1886 there were only seventeen estates which paid probate duty on about £250,000 each—Chambers’s Journal.

INFLUENCES THAT MOULD.

From Harper’s Bazar

Itisoften a problem with parents whether it is better tosave forthe children or to epend for them; whether the wiser way is to live very frugally and plainly, keeping Ls watchful eye on every expenditure in

order that a fortune may accrue by the time the little ones are grown, that land may be added to land and house to house, so that the father, when it comes to mak- ‘ing his last will and testament, may have something to leave and distribute among his heirs, or, on the other hand, whether a judicious investment of means all the way on is not really the better for the children

In the one case lesson of self denial and thrift are certainly instilled—tke boys and girls learn the value of money; sometimes they learn to look upon money as the only good rather than as the means to an end. In the other cose they are surround- ed by beantiful things during the periods when impressions are most readily taken, and when character is moulded, and the style of the future man and wife formed for life.

One thing may be set down as absolute, without exception: there is not only folly, but lack of integrity, in deliberately living beyond one’s means, and children who are brought up in a home where they see little care for the payment of just debts promptly and fully, are in great danger of becoming themselves dishonest. Granting, however, that the parents have a sufficient income to pay their way with- out too much anxiety, it would seem that the truer economy of life would be tc apend freely rather than grudgingly.

A beautiful environment helps to mould ebaracter. Children who grow up in a home in which they are used to elegance and refinement absorb these qualtiies from the atmosphere. If the mother has suf- ficient help in doing her work to enable her to give much of herself to the children, the children are the gainers. Contact with pictures and books is in itself elevating. It is a good thing to Jive in a house where books abound, even if one does little more than become familiar with their bindings, and the chances are that in a house where books multiply there will be a good deal

of household reading. Every fine en- graving helps to form the child’s love of

art. Music and musical instruments assist in producing that gentleness and sweetness which go far to oil the machin- ery of living.

Upon the whole they are wise who di:- count the future and sow largely and |ib- erally in the sunshine present. Whatever may be taken from children amid the chances and changes the years may bring the pleasures which are freely given them while they are growing up become pa t and parcel of life and thought, and never can be taken away. ee THE FRENCH MINE EXPLOSION,

The serious explosion of fire damp _ re- ported from Montceau les Mines, depart ment of Saone-et-Loire, it is believed, killed fifty persons in the mine in which the ex- plosion took place. It appears that fire broke out on Monday of last week in the St. Eugenie sit, and while the miners were fighting this fire an explosion occurred which wrecked the galleries and entombed the miners. The rescue party thus far has recovered twenty-one bodies and ha- removed from the ruins eight terribly in- jurod miners.

A despatch to the London Standard

from Paris says that there had been two explosions in the St. Eugenie pit previous to this last disaster. In the first explosion eighty-four persons were killed, and in the veeond forty persons perished. During the past eighteen years not an accident had happened in the mine. The despatch says that the work of res- cuing the living and recovering the bodies of the dead is greatly impeded, owing to the fact that the explosion caused the workings to collapse, tilling the galleries with tons of rock and earth and great quantities of timber that had been used for supports. The bodies that have al- ready been brought to the surface were +o badly burned that they presented the ap- pearance of blackened cinders. The wounded are in a terrible condition, their flesh frightfully torn. Many of them have broken arms and legs in addition to their other injuries. They suffered the most ex- cruciating agony, and as_ they re- moved from the pit, their groans caused the hardest of the miners who heard them to shudder. The mouth of the pit is sur- rounded by waiting women and children, whose husbands and fathers are entombed in the mine.

REVERE HOTEL

cent distances, involving considerable night travel. There are no regular sleep ing-cars like ours, but the seats are long enough for the passengers to stretch out on and wide enough to make a reasonable couch, which the traveller provides with his own thin mattress, pillow, and wraps. The number of servants in a great hotel is confusing at first. In a long corridor you see one before each door. They usually sleep there, wrapped in a sheet or blanket and curled up on the floor.—Boston Herald.

THE COWARDS LET ALL

Following are the details of the burn- ing of the ferryboat Terceira and the loss of over one hundred lives (previously re-

rted as the steamer Nictheroy.) The Decsiea, with over three hundred pass- engers, left the Rio side of the bay about 6 p. m., for San Domingo, where she land- ed 200 persons and received on board some fifty others. Soon after backing out of the dock at San Domingo and turning toward Praia Grande it was that the Terceira was burning rapidly. At the same time the ferryboat Quinta left Praia Grande having quite a large num- ber of passengers on beard. The master pilot of the Quinta intended to run along- side near enough to save the passengers, who were in imminent danger of being burned to death. But when nearly in striking distance of the burning wreck, he was prevehted by the cowardice of the passengers of the Quinta, who in a large crowd went up to the pilot house, and with drawn revolvers compelled him to abandon the people on the burning boat. A large number of launches from the Rio side hastened to the scene, and many were thus rescued, but over a hundred lives were unnecessarily lost.
