The first week of Lent is remarkable in some places, for its curious mixture of penitential observances with gayety and feasting. In" the United States, with the exception of Mardi Uras at New Or leans, and which Ls practically a sur vival of the days of French ascendancy in Louisiana, we hare nothing special In our way of keeping Lent. Foreign countries present the most attractive field for the pencil of an artist in de picting the color of the brilliant carni val scenes, as well us the more somber aspect of the religious incidents. In Venice, when King Carnival I? about to commence his sway, the repor of three guns is heard, and the rejoic ing citizens throng the approaches, by land and water, to the city or Doges. The poor people hare been looking for ward to carnival-time for many weeks, denying themselves to the last limit o endurance in order to save enough money to provide a suitable festa-dresH. Fisher men in green coats and scarlet caps, the Chiozzoti, as they are called, come in from the fishing villages to the lagoons where the people are supposed to hava, remained unchanged since the olden days. These fishermen carry baskets ol ggs and .fowl. King Carnival land from a boat and ascends his throne oat. loggia of the palace, where the Doge used to sit in the past. lie is hailed by enthusiastic crowds. It was on this same loggia, in carnival days gone bj, that the young gondoliers, divided int two factions called the Custelll and tbn Nicoletti, engaged in wrestling contest! be for the Doge. Many and brilliant arc the varied scenes of carnival-time. The street are thronged with revelers disjjuised hf grotesque masks and wearing fantastic costumes, and the air resounds with the curious carnival cry ci 'clo, cio" (your slave), varied by playful shouts of "bon ti eonosoco cara," as the male and female maskers trip past one another, and thus pro claim their mutual recognition despite the adventitious aids of holiday dis guise. At night the pleasure-seekers crowd the galleries of the Proeurati?, and in the caffe. among the grave por traits of the Dog-es. they sit sippixig their coffee, and making the air sound with conversation and laughter. Out side, under the canopy of stars, the young fishermen join in dancing the Manfrena, accompanying the motion vith the rattle of castanets, and date- ,ng Indiscriminately with peasant maiden or marchese, while the glare ol red fire, ignited in the top of the Cau- panile on St. Mark's piazza, luridly il luminates the scene. Behind the piizza the halls of th Rid otto are brilliant with the scexiet incidental to the progress of the mis- nuentas DaiL. ine Kiuotto was ones occupied by a gambling-hell larp;lj patronized by broken-down a r is to- I crats who fancied that there lav the opportunity of rehabilitating theii shattered fortunes; but the place eventually grew so hot Caat the government stepped in nnd closed it up. Not the least interesting part of the carnival display is the pro cession of the old aristocrats who were rich and powerful under the eighteenth century republie. These dilapidated old swells are known as the lustris- slma. They wear the old red clcake which were once the insignia of t'iieir rank now little better than a mock ery. The parade of the lustrisslma If regarded very much as a joke, and it u oome times suggeted that the luvt.rle- sima shanld Invite the "crowd" to n ception at their ancestral palazzi; and this badinage is taken In very croud part by the old, shabby genteels whe are themselves by no means unconscious of the pathetic humor of their own po sition. In Russia, Lenten times are strictly a period of fasting and abstentation from mundane indulgence. Shrovetide, how ever, is marked by a general feast ol tf5irs pancacS cheese and milk, which is kept up during the first week of Lent. jjux. mis ls soon succeeuea uy a season of great severity aiKl self-denial. In fact, when Lent draws to a close, the nation may be said to have reached a condition of temporary physical d.;teri oration in consequence. During the first weeks of the Russo-Turkisb war of IS77 the Russiin army became so weak' ened by the olservance of the fasi thai the czar, as head of the Greek church. was obliged to issue an edict suspend lng the operation of the ecclesiastical law enjoininjf lasting. Had this not been done, the soldiers would have been unfitted for the arduous fatigues ol the campaign. Church services during Lent In Russia are most imposing. In Moscow, at the church of Vassili Bhv jenny, the metropolitan (or archbishop) holds the inspiring services at th5 head of his priestw, attired in their splendid Vestments. There are no statues is the church and no instrumental musla The singing, on the other hand, is won derfully hue, and those who have not had an opportunity of hearing it can hardly conceive how exquisitely har monious purely vocal church music can be made. In Syria the Marronites, or Christian Syrians, who are adherents of tho Greek church, lead very strict and devout lives J 1 . T a m aunng jLienu xneir ceremonies are) elaborate and multifarious, for the Mar ronites are distinguished by a certain predilection for religious emblems of all kinds, and possess the natural eye for picturesque ceremonial characteristic of semi-bar baric races. . in imrai iimenca me injuia;i nonu- i'Z'S ? of courso catholic falth.Once a Week.

COST OF WAR An Array of Figures That la Slniplj Ae- tonlahlng. It appears, according to the estimate of French and Herman statisticians, there liave polished In the wars of th last thirty years 2,500,000 men, whiU there has been expended to carry them on no less than the inconceivable sum of $13,000,000,000. Of this amount France has paid nearly 1 3,500,000,000 as the cott of the war with Prussia, while her losi fn . men is placed at 155,000. Of thest B0.000 were killed on the field of battle, 80,000 died of sickness, accidents, oi suicide, and 20,000 in German prison r. while there died from other causei enough to bring the number up to the given aggregate. The sick and wounded amounted to 477,421, the lives of many thousands of whom were doubtles shortened -by their illness or Injuries. According to Dr. Roth, a German au thority, the Germans last during the war 00,000 men killed or rendered in valid and frtOO.000,000 in money, thlt being the excess of expenditure oroi material losses over the 1,250,000,000 paid by Frauce by way of Indemnity. Dr. Enrol, another German statistician, gives the following as the approximate cost of the principal wars of the last thirty years: Crimean war, 12.000,000,000, Italian war of 1S49, $300,000,000; Prusso- Danish war of 18C4, $35,000,000; War ol the Rebellion North $5,t00,0OJ,000, South li.SOO.OOO.OOO; Prusso-Austrian war of IS, $330,000,000; Ruvto-Turktsb war, $125,000,000; South African wars, $3,770,000; African war, $rj,&50,00O; Servo-Hulgarian, $170,000,000. All these wars were murderous in the extreme. The Crimean war, in which few battle! were fought, cost 750,000 lives, ouly 50,- 000 less than were killed or died of the It wounds, north and south, during the War of the Rebellion. The figures, it must be remembered, are German, and iulcrht not agree precisely with the American estimates. The Mexican an4 Chinese expeditions cost $200,000,00$ and C5.000 lives. There were 250.00$ killed and mortally wounded during the Rubljv-Turkey war, and 45,000 each i the "tatlan va of 1S59 and the war be tween Prussia and Austria. In the other wars the loss of life was relative ly less, which did not make either th men or money easier to part with in ths more limited areas where they occurred And this is but a part of the accounting. . . & vast since It does not inciuae tne millions expended during the last twenty ye in maintaining the vast armameoss the European powers, the losses cause bv stoma ire of commerce ana rnanuin tures, and the continual derangeme of industries by the abstraction tom useful employment ox so many millions of persons held for a period of mHltarj service extending from three to flvs rears.

Most new fashions which show a radical change from long-established modes meet as a rule with extreme op position from the majority, yet many of these very fashions finally win their way to popular favor by sheer force ol Insistence. Scores of derisive sdjecUvee have been applied to the Watteau and auck-back coats, but it appears that the feelings of many of those who expressed an adverse opinion of them have undsr- irone something more than modifica tion, and the sack-back and the Wat teau models are actually looming up In quite general favor. This can in s way be accounted for. There are certain articles of apparel that, for elegance and fitness, are almost entirely dependent oa contemporary fashions.
