LENTEN CUSTOMS.
Cany Different Observances of Thla rn
tentlal Staion.
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

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

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. .

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.

CTatleau and Sack-Uttck Coats.
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. The trained
skirt was a necessary adjunct to the
new coat. Still advice Is given to any
woman whose stature la under five feet
