In the healing of the deaf-mute,
notice that Jesus used a material

need doctors; they need our faith.

THE BIRDS OF
OUR NORTHLAND
—Continued From Page tore*—
the most interesting birds seen
being one of the twenty or more
varieties o f this family that cover
the United Staves from east to
west, oecuring in British America
and Alaska as well. In the Is
lands of Alaska it reaches its great
est development, being very much
larger than the ordinary Xorth
American Sparrow, and sometimes
as large as a cat bird.
Even the Barn Swallow was seen
on this trip; this bird is a true
migratory bird, traveling from this
point as far south as Argentina
and Chile in the winter months.

COMPARED WITH CIVIL WAR.
Europe’s Losses in Killed Proport
ionately Light.
The January English figures give
total casualties for British forces
as 549,467 after sixteen months of
war. Taking the white population
of the empire (disregarding India
and South Africa) as 60,000,000,
this is less than 1 per cent of the
total population.
Tlie white population of the Con
federacy in our civil war was 5,
500.000. In three days’ fighting at
Gettysburg they lost more than*20,
000, or nearly four-tenths of 1 per
cent of the white population.
Such a startling comparison is.
of course, not typical of the gen
eral situation, but, since most of
us .have been hypnotized by the
appalling aggregates of this war.
it is well that ,we should be a bit
jolted out of this condition of mind
by realizing at the outset that in
proportion to population the South
: lost four-tenths as many in three
days as the British did in sixteen
months.
Estimates of German losses in
killed and mortally wounded up to
January vary from sever hundred
thousand up. At th\- figure the loss
would be slightly more than 1 per
cent of the total population. The
parliamentary under secretary for
war, in parliament January 19,
gave total German casualties as
2,-500.000, of '.'Hi .a 5S8.9SG were
killed. These were given as in
cluding r.-> wb-'it German army,
though ih ?y come close to figures
given earlier for Prussia alooe. If
such an error was made, these
figures should be increased about
60 per cent.
If it should reach a million men.
it would be about 1 1-2 per cent.
This is a tremendous toll. Suppose
it reached the enormous total of
1,600.000 after two years’ fighting.
This would be two one-half per
cent. In our civil war it has been
estimated by not a few historians
that the Union losses from dead
plus total disabilities from disease
were about 2 1-4 per cent of the
population.
On the assumption, then, of
deaths of a million and a half oi
more, Germany in two years’ fight
ing would meet a loss proportional
to that of the Xorth in the civil
war. blit less than that of the
South.—Henry C. Emery.
