the dead men. Side by side were laid
two, Of gigantic proportions, bloaled ny
corruption to the size Of Titans. The
ce0ra! projections of their cofins, left
spaces between them at their heads aud
heels. This was too much room 10 be
filled with earth. How should the space
be saved? OpporlGuely the material is
al hand, FOR carl comes numbering in,
with the corpses Of a mother and her two
little children. Chuck the children IN
the spaces at the heads and heels of the

out there alone! A comrade for her will
be found anon, and herself and babes will
sleep not tue less soundiy from the un-
wonted contgc!
The fumcs rise up in 1eathly exhala-

THE PRcGREss IF RUssIA,-'rherc is
something really g-and and imposing in
the steady march of Russian dominion
since Peter The Great first consolidated
his empire into substantive stale. Ga
his accession in 1899, its Western boun-
Diary was in longitude 80 degrees, and
its Southern il latitude AZ degrees; these
have now been pushed 10 longitude lS
degrees and latitude 80 degrees respect

European sea; her only ports were Arch
angel in the Frozen Ocean, and Astrak.
han on the Caspian; she has now access
both to the Baltic and the Euxine. Her
population, mainly arising from increase
of territory, has augmented thus:
A, the Accession Of Peter the Grea,,
in 1850, it was 10 100000; atthe acces-
sion of Catherine the Second, in 1852, it
was $4,000, 900; at the accession of
Paul, in 1896, i, was 36,0OO,OO0; at the
accession of Nicholas, in 1852, it was
5S,000000. BY the treaty of Neustadt,
in 1871, aud by subsequent treaty in
1909, she acquired more Than half the
kingdom of Sweden, and the commqnd
of the Gull Of Finland, from which be fore
she was excluded. By the three paris
tions of Poland, in l772,. 1893, and 1885,
and by the arrangements of 1915, sue
acquired territory nearly equal in extent
10 the whole Austrian empire. By various
wars and treaties with Turkey, in 1894,
1888, and 1912, she robbed her of teiri>
tories equal in extent to all that remains
of her European domipions, aud acquired
the con mand Of the Black Sea.
Between 1900 aud 1914, she acquired
from Persia districts at least as large as
the whole of England, from Tar,ary
territory which ranges over 80 degrees
of longitude. During the period of $50
years, she has advanced her frontier 500
miles toward Conslaniinople, $50 miles
towards Stockholm, 700 miles tnwards
Berlin and Vienna, and 1000 miles to,
ward Teheran, Cabool, aud Calcutta.
One only acquisition she has not yet
made, though steadily pushing toward it,
earnestly desiring it, and feeling il 10 be
essential 10 the completion Of her vast
designs and the satisfaction of her natural
and consistent ambition, - namely the
possession of Conslanlinople and Row
melia; which would give her the most
admirable harbors and the command of
the Levani, aud would enable her TO
overlap, surround, menace, and embarrass

TENAc1TY IF LAKE SUPERIOR IRoN.-
The Detroit Advertiser says: "if any one
have any doubt Of The great superiority
of Lake Superior iron, over any other
now in use, we think those doubts would
be removed by inspecting shaving now
in our office, cut from a cast iron shaft
made of that iron, Messrs. johnson
Wayne g. Co., of this city. In lis pres
ent twisted state it is 10 feet long, and
straight, would be 20 feet Though
shaved from a cast iron shaft, as we have
said, it possesses tho tenacity, and Ne
believe the malleability too of the best
wrought iron. Shavings taken from tie
ordinary kind of iron break of their own
weight when foot or two long. But this
is almost as smooth and free from cracks
as though il had been taken from a shaft
Of lead in the same way, and is much
tougher"

The New York Times thus heads a
long article on the subject Of the sick
bachelor.
"Sick bachelor! A dying camel in
the desert! A sailor on hen coop in
The middle of tho Atlantic! All the
same. The same incident from different
points ofview, The same subject with
varied accessories. If there is a pre-,
ponderance of misery on either side it Is
on the side of the sick bachelor. The
camel, however intelligent it may be, is
still scarcely as sensitive as the human
sufferer, and the sailor ON hen coop a
thousand miles from shore is at least
spared the misery of knowing that there
is help within call. The sick bschlor is
the ne plus ultra Of human misery.
