Territorial Advances of Russia.

The LONDON correspondent of the Hamilton
(Canada) Spectator gives the following outline
of the territorial advances of Russia since the be-
ginning of the present century:
"By the conquest Of Finland in 1909, she gained
the command of the gufs of Finland and Bothnia
and thus completely change the position of Russia
relatively to Sweden. By that conquest she
gained the ports of Abo and Sweaberg, the last
being the great naval establishment of the Swedes.
and also the isle of Aland which is only twenty
four miles from the Swedish shore, and runs up
her territory hundred and sixty miles: till it
touches the frontier of Norway, round which
country it bends hundred and ninety miles
Formerly the guns of Sweden could be heard at
st. Petersburg now Finland forms the Russian
barrier on the Baltic or rather In lngra, on which
the new capital was built, when little better than
a marsh.
On the Niernen the frontier remains unchanged
for hundred miles, but at the point where that
river along East Prussia, the frontier strikes
the Vistula at Thom, whence Dantzic is only
distant 10 miles, and Berlin but 10 miles. The
line then crosses the Vistua, advancing to kalish,
and bending southerly, passes within 80 miles of
the Oder, when it follows an eastern course along
the district of Cracow, and then is only distant
ITO miles from Vienna Thus she threatens by
her proximity, both Prussia and Austria.
By the treaty of Bucharest in 1912 she pushed
the boundary to the Pruth She got possession of
the Crlmea in 1871. and of Georgia in 1901, and
has now the command of the Caspian by the
river Volga, which is actually connected with the
Neva, on the Baltic, by chain of rivers, that
the navigation is continuous, and thus threatens
Persia. What remains against Russia is the eau.
casus and the Black Sea. Give her these and
she is master. Therefore, it is wise to strike a
blow at this colossus, too crafty to be trusted and
whose craftsmanship is based on hypocrisy II
must indeed be plain rom the geogra phical posi-
tion of Russia that it is the special interest of
Prussia and Austria to confne her within her
present frontier, it is the interest of the mari
time powers to exclude her from he Sound, the
Black Sea aud the Dardaneles.

A NOVEL CURE FOR INrENPERANcE.-Th
London Spectator mentions curious remedy IN
use in Swedish hospitals, for that form of mad
ness which exhibits itself in the uncomfortable
appetite for alcoholic stimulents The process
may be easily described We will suppose that
the liquor which the patient is accustomed to
drinking is the comuonest in the country-say
gin: When he enters the hospital for treatment
he is supplied with his tavorite drink. and with
no other if anything else is given him, or any
other food, it is favored with gin. He is in
Heaven; the very atmosphere is redoent of his
tavorite perfume! His room is scented with gin.
his bed, his clothes, everything around him; every
mouthfu he eats or drinks, every thing he touches:
every zephyr that steals into his room, brings to
him still gin, He begins to grow tired Of itSbe-
gins rather to wish for something else: begins to
lind the oppression intolerable-hates it-cannot
bear it-longs for emancipation, and is at last
emancipated; he issues into the fresh air a cured
n,an--dreadins nothing so much as return to
that loathed prosecutor which would not leave
him an hours rest in his confinement 'sThis
remedy" says our English cotemporary, .appears
TO have been thoroughly effectual-so effectual
that persons who deplored their uncomfortable
propensity have petitioned for admission to the
hospital in order to be cured; and they have been
cured.n

The New York Sunday Times, at considerable
trouble has collected the following description in
relation to the derivations OF the names of the
States:
s'Mane was first called '1Tarvooshen but about
1888, took the name it now bears, from Maine.
a province in the west of France. The name is
originally derived from the Cenomanni, an an
cient Galic people New Hampshire was the
name given to the territory granted by the Ply
mouth Company to Captain John Mason, by pat
ent, in 1859, and was derived from the patentee,
who was Governor of Portsmouth, in Hampshire,
England; Vermont is from verdi green, and
mont mountains. Massachusetts, named
from tribe of Indians in the vicinity of Boston
Roger Williams says the word signifies blue hills.
Rhode Island was called in GA. in relation to
the island Of Rhodes in the Mediterranean. New
York was named in honor of the Duke of York. to
whom this territory was granted. Pennsy yvania
was called after William Penn. In 1861, the
Duke of York made grant Of what is the
State of New Jersey, to Lord Berkley and Sir
George Cartaret and it received its name in CON-
piIrf1ent to the latter who had been Governor of
the Island of Jersey. Delaware, called in
1902, after Lord De La Ware. Maryland was
named in honor CT Henrietta Maria, Queen of
Charles l., in his patent to Lord Baltimore, June
3, 1852. Virginia was called after toe virgin
Queen Of England, Elizabeth. The Carolinas
were named by the French, in honor Of Charles
X, of France Georgia was called in 692. after
George II. Louisiana was named after Louis
XIV, OF France. Florida received its name from
Ponce De Leon, in 1912. while on his voyage in
search of the fountain of youth. He discovered it
on Easter Sunday-in Spanish. 'Pascue Florida
The States of Alabama, Mississippi. Tennessee
Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Arkansas and
Missouri, are all named from their principal riv-
ers, and the names are of Indian origin, except
ing, perhaps, Kentucky,-and their meanings in
volved in some obscurity. Tennessee is said to
signify curved spoon. Illinois, the River of
Men. Mississippi, the Whole River; or a river
formed by the union of many Michigan was
named from the Lake on its borders. Iowa is an
Indian name; also, Texas-signifying beautiful-
California was thus named by the Spaniards at
very early day"
