Bur amongst that crowd ofunknOwn celeb

most of the world has heard. That small,
/ timid-loOking lad, who is standing in a corner,
is the famous KOmissarcff; the man who saved
/ the life of the Gar. \ few months ago he
was mere peasant Now he is a nobleman,
ami wears a brilliant uniform aud has lots of
ord Is on his breast. Last season he was the
hero + the day; he was embraced i'll public by
any number of grand dukes and duches 'es his

EUROPE IN 1917 AND IS67-Messrs. Mac
milan Il Co., the London publishers, IN an
nouncing the " Statesman 5 Year Book tor
1867, make an interesting tabular comparison
between the state of Europe in 1877 and 1867
The half century has extinguished three king
doms, one grand duchy, eight duches, four
principGlitieS, one electorate and four repub-
lies. Three new Kingdoms have arisen, and
one kingdom has been transformed into an
empir,. There are now torty-One States in
Europe. 1t may be remarked that the nine
teen grand dukes and princes of 1867 will be
much less ducal and princcy thanks to one
BiSmarck) than the thirty-two who ruled in
J 1917. Not less remarkable in the territorial
extension Of the superior States of the world
Russia has annexed 5S7 664 square miles; the
United States. l,967, 900; France, 1920 Prus
sia, %, 7Sl. SARDINIA, expanding into ltay, has
increased by 33,O4l. The principal Stat that
have lost territory are Turkey, Mexico, Aus
tria, Denmark, the Netherlands.
SOMEHOW MIXED. Here is good problem
for Philadelphia lawyer. The other day
man was seen running down stairs from one OF
/ our public houses lust before HIM was ham
mer' and in advance of the hammer another
, man was Ayinr into the street The hammer
missed the man. and struck dog, who gave a
veil, and darted against Dutch woman, who
was carving basket OF eggs IN one hand and
"s~ ;~1 of Of m"Iasses in the other, knocked her
9 down dW1 Al and landed upon the eggs, while the jug
s few ew from ON her hands, and striking the pave
: ment snread its contents over the walk A
q mon on running along with his hands in his pock-
f nts stepped into the molasses, and his feet fly
j inc from under him, he fell on woman, who
f cave yell, which frightened team OF horses
That were standing near and they broke loose
. and ran up the street, demoishing the wagon
l and scattering its contents on the pavemeAt.-
/ The question is, who threw the hammer and
t is he responsible for the subsequent chapter of
incidents?
