The Nc,u York Herald still keeps up it's To-
yoritism for Russia. Comparing the growth
and lust of dominion Of the Muscovite and
John Bull, for the last W hundred years, 1t
says: "Since thai time the Russian Empire
has grown from 2,0N,0U square miles 10 S,4H.-
766, and from l5,UO0,M0 population to more
than IS, 900, 900. This represents the steady
growth of an empire Of civilization over
barbarous nations like those In Central Afri-
ca or semi barbarous anarchies like old Po-
land. In this period OF time England has
grown to be n much larger empire than Rus
sia. with three million square miles III Amer
and more than two millions and a half in
Australia. The colonial possessions Of Great
Britain which nav. been gathered In the last
few centuries ire almost as large as the whole
Russian Empire" The conclusion Is drawn
thu 1t is more important for the outside
world to cry stop thief to the British than
10 the Russians. How would il do to cry
"stop thief to both Of them?
SUNSHINE AS A MEDIcINE.-Sleepless peo-
ple-and there are many In Americu-should
court the SUN. The very worst soporiic Is
laudanum, the very best IL sunshine. There.

BILE to keep off the subtles, and yet the most
potent influence which Is intended to give

Is it time to change all this, and so get roses
and color in our pale checks, strength in oul
weak souls? The women of America are
pale and delicate. They may be blooming
and strong, and the sunlight will be a potent
influence In this transformation.

Kars-The Story Of its Siege in 1855
From the Albany Argus.
The story Of this siege and of the defense
which took place just twenty-five years ago
Is among the most romantic Of the chronicles
of that war. Kars was garriSoncd with c
force Of II, 900 Turks and English. under COM
mand of Col. Fenwick Williams. The Rus
slams. under Nikolai Murivietf, the engineer
Of the Sebastopol Qualifications, invested tho
town in the first week OF June, 1853, with o.
600 men. For three months the bcsieglns
forces made Intellectual attemps TO obtain
possession of the natural intrenchm0nts, the
only result being the steady Increase OF the
strength OF the Qualifications by the industri'
GUS labor Of the defenders; while the de-
struction Of life In fruitless assaults and In
equally useless sallies was enormous. Then
the Russians encamped in a country. where
the resources of subsistence were unlimited
undertook to starvc out the plucky garrison
The allied parties failed to realize the impor'
lance Of supporting the defense of this post
and the contest was then between Col. VIII
linms and famine. When the end OF TIT
stores was reached, the horses were killed
and eaten. Dogs were next used; and when
even the rats were exterminated and starVu'
ton was ut hand, mothers brought their pa
bics and offered them as food to the soldiers
who were defending their homes. 1t was the
last OF November, nearly five months after
the investment, that Col. Williams, himScl.
unable to walk through weakness, proposed
a capitulation, and the Russian General hui
namely responded by hurrylng food into the
starving town. This siege brought hOnors tc
Col. Williams and great prestige to Russia.
