poverty and degradation of charity by policy
of life insurance" Such man obeys one of
the noblest impulses which God has implanted
in the human soul.
There are no institutions in this country or
the world which have done and are doing 80
much good as life insurance companies and
Odd Fellowship-both coeval. Commencing
about the same time they have dispensed their
millions in providing for the widow, feeding
the hungry, clothing the naked and educating
the orphan. Will any one say because some of
the Odd Fellows lodges (by bad management
have been compelled to close up that Odd
Fellowship is humbug and swindle?
Could the community generally see and
know, as we know, the blessings which this
insurance is comforting upon a multitude of
families throughout this country we should
hear no more from the "croakers" that life
insurance is humbug
Shall it be said that becausei'over 5000 bust
ness men and firms in this country failed in
1876 and that because some savings and 9th er
banks, some large manufacturing compani
have failed that we are to regard all business
men as impostors, all banks as swindling insti-
tutlons and all manufacturing corporations as
financial bubbles? Why then, because there
are bad eggs ''kll the goose that lays the golden
egg" by the hue and cry of humbug?
Experience being the best teacher the part OF
wisdom is to be guarded in the future and deal
with only such as are beyond any question
reliable and afford the greatest advantages for
success and Sc curity. w. d. i.

pASKIEWIrScHS CAMPAIGNS.

The campaigns of Prince Paskiewitsch,
first against the Persians and subsequent
lyagainst the Turks in 1928 and 1929, we're
certainly the most brilliant achievements
performed in this century by Rrssian
army: and they differ from all other Rus
sian military operations in this respect
that instead of being accomplished by
large masses of troops, and at great sac
rifce oflife, they were performed by very
small columns admirably handled. Pas
kiewitsch never had more than 25,0OO
men under his orders in Asia or more
than 10000 in the field. Yet he took Kars
(then very imperfectly fortifed) by. sur
prise and assault in four days; he took
Akhiska, after a splendid defence; he re-
duced Bayazid, and captured 3l3 guns,
1876 stf ndards, and 5000 prisoners. The
whole Russian force engaged in that cam
paign was $4,000 men, their loss 5000, as
much by plague and bad climate as the
sword. Yet even to obtain supplies for
this small force was work of great diff
Guilty, for the theatre of war afforded no
resources whatever. In the winter which
preceded the campaign of 1929 Paskie'
witsch formed much more extended de.
signs, and it is possible that his plan OF
operations against Turkey is that which
the Russians are now executing They
succeeded in forcing the passes of the Su'
ganlook, which are in fact concentric AL
pine ranges, scarcely less difficult of pas
sage than the Swiss passes, and much less
peopled or known; and thus they reach-
ed Erzeroum, which is incapable of de-
fence against numerous army. A COM
mander in possession of the plateau OF
Ei zeroum may turn his forces at pleasure
against any part of Asia. Paskiewitsch
might, ifhe had possessed sufficient force
in 1929, have descended upon Trebizond
by way of Raivurt, which is eighty-two
miles from the former city; but here he
was checked by the extrem9 difficulty OF
crossing the Giaour Daug and by the
slenderness of his own resources. The
warlike tribes of Adschara and Lazi at
that time signally repulsed every attempt
of the Russians to invade their country;
the Christian invaders were repulsed, and
at the first retrograde movement of the
Russians the whole Mohammedan popu-
lation rose. Peace was shortly afterWard
concluded, and the acquisitions of Russia
were confined to the PBshalik of Akhalt'
xix. General Monteith observes with
truth that in those campaigns the Rus
sian forces were quite inadequate to the
task assigned to them. Deibitsch reach
ed Adrianople with only $4,000 or 10000
men; Paskiewitsch could barely maintain
his position in Asia with 15OOO.-[Edin

the earth is exactly between 1t and the
sun; it is therefore much nearer to us now
than when in other parts of its course.
In little less than a year IL will be seven
times as far from us as 1t now Is, and
scarcely visible. Both Mars and Saturn,
like the Earth and other planets, move
around the sun in an easterly direction;
vet were we to watch their positions rela'
tive to the fixed stars, we would find that
they are now apparently moving west
ward. This is due to the fact that the
earth, being nearer to the un,and there
fore more strongly attracted by it moves
more rapidly than Mars or Saturn; these
planets, therefore. will appear to fall back
though moving in the same direction as
the earth. This retrograde mCyOinent is
common to all the planets whose paths
lie outside the earth Mars will move
northward until October 5, when he will
become stationary and then move east

DREADFUL FATE OLA BOY.

has never occurred. Some workmen were

means of derrick, and had got the
stone in position to be dropped, and let
60 the power, when boy named Date
Sabin, about twelve years of age, goi
caught in the rope spool and was dragged
into the cole head foremost, The stone
two tons in weight, had just started, and
nothing could prevent the calamity. The
spool whirled thirteen times, wrapping
the rope as many times about the boys
body, crushing every bone, except in one
leg from the knee down, The weight oi
the stone was upon each coil and of course
death was caused instantly. 1t took some
time to getthe rope off 70.

like the moon,is now nearly illuminated,
so that it is an object easily detected.
Turning toward the South, we see, about
8 O'Clock a littleto the west of south, and
at altitude ofabouttWenty-two degrees,
the king Of planets, the brilliant Jupiter,
now at distance of 460,000000 miles.

as to readily attract attention. About
four degrees above Mars, to the north, is
Saturn, shining with a blush tint, and
having an apparent diameter Of about
