is further confirmed to-day and
generally attributed to the report
of the ministers on the financial,
military and internal state of the
empire, which are said to produce
the impression that the country
should be spared further ordeals, II
it is possible to avoid them without
downright humiliation. The lead
ing idea of Russia in resuming the
negotiations seems to have been to
show her readiness to make far
reaching concessions in the sub
stance of the San Stefano treaty.
both as regards Europe and Asia, if
not pressed to hard on aquestion of
principle as to recognizing the nee
essity of the valuation of the trea-
ty by congress. 1t is probable that
Russia has gone so far to specify
concessions she is willing to grant.
A Belgrade dispatch says the at
titude of the Servian people is in
creasingly menacing. They are
entirely averse to another alliance
with Russia.
st. PeterSburgh, May 5.-The
Agenae Russo says much better
impression prevails respecting the
prospect of negotiations. The ru-
mored approaching arrival of Count
Schouvaloff here on visit is con-
nected with n friendly exchange Of
views resulting from the pour par
lers between London and st. Pc
tershurgh.
The Turks have not even deem
ed the offer which the Russians APP
parently made, to retire beyond
Ichataldt, sufficient compensation
for the evacuation Of the fortresses.
They point to other untitled treaty
stipulations, such as the non-return
of the Ottoman prisoners and con-
slant reinforcement of the Russian
army. only sick and wounded being
sent homeward, and allege that part
of the Russian Asiatic army has al
ready landed at Burgas. The
Turks are unlikely to yield easily
in regard to the fortresses.
London, May 5.-The British
Government has ordered a million
pounds weight of lint and other
appliances for the wounded.

The Telephone.

There is no account eXtant OF
how the telephone acts when under
fire. The destruction of the Free
Press building gave the little in
strument fiery ordeal to pass
through. The telephone in the
editorial rooms communicates with
the residence of the Managing Ed
itor, VIM. f. Quinby, No. ~ JEFF
ferson avenue, a mile and a half
from the newspaper office. When
the fire struck the editorial rooms,
the bell at Mr.. Quinby's residence
began to ring violently. As the
fire increased in intensity the ring
ing of the bell became more impet-
uous, pealing in gusts as the fire
seemed to surge around the com
panion bell in the burning build
ing. 1t was an embodiment of
Poe's lines on "The Bells" where
the rising and the quelling of the
fire could be calculated by the ris-
ing and the falling of the anger of
the bells. At last the clamor of the
telephone bell became unbearable
to those in the room and the bell
was mufIied with cotton which
partly stopped the alarm. But
here the strangest part of the tele-
phones action comes in. From the
speaking tube, came the roar of
fire, and it would seem that the
swish of the water from the engine,
and the pouring of the foods from
the roof could be plainly heard.
The cracking of the burning tim
bers and at last the crash of floors
and falling partition came and ev-
cry sound of the conAagration in
all its infections faithfully repro
duced, and the sudden stoppage of
all sound showed that communica-
ton was broken and the voice of
the wonderful instrument stilled
by the scorching fiames.-Free

The Russians have made sever

Shumla, and Varna, but the Turks
refuse to give up the places until
the Russians evacuate the vicinity
of Constantinople. At Batoum,
the inhabitants refuse to submit to

London, April 29.-As an exper-
iment of State policy, the dispatch
of Indian troops to Europe has
proved successful beyond the hopes
of the most ardent advocates of
the measure. The native soldiers
appear completely captivated at
the prospect of being engaged in
military service in Europe. They
are volunteering to cross the seas
with an enthusiasm which has sur
prised even those who know them
best. They are pressing forward
in whole regiments at time. The
troops who returned from Bermuda
only six weeks ago and who were
three years in that country, are
said to be delighted by the thought
that they are going to some place
near England to fight the Russians

PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY,
FARMERS CLUBS.

We hear Of the organization of more than
the usual number of farmers clubs. But
there is room and use for twice as many
more. All the courts of the country have
been turned into debating clubs for the i'm
provement of the lawyers, and they are thus
at heavy expense to the farmers, preparing
themselves for prompt debaters. The farm
ers will never have their rights in legisla-
ton until they are prepared to demand it.
Neither the old man on the farm or his son
IN school has any eXcuse to stay away from
these valuable nurseries of learning and
schools OF preparation for the great foren-
Sic fields o. fife. The old and effete saying
that "an old dog cannot learn a new
trick" is IN no sense applicable to the hui
man race, and it is only quoted by the igno-
rant and thoughtless.
There stands before every reader of histo-
ry. thousands of cases not only to refute the
idea that men are too old to learn but to
prompt them to make their last days their
best days in ripe wisdom and good works.
Cato commenced the study of the Greek
language after he was lightweight, and be-
came a fine hnguistin the language. Plu-
tarcll commenced and finished the Latin af-
ter lie was seventy-eight, and Ludivious
wrote the history of his times after lie was
one hundred and fifteen years old. Frank
lin did not begin his philosophical studies
until he was fifty years old. And there are
hundreds of cases where men have learned
the lessons in old age by which they nave
attained to emincncc in the world. Then
let no one say he is too old to take part in
these clubs, or too old to learn. A large
ilasS OF mankind go into decrepitude and
imbecility prematurely by negleeting to ex-
ercise their minds.
There are frequent cases where men of
eighty years are our best and ~clearest head
ed judges. They have lived lives of mental
action and have thus retained all their brill
lance in thought to green old age. If you
Nisl, to retain the Use Of the limbs, walk ev-
cry day, and ii the mind is to be kept vigor-
Gus it must be used in closely investigating
legitimate questions. Second childhood
comes much sooner to the idle minded.
Then as the farmer, old or young, is called
on by his new position in the commercial,
political and industrial world, to assume
new and responsible positions, let him use
every agency TO prepare himself. We must
be able to meet other professions andindus-
tries in the market and the farm, or settle
down to a greatly subordinate position in

Why Women Should Read.

Laying aside the thought OF our
own rest and comfort, let us look
higher. For the children's sake we
must make the most of ourselves.
Many an unselflsh mother has said.
"Oh, 1 cannot take all this time, there
are so many things to do for the chill
dren.' She does not realize that she
may do more for them in the end by
cultivating herself than il she spends
all her time on clothes and cooking.
A generosity which makes the recipi-
ent weak or selfish Is not blessing
but curse. Have you not seen
grown-up SONS who snubbed their
mothers opinions in the same breath
with which they called her to bring
their slippers? The meek little wom-
an has "trotted around" to wait on
them so long that they have come to
think that that is all she Is good for.
Their sisters keep Ma" In the back
ground because she "hasn't bit OF
STYLE" and is $50 uncultiva,eG," for
getting that she has always worn
shabby clothes that they might wear
fine ones; that her hands have be-
come horny with hard work that
theirs might be kept soft and white
for the piano, and that she has denied
herself books and leisure that they
might have both. And there are 9TH
er children, too noble for such base
ingratitude, who feel keen though
secret sense of lossas they kiss the
dear withered cheek and think how
much more of a woman mother"
might have been il she had not shut
herself away from the culture and
sweet companionship OF books

Hard Times the Best for Young Men
Just Starting.


Young men coming upon the stage
OF active life during the present hard
times are much more likely to be
permanently successful than those
who made their advent in business
during the period OF imitation, OF high
prices, and of fabulous nominal prof.
its. The great reason OF this is that
young men who begin now, from ne
cessity, form their business manage
ment and personal habits on princi-
Piles OF rigid economy. These in the
long run tell so powerfully as to make,
in many cases, the difference between
failure and success.
Men who began when everything
was at the top, find it very embarrass-
ing to come down and adapt them
selves and their business to the
times that try mems purses, as war is
said to try their souls, whereas, those
who commence when economy is the
order OF the day experience no diff
Guilty whatever in starting upon an
economical basis, and, once started,
it will be easy to adhere to it.
So that, for young men just en-
barking for themselves. we may al
most assert the paradox that bad
times are the best.-NelU York Ledger.
