Cost of Outstanding Turkey.

In the great effort to ameliorate the
condition of the Christians in Turkey it
is said that Russia has expended 9100,-
100000. This "demnition total" as
Mr.. Mantilinl would say, is $500, 900, 900
in the money of the United States. The
entire population of Russia is 80, 000,-
900, and this war debt is tax of over
SIS per capita. When it is understood
that Russia had crushing debt before
entering upoh this last enterprise, and
when it is known that more than half
of the barbarians OF Russia could not
scare up So if their lives depend ed upon
it, a faint idea of the financial condition
of that distinguished empire may be
had. Instead of threatening to anchor
ate the condition of Christians in En-
gland, the Gar should file a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy, and cause the
usual notice to be inserted In the news
papers to the effect that his assets are
greatly in excess of his liabilities. Bal

Lord John Russell, by which name he
first acquired eminence outside of En-
gland as one Of the leading statesmen OF
the world, of late years Earl Russell. is
dead. He was born in 1892, just as the
storm of revolution broke in France
which signaled her new departure to-
ward the great West of politics-Repub-
licanism-and gave birth to more re-
markable dynasty than that of the
Caesars, or any that ever ruled the world,
the dynasty of Napoleon. Had he lived
till the 9th Of August next he would
have been So years of age. He first en-
tered Parliament in 1918, at the age of
FL. His most assiduous labors for many
years were in behalf OF parliamentary
reforms. He participated in the debates
and excitements that convulsed England
in the era OF the Corn laws. Lord Rus
sell derived none OF his prominence as a
parliamentary leader from personal ad-
vantages, which he totally lacked. I'm
dignited in bearing, without great or
noticeable presence, diminutiye in stat
ure, being but five feet two inches in
height, slovenly in his carriage, he i'm
pressed no one favorably till there was a
significance reached which had it's
hiding under the surface, and was more
than skin deep. Although measuring
his powers OF debate nightly with the
great Tory leaders, in which he had
always his measure of success. vet as a
speaker he never was effective. He
owed his prominence to traits which
were not derived from the schools, but
were inherent and peculiar. Of these,
shrewdness, from the partisan stand
point, was chief. He has participated
in every measure of prominence that has
occupied the British Parliament during
the present century, has crossed swords
With all the great Tory leaders from
Castlereagh down. He has twice been
Prime Minister, and has had conferred
upon him the honor rarely bestowed
upon younger son-of seat in the
House OF Lords.

Gun.COtton in Warfare.

According to our Woolwich CORE
spondent, another US las ee uud
for gun-cOtton warfare lao l-ve4 ex-
plosive is to be employed for disabling
guns of the enemy. 1t is to take the
place, in fact, of the spike and the ar
morer's hammer. A slab of gur-cotton,
simply laid upon the muzzle of q gun
and detonated, 80 Injuries and distorts the
weapon as to render it practically USE
less for firing, while in the case of a
muZZle-l loader it at once precludes any
attempt to load the gun. The old plan,
1t may be remembered, of rendering an
enemy's guns useless after storming a
battery was to spike them by driving
an armorer's nail into the vent or touch
hole, and then, in the event of the at
lacking party being driven out OF the
battery again, or retiring, the weapons
could not be used against them-at any
rate for time. The rapid iniuring of a
gun by means of gun-cotton in the way
now suggested will prevent the cannon
ever being employed again; but this is,
after all, a questionable advantage, for
in the case of spiked gun, if the enemy
can use it once more on the subsequent
boring out OF the spike, so also may the
storming party should they prove strong
enough to hold the position. This is
not the first application that has been
made of gun-cotton for purposes of de-
struction before the enemy. A new
body of men termed cavalry pioneers,
first created by the Austrians, and now
adopted into the British army, are to
employ charges of gun-cotton in a SINH
lar way for breaking railway lines and
destroying bridges quickly. The
trooper, mounted on strong and rapid
horse, is provided with belt containing
few pounds OF compressed gun cotton,
and on arriving at a railway he dis
mounts and places charge upon one of
the rails. The gun-cotton is detonated
with fuse, and the result is that half a
yard of metal is seen flying over the
next hedge. Probably not more than
sixty seconds are necessary to work the
mischief, but the man is up and away
before the explosion can take place. In
the case of bridges, the work is natural
ly of longer duration, but two or three
intelligent men would not be long in dis
covering weak point in the structure
and adjusting their charges so as to do
the greatest amount of harm. -Loadon

The Friend of His Youth.

Beverly Smith walked out of cell No.
6 with the greatest promptness, and, as
he ranged before the desk and smiled,
he said:
"Well, this is indeed q surprise
Why, hadn't the remotest idea of find
ing you here Shake, old fellow!'
His Honor wouldn't.
"Don't you remember your old
schoolmate, Bev Smith ?" inquired the
prisoner. "Don't you remember how
we used to steal melons together-how
we both went over the milldam in an old
boat-how we read novels under the lee
side of haystacks?"
A strange light crept into his Honor's
eyes as he replieC:
"Ah I remember you now! So
you are Bev Smith ?"
81 ami am. I thought you'd re-
member me. I'm awful glad to see
you, Judge. Are you well?"
"Quite well, thank you
An awkward silence followed. Mr..
Smith heard the boys chuckling, and he
at length said:
"Glad to hear it-yes-yes. I should
like to call on you and talk over old
times"
"Beverly Smith !" said the court, in a
voice resembling the distant explosion
of coal-cart, "you are now about to
call on the Superintendent of the House
OF Correction, there to remain for ninety
long days "
What! sentence an old companion %
Cali the same, Beverly-all the same.
The friends of my childhood are few in
number. They are falling down stairs,
being drowned, blown up, and run over,
and I'm going to put you where you will
be safe from accident! p
"Don't, Judge!'
"But I will prize you. Beverly.
When night comes I want to know that
you are in out of the wet, and when
morning dawns I want to feel that you
are safe from the clutch of ice wagons.
The sentence is recorded"
"Judge, I-I-don't think I ever
knew you !" stammered Beverly, but
there was light in the window for him.

find sign or trace of it. I have often

Asquare of sunlight on the floor.

happy child with heavenly hair,
To whom the world is more and more.
He sees the blue fly beat the pane,
Buzzlng away the noontide hours

Ane peetIes, ana the beads or rain.
he sees the graveled walks below.

The light that like an emerald shines.
The small bird hopping to and fro.

They fill the thoughts with silent Joy:
But now he spies late-dropped toy,
Ana ali his noisy pranks begin.
They bear him to an upper room
when comes the eve; he huns for me-

Sleep on, and dream, We blessed pair.
