driver recognized FOR the first time that
he knew US, and commenced pleasant
conversation. Among other things he
told us all about a deaf and mute Indian
Doctor that they have down in the Bruce

HE stopped at our place about a
month or six weeks ago, said the driver
"and did all his communicating with pen

The game OF bail as announced TO be
played last Saturday between the Deltas

Deltas.
Although the Scotch Hin club wa

The Deltas did not play, but scrub

xxKspAPkRs OF TO-DAY:

NEWSPAPERS OF TODAY
People generally, and even those who
may be termed steady readers and
close observers, have but q faint con.
csptien Of the magnitude and influence
tho press Of this country has attained.
From careful examination ut the ad.
vance pages of the 1885 edition of the
American Newspaper Directory, issued
May lst, by Geo. p. Roweli & TO-, Q!
New York, it appears that there are
14,147 newspapers and periodicals pub.
lished in the United States and Cana
da; Of these the United States has l.,
073. m average of one papor for every
1867 persons. In 1884 the total mum.
Der Of newspapers was less by 823 than
at present, aud while the gain this year
Is not so marked as IN some previous
years, it is still considerable. Kansas
shows tho greatest increase, the num-
ber being IS, whi!o Illinois follows
with gain of II. 1t is curious to ne-
tice that New York, the scene Of 10
much political activity during the last
campaign, should have only about one
third as many new papers rs Pennsyl'
vaui:I. AS IN index to the c"mpara-
tive growth and prosperity Of differ~nt
sections Of the country, especially the
Territories, the number ut new papers
forms an interesting study, and may
we'll occupy the attention OF tho Gu

HA&A T.:

i
The following concerning Herat. the |
gateway, or the Key, to Indi" on the
north. is from De.n0rest's Monthly.
and will be read with interest now, as
it will no doubt again be the center of
mighty conflict:
But tho eyes of the CIVILIZED world
are now directed to Central Asin.-|
Within the last ten years the Russian
armies have overrun the vast plateau
from which issued the Aryan race, the
same mighty breed Of men which has
from time tU time repeatedly conquered
the rest of the world. A study ot Ian.
xuage has proved that the Hlndoo anu
,he European have come from one
common stock, whose birthplace TO-
! day is controlled by the forces OF the
car. From its base on the Caspian
| s II the Russian armies have marched
steadily southwark. until now It's out.
! posts are within.striking distances OF
fierat. This is one Of the most in,por-
tant places on tile map Of the world
It was contended tor by mighty armies
long before the beginning Of recerded
history. This is shown by its defensive
| works which are Ut great extent and
magnitude, but of the construction OF
which ne record has come down to US.
When various waves of Aryan inva-
sion moved southwark, Herat was first
seiz,:d. n3 it was the key to the military
possession of India. Should it fall ln-
to tho hands of Russia, that event
would mark the beginning of the end
Of British rule over HimdOstan. Weak
rs she is in military sense compared
with other nations. Great Britain
would risk a war with any other power
against heavy odds rather than allow
Herat to come into the possession oI
the Muscovite. The war may be post
poned, but come it will, for uerat is of
vial Importance to Russia from Il
trade point OF view. That city is now
the gateway through which pours the
commerce Of Great Britain with Cen
trail Asia. British goods worth thirty
million dollars are annually distributed
to those parts of the Asiatic continent
now under the dominion of Russia
This great trade the Muscovite auth
critics would like to secure for theil
own manufacturers. Hence every con
. siieration Of power and interest lmpeE
Russia to obtain possession OF tn
gateway to tho Indies. The countr!
about Herat too is exceeding fertile
and would support an army of a hun
lred thousand men.
