PARALLELS AND WONDERS.

The business of running parallels be-
longs to the Government on tie one hand
and to the Ne,cs on the other, and we ask

Presidency and the Declaration and FRO
test is so similar on the same subjects
that we give it side by side. The com
parison is interesting if not profitable:

Family Life In the Russian Convict Settle
ment


yillage-chief was silent, and shook
his head doubtfully. The fact was, the
nearest village was ten miles away. Inc
man was satisfied with himself and his
family, satisfied with his livestock and
his crops, AID satisfied with his taxes,
and over-population was apparently the
only thing which he and his peers con-
ceiyed needed to be set right, On this
point we should remember that not near
" all the land is yet taken up, and that
many of the farms are rs large as ana
sometimes larger than, the most extern
siye German manors. Even a spoiled
American farmer would be satisfied
with such an area. In the midst of these
extensive estates, stands the spacious
LIGHTHOUSE, surrounded with barns and
sheds, which, possibly, are not large
enough. Hardly anything is large
enough for the Siberian. 1 have made
personal confirmation of this greed Tor

seen parlors where the mirrors and sofas
could be counted by the dozen. In
bright contrast with the stercotyped
complaints of the farmers concerning
the too thick population is the fact that
they are all proud of having humorous
progeny. The farmer loves his lard,
his cattle, his summer and fall, but he
loves above everything large family
while, Notwithstanding his prejudice
against strangers, he lives in the perfect
conviction that the country needs men,
and he governs his conduct accordingly,
