Government. This year, for instance,
out of a total income of 1898, 700,0 600.
he takes for his personal use -, 2S0.000
while the share of his creditors amounts
to $50. 100000.
Initiating their august master, the
Russian mobiles and other landowners,
as rule, cannot manage their estates
without resorting TO frequent loans.
In Russia there are thirteen land banks
which advance money on land guaran-
tees. Fully one-third of all private
lands of the empire are mortgaged in
these banks, and the sum due to the
banks amounts to 800, 1000, 900. The
city banks. too, of which there are in
Russia 23S, advance money on mort
cages.
Until lately he peasants were unable
to borrow money on the mortgage sys-
TEN. But about two years ago the
Government opened special land
bank for peasants. and now they owe
to that bank ABOUT 15.00O,000 roubleS.
Thus a large part of the real estate
in Russia Is mortgaged in the banks.
In their turn all the Russian banks owe
largely 70 the State Bank of the empire,
which, along with the imperial Treas
ury, is far from being able to meet the
foreign debts of Russia.
''WhO owns the Russian Empire?' /
asked OF a Russian Banker.

ply.

The secretary Of the interior has rejected
the selection Of some thirteen thousand
acres of land made by the Manitoba rail
road within Dakota Territory. The Sc
lectiOns made between the six and ten-mile
limit, are rejected because of having pre-
yiOusiy been selected as indemnity land by
the Northern Pacific, and the secretary
holds that Tie priority of selection gave
superiority of right The selections within
the six-mile limit were rejected for the rea-
son that at the date of definite location of
route the lands were in the Indian country
aud that the Indian title thereto was not
eXtingnished until long after the right Of
tie company attached.

There is pretty goo d evidence for
supposng that no less a person than
Osiris, the great god of Egypt, was
the first distiller of whiskey on record;
for the Egyptians had, from time al
most immemorial, distillation or brew
age from barley, called by the Greeks
bariev-wine, not inferior, they say, in
flavor, and superiori strength TO wine.
Allusion Is made to this liquor in sew
eral passages of ancient writers. The
poor people of Egypt drank it instead
of wine. and were wont 10 intoxicate
themselves with 1t, just As our poorer
people do with whisKey II seems also
to have been no stronger to the He
brews, for reference Is certainly made
to it in the Old Testament, under the
name of strong drink, stronger than
wine, and resOrted to by determined
drinkers for the sake of inebriation.
Among the Celta in Spain and
France Is seems to have been common
as a substitute for wine. Polybius
speaks of a certain Celtic king OF part
of Iberia or Spain who affected great
Court pomp. and had in the middle of
his hall golden and silver bowls foil of
this barley wine, of which his guests
and courtiers slipped or quaffed at their
pleasure. a custom which, it is said,
for many n century prevailed among
his Celtic descendants, the reguli chiefs
of our Scottish Highlands.

was on the tail end OF the avalanche,
ana thus rode il in salty, with nothing
coming behind to covG him up. When
he found that he had nus to be an un-

train he looked ahead TO see what had

mass, and started on life-and death
run right down tie gulch. Then fol-

man who was anchored on top of the
snow yelled at tie man in front to run.
while he who was pursued strained

The race was kept up for more than a
mile, and during the entire distance the
fellow who WAS on top kept yelling,
"Run, yOu-run' and the hair of the
fellow who was cunning held his hat

he headed for the valley. Often the
rolling snow struck the heels of his
shoes, but it did not quite get him.

hunted man dashed out into the valley,

valley, however, was more dangerous

crossed it, into which the hunted man

When the two were able TO look
around, one was lying at the bottom of

upon the crest of the snow bank that
looked over its edge.

Ice Notes for March.

The experience of many beekeepers
not all novices, is that while they can
get their bees through the winter well,
the early spring is the most trying
time. The life of the worker bee is
short at best, aud the great proportion
of those that 90 into winter quarters
die before the season is half over.
New brood must be reared to maintain
the strength of the colonies. 1t is
often fatal to success to start colonies
at work rearing brood to soon, which
is done when they are placed too early
upon the stands before the weather re-
mains continuously propitious. 1t is
better TO wait. Colonies coming
through the winteavery strong may be
trusted out earlier than weakly ones.
Warm weather will excite the bees to
activity; if this occurs unusually early,
the colonies should be kept as quiet as
possible When the red buds of the
Soft Maple put forth. the bees. as a
rule, may be safely released from their
Imprisonment. Queens are liable to
disease and death. and it happens that
sometimes a colony is without a queen.
In such case It may well be united
with weak one that has a queen,
If both, after close examination, prove

Learning the Dairy business.

In the absence of dairy schools in
this country, similar TO those now in
operation in England Ireland, and
Denmark, the young man or woman
who desires to learn the art of cheese
and butter-making, and care of stock,
must put their wits to work TO find the
best way to acquire these accomplish
ments. There are many experiment
farms throughout this country, where
students are taken, and where at cost
of little more than board and lodg-
ing, they may acquire a very fair amount
Of dairy knowledge. The very best
school, however, is the farm where
the commercial dairy is prohtably con-
Quoted. That is the place to learn TO
succeed, and the most difficult in which
to find employment. The student
must have no fear of work, or the pro-
prietor will not want him, nor will he
suit the business.

The celebrated Belgian colony of the
insane at Gheel has nothing in its ex-
ternal appearance suggestive of the
ordinary lunatic asylum; its inhabi-
tants give no superficial indications
that a large proportion of them are
madmen. If one would conceive what
Gheel is, he must imagine a town of
five or six thousand souls, in no way
different from other towns of like I'M
portance. surrounded by a number of
hamlets containing altogether, perhaps,
about as many more inhabitants.
These people have been. from a very
remote period. in the habit of taking
insane persons to board in their houses.
The lunatics live in constant contact
with the family of their host. They

INFLUENCE.



We feel 1t IN the breath of heautsous
spring,
And in the notes of birds that sweetly ring
Throughout the air, perfumed by floral
scents;
So rise, as softly too, our best intents
AS though infused into the essence rare.
Thus of its subtitle mysteries to share
With summer days hearts warm to dear
behests,
As DER the brighter scenes glad vision
rests;
The spell of wondrOus power hangs over
earth,
Nor think we more of its foregoing death
And when the glory Of the autumn CLEANS
Resplendent on the world, so influence
seems.
To lift the soul to still higher ken,
Aud give the tongue of angels unto men
To praise the Lord of beauty and of might
His everlasting pleasure and His right
BY swifter light, we see the mansions fair
Which He has said, SO go thus to prepare
We know the influence which the seasons
hold.
And human hearts for US the same enfold
We feel the silent action TO our good
While we obey the spirit as we should;
O Holy Power! so guide Us in Thy way
That we may lead souls upward every day
