the dash of the Gaul he unites the sobrietv of

RUssIA's 1NFER1oR1TY.

But Russian generals know not the value
of their men. Many of them learned tbe
practice of the art of war in Bulgaria. All
are educated officers, bold and brave Their
officers are confident, and inspire confidence.
and yet it must be admitted that neither
Russian generals, nor Russian officers. nor
the Russian staff possess the same cohesion.
the same science or the same experience as
those of Germany. And supposing them to
be their equals, supposing an analogous unity
of command, there would still always exist n
double inferiOrity-that arising from de-
fectiye administration and defective or in
sufficient means Of concentration. This last
point, given a general European war. is of
capital Importance, especially for Russia's
eventual allies
In France and in Germany the time neces-
saly for the mobilization of /, 900 600 of men
can be estimated to within four and twenty
hours In Russia that time is the unknown
quantity of the redOubtable problem. and
without that unknown quantity it is impos-
sible to calculate the real value of Russian
cooperation. How many days NAV be re-
qulred or how many weeks or even months.
how many hundred thousand soldiers can
be mustered in the first line, how MANY in
the second how many in reserve, ,obodv can
'Alo"SI, AOI uODOuy KNOWS now to answer
and only one thing is absolutely certain, and
this the Russian newspapers confess Rms
slas mobilization must be incomparabiy and
vastly slower than that of either Of her
neighbors. Nor could it be otherwise. with
distance infinitely greater, with RAILWAYS
less numerous, less well appointed and man
aged, Of which the majority have only a
single truck and very few have special plat !
forms for the embarkation and landing Of
horses, troops and material. These disad.
vantages cannot be contested, and they alone
are sufficient to explain why, in provision Of
events, the imperial government should have
taken those precautions along the frontiers
which have so exercised the susceptibilitias
of Austria-Hungary
This undeniable inferiority of Russia is
dangerous to her future allies At |
home Russia is safe; she may be invaded. os
she was by Charles VII and by Napoleon |
but Russia's invaders generally fare badly |
and 70 get out Of her vast territory is easier |
than to get into it, and what would be the |
fate Of western ally not prudent enough to |
adjourn its action until Russian mobiliza-
tion be entirely completed2 True. Russia's
enemies will scarcely allow her allies to select
their moment.

pleaded Rachel. LET me come some
times to see you. Let me come again

of all"
Adelinc looked earnestly at her.
Yes, l can let you come again." she
said. with you C an be friends. :"
And very early in the morning
Rachel with her banner was again at
the old house. She had waxed very
bold by this time. By what coaxing.
by what infusing of her fresh
young spirit into that stricken
heart she accomplished what she
did that morning no one can tell.
She was astonished afterward at her
own success. With skilful fingers she
re-shaped and re-trimmed an ancient
bonnet, and routed from long-closed
drawers fine old cashmere shawl
for Adeline. and then indSeed her to
get into the family carriage behind
William Guild himself, and to drive
down to see the banners given in the
church porch. and the hower-laden
procession that reverently sought the
soldiers graves.
Poor Miss Ryerson with her thin.
sorrowful. stranger face. looked more
like ghost than any the church-yard
was ever likely to see, but there was a
pulse of new life futtering in her
withered heart
Meantime. all the morning long the
neglected deed of the south pasture
lay futtering in the wind on the table
where it had been tossed. What cared
Adeline now for the gift of the land
whose precious memories had receded
faint and far into the past? But
the deed had served its purpose
all the same. 1t had taken out of her
heart its hard and sore feeling toward
her lovers family. Hen ceforth she no
longer shut herself from their neigh
borly kindness. and in Rachel she had
found both friend and a child.
How radiantly happy and beautiful
was Rachel. standing on the church
steps in the sunshine with her banner
that morning! The youth who took it
from her hand looked up at her with a
look that made her heart leap. And
as she watched him bear it away she
was glad-oh how glad!-that upon
her youth. and her love, there was no
war 10 lay its blight
A new deed of the south pasture was
made after few years; Miss Ryerson
gave it to Rachel for wedding-gift.

Something About Hay.

Most farmers have noticed that hay
rapidly wastes when handled two OF
three times in winter If they are
obliged to buy load toward spring
it does not 60 so far as that pitched
directly from their own bays or stacks
into the feed managers OF boxes. There
is doubtless considerable waste of the
finer portions of the hay, which AZ
broken off and fall on the ground dur
ing the repeated handling. But the
newly-mown hay is not packed closely
and can not be. it is so dry. 1t looks
to be more than it is. If the farmer in
spring is obliged to buy hay he should
usually feed more grain to make it 60
farther The one advantage of hay on
most farms is that it is on the prem
Uses. and it costs more to market il
than it does grain. The latter in most
places furnishes the cheaper nutri-
ment and when both have to be
bought the cheaper handling OF grain
is an argument in its favor as against
hay or coarser feed indianapolis
