He VIII Unite Russia with the Pacific
Ocean with Bands of Steel and Open to
the World Vast Territories Now Out Of
Reach.
From the time when John C. Fremont
recommended a railroad to the Pacific coast
to 1864, when ground was broken at Omaha
for the Union Pacific railroad, Americans
looked forward to the uniting of the At
lantic and Pacific by rail. And now, a quar-
ter OF a century after the laying of the first
spike of the road which brought about the
desired result, the Russians are projecting a
road which will also join the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, not from east to west but
from west to east When the Russian road
through Siberia is built the globe will be
circled, SO far as its land will admit. by
rails. The tourist starting from New York
may go west by rail to San Fran
cisco; thence by sea to VladivoStock
on the east coast Of Siberia; thence by rail
through Irkutsk, Perm, Kasan, Moscow,
Warsaw, Dresden, Paris and Liverpool,
where he may ship for New York. Thus the
circumnavigation of the globe will be COM
pleted by traversing two oceans by ship and
two continents by rail-
If we look far enough into the future we
may fancy branch of the Northern Pacific
railroad running through British Columbia
and Alaska to Behring straits, and meeting
the Russian road on the opposite side of the
strait. This would leave for water naviga-
ton around the earth only about 8, 600 out of,
say, 1000 miles.
A connection between Russia, in Europe,
and the Pacific ocean has long been dis
cussed, and recently steps have been taken to
build at least part of a road which may
eventually make the desired connection.
Siberia, over which the road will lay, is
capable of being made very productive, and
there is no better means of opening any coun-
try than by building a railroad through it.
In Siberia there are lands for agriculture, for
stock raising and for the production Of min
erals, besides her supply of furs and fish.
The portions of the Siberian road which
will doubtless be built first are those which
will supplement sections open to river navi-
cation. This requires the building of the
sections from Vladivostok to the mouth of
the Usuri, from Chita to the Selenga, and
from Irkutsk to Jomsk. The last section is
necessary, as the Upper Tunjuska would not
be available without considerable pains to
make it so.
1t is expected that even this opening Of
communication will have a marked effect.
The territories of Tobolsk and Tomsk con-
tain the principal portion Of the manufac-
lures of Siberia. They have $500 factories
and employ Il, 500 hands The coast pro-
vinces are so remote as to be entirely cut
off from Russia They constitute rich
country, and it is desirable to the Russian
government to unite it with Russia.
The railway when completed will also be
benefit in the transportation of goods which
come from China. A considerable amount
Of Chinese merchandise is at present trans
ported from China, overland, of which tea
is the most important. This trade is increas-
ing The expense, however. is very great,

A Plea for the Mother-ln-Law.

Perhaps to-day there is no relation
in life in which a woman is so persis-
| tently abused and misunderstood as in
that to her daughters husband. II
has been made the theme of the jest
book, the circus clown, and the topical
[ songster and nausem. In the vulgar
and witless warning against lrnatrimo-
ny. sung by Nadjy, it is encouraging
to note that the hit at "mother-in-law'
extracts only !. sickly smile from the
audience. No doubt this is due to tt g
staleness of the subject quite as much
as its false sentiment, but let us hope
it marks a revulsion in public taste,
Notwithstanding that fair pride Amelie
Rives, who makes Herod say:
Methinks that Satan was a married
man. and his wi:e's mother egged him
to rebel, seeing that heaven would not
hold them both.
People..are beginning to find out that
when man vilifies his mother-ln-law
/ it is generally safe to assume that he
ill treats his wife. A young girl,
when she mafries, takes it for granted
that her huband's love and devotion
will continue to be hers as much as the
her wider observation and perhaps
bitter experience, is full of vague fears
and alarm, When her daughter stood
at the altar she trembled. She was
losing not only her child, but her
power of lnsuring that ch1ld's happi-
pess. Her maternal eye as keen as an
eagles. seeks to pierce the future; but
no. she mus: fold her brooding wings
and wait with beating heart to learn
if this marriage meant the highest
happiness or the greatest misery that
comes to woman.
In the former case the mother joy
ously feels she has not been robbed OF
a daughter, but has been given SOD.
Her heart turns in gratitude and love
to the man in W hose hands her daug-
ter's lot is secure; indeed, it is doubtful
if she feels more tenderness for her son.
AS to the young husband, he re-
CARDS with reverence the filial affect
ion the mother of the woman he ador-
es, and who has made her what she
is.
On the other hand, what intolerable
anguish comes to that mother who,
condemned to see the child she has SO
tenderly reared, so carefully sheltered
from every rough wind and word, now
the victim, or the servant, of man
whose "love" expired with possession,
and whose cruelty or neglect is sap
ping the life of the young wife. Ifthe
mother interposes to reason, remon-
strate, or save her daughter, the food
gates of abuse are opened, and in that
portion of society in which the master
of ceremonies is the police justice he
accepts the excuse of" "mother-in-law,'
when he should ask, why was she
driven TO interfere?"
Of course there are weak, foolish and
even tyrannical women who would
like to rule their sons-in-law as they
do their husbands, with mysteries or
rods of iron, but these are tie excep-
tions, not the rule. which should per-
init large class of women mothers in
the first place to b ccome q target for
cheap wit and excuse for marital bru-
tality.-NeU York Press.

An Incident of Forgetfulness.

A great many people are troubled
with what may be called "habitual
forgetfulness" in regard to some of the.
minor points of daily life, manifested,
perhaps, in their inability to recall the
names of those With whose faces they
are perfectly familiar, or the number
of their house, or the street upon which
they reside; while others are seized at
times with temporary amnesic apha-
STA, scientifically speaking, upon
endeavoring to state some fact which
they literally have at the tongues
end" but it is seldom the latter trouble
is manifested in such peculiar direc-
ton as in case which came under my
observation few days since. While
propounding the usual preliminary
questions to a woman who had pre-
sented her 2-year-old daughter for
treatment, when ! inquired the name
of the child, she hesitated, and then,
to my surprise, she admitted that she
was unable to remember it. She then
stated the child's age and the number
of her residence correctly, but could
not recall that name until, after the
lapse of several minutes, in endeavor-
ing to soothe the child, the name
sprang naturally to her lips. This
mothers forgetfulness upon such
matter as the name Of her own child
is as astonishing as the absence of
mind exhibited by prominent ply
sician Of this city, who, upon meeting
his own daughter on the street,
politely inquired after the health Of
both herself and her parents. Ply

The following brief description o.
the different forms of the cross may
prove helpful. The Latin cross is one
the transverse beam of which is placed
at one-third the distance from the tor
OF the perpendicular portion; this Is
probably the one on which Christ sui.
fered, and it is used as an emblem OF
sorrow-the cross of the passion, and
as reminder of the atonement.
The Greek cross has four equal arms,
representing the gospel preached to
the four quarters of the earth by the
four evangelists.
The Maltese cross is formed of four
arrow heads meeting at the points, the
badge of the knights of Malta. The
eight points of this form of the cross
are said to symbolic the eight beati-
tudes.
The Cross of Calvary is a cross on
three steps. which are supposed to
signify the three virtu.s-faith, hope
and charity, and is the kind always
found on the affairs of churches Then
we have tho Cross of Constantine,
which is simply monogram of the
first two Greek letters of the word
Christ. Youths Companion.
