Across Siberia by Rail.

For many years q railroad across Siberia
has been projected, and now, according to
a semi-official announcement from St
Petersburg, the undertaking is really to be
begun. In view of the circumstances it is
matter Of surprise that the work has been
so long delayed. No great engineering diff
culties will be encountered, and the advan-
tages both military and commercial of rail-
road communication between the two ex-
tremities OF the Russian empire can scarcely
be overestimatad
ing citadels of ocean commerce viii be in
vaded. At present, the rich trade Of the
Pacific coasts of Asia is handled by shippers
But transcontinental railroad route across
Asia would prove formidable competitor.
Shanghai is about forty days from London
by steamship schedule time. By rail, through
Siberia, this period would be shortened almost
one-half 1t is announced that the journey
from ST. Petersburg to Eladivostock will be
made in fifteen days. From seven to ten
DAYS would be liberal allowance of time in
which to complete the trip from the English
TO the Chinese metropolis, so that very con-
siderable saving of time would be made
The same would be true also, Of the entire
trade Of Japan with Europe, as Vladivo-
stock is as near TO japanese ports as is Shang-
hai. By railroad, therefore, passengers and
goods from London might be taken TO Yoke
hama in twenty-five or thirty days, instead
OF forty-fve or fifty, as now.-New York

My earliest recollections are connected with
the rod, fguratively speaking-the rod which
represents the switch, the horsewhip, the raw
hide and the fat of the human hand; all the
implements of punishment used in those days
Tor bringing up children.
It was a community deeply moral in its
tone and exacting in lis demands Levitv,
frivolity, license Of any kind, were not toler-
ated. Solomon's teaching that ''he that spar
eth the rod hateth his son, but he that loveta
him chasteneth him betimes was literally
interpreted and applied by parents and teach
ers. 1t was as much portion of the relig-
ious training of children as the learning OF
the catechism or the partaking Of the com

enced by cuffs, spanlis, slaps, switchings,
rawhidings, beatings without number. The

does infinite mischief; it made of me both a
liar and a coward. Sensitive to pain. I
would vehemently deny some trivial offense
to avert an expected punishment. and thus
was guilty of both cowardice and falsehood
] believe that more characters have been
warped in youth from the prevalence of the
brutality Of the rod than from all other
Elalign causes.
1t is a curious fact that my father and
mother were people possessed Of infinite ten
derness- Neither Of them would intention
ally injure the feelings of any human being:
it was only in the application of the rod to
their own children that they exhibited bru-
tally. Even this brutality was of a religious
origin, and was applied as a matter Of duty.

Another popularity Of that community in
regard 70 the treatment of children was the
extreme responsiveness exercised toward
them. They were forced rigidly into the
background. children may be seen but
not heard, was a permanent citation, with
the result that each child became possessed
with a conviction of entire unworthiness.
