BERLIN, Feb. 15.-It is reported here-and the report is generally credited-that Russia
 is anxious to act with the powers in a settle ment of the Bulgarian question without de- lay. Should she be successful ill persua6ing the powers to enter into such an arrangement the settlement arrived at will inevitably in- volve the ahdication of Prince Ferdinand, and not unlikely result in the election of a Russian prince as his successor. By many it is believed that even Austl ia would consent to such a settlement if it could be made to appear as a voluntary concession on the part of the powers rather thrn an act of deference to the demands of Russia, performed with view of placating the czar's government

Expeliing Austrian Subj,

VIENNA, Feb. 15.-The expulsion by the Russian government of Austrian subjects from Poland without explanation or indemnifica- tion for the confiscation of their property or abandonment of profitable pursuits con- tiaues, and increases rather than diminishes in extent. Large numbers of Austrians had settled in Russian Poland, many of whom had established themselves in lucra- tive business enterprises, and become pos sessed of real and personal property of large aggregate value. Of course a very small percentage of this property can be taken away by the unfortunates, who are hur ried across the border without warning or ex- planation, and thousands of these people find themselves reduced from comparative afflu- encc to the verge of starvation.

Comfort for Weak Hearts.


 When young man is down in the valley of humiliation because he has failed in some cherished undertaking and ill despair argues the likelihood of becoming failure alto gether. I would suggest to him to look away from himself for Q while to other lives and study their successes and failures.
 When young woman with her first great heaptache and disappa paintment wishes she was dead because all future life will he of no aa- account to her, let her do the same. When ! zee these dear, brave young hearts struggling with their disappointments I long to take tho1n by the hand and assure them out of my larger, older experience that 1t Is not so bad az they think--that it will not last forever, that life is only the sum of succession of experi- ments, successes and failures, and that all this experience means something to them of great importance in the end; that the terri ble agony of the present suffering may be, if ge will it so, the birth pains of greater suc- cess M than we have dreamed of yet.
 Dear blind young eyes, without the powaF to see what results will follow upon your i'm pulses of passion, try to see that half the world suffers as you do at times and still manages in time to be happy again.-Lucy .Hoibruok ip Herald of Health

10 get off The railroaN. Says from

will generally go and sometimes not
moro than five or six. Another inn
po,taAt matter that our people
should understand is that it SHOULD
not be 4 disposition to speculate that

but desire to build up our country
with a thrifty, Intelligent population
who are willing 20 abandon their
cold and droVg'iy homes in the ex-
IRENE northwest and corse south to

not want 20 come rs mere tenants,

After we will have once settled

wise plan Of specializing upon the

B wants to buy 10y the side of A, the
disposition Of some who occupy the
