The Future of Russia.

Not only is Russia the greatest mill
tary power in the world, but she is the
European power with the largest homo
geneous population and the greatest cx-
pansive force. ~Territorially she has the
largest empire. possessing a vast share Of
the Old World, and hers is a people full
Of patriotic and religious spirit and SO
well disciplined that all except an infini-
tesimal minority obey cbeerfully and
without question under all circum-
stances, whether good or evil, the will
Of a single man Yet, although subject
to what, with our parliamentary ideas,
we are disposed to style despotism, the
Russian people are full of spirit and of
those qualities which we consider spe-
eially Anglo-sasen-"plaicks and ..go."
Russia has absorbed with rapidity, but
with completeness, the greater part of
Central Asia. has drawn steadily nearer
and nearer to our frontier and has made
herself extremely popular with the peo-
pie she has conquered. Her policy
throughout the century has been appar-
entity fixed in object. but pursued with
patience; and while there seems to be no
reason to suppose any probability of a
speedy collision, which England will do
nothing to provoke, it is impossible for
those who are charged with the defense
Of India to shut their eyes to the posi-
bilities or even the probabilities of the
future.-Sir Charles Dixie in Fortnightly
Review.

She WAS Not Dead

In London recently a well known ar
fist of the aTnera was called in to photo
graph the body of a young lady who had
just died under peculiar md distressing
circumstances. The body was laid on a
sofa in the drawing room and presented
a singularly beautiful spectacle. The
photographer was left alone in the room
with the body and took a negative.
After inspecting it he was not satisfied
that the exposure had been sufficient,
and he tool. another. And then, to his
anazement. he discovered that the two
negatives were not alike. The body
must have moved. Not having lost all
his nerve by this extraordinary occur
renee. he took a third negative, which
was exactly like the second. He instant
ly summoned the nurse who had been in
attendance on the deceased girl, and az
ter some difficulty and delay had the
doctor fetched. To cut o long story
short, the young lady was not dead at
all. This is a true story. = Atlanta

Mice ut a womsp.s Riaht.,,rss,Ine

A certain historical mouse is said to
have been the means of rescuing a lion
caught in a snare. Hitherto the afore-
said mouse has been the only one OF his
species whose career was deemed worthy
of record. 1t will now, however, have
to divide its posthumous famis with two
other mice. whose names will be handed
down to posterity as having effeetually
dispersed a meeting of strong minded
ladies--a feat no san man or men would
have dared to attempt. This notable in
cident occurred at a meeting of the
"Women's Suffrage league" held at the
house Of a lady at Southport. Just when
some fair orator was exercising to the
full her declamatory powess in aid Of the
sacred cause, n mouse was Observed Curl
ously contemplating the scene from a
coign Of vantage on a chifonier. The
flow of ~eloquence was at once stopped
and silence fell upon the ntiresmeeting,.
n lady only vent,.ring to observe that
she had heard .that mice bit dread
fully" But when this mouse's presence
was supplemented by that of another, no
more words were wanted; o rushswas
made for the door and the meeting broke

A Question with Two sides.

Mr.. Sheppard, the president of the
Philadelphia board of education, says:
1T is, in my estimation, q mistake to
put u woman in charge Of a school. Not
that l would cast any reflection upon
those who now hold such positions, for
their duties are performed as we'll as they
can be by a woman; but in the very ma
ture of things a man would be better
qualified to hold the position, and to
bring up the pupils in the way they
should go, not only from an educational
point of view, but from u moral one as
well. A man can reason with a boy
about matters that some female teachers
would not care to talk about" But. on
the other hand, a woman can reason
with a girl about some matters that a
male teacher would not care 30 talk
about.-True Flag.

nipping the nuts off in the most whole
sale ann and flying off with them.
In the first field or meadow they dine;
with a dig or two of the powerful bill
they split off the outer covering, and
then with one moro dig open the
nut and eat the contents. They are
quickly back for more. "Hil Clip!
Rooksl' cries u mans voice, and q fine
old dog dashes over the lawn a dozen
times a day, barking his loudest to scare
them off, for if left to themselves they
| will clear the heaviest crop from the

1t is no use thinking of shooting them;
you may point a stick at them and
flourish it about as much as you like,
and it will not disturb them in the least.
A gun is q different matter; only let
them catch sight of one, and instead of
committing their robberies in an open
way, they will clatter into the trees like
hawks when they get a chance, nip off
the nuts and fly away.
The only effectual plan is to trap one.
I once saw. the experiment tried. One of
them hoped into a common trap, set
openly, only so secured that the bird
could not fly off with it. Finding him
self in trouble the rock yelled out his
note of alarm. Up the others cluttered,
cawing their loudest and dropping some
OF their plumber. All their friends round
about came to see what was the matter
and to join in the uproar. Flying round
and dashing' down to him as though to
get him out, and finding this nc use, they
were frightened out of their wits by
their comrades frantic shouts, and they
mounted high up in the air, cawing their
loudest.
When the captive had his neck twisted,
and he was spread eagled out on a stick
for his companions inspection, the bust
ness was settled; not n single rock has
been neal the place from that time. 1
have often proved the fact that shooting
some does not affect the rest in the least;

How Chamberlain Won His wife.

A story is going the rounds about
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain's recent wooing
and marriage that may interest Amer
lean readers. By a romantic c~oincident
Mr.. Chamberlain's son, Austin, played
an important part in his fathers mar
riage to Miss Endicott. The young man
had met the lady at Washington the year
before Mr.. Chamberlain went there to
negotiate the fisheries treaty. On his re-
turn he gave such glowing accounts of
Miss Endicott that his father determined
to meet the secretary's family and took
an introduction from his son for this
purpose. The sequel is known. The
spell Of fascination was cast over the
father, as it had been over the SON, and
the older gentleman, perhaps in expert
ence holder in matters Of the heart,
woed and won the lady, who is younger
than any of his children, for his BRIDE

LAND In THE WEST.
UNCLE SANS BIG FARM, WHERE THE
PLoW HAS NOT YET BEEN.

How TO Get a Home Out of It-Methods
of Obtaining n Title Under the Various
Land Acts-It Is Comparatively Easy to
Get 4sG Acres.
There are thousands of acres of vacant
land which can be had at almost a nomi-
nal price. In most instances it requires
only settlement, residence and cultiva--
ton for a few years to obtain full and
complete title to the land. The situation
is much different from what it is in the
east, where a young farmer must sun in
debt to buy a few acres Of land and be
kept in debt for years. One crop of ten
acres will pay the cost for building and
tools.
There are several ways of obtaining
title to agricultural lands. First is
under the presumption lawa. The first
requisite is to make settlement upon the
land. Settlement consists of any acts
which show the intention OF the settler
to claim the land as a presumption. 1t
may be, for instance, the building Of a
cellar, or starting the foundation of q
house, or building of a fence.
Having this settlement upon the land,
within three months the settler must file
a de%claratory statement in the United
States office and pay a fee of So. With
in two years and nine months he must
get upon the land and reside thereon for
six months. BY a decision os the land
office, it is not necessary for a party to
live upon the land until six months be-
fore he makes final proof, but he must
live there at least six months and make
final proof before thirty-three months
from the date of settlement. He mast
have cultivated a portion of the land.
In six months after establishing residence
upon the land he a prove up. He must
make application to make final proof at
the land office, and advertise in some pa
per published near the land, also name
four witnesses who are neighbors and
who are not related to him. He and two
witnesses must appear before the proper
officers on the day of making final proof
and make proof of his residence, cult
walton of the land and pay S1.25 per acre
in addition to the fees for advertising,
attorneys fees, etc.

HOMESTEAD.

ElAD
Another method of obtaining title to
land is under the homestead act. BY
this method the first requisite is the same
as under the presumption laws. A soldier
can file a soldiers homestead claim upon
the land which he intends for a home
stead six months previous to making a
settlement upon furnishing his discharge,
or other proof of his service; but n
party can have six months time to make
settlement by going before the register
and receiver OF the land office; SO this
right of the soldier mount to but very
little. Within three months after settle
ment, Homestead entry must be made and
u fec of SIG be paid the land office. The
party, should Ee no. go before the regis
ter:and receiver, must DO residing upon
the land ut the time Of making affidavit
before a clerk of court. He can If he
chooses after residing upon the land six
months, and ~cultivating it, prove up as
in the presumption and pay for the land.
Such an act is called committing a home
stead. Should lie not desire to pay for
il, however, he can live upon it five
years and then make final proof. He
need not prove up if he chooses for seven
years. Upon making final proof he has
only to pay the fees for advertising,
clerk, and q small fee to the register and
receiver, when he obtains the title for
his land. Ii he was u soldier in the war
his term of service as such can be de-
Quoted from the five years residence,
but he must reside upon the land at least
onegyear. These are all the rights the
soldier has over any other citizen in re-
spect to the homestead law. 4
A person who wishes to take up land
under both prescription and homestead
act should pre-empt first.
There is still another method of obtain
ing title to land, and that is under the
timber act. BY this method the party
must make a timber culture entry, and
show that the land is non-niineral. he
must himself be personally acquainted
with the land in order to make this aft
dayit. AT any time within one year after
making entry Of the land. and paying u
fee of Sid to the land office, he mus.
plow for the 100 acres taken, five acres OF
land. In the second year he must sow
the first five acres to o crop and break
another five acres. In the third year he
must put in tree seeds or set out trees in
the first five acres. and put a crop in the
second five acres. In the fourth year he
must put tree seeds or cuttings in the
second five acres. S
The trees must be cultivated and kept
alive. and ut the end Of eight years he
can prove up and obtain titleto 100 acres
by paying small fees. This act is a first
class law, and many citizens are awaiting
themselves of it and in good faith. Il
hardly deserves the condemnation the
late demented Sparks placed upon it.
Unmarried wemen as well as men car
avail themselves of the privileges Of
these acts.
1t will be seen that at comparatively
small expense a title can be had to 4S(
