Electric VS.. Gas LI.ht.

An English manufacturer has made a
comparison Of the relative cost of gas and
electric lights, and finds, by comparing the
actual worli'., expenses of the two
methods over several years time, that the
electric light has the advantage, everything
considered, by more than hundred per
cent.-NeW York Telegram

Amusement That Requires Physical Skill

Athletic amusements, for the most part,
seem very easy, nevertheless all require
patience and practice before the pleasant
part comes. If ever one is near despair it
is when wretched bicycle wobbles about
under you rs you bes 5ride it for the first
and second and third and many further
times 1t doesn't help you bit to have
somebody on either side of you clutching
the handle to keep you safe. Besides, they
always run away when you, bicycle and
all, are just fallmg-because, they say, they
don't care to be kicked to death by the
iron mule. In tennis it is just the same.
The racquet seems to be as unfit and
clumsy an object to hit bali with as would
be a chimney pot. And what figure one
cuts, with ones gawky movements, and
red, angry face while one is learningi Yet,
a little practice and stubbornness-polibely
called perseverance-get over all this, and
tennis and cycling are worth taking seme
trouble with.

LONDON, June A Petersburg cor
respondent gives a pitiable account of
destitution prevailing in the districts of
Kazan, Simboisk, Samara, Nizhai, Noh-

sons have died of hunger in the past
five weeks. The peasants in Simboisk
and Samara districts revolted and at
tackled the corn magazines. A number
of conflicts occurred between the peas
and the troops in which several persons
were killed and many injured. The
gloomy harvest prospects have increased
the horror of the situation
