THE RUSSIAN VERSION.

Sr, PErERsHuRG, oct. 22.--Thc official
messenger publishes the first authorita-
tive version of the Russian capture
Of sealing vessels in the Pacific
ocean, This paper declares that six
vessels were seized at points eighteen
or twenty miles distant from the Rus
sian coast-not from thirty TO forty
miles, as has been asserted. The cap
lures were nearly all made outside OF
the territorial water boundary. This is
explained bv the fact that the scalcrs,
seeing the Russian cruisers approaching,

thing like an hour and a half Only
the vessels, logs charts, etc, by which
it was proved that they had been scaling
i'll Russian waters, were seized.
Three OF the vessels captured were re
leased wish warning. The conduct OF
the Russian officers was hlamelcsS The
British flag was not insultcd it was
only hauled down and replaced by Rus
sian colors after the vessels had beer
seized, The crew of the captured YES
sells were well treated, but whcr
they became quarrclsome and insulting
to the Russian officers, order had to bt
restored by force OF arms. The otlicia
messenger says that the poor catch o
seals on Copper lsland is due to the fact
that the rockericS have been DESTROYED
by Scalcrs, especially English.

Most women in taking up the burden Of
housekeeping for the first time lay down as
law, from which there is to be no appeal,
that cash system is to be the rule Of the
establishment. AS the years wear on, the
law becomes more or less imperative, &C

stances of the lawmaker. 81 pay cash ab-

the money, my family lives well; when I
haven't, we 90 without, and bills are un-
known,
Undoubtedly the weight of evidence is in
favor of the cash system; on the other
hand, weekly and monthly bills enable one
to keep track OF ones expenses, whereas,
unless the cash account is very strictly
kept, money slips away in unnoted and
often unneeded ways.
For family living on moderate income
and that income a stated salary, paving
cash for everything is the only method to
be tolerated. The weekly income will
surely be used, and If the bills are not paid
with ii they must be a constant, annoyance.
1t is the beginning OF a pressure on the
head of the family that has many times led
him into devious ways to avoid For busy
women, however, the time consumed in
keeping up the cash system is often of
much greater value occupied in another
way. It is perhaps significant of the
reach of women in these days that they no
longer permit themselves TO be hampered
by details, setting them quickly in their
just relations TO individual circumstances.
