During the week Russia and Germany have
become engaged in the %iercest tariff war
recorded in history, Russia began by placing
ON German goods an augmentation Of 80 per
cent. on the mailman duties levied under
her tariff. The German Federal Council
replied by the imposition of an extra so per
cent. and the Russian Minister of Finance
on Wednesday "countered" this by increasing
the Russian duties on German goods by vet
another so. per cent. This is a game in
which the Russians have, from a Protectionist
point of view, a considerable advantage.
The Car has given his Finance Minister carte
blanche in the matter Of raising the tariff
dues but the German Constitution allows no
further increase (without the consent Of
Parliament) beyond the SO per cent. already
imposed. The evil effects that will be
produced on both Empires are, of course, very
great and it is hoped that in October, whom
negotiations for a treaty dte to be resumed,
the diplomatists, and the merchants who egg
them on, will come to their senses. Let
US trust that the incident will shake Lord
Salisbury's belief in the advantages to be
gained by having something in the shape
of a tariff to bargain with. Such bargain

One OF the whalemen on the

and he has been sailor on coasting
vessels for several years Ten months
ago he fell in love with pretty and
estimable young lady at Yaquina
Bay Stevens wanted to get married,
but his funds were low, so it was ar
ranged between the two lovers that
William should go on whaling cruise
and on his return the nuptial knot
should be tied.
William came down on the next
steamer, but found that sailors who
had never been on whaling voyage
were regarded as green hands; ard
that when old-timers were clamorlng
for chance TO ship new man had
very little show. However, Stevens
persevered, and persuaded Capt
Worth to take him on Whitelaw's
whaIer, the schooner La Ninfa. The
green hand proved the mascot Of the
trip, and he killed the only two
whales taken on the voyage. They
were big fellows and produced $500
pounds of bone.
Stevens has consequently come into

Some portions OF his trip have been

was lost in the desert, and for three

burden to il, and the other morning.
before Williamsbridge awoke to the
fact that it was freezing hard, the
old goose died.
Mrs Sellers is in doubt whether it
committed suicide or was murdered.
Long before daylight she was
awakened by the cackling of her
geese, and, though it was too dark TO
see them by looking out OF her bed

At dawn Mrs Sellers saw that the
pond was frozen over, and In the cen

around it on the slippery surface.
They were watching it closely, and
had it moved they would, no doubt,
have forced it back, 1t was quite
dead, however, and Mrs Sellers
thinks the younger geese beat its
head below the water and made it
stay in that position until the ice
formed around it. She admits, how.

practice OF surgery differs considera-
bly, from that in vogue in less en-
lightened Western countries. Bone
setting in the Celestial Empire is a
complicated affair, and doubtless
more efficacious than European meth
DDS. In setting fractured limb the
surgeon does not attempt TO bring
the bones together, but merely wraps
the limb in red clay, inserting some
strips Of bamboo into the clay. These
strips are swathed in bandages, and
In the outer bandage the head of a
live chicken is placed. Here comes in

After the bandage has been secured
the fowl is beheaded and its blood is
allowed to penetrate the fracture, for
it nourishes the fractured limb and is
