THE RUSSIAN BEAR
Shows Its Teeth and viii Tolerate NJ
Abridgement of Corean Independence.

THE press of st. Petersburg is unanimous
in declaring that Russia will tolerate no
abridgement of Corean territory or any sup
preston of her independence, no matter
what may be the result of the war between
China and Japan, nor will she permit any
interference on the part of Great Britain or
any other power, if such interference con-
ficts with the interests of Russia. 1t is urged
by the newspapers that military and naval
measures be adopted in the Pacific and
upon the frontier which will maintain the
interests of Russia in the event of her being
called upon to defend them.

''How soon should calls upon bride

frequently asked. Calls upon bride
should be made very soon after her re-
turn from her wedding trip, if 10 day
for such has been @siSnated, and as
immediate visit must he paid to her
mother or person at whose house the re-
ception was held. The bride returns
her calls soon and SO far us possible in
the order in which they are made. Her
neglect to acquit herself Of these debts
would be inexcusable. and person sc
careless would deserve to be socially

1t Is positively asserted that a promi-
nent farmer living near Eliicot: City,
Nd. has in his possession goose which
has attained the rather astonishing age
Of &c wears. The bird was purchased by
its present owner il 1880, and WIS then
% years old. 1t is rs sprightly now. it
is stated. as any of the flock, and there
is nothing in its appearance to indicate
such an advanced age. In discussion
by several old fowl fanciers here regard
ing the ages of different birds it was af-
firmed that geese often lived to such an
age, and even longer period.
