WERE SHE TO TRY.
The Possibility of n Russian Attack or
and Capture of Constantinople.

The Possibility of Russian Attack or
and Capture of Constantinople.
There can be no question that IT
would be perfectly in agreement with
the usage of civilized nations for Rus.
with an attempt to seize on Constan-
tinople by sudden and unlooked-for
attack; though it may be very well
questioned whether Constar tinople
would necessarily fall in consequence
of the appearance of hostile fleet be-
fore it. Twelve years ago the English
fleet could silence the batteries of Alex
andria, but could not take possession
of the.town.
The defenses of Constantinople are
enormously superior to those of Alex
andria, and the Turkish ironclads can
not be left altogether out of the
reckoning; but even if these are
overcome, the Turkish soldier may
be relied on for obstinacy in the de-
defense of position, and the hostile
occupation of town with million OF
inhabitants is not a task which gen
eral on shore wouldalightly undertake;
to an admiral, unsupported by land
force, it is an absolute impossibility.
The capture of Constantinople by a
coup de main of such nature is scarce
ly conceivable; and though, with com
mand of the sea, any number of men
might be landed along the beach be-
tween Derkos and the Bosphorus, it is
not with small army that such an en-
terprise could be undertaken: and the
quantity of shipping required for the
transport of a very modest one would
preclude all attempt at surprise. There
is certainly not shipping in the Black
sea sufficient for the transport of forty
thousand men. force ludicrously in
adequate for the taslS.-Edinburgh Re-
view

WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS.


A New World OF Life Opens Under thu
Front Arches.
What number of creatures begin to
move about when the night falls? The
sound of their movements over the dead
leaves so plentifully scattered under
the trees and bushes betrays some of
them. That trotting rustic like tiny
pig, with frequent pauses, comes from
the hedgehog; so does that faint whine.
Tick tick, tick, tick, tick! comes from
some mice; then you hear scramble,
after that short, sharp bounds and a
sharp, eager cry.
1t is the weasel in full pursuit of
Oberon's long-tailed cattle, the wood
mice They will climb up the string
and out on the branches to get out of
the way of their determined little
enemy, but it will not be much use for
the weasel and the stoat are as much
at home in the trees as cats are.
The hooting had ceased, and from
the larches two birds sail out oyer the
open space. 1t will be bad job for
young rabbit, mouse or frog, if that
pair get sight of it, for one or the other
will be sure to have it. In this way
one creature keeps within due limits
the inordinate increase of another. If
! had my wish, the beautiful and most
useful birds should not be killed at all,
formed as they are to act the part of
rural police when the night falls

LATE HOURS ON THE "L."

employees whose HOurs are Long ana

Of the most conspicuous night-worlS-
ers are those unfortunate men who are
constantly cautioned against crossing
the tracks. They come into close con-
tact with the night-traveling public,
especially that portion of it which loves
to get upon its hind legs and howl dur
ing the small hours, to smoke in the
cars and put its feet upon the seats.
Notwithstanding strict orders to the
contrary.
The IL road guard in particular has
hard time of it. He is obliged to look
after number of irresponsible passen-
gers, to decide between that degree of
irresponsibility which entities the
occasional, lush to lenient con-
sideration and that which makes the
STEADY soak" deserving of harshness
and, sometimes, expulsion from the
car. Woe betide him, if he offends that
portly old boy in the corner, whose
flushed face shows that he has dined
tonight, and who snores in several diff
ferent keys. He may be a director of
the road or, perchance, an important
stakeholder. He may be only a re-
spectacle citizen, who, if insulted, will
go down to the office and buster and
rant, demanding not only the immedi-
ate discharge of the guard, but the
eternal Punishment from the land of
the free of all his friends and relatives.
Truly, the e. guards life is not a
happy one.-Chicago Times.

AFFECTION OF ANIMALS.
Instances Showing That Their Care TO
Each Other Is Almost Human.

Instances Showing That Their Care for
Each Other Is Almost Human.
At Beyreuth was noticed for some
time that two goats always kept close
together, one being specially watched
and guarded by the other. On inspec-
sion it was shown that one goat was
blind, and its companion, evidently
knowing this, attached itself to it's
poor afflicted friend and acted as its
guide, showing untiring watchfulness
and care. 1t any difficulties had to be
avoided, the faithful friend was GER
tain to be seen at the side of the blind
goat, tenderly guiding it. This
went on for several months.
But one day it was noticed
that the blind goat was left to its own
devices and quite forsal1en by its for
mer companion. How was this? Had
the faithful friend in affliction grown
weary of its self-imposed charge? No,
the blind goat had recovered its sight,
and, therefore, was unnecessary.
In the same neighborhood trout were
reared, sand they were transferred, ac-
cording to their age, from smaller

regularly waited his arrival and
stormed the eagerly loolxed-for spoon
But their was one poor fish which was
either pushed aside or missed its way
