Poorest Community in tho World.

"The poorest people as community
in the world, probably, ore the fisher.
men of Northumberland, for good
ness sake, don't call it Newf-un-lan, as
80 many ignorant people outside of
the province do'-said F. G. Loomis,
of st. Johns, at tho Ebbitt. "For
time immemorial the fisheries have
been controlled by few persons, who
waxed rich and powerful from them.
The fishermen arc employed by them
during the season, but they do not
get paid in money. The men who run
the fisheries also conduct stores at
every town where fishermen reside,
and the latter are given orders for
supplies on these establishments,
where they are charged from two to
four times as much for IN article as
they would be if they had the cash
and were able to deal somewhere else.
Formerly, when the fishing was good,
this system did not result in absolute
want to the victims of it, but now,
when each year, almost, brings O
failure, the destitution Is something
terrible. The law which forbade the
soil of Newfoundland to be titled was
repealed years ago, but the men who
have the blood OF long lines Of fishers
in their veins arc tho hereditarily in
capable of farming, SO they exc out O
miserable existence on the water, and
hundreds of them starve each year. -

Value OF Torpedo Boats in War.

One of the objects of the British
naval manure last year was to deter
mine the value of torpedo boats in
war, Here is part of On official re-
port that has just been made: "No
ship was put out OF action by tor
pedo boat. The lightness of the
1ights seems to have had q two-told
effect. No. so (Red side) in evad
ing catcher at first missed the Blue
Fleet, but managed to keep up with it
and got within q range of the rear
ship, which was not attacked because
she was supposed to belong to Group
Three, class exempted from torpedo
attack by the rules. The light ap-
parently was not sufficient to permit
the real character Of the ship to be
ascertainod. On the other hand. it is
reported that the nights were never
really dark enough to afford conceal
ment to the torpedo boats. The tor
pedo lieutenant in command of No.
80 makes the interesting observation
that, owing to the speed of the hostile
fleet, the boats were unable to regain
their position for attack when once it
had been lost. From this it seems
permissible to infer that high speed
will be Of itself no unimportant pro-
teotion to ships traversing at night
narrow waters infested by torpedo
boats. The torpedo boat operations
were upon too restricted scale to
supply much valuable instruction but,
as for as they went, they tend to con-
firm the view that the most effective
employment of the torpedo boat in
war will be limited to sending her to
attack any enemy's ship in known
position within the boats range of
action, and that the whereabouts of
the enemy must be first ascertained
and be communicated to the COM
mander of the boat. The necessity of
combining with torpedo boats vessels
OF other and larger classes to scout
and discover the enemy-where exact
information as to his position cannot
be obtained by other means-seems to
be established and, if 50, it carries
with it the obligation to consider o
mere lotilla of torpedo boats by them
selves as a belligerent factor of dis
tinctly imperfect efficiency. New

Planted by Eminent Men.

The botanical garden ut Washington

Evarts planted seeds in 1889 and 1890,
from which sprung respectively two
Lebanon cedars; Actor Edwin Forrest

Tile LaZy Russians.

The Russians are lazy and effem.
mate; in the winter they seldom walk,
and when they do so they crawl along
muffled up in furs, and do not move
with any briskness, says the West
minister Review. The Cossaoks are
dirty.looking rufians. badly dressed
and mounted on small horses, which
are said to be excellent animals, pos.
sessing wonderful staying power.
One of the worst characteristics oi
the Russians is their dishonesty in
trade. In Moscow, even in many OF
the best shops, one has to bargain for
purchases, as O much higher price
than is expected is always asked. In
the same way one has to bargain for
everything, and this, in my opinion,
constitutes one Of the most disagreeablo
things connected with life in Russia.
One always imagines tha: ono is being
swindled, and too frequently, no
doubt, the idea is not vain one.
That tho Russians are dirty peo.
pie is well-known; very few houses
have even footbath in them, and,
although there are fine public baths,
the Russians, even of the upper classes,
seldom make use of them. In
deed I believe the lower orders are
cleaner in this respect.

RESEAIDLANCES.

"That's portrait of your grand

"Indeed. I'm not trying to fatter
you, Miss Benderby! The family re-
semblance is striking. I've often
known cases of that kind. There were
two sisters I was acquainted with when
I was boy. They looked wonder
fully alike, just as that portrait looks
like you, and yet one of them was as
beautiful as poets dream, and the
other was dreadfully-that is, I mean,
she wasn't at all-or rather, she was
lacking in that-that attractive quail
