Twelve feet away from another man
you can just see him, with a sort of
halo around him as though somewhere
the sun was shining through the storm.
In these storms it is impossible to tell
direction or distance. One is simply
lost when only a short distance from
camp.
SIN the morning we walked down
into town. One man went ahead
breaking the snow, which came nearly
to his armpits, as he moved through
1t. He would tread until tired, when
he would drop to the rear and some
one else would lead the procession.
AS we walked Into the valley it grew
less, and down below in the town there
had been no snow and all the time the
sun or the stars had shone. Such a
snow goes like the dew-disappears,

A RemarkabIe FamlIE.

On a pretty little farm high up
among the hills of Calhoun County,
Alabama, 1000 feet above the sea, lives
most remarkable family. Their
name is Sadler. The family consists
of q brother and four sisters, and the
youngest has already turned her
ninety-frst year. The oldest is several
years more than a century old. None
of them has ever married. The Sadlers
were born in the Old Dominion State.
In 1881 the family moved to Alabama
and Calhoun County, about fifteen
miles east of Annison. Two years
later they became possessed of the
property on which they now live, aud
there erected a log house. which domi-
ciie they have since inhabited con
stantly. Years ago the father and
mother died, the former at the age of
ninety-one, the latter at the age Of

The famous Berlin professor, yir-
chow, is a most outspoken opponent
OF the Darwinian theory as applied on
the Continent to tho descent of man
from lower order of creatures. At
the international Anthropological
Congress at Innsbruck, of which asso-
ciasion he is the veteran President,
the New York Observer states that he
again poured out his vials of wrath
and scorn on the advocates of this
theory. He claims that Darwin him
self originally abstained from apply
ing his theory to the descent OF man,
and that only later the ape theory
was adopted. ''Men might as we'll
have invented theory of the descent
of man from a sheep" continued Vir-
chow. He regards the problem in
volved as one that can never be scien-
tiheally solved.

Russia Has Large Cavalry Forces.

A German paper states that the Gre.
alton of the new Russian army corps
in Poland will lead to the concentra-
tion of such masses of cavalry az are
found in no other army in the world.
In the Government of Warsaw there
will be three divisions of cavalry,
three regiments of Cossacks, and cor.
responding batteries of horse artillery.
This great mass of cavalry will face
the German frontier and have its
centre at Warsaw, its right resting on
Plotz and its left on Lublin. 1t is re-
ported that some time ago secret
maneuyers were held in the Govern
ment of Wilma to test the possibility
of handling such masses of cavalry,
with the result that the commander
in-chief expressed an opinion that no
troops could stand before them. This
may be true, says the German critic,
but how can such numbers be marched
about any country and fed altogetherf
Handling them would be an easy mat.
