or It'll the next CROP" it was not be-
lieved. But this is really what the peas
ant lives upon for Nv elve months in or
dinary times" In seven households out
of ten, Kropotkin writes, the question of
bread for the morrow worries the peasant
for three or four months in the year.
Russia does not produce any surplus OF
cereals. IF all the rye ard wheat grown
! every year remained in the country, and
not single bushel of it were exported,
| European Russia would have an average
of $50 pounds of rye and W heat per head
of population. That is the low est amount
required for one Inhabitants food, and
| nearly two bushels less per inhabitant
than shat is really consumed in cereals in
| this country (England) or in France: But
Russia exports on an average one-third
part of her crops, and consequently that
much is anted for the food of the popula-
| ton. So that chronic starvation as

How does 1t happen, however. that one
must pay the taxes. In the autumn he sells
his grain, and with the purchase money he

| the new crop comes in he will starve or be
forced to buy his bread, provided he has
any money left, at an enhanced price. The
peasant must get money or he is made to
suffer. When in, 1893 the European press,
principally French, doomed Russian loan

Odd Animal Traits.

Calls for the same species of animals
iiffer in different parts of the world. but
each individual will undoubtedly get used
10 his habituaI call. Cab horses have often
been known to pay no attention to gentle
coaxing, but to etart off promptly at the
usual flow of eXpletives.
On the advance to the heights Of Alma a
battery of artillery became exposed to the
fire of q concealed Russian battery, and in
the course of q few minutes it was nearly
DESTROYED, men and horses killed and
wounded, guns dismounted and limbers
broken. A solitary horse, which had ap-
parently escaped unhurt, was observed
standing with fixed gaze upon an object
close beside him. This turned out to be
his late master. quite dead. The poor ami
NAL. when. 4 trooper was dispatched to re-
cover him. was found with copious tears
flowing from his eyes, and it was only by
main force that he could be dragged from
the spot. and his unearthly cries TO get
back to his master were heartreDding.
The old Egyptian pictures prove that tl:,

when Taylor repeated the words it came to
him, rubbed its head against the bars. aud
looked up at him with evident delight.

He believed that the river that watered
the garden was that formed by the united
streams OF the Tigris and the Euphrates and
now called the, Shat t-el-Arab, which runs
200 miles from the point of junction to the
gulf. Pison and Gihon he believed to be the
two cha nnels through which the river ran
into the gulf. He located the garden near
these mouths, and made a map of it, which
may be found in his commentaries.

A veracious writer in the Paris Temps
tells a story of an English army surgeon
named Macleod. "a grave, skilful. wise
and reserved practitioner" His comrades
sometimes rallied him on his sobriety and
confluence, but he replied only with a shrug
of the shoulders. One day, in India, a
lieutenant of his mess jokingly said that
he lived like young lady. Macleod jump
ed from his chair and slapped the officer
in the face. A duel followed and the lieu
tenant was shot. The surgeon then re-
signed and returned to England. Upon
his death, some years later, 1t was found
that the surgeon was a woman, aud among
her papers were found some showing that
she was member of one of the Oldest fam
lilies in Great Britain.
