Peace or war, Russian aggression neV. CT stands still, and it is most character istic of her patient and farsighted di- plomacy that she reaps more in peace than at the close of her most successful wars. To explain this ceaseless and pauseless advance upon all her neigh bars they tell us that she wants all open port on an open ocean-that it is absurd to ask an empire like Russia to put up with an outlet to the sea that is blocked by ice four months in every year. But that is no answer to the accusation, if accusation it be, of universal aggres- sion. The possession of such port is not the end, but the means.
 There is no end to Russian ambition. Each point won is a stepping stone to the next. Eastern Siberia has no glut of merchandise struggling for vent at VIadivostok, nor would ConstantinOple be any better fitted for the export grain trade than Odessa. The port may foster trade as yet in its infancy, but this is just another reason for saying that it is not the goal of Russian aspiration, but only milestone on the road. If not for empire and for competitive trade why seek an open port at all? Still less can the constant absorption of new territory be explained by any superfuity of popu- lation in the old. It is nothing, after all, but the genuine earth hunger, the lust of unlimited dominion. woods Magazine

Peacocl's Feathers Unlucky.

UnIuckiness seems to be confined to the bringing of the tail feathers of Ju- nos bird into house am not aware that this idea is held outside this coun. try, and if it is confined to England many various causes may have led to the belief, which possibly arose in con- paratively modern times-no earlier than the crusades
 Nothing is more probable than that several crusaders brought home the gor- geous feathers as curiosities, strange sight, and so likely to make deep i'm pression. Nothing is easier to conceive than that some misfortune, death from disease, loss of wealth or other "bad luck" may have happened to more than one possessor of the beautiful feathers, and that they would on that account soon be credited with being the cause. A belief of this kind once started is of rapid growth and very long lived.- Notes and Queries.

Want of Time.

The man who immerses himself in business that he may accumulate vast property, or that his family may live luxurious and idle lives, has no right to plead want of time for other claims. It is not true that he cannot comply with them, but that he has chosen not to do so. The woman who, absorbed in a round of gayety and society, declares that she has no time to train her chil- dren and superintend her household is uttering an excuse as vain as it is false. She simply decides to use her time for other purposes. And this liberty of choice belongs to every one, in spite of any desire or attempt to disclaim it. New York Ledger.

A DEADLY OCCUPATION.
Bringing Out Borax From the Rifts
 Death Valley.

Bringing Out BOrax From the Rifts In
 Death Valley.
 The deadliest occupation for men or horses is teaming in the borax fields of Death valley of the great American des- ert. There the longest teams in the world are employed. Scientists declare that the fierce heat in this narrow rent in the cracked surface of the earth is not equaled elsewhere in the world. Where the thermometer often registers 40 degrees of heat unrelieved by even a breath of air, where men sleep at night in hollow ditches filled with wa ter in order to avoid dying from col lapse, the necessity for the longest teams of mules and horses ever harness, ed to draw the great borax laden wag- ons is apparent.
 The desert team is the longest in the world, and the percentage of deaths among the horses is greater than that of domestic animals used in any other calling. Forty to so horses are often hitched to one of the lum bering vehi- cles in which the borax is slowly drag ged across the sun baked alkai plains. The average life of even the sturdiest horses used in this work is six months, for in this length of time they either be- come broken winded, cOnsumptive from inhaling the deadly dust of the desert or are driven crazy by the frightful heat.
 A man there, though protected by the wagon awnings from the suns rays, cannot go an hour without water with out danger of death. When a team breaks down and the water supply be- comes depleted, the men ride on at tor speed for the nearest source of supply, and often when they return they find that the remaining horses, made mad by thirst, have broken from the harness and dashed off only to find death in the desert.
 The borax wagons weigh 5000 pounds and carry 90, 900 pounds at g load. Behind each wagon is tank con- taining hundreds of gallons of water. The horses are harnessed in pairs, the trained ones in the lead, and the next in intelligence just ahead of the tongue, while the unruly and the youngsters art hitched between. The nigh leader hal
 
 jaw shorter than the other, and iron the bridle runs braided rope, whiot the driver, perched on the wagon seat holds in his right hand.
 The rope is called the "jerk line" ant is little longer than the team, whiol stretches out several hundred feet il front of the wagon. During the busy season the borax wagons make an al most continuous train, and the horse alone, if placed in single file, woulc make team more than TOO miles long
 Besides a little food and water th poor animals get no care. They curr. themselves by rolling in the burninl sand. After few months of the killing labor the poor creatures become uni for service. A kindly rife ball then end their agony, and their emaciated car oasses are left alongside the trail to fur nish soant picking for the lowering vul lures. es.-CaIifornia Letter.

The Atmosphere.

Even if it were possible for man to live without breathing air he could not exist on the earth if it were without an atmosphere. Plants derive carbon, the most important element of their food, from the air, and without plants there could be no food for animals, and there fore no human beings. Water also comes from the atmosphere, but if there were no water there could be neither plants nor animals. If food and water could be supplied in some other way. the world would still be unhabitable by plants and animals owing to the severi- ty of the cold. Without an atmosphere there would be no winds, and conse- quently no waves or ocean currents. The sea-if we may suppose one to have been supplied by some unknown cause would be stagnant pool, uninhabit- ablo by seaweed or rfsh.-Exchange.

Plants That Eat Insects.

Francis Darwin, son of the great naturalist, has been Investigating the effect on insectivorous plants of supply. ing them with and withholding from them animal food. He grew ten of these carnivorous plants under similar condi- tions. One plant of the lot he fed with roast meat, -fiftieth of grain being placed on the seoreting glands of the plant each hour, while from all the others all such food was carefully ex- cluded. The results of this experiment. were very marked in several particulars, the greatest being in the mum Der, weight and vitality of it's seeds. The number of seeds produced by the plant that was given it's regular rations of animal mat ter was 240 to each 100 produced by plants which were unfed, while the to- tai weight of the seeds was as S8O to 100. In other words, the plants which were restricted to a diet wholly. vege- table were invalids compared with the plants that were furnished with animal food. The increased heaviness of the seeds is another item to be noted, as it certainly implies increased vitality. At least it is so with wheat, as any farmer will tell you, it being the rule that the heavier the grain the greater it's fertii- ty.-St. Louis Republic.

YawninG FisheR.

It is not generally known that fish yawn. The writer saw turbot yawn twice and cod once, the latter being one of the widest yawns accomplished by any animal of it's size. The yawn of turbot, being something not common ly seen, deserves particular description.
 A turbot's mouth is twisted on one side, rather as if it had belonged to 8 round fish which some one had accident ally trod on and squashed half flat. The yawn begins at the lips, which opens as if to suck in water. Then the jaws be- come distended, and it is seen that this is going to be real, genuine subma- rine fish's yawn. But the yawn goes on, works through the back of it's head, dis tending the plates of the skull and comes out at the gills, which open, show the red inside, are inflated for 8 mo- ment, and then, with kind of stretch ing shiver of it's back, the fish hattens out again, until, if unusually bored, it relieves itself by another yawn.-Pear- sons Weekly.
