Population of Russia.

The "Novoe Vremya" says that the
Russian census gives a population for
the Empire of 127 100000, exclusive of
the Grand Duchy of Finland, which
takes its own census. Some other fig
ures have still to be added from the
uttermost parts of Siberia, as well as
the nomad tribes of the Steppes and
the mountaineers of the Caucasus,
where an exceptional snowfall delayed
the work till the spring. The full total
is expected not to be under a hundred
and thirty millions.

The Eastern press is discussing the
question, What books shall we read in
in summer? Why, of course, just the
kind of books we would choose to read
at any other time in the year. We can
not understand why our mentality
should have less activity or our souls
and minds less good food in summer
than in winter, or why summer should
dictate particular kind of intellectual
diet for u.s. And truth is, when we
come to read the essays written on the
subject, we find that about all the
writers come to just the conclusion we
have reached: There are no summer,
no autumn, no winter books. The good
book is for all seasons and all times.

does anyone suppose that Russia,
France, Italy and England will permit
such programme to be carried out
no matter what Austria may do, though
wrecking plan. Yet it is asserted that
the Sultan proposes this scheme with
perfect seriousness, and flew into a rage
when told that the Powers expected him
to relinquish Thessaly, and that he at
once called his counsellors of war about
him. This is really the most significant
son to expect some radical movement
and declaration in the far east within
the next few days, relative to the settle
ment of peace terms with Greece. When
the declaration comes, we anticipate it
as sharp though polite intimation from
the Car that the Sultan must withhold
his hand. yield Thessaly to its owners,
and confine indemnity demands to sums
of money and some slight adjustment
of the Thessalonian frontier lines.

skirts impede their movements. They
become tangled in them, fall and are
trodden to death. Hold fast, women of

ed, and the men escaped While your

not because of your skirts, but because
of the miserable towards and unchival-
rous creatures you call men in France.

lures, Heaven bless you.

Oakland by the votes of some outly-

land and claims that the addition
gives her 10000 more population. There
is no one to object, specially, to the
claim, but really Oakland is not one
whit larger or more populous than be-
fore the election. The precincts were
all along as Oaklandish in trade, tone
and character as if they had been with
in the city limits. Only political lines
divided the precincts from the city, and
the mere form of changing to a new
Jurisdiction does not enlarge. Bounds
are expanded, it's true, but Oakland

Rest an Essential
To Proper Labor.

Rev. II. F. Shepard, at Olivet Congrega-
tional Church, spoke at yesterday morn
ing's services on the text:
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy
laden and Will give you rest--Matt- t:2&
He said in substance:
THE people of our country are often criti-
clzed severely for undue absorption in
i business to the exclusion of important
duties of a higher nature and rich pleas
ures which they should enjoy. This criticism
con tafns much justice, and no vacation of q
few weeks can repair the loss of constant wor-
rying and hurrying during the rest of the year.
Every day should be relieved by frequent res
pite from toll and care.
Several classes OF men cannot rest. Hard
work precedes all best rest, and thus the idler
cannot rest. Dissipation is not rest, and it
units its victim for it, Overwork is one of
rests worst enemies.
Rest is modified by the age of the rest-seeker.
1t is wholly unjust to expect youth and mid
die life and old age to conform to identical
rules of rest. Prophecies of time and place
and burning desire 10 make the most OF life
for God and truth should control all diversion.
Sunday is an invaluable rest day. All other
days should heve bundant rest for body and
MIND, and Sunday should comprehend all
this and lift the soul above it to hl0her spirit
ual Joy. If the week is heavy with cruel over
work sunday is Powerless TO relieve the strain
OF this abuse. No earnestness and elOquence
OF preaching and no disposition of reVerent
listening can give the Lords day its intended
measure OF joy and rest # the week has been
deadened with excessive toll.
Our State needs great reform in Sunday OBJ
servance. Some powerful sources of better
Sunday that shall be filed with rest and wor-
ship and bring new strength for the week are
decreased greed OF employing capital, personal
sobriety ana economy OF employed labor and
increased practical interest of our churches in
problems OF labor and social reform. There is
little use in preaching to men who are too
tired to listen.
1t is equally futile to preach theology to
men who are out of work aud absorbed IN un-
successful search for bread for suffering wives
and hungry children.

Daniels Lions Are
Our Selfish Desires,

Rev. ]. S David, pastor of the Sweden
borg Mission Society, lectured on IAN
Honest Statesman in a Den of Lions" at
Washington Hail, in Red Mems building
last evening. He said In substance:
H ANIEL was an Israelite; and the fact
that while captive in Babylon he
IL was exalted to the most exalted posi-
lion, next TO the king, in q foreign
nation so excited the jealousy of his
teiiow-offic GERS of the realm that they put their
heads together and developed q well laid
scheme for his deS tructIon. They were illus
tratiOns Of that horrible selfshness which has
manifested itself in al historic ages which
exalts personal consideration above the love
and service of the people. The story of Daniei
in the den of lions all night unhurt con tains
an important lesson for people OF all subse-
quent ages.
The lions are the selfish desires of our lower
nature which is tenn porarily captive in the
realm OF matter. Daniel controlled the lions
by that wonderful psychic and spiritual power
which, when properly understood, subordi-
mates the whole animal world TO man; and
nhus he symbOliZes every pure and faithful
tOl., who controls the fierce animals of his
sower nature that they cannot hurt him.
They may severely tempt him; they may cast
him into the shadow OF despair; but The faith
iul soul who realizes the divine presence will
emerge from their sphere in the morning of a
new state stronger than ever, while they Will
only destroy themselves in their effort to de-
stroy him. Final and eternal victory is the
goal OF every faithful soul.

Rev. DR.. Gardner on
Traffic in Men.

Rev. DR.. Gardner preached yesterday at
the West Side Christian Church on "Traf-
ic in Men" The text was Isaiah lil:3:
Ye have sold yourselves for naught; ye shall be
redeemed without money.
T7HE traffic In men began very early in the
history of the race, and has continued
i 10 the present time.
One OF the darkest blots on the fair
lace OF our republic Is the institution of Airi-
can slavery, which was protected by our laws
tor more than three-quarteTs of a century. To
destroy the traffic in human beings the United
states suffered the loss OF more than eight bill
lions OF property and treasure, and SIX nun
oTed and sixteen thousand men, who were
killed or died from disease in the armies of the
North and the South. One OF the things ac.
compIished by This dreadful Civil War was the
nperatlng OF 1000. 600 slaves, but all the
slaves were not liberated A much worse form
OF trafhc in men than that carried on in tn e
oouth before the war is now cuTsing our coun-
try.
Eighty thousand boys and girls are being
Dartered away each yesr, OF whom 10, 900 900
are now In bondage. The MASTER who rules
over these unfortunate slaves is lar more cruel
tnap the slave-driyers OF the South or the
tssK- makers of Egypt. The black man who
was legally bougnt and sold in the United
states forty years ago boasted that, though
mis- oody might be bound with chains mis-
spirit was free. The slave to strong drink finds
Douy, soul ana spirit in the clutches of a
tyIant Whom he Is expected to serve eternally
Let the GRAND Army OF the Republic and the
gIeSt army OF he Christ unite in a war that
shall Tree our country from the diaboIieal
tyranny Of king alcohol.

His text was, Judge not and you will

WYE DO not always stop to consider what
\E/ we mean by judgment. We have the
w judgment pronounced by those given
authority by law TO pass sentence, and
we have the judgment OF our own priva e
opinions. In both judgments things are 10 be
considered for and against
We are warned in this Gospel about one case
to which we are all too prone We are warned
not to pass judgment upon our brothers. We
are told by Almighty Sod not TO Judge our
brother. Should we overlook a fault, if fault
there be, we may thereby have our own faults
overlooked ana condoned. Do We not neeG to
have our faults overlooked?
We cannot fully understand and see the mo-
tives Of our brothers actions, and for this rea-
son we have no jurisdiction to judge him. God
alone can penetrate our inmost heart. God
alone can see without prejudice the motives
