the country had the appearance of one

the country had the appearance of one
vast lumber yard.
These piles OF wood, and the black and
white striped fences, and the frequent
spectacle of lonely child guarding one
poor COW or halt-starved horse, with
no other sign of life within miles OF them,
were the three things which seemed to
MS to be the most conspicuous and char
acterstic features Of the 800 miles that
stretch from the German border to the
ancient capital.
All that we saw of the moujiks was at
the stations, where they were gathered
in silent, apathetic groups to watch the
train come and go. The men were of a
fine peasant type, big-boned and strong
looking, with sad, unenlghtened faces.
They neither laughed nor joked, as oung-
ers around the railroad station are wont
to do at home, but stood staring, with
their hands in their sleeves, watching the
voyagers with a humble, distressed look
like that of an uncomprehending dumb
animal.
They all wore long, greasy coats oil
sheepskin cut in loosely at the waist
aud spreading out like frock to below
their knees on their feet the more well.
TODD wore boots. The legs and feet Of
the others were wrapped closely in long
linen bandages, and bound with thongs
of rawhide or plated straw. All the
men had the inevitable fiat cap, which
seems to be the national badge of Russia
and their hair was long and clipped of
evenly in line with their shoulders. The
women dressed exactly like the men
with the same long sheepskin coats and
high boots, so that it was only possible
to distinguish them by the kerchief eacl
wore round her head. They were short
and broad in stature, and so mucl
smaller than their husbands and son:
that they seemed to belong to another
race, and none OF them either in face OF
figure showed any marked trace OF lemi
nine grace or beauty. = From "Th'

Riches of Cuba.

In obedience to what he deems popu-
lar demand to know more of Cuba and
its productive powers, Consul Hyatt at
Santiago de Cuba has sent the state de-
partment report on that island.
Cuba he writes, Stands in a geo.
graphical position which, together with
her productive soil, mineral wealth and
climatic conditions, should entitle her to
rank among the foremost communities
of the world, distinction to which |
believe she will soon attain whenever
a stable government and cheerful obedi-
ence to the powers that be, present to
the home. seeker and investor conditions
that will make home secure and capital
secure"
After describing the almost incredible
sugar and tobacco crops, Consul Hayatt
takes up the mineral wealth.
The book of the consulate shows that
from 1923 to 1910 annual shipments OF
copper ore to the United States averaged
from So, 900, 900 to $3,000,000.
Iron overshadows all other industries
of eastern Cuba and constitutes 1.-THE
only industry that has made any pre-
tense of standing up against the shock
OF the present instruction"
These mines ship from 10000 to so,
900 tons of ore to the United States
every month, the largest portion OF
which is used at Bethlehem Steelton and
Pittsburg, and at Sparrows Point Md.
American capital recently opened a
manganese mine about 20 miles from
Santiago and built railroad to carry
the ore, but after shipping one cargo, the
business was closed up by the insurgents
AS nearly all the manganese used in the
United States comes from the Black sea
with a small amount for South America
the consul believes that the produce o
these mines will be ingreat demand wher
the conditions are such that they can be
operated with safety.

Sunday School Libraries.

Edward w. Box has been making a
careful and comprehensive examination
of Sunday School libraries, and in the
February Ladies Home Journal he con-
fesses himself Disguised with the litera-
ture thus placed in the hands OF our boys
and girls. A less complete investigation,
Mr. Box says, would not have made it
possible for him to believe that the libra
ries of our Sunday Schools were stocked
with such piles oirubbisl-"w shy-washy
literature" as he terms it. He quotes
the titles and gives the themes OF a num-
Der OF books he obtained from Sunday
School Libraries, and these seem to COM
pletely warrant his conclusions. "Such
books" he contends, "are an insult to
the intelligence of the young people, and
have a pernicious influence. Instead OF
being healthy books they are decidedly
unhealthy in tone and teaching. Surely
we are cultivating dangerous taste for
reading in the young when we feed them
on such rubbish"
Mr.. Box unhe sitatingly lays a part OF
the blame upon the publication boards
and societies, which are influenced by a
UNCONVENTIONAL spirit that narrows their
choice If books. Then, again, it is shown
that the most mediocre sort OF talent
is employed to write these books, and
that beggary priccs-'ess than $50 per
book-are pad. A share OF RESPONSE
bility, Mr. Box asserts, rests upon the
men who purchase Sunday School libra
rieS, who, as is most frequently the case,
are not qualified for the task, and whose
object is to secure a library as cheap as
possible. Mr.. Box warmly urges that
the selection of Sunday School books be
left to women, who "instinctively know
and eel the kind of book which a boy
or girl will read and enjoy" He insists
that women should he given carte blanche
to make the selections so far as the pre-
scribed amount of money will go. "A
hundred good books Mr., Box con
cludeS, "are far better than five hundred
books of Indifferent interest" which are
bought simply because they are cheap
"A Sunday School library cannot b
created in a day, and no discouragemen
should be felt il the financial means of TIM
church are contracted, and ncccssla
the purchase OF only a few books at Z
time.

Humanity has from time imme-
mortal been ikened to field, a vineyard,
etc., wherein laborers are needed to pillow
and to harrow, to reap and to garner.
And the call TO thrust-n as the field is
white unto harvest has always found
increasing response since the moment
when man first began to understand
that the claims OF his neighbor are ur-
gent upon him the moment his own abb
solute needs have been attended to.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1897-02-05

But enthusiasm in relation to good
work has to be combined with common
sense; it certainly must be ahead of it,
or we shall find ourselves embarked in
another fatefu Children's Crusade, like
that OF the middle ages. Enthusiasm
alone will sink us into helplessness, just
as with the rearing and the straining OF
a mired horse To make amply clear
my meaning | will go a little further.
There is hardly a community in which
YOU will fail to find men and women
working for the benefit of their race from
the purest motives at the outset. But
in almost as many communities you will
hud lines of effort crossing and re-cross-
ing one another. So eager becomes the
straining after statistical pre-eminence-
so many garments made, so many hun
CRY fed, so many souls saved, ETC. that
the real object OF the humanizing work,
the reaching of human hearts, is almost
lost to sight in the rush. Then, mere and
there some extra enthusiastic one instead
OF trying, or pretending to try, to water
where others have planted, starts his
answering plow or his drastic harrow
right over the growing crops and stand
ing sheaves of others, excusing himsel
by asserting that their methods have
been wrong, Thus he not only undoes
the work OF others, but he wastes his
own strength by doing at an improper
time thing essentially proper in its
own time and place.
