Russia ranks among the nations of
least natural aptitude for the modern
mode of fighting, says the Chicago
Times-Herald. This is fact that is
overlooked in the discussion of the
great world war, now supposed to be
imminent. Whether We contemplate
the outbreak as promiscuous struggle
among nations, or as the final contest
for supremacy between the two races,
the Anglo-Saxop and the Slav, the
enormous power of Russia must be
taken with this limitation. It may be
true that the Slav is to dominate the
world. But if so it will be through
first an alliance with part of the great
machine-fghting nations against the
others, and afterw&rd divisions among
these allies themselves.

The Making of a Good Indian.

"You, gentlemen, who have served
in southwestern Texas" related q
Jolly West Point Captain, around q
Caban campfire, ''hGve seen the Semi
mole Afro-Indian scouts. In the early
eighties. when l was Lieutenant,
my regiment was stationed at old Fort

these same scouts. They were q mot

and a glance over their muster roll
would reveal such euphoDious names
as Ben July, Pompey Perriman. Jim
Warrior, and Friday Bowiegs. Black
as solid hunks of ebony, and as fond
OF whisky as a baby is of milk, they
were, nevertheless. the finest trailers
and scouts on earth.
Southwestern Texas at that time
was pretty wild stretch of country.
Civilization stopped at San Antoine,
and the duty of these Afro-Indians
was to keep that border free from
smugglers, marauiing parties, and
hostile Indians. The men lad had q
good many sharp brushes with the
redskins, anl when they were warmed
up with LIQUOR they liked to tell of
these affairs. The commander at
Fort Clark was little skeptical about
these Indian stories, and one day he
said to me in joking way: I don't
believe there is an indian in West
Texas, and I'll give so TO any man
in your command who will bring in

A Battle Incident.

There is some quality in the inhab-
itants of the British Islands which
not only leads them to become good
soldiers, but makes it point of honor
for those of them who are officers to
render brave personal services to the
men under their command. 1t is sell
dom that one hears of any such Incl
dent among European Continental
armies as the following which is re-
lated in connection with a recent
fight in the Khyber Pass, in Afghan
istan; the Continental officer feels
himself under obligation to carry
wounded soldiers on his back.
Colonel Plowden's command formed
part of General Hamilton's rear
guard, and had to cross bit of ex-
posed ground swept by the tribes
mems fire.
Here three men we're struck by bull
lets: two of them could walk, but the
third was disabled. No surgeon was
present, and Colonel Plowden himself
dressed the mans wounds.
After this the men had to retire
across the exposed ground, and Cor
poral Bell was killed. Colonel Plow-
den, Lieutenant Owen and Lieuten
ant Fielden carried the dead man up
a hill; and by and by the command
had to cross another exposed spot.
Somebody was sure to be hit now; it
happened to be private Butler, and
the ball struck him in the leg, so that
lie could not walk. Captain Parr
dressed his wound and Lieutenant
Carter took The wounded man on his
back and carried him.
But alasl midway Of the exposed
ground poor Butler, as he lay on the
Lieutenant's back, was struck again,
and the force OF the ball knocked the
heavily-laden young officer down. He
got up and once more shouldered his
burden, when Lieutenant Fielden
came to his aid, and together these
officers carried Butler to a place Of
safety. Then IL was found that he
was dead as the result of the second
shot.
Meantime Colonel Plowden and
Lieutenant Owen were carrying Cor
poral Bells body across the dangerous
ground, and both Of them were
wounded in doing so. They strug-
gled on in spite of their wounds, and
reached cover with their sad burden.
Such incidents bring the soldier
near to his officer, and make him
reader even than he might otherwise
be to lay down his life for his country
and his commanders.

The Sin of MngnifYinc Trifies.

The sin of magnifying trifling matters Is
very common. Most of us regard it as
weakness rather than sin. Certainly il is
q weakness. But it also is a sin. 1t involves
self-deception and often the deception
OF others. 1t is violation Of
truth. 1t means the substitution as
an object of thought and endeavor Of
something OF little consequence for some
thing of real importance. as if their ac-
tual value were reversed. 1t causes dis
torted views of life, misdirected effort,
unsatisfying results and mental and spir-
itual unhappiness. They who are guilty
OF it soon lose the confidence of others in
some measure because it becomes evident
that their judgment cannot be trusted, even

Quality and the good is not sure Of being

is hard enough to do right when we know
clearly what the right is. But when
we have allowed ourselves to look
upon minor matters as vital, 1t be-
comes much more difficult to De

liarly Objectionable also because it is so un-
dignifed 20 magnify petty things iuto i'm
.portance. There are sins which, without
ceasing to condemn them, we nevertheless
recognize as characteristic of great and noble
natures. But this is not one OF them. 1t Is

character rapidly and mischievously, and its
influence is wholly and lastingly evil. ex-
cepting when it serves, as it sometimes
may. as a warning. 1t causes needless

1t is to be corrected by the sturdy refusal to

exact in judgment and in speech, and by
prayeriul, loving imitation of Jesus Christ.

The Doors of Human Life.

God has many doors into human life.
Some are grand portals, which seem not
unworthy Of the visitor-days of pentecost,
or of the burning bush. when the surround
ings seem to bear witness to His presence.
But He comes also by all sorts Of much
nsed. everyday and insignificant en-
frances. TO minSie the grace His pres
ence brings with the humdrum duties and
work-a-day empIoyments OF His peo-
pie. He can help Il woman to nurse sick
child. or aborer to piow clay field, as
certainly ;> u martyr 10 bear the fire, or
all apostle to preach the Word. He rejects
lovingly our measures of great and small, that
He may infasc His greatness into the petty
duties and patiencrs Of His peoples lyes.
He OWNS the cup Of cold water given for HIS
sake as amply as the surrender OF an estate
10 His service. Let Us not, therefore, be
Christians rs to the few great things OF our
lives and atheists as 10 the many smal!
things which fiji up far greater space OF
them. God is in both, waiting for the glory
we can give Him in them.-S. s. Times.

The Noyemen. in Canada.

Good-road making and the wide
agitation, therefor IN the United States
have attained sufficient Importance to
serve as o stimulus, or at least rs a
good example, across the northern
boundary. The road Inspector of the
province of Ontario dwells in his re-
port on the progress of the reform
here in an endeavor to arouse interest
there. That interest is lacking is evil
dent from the detailed reports from
existing conditions. Summarizing
these, the inspector says: "a century
ago the roads of Ontario such Gs eX-
listed, and they were very few, were
mere trails. To-day, notwithstand-
ing the amount of money and labor
placed on them, the majority are
little better than trails. This criti
cism may seem overdrawn to those

roads during the summer season, but
if the journey had to be made in the
fall or spring, the rainy seasons, it's
fairness would become more apparent.
From the middle of October until the
end of December, and from the first of
March to the middle of May, period
of five months, by far the greatest part
of the mileage OF the province is mud,
ruts and pitch-holes. This may vary
somewhat at the more northerly and
more soEtherly parts Of the province,
but it is the general rule of the aver
age year. OF this period OF five
months there are at least two months
OF the year when the roads are prac-
tically impossible for loads. From
the middle OF November until the
middle of December, from the middle
of March until the middle of April the
agricultural trade Of the country is
practically cut off. For the remain
ing three months of the five the roads
are barely passable. The estimated
loss to the province by the absence Of
good roads the inspector estimates at

The SaCacity of a Dog,

A wonderful story is told Of the
sagacity of dog in connection with
the warlike incidents of Chickamauga
Camp. This dog had been adopted in
a wealthy Columbus (Ohio) family.
He became great favorite with all
the members of that family, especially
with the youngest son. Meanwhile
the war with Spain broke out and the
eldest son, member of one of the
regiments, o. n. g., went to the front
and reached Chickamauga Camp. He
had been away from home but short
time when the owner of the dog called
and claimed his property.
1t was reluctantly given up, and the
youngest boy especially was 10th to
part with his pet. For pet he was,
although by nature fierce, for he was
black-eyed full-blooded bulldog.
The other day this youngest scion left
for Chickamauga Camp to visit his
brother, previous to his departure to
Tampa and the seat of war. He was
at breakfast one morning in one of the
taverns about the camp, with an eager
appetite, when ne felt something tug
ging at his trousers. He thought it
might be cat or some other treach-
erous quadruped. He paid no atten-
ton to it for a while. but the tugging
became more violent, apd looking un-
der the table, what did he see there
but his old canine pet, the black
eyed bulldog, apparently tickled to
death that his master had finally con-
sented to recognize him.
There was not much breakfast for
the boy after that. He gave the dog
all he had left of his breakfast and
ordered some extra meat for him be-
sides. Meanwhile the owner of the
dog came upon the scene, and learn
ing the facts from the son Of his old
friend, consented to have the animal
returned where, for so long time, he
had enjoyed a comfortable home

A report issued by the British For
eign Office says: $50 far as Great
Britain is concerned, the most dis
turbing feature of the japanese trade
of last year was the immense strides
made by American competition. The
value of United States imports rose
S5. .12S, 195, or ifty-seven per cent,
while those from Great Britain were
only 81, 1862, 440, or five per cent.
higher than in 1896. In the latter
year we held thirty-six per cent. of
the import trade into Japan; last year
the proportion had fallen to twenty
nine per cent Germany is not max
ing headway. In 1890 the value of
United States goods entering Japan
was only S6,S74, 531; last year it had
risen to $4,000, 537. In the same
space of time British imports grew
IRON $50, 6l9, 1O2 to S65, 4O2, ,266. Thus
the American rate of increase has been,
roughly, fourfold, while ours has been

oners remark and his beadlike ewes

onel's remark and his beadlike eyes
snapped as he turned away. For my
self L thought no more of it until it
was forcibly recalled to my mind some
time later. The next day We left Fort
Clark for scouting trip. At Newton,
where the Los Moras empties into the
Rio Grande, Longonio rode up and
asked permission to cross the river.
Fancying that he wanted to visit some
friends, and knowing that there was
no immediate need of his services, [
readily gave my consent. The greaser
swan his pony across the river and
disappeared in the chaparral. The
next saw of him was two days later,
when l rode into Fort Clark for my
mail. In the afternoon Longonio rode
down the officers line and stopped in
front of the Adjutant's Office. Sew
eral officers were standing around and
gazed in open-mouthed astonishment
at sight of the Mexican with dead
Indian behind him. He refused to
answer any of their queries and asked
for EEL Colonel Hearing the COM
motion the Colonel came out, and
before he could say anything Julian
cut the rope that bound the Indian to
his saddle, threw the corpse on the
porch at the Colonel's feet, and in
that soft, drawling voice SO peculiar
to the MeXicans, said:
" Gin cuenta pesos, Senor el Col
onel'
"Well, the Colonel was so thunder
struck at first that he was speechless,
but recovering himself presently, he
gave Longonio such talking to as
1 never heard before or since. The
Mexican sat like sphinx on his horse,
pretending not to understand English.
and when the Colonel was through, he
simply pointed to the dead Indian
and again said:
Gin cuenta pesos, Senor ell
| Colonel
"He got his 'cin cuenta pesos final
ly, but the Colonel intimated that if
he ever caught him around there again
he'd have him shot Longonio pock-
eted the money and rode away with
broad grin on his face to regain the
scouts. 1t seems he had lassoed the
Indian first, and started to bring him
in alive, but after dragging him mile
over the cactus plain, poor Los spirit
fed and another bad Indian was made
a good one by way of the Paradise

Deer Hunting With Eaples.

The berkute or bearcoote, the golden
eagle, is trained and used by the
natives of Tartary and the Kirghis
steppes for hunting foxes, wolves,
boars and deer. Mr.. Harting quotes
this description from Atkinson: eve
had not gone far when several large
deer rushed past a jutting point of the
rocks and bounded over the plain
about 800 yards from us. In an in
slant the bearcoote was unhooded and
his shackies removed, when he sprang
from his perch and scared into the
air. 1 watched him ascend as he
wheeled round, and was under the
impression that he had not seen the
animals; but in this l was mistaken.
He had now risen to q considerable
height and seemed to poise himself for
O minute.
"After this he gave two or three
flaps with his wings and swooped of
in straight line toward his prey. 1
could not perceive that his wings
moved. but he went at fearful rate
of speed. I gave my horse his head
and a touch of the whip; in a few
minutes he carried me to the front,
and [ was riding neck and neck with
one OF the keepers. When we were
about 900 yards offthe bearcoote struck
his prey. The bearcoote had struck
one talon into his neck, the other into
his back, and with his beak was tear
ing into the animals liver. Forest

Modest Hero's Work.

the bridge which spans the river at
Toms River, \. j., when Martin
Schwartz, eight years old, was dared
to cross the structure outside the guard
rail. Boy like, he took up the chal-
Ienge, and was accomplishing the feat
when another boy thumped his hands.
He let go Of the guard rail and fell
into the stream. The water at this
point is about twenty feet deep, and
the boy came up for the last time just
as Mr.. Bush, OF Elmira, was crossing
the bridge to take the train for New
York. Mr.. Bush sprang over the rail,
grabbed the lad, swan with him to
shore, left him in the hands of the ex-
cited crowd that had begun to gather,
and with his clothes dripping wet ran
for his train, which he caught as 1t
moved out of the station.

Business Life in Manila.

The average day of foreigner en-
gagged in business in Manila is some
thing as follows: A bath in the early
morning and then a light breakfast.
At seven o'clock the men go to their
business Offices and work until twelve,
when offices are closed and everybody
takes two hours rest, during which
luncheon is served, and then short
siesta taken. From two o'clock until
six or seven business is carried on as
in the morning; even the banks keep
open until five o'clock. When busi-
ness is over for the day, the employees
put on fresh white clothes and help TO
swell tie throng Of people who prom
enadc the streets, so that they are al
most impossible At eight o'clock
everybody is at dinner, which is the
social function of the day. The staple
food is rice, which is eaten by rich
and poor alike. Chicken is always
served at dinner, and native fruits.
All the potatoes that the Europeans
get come from China, and all the
wheat and flour from California. The
apples are brought from Hong Kong,
and sell at from ten to fifteen cents
apiece. The cost of living for Eu-
ropean is very high on account of the
extremely heavy duties imposed by
Spain. San Francisco ArgOnaut.

Notes.

1t is suggested that the Government
put wide tires on the army wagons.
Street pavements need to be some
thing more than hard and durable.
They should be smooth, noiseless and
easily cleaned and repaired.
Water should not be allowed to stand
along the roadside. bitches should
be kept clear and open in order to
carry it off quickly, as it IS liable other
wise to find It's way under the road
bed.
Steel tracks are claimed to make
the most perfect surface known; after
it comes crushed stone, on which five
times the power is required to haul a
load; then gravel, requiring ten times
the power; and, finally, common earth,
recurring twenty times.
