Keep an Eye on Russia.

But let us examine closely for mo-
ment the supposed friendship of Russia
for the United States 1t is not, it can
not be, other than mere words. States
do not differ that are never brought in
contact, and where there is no contact
there is no rivalry, and professions of
friendship may do no harm and can do
little good. But what is there between
the United States and Russia in COM
mon that can make them allies?
Russia aims at two things-to pre-
vent an Anglo-American alliance, and
to prevent the United States from ever
acquiring any voice in the direction of
affairs in the far east The policy of
Russia was not matured in a day. Rus
STA did not withdraw from America I'M
til she had possession of the lower
Amour until she had awakened the
fears of Japan, had taken possession of
one of the islands and had driven her
into the family of nations, where Japan
hoped she might find allies among civ
ilized states. Russia intended that the
Monroe doctrine should effectually
estop the United States from having
any voice in the settlement of any
Asiatic question. She may say, "You
can no more acquire by conquest the
Philippine islands than Russia or France
can acquire Cuba. "
Russia withdrew from Alaska for
two reasons-to exclude the United
States from having any voice in respect
to questions touching the eastern shore
of Asia and to prevent Alaska in case
any future conflict with the United
Kingdom should arise from becoming a
part of British America, and it was so
understood at the time by every Japa-
nese statesman. North American Re

How Soldiers Size Up.

The Yankee is a much bigger man
than the Spaniard, and that is an i'm
portant advantage for the American in
this war With all his pride of race the
naughty don is a little fellow. In stat
ure he is least among the Europeans
averaging only 5 q inches over feet.
The soldier who fights under the stars
and stripes averages 8 feet ~ inches
in his stocking feet, he weighs ten
pounds more than the Spaniard, and
his chest girth is nearly two inches
greater. These are points that count.
OF course size is not everything in a
soldier. Never in history has it counted
for so little as it does today, inasmuch
as modern warfare is conducted chiefly
by machinery, battles are fought at
long ranges and hand to hand encoun-
tiers are rare. The Japanese are smaller
than the Spaniards, yet there are no
fiercer fighters. The American Indians,
on the other hand, are superior In stat
ure to the Yankees. But, other things
being equal, the bigger man has an ad-
vantage. The Yankee is the tallest of
civilized men In Europe only the Nor
wegian approaches him nearly in this
respect, and the Englishman is a full
inch shorter.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

The Phrase mBottled Up

The expression bottled up" is at
tributed to General Grant, SO far as it
relates to military affairs.
In May, 1864, Ben Butler, at the
head of 80, 900 Federal troops, landed
at Bermuda Hundred, on James river,
and advanced upon Richmond and Pc
tersburg. The Confederates were taken
by surprise somewhat, and Butler was
able to push his lines up to the Rich
mond and Petersburg turnpike. He
thus got in between Richmond and Pc
tersburg. He also made some dangerous
movements nearer Petersburg.
Confederate troops were, however,
summoned from Charleston and from
Lees army, and Butler was attacked
GEAR Drewry's Bluff and at Port Wait
hall station and was driven back to
Bermuda Hundred. There he was hem
med in between the James and Apo
mattox rivers and the Confederate lines,
so that he could not move forward nor
to the right or left. He was, however,
relieved of danger when Grant came
down to Richmond and Petersburg from
Spottsylvania.
Buffers unhappy position on the
narrow neck of land where Bermuda
Hundred is situated led Grant to say
that Butler could not have been more
effectually disposed of eff he had been
bottled up, Richmond Dispatch.

CANON "a ANGER ON BURNS.
He Doubts That His Work Was Appreci-
ated In England.

Tn the second of his lectures on
"Some Leaders In the Poetic Revival,
1850 1890" delivered at the Royal in
stitution recently, Canon Anger, dis
cussing Burns doubted whether his
work. with the exception of few
pieces, was ever very widely known or
appreciated in England. Readers would
not take trouble and were repelled by a
dialect that contained number OF I'M
familiar words, while in addition to the
dialect difficulty there was certain adj
mixture of free speech on religious and
other matters that might easily offend
those who were particular in such
things.
Burns best and lnost characteristic
work was written in the peasant speech
of his native Ayrshire, but the English
enthusiast following the line of least
resistance probably began with the
poems written in English. In these the
poet was not at his best, though the
lecturer could not go so far as to say,
with some critics, that English was a
foreign language to him. His English
poetic style was founded on a poetic
school that was already in decay, and
he wrote English verse under the infu-
ence of bad models. He was not indis-
criminate or inartistic in his use OF
English, and it was no foolish literary
ambition that led him to abandon the
vernacular.
The alienation of English and Scotch
in the "Cotter's Saturday Night, " for
example, was methodical and .consti-
tuted one Of the secrets of its beauty
and effectiveness. Nor could the lee
turer admit that that poem was senti-
mental if by sentiment was meant clap
trap. False sentiment did not last, but
Burns sentiment is as true and sweet
and pure now as it was 100 years ago.
1t was as a song writer that he was best
known to many though he did not
make his first appearance in that char
acter Of songs he wrote literally hun
dreds, naturally of differing merit. But
the best were transcendent and almost
unique.
They came as reminder that in lit
erature and art the difference between
first and second rate was infinite, though
between second and third and fourth
rate it was insignificant. AS story
teller in lyric measures Burns had no
equal In the development of poetic art
he stood at the parting of the ways
the climax of the old and the harbinger
of the new. He was the greatest of Scot
fish poets though not the last His in
fuence on English poetry was inoalcu-
liable, and it was he, if any one, who
broke up the frost that had settled on
lyric poetry at the end of last century.

Humanity In War.

For the mass of fighting men war is
a generation ago, because the destruc-
tive forces employed are so great that
many of the most risky maneuvers
which were considered of first impor-
lance in military art are now obsolete.
A charge against well equipped and
trained foe would not now be attempt
ed. Pickett's fatal attempt at Gettys-
burg will probably go into history not
only as the most terrific, but also as
about the last example of a desperate
charge. -Philadelnhia Press.

He may invent indeed an eminently ap-

An Ancient Custom.

A curious incident occurred the other
Sunday at st. Georges chapel, Windsor
castle. The choir boys, i'll accordance
with an ancient custom, claim 3 shil-
lings from any military man wearing
his spurs duriNg divine service. An off
Ger who had innocently come to church
in his spurs was noticed by some of the
choristers, who, much to his surprise,
demanded the fine as he was about to
quit the castle The money has been
claimed several times during the last
few years and has generally been paid
after little demur by most of the vic
tins, while others have Indignantly re-
sisted the levy.-London Letter.

Gladstone and the Nervous Citrate.

1 happened to be in a church one
Sunday morning when Mr.. Gladstone
came in. 1t was a church he attended
very rarely, so he was quite unexpected,
He had much difficulty in finding a
seat, for it was free and open church
and apt to crowd up dreadfully. A Gu
rate deacon whom we all loved, but
whose forte was not preaching, happen
ed to be in the pulpit and caught sight
of the prime minister as he hurried in
and looked around for chair. 1t was
almost his first sermon, and, nervous
before, this quite upset him. This Mr..
Gladstone quickly perceived, and, pick
ing up his hat and umbrella, he scurriGd
to the top of the church and, finding a
seat among the children, sat through
the whole of long sermon with his
hand to his ear, paying the most mark
ed attention to every word. This gave
the curate-I am sorry to say he is since
dead-more courage, but after the serv-
ice Mr.. Gladstone took an opportunity
of thanking him. Letter in London

Courage In War.

Lieutenant Scott, who was in the en-
gagement ut Cardenas in which young
Bagley was killed, says courage in war
consists largely of keeping busy. "Once
a man becomes busy with the guns he
thinks only of shooting, not of getting
shot, and his knees are stiff with the
desire to do injury" The lieutenant,
however, admits of thinking of his own
safety at one time during the fight
when he saw a she'll burst and make
buttonholes in everything its fragments
struck. "-Savannah News.
