suffering for lack OF provisions and In some
cases the need has approached actual starva-

great extent by the formation OF q hcavy crust,
which Is nothing short Of q godsend to tho snow

On this crust. which Is in many places six
inches thick, men and horses travel with great
rapidity and the greatest ensc. without refer.

impossible for weeks, and everybody is making
PREPARATIONS as for n siege.
Reports from some Of the up-river lakes,
where, for some reason. the crust has not formed
or Is TOO weak to bear the weight OF men, say
that tho situation OF some OF tho imprisoned
logging crews Is critical. Their provisions arc
almost exhausted, and there is no prospect OF
relief for n week or more. Supplies for these

Numbers Of Persons Included in the Civil Ser
vice OF Various Countries.
The statement was published recently that
the number of persons in the classified civil ser
vice of Great Britain, exclusive, OF course, Of
the army, navy. constahulary, and elected OFF,
GERS. amounted to so. 200. with annual pay Of
$1,000, 600 or S35, 900. 900. An official state
ment made in Washington on March l showed
that the total number Of oficeholders in this
country was 1917. The aggregate salaries
amounted to $780, $50, 1907. The classified list Of
oHiccholders number 81, Jos. leaving In tho un-
classified list 81, goo. o. whom about $4,000 are
fourth-class Postmastois.
In Great Britain the Fost Office and telegraph
office employees are net included in the civil
service. Figuring the population of the United
States as now about double that Of Great Britain,
1t is seen that the number of persons in the civil
service of Great Britain is relatively creator
than it Is here. In France. b.. a recent compu.-
tation, there were In tho civil service of that

mon, a total. however, which included tho in

and the navy. In Austria Hungary. where
similar from those which prevail in Germany.
tho civil service includes 2oo. 900 persons, l20.-
900 in Austria and 80. 700 In Hungary. The
Austrian method OF computation. however. is
not one which would be likely to gain much
favor here. especially when there was n Leglsla-
ture in session at a State capital. Tho Austrian
division Of inhabitants is as follows: Farmers,
those engaged In manufactures. those engaged
in commerce., capitalists. those in tho civil ser.
vice. those In domestic service, and various
persons The designation OF "capitalist" would
never do in the United states. 1t would prove too
elastic-too large when there were no taxes to
be paid. too small. perhaps, when there were
taxes TO DO collectcd,,and n subdivision OF the
FOR another reason. because It would be difficult
to ascertain what was the dividing line between
the pcnury of the majority and the atiiuence Of
the few. and no such subdivision would be per-
manently popular here. In Spain a considerable
number OF the population nre returned as " va
grants and smugglers." but Spain is the only
country which preserves this sinister sub
division of its people; and there 10 no, separate
division for those in the public service. though
the colonial, maritime, and customs interests of
Spain require u very considerable number of
persons on the national payroll. Italy has a
large civil list, but no stated class of " Migrants
and smugglers."

ton to the reading public. This latest
work from his pen Will, We think >take
rank as his best. Indeed we regard ii as
one of the strongest books which has
been published in this country in recent
years. The scene is located in that very
dramatic period of the worlds history,
the Pauline era, and through graphic
character delineation deals with the
thought, customs, and religious systems
of that time. It's aim is to draw Il true
and well-proportioned picture of the ac-
tual conditions, avoiding an overdraWn
and debasing realism. often employed
for the sake of exaggerated contrasts.
With unimportant exceptions, Paul is
the only historic character, and those
who have been privileged to read the adj
vance sheets are of the opinion that the
various dramatic and psychological sit
uations which are depicted during his
unique development are remarkable. Vic
tor serenus, and the other leading person.
