The wages of common soldier in Russia are three rubles per annum- about $225. The rations are, daily, two pounds of suchary, which is very course kind of bread made of cracked rye, baked hard at first, then cut in small pieces and further dried in heated oven; small quantity of salt and some soup. The soup is boiled in a huge caldron capable of holding 400 gallons. Into the water is cast some cracked barley, together with the shell dirt, and to this little salt is added, but nothing of the meat kind enters into the composition. The soup is dealt out by a number of men with dippers, every soldier in his turn re- ceiving his allotted quantity. Some times an adventurous fellow presents a larger vessel than the regulations re- quire, and when detected in the effort to get more than his share is punished with one hundred lashes on his naked back.

Vienna has been astonished lately by some daring steeple climbing. A stee- pie jack celebrated the beginning of the festivities for Emperor Francis Jo- seph's jubilee by climbing in the night to the top of one of the steeples of the Votive Church, S06 feet from the ground, by means of the lightning rods and architectural ornaments, and hanging on 1t a yellow and black ban ner twenty feet long. He gave a mil mute description of the manner in which he accomplished his foolhardy feat to the newspapers. A few nights later some one else initiated him by climbing the steeple and stealing the flag.

The French, government has decided to issue nickel coin, with value be- tween the half franc and the ten cen- time piece. It was suggested to M. Daniel Dupuis, who is to design the new coin that it might have hole in the center, like certain Chinese coins of small denomination, which are strung together on a string. M Dupuis, how ever, objected that this would interfere with his artistic handiwork, and the Idea was abandoned.

< The Troy Times tells of a little girl who had been naughty. When bed time came her mother said to her: Now, Mabel, when you say your prayers be sure to ask God to help you not to be a naughty little girl" Mabel promised, that she would add this petition to her prayers; so when she had finished her usual form she spoke as follows: And now, o God, please keep Mabel from being a, naughty little girl. There was a pause. then she concluded: "Neverthe- less. Thy will, not mine, be done!"

QUESTION OF COAL SUPPLY.
How Spain is Handicapped by the Strike Of
Welsh Golfers.

The question Of coal even in It's own
country is very serious one to Spain.
While Basque and several OF its prov
inces OF the Bay OF Blscay have such
deposits. they are almost inaccessible
from the sea coast and the cost of
transportation is such that foreign coal
is used almost exclusively in all of the
seaport towns. Fully IS per cent comes
from Cardif1. in Wales, the bulk of 1t
being sent in British steamships which
are bound for the cities on the Mediter-
ranean and Suez canal. While a small
tonnage comes from Belgium and
France, the quantity Is insignificant.
the Cardiff regions has developed to
such proportions as to seriously curtail
the output, This has already raised the
price OF Welsh coal considerably. and
even were 1t not Il contraband article
since the declaration Of war, the price
delivered at West Indian points would
be so high as to prohibit Its importa-
tlon. Cut OFF the main source OF fuel
supply and Spain. 1t is conceded by
those in the best position TO know,
would be at the mercy of the United
States or any other hostile power. Eng
land supplying the bulk Of coal for
Spanish use would prevent any other
country from furnishing IT, since such n
step would cut Off her revenue in addl-
ton to violating the articles OF inter
national agreement relative to contra
band articles. The predicament in
which Spain Is placed will thus be per-
ceived, and the end Of the present hos
Titles may be quickly decided by n far
mare peaceful agency than force of
Independent.
