A newspaper correspondent, writing
from Moscow, states that the Russian
government is extending its plans for
railway through Persia, so as to
take in Arabia and the Red sea coun-
try. There is already Russian rail-
way from Resht, on the southwestern
coast Of the Caspian sea, to Kasbin,
near Teheran. The Russian plan to
carry railway line from Teheran to
Bushir, on the Persian gulf, is ex-
tended, not abandoned, and the project
when developed will give railway COM
munication between European Russia
and northeastern Africa, besides max
ing possible the mobilization of troops
near the Afghan frontier.

Secretary Wilson of the agricultural
department had less to say on the pres
ident's recent trip south than most of
the other members of the party. He
did take occasion, however, to advise
some of the colored people whom he
met to plant clover and raise sheep
and cattle. THE trouble" he said, els
that you keep too many dogs and too
few sheep. The cost of feeding one
dog would raise two sheep or one hog. I"
Another economic statement was that
if all the salaries received by the poll
ticians were compared with the value
of the eggs laid every year, it would
be found that there was more money
in hens than in politics.

The Department Of Agriculture is do
ing all it can to make the best of bad
matter-the free seed distribution. In
his annual report the secretary states
that the division of botany has been in
trusted the task of testing all the seeds
sent out by the department, not only
those of the regular departmental dis
tribution, but those imported through
the recently established section of seed
and plant introduction and those pro-
cured in other ways for the expert
mental work of the various divisions.
Never before has the department dis
tributed seeds of higher purity and
germinative capacity than during the
past year. Furthermore, an elaborate
series Of field tests was made to ascer-
tain whether the seeds were really of
the varieties stipulated in the contract
1t was found that in several cases the
varieties were wholly at variance with
the contract, seeds of cheaper varieties
having been substituted, presumably
by the subcontractors. The fact that
these varieties were not true to name
could not, Of course, be ascertained for
several months after the seeds were
distributed, but portion of the pur-
chase money was withheld, pending the
result of the field tests, and a common
surate reduction was made in the price
paid for the seed. The principal bene-
fetal result of this action is expected
to lie in its warning to future con-
tractors that they will be paid for no
inferior seed. whether this inferior,ty
is due to themselves or to their SUBJ
contractors.

There are survivals of old-world
superstitions still existing in this coun-
try which, though perhaps harmless,
bring curious sense of wonder to a
rejecting mind. A pennsylvania
German" whose wife had recently de-
serted him, ascribed her disappearance
solely to witchcraft. The customary
method of procedure among his people
in such cases is to imnerse a pair of
the delinquent's stockings in pot of
water, place the pot upon a hot fire and
keep it boiling for twenty-four hours.
This is supposed to be infallible. The
belief is that it will break the spell
under which the woman is laboring,
and will cause her such uneasiness that
she will gladly return home, but will
also inf1ict dreadful pains upon the
person who had bewitched her. The
husband followed the formula, but the
result is not stated.

Results Of Foreign Missionary Work
in the Nineteenth Century" Young
Peoples Work in the Churches" and
THE Condition Of the Continental
Churches"
The results Of this great alliance OF
churches have been most encouraging.
1t has brought about unifcation Of
the foreign mission work Of its church.
es in Japan, Brazil and other places.
and has succeeded in establishing
closer relations between foreign mission
workers in many lands In home mis-
sion work the alliance has succeeded
in bringing about plan of co-opera-
tion between most Of the Presbyterian
and Reformed churches in the United
States The influence OF the alliance
has been exerted upon the British and
American governments for the regula-
tion Of the liquor traffic in the islands
of the Pacific, and it has also been
used with some success upon the ma
tions of the world in support Of the
principle Of international arbitration.
SOME OF THE RESULTS ACCOM-
PLISHED.
The alliance has brought into sympa-
thetic and beneficial relations churches
scattered throughout the world, and an
evidence Of the helpfulness of the or
ganization is that the churches Of the
continent are to-day stronger and more
hopeful than they were at the time Of
the establishment of the alliance. An
other illustration of the influence of the
alliance is found in the union effected
between the Presbyterian churches ant
missions in South Africa Also in q
movement for federatian among tn,
churches of Australia.
An idea Of the great number o
church people represented by the dele
gates to the council at Washington
may be gained by noting the fact tina
there are in the world about ninety dis
dnct religious bodies holding the Pres
byterian system. Most Of these arr
known either as Presbyterian or Re
formed churches. and together the!
have a total number Of adherenti
amounting to almost 25,OOO,OOO people
The results Of the Washington council
will, therefore, be felt from one end o
the world to the other. and the Presby
terian and Reformed churches vii
show themselves by it, as by their pre-
vious councils, a great united power il
the life and progress of the church uni
versal.
