 The Turkish empire has been known for many years as the Sick Man of the East, and this title was first given to it by Nicholas, czar of Russia. On the night of the 9th of January, 1853, the British minister at the Russian 1 court, Sir George Hamilton Seymour, was at party gathering in the palace of the Archduchess Helen, when the Emperor Nicholas approached him and drew him into a conversation. This was chiefly with reference to eastern affairs, and in course of it he made the following remark as to Turkey and its position We have on our hands very sick man; it will be, tell you frankly, great misfortune il one ot these days he should slip away from us. especially before all necessary arrangements are made On the fol lowing 20tb of February he expressed himself again to the British ambassa. dor in the same strain.

Long Range Firing i.

No one who reads about the des- perate fighting going on in these iong- range, qHiek-fring days could have failed to be amazed at the small num- Der of resulting casualties. As a mat ter of fact, the firing begins when the eombatants are miles apart and ends before they can see the whites of each others eyes. There is no "hand=to- hand business as of yore. What kill ing is done is miscellaneous and aeci- dental This is particuL ly true with respect to the warfare now in progress in the Philippines. The fatalities among our troops mainly result from
 the fire of sharpshooters, who pick their victims off from the safe cover of inc jungle. The Filipinos have learned to protect themselves by keep ing out of range. Two or three severe lessons sufhced.-Philadelphia Record.

An Evidence of Prosperity.

It is generally conceded by economists,
who study. the commercial situation of tho
country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition.
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella-
ton of pleasure travel, while healthy con-
dition of affairs means business trips and an
increase of passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that a business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the
