MISSING BASTION.

Search has been made at Oxford.
England, for the missing bastion of
the city wall. An extraordinarily fine
piece of the wall surrounds the garden
of New college, and makes it really
the most beautiful in Oxford. But be-
tween this and the bastion which for
merly existed in the garden of the
rector of Exeter college all trace had
been lost except the fine medieval
carving in the house facing the Bod
leian, which was, as known from doc
umentary evidence, abutting ON a bas-
Jion.
Excavations now being made in the
angle between the Bodleian and the
Sheldonian theater reveal ample traces
of the missing bastion and a number
of ancient tobacco pipes and glass bot
ties, resembling those in which bene-
dictine Is sold, with a protuberance ON
the top of the bulb to receive a seal.
The next bastion was, as has been
mentioned, in the garden of the rector
of Exeter; the next is in the premises
of the furniture maker opposite Bal
liol; and the next adjoins the ancient
church of ST. Michaels, in the Corn
market, famous for its perfect Saxon
tower. The Dastion opposite Balliol Is
particularly interesting as having
formed the prison of Latimer and Rid
ley before their martyrdom

THE MARCH OF MEN.

II you could cast away the pain.
The sorrovs, and the tears,
From all departed years;
II you quite forget the sighs
What thiuk you: would you be as wise,
AS helpful, or as strong2
II you could lay tho burden down
That bows your head ut whiles,
Shun everything that wears u frown
And live life of smiles;
Be happy as a child again,
AS free from thoughts of care
Would you appear to other men
More noble or more fair?
Ah no! II man should do his part
And carry all his load,
Reioiced to share with every heart
The roughness of the road;
Not given to thinking overmuch
OF pains and griefs behind,
But glad to be in fullest touch
With all his human kind.
-Chas. E. Buxton, in Harper's Weekly.

ODD FACTS ABOUT THE GEAR.

In Russia the czar's will is the only
law, and 1t follows that he can name
any man he likes as his successor-a
barber, for example. AS a matter OF
fact. the czars have lately observed the
laws laid down by their predecessors.
but they used not to, and there is no
power to compel them to do so.
The czar commands an army of q
$50, ,496 men, who know no higher law
than his will. He has q personal es-
tate OF more than a million square
miles of cultivated lands and forests.
besides gold and other mines in ST.
IBERIA. His wealth is simply incalcula-
BILE, and probably inexhaustible. Pub
lie documents give no account of his
income. as they do in other monarchial
countries.
Although the position of the czar
may appear an enviable one, 1t has
many disadvantages. The mortality
among czars Is probably higher than
among match factory operatives. Peter
Ill, grandson of Peter the Great, was
murdered in 1862. Paul. son Of Cath
crime H., was murdered in 1901. Alex
ander was assassinated by the Nihi-
Lists in 1881. The late czar, Alexander
Ill, died prematurely through the con-
stant fear of assassination. The cZar
possesses the most splendid collection
of jewels of any person in the world
monarch or millionaire. These, OF
course, are of more Importance to his
wife than to him.

not intended seriously, and IL was high

official confirmation of our diagnosis of
the case so far as the presidents is con-

see as far into milestone as the man
