Autumn.

The brooding mists hang DER the world.
And frost brewcd odurs ill the air.
The dying seasons hectic flush
Has touched the woods with beauty rare.

The hunters horn rings on the hill;
The opening burs the ripe nuts loose
For squirrels 10 plumber at their Will.
Low bends the orchards fruitful boughs;
The vines their purple offerings hold;
And in the corniield greets the eve
The pumpkins sunny coat Of gold.
The rose that blushei al summers kiss
Has joined sweet mem ries Of the pas.

And idle pleasures cannot last
But though the bloom of spring has fled,
And summers softness Slipped away,
In autumn'S fruits find fulfilled
The promises of fragrant May.

Russia Not Disarmin e.

The Russian military budget for 1899
is a considerable increase upon the
outlay of last year. The only chap
tiers upon which any reductions APP
pear are for forage, new artillery ma
terial and work upon the Transcas-
plan Railway, and these are quite in
considerable.
The central administration absorbs
2,521 Iii roubIes and the local admins
tration nearly 100000. For training
there is charge of 9,5OS,351 being an
increase of almost a million and a
half.
The chapters for clothing and equip
ment, for provisions, for pay and al
lowances, and for barracks all show
considerable increases. The following
are the respective figures in roubles,
those for last year being given in
parentheses: -24,s99 ,972 (23,532, O62),
47,3O0,195 (46,O49, 1850, 7O,S63,s71 (64,-
635,O22), 20,193,937 Q7,535,315).
In the sum for constructive work, in
round figures, 25,5OO,OOO, the increase
is over 100000. The military admin
istration of Turkestan and the Trans
caspian absorbs 1,244,171 roubles, a
slight increase, and there is the same
charge as last years, 100000 roubles-
for the development of the Transcap-
sian. There is no increase in the chap
ter for armament (19,22O,773 roubles).
An entirely new charge of 100000
