RUSSIA IN FOREIGN POLITICS.
Contrasted With the Position of Her
Internal Affairaa

\ Contrasted With the Position of Hell
| Internal Affairs
If we only look at Russia as a mighty
| force in foreign politics, we do not get
| the whole truth. We see a power sue
| cessful, wonderfully so, all along the
| line of her efforts and resolves, and, ]
might add, intrigues. But there is a
| weak side, and this is seen if we turn
our attention from her foreign policy to
regard the position of her internal af-
fairs. AT home all is in disorder de-
spite the best efforts and most amiable
intentions of the car and his advisers.
| Russia's internal policy does not keep
step with her development abroad, and
/ do not think I am going too far when
| say that all her efforts in the direction
of foreign policy are made at the ex-
pense of her home affairs. Her econom-
ic and financial position shows no sign
of improvement.
Only last year thirty million of her
people felt the stress of famine, three
years ago it was twenty million, six
years ago again thirty million, and so
on. Famine seems inseparable from the
per cent. of the population are peasants
pursue an insane system of agricul-
ture, which nothing will induce them
to alter or improve, and from one end
of the country to the other the forests
are being cut down at pace which is
rapidly drying up vast regions and ma
terially reducing the flow of water. in
the rivers. Even the magnificent Volga
feels the effect Of this systematic waste,
and no Russian cZar or minister has yet
thought of planting trees on any ade-
quate scale. Hygiene is unknown, and
whole traces of country are subject to
devastating sicknesses which ravage the
population with terrific violence. No
Russian statesman seems to heed this.
The military and naval burdens every
year assumes greater dimensions. Last
year it was over one hundred and fifty
million dollars for the army alone. In
ten years the military expenditure has
increased 30 per cent, and as fresh
steps have been taken by the war office
to reorganize and rearm the artillery,
it is likely enough that another thirty
million dollars will be added this year
to the army budget.
If we turn to the state of education in
the country We hnd that bessarly
tiftieth part of this. or three million
dollars, is what the car devotes to ed
ucational purposes. Three-fourths of
his subjects can neither read nor write;
in fiVe-sixths of the provinces of Eu-
popean Russia there is ridiculously
inadequate supply of village schools
The finance minister can find the mil
lions for the new artillery, but he
pleads the poverty of the country when
larger sums are demanded for the
schools. More significant than all this
is an item of five million dollars in the
budget for the enlargement and reor-

A TRAVELLED TRAVELLING BAG.

A Portland woman tells this story,
which may have a moral; Several years
ago her husband made her a present
of a travelling bag Of black Russia
Heather handsomely mounted, and
strong and serviceable. She had had it
only few days when the sister-in- Law
Of her boarding mistress borrowed it
to take with her to the White Noun
tains 1t loked so much nicer than her
own was her apology. 1t had only been
returned a few days when a friend who
was going to take little journey up
among the hills of oxford county, begg-
ed the loan of it, and again it was taken
down from 1.-The upper Shelf Then
another friend was to make a visit of
few weeks in Montreal. Could she take
it? She could and did. BY this time
tho new look had vaniehed, and still its
owner had had no occasion to, carry it.
One evening favorite cousin called.
He was captain Of a brig, which was to
sail for the coast of Africa the next
day, but he himself was going on a
steamer via England. Did his cousin
have valise she wouldn't need for six
months or SO? Reluctantly the travel
ing bag was produced, and that was the
last time the lady ever saw it for two
years, when it reached her by the hand
of sailor from the brig Gut it was in
such battered and forlorn condition
that she consigned it to the waste bar
rel. In the meantime she had bought a
new valise, which she declined to lend.

ADVICE TO A YOUNG COLT.
How He Would Treat Men If He Had {
Chance

|
when man drops from sheer ex-
lIaustion or illness, promptly seize an
endboard or a cart stake and pound hin,
an the head ar on the ribs. If this does
not recuperate hif, kick him violently.
This treatment will restore him if per-
| sstently administered.
IF a man finds ,lad too heavy for
his strength, knock him down and ham
mer him thoroughly with a club. This
| will increase HIS power and he will
make no more fuss, but do not on any
account decrease his load That would
look too much like common sense or hui
mainly. and he will be likely to ballz
again when overloaded.
''Ply the whip frequently on a man
who is at work. No matter if he is do
ing his best, hit him often, lest he take
some comfort. If his load is light
oblige him to go faster to make up for
it. Work, starve and abuse him enough
to reduce mans average life one-half
as is done with horses.
"Fasten your mans head in a
strained position, with his eyes up to
the sun. This will give him fine ap-
pearance and prevent stumbling. OF
course, he will not be able to do as
much work in this fix, but it makes him
wretched, and it is also stylish.
Make your man mind or kill him,
whether he understands what you want
or not. If he doesn't understand, club
bling will improve his intellect. Don't
manifest any patience Or sense, for that
ruins your authority The more
wretched you can make your man the
better.
IF man refuses to drink when you
offer him water don't give him any
water for two days. That will teach
him to be thirsty at any time you
choose to water him. In fact, he should
learn to do without water.
I'm winter remove his clothing to pre-
vent his taking cold. He will also dry
quicker when you overdrive him.
Hang blanket on his back with his
neck and limbs exposed, same as with
clipped horses. Men thus treated are
much healthier.
When your man is frightened do not
speak to him lest it soothe and assure
him, but saw his mouth violently and
lash him severely. Nothing allays
fright or nervousness like abuse.
If it is not convenient to feed your
man at noon let him go hungry, and by
active use of the whip secure as much
work as food would do. Of course, this
wears him out fast, but men are cheap
now and food costa money.
Put tight shoes on your man and
keep them there until he is lame. This
will make him thoroughly miserable, as
it does horses.
When you hire a man get all you
can out of him, and don't be ham,
pered by humane sentiment Nobility
consists not in wisdom or kindness, but
is manfully overriding the rights and
feelings of all other beings. I am sure
these rules are correct, for | learned
them when colt from my master, and
surely he knows what is right. And
does not man do as he would be done
