Mendicant students.

Concerning the poorer students Of
Russia the Saturday Review says:
Their mendacity is passive rather than
active. Unlike the mendicant friars,
they never ask, but they know much
will be given them. They know, too
strange fact in strange country-that
the university is open to all. irrespec-
tive OF means or position. Thus the
university becomes the poor Russians
golden opportunity, for here, as else
where, there are many posts, for which
graduates alone are eligible. A stroll
through the streets of Moscow during
term time furnishes abundant evidence
of the popularity OF the university. The
uncompromising military blue and
green uniform which stamps the stu
dent. and which lie can never save
under dire penalties, exchange for
plain clothes. Is to be met with at
every turn. A few rich students are
caught sight of driving; the many are
on foot.

Bumaioes In Australia.

Buffaloes and elephants are by no
means approaching extinction as rap
idly rs is commonly supposed. In
mense herds of buifaloes roam about the
vast northern plains OF Australia, but
bloodthrsty blacks are also numerous
in that region, and buffalo-h hunters
carry their lives in their hands. Also,
according to the latest number OF the
British North Borneo Herald, large
numbers of elephants occupy the jun
giles to the south OF Sandakan bay. 1t
is suggested that they could be turned
into valuable asset for the colony
II decoy animals were imported from
India and the natives were taught how
to construct "kedahs," or trapping en-
closures.

An Encounter with n Mad BulI.

A telegram from Paris describes an
encounter with a mad bull at Mont de
Marsan. A woman was terribly in
jured and an officer who went to her
assistance with drawn sword was
tossed several yards and badly hurt.
A sergeant charged the animal with a
fixed bayonet, but was knocked down
and trampled upon, being frightfully
manged. The bull next charged the
village omnibus, killing both the
horses. Several villagers, armed with
rifles, at length succeeded in killing 1t.

HEAVY GUNS DESTROY EARS.

why So Many ArtiiIerymen sufrer From
Defective Hearing.
The stunning report OF each gun as
1t is fred is something that a stranger
on the deck OF a ship Of war will long
remember. There Is an old saying,
deaf as a post" Now in the English
navy this is changed to deaf as
post captain" No man can go through
without having his hearing seriously
affected. Some men put cotton in their
ears, but even this precaution does lit
tie to deaden the terrible shock. And
II the firing OF one or two guns has
such shattering power, what would
be the effect II the whole armament
were in action together? It is i'm
possible to conceive the strain on nerve
and senses Of the rending conclusion.
II a visitor watches the firing Of one
OF the monster nine-inch guns and then
places himself beside one of the small
er pieces, the report made by the one
will not appear much louder than that
Of the other. The extra distance to the
muzzle OF the big pieces discounts the
sound. The only apparent difference
between the two appears to be that
the small pieces have a sharper. high
er-pitched note, and that the six and
nine-inch guns speak with more OF a
believing roar. One piece OF advice
may be given to any one who finds
himself In the neighborhood Of a gun
In action. The noise will not have
nearly the same effect II you are
watching the gun as II the crash comes
Unexpectedly. Unconsciously nature
prepares you to resist shock which
is known to be impending.

Unique Household Decorations of Car

mon sylvia.
When 1t comes to unique fancies in
household decorations, Elizabeth,
queen OF Roumania. poet and senti-
mentalist, must be awarded the palm.
She was very much averse to electric
ity for illuminating purposes until
quite recently, and her boudoir was
lighted by crystal flowers, In the hearts
of which cleaned pale-colored lights
The palace Is filled with panel pic
lures and verses, all written by the
queen, or painted by her gifted court
ladies. The great dining hall Is orna-
mented with tall panels illustrating
novels, romances and poems. The room
Is very somber, being furnished with
black oak and cordovan leather, and
lighted only by stained glass windows,
brilliant in color and representing
court balls, wedding banquets and
other royal festivities, but neverthe-
less they prevent the sun from pene-
trating the gloomy grandeur OF the
apartment. This is why the queen, who
loves beauty and harmony. strictly for
bids the wearing Of black or dark
dresses at her table. She prefers a
uniform to conventional evening dress
and does not shrink from fancy dress
II 1t be gay and pretty. The queens
ladies in waiting are chosen from
the prettiest and cleverest girls In
Roumania, and several fine musicians
and talented amateur actresses and
artists are to be found among them.

A Greater Empire.

One of the vital principles OF in
ternal improvement is now attract
ing the attention of American
craftsmanship. 1t is at last before
the people in an intelligent, prac-
teal and positive way.
The cause of irrigation, the cause
of redeeming arid America, the
cause of controlling the river over
flows, all three in one, is now n
national proposition, and as such
must be treated by future Con-
crosses until the system is com
plete and perfect.
The building of great storage
reservoirs in the mountains of the
West, adjacent to arid America,
by the Federal Government, is Il
question that cannot be avoidedby
those who seek positions i'll the
Congress of the United States.
The construction of these rcScr-
vors by the Federal Government
has n two-fold purpose and II two
phascd principle.
The first is the reclamation of
that greater empire known as arid
America, furnishing homes for at
least 80 millions of people to be
added to the population of the L.
nitcd States, making paradise
ont of Il desert, adding to the pro-
ductivc capacity Of the United
States 80 per cent of the present
production, giving to civilization ii
territory as great as any that has
yet been given to this country,
furnishing homes at nominal cost
to millions of families that are to-
day homeless.
This is one of the phases of the
great question of irrigation under
national supervision. 1t is II ques-
ton that will not be set aside, be-
cause the men interested in it have
determined to present it to the a.
mercan people in its best possible
form.
1t is true this question is largely
Western in its effect, but what is
Western is American, and the PEG
pie of the United States have look
) ed to the West for many genera
. tons for homes and for profitable
production of all that enters into
making this a successful country.
The second phase of this ques-
ton is to prevent the vast tracts
of land situated along the river
from periodical Overiows, these
overhows causing annually enor-
l nous waste of property and great
destruction of life.
The storage reservoirs will fur
nish water for irrigation purposes
; and that water trickling down in
; to the rivers will be controlled anG
thus prevent overflows.
The water coming into the riv
ers will also serve dual purpose
,, The flow being under control, i
will be impossible to have great
floods. The flow being again con
trollcd will give deep water trans
portation in the rivers now not
navigable.
This is Il national question, ant
is attracting the atten ton of states
men of all sections of this country
1t will be put in the future plat
forms of the different parties AM
kept before the country unit
the reservoirs demanded are con
; structcd at government expense.
