Ignoring Berlin, London, Paris and
the other European banking centres,
the Russian imperial government has
come to New York for loan. A syndi-
cate of financial institutions of that
city-banks, trust companies and in
sulance companies-have just ar.
ranged the purchase of an issue of
$25,000,000 of four per cent bonds,
representing first mortgage on the
Wladikawkas Railway system. The
principal and interest of these bonds
is guaranteed by the Russian govern
ment, and is payable in American
gold dollars at the New York security
and Trust Company.
The nature and size OF this loan
and the disclosure which it makes Of
this country's present position as a
financial power of the world Is it's
most interesting feature. Another Is
the surprising showing 1t reveals as
to Russia's purchases in the American
market of iron. steel. coal and fin.

interesting fact of gold loan guaran-
teed by one of the great European
Powers selling in the American mar
ket at a price which nets the syndi.
cate slightly more than four per cent.

The burglar rushed at Mr.. Brewer
and struck at him with q knife. The
blow fell short. The point of the kaif0

wrenched the knife from his assail

superintendent, 0. o. Shackleton, on

behind him.
The man on the third floor could
hot escape. He ran frantically from
one end of the building to the other
until the flames hemmed him into a
small space near window on the
Cedar street side.
He opened the window, shouted for
help and was about to jump, when
Policeman Welsh and several others
called to him to wait, as a ladder

has learned to walk in this way, and
says that he feet grow less tired than

matter until after election, and the re-
suit had been positively determined.
Jonas had not forgotten the little bet,
and he undoubtedly concluded to
profit by the opportunity to teach his
son lesson. Aiming himself with a
pair of forceps, borrowed from den
tist, he suddenly appeared before his
son and gently reminded him of their

to squirm out of the affair by pleading

Let There BE LIEht.

Light and sunshine are good medi-
cines. They not only help to cure, but
they assist in preventing. 1t is strange,
therefore, that so many in the world
should be content to do without either.
We have windows and doors in our
houses, but there are many of us who
keep both closed as much as possible.
The sunshine fades the carpets and the
open windows let in dust which spoils
the furniture. That is what some
careful housewives say. There may
be something in this, but not much.
A faded carpet is much more desirable
than faded cheek, and dust is not the
worst thing that comes to us. Why,
the preachers tell us we are made of
dust, and to that condition we are sure
to return. So why be afraid of It? 1t
can be swept out and brushed out. But
there is only one way to get air into
the house and that is by not being
afraid of the dust or of the sun. We
pity with all our hearts, the tenement
house dwelling whose rooms open into
sunless shafts And yet there are
many of us who make our homes as
nearly like those ill-ventilated tene-
ments as possible. We have open
spaces on each side. The sun can
touch our windows in the morning
and in the evening, but we shut 1t out
so as to look fresh and keep clean No
greater mistake in domestic economy
was ever made.
