Manchuria contains about 100000
square miles, being one-third larger than
miles of its boundary adjoins Russian
territory. The condition of the country
is such that the population is distributed
in a very irregular manner. The north
ern province of Tsi-tsi-kar, having 1907
600 square miles, is largely mountainous.
and is thinly populated. 1t contains un-
known but probably vast mineral re-
sources and extensive forests. while a fer
tile territory, now almost entirely unoc-
cupied. extends for 1000 miles along the
south bank of the Amur and its princi-
pal tributary, the Aigun.-Review of Re

Although the Earl of RoSebery is nat
urally proud of his stately home of Dal-

those connected with the visits of Queen
Victoria and Mr. Gladstone. His lord

tie, hard by in the park, which dates
as far back as the Conquest. and came
into the possession of his ancestor. Sir
Archibald Primrose, lord iustice-general
of Scotland, in the year 1852. OF course
it has since been restored, and now
forms one of the finest specimens of the
old baronial style in Scotland. The fact
that the electric light is at present be-
ing installed within the castle is arous-
ing some criticism on the part of some
people who think that such a new-fan-
gled invention is out Of place in a struc-
ture which has all the associations of a
feudal keep. But the truth is that Lord
RoSehery, in restoring the castle, meant
it to he used as an annex to Dalmeny.
and thus TO be as habitable and com
Portable as possible. Hence the electric

cially the banqueting hall and the libra
ry, which contains Boehm's famous
statue of Carlyle. 1t is said that the
earl does a good deal OF hard reading
here, and that his recent study Of Ma
poleon ut st. Helena was completed AT

Concerning the College Education.

If likely lad could not get on in this
country without a college education
things would have come to a bad pass
with us, for to a majority of American
boys college training is unattainable OF
course young fellows who have it in
them can make their way in the world
and get rich without even the rudiments
of Latin, or more than moderate knowl-
edge of mathematics. 1t also goes with
out saying that the school of hard work
generally has its training and its prizes,
both of unique value for those who have
the stuff in them TO win them. Never
theless that does not affect the basis of
the opinion that the three or four years
an average lad spends in college is profit
ably spent.-Harper's Weekly

At the opening of the Naval War col
lege at Newport, r. l., Assistant Secre
tary Hackett related the following Incl
dent: The sinking of Cervera's fleet
was not the execution of n plan sudden
ly inspired. On the contrary, that mem
orable July forenoon saw wrought out
that which in its beginnings at least
was rehearsed, so to speak, within these
very walls. An incident that occurred
not long after the close of the war
serves 10 illustrate my meaning. Rear
Admiral Sampson happening to be here,
saw suspended on the wall large
chart of the Cuban coast. 1t bore GER
tain marks that denoted the movement
of war vessels. The admiral took it 10
be chart that had recently been pre-
pared for the purpose of illustrating GER
tain features of the Spanish war. 1t
turned out, as Il matter of fact, that he
was looking at a working model that
had been put to use two years before
the war in the study of an imaginary
campaign against Spain.

Railway arches have doubtless been
put TO mutitudinous uses from time to
time and more particularly in the neigh
borhood of London, where they may be
seen serving the purpose of stable or
church. The sanitary inspector of Beth
nal Green has, however, been devoting
his attention to the operations beneath
an archway in that part of London.
About a year ago certain persons were
prosecuted and heavily fined for selling
and using for human food material pur,.
chased from cats and dogs meat dee'-
err, the lessee of railway arch, and some
what similar mysteries have again been
enacted in the same neighborhoOd, but
outside the district of Bethnal Green.

cats meat trade had ceased, but by
means of midnight vigil the sanitary in
spector ascertained that the cats meat

able trouble a butcher in Hackney was
followed home with a consignment of
this material which on arrival ut the
butchers premises was seized and cOh-
demned. We are glad to hear that furth-
er legal proceedings are impending.
The inspector is OF the opinion that an
enormous amount of this Objectionable
substance. highly seasoned with condi-
ments. and, perhaps, we would add,
temptingly colored, is dealt with and that

Lime Honey the Best in the World.

The tree of a thousand uses" as the
lime has been called, was formerly plant
ed in England much more than it is to-
day. The little row of pollard lines in
front of the old farmhouse or the sub
stantial matched cottage is still a famil-

lines are very pleasant features of some
of the large country houses. the manor

the best honey in the world is made from

The Sandy Hook Pilots club IS not in

exclusive club in New York. You might
apply for admission to membership now.
but you wouldn't get IN for ten or twelve

than some present members if you got in

FORT OF APPLES.
Novel Design of Fruit is on Its Way
to Buffalo.

novel design OF Il rulC is on Ats way
to Buffalo.
There has been shipped to the Pan
American exposition. from Minnesota, a
novel design of fruit, for the horticul-
ture building. The design is that of a
which the cannon protrude. The base
is occupied by shelves covered with fruit
and decorated with mirrors artistically
arranged. From the center rises high,
round turret. The face of the turret is
closely covered with apples. The can
non are covered with crabapples and
at the mouth of each gun, white dove
of victory is perched. The space re-
quired by the fort is 24x24 feet. The
structure is & feet high, and at a door
at the base is high enough to admit a
grown person. Inside is room for a small
office for the Minnesota commission. 1t
takes seventy bushels of apples to con-
struct the fort, which will be replen-
ished, in part, daily. 1t is estimated
that it will take 200 bushels of apples
to keep the fort fresh and nice from the
time it arrives until the end of the Pan
American exposition.
The Minnesota board of managers to
the Pan-American exposition discovered
the fort of apples, at the Minnesota
State fair, last Tuesday. They made
inquiries and found that the novel struc-
ture had been designed by a gardener
named Nordeen. who is in the employ of
]. NJ. Underwood, the proprietor of the
famous Jewell nursery at Lake City,
MINI. The board of managers at once
made arrangements TO secure the trans
portation of the tower to Buffalo. A
refrigerator car has been secured and it
is now on its way. 1t will require the
services of a half dozen men for a
week to erect the exhibit after it ar
rives in this city. Mr. Nordeen. the de-
Slgner will como To Ruffaio with II and
will supervise the erection.-Buffalo

A proposition has been made to the Do
minion government by Quebec capitalists
to establish cold-storage depot in the
county Of Argenteuil in return for a
subsidy of $1,000. The object of the
scheme is to preserve the food products
of the farmers in the best possible con-
dition, with a view to their ultimate
shipment abroad, or sale in the domestic
market, when prices are most favorable.
1t is not probable that the scheme will
be entertained by the government, as it
would result in similar applications from
all over the country and involve a large
expenditure

British builders are making inquiries
for material at the Maine granite quar-

utation of being the best in the world.
The Maine granite is said to be equally
as fine as the Scotch rock, and the fact
that the stone can be loaded directly
into vessels gives it an advantage in
cost over the product of the Scotch quar-
ries, which has to be handled by rail and
pay high English railroad freights.
