A NATION GOING.
tinIGnd's National Existence Will Soon
 Is Thing of the Past.


 Tragedies Of history are becoming so numerous in the world just now that the world ceases to wonder. One of the latest moves in the crushing out of Finland by the heavy hand of the great white czar" is the requisitioning by Gov Bobrikoff, Russia's tool, of sample copies of all text books used in Finnish schools. Russia, which has suppressed the Finnish newspapers thought to be inimical to a programme of plotting out Finnish nationality, is now, it is thoue&' preparing to lay it's hands upon fro l'i l.sh system of edu- cation. Th unexpected attack on Fin nish natio1e' irte-ei ity was begun on Feb. f5, lS.j - d ukase of the czar, which mace t2 legislature of the grand duchy a mere council for con- sultat,on for recording the imperial wishes. The czar refused to listen to Finnish protests. and the programme of making Finland Russian province has gone steadily on ever since. A people which from time immemorial has had constitutional government and it's own system of religious, mili- tary and educational organization Is to be dominated by nation having brute force as it's chief recommends ton. Finland, with the smallest per centage of illiteracy in Europe, is to be ovefrun with benighted Russian nou- jiks and reduced to the educational level of Russia iself While the czar of Russia was issuing his call for a universal peace congress his minions were crushing out the national life of Finland. The memorable system Of Russia is stronger even than the czar. His humane sentiments cannot stand in the way of Russian world policy. Neither can a0y considerations of civ ilizations or humanity stand in the way. The crushing out of Finland is one of the darkest of the many trage- dies now being enacted on the stage of world history. It is not relieved even by a gleam of promise for better civ ilization in she country which is to lose it's national life, Yet the world looks on iadif'erantly. \ general callousness seems to have taken hold of nations The 7 of the weak and oppressed brings ID response Sympathy seems to be altogether with the strong X nation may do anything it is powerful enough 10 do-B2ltimore News.

NEW BUSHELW o M A N.


An Ancient Practice Revived with Mod
 improvements.
 The Turkish bath in the larger cities of the world has developed new in dustry for woman. Thus far, says the New York Post, there is no name for 1t, but it comes close to what in the old days was known as the trade of a bushelwoman. The modern edition and modification, however, gives it an entirely different character. The first one appeared in New York this week and made so successful a debut that others will undoubtedly come forward in the next month or two. A lady vis- its bath and, after disrobing and donning her bathing tunic, hands over her clothing to the bushelwoman. She ing, strengthens or replaces buttons and presses the different pieces of the wardrobe which need that kind of work Then with an atomizer she sprays 1t with perfumed disinfeetant and hangs the article in heated room so as to expel all moisture The pro cess takes from half hour to an hour and half, which is less than the time required for Russian, Turkish, Ro- man or electric bath. The garments come out neat. spotless, "dressy" and void of all germs. The cost is moder- ate and the satisfaction to the wearer unSpeakahle.

Years Prices.
 It costs good deal more to live to- day than it did twelve months ago. Mir William Alstrom of Kimberley road, NHnhead, the general secretary of the newly formed London Coffee and Eating House Keepers association, estimates that ( will purchase no more food now than 15 shillings would 6 year ago. For instance" he said 70 London Mall representative, meat has gone up IS per cent in price. flour 1212 per cent, eggs 15 per cent, bacon 90 per cent, entrants as much as 220 per cent, raisips so per cent. sultanas 50 per cent. butter 71a per cent lard U per cent, and even such accessories as mustard and vinegar have increased in price.
 "The coffeo-h0use keepers have been obliged 10 raise their prices, for they saw insolvency looming ahead. A large number have banded themselves together and resolved to sell no more halfpenny sups of tea, no more half penny boiled or fried eggs, no plate of hot meat under 5d, no plate of cold meat for less than 3d and no buildings at less than 4d each Why, even our eIockery has gone up 20 per cent, ; added the general secretary, and as for coal and gas everybody knows what huge increase has taken place in the prices of these necessaries What has gone down?

The Brit ish public have not forgotten that il js an American bridge which crosses the Athara and that it was placed there by American engineers, because nc British firm could guarantee it's completion within six months of the time specified on the other side of the Atlantic.

The Ice Floods oI Iceland.

Dr Thorvald Thoroddsen in recent papers gives a curious picture of life and scenes in Iceland. Settlements are limited to the lowlands, yet even these are not safe places of abode, for they are exposed to lava floods, river floods and showers of volcanic ashes When the glaciers of the dome-shaped moun- tains are suddenly melted by volcanic heat, overwhelming torrents. bearing immense masses of lee and fragments of rock, sweep down the river-beds. Yet with all their disadvantages the inhabitants of the narrow loWlands of Iceland enjoy universal education, and among them more books and newsp,.- pers are published per head of popula- ton than in any other country.

AN ABLE CRITICISM.

There is more common sense, mole
logic. better business acumen ana sound
er political economy il Mr.. VIM. En-
twistle's criticism of Senator McLaurin's
position than we have seen anywhere.
Mr.. Entwistle is successful cotton mar
'ufacturer of Rockingham, Richmond ooun-
ty-one of the most practical and sue
cessful mill men in North Carolina. His
utterance will deserve to have aud will
receive great weight. Referring to this
article, which first appeared in the Rock
ingham Anglo-Saxon, that paper wisely
and truthwully says:
"Mr. Tillman, with his pitchfork, has
not gotten under the hide of the junior
Senator from South Carolina as success
fully as our townsman, Mr.. William En-
twstle, has in this issue, with his ire
futable facts his sound logic and his eff
fective ridicule. Mr. Entwistle has been
a careful student of public questions.
but he too rarely contributes to public
discussion, and this paper was prepared
by him after earnest solicitation. His
views mark very closely the old Demo-
cratic doctrine, for which the times are
more ripe now than ever before in our
history He has all along been a staunch
believer in the gold standard, but it is
altogether improbable that that issue
will ever again divide the two parties.
and upon the live public questions Of Tic
day his views, formed more with the need
TO the cotton mill industry to which he
has devoted his life, than to conform TO
any political creed, mark out course
which the Democratic party can, and we
believe will follow with honor to its pass
and success and honor for its future, and
for the best interests of the whole coun-
try''

Some fifteen or more years ago before
vile street in Raleigh, and wadng was
good between the capitol and the Var
borough House, fun loving legislator
moved that Raleigh be Incorporated as
seaport town, and another like minded
member moved to license a steamboat
company to run between the Marlborough
House and the capitol. These bills pro-
duced much mirth. The men who intro
duced them did not know that Raleigh
once had sanguine hopes of water trans
portation. In recent article on Ottway
Burns in the University Magazine, DR..
Kemp P Battle tells of those irridescent
dreams:
THE spirit Of canal building spread
with the intensity and rapidity of pra-
RE fire. In North Carolina there were
wild dreams of navigating our streams
nearly to their sources. Raleigh was
TO receive the vessels of Pamlico Sound
up Neuse river, up Walnut creek, up
Rocky branch to the crossing of the Fay
etteville road. Boats were to ascend
Cape Fear and Deep rivers to the Ran
dolph hills. The produce of the Yadkin
valley from the foot of Blowing Rock
was to cross over to Deep river and be
exported from Wilmington. The putting of
steamboats, was to be heard on the head
waters of the Catawba and the Broad. In
vain Carney Cotton, Commoner from
Chatham, told the House that after dry
weather a terrapin could carry a sack
of flour on his back from the hills of Gull
ford to the landing at Fayetteville, right
through the middle beds of the rivers,
while not a drop of water would dampen
the flour. Such prudential counsels were
unheeded. When the salary of the Gov
ernor was only 81 500 our staid ancestors
imported from Scotland a civil engineer,
Fulton, at a salary of $4,000 in gold to
begin the good work, and the Western
members clamored for appropriations in
money or bonds by the State to save the
tribulations of four horse wagons rum
bling over jagged rocks or splashing
through mucilaginous mud. They had
gold tinted visions of Asheville, Morgan
ton, Raleigh, Wilkesboro, Asheboro
Louisburg, Rutherfordton. glistening
with the white wings of commerce.
"A few years afterwards, when the ca
nal fever had been cured in part at least,
it was replaced by the railroad fever. At
last distance was to be partially annihi-
lated and the different sections made
near neighbors The Western counties
became clamorous for the State to open
her treasury and provide these swift
and easy highways. The Eastern coun-
baH through
their borders, or of convenient access,
sat heavily on the Treasury box and an
swered every appeal with emphatic noes. :

PURGINa CHURCH ROLLS.

Bishop, ] have had the best year in
dition. We have dropped or turned out
AZ members"
Such was the report of a prominent
Methodist preacher made in Conference
some years ago. Other preachers were
counting their success in the number of
members they had taken into the church,
this preacher found his in the number
he had turned out. That Methodist
preacher was in full accord with the fol-
lowing written by Rev. P. R. Law and
published in recent issue of the Lum-
berton RobeSonian:
The third Sunday in October was
memorable day in one church in the
State It's pastor read from the pulpit
the names OF seventy of his members
who had been shut out. 1t took several
months to investigate the several cases
The task was all in all great enc.
The work was done justly and courage
ously. Many. if not most of the parties,
were unwilling to complain at the find
ings. Some were, upon careful inquiry,
found to be in the church without
change of heart and their names were
transferred to the unregenerated roll.
Some were suspended definitely and some
indefinitely. The offences were nom
church going, profanity and various
others. This is a notable case of the
administration of discipline and church
purging. 1t is an example it would be
well for every church in the State to
follow. There are too many workings
or too few Christians in the churches.
This is one of the great reasons for the
widespread GOODNESS and lack of growth
that good men lament everywhere. One
of the reasons so many men OF the
world are in the church is found, per-
haps, in the rush of protracted meetings
and general lack of Bible study that has
abounded throughout the country

they have not neglected generous con-
trbutions to the foreign field, and past
experiences shows that money spent on
the home mission field pays large divi-
dends to the foreign field as well, for
