| Germany is going to have trouble in holding her trade with Russia. Austria Hungary is preparing to take every commercial advantage of the growing
 Russian impatience with German trade methods. An Austro- Russian Commer-
 cial Association has been formed in
 Vienna, and Herr Pol one of the staff of the Austro Hungarian Consulate in
 Warsaw, in an address delivered be- fore it the other evening explained the
 best method of obtaining access to the
 Russian markets. He said that condi
 tions had been greatly changed by re- cent political events, and that large Russian merchants were now very re- luctant to deal with the Germans. They were aware that Austria had a highly developed industry, but from lack of direct intercourse with the man- ufaoturers did not know how to profit by it. The Russians wished to favor Austrian industry, but desired that the Austrians should make the first over lures. Herr Pol said that Austrian ex- porters ought to send crowds of travel CTS to Russia. The consular authorities at Warsaw, Moscow, Kieff, and other centers could render them valuable as- sistance, but were powerless to do any thing alone. They should follow the example of the Germans and English by issuing a periodical in the Russian language directing attention to their wares. Prices should be given in rubles.

That is a curious complaint which comes from the South The talk is that farmers and planters are having great difficulty in securing labor. Industrial development is in progress everywhere. railroad building, levee work and all that create a great demand for labor, beside which the evolution of the farm hand into the skilled operative has for some time been going on at rate which is making itself felt. Labor is drawn into the newer channels, where it Is better paid. In consequence the South was never so badly handicapped for farm labor as now, and where in creased acreage of corn and cotton was promised it will be struggle to keep up with last year.
 If this is true it is sad state of af- fairs. If the farmers of the south can't get help enough to do their planting, and If the farmers of the West can't get help enough to do their harvesting the crops wont be what they ought to be. Does this great and rapidly ex- banding country really need more inn migrants to do the rougher work?

There are few, even in these degen- crate days. The York (Maine) Courant thus describes the daily life of young man of that vicinity: He lives at home on the farm. He is up before o'clock in the morning doing chores At 6:30 lie starts out and walks to York Corner, a distance of four miles, where he takes a car to York Beach. He then walks another mile to Cape Neddick, where he teaches school all day. He returns in the same way, and after he gets home finds plenty of work to do until late in the evening.

A Philadelphia judge was trying a. case, when an old man who, it was plain, had never been in a court room before was called to the witness stand to testify. He came forward and went straight up the steps leading to the bench, instead of turning off and going into the witness box. One of the court officials promptly brought the man down and showed him the proper place The judge smiled at the mans mistake and asked: Did you want to come up on the bench and be a judge, sir?" 1T don't know, your honor," answered the man; I'm getting old now, and I guess that's all I'm fit for"
