warm winter clothes, taking wagons for
the weak and the children, which, as
they had no beasts of burden, they had
to drag themselves; but they soon
wearied of the heavy carts and left
them by the wayside, carrying their sick
on filters of poplar branches with blank
cts tied between Then a wave of en-
thusiasm and fear swept over them and
they cast away their warm clothes, many
going barefooted and bareheaded, chant
ing, praying and crying out as they went.
Night came on them while they were out
In the wilderness, and they lay down on
the bare ground to sleep, close to rail-
road track or pass the night in prayer
and exhortation, all meanwhile keeping
a solemn fast. They marched EDWARDS
under increasing harships till they
reached Salt Coats, where many of the
women and children broke down, ana
had to be lodged in outhouses and barns,
several hundred under single roof. All
were in misery. and many were evident
ly crazed. They had no defined idea or
goal, and, If allowed, would certainly
march on through the wilds, until all
were frozen or dead of starvation.
These fanatics will probably be detained
on a charge of vagrancy until their
understand why 1t is that Russia sternly
discourages these phases of religious lib
erty, which lead the fanatical Slavs to
standardization and sometimes even to
wholesale suicide.

THE DoUKHoBoRs.

From Harper's Weekly.
what proportion of the Douhobors In
Manitoba have left their homes has not
been clearly ascertained. Apparently
about a thousand are on the march.
There are Mt least eight thousand of
them altogether so that 1t may be that
a large majority have retained their san
ity and remained at home. But those
who have turned wanderers in the face
of a Manitoba winter, presents a prob
lem of the most curious difficulty. Moth
ing that is said to them seems to have
any effect. There are probably not lun-
attic asylums enough in Manitoba to hold
them, and If there were they would not
be fit places of refuge for them Many
of them will doubtless die, and after
awhile the rest will probably conclude
that they have mistaken their mission
Nothing quite like these Doulxhobors was
ever seen before on this continent. We
had Coxey and his army. but that was
a summer excursion, and a good deal of
a joke. This Doukhobor movement has
nothing jocular about it. 1t is not quite
unprecedented, but is very much out of
date Such things happeped in Europe
in the middle ages, sometimes on great
scale. The Crusaders might have had a
fellow-feeling for the Doulxhobors, but
they seem amazing wights to us.
The Canadian Doukhobors have unin-
tentionally shed a new and remarkable
light on the question of the dissenting
sects in Russia, making it clear that the
Russian Orthodox church may not be

and unreasonable in its attitude towards
them as its critics would have us be-

Our system of public instruction does
not always show its impress upon those
who become public men. The late Ven

country. who made note Of them.
In December, 1892, a western member
of the United States congress arose in
his place and seriously asked, Where Is
Venezuela anyhow? This was pend
ing a proposition to consolidate the mis-
sions to Venezuela and Guatemala the
impression being that the two republics
were adjacent countries.
Another member, equally veil up in
geography and equally enthusiastic in
his advocacy of economy, wanted to
consolidate the missions to Venezuela,
Ecudor and Peru.

in Virginia wrote to ask whether It
would be advisable to ship samples via
the isthmus of Panama.

An Advertising Moral.

Once upon a time donkey fell into d deep hole, and after nearly starving caught sight of q passing fox, and implored the stranger to help him out.
 I am too small to aid you' said the fox, "but l'll give you some advice. Only few rods away is Il big, strong elephant. Call him and he will get you out in Il J fly"
 After the fox had gone the donkey thus reasoned :"I am very weak from want of nourishment. Every move l make is so much additional loss of strength. If l laise my voice to call the elephant l shall be weaker yet. No, I will not waste my substance that way. It IS the duty of the elephant tn come without calling"
 So the donkey settled himself back and eventual gave up the ghost.
 Long afterwards the fox, on passing the hole, saw within skeleton and remarked

A Disastrous Year.

The prophets who said 1902 would be a disasterous year were right. Nature has net been so buisy with her forces of destrac' ton III many years past as she has during the five months of the present year. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes have destroyed 48, 8,450 lives, storms 704, tarna- does 416, cyclones 220, floods 333, avalanches 228, tidal waves l03, snowslides 39, water spouts l2, q total of 0,505 lives destroyed by nature's elemental disturbances. If 10 this total were added the lives lost by agencies over winch man has more or less control, such as fires, mine disasters, ex= pIosions, railroad accidents and vessel wreeks, it would be ln- creased to more than 60,000, and this takes no account of indiyid- ual lives lost in this country, which would bring the grand to- tai up to lC0, GOO lives lost in the short period of five months.

Curious Method of Suicide.

Discussing curious methods of su- icide, writer in the London Lancet refers to the case of an American who determined to gillotine himself. Reconstructed an apparatus by which a heavy ax-blade was held in place by a can of water. In the bottom of the can was hole which allowed the water to run slowly out, and when a certain amount had escaped the ak blade was liberated. The operator laid his head on some support, so that the ax would strike him on the neck, and placed dish of ether in such position that he would inhale it, and so become unconscious before he was decapitat- ed. The ax fell as he had intended.

Original Meaning of Pagan.

The Latin word for which pagan is derived originally meant fountain or spring; then the village which sprang up around it, and finally the residents in the village. As Chris tianity took strong root at first in the large centers of population and the worship of the pagan deities fingered longest in the country and among the country villages, it come to be under stood that pagan or villager, was, in virtue of his residence, worshiper of the old gods, and thus the term ac- qulred it's present significance.

Our Timhered Lands.

Statistics have been gathered showing the erection of sixty new saw mills along the Cotton Belt railroad ill this state since 1900. This is remarkable showing and while we have the timber resour- ces it will likely continue. There are some Of the finest pine for ests i'll Arkansas that can be found anywhere in the South, but most of them have been discovered by the luMpernlen of other states and, in many instances, bought up by them. The fact that sixty new mills have been built along one rall oad in tho state is evidence that we are furnishing lumber for other sections of the country.
 Some or these days we arc go- ing to realize that our forest res- ervatlons are growing smaller and that these timber lands have been disposed of for less than their value. ln many of the older states it is now practically imp0s sible to obtain timber for tha mills. The result is that these states are being abandoned by the lumbermen and they are seeking other and more profitable fields. Arkansas has offered extraordi- nary inducements to these lum- Der dealers, and the result is seen in the sixty new SAW mills erected on the Cotton Belt since 1900.
 There Is no advice t0 give in this instance except to warn the public against the nndervaluation of the timher lands of the state. In less than ten years the pine and oak forests of Arkansas will he more valuable than some of our best farming lands today. At the present rate of consump- tion the iuinbermen will gladly pay premium for timber lands Tn few years. Keep your eye on the timber lands.

QUEER NEWSPAPER MAN.
His Home Address a Mystery Fooled His
 Fellow Reporters.

One of the queerest newspaper men ever knew" !" said veteran news gatherer, of the Milwaukee Sentinel, to bunch of cronies at lunch coun- ter the other night, twas Scotchman named-well, ,we'llleave out the name, for he is still alive and well. We'll identify him as John. He was a graduate of Edinburgh university and had worked on Edinburgh, GIae- gov and London papers before he finally fioated across the big pond. Eventually he drifted to Buffalo, where he alternately worked on the two principal morning dailies.
 'John was a good newspaper man, but although he was jolly good fellow no one really could understand him. His past was mystery which no one had ever been able to penetrate. The strangest thing about John was that he had no home address.
 '.No one knew where he lived. When the directory canyasser came around in the spring ohm lodged him as religiously as he would creditor. Consequently all that appeared in the directory for years was: John K, reporter, ". 250 Main street.
 "This was exasperating to the news paper crowd. The men burned with a great desire to uncover Johns place Of residence. Early one morning as he sauntered jauntily up the street two of his fellow workers decided to follow him. He led them a long chase. Out in the suburbs John dis covered that he was being shadowed, so he lodged into hallway and when his followers came to the spot he stepped out and bade them good morning.
 Ah, on your way home, per ceiye. You live long ways out, said John. sareastically.
 @ Well-yes-er-we do,' lamely replied one of the fellows.
 Going my way? I live just a leetle ways down the street. said John.
 :, Why, yes, We are, was the re- sponSe.
 "So they all trudged along. The district was fine one, with handsome houses and a little too high toned for T person in Johns circumstances. Ar irving in front of large brick resi- dence, John turned 10 the two men and cooIly said:
 Gentlemen, 1 bid you goodnight. This is where l live
 ''Then he stepped briskly around to the rear of the house, while his companions stood dumbfounded and unable to move When they regained their wits they sneaked around the house just in time to see John vault the fence and make his way to the next street. They hurried around the block, but John had disappeared for the night !"

A curious feature to travellers in the high roads of Norway is the great number of gates-upwards of 10000 in the whole country-which have to be opened. These gates, which either mark the boundaries of the farms CT separate the home fields from the waste lands, constitute a consider- able inconvenience and delay to the traveller, who has to stop his vehicle and get down to open them. .
