Russia's young hope, the students
in the universities, will as in the an
tebellum period, be treated as riot
ers every time they manifest a desire
for self government.
A lynx eyed censorship will with
renewed yigor stiae thought, smoth-

general darkness will, as in the time
of that particular plague, become
dense enough to he even felt.
The bludgeon will be the sole pro-
teetor of the seeptre, and the seaffold
will be the main support of the
throne, and bayonets will watch
over the altar, and freedom will be

Oh yes And if another great
thinker, a man of genius like Teher,

kept in solitary confinement, tota

mind is almost blank, until his no

blank despair.
And then when he is at last dead

IT seems farmers stores are liable
to work two ways. The farmers
around Rockwell City, over in Iowa,
started a cooperative store that
thrived so well that in the last six or
eight years it has done a business OF
100000 year. But the result
was to efectually drive the mer.
chants and many of the mechanical
pursuits out of the town and to kill
the town itself and leave the farmers
without home market for their
smaller products, and enormously to
depreciate the price of their lands.

THE war in the east furnishes lit
tie news this week. A cable from
Toxic, says reliable reports have
been received from Seoul, to the ef-
feet that a part of the Japanese fight
ing line had crossed the Yalu, and
established itself in strong positions
there, at several important points.
1t now appears that Russia will not
attempt to occupy Korea, unless
later developments invite the at
tempt. Her armies will defend Man
churia alone, and, if possible, hold
Port Arthur. That would give Rus
STA a secure basis for future develop
ment.

A NEW ruling of the pension office
declares that old age itself is disa-
bility under the law ofIune 81, 1890,
which allows a pension of from Sc to
$12 a month to every soldier of the
civil war who served at least three
months and was honorably discharg-
ed. Under this ruling every old sol
der over 62 years will be entitled to
this pension without showing any
special disability. This virtually
establishes the service pension which
the Grand Army has been endeavor-
ing to have passed by congress, but
to which there has been strong OPP
position.

TIE Hardness of Trees.

An expert nurseryman says the
hardness or non-hardiness of trees
depends largely upon where the seeds
from which the trees in question
sprang came from. Satisfactory re.
suits are seldom experienced by plant
ing a seed obtained from the Sunny
South, say. BY planting seeds grad
ually further north, however, trees
MAJ be at length hardened and &C.
climated until a seed from such a tree
may be reasonably expected to thrive
and mature it's fruits.
Trees, like people, acquire their hab'
its from the climate i'll which they live
The Northern tree knows in~stinctively
when the time has come to ripen its
fruits. The Southern tree follows the
same instinct, being in no hurry, as
there is little likelihood OF real cold
With transplantings further north it,
habit changes.
The great trouble with most people is
that they want to jump a tree from
South to North at n move. ThF
same idea is evident in the attempt II
