provided With gun and cartridges and
turned out to fight by the side Of stunt
ed men, white, copper colored and
black. Tiny boys are deemed excellent
soldiers, and they soon adapt them
selves to the life and fight well.
The commissary department is prim-
tive and is managed by women, who
provide food as best they can. The
isthmian viyandiere is by no means
charming, being usually small and al
ways dark and sinewy. In camp she
boils greasy and unsavory messes; on
the march she carries great bags Of
cooking utensils and food, being expect
ed to collect ediblos on the way: in bat
tie she fights with the men.
Another feature of the commissary is
the wa ter carrier contingent of boys
and girls, who ride droves Of diminu-
tive donkeys across whose backs are
slung two huge kegs of water The
weight carried by these little beasts is
prodigious. Altogether the isthmian
army on the march or in camp looks
like a joke, but it can fight when occa-
sion demands.

Vladivostok on new docks. wharfs
and barracks for thousands Of men. In
all Of this development AleXeief has
been the guiding spirit, and it is to him
that Russia, looks for carrying on its
policy in eastern Asia.
He has already established a reputa-
ton as q warrior and is not lacking in
diplomacy. Indeed. it is said Of Alex
eieff that he would have made Il 0iplo-
mat Of ;t4,, it,u4il and ready sort il the
sea had not claimed him and that he is
able to fight and talk equally we'll. His
chief weakness is a passion for Rus
sian bridge whist, but he is poor
loser, and a defeat at his favorite
game throws him into violent rage.
AleXeietf has a vast army in the far
east, chiefly garrisoned at Vladivo-
stok, Port Arthur, Dalny and along
the line of the Chinese Eastern rail-
way, besides great fleet of war ships.
Manchuria, the scene of much inter-
Of &c., $40 square miles, about twice
the size of all the New England and
middle states together and nearly one
fifth the area Of the whole empire of
China. 1t is known as the strategical
key of eastern Asia. Within easy
marching distance of the principal Chi
nese cities, it commands the entrance
to Korea and to northern China by
land, and while the ports of Siberia are
frozen for eight months, those Of Nah
churia are closed but four.
The present population is 100000
persons, composed principally of Chi
nese, the pure blooded Mantchoo hav-
ing gradually disappeared. The north
ern portion, little known until recently,
has been thoroughly explored by the
Russians and is now traversed by the
Transmanchurian railway. The great
rivers Of the country, the Yalu and
Eungari, are navigable for hundreds of
miles, and along them during the open
season fleets Of Chinese and Japanese
junks ply between cities of the two
countries. In spite Of its great popula-
ton Manchuria possesses few large
cities, much of the country retaining its
primeval wildness.
The chief Russian settlements so far
are along the line of the Chinese East
ern railway. One of the strangest
things in NIanchuria is the city of Dali
ny. This is the town which the car
built almost in night and is the COM
mercial terminus of the Chinese branch
of the Transsiberian railroad. The car
gave orders to build it about three
years ago. and an army of 10000 men
was set to work. Since then the harbor
has been deepened, piers built, ware
houses erected and docks completed.
The whole town was built before il
was occupied. and when all was COM
pleted the houses were sold at auction
or privately. according to the orders of
the government. Dalny has now pop
ulation of about $4,000.

San Francisco has a dog that stops
runaways. Casual passersby observe
nothing remarkable about him. They
see only a huge white shaggy dog with
long, soft. floppy black ears, but in the
neighborhood, where he is known as
Doc. he is considered bowwow Of un-
usual distinction.
His home is in livery stable on Gea-.
ry street. and for the six years that he
has lived he has made a special study
Of horses.

sidewalk. Something in the pile Of that
lumber seemed to the horse as he turn

pulled the frightened animal in. but
the jerk on the reins caused the horse
to turn halfway round, and a wheel
Of the wagon caught on the corner of
a mortar box.
Doc sat up and watched the strug-
