numberless friends to mourn her loss.
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist church at Turner, in.
terment taking place in the Twin Oak
cemetery. The large funeral and
beautiful flowers that covered the
graves of those two sisters were silent
tokens in which they were held.

ST. Paul, April 9.-J. J. Hill said to,

remainder amounts to more than the
districts quota, choice is made by lot.
The Conscripts.
About per cent of the male popula-
ton of each district is thus taken each
year. This is not the holiday affair 1t
proves to be with our own national
guard, but is rather serious business
The men are conscripted, and a wood
en- lock is placed on the leg of each.
Amid the lamentations of relatives the
conscripts are loaded into wagons and
taken to the nearest recruiting station.
Arriving there, each man first passes
into the hands of the doctor, thence to
the military barber. If successful In
the medical ordeal, the top of the ap-
plicaht's head is shaved; II unsuccess-
full, the back. The rejected candidate
is truly unfortunate. He is thrust out
without any clothing, his apparel
dumped out after him, and he is al
lowed to dress in the cold. Then every
soldier is privileged to kick and cuff
him as a mark of contempt for his
physical disability. Even with these
indignlties, however, the rejected are
happy enough. for have they not es-
capped the hell of the most despotic
army discipline on earth?
The total population Of Russia is
about 130,0O0,00O, of whom 4,0OO0O0
are Jews, and its area is S,447,234
square miles, nearly three times as
great as that of the United States,
Alaska and all Uncle Sans insular
possessions. The holy synod of the
Greek church dominates all religious
affairs, and the people are very devout.

ministers, by a council of state by
'ruling senate" and by the holy synod /

The Horse and the Rai1road.

The great tableland, Mongolia, is about 5000 feet above the sea, 1,700 miles in length from east to west and 1000 miles in width. Part of this area is occupied by the great desert of Gobi, 1,200 miles long and about 500 miles wide. This central Asian pla- teau has given the world a great deal of history. The M6ngolian race, tough, hardy, brought up in a climate where there are extremes of heat and cold, raising their ftocks and herds, here to- day, there tomorrow, always restless, always warlike, always predatory they have made their mark upon the history of the world perhaps as no oth- CT people have over so long period.
 What enabled these Mongolian and central Asian tribes to make their wars and keep all humanity in tur- moil was the horse. Mongolia is his native home, and from time immemo- rial he has been the link by which the tribes have sustained rudimentary form of society. So long as he offered the fastest means of locomotion, so long as he enabled them to mobilize their forces and pour their hordes up- on the sedentary races, so long they dominated the position, but when mod .ern invention created better means of mobilization, when the railway came, when organized armies were formed when modern methods of defense be- came known and gunpowder began to make havoc, the day of the nomad was done

Too nrnch Cat.

"A bunch of lawyers were sleeping in a crowded court rcccss.--. ssss4 sn Illinois town because of the overcrowded con dition of the single hotel during ses- sion of court said lawyer, when one of them, a practical joker. pos sessing a remarkable faculty of imi- tating cat, concluded to have some fun out of it. After all of them had quieted down to sleep he started a plaintive moan like a cat Another fellow on the opposite side of the room had similar faculty of imitation and was awakened by the noise of the sup posed cat and remarked to his next fellow: Some alarmed cat has got into the room. Just wait I'll initiate a tabby and will catch the Tom So the two began neowing at each other. The first supposed it was real cat, and the room being extremely dark they kept approaching each other, each with a boot in hand to demolish the sup posed cat. They got together finally. and then there was an act not down on the programme Each had aimed his boot well, and when a light was finally struck the two men were mix ing it up badly in the center Of the room, and it took the rest Of the law yers and the town doctor to get them in presentable shape for court the fol- lowing day.

Nurse and Household.

What is the cause of the frictiony Simply this: That which to the employ CT is an abnormal and unexpected af- fiction is to the nurse but detail, a scene, in her daily life and work. H. ness or accident invades an orderly
 household, routine is broken through, every thing is at ''sixes and sevens." The devoted wife or mother, the loving daughter, the attached servant - and such are still in existence--all are will ing and eager to sacrifice sleep and rest, meals and comfort, in caring for the one whose life hangs in the bal1 ance The nurse, nine times out of ten, is no Tess willing, but her self sacrifice should not be accepted ought not i11- deed to be offered by her-simply be- cause her case is not that of the will ing and unofficial helpers. When the crisis is over and death or recovery has once more with them to the uneventfuI daily round and common task. A few days, a few hours perhaps, and she is in scene similarly heartrending a4-l appealing, where only the present needs, the immediate anxiety, are thought of and where self abnegating devotion will be equally welcome and equally expected. For tie members of each aff1icted family there come at last relief of suspense, rest and change. For the nurse there Is but the briefest if any interval for recuperati1n. .-- Chambers Journal.

l fighting against it. In luII they pushed on.
 And the tide?'' shouted the priest.
 "It is high at o'clock-a spring tide and the wind in the northwest-not standing room on the shore against the cliff for a man from here to Glainval." ,"
 At high tide the waves beat against the towering cliff all along this grim coast, and man standing on the turf may not recognize his son on the rocks below, while the human voice can only span the distance in calmest weather There are spaces of three and four miles between the gaps in the great and inaccessible bluffs-an evil lee shore to have under ones quarter, one of the waste places of the world which Nature has set apart for her own use. When Nature speaks, it is with no un- certain voice.
 "There is old Loisettev' shouted the cure. "He may have gone to bed so- ber."
 ''There is no reason to suppose tt!'" shouted the man in reply. "No, my father, if there is aught to be done, you and I must do it."
 What with the wind and the flannel ear flaps of the sou'wester it was hard to make oneself heard, and the two faces almost touched, the unbeliever who knew so little and the priest who knew not only books, but men. They made their way to the little quay, or, rather, the few yards of sea wall that protect the houses at the corner of the street. But here they could not stand and were forced to retire to the lee side of the Hotel de la Page, which stands at the corner, with two timorous win dows turned seaward and all the rest seeking the comfort of the street
 In a few words Belfort explained where the lights had been seen and where, according to his judgment, the steamer must have taken the rocks.
 .'If the good God has further use for any of them he will throw them on the shore a kflometer to the east of us, where the wire rope descends from the cliff to the shore for the seaweed," shid the priest.
 The other nodded.
 "What must be done must be done quickly. Let us go" said the little cure in his rather buStl1ng manner, at which the great, slow hmbed fishermen were wont to laugh.
 Where to?"
 "Along the shore"
 "With rising tide racing in before a northwesterly wind?' said Belfort grinly and shook his head.
 "Why not? You have your two legs, and there is some one up thereY'
 T shouldn't have thought it," an-. swered the man, glancing up at the storm driven clouds. However, where a priest can go one armed man can surely follows We need lanterns"
 "Yes; I will wait and watch here while you fetch them."
 The priest left alone, peered round the corner, shading his eyes with his

soft white hand, upon which the cold rain battered. To the east of him he knew that there were three miles of al- most impossible shore, of unbroken, unscalable cliff; to the west of him the same; on the one hand Fecarhp, five miles away by a cliff path that none would attempt by night, nine miles by road; on the other Etreat, still farther by road and cliff path; inland a few farms and many miles of forest. He and, Belfort had stumbled over the fallen telegraph wires as they strug- gled down the village street. No; if there was a wreck out there in the darkness, and men, clinging bafE drowned to the rigging, were looking toward the shore, they had better look elsewhere. The sea, like the wind, treated Yport as the mouth of fun nel, and a hundred cross currents were piling up such waves as no boat could pass, though the Yport women were skillful as any man, with oar or sail.
 Presently Belfort returned, carrying two lanterns.
 q have told her that we will not quit the sea wall" he said, with short laugh, and straightway they both clam bered over the wall and down the iron ladder to the beach. A meandering nar- row pathway is worn on the weed grown chalk from the village to the washing ground oil the beach, a mile to the eestward, where at low tide a spring of fresh water wells up amid the shingle and the rock. Along this pathway the two men made their way,
