THE TERRIBLE COssACK.
Kindly Fellow Who Turns Tiger
When the Battle Call Is Sounded.

1.-The Scythians of every age have
been celebrated as bold and skillful
riders, and constant practice has seat
ed them so firmly on horseback that
form the ordinary duties of civil life,
to eat. drink and even sleep without
dismounting from their steeds, from
their excellence in the dexterouS man
agement of the horse"
Thus Gibbon wrote of the ancestors
of the CosSacks in the cars army to-
day. These Cossacks have preserved
the Scythian characteristics, and every
one of them might easily gain a place
as trick rider in a circus If he cared to
do so. One of their commonest tricks
is to pick up a glove from the ground
at a full gallop-
The Cossacks originally settled on the
Don, and later on the Volga. but now
there are several bodies of them scat
tered throughout the Russian empire In
Asia. A large colony has Neen planted
in the Ussuri provinSe, which borders
on Korea and has Viadivostok for its
ments of them in Manchuria, created
by the Russian military authorities
with the idea of guarding the East Chi
nese railway.
In former times the Ataman, or mill
itary chief of the CosSackS was prac-
ticaIly an independent monarch allied
to the car of Russia; but his power
was gradually curtailed until now the
car is himself Ataman and crowns
himself by that title, among fiftynine
others, when he assumes the throne.
Subordinate atamans hold command
over the five principal divisions of the
Cossacis, as follows: Don Cos@1cks,
Prince Sviatopolsk Mirski H.; Terek
Cossacks, Lieut.. Gen. Kachanov; As
trakhan Cossacks. Gen. Won Hasen-
kampf: Oural Cossacks, Major Gen.
Maximovitch; Kuban CoSsacks, Lieut..
Gen. Malama-
By all odds the most popular Cossack
officer is General Chicagov, who COM
manded a division in Manchuria during

Separating the few failures for 500, 900
or more from the great bulk of ordinary
disasters, during February, it appears,
says r. G. Dun & Co.. that the average
liability Of each small failure was ST.
15S in manufacturing, against $11, 2S7 in
February, 1903 and s13,6O1 two years
ago There were few large trading fail
ures, and eliminating those there still
remains an average of sc, POI for that
class, or more than in the corresponding
month Of any recent year. But making
mis- subtraction for all failures in Feb
ruary. it is found that 20 suspensions
provided SS,197, S54, or over half the de-
faulted Indebtedness for the entire ,Oos
failures, so that the average for the re-
naming 9S3 suspensions was only
$T.746. which is scarcely more than the
average for the same month in each
year of the decade. despite the fact that
the aggregate was much larger than in
any preceding February. and the num-
Der Of failures fewer than in eight of
the previous ten years

upon the insurance companies, some of
