The Cossacks of Little Rus sia and the Don Cossacks are said to be the most interruptions robbers in the world. They excel in horsemanship and form a large part of the Russian imperial cavalry. Styled sometimes the spies of the czar, they keep the nihilists in greater check than any other power and number many more than a million men.

It is a curious fact that century and a half ago letter travelled much faster than ever it has done since. It was in 1753 that Lord March made a heavy wager that he would cause letter to be conveyed 100 miles within an hour. His lordship engaged a score of cricketers, all expert throwers and catchers, had the missive inclosed in a ball, and, arranging his men at inter- vals in a circle, got them to throw the ball as swiftly as possible from one to another.

Beauty.

Beauty is question for the bline- to decide" remarked Aristotle when pressed for a definition. Later on he wrote a treatise on the subject, but the manuscript is not eXtant, and even if it were would we ever be made to agree on the subject of beauty? Men like Hegel, Schelling, Fichte, Emerson, Burke and Gautier wrote philosophical volumes and es- says on this topic, none of them agree ing, however. All the poets, the artists and the musicians of the world have tried to tell what beauty is, and only on one single point has a general agree ment been made evident-the essence of beauty is the power to attract As to the secret of this power all the world again disaRrees.
