Rifle Practice for Marines

The Navy will shortly issue orders
providing for an increase in pay for
expert marksmen in the Marine
Corps, placing them on a footing with
the expert marksmen of the army. AS
the Marine Corps has no ranges al
its northern posts, General Elliott
proposes to arrange with the BAY
State, New York State and New
Jersey State Rife Associations to al
low the marines to shoot on the
range near Boston, at Crecdmorc,
New York, and at Sea Grit New
Jersey The marines at Portsmouth
Boston and Newport will use the
Boston range. those at New York
will go to Creedmoor, and those at
League Island to Sea Girt. The ma
rines at Washington and Annapolis
will probably use the range al

The old Irish Parliament House,

the architectural glories of Dublin.
In its exterior aspect it remains the

of the lords and commons Of Ireland.

it passed after the act of union The

Farm WAGES in Russia

According to the official investiga
ton. embracing the decade of 1SS2-91.
the average annual wages for a male
agricultural worker in Russia was
less than $50 and for a female worker
less than SIS. To this must be added
the cost of subsistence, which is
equally low, being on an average of
$24 for a male and $22 for female
worker for a whole year, so that the
average cost OF employing a laborer
for the entire year is equal to only
$50 for the male and $40 for the fe-
male. The wages for the summer
season of five months is almost equal
to the annual wages, being S22 for the
male and $l3 for the female laborer

All SUGAR NAV BE YeIlov.

Now it appears that one effect of

our best Of sweet stun will have a
decidedly yellow tinge. According
to the sugar men, they have to use

the proportion Of four pounds to the

Pavinn.

a bulletin of the Department OF
Agriculture on the subject of wood
paving states that in spite of it's
comparatively high price, its ex-
cellence causes many engineers to
regard it as the best general-purpose
one now in use. The cities using the
largest amount of wood pavement are
indianapolis, Toledo and Boston.
These five cities together have more
creosoted wood pavement than all
other cities in the country combined.
The total amount of this pavement in
use at the end of the year 1905 was
about 100000 square yards. The
wood now principally in use is
