Football in Russia.

Football is taking an extraordinary
hold of the Russian youth. A series
of matches played recently in large
Russian city attracted over 10000
snectators at each game. 1t is the
English game according to association
rules that is played and the terminol-
ooy is adopted without translation. 1t
sounds curious to hear a Russian
crowd shouting "offside,' corner" or
Gree kick" as they watch the play.
Rut most wonderful of all is the vo-
cabulary of the reporters who descibe
the matches. Apparently they are
really musical critics of some preten-
sion. for their published reports
abound in mention of the Crescendo
passages and bravura thrills accom-
plished by the football players.

q VERY INTEREST
~ ing document giving


statistics o f express
companies has been issued by
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The close relations
existing between the express
and railroad interests is shown
in the fact that the express
companies hold S3,o62 ,658.33
of the stock of express COM
panies; that they hold $40, :
47I,o42.36 of the stock of rail
way companies, and that th'
railway companies hold SI4-
I24, 900, 90 of the stock of the
express companies. In the
report it is shown that the
combined general balance
sheet statement shows that
the total assets of the I3 COM
panies were SI86, 1880. 81.
The most significant fact
shown by this statement is
that the record value of the
property used in operation by
the express companies is but
II per cent of the total assets
The total investment as shown
by the value of real property
and equipment is but twenty
FIVE per cent of the capital
liability as represented by the
capital stock and funded debt
reported. 1t is evident from
the report that the amount of
capital stock of these compa-
nies bears no relation to the
amonnt invested in the con-
duct of the express business.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Vs. COMMON
 SENSE.

Listening to the teachings of the Christian Science cult, without proper medical attention and destitute of friends other than those who were of her same belief a woman passed away last Friday afternoon with none others at her bedside than those who had persuaded her that she would be cured by Christian Science Her ,dv in places was decomposcd, rayap by the deathly tumor or cancer. and had been in that condition for some time prior to her death, but the sicloly woman it is said, would not yield to any other treatment than that of science" Her son. who survives her. is also a strong Christian Scientist. and her most intimate friends were like wise scientists. II is said that during her Illness. none other than scientists were allowed to go near the suffering woman-such were the instructions of those who were accepting money from her for their service as healers
 There is no question but what Chris tian Science has wrought some strange and wonderful cures. It is not doubted but what the lessons of science might be beautiful But when man accepts money for extending his Christian Science services to person to whom he positively asserted that he could and would absolutely cure. and then that person passes away and rots to death under his treatment. there must surely be something radically wrong with such man. and it is high time that line be drawn between Chris tian Science and common sense. IT the scientists themselves refuse to draw this line, let the federal government do it.

PACKAGE FOOD.

Few things have done so much for the health and comfort of the family and economy in its care as the putting up of food in packages. From sani- tary point of view it is one of the great achievements of the age, says Leslie's Weekly.
 Under the old method of selling goods in bulk. the food thus sold was exposed to all sorts of contamination and infection. and in large majority of cases to deterioration in quality Almost all cereal foods deteriorate quickly when exposed to the air, and their food value as we'll as their pala- liability is rapidly reduced
 Any one familiar with the ordinary grocery store knows how goods sold in bulk are exposed in barrels or boxes to dust. flies and the constant handling by hands that are at least not over clean. If food thus sold could be bought at half the price of even the same quality Of article carefully pack cd in airtight packages, it would still be more expensive than the package goods
 No method yet devised brings as much protection to the buyer of foods as the package system. which fixes the value of the package by a money rate rather than by weight Food packages sold at five, ten or twenty five cents are measured by the buyer as to their worth in price and the practical housekeeper knows whether a five cent package Is worth it's cost. and she also knows whether the size of the package has been changed. and if it has, whether it is still worth the price she has to pay for it.

point in the United States across the ocean and then hundreds of miles in land. you need pay only twelve cents a pound, and may send a package weighing as much as eleven pounds. This eleven pound package to a foreign country will cost you one dollar End thirty two cents. If you send that eleven pound package from a point in in this country to another point in this country, you will pay one dollar seventy six cents, and you will have to break it up into three packages. no one of them weighing more than four pounds.
 Almost every foreign country has a parcels post, and it is known in Wash ington that the influence which has prevented the enactment of such law in this country has been exercised by the express companies. They have piled up enormous profits so that, be- sides paying annual dividends on heav- fly watered stock. they have. in addi- ton, declared stock and cash divi- dends, in some cases from one hundred to three hundred per cent at a time John F.

THE LOOKER-ON

According to the plain construction of the lottery law, applicable to the territory of Alaska, newspaper men should look a little out when publish ing accounts of drawings, and accept ing advertising matter that in any manner. shape or form helps along a game of chance. no matter if 1t is to help out some poor widow raffle her dog to help keep the wolf away from the door.
 There seems to be no law against publishing such articles, nor against purchasing tickets for rallies. but the minute newspaper is placed in the United States mail-then comes the rub-for Uncle sam wants one thou sand dollars fro mthe paper for the first offense, and he would demand enough for a second 10 put any Alas kan newspaper out of business. that publishes anything 10 do with games of chance. then tries to get him to carry the same through the mails.
 So in the future all those who have nice articles to raffle from a house to pet dog, don't tempt us. for even if We need the money and are always hungry for advertising matter. stiu we cannot afford to take such long chances now that We know the law.

ways come unsolicited; he had never
asked for any appointment under the
government, Lincoln's selection of
him as assistant secretary of the
navy coming as complete surprise
to him.
But shortly after he had refused
to become a rear-admiral, he did
break, in a way, his well-known rule
of asking anything for himself. But
he did this not for his own advance.
ment, but to prove practicable a
theory he had long held. And here
comes in bit of unwritten history.
After the failure of the attempt to
assassinate Car Alexander H., in
1866, congress by resolution expressed
its sense of gratitude that the life of
the European sovereign who had been
so friendly to the Union in our own
time OF great emergency should have
been spared. President Johnson at
once decided that this congratulatory
resolution should be delivered to the
czar by a special representative of
the government, and he designated
Mr.. Fox for the mission.
AT that time there was serious
question of the seaworthiness of the
type Of war vessel known as the mon
1tor. The marine engineers were prac-
tically unanimous in declaring that
the monitor was unfit for any service

except that which was near shore.
But Mr.. Fox had long been confident
that the monitor was perfectly sea
worthy, and he had stated at various
times that he would be willing, should
opportunity offer, to risk his own life
and stake his reputation as naval
authority upon an experiment which
would decide once for all the question
of the seaworthiness of the monitor.
When he was asked to carry the con-
gratulatory message to the czar he at
once saw an opportunity OF putting
the monitor to the test he had long
had In mind, and he stated that he
would be glad to undertake the mis-
sion provided the monitor Miantono-
nah was commissioned to take him
across the Atlantic as the Official rep
resentative Of the United States.
His request was granted. He
boarded the monitor with perfect con-
fidence. She steamed easily across
the ocean, demonstrating beyond the
shadow of a doubt that this type OF
vessel could cope with any emergency
Of wind or weather which any other
type of vessel could meet. And when
this had been demonstrated Mr.. Fox
was never happier. He was, l be
lieve, prouder of his victory over the
marine engineers than of the i'm
portant part he played in opening the
Mississippi. one of the greatest feate

Took His Train THROUGH.

During strike In the coal regions
a Hooking Valley coal train was stop.
ped by the strikers about a quarter of
a mile from a wooden bridge. The
leader OF the strikers told the engi.
neer that he must not pull that train
through, and the engineer declared
that he would. Come down. JIM"
cried one Of the strikers. I'VE know
you too well to harm you. We have
a key Of powder on that bridge, and
when the boys see you coming, they
are going to light the fuse" "All
right" replied the engineer, grimly.
i've promised to pull this train
through, and through she goes" With
these words he opened the throttle
and the train dashed on. The strikers
saw the train coming and lit the fuse,
On ami over the bridge the train
went; as the last car cleared the
structure bang! went the powder, and
the bridge was blown to splinters. The
fuse was quarter-inch too long.
