Place Names In Russia.

The Russian has not applied bis
names without reason. In 1858, when
he founded the capital of the Amoor
province, he named it Biagovesch-
chensk This means good news"-to
all save the proofreaders in the news
paper offices. Three years later he
founded the capital of Primorskaya
and gave 1t name that plainly showed
what 1t was intended to be-Vladivo-
stok, ruler Of the east" Near the end
Of his great transcontinental railway
he made brand new city and called
It Dalny, 'farthest," a very appropri-
ate name for a place $500 miles from
the starting point Of the road. A pet
ty clan of the Suchan family, spring
ing from the narrow, beautiful, but
savage glens southwest of Changbal-
shan, founded the Manchu dynasty,
which for more than 200 years ruled
China. They took the dynastic name
of MANU-. or Manchu, In their own
language meaning "clear." To this the
Europeans have added termination,
and we have Manchuria, the country
of the Manchus. "-London Answers.

Solitary conhnement.

The punishment which replaced the
death penalty in Italy4pamely, life i'm
prisonment with solitary confinement
is considered to be much worse than
death itself. Murderers sentenced to
life imprisonment invoke death to end
their sufferings. Isolation, complete
In the very sense Of the word-en-
forced idleness, lack of exercise and
sufficient food and continual surveil'
lance In a cell so small as to almost
render any movement impossible-such
is the fate of a murderer in Italy. Sol
itary confinement lasts for FIVE long
years, sometimes for ten. but convicts
can hardly bear it for more than six
months Invariably they are insane
long before the term expires, and Of
ten they commit suicide. The fear of
solitary confinement acts as proven
tive to murder as much as and perhaps
much more than that Of capital pun
ishment. 1t is quite true that the
cases of murder have not diminished
to any great extent In Italy since the
abolition Of the death penalty; but, on
the other hand. they have not In
creased. News.

A curious illustration Of the princi'
pie of responsibility abroad Is afford
ed by civil damage suit growing out
of the breaking of plate glass win
dow In a German town. A witness had
testified as follows:
"As was passing down the street
in front of the window ] saw big
stone come whirling through the air
| did not know whence 1t came.
saw 1t coming through the air, and
had just time enough to dodge to save
myself from being hit by 1t"
The witness was sharply questioned
upon the point whether the stone that
broke the window would have struck
him had he not lodged 1t. He was
then dismissed Eventually the deci'
sion of the magistrate was this:
"Inasmuch as II the witness had moi
unfortunately ducbed his head the
glass would not have been struck by
the stone. he is hereby adjudged re-
sponsible for the breaking of the win
dow and is ordered to pay to the own

The best case which | have seen Of
law versus justice and common sense
is one which Montaigne relates as hav-
ing happened in his own day. Some
men were condemned to death for mur-
der, The judges were then informed
by the officers of an inferior court that
certain persons in their custody had
confessed themselves guilty of the
murder in question and had told so
circumstantial tale that the fact was
placed beyond all doubt Nevertheless
1t was deemed so bad precedent to
revoke sentence and show that the
law could err that the innocent men
were delivered over to execution

Horse Sense.

When a collar hurts, the average
horse winces upon being asked to
throw his weight into the collar. Lat
err he becomes what we foolishly call
balky perhaps, and finally he fights
like an army mule when some one
tries to put a collar on him. That's
knowing something!

horse which simply hates a certain
blacksmith who once upon a time nail
ed a bad fitting pair of shoes to his
feet and inflicted sore feet upon this
horse for all time 20 come.
There are men in this world - ours
cruel enough to fasten a horse with a
heavy rope in stall and then beat the
horse with a chain. But such men
have "bad luck" for forever afterward
IL the horse which has received this
sort of discipline hears a chain rattle
he will bolt in terror, whether hitched
to moving machine, a carriage with
children in 1t or a heavy wagon load
ed with produce. This is either horse
sense or horse revenge.-Farm and

Blind Dous and Rats,

CANNES born blind or Towsers that
become blind by accident are able to
smell and paw their way into the most
inaccessible and out of the way places.
1t is practically impossible to starve
them, lose them or trap them. Further
more, blind dogs learn stunts just as
quickly as those that see. Loss of
sight in no way interferes with their
ability to learn tricks, acquire habits
or find their bed.
Rats, as a matter of fact, If they use
their eyes at ALA doubtful matter
can see little or nothing of the world
The retina Of these creatures has no
point Of perfect vision such as is found
In the higher animals and man; hence
their noses, muscles, touch and hearing
give them information about the world
they live in.-New York Press,
