GREAT PROSPERITY
IN RURAL RUSSIA
Cars Farmers Will Have Large
Surplus of Grain to Dis
pose Of.

Political as we'll as agricultural in
terests are involved in the prosperity
of rural Russia, which had good all
round crops this August over an enor-
nous area. Although still rather
rudely cultivated, Russian fields are
better looked after than of yore. The
large regions rescued from the waste
ful communal system show an in
creased yield per acre already. The
Russian export SURPRISES of new
grain are not yet fully known, but
an estimate which does not seem to
US at all excessive, on the areas, plus
yield per acre grown, shows that the
subjects of the car will have to dis
pose of outside of Russia itself some
30,OOo.000 quarters of wheat (worth
about f45, 10000 10, 0o0, 900 quarters of
barley (say, 10000, 000), 1000, 900 quar-
tiers of oats (f4,000000 5000 900 quar-
ters of Indian corn $4,000, 000). and a
variety of smaller crops, including
hnseed, buckwheat. etc, which may
De worth f5,OO0,000 altogether This
comes to seventy million sterling. and
1t does not include the large EXPORT
able surplus of rye, which is seldom
estimated on British markets, as none
of 1t comes here.
Germany. however, is a. very large
buyer. and we are advised that the
Russian grower expects to get
tlO.OoO.OO0 for his total rye exports.
The applications for settlement as
small yeomen on individual holdings
under the Stolypin act of 1906 exceed
four millions. and 100000 are in
stalled. and nearly all of them doing
well. The country is calling aloud
for rural surveyors to divide up and
sort out the lands. There are, 1t is
said, jobs for 100 surveyors, where,
with every pressure of juniors into
the service and of military men who
have qualified, bare forty are avail
able.
The peasants bank act of 1882 has
completed thirty years of its benefi-
cent working, and at present over f40,-
100000 is on loan to very small yeo-
men whose holdings entitle them to
claim peasant advantages by reason
of their exiguity. Bad debts are
hardly known. The notables' bank
act of 1886 enables country gentlemen
farming larger areas to get state aid
on fayora BILE terms. but in their case
the matter is more OF a business
proposition and Is less fatherly than
in that of the great mass of the
Woodworking but largely childlike
rural peasantry of the Russian en-
pire.

THE GREAT CAESAR
AS AN EP|LEPT|C
Some GIimpses of the Famous
Roman conqueror That Are
Not Inspiring.

We would hardly recommend horse
back riding to an epileptic, but by
dint of perseverance" says the his
torian Oppius, Caesar became an
expert horseman, often debating to
two or three secretaries at once while
in the saddle, and rode without using
his hands," We have had some
what similar experience in our own
practise, where the patient, unlike
Caesar, gave up epilepsy while con-
tinuing as a horse trainer.
When Caesar came to unbridged
rivers during his campaigns he swan

Once, having a seizure in the water,
he cried out, you remember: Help

He exlored personally and afoot,
conquered cities, accompanied by way
of precaution by but one or two SER
wants, an admirable precaution for
epileptics when at all possible.
He needed to be careful IF he had
lived in the gluttonous days of Cali

INDUCED in their dietary excuses, he
never would have crossed the Rubi-

He paid the strictest attention to
his hair, although he had SO little of
it. Like the rest of the bald-headed

over blank wall, in the vain hope
of concealing his cranial nakedness-

whole bald world kin.-Dr. Matthew

Smith saw him reach the Mexican
lines and spur his horse on. He was
apparently unnoticed for time and
then the fire of hundreds was turned
upon him. Bending low in the sad
die, man and horse seemed to fly
over the ground. Hundreds of bullets
must have whizzed past him, but he
seemed to have a charmed life. On
and on he went and the fire against
him seemed to grow heavier. But now
the men of the garrison had seen the
white handkerchief, which had been
agreed upon as a signal, and a cheer
went up. The gates of the fort swung
open. The horse went faster. Smith
saw horse and rider reach the fort,
and the gates swung to behind them.
They had gone unscathed through the
entire Mexican army.

isfied that some of Conkling's ad-
dresses, and especially the speech he
delivered during his first term in the
lower House of Congress, in which
he described the appalling disaster at
Balls Fluff early in the war. have
no superior, at least among American
writers, for wonderful vividness and
power of picturesque description.
Now, Conkling was only a little
over thirty years of age when he de-
livered that speech. Therefore he
could not have been very long a
student of great masters of English
style. / think it was an Unborn gift
with Conkling. He had extraordi-
nary personal advantages for secur-
ing the highest successes as an ora
tor. He was a noble figure. His
voice was of splendid musical quail
ity and ! think he knew intuitively
how to use it. But there was some
thing in the man. that indescribable
thing which I have just told you de-
fed analysis which after all was the

must be man behind the orator. l
mean the orator who achieves the
greatest success. But there are vari-
Gus kinds of oratory. I have heard
that Rufus Choate, when communi-
eating at one time with his cousin,
Joseph H. Choate, advised him to
bear in mind the fact that there were
four great masters of the English
tongue. These four were Milton,
Bacon, Shakespeare and Burke, and
that not the least of these was
Burke.
Nov, a man can thoroughly as
simulate the majestic style which
characterized Burke's writings with
out ever becoming great orator.
Burke himself was not an orator in
the real meaning of the term. He did
not have, first of all, an attractive
personality. He seemed to have no
power of throwing all the higher and
nobler passions into his expression of
face, of tone and of gesture. 1t has
been said that when he spoke he
emptied the house of commons.
1T have been told that the singu-
larly pure style which distinguishes
the public addresses of Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts, was formed upon
very close and constant study by
the Senator all of his life of the writ
ings of Hooker, Taylor and Milton.
"Hoar. however, reads better than
he sounds He has not the physique
that is necessary for the greatest sue
cess in oratory. There is something
quaint, almost cherubic, in his coun-
tenance, as there was in Horace
Greeley, but as the writer of the
written words he is, in my opinion,
without superior and his addresses
are perfect gems of literature, but
they are not oratory."
I asked Colonel Ingersoll if he
knew from what sources Roscoe
Conkling drew his pre- eminent die
ton.

mel William Barrett Travis, it was
surrounded on February %, 1886. by
an army variously estimated at from
5000 to 5000 men, under General Santa
Anna.
With his force of $50 Texans, among
them Colonel Bowie, David Crockett,
frontiersman and ex-member of Con-
gress, and James Butler Bonham, a
friend from boyhood days of Colonei
Travis, the last-named made a gallant
fight against overwhelming odds.
Messengers had been dispatched to
summon help, and finally Travis sent
his friend out to bring assistance. At
his first destination his appeals were
of no avail, and he rode on to Con
zales There he found that Captain
Martin and thirty-two men had gone
to the assistance of the besieged men,
fighting their way into the fort. So
he returned.
Three days after Bonham's ride the
Mexican army made a general assault.
