And ever we dream, in the darkest

ton, Gilbert 81. Grosvenor, director
and editor of the National Geographic
society, has just Furnished the nearly
100000 members Of that organization
with striking pen picture Of Young
RUSSIA Land OF Unlimited Pos
sibilities.',
After giving an impression of the
diversity of the origin Of It's peoples,
who come from the orient and the oc-
cident, the frigid north and the tropic
south; OF its range Of climate, which
gives the Palm Beach touch to its
Crimea and the breath OF the north to
it's White sea region; OF its vast agri-
cultural wealth; of the widely varying
aspirations CT its peoples, which dfner
as greatly as those OF the Poles and
the Mongols, as those Of the Confu-
cinas and the Jews, as those Of the
Tartars and the Laps, and of the vast
ness of the geographic limits OF the
empire, Mr. Grosvenor says:
But with all its geographic great
ness Russia Is about as poor in natur-
al outlets to the world as the smallest
OF the countries of the earth. Holland
could be hidden in the vast reaches OF
the Russian plain, almost as needle
in a haystack, yet Amsterdam does
more international business than all
the ports OF Russia together. Not
one free outlet to the open sea does
European Russia possess except on the
icebound shores of the Arctic ocean.
The path from the Black sea to the
Mediterranean leads through the Bos-
phorus and the Dardanelles held by
allen hands.
Mr.. Grosvenor next shows how there
lives within the boundaries OF the
Russian empire enough people to
duplicate the population OF Germany,
Great Britain and France combined,
with enough left over to duplicate
half the population Of Austria-Hun-
gary. Furthermore, il Russia grows
from 1912 to 1000 as she grew from
1872 to 1912 her population then will
be upward of six hundred million.
He then continues: From such =
record of size, OF bigness in every.
thing, we should expect Russia to be
an old nation. like Great Britain, with
perhaps thousand years OF unhinder-
ed growth behind her. But, as mat
ter OF fact, Russia is a youth among
the nations compared with England,
a stripping whose full stature and
breadth is still subject of conjecture
and speculation.
Russia is young because she never
has had chance to grow until recent
years. Her geographical shape or
condition was such that for centuries
her people were constantly being en-
shaved or despoiled oy stronger neigh

BUYING AT HOME.

The counsel OF men of wisdom has
always been that it pays to do ones
buying from merchants that one
knows and in whose integrity the
purchaser has perfect trust. Benja-
min Franklin, one OF the wisest men
in the management Of his business
affairs, said: Never buy anything be-
cause it is cheap" This advice means,
of course, that prequisite OF every
purchase is positive need of the thing
bought.
Practically the only selling induce
ments offered by catalogue concerns
are price, not need; and cheapness,
not quality. The mail order buyer
who habitually pores over the mail
order catalogue inevitably acquires
the habit of considering price rather
than quality, and every purchase he
makes is speculation. He seldom
or never at the time needs the things
he buys. On the contrary. he buys
them in anticipation of needs that
may never arise; and he does so I'M
der the delusion that he will be I'M
able to buy them cheaply again. says
the Quincy Herald.
Advantage is taken OF this bargain
hunting. gambling instinct by includ-
ing with needed or staple items at
low prices other items that are not
so generally bought and that pay the
seller bigger profits. Thus the 30
cents the mail order buyer saves" on
a sugar purchaser, say. he loses many
times over on the coffee. tea and
other items included in the bargain"
offer.
The net results Of this kind OF buy
ing are extravaganza and loss The
buyer, in his eagerness to save few
cents on his sugar purchase, is blind
ed to the larger losses on other
items. In other words, he Strains
at the gnat" of price and swallows
the camel of quality.
