The Princess Islands.
tLondon Chronicle)

The Princess Islands in the Sea of
Marmora, now said to have been for
titled as the last defense of Constan-
tinople, have been a place of exile n
all ages. In Byzantine times the saw
age Empress Irene was shut up in
a nunnery upon Prinkipo. the chief
island. At the time of the youn!,
Turk revolution the worst officials Of
the YildiZ gang were interned here.
though they were politely termed
guests of the isle" And afterward
the Marmora Islands became the
dumping ground of the wretched dogs
of Constantinople, which the reform
crs did not dare directly to put to
death. though they had no scrupl IS
about leaving them to starve and per-
ish of hunger tempered by cannibal-
ism.

RUssIA's PATRIOTIC STAMPS

In order to meet the urgent needs of the families
of Russian soldiers killed in battle the Imperial
Russian Patriotic Society has co-operated with the
Cars government in the issuance of patriotic
postage stamps which are used on mail matter
the same ordinary stamps but sold to the
public at an advance over face value of one kopeck
each The revenue thus received above the re-
feed and educate the orphans and the families Of
soldiers who have fallen ON the battlefield while
protecting their homes and country"
The patriotic stamps will doubtless have
large sale in Russia and it is not at all unlikely
that many of the most liberal purchasers of them
will be found outside of that country. Although
Of these foreign contributors to the relief of
stricken Russians may buy the stamps for charity's
sake and preserve them for curiositys sake, many
of them will be matter fact phatelists who may
have not a thought of the good they do when they
purchase the stckers, but will merely be gathering
specimens for their stamp collections
Invitations have in fact been sent out from Petro-
grad for foreigners to avail themselves Of the op-
portunty to get the new stamps direct from head
quarters there and these invitations seem to be
aimed particularly at stamp collectors and dealers,
the latter especially invest large sums in all new
postage stamps
1t will be advantageous to the Russian govern
ment as well as to the Patriotic Society to have
philatelsts buy large quantities of the charity
stamps since these stamps, when they once get

CoUNTY's BONDS AS AN INVESTMENT

In these days of good deal Of financial stress in
some quarters the holders of the $421 900 Dauphin
County bonds need not remain awake at nights
worrying about the safety of their investments.
They can feel more than reasonably certain of get
ting their money back at the specified dates OF
maturity of the various bonds and, in the mean-
time, that the various interest payments will be
promptly and regularly met.
The report of County Controller Cough, just
issued, shows that the County has actual cash on
hand sufficient to pay off all the bonds to-day, if
necessary, save an insignificant item of $31 900,
Notwithstanding the fact that redemptons of the
bonds do not begin to fall due until the year 1881.
There should be even greater comfort for the bond
holders in the fact that they further protected
to the extent of $S4S 501 by absolutely unincum-
bered property owned by the County,-chiefly
buildings grounds and so forth which are constant
ly increasing in value.
The county has no debt other than that repre-
sened by the $421 900 bonds which obligation even
now is almost all offset by the actual cash in the
sinking fund plus the cash in the treasury at the
end Of the year just closed.
incidentally it can be remarked that Controller
Cough, in his first year the watchdog" of the
Countys strong-box, has through intelligent ad-
ministration of the County's finances, effected
number Of economics which have saved the County
commendaton of the taxpayers.

CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE RANKS

That the present war is one not of cold steel but
of hot lead is the conclusion that has been reached
by observers ON the field. Surgeons who have
treated soldiers of the different armies have test
fled that they have met with few if any saber
lance or bayonet wounds, but that they have at
tended principally to injuries caused by bullets
and fragments of bombs.
When that is said only the surgeons have spoken
and the testimony is not complete Were the ply
sicans and nurses to speak for publication, and
speak authoritatively they might tell some startling
things about the ravages of disease in the trenches
All the casualties of war are not caused by the
lead, much less of course the steel of the oppos-
ing forces. When human beings are crowded in
trenches which have become unhealthfu through
long occupation, they are attacked by disease
enemy common to both sides on the battlefield
In the very entertainments which protect sol
diers from opposing troops, ills may attack them
which they cannot resist with anything like COM
plete success. The best of defenses may be put up
against the enemy,-the French land forces may be
made invisible by an invention now being tried out
and the adoption of which by the military authori-
ties is said to be pending,-but the soldiers who
live in the open under conditions which cannot be
made strictly sanitary will always run chances of
being reached by deadly diseases if not by cold steel
by hot lead.

Drew the French Fire

The Germans advanced another ten
yards, and the young volunteer asked:
"Where is the road to Maricourt?'
The answer was another query:
"What regiment do you belong to?"
The sergeant major answered with a
shot. The French cried out, jumped
back into their trench and opened fire.
1t was taken up all along the trench
and the bullets hailed about the Ger
mans, who jumped backward a few
PAGES and threw themselves face down.
Three quarters of an hour they lay
thus without moving. Then the French,
who had meantime been strengthened,
left their trenches, climbed over the
barbed-wire entanglements in front
and came forward, searching for the
intruders.
"Let them come on whispered the
sergeant major. Suddenly he COM
manded squad fire. Volley after voley
greeted the advancing Frenchmen many
of whom fell. The Germans retreated
rapidly few PAGES and again threw
themselves down and remained motion
less. Rife fire tore up the ground
around them and whistled over their
heads. Rockets began to light up their
position, and machine-guns added to the
danger. The little party withdrew,
leaving one of its number dead, and re-
gained the German trenches.

ON THE CREST OF THE MAD MING WAVE

Taking advantage of the breaking up of the ice
on the Susquehanna river an old friend made an
early appearance this year,-the big black bear
which each season floats down the stream on cake
of ice,-Or log,-lands on an island and is not
heard of until the next year when the ice breaks
and bruin takes advantage of the opportunity to
do it all over again Gradually the years roll by,
that bear gets further down the river; or, rather,
is seen floating on the cake of ice far below the
point at which his bearship was seen the previous
year, but it must be the same old bear
Years ago this bear used to be seen and was duly
reported at Clearfed or Karthaus. Later the
hardy animal reported at Hyners Lock
Haven. Then it got down as far Wihamsport,
and marvellous were the stories that the news vend-
ers of that village sent to the city papers which
fairly ate up that kind of romance
Then, again. having survived Wiliamsport brun
got as far as Sunbury, at which point the pens of
the scribes fairly riot with descriptions of the
bear and it's frantic efforts to maintain it's balance
the cake of ice as it was swept down the crest
of the turbulent flood.
This year the bear has gotten further SOUTH and
the latest news of the beast t-possibly the last for
this year. for the story good for only year,
is from Selinsgrove where that same old BEAR still
DlacK not naVlng grown gray In the service OF pro-
viding newspaper stories was seen on cake of
ice,-or was it log sweeping majestically to-
ward island in the dim distance where it was the
animals duty, according to all tradition, to hop
off and wait for encore next year.
We have not heard the last of this wonderful
animal Coming generations will read with interest
the story of the black bear and the cake Of ice
floating down the Susquehanna river, and the won
derment at that great performance will never cease
nor the revenues of the space-writers.
