that the character of the men In the
navy has greatly Improved of late, and
that they can be trusted.
Next to the growth of the I'nltec
States, tlx1 expansion of the Russian
empire Is the most potentially signifi
cant fact in contemporary history.
Considerable excitement was caused
in various foreign offices recently by
the report that Russia had decided to
regard Manchuria as part of the em
pire. Yet -it is well known that Rus
sian influence has been dominant in
Manchuria since 3SH8, and that little
more Is needed to make it Russian ter
ritory then the official acknowledg
ment that China no longer exercises
authority there. Russia can afford to
wait for this, as It already enjoys prac
tically all the advantages of posses
sion, including access to the ice-free,
ports of the Yellow Sea. It is large
ly because Russian statesmen know
how to wait for the opportune moment
that the empire is so large to-day, and
that Its encroachment on the territory
of other nations interests foreign min
isters so deeply. For nearly six cen
turies, ever since the empire was noth
ing more than Moscow with a few
hundred square miles round about,
Russia has been expanding. For two
centuries expansion has gone on with
a definite and consistent policy. It
was Peter the Great who secured the
territory on which St Petersburg now
stands. In order that he might have
access to tne open sea. Access to tne
Baltic, and to the North Pacific
through Siberian ports, has not con
tented his successors. Through Man
churia they have reached the Yellow
Sea, and are drifting southward to
ward the Mediterranean and the Per
sian Gulf with a steadiness which sug
gests the irresistible movement of the
glacier. The disturbing facts In Eu
ropean politics are chiefly attributable
to Russian aspirations; the control of
the Balkan states, in order to secure
access by Its navy to the Medlter
nanean, and the domination of Persia
so effectually as to secure a highway
from Its own frontier to the Persian
Gulf for commercial and military pur
poses. These Imperial projects conflict
with the Interests of Great Britain,
Austria, Italy and Germany. They are
especially injurious to Great Britain,
since in both cases they admit a pos
slble future enemy to points adjacent
to the way to India. The Russian
movement toward the Persian Gulf, in
particular, is so seriously regarded
In London that the- government has
formally declared In Parliament that
the establishment of a naval station
In those waters would be regarded as
a menace to liriush interests, and
would be resisted.
A Liegead A boat Cat.
The Ancient Greeks thought that ah
creatures except cats had souls and
that that animal lost Its soul through
a bargain made between a bridge
architect and the devil. The architect
had besought the devil to get bis help
In constructing an exceedingly danger

majesty only consented to lend aid on
condition that the first creature to
crafts it should Idee Its soul.
This was agreed upon, the bridge
finished In due time and the devil sent
to the opposite side to await his prey.
The shrewd architect took good cars
to send a cat over before any human
being was allowed to cross. On learn

the very beet. In season the variety
Is medium to late. T'nfortunately, re
sults are not all that can be desired
on heavy soils or clay, but on sandy

lesson, which Is frequently the case
with' sorts that have Wn grown from
the beginning In lighter soils. At all
events, the variety has too uiany good
points to throw It aside for culture on
heavy soils after a single season of

lu this Instance the price of a collar

the cVraft Is often thrown on the outer
edge of the shoulders, while it should
be as cli se In as possible. When an
animal gels a sore sot on some p:irt
of his shoulder It Is sometimes possible
to cut a hole in the pad and thus re
lieve the pressure on this place until it

have a collar fit the shoulder well.
Where this Is the case there is seld rm
any danger of irritation, providing the
haiiies are properly fitted to the collar

are put on. It never pays to work
