'Uaoyang and l\1uleden were tl'llh' enough to breal. the spirit and 11lssolve the ranles or the stoutest troops In the world. In spite of the list of lellled' and wounded , of the prisoners , of the guns and trophies the war could still have been carried on. Yet Marengo , a mere Rlilrmlsh In comparison to thest > battles of giants , decided the fate of a nation. Jena laid a king. 110m In the dust. Even Friedland com. pelled a czar to come to terms.

Tartar" Ilnd "Scratch a. Russian and ) 'ou find a Tar- tar. " "Orie or the puzzles or history has been the origin or the fierce na. tlon , which , under the conqueror Ohen- ghls Khan , once grabbed Russia by the nape or the necle and shook the lIfo almost out of It , as a dog seizes and shakes 0. rat. Most of the Tartar hordes swept I back to their 4\3latlc fastnesses ; some remained and mingled and Intermar. rled with the Muscovite people- enough , Indeed , to justify the saying , "Scratch a Russian and rou find a Tartar. " And that phrase expresses the notion that the clothes or the Russian - sian conceal the heart of a savage. The Tartars are usually regarded as a Mongolian 11eople , but there Is not much Mongol blood In the present race of Tartars. It Is true they get tbolr name from the ancient Mongol trlbo of Ta-Ta , so to bo strictly correct you should omit the first "r" from the tribal name. Dut the Tartars are a composlto race , and the leading strain In them is Turlclsh. 'I'hey arc scattered - tered over much of Western Asia-In Siborla , 'rurkestan , Persia and the northern part of 'I'urlwy In Ausla , be. sides the Caucasus region , where they are now malclng troublo. They are Mohammedans , hence their proclamation - tion of a "haIr war" against Russia. Yet pol'gam , } ' Is d'lng out In this sturdy race In splto of their hatred of Christians. Of course , largo numbers of Tar. tars stili lead a roving lIfo lIIto Dedo. ulns and Kurds , talcln ! ; their herds of cattle from ono pasture land to an. other.

The region gave Its name to the whlto race-so called , though It Includes people as dark as the Hindus. Mount Ararat , where Noah's ark rested after the Deluge , and whence his sons reo peopled the globe , Is In the Caucasus mountain system. So It Is not strange that that ancient crndlo of humanity Is a very cosmopolitan country. And It Is this venerable land that Is the homo of the vast 011 Industry of the Husslan omplre.
