. Pavlovo is a typical industrial village
ot the old style. The chief employment
nf the village is the production of articles
of metal, the manufacture of locks alone
giving employment to 1,400 cottages,
with 1.500 mele artincens. The pet object
of manufacture is the padlock. With the
exceptlem of the bows and springs all
tbe parts of the padlock are made by the
artificer and the members of his family
of 10 years old and upward. The em-
ployment of outsiders is the exception.
Otte family manufactures weekly from
10 to 150 locks, a,ccerding to size and
kind. Latterly an industrial school with
model workehops has been opened in
the village, and bOx and door locks have
been attempted. Barring the products of
lite larger factories, vvhich find their way
direct to Moscow and the larger cities,
the entire trade ot the district is in the
hands of the local middlemen.
Many steps already have been taken
with a view to ameliorating the lot of
the cottager and giving him a larger
share in the product of his industry.
FEATS WITH A LASII.
Fred Lindsay of Melbourne, Australia,
who served through the recent Boer war
with the First Victorian Bushmen was
trainee on cattle stations In New 'South
Wales and Queensland, and in the
search for some means of amusement in
the loneliness of camp life out there he
turned to the 18 -Inch whip with a 24 -foot
lash, used in controlling the more or less
wild cattle. Among the feats he per-
forms are the extInguLshing of a lighted
candle by a flick of the whip ; the use
of the lash as a lasso in order to trip up
a man ; the disarming of a rsere re-
volver In hand, and the cul n In half
of cigarelle atito actual being

forrhed front a distanee of two y -five

So much for the "ancient history" of
Spandau. Its greatest interest at the
present time of day is due to the impor-
tance of the ancient Julius Thurm in its
modern capacRy of guardian to Vie Ger-
man war treasure—best know -n as the
"Reichskriegschate." The fund was ori-
ginally started -by Friedrich Wilhelm L,
at* to It was later 14a4 the 120,000,000
,.marks Ova French war
indemnity. This immense sum, consist-
ing entirely of gold coins of the realm,
ts packed ifk 1,200 strong boxes or safes,
of which each contains 80,000 marks in
double crowns and 20,000 marks in
crowns.
The question has, ot oourse, been often
put, not only abroad but also In Ger-
many, whether it be wise to let 120,000,-
060 of money in hard cash 110 idle, there-
ke losing some four to five millions value
annually in what might otherwise be eta
cumulative intere,st. The modern con-
diUon of the ;money market., with Its
highly developed credit system, has so
revolutionized the banking transactions
of former times that Germany is certain-
ly the only great State,which, so to
speak; hoards its nestegg in a stocking.
And yet, fabulous as the sum may
sound, it requires bui little experience
to be able to forsee how few days would
suffice to exhaust even such princely re-
sources, If once dipped into to mobilize
as army.
In '70 the daily expenses of Prussia
alcne amounted to 6,000,000 marks, and
during these Intervening thirty-seven
years not only has there been a marked
advance in the cost of all commodities
but also thejrnInense Increase of
GERMANY'S NAVAL DEFENCES
is a special feature to be reckened with
In any future event of mobilization. Yet
before condemning lightly this talent
lying idle in the Prussian napkin it
would be as well to recall and ponder
well the el pificance of Prince Bis-
marck's words on this subject.
Speaking In the seventh sitting of the
Reichstag's Second seasdon, the chan-
cellor aold : tat only wish to point ote

we could not possibly have been in a
position to win the advantage of those
few days which were enough to secure
the whole of the Rhineland frontier, the
Bavarian as well as the Prussian,
against French invasion." Here. then,
the, political aimect of the treasure is
revealed, for there win be no two opin-

Nothing Is more striking on one's first
visit to the club, says a writer in the
Lady, than the extraordinary high spi-
rits one meets on every side. Some say
they are forced, others that they are due
to the lightness and brighlness of the
air, but certainly such jokes and laugh-
te:• are not heard elsewhere. Tragedy
may lie underneath, but on the surface
all is merriment. Almost everyone Ls
young, and all are ready for a little
companionship and amusement after the
long hot hours spent In the office or
bungalow. It is this friendly intercourse
with one another which Anglo -Indians
miss so much when they first return to
England and have to put up with the
aloofness of oountry society or the limi-
lotions of suburbia.
Then, India is the Ideal' country for
visiting. Each visitor arrives at a
friend's bungalow with his own servants
and ponies. Native servants are respon-
sible for their own meals of curry and
rice, and curl themselves up in a rug to
sleep in aey available corner, so are no
trouble he any person's household. The
'butler, *Ito knowa your likes and dis-
likes better than you do yourself, makes
it his special duty to see that no home
comforts are lacking, and is alwaye
particularly generous with a strange
"master's" goods.
If there are- many visitors, the array
of smart beturbaned butlers in the din-
ing -room is most imposing, and the
waiting is done as if by magic.
There are certain advantages in living
in a country where houses are cheap,
servants are oheaper and meat can be
bought fur 2d. a pound. By a curious
native arrangement there is no fixed
standard of prices for articles of food
sold in the b\izaar. The teem -sahib pays
much or little, according to the salary
earned by her husband, which is always
known to a penny.
CHINESE AS SOLDIERe.
Experience of an English Officer Who
Drilled and Trained Them.
One of the greatest aseets possessed by
Chinese as soldiers is in their marching
power ; another is their ability to men-
age with the smallest amount of trans-
port, owing to the hardy outdoor life
and climate to whieli they are acrus-
tozned, and to the fact that they live al-
most entirely on rice, writte Mayor C.
D. Bruce in the United Service Niagazine.
Two other points in their fevor are that
they have no caste prejudices, and have
already learned the virtue of discipline
before they enlist. Drunkenness is prac-
tically unknown among them, but Itiey
have the national failings of gambling
and opium smoking.
My own experience leads me to clas.s
most native soldiers as grown-up chil-
dren, and perhaps the west etilldlike is
the Chinaman. All the Iralts.which have
to be studied in dealing with children nre
se many keys to open the door to wider -
standing their nature. Most amenable
to kindness, he is at times quite capable
of taking advantage of it.
Firmness lie not only appreciates bill
prefers; that Is. once he realizes. us
boys say. that it Is no use to "try eri."
Above all, he admires and will do ony•
thing for those whom he renlizes are iry•
Mg invariably to be just to him. V. he -
Bier gratitude is lo be set dou-n as Ei
charaeterislic, opinions may differ,
My own is that lie has it, and would
exhibit, 11 more did not the hide -bound
conventions by which Chinese unwritten
law surrounds him make it ecnnetimee
nearly impaselble. Whatever feelings
may remain In the hearts of those whose
fate it was to go through the unique
experience of serving his gracious Ma-
jesty as sokilers in the into chinese
Begiment of Infantry, I feel 'lint I am
on sure ground in sitying that the mem-
ories nf those who trained them will
long retain the happiest revollections of
the trials through which officerx, non-
commissioned officers and men paesed
together.

Every member of the family who is
te attend a Court receives a separate
invitation, and all those individuate who

deevered, by post. Equerries are speci-
ally sent to eaoh Royal personage with..
Ids or her invitation card, and drive in
rcyat carriages to their destination; and
or) the night the Court is held these
privileged individuals enter the palace
by a special door.
It would be of no use to strike out an

As the train is usually the most ex-
