RUSSIAN COTTAGE FACTORIES. Village of Which the Chief Industry Is Manufacture of Padlocks. Russian cottage factories are passing. Pcilltico-economic tumults have driven tailors, joiners, grocers, bakers and cundle stick makers to lumbering stone. picking and other labors more remunera-, live. . 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 smelted. in each case the trick s per- forrhed front a distanee of two y -five feet, and the lash of the whip is kan Au° hide. madt, from sixteeh strands of nned TREE TItAT REALLY WEEPS.

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 onc fact : hadeve not had a State fund 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- lops concerning the impottance of Ruch promee action, the advantage gained liy the slde-Mat can bring its forces mark- ost to Me front, for from the military veoaliunedt, o.f eteW the advantage of even a few days ta by fib means to be under- , In the business of everyday life the accumUlation of utiptoductlye repeat ts carefully avoided, all hionetary trans- actioni being careied on 10 such manner as to avoid in as 'great a degree as pos- sible every lose of interest.

While some indulge In croquet or Badminton,- °them 1111 the tennis courts, which are provided with a num- ber•of little brown -faced boys who run about and pick up the bulls.

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.
