THE RUSSIAN BUDGET.
Revenue Over a Billion and Vel There
Is a Deficit.
Nothing Gould present n more forbid-
ding aspect to the student of national
economy than the Hissian budget, says
a Sl. Petersburg correspondent. The
utter Impossibility of falhoniing the elu-
sive mysteries of That stupendously -
intricate document soon be+omes evident
1, the average reader. yet such figures
as one is able to grasp and apprerlate
are absorbingly interesting and instruc-
tivl.
The ordinary revenue of the country
l+ put down at $1,087.500,000, while the
"extraordinary" receipts are placed at
about $18t„5(10,(100. Without entering in-
to details, the budget shows, in reality.
a deficit of $184,5&%),000, the origin of
' which is partly the ever -recurring fam-
ines. It was to cover the must urgent
of these items that Ike Government re-
cently had to call for an internal loan of
331,500,000, the remainder is to be set-
tled by ,leans of a projected foreign loth
of $I 17,000,000, and both of (hese Icons
are marked clown on the budget as "ex-
traordinary receipts.” The total amount
derived from ordinary sources of direct
taxation, customs and stamp duties, ere.,
con only bo slated npproxinlntely, but
M. Vodovozoff, the eminent Russian ex-
pert estimates the full amount raised by
tnxnlion 111 3690,000.(100. These figures
correspond on Ike debit side with the
fallowing chief items : The national
credit, in which Is included payment of
interest on the national debt of 8190,-
&O,0(10, making it 28 per cent. of the
Wel laxation receipts. and nrnly and
navy. $236,R50,000, or about 35 per cent.,

po- cent. The tern) "administration"
-covers the imperial family, the Govern-
ment. the various Ministries, State o111-
cinls, law and police, etc. The Imperial
House alone receives over $7,750.000, be-
sides nn enormous revenue from the
Imperial estates. The cost of the pollee
service has been doubled in the last live
years, nid is now $31010,000, ns against
$22,000,001 for education.

STRUGGLE FOR TRUTH
God's Work Waits for You to Put Your
Hand to the Sword.
"The sword of the Lord and of Gide-
on.''—Judges vii., 20.
'1','e mightiest and the eternal forces
fight ever on the side of the right
True, things do not always look that
nay. Sometimes Napoleon's sneer about
(eil always being on the side of the
1 igest battalions seems to have troth
:n it. But ere long we see the largo
Lrlttilliohs swept away before the
strange, unaccountable, and irresistible
power of an insignificant body having
truth and God on its side.
The roan who takes up the struggle
ler truth, who puts his hand to lie
sword for the oppressed, for the right,
buds himself holding a two handled
weapon, and if he grnsps firmly the one
hilt it is as though there were an ono
niiotenl hand grasping the other. i1c
who fights worthily, in luting battle,
r.c-ver fights alone. Often he may seem
to stand with atone to aid, but one
r,;ighlier than he is with him.
11 is not that sonic omnipotent per-
sons steps down from a throne in the
heavens and plunges into the battle; it
is That every time a Ulan steps out for
right and truth he places himself in re-
cord with the eternal spiritual forces
that give themselves to him and his
work. it is not that God conies to fight
fur a man so much as that a min ands
himself
FIGHTING BESIDE GOD;
entering this battle, he sees that where
he thought none had been serving :he
heavens had long been waging the con-
test.
1t is so easy, like old Elijah, to think
fiat you alone are left to witness for
truth, to feel the joneliness of standing
for things noble and worthy, to be-
come oppressed with the hopelessness
of the minority in which you find your-
self. When real and concrete things
press upon us and their uproar is )n
cur cars we become deaf and blind lo
the greater forces that from the begin-
ning of time have been working for the
hest.
Every great reform has looked like n
((:sing movement; it hes begun wilt)
most insignificant minorilies; it has met
with volenl and well organized opposi-
tion; its supporters have often been
faint hearted. and yet ultimately It has
overcome always. As men have fought
:' they have found an unseen hand
gasping the sword beside their=.
\\c all need this sense of God with
us, helping us in our lives. This gives
courage and confidence. It does not
wean weak reliance upon heaven to .!o
things for us; it means entering on the
things that look inn possible because 've
kr;ow that, if they ere right, every great
f,•rce in the universe will co-operate
\villi us.
This is the floe sense in which the
human enters into partnership with the
divine. This determines whether we
luny call our work divine or not. it is
tc be judged, not by whether it is plea-
sant or looks respectable, but by whe-
ther it is the work in which we know
th.s Lord of all can lay his hand to the
1(41 or weapon alongside of our hands.
\\'iltt a consciousness like this, one
can attempt anything; nothing is lon-
ger impossible. 'fhe practical question
:s not, "can this be done?" but
"OUGHT THIS TO RE DONE?"
is it such a tusk as will enlist the co-
operation of the eternal spirit of truth
and right? With the cry of Gideon on
(heir lips, men have fared forth facing
fearful odds; their hands have fallen
from their swords, but Iho unseen hand
has carried them 011 until ttie cause is
won.
The Almighty. who would have love
and pence and righteousness to prevail
needs your hand for His sword; the
sword of the Lord is vain without Gid-
eon. Ideals and spiritual forces may
exist, but men niust be (heir realizations,
(heir visible hands. God's work walls
fez you to put your hand to the sword;
you will find His already there.
This helping hand is always unseen;
spiritual things are strange, indefinite.
and often apparently unreal. God can -
Lot be reduced to figures nor to ma-
terial elements. This hand that works
with ours may mean one thing to one
end another to another. What we ell
Toed is to simply grasp the great fact
of the spiritual forces that strengthen
every good resolve, That give vigor in
t- ery good work, and give victory al
last to the right.

though Lesson VII does not mention
Moses, it is a description of the sad con-

Mose.s:s early life. The moral end spiri-

A Dentist's Amazing Career of Poly-
gamy In the United Stales
and England.
If the legendary Bluebeard were alive
to -day he would no doubt be construed
with envy of u certain gentleman, whom
we will cull "Dr. X ," who was run
to earth not long ago in America after
an amazing career of polygamy, the
story of which leaves the inventions of
fiction -writers impotently behind. As the
matrimonial feats of this modern Blue -
beard are almost unknown in Canada,
a trier sketch of them can scarcely fail
to interest our readers.
Dr. X— was born In Switzerland
forly•flve years ago. and i.s described as
n man of athletic build and ultraclive
exterior. and with a strange, hypnotic
power, which the has done ample jostle's
lo, over susceptible females. Until a
few years ago he was known as nn ex-
ceedingly clever dentist, and seems to
have been content with that useful. if
painful, role. until he discovered that
there was n more lucrative exercise for
his talents in the hearts of his fair pa -
tit nes Ilian in (heir mouths.

He married n Polish widow and

moon left his young wife and went to

iiEAT THE SOIL FROM BENE.ATil.
German Iles a Plan to Increase Crops of
Early Spring Vegetables.
Dr. Winer, a German, is responsible
foe the latest agricultural idea, whish is
now the subject of experiment in Ger-
many and France— that of artificially
healing the soil for the purpose of push-
ing the growth of vegetable;. It Ls said
to promise remarkable results, especially
in the quickening of spring vegetables
and their development in size and lux-
uriance.
Tho method consists in burying at a
depth of 20 to 40 inches under the field to
be treated conduits of earthenware,
through which steampipes about an inch
In diameter are laid. Steam, at a tem-
perature of about 3'0 degrees is forced
through the pipes ; it worms the air in
the conduit, and the treat slowly radiates
through the clay conduit, swarming the
earth.
Leakage of heat is very slow'. Experi-
ment is said to show that when the sur-
face of the ground is about freezing point
the soil at a depth of 12 to 20 inches has
a temperature of 42 degrees.
Assuming that the artificial healing
were begin early in atnrch, when this
conditlou existed, a very small expendi-
ture of heat would be needed to cause
the desired stimulation, and the radia-
tion into the air would be exceedingly
gradual. in wanner weather the su•fuee
heating from the sun would actually
counteract the radiation of the artificial
heat.
Of course the plan does not contem-
plate heating the soil in the dead of win-
ter when atmospheric oold would kill
any plants that might be artificially
caused to germinate. The idea is simply
l� nid mature when the spring sets in.
Asparagus, lettuce, young onions, cu-
cumbers, radishes and other spring
plants are the ones on which it is ex-
pected to use the system with most effect.
Later in combination with forcing frames
it may be used on strawberries, and ex-
periments luny be tried on various fruit
trees. The method is likely to be applied
to floriculture and the growth of plants
fat seal purposes also.
11 is calculated that the expense of in-
stallation for each space of 2,500 square
yards in Germany or Franco is alot.t
8250 plus the steam generating appara-
tut which may be large or small accord-
ant; to the tract to be heated. and widen
may be used for other purposes. The
cost of the heating is figured tit 115 a
month.
The annual increase in profit for the
same patch of ground sown with early
vegetables is figured at 8500 on a three -
months dealing of the soil.

The second period is motherhood. The
drain on the system is great and the ex-
hausted nerve force and depleted blood

A tremendous change is taking place in
the system, and it is at this tune many
ohronuo diseases manifest tbenselvea.
