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., administration, S252.700.(0I, email to 37 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. ENGI.ISiI SllOd' NOTICES.

'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. HENRY F.

RECORD IN MATRIMONY A MAN WHO MARRIED ONE IiL:N- DRED WIVES. • 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. i)ne of his earliest experiments in the domain of Cupid was on n pretty pa- tient who speedily fell n victim to his fascinations, and who►, he led to the nllnr in 1903. ,Hut her tenure of married bliss was brief ; for. after borrowing $.1,000 from his father-in-law, ostensibly to buy A DENTAI. he disnppenred. and n few weeks paler tsra1110 tie husband of another bride at Boston.

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. 4 VNLCCKV ROYAL. SAILORS.
