The, London Times' Russian tor- - respondents say that the clieincliatte tion to join tho colors for inanohuria, recently noticeable in South Russia, is becoming throughout the country. Competent opinion puts the number of reservists who so far have es- caped at 20,000 at least. It has been shrewdly suspected that in spite of Russia's overwhelming strength on paoer, she has already been sadly put to it to equip oven 150,000 trained soldiers from. her . 'Europeaa countries for service in hehuria. Even military men ad- mit that two more European corps will exhaust the Russian stock of eirectivelo trained and properly equipped men. G -RAIN TRAFFIC BLOCKED. Tho Itussion correspondents of the London Times report extraordinary accumulations of grain in Russia. The block is estimated at 91,1.86 and trucks, containing about . a million tons of grain. The grain blocks are bound to assume even greater proportions during tho next few weeks, and it is exceedingly doubtful whether the last, of tho sidings will be cleared without the assistance of the waterways at the opening of next year's navigation. The losses, many of which have to be borne by the moojiks, or peas- ants, are most serious. DISORDERS IN RUSSIA. A .dospatch from.

An affable manner is of great vielue to the woman who desires to maw lierself egreeable, and geniality counts for it great deal. The Wc2111“71 W110 wants to make 'herself lilted by behig agreeable must have one style for all; Glare MUSt 101 0 coasideration of poeition of par- es in this respect; the rule shourtf be one style for rich and poor; no fawning on the one, or haughtiness for the other; the woman who adopte tbis latter line of behaviour ends by being dieliked t,tll retold. Some women, ia company, rely on their looks to pull them through. Nature having clone her part hand- somely, the pretty woman thialis site may rest on her oars. Never Was a greater mistake made; the uglieso woman on earth who strives under all circumstances to mako. beroelf agreeable is LIKED AND LOVED as 210 pretty woman ever can hope to be who will not take the trouble to bo agreeable. The most unfortenutto of all wo- men, liowee-er, is the one who does not strive to be agreeable in the home, in other words, with husband and family; such a (me is to be piti- ed, but she has hereelf to blame. She has domestic d'uties to perform but why does she omit the most im- portant of them all? Surely a wife has no higher domes- tic duty to perform than that of making herself agreeable to husband and family? It is a common thing for a wife, if lier husband begins to hold fortli genially, to cut him short, "I can't be bothered with that to -night," she says, and the man naturally stops, thought with resentment. Then the young ones violet a, little noise, and she is up in arras at once, "I won't have you playing and mak- ing a noise near me," she says, and the poor things desist from their romps. Sueh a wife, and mother, has not learnt the art of making herself agreeable; she should listen quietly to her husband, and impress him With tho fact that she is interested, in all misitters he cares to talk about. She should smile on the children', wben busy enjoying their romps, and in such simple wae,s make herself agreeable i71 the home, There is no looepier woman on tine earth than she who has thoroughly mastered the art of making herself agreeable; she carries sunshine wher- ever slie goes.
