IDi pursuance of its tradi- tional method of pushing its adver- sary's patience to the limit, the Government .at St. Petersburg, ac- cording to reports, is feverishly busy stirring the embers of 'discord wher- ever it sees an opportunity for in- flaming British susceptibilities. It has seized upon it disturbance with the police on the Indian fron- tier as a pretext for hurrying bat- talions of Coseacks southward to the border of Afghanistan. The Czar has interrupted the Shah's juuket in Paris, ostensibly to secure Ins at- tendance at the military manoeuvres at Kursk, but actually, it, is believ- ed, to dismiss the need of a Russian railway to the Persian Gulf. Reports from Sebastopol tell of in- ordinate efforts to strengthen the Russian naval power in the Black Sea. • The recent jingo speech in Corsica, by ilt. Pelletan, French Minister of Marine, is interpreted as it sign that France is ready to join its ally in this subtle game of baiting the Bri- tish. Finally comes the announce- ment that Baron de Steel, the yen. - °rabic Russian Ambassador to the Court of St. &Tames, is about to be succeeded by "a man of more vigor- ous character." This widespread recrudescence of leuesian political energy is attribitt- ed by English diplomatists to a. clee sire on the part of the Czar's Min- isters to learn how stern is the stntr of which the foreign policy of Mr. Balfour and Lord Lansdowne is made. No one Mem that Russia will press its case anywhere beyond the point necessary to secure thts desired information; neverthelese, the British War and Navy Depart- ments are alive to the possibilities of Russia's efforts deliberately to irritate the situation. Scores of anilip.ry officers in Eng- land and South Africa have been or- dered to Miele their Indian com- mands. Major Fukushima, of the Japanese army, has arrived in Cal- cutta, to familiarize himself with the Indian Military eituation, Lord Kitchener will haeten his journey to India, abandoning bis proposed halt at Khartoum on the way.

In the afternoon Mr. Law and Miss Therrien left Brandon in a buggy for the Beresford district for a tlay's chicken shooting. Having reached their destination Law and Miss Therrien drove on to the farm of 110V74, and weee about to commence shooting. Rowe, who is seventy years of age, wag in the field at the time, and as soon as he saw the party he started his horses for the house, where he procured a gun, and returning, fired at the couple, Ms. Law had dismounted and was walk- ing beside the buggy and received several pellets of .shot• in the knee, but Miss Therrien neceived almost the with°charge in her hip and abdomen.

They usually neglect to number the different packages in a case, so that they may be identified trent the inveice without openin4. them, and the result is no end of worry to the examining officers, who often have to open everypackage to determine its contents.

It is, in- deed, difficalt to imagine that the unaesuraing, quietly -dressed yo.ung,men of six -and -twenty, with the short, athletic figure, the clear blue eyes; and irenk, healthy face, will some day be owner of at least 5350,000,000-40 fact, of a fortune so large that it is Raid his father does not know its value within 42 • FEVV MILLIONS .OF DOLLARS. That young Mr. Rockefeller is the simple, frank, manly youeg fellow he is is largely due to the conscientious care his parents have exereised in training him. Ile has literally grown up under ids father's eye, and no child could have it better model than the great American millionaire, whose zeal for all good works is his most marked tharaeteristic, and whose chief delight bas been in the class which he for so many years ham taught in the Sunday School of the Eighth Avenue Baptist Church of New York, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, junior, was educated at the Brawn Didier- sity, to which his father wipely sent him instead of to the more fashion- able Yale or Hai:Yard, where the temptation to idleness and dissipa- tion might have been so -much greater. Here he won -golden opin- ions from his fellow -students as a manly, unaffected youth, who Sould more than hold his owe in every branch of Sport from football to swimming; and from his masters by his quiet, studious, habits, .which en- abled him to take an excellent dee. gree. . From the University he went straight to it stool in his father's office, wbere for some years he per- formed the work and received' the pay of a junior clerk on exactly the same footing as to discipline and at- tendance. Here he rapidly develop- ed the business aptitude which he has inherited from his father; and in this connection it may be interest- ing to record it very early leison he learnt 111 thrift, and the value of money. 31.11113lC HE WAS. A: SMALL BOY, under a private tutor his father once offered him a penny for every board he and it young friend would nail up in the fences on his estate at Forest Perk, near Cleveland, Ohio.

India ha% no difficulty in pouring 10,000 British troops into Natal at the beginning of the South African war, and in supplementing them ale terwards, so that, in all, she sent 22,000 mon, including followers, to take part In the struggle with the Boers.. She also furnished 87,500 native troops and followers and SOO British oflicers and men for the China, expedition, besides five Dative regiments for colonial garrison duty. Her total contribution for the e.a. vices of the Empire, while the South' African war was in progress, thus amounted to 64,000 men, She also sent to South Africa and °Irina 26,- 000 horses and baggage animals, 21 million rounds of ammurition, 114,- 000 projectiles and shells, 290,000 pairs of boots, 815,000 helmets, 940,000 greatcoats and other gar- ments, 168,000 blankets, 42,000 tons of fodder and rations, 11,000 tents, and 11,000 sets of saddlery. NATIVE TROOPS FIRST IIS ' PEKN The whole makes•Ia'respectable to- tal; but it could have' been multi- plied by five had Great Britain con- sented to the employment of native troops against the Boers. How 'nes tiSe troops would have acquitted themselves had they been given the opportunity is sufficiently shown by what they accomplished in China, where regiments largely from Bom- bay and Madras, mid by no means the pick of the Indian army, were the -first inside the Legation walls cit the relief of Pekin. INDIA AS AN ARSENAL. The manufacture of Lee-Metford rifles and cordite will, shortly com- mence in India. Large gun -carriage works are newly complete. Shells and small -arm ammunition are al- ready being turned out insenormous quantities: The making pi artillery has only to be decided upon by the Government of India, and sanatiored by the Secretary of State, and it could be rapidly undertaken, excel- lent' ore, suitatble coal and extraor- dinary cheap labor being available. All this is being accomplished without contribution from the Bri- tish taxpayer. Indian revenues pay for everything connected with the Indian army, including not only the pay' and upkeep, but even the cost of recruiting the British regiments employed. 'nhe re-al-mean:lent of the entire force with modern rifles, now. nearly completed, hes been carried through without either borrowing or skimping on the part of the Indian treasury. • EQUIPMENT UP '1'0 DATE. Everything is well up to date. It was India which set an example to the world in clothing its forces in khaki. It is Dune which is to -day founding mounted infantry schools and devising modern manoeuvres. in which . 40,000 troops will be en- gaged next December about • Delhi practising the lessons of South Ai- . it is at this point that Lord Kitch- enertakes over the Commander-In- Chiefship' of the Indian army. It is safe to prophesy that in his able hands this fine fighting force will in- crease still further in efficiency and strength, and in its ability to sup- ply itself, without calling upon any other country, 'with warlike stores, including arms and ammunition. WILL WELCOME EITCIIENBE. A quarter of a million fighting men, kept up continually for the de- fence of the British Empire, with- out costing the mother 'weary a penny, claim the very highest milt, tary talent that England can pro- duce to lead and direct them. The sending of Lord Kitchener for the purpose is a recognitton of the jus- tice of this Claim, and is welcomed in Calcutta, and in Simla, roviid Sikh, eamp-fires and 421 Gtubltha out- posts, 11S en indication teat the ef- forts which Indict has nuale are ap- preciated, and that Inclinn subjects of the Empire will not again be de- nied, as they 'were. denied in South Africa, the privilege et taking equal shere with thehome nrrey wherever there is harcl fightleg to be done.
