Russia is calculated to have increaend
from 62,000,000 to 130000,000. This cal-

forming Muscovite protectorates, such as
Moira and Bokhara, which already have
been or must, in the course of nature, be
ultimately incorporated with the protect-

proposed fifty years ago. and since then
the estimated cost has been reiliund
from $50,000,000 to $20,000,000. The cor-

countries at present have no doubt
prompted its promoters to once more
trot the scheme out, but it is doubtful if
the military authorities on the British
side will take tiny more kindly to it.

put LENGTH OF A DREAM,
"The othtr afternoon," said a doctor,
"1 called to ace a patient, And, much 10 -
ms entisft :tion, I found hint sleeping
soundly. I sat by his bed, felt his pulse
without disturbing him, and waited for
him to awaken. After a few minutes,
a dealer's cart, with discordant ringing
bells, turned into the street, and as,
their first tones reached ate my patient
opened his eves.
"'Doctor,' he snid, `I'm glad to see -

came into the room with a string of
most horribly sounding bells and rang
them in cm• ears, while I hadn't the•

WOMEN AFTER MIDDLE AGE.
After middle age the average woman
begins to care more for women than she•
does for men. tier allegiance undergoes
n psychie change, icer eyes are opened,
her ,judgment cleared, and she learns to
aepprcctate her Own sex fully. The char-
Aett'vistics that seemed to her hate-
ful frailties long ago, are defended now
as their poetic distinctions. She sees ilt
every girl the fair mirage of her own,
youth; in the pathetic cine worn face of
the young matron; the gentle heroism
of her other years; in the mother of a
grown family her own eueen days when
sons and daughters suddenly grew tall
and proclaimed her. And for them alt she
has a chastened affinity. Men have pass-
ed out of her calculations. They are the
things with whom she failed or succeed-
ed, from lover and husband down to her
youngest son. And, however much she
remains dependent upon her, she is no
longer elated to them in the same way.
She has survivtst them and returned to
lilt Ottn.

ALWAYS IN LOVE,
Thomas Moore was always in love. If
one looks through hie poems one may
find the names of some sixteen different
women to whom he swore eternal fidel-
ity.
It ie characteristic of the human race
that the men and women are generally
running after each other,
