Six TLottsaud Biles of Railroad Now Reins_ Built In tis^ tzars Dominions. c The empire of Russia had, according g to the last off i• ial reports. which show- ed that at the beginning. of the present year the total length of railways open for traffic in Russia was 25,975 miles. of which 15,200 miles belonged to the States, exclusive of 945 miles of the Trans -Caspian railroad, whit;h i9 in the hands of tbe Minister of War. The area of Russia in Europe is 2,100,000 square miles, and of Russia in Asia, 6.400,000 square miles. a total of 8,500,- 000 square miles. This deficiency of communication, however, is being, if not rapidly, at least steadily, overcome, and it is computed that there are now 6,000 miles of roads in course of construc- tion, and it is estimated that by the end of the century there will be some- thing like 32,000 miles of railroad in the Russian empire, two-thirds belong- ing to the State. • The growth of the railroad system in Russia, modestly begun in 1837, has been, very rapid since 1890. The first road constructed was sixteen miles long, from St. Petersburg to Tsarskoe- Selo, and in 1840 this was the only.line •a ad i i1850 mileage h n the em the re. In P,g in the empire. In 1850 the mileage of Russian railroads had increased to 300 miles, and in 1860 it was still less than 1,000. In 1870 the mileage of Russian railroads was '7,000 miles ; in 1880 it was 14,000; in 1890 it was 19,560. It has since increased with such rapidity that, as stated, it is expected that before 1900 there will be 82,000 miles of rail- roads in Russia. One difficulty from which the railroads of Russia have heretofore suffered severity has been the lack of freight business. In other words, the Russih:n railroads have, been, run chiefly for- passenger traffic; the,. Profits of which are' relatively. small-- end, theexpenses of which are •inordie nateleelarge. Up�to twenty five'yeare age the railroads of Russia carried twice as an y passengers i a year asthey did tons of freight, though gradu- ally the disparity between the two has been lessened, and since 1.880 the pro-. portion of freight carried has( been ma- terially larger than heretofore. The Russians are beginning to utilize their railroad facilities:. for the transporta- tion of freight to a greater extent than was formerly the case with them, andas a result of this, managers of the various lines have found it profi- table extend them.

If the wish is to spray for leaf spot. use the Bordeaux mixture of copper sulphate, four newels: quicklime (not air -slaked), four pounds, and water to make fifty gallons. Spray when the leaves are unfolding; again two weeks later, and, if neces cry, two or three weeks after the second spraying.

Interview milk meas. -Gemmed Sir Fred- erick Middleton, I . C. M. G., Ce B.— Iuieresting :Incidents in Els Career. It was my pleasant fate recently, writes a representative of "Black and White," of London. to have a long talk with that most gallant of British vet- erans who is known throughout the services as "Fred. Middleton." We were in his new quarters in the Tower of London, St. Thomas's Tower; for, as many know, General Middleton was not long ago appointed Keeper of the Crown Jewels in the Tower, and any modern Colonel Blood would think twice before attempting to repeat the famous episode of Charles II.'s reign, did he but take the preliminary pre- caution of dipping into the General's record. Though it is now fifty-four years since "Sir Fred"- was gazetted to the Fifty -Eighth Regiment, and more than seventy since he was born, be looks as capable as ever of tackling a foe. At least I fancy that any one who attempted to play elarmion to the Gen- eral's Douglas, would come off second best. Of course Sir Fred has bis own special room in St. Thomas's Tower, and this he calls his "den." It is com- fortable and lofty, with a window com- manding a view of the Thames audits traffic, and should time. hang heavily, the movement of the great cantilever bridge affords a constant object of wonder and admiration. Sir Fred. kindly placed his desk and desk -chair at my disposal, while he walked up and down smoking a short pipe, and Lady Middleton charmingly aided con- versation. Her ladyship, who is a French-Canadian, gave me the key to her distinugishod husband's character. when she remarked that he was "un vrai John Bull," and looking at the General you have no difficulty in realiz- ing that he has been at the front in MANY A DEADLY MELEE. With some officers the manner and ap- pearance do not always accord with their warlike reputation. You pie ture them in a fray, and think of the fly in amber. With General Middle- ton it is quite different. In a rough- and-tumble onslaught or where the bullets wore flying thick, you feel he would be in his element. Did he not, wben Commander -in -Chief in Canada, for example calmly shave himself in a cart before a looking -glass under heavy fire. But the General rather poohkpoohs imputations of superior "Every Englishmen," said he grave- ly and emphatically, "has a certain amount of courage. It requires great moral courage, to run away." On my asking, when the General told me that he was born on Nov. 4, '25, if he objected to my letting the world into the secret of his age, Sir Fred re- plied with a starry laugh:— I'm not a lady; I'm a pretty old boy now, f can tell you." "Shall Iut that down, Sir Fred- erick t"—"Ip don't think I'm slum an ass as to stand on personal dignity. Life's too short for that sort of thine'." And so it wail I1legan to count the General's pipes. He is a great smoker. "You have six over there on a stand, besides those on the table." --"And a draworful more, but the six on the stand are meerschaums." "Mleersch'sums 1 sat [meerschaums 1"— "That's not the eoint. Look at them. Thee- are all Leatitifully cnlnred." "What a lot of knick knacks you have on the mantel -shelf,". said 1. 1.eeotr.ing more brazenly ane coiciy inquisitive. Ladies like these sett, of things."—"I bury 'em myself off the men in the streets," said Sir Fred 'I like collect- ing in 'em." But now for General bi'iddletons ca- reer. I think I had better give it in !:old resume and than t4c1 my anecdotes at the end. After being gazetted to the Fifty -Eighth Regiment on Dec. $0, '42, AT THE AGE QF SEVENTEEN, Frederick Middleton was promoted lieutenant into the Ninety -Sixth Re- gserving Re- gimentin India.. Ile exchang- ed xch an g- ed into the Twenty -Ninth in '55, serv- ing in Burmah, and was promoted to an unattached majority in '63, brevet lieutenant-colonelcy in '69, full colon- elcy in "78, mejoregencral in '85, re- tiring in '87 with crank of lieutenant- general. Ae was made a C.S. in May, •131, and received the £100 a year for distinguished services in '85. His war services are as follows:—New Zealand War, '16-'47, mentioned in despatches and medal ; in the 2anthal Rei:ellion as a volunteer, mentioned in despatches and received the thanks of the Indian Government ; in the Indian Mutiny, '57-'58, four times mentioned in des- patches, brevet of major and clasp ; commanded the Field Force in Canada during the rising under Riel in the North-West in '8e, received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament, and a grant of £4,000 l$.C.M..G., rank of major -general, and medal and clasp. His staff services tyre thus chronicled:— Served hronicled;Served as A.D.C. to three geueral offi- cers; as deputy -judge -advocate ; as bri- gade -major Field In- dia a major toSaraom 1' e d Fore, - cn dna ; on the military survey in Canada; as superintending offi: er of garrison instruction at home, '70=74; as com- mandent, Royal Military College, '74- '84 ; and as major -general command- ing the Canadian Militia, '84-'90. Among General Middleton's more re- markable adventures was one which oc- curred to him durieg the Indian Mu- tiny. Sir Fred always used a boar -spear when on Sir Edward. Lugard's staff. elks went out of "the den" for a few moments and returned with the iden- tical dentical weapon. It had been mended near the spear -end with ateol clamps, and. was pretty heavy and hard, as the wdod i~ ad a - rebel was male. bamboo. Sir Fled n Sowar were charging each other. The Sower t withb -c t severed the a s are u boar-spear,while Sir Fred eliding RAN TILE REBEL THROUGH. with the half of the spear and killed him. As I could see, the sabre -cut had left the half with a sharp razor -like edge on one side. The mending, of course, was done after the incident, and this s eea r-he ad mak esa most in - tereatin trophy.Sir Fred was re- commended eoomme ad for the Victoria Cross but did not get itas Lord Clyde did not i staf • wish any officer on his f.to have it. The incident that led to this recom- mendation is described in Kaye and Malleson's "History of the Indian Mu- tiny.." utiny.."

Here is an incident wbieh aeclirred after the storming of the Moulvie's well -fortified house in the outskirts of Lucknow. The story% is giv- en, in the words of Sir Fred, who had formed one of the storming party. "When the fight was over, I thought I would go up a minaret in the corner of the building and survey the city. I was soon at the top, gazing out, when a tremendous explosion took place, and something whizzed past my ear, Turning round r saw smoke com- ing out front behind a stone sereen just at the top of the stairs, and run- ning round, I was grappled by adark gentleman, who tried to draw A NASTY -LOOKING KNIFE. I had no weapon but an empty re- volver, and so, as there was no time to lose, I grappled also. In our strug- gle we were getting unpleasant.ls near the edge of the marble floor. The min- aret was about fifty or sixty feet high, and there was nothing to prevent one from practically testing the height ex- cet four light ch fte of maalawhich supported the roof ; so I made it des- perate effort, and presently found my- self alone. As I was looking down to see where my friend had gone to, to my horror'I saw the General. with the rest of his staff, just riding into the courtyard, all looking up at the min- aret. I saw him beckon to me, and as Ihad comeaway withoutout leave, he h a v- ing been away at headquarters when I left, I went down the stairs rather slowly and thoughtfully. When I presented myself he gave it me rath- er hot, reminding me that this was not the first time I had gone off scrummaging on my own account with- out leave., and forbidding me ever to do so again. Of course, I apologised most humbly." Among General Miridleton's hobbies are animal pets. He has tried his hand on mongooses, monkeys, bears and tigers. His anecdotes of his experiences in this connection would make a long and entertaining article, which none could write better than himself, could 1 he but be persuaded to undertake the• task. He is a born raconteur, and no- I where can a more delightful hour of conversation be passed than with this brilliant ornament of the British army and his amiable and charming wife. 0" :%�.�`�•.&1:,'iN" ' -: 756: :3,..W asti> {".4.9.1 IVER PILLS.
