RAILROADS IN RUSSIA.

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

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

age the railroads of Russia carried

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

weeks after the second spraying.

HE IS A CANADIAN HERO,
KEEPER OF THE CROWN JEWELS IN
THE TOWER OF LONDON.
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,

and r did not, though we were both
in it." 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.
