Th eethusiasea• with which the Szar Ninnolas II. has been welcomed In Franco monis to indicate that no, tim ji iaternational politics is more stable tame the tie which con- nects -the French Reputilie with the Russian Ere. We believe that•tlut tnference Is well founded but there are not wanting observers who tae differeut view of the matter. Tbase 'was) regard the Dual Alliance en short-lived base their prediction oa the a,sserbion, which is, they saY, self-evident, that the main, if not the only, profit thus far =ruing from the partnership has been reaped by Russia. There is no doubt that thei fielancial service? rendered. by France to her Russian ally have been ol La - estimable value. In the first plac�. they have enablen the St. Peters- ' burg Governmeat to refund a. large part of its public debt at a lower Tate of interest, if this were all, the eutcookie Q %101 stroke of lenerdeniain would be equiva- lent to a free gift of an immense sum o reouey. As a matter of fact, how- ever, France has not ouly enabled Russia to meet the annual interest en her previous indebtedness with a, smeller draft upon her treasury, but she has done, want ito other Euro- pean country waif able or willing to do to anything like the same extent; she has made it possible for Russia greatly to increase her previous in- debtedness. It is true that the St. Petersburg Goverrimeut Lao neanaged to borrow a, little money in Germany and also. A. little in the United Stat- es, but it is vale to say she bas found Prance willing to lead ten times as Mach, 'ao relative proportion o the Pe- tuniery assistance to be expected by "tussle, front Germany, on the one nd. and from France. on the other, as indicated in the telegrams re- 4ved, from St. Petersburg and from erlin. On the one hand we are told hat the meeting of the Czar and the lerman Kaiser at Druitzie bas been allowed by an agreement on the part f rap-en:flan syndicate, sanctioned by le German Government, to sub- scribe far $20,000,000 Of Russian railroad bonds. On the other hand, we aro informed that the Czar's visit to Compiegne is counted upon to fa- cilitate, before the close of the year the placing of a new Russian loan sonounting to $200,000,000 by Paris bankers. It fs, in a word, prinelpnl- ,,ly on the finareial resources of her French partnet that Russia relies for he completion off the Trans-Siberian IlailisaY, for the4construction of her projected canals, and for the enlarge- ment and equipi .ent of her army and narY. 1Vhat France/ has done for Russia Is, indeed, obTious enough, but those who 'take a Pdasimistic view of the Dual Alliance linaintein that the for- mer country has received no quid pro quo. It is certain that, during the years which Nave succeeded the con- clusion of thnaFranco-Russlan eettgue, France has &cit advanced a step, ap- parently t‘ward the recovery of Al - mace -Lorre, ne, or to the reassertion of her for Neither , uer ascendancy in Egypt. as she made, meanwhile, rtaut territorial acquisie any part of the globe, for d scarcely In such terms de - the concessions obtained in south-west provinces of China, the arrangemeat effected with eat Britain in. reference to the ntier of Siam, or to spheres 'of faience in the region south of the anara. So far as influence in the Ottoman Empire is concerned, France has manifestly lost grouad at Con- stantinople during the last decade, and is, seemingly, receiving no very strenuous support from Russia, in her eflorts to regain it. Even. if we admit, however, that the benefit de - mace from the Dual Al - been negative rather than does not follow that the not worth buying at any to the date when she are at a definite understanding e St. Petersburg Government, nce was entirely 'isolated. She as literally at the mercy of the riple Alliance. It was notorious at, soon after signing the Treaty Frankfort, aad while the relative- , pacific Emperor William I. was -alive, the military party at Ber- lin had desired to attack France once more, for the ,purpose of redec- Ning her to impotence, and no one could forsee when that party might ()Italie ascendancy under the young o.nd adventurous William II.

Or. Neill spelit bustrteee that bed beea built up at e. great Cost by oth- ers. A firm of emists hit upon the idea of enclosiag afisty-tasting, but uecessary medicines in gelatine gape Wee. whereby it, was easy for the uost fastidious or weekly persona to take Welt paysic stud.xetain it. Mode Mile is generally nasty, So it Was 110 wonner that the idea caught an. For about ten yeers the trade flourished, aud then Crearn took advantage of the capsules to au soloe with strych- Ida° and present there to several of his ledy friends; when this Wholesale poisoning became know, the Fele dropped to nothing, as people .would. not look at the capsulesto say no- thiug of taking them. A like instance oceurred more re- cently in New York, where poison was sent to a woman In partieular make .of headache powder. There was no connection whatever between the i•ugrediente• of which the headaehe remedy was eomposed and the poison, sent by post in um or the powders; the remedy Was absolutely harmiesa, yet. the sale went down to vanishing point and the RUSINESS WAS ITCINED. In the year 1690, a, murderous af- fray took place In the North-east of London, in which Sergeant Hargett shot two ruffians in defending the land, lady of a public house, The crimin- al element of the neighborhood had its revenge„ Twice in one week the place was burgled, money being tak- en arid much damage done to the in- terior: reepeetable Customers were threatened with violence if they pat- ronized the house, and the pear WO - Van was ultimately compelled to give up the place, ruined. It was exactly four months after marriage with the Prince Consort that Queen Victoria was fired at by a. young fellow, named lward Ox- ford, as she was driving up Consti- tution Dill. That raseally attempt on the Queen had disastrous cense- mamas- for a mita who VMS entiaely innocent. This was Oxford's em- ployer, a publican; the indignant but unreasoning mob attacked bis prem- ises, and Afterwards his former pat- rons testified their abliorrehce orthe deed by refusing to deal with the POOr publiean. whose business was ruined. That was a case of very hard luck., but enfortunately not the only one of a similar nature. Five years previously, in 1885, Pieschl distharged an infernal ma- chine of twenty-five barrels at Louis Philippe of France from a, window over n. large millinery establishment in Paris. The same result was noted in this instance; the elderly lady who had Only just purchased the business at n. high price, saw it ruined by an net for whicb she was in no way re- sponsible and she committed suicide. THE SALE OF HUMAN DOMES. to surgeons for dissecting purposes was aot a nice kind of niusiness, but it was regarded as a necessary and harmless one till 1829, when a dis- closure was made which fined' Great Britain with horror, caused e. revul- sion of feeling that put an end to the sale and introduced the word nburk- ing" into our language. It occurred to one, Burke, that an easy way to make money was to provide bodies for the surgeon, and he proceeded to make corpses with the aid of Hare. His method was to stifle persons by some sort of pressure, so that the bodies showed no mark of violence. That trade ruined a. legitimate, if gruesome, trade.' , It is now thirty years since the murder of a woman at Maitre creat- ed a dreat sensation all over Eng- land. A printer was accused of the crime and acquitted, but the suspi- cion was very prejudicial to his. trade, which, howevea, survived the blow instead of going under entirely, as so many. have. What happened in a baker's shop in London aliout three year's ago wil be fresh to most of us.. A jour- neyman baker, having lost his situa- tion, brooded over what he considma en to be his "wrongs" till he be- earee mentally deranged. He ob- tained shelter for the night in the bakehouse,- under some pretence, and then murdered a, young German who had 'been engaged in his situation. He nearly killed the proprietor in the same manner -namely, by the horrible 'method of baking him! Peo- ple would on no item:runt buy their bread from that slop, and the prem- ises had to be caned. Poison in special makes of pickles and chocolate creams are two further, instances of trades being leaned by crimes committed by ()theta than the makers; one was at Liverpool and the other at Brighton.

Go through the same field this year, and you will find it has been grow- ing barley, oats or perhaps clover. 'Why is this ? It is because fields get tired of growing the same Sort of eereal near after year. Paint a aeld with wheat one year, and it takes to the busi- ness with enthusiasm, but put wheat there again the following year, and it takes no interest at all in grow- ing it. But if you substitute bar- ley, oats, clover, Or turnips, it knuckles down to the work readily, and turns out R. decent cron. A field can't stand sameuess. Thus it is tbat farmers never plant the eame crop in ahe same figiela In. con- secutive yefos, preferring to Put each field through the whole eourse of cereal growing, before repeatiog any particular growth,. If there is one crop which sickens a field sooner than an,y other it is clover. Fields simply hate eleven and, after a year of it, they get what is milled "clover sick," a ease whin upsets them for preetieal work for a long time. Fields whieh are suffering severely from the corn - plaint are sometimes given a rest for a season. Thm it is that you often wello over an tumultivated field duri»g• the SURITOOT. Whieh is probably "elover sick," and erdered oomplete rest. At most farms, eneh field is known by soma name. A newly -married farmer's wtfe suffered great qualms an hearing her husleatel frequently speak of going over to see how "Ella Afaor" was getting on. She said nothing about it for Fame time. till one day she said she would like to go with him to see the mete- terious person. The farluer. with an inward while. said he woulki be pleas - d to take her, and tier surprise was great when he pointed aver a gate. and introduced her to a turnip field, wbich had been kVA:Mit by that name for generations. RHEUMATIC PAINS. CAUSED BY AN 1117171tE CON- DITION OF THE BLOOD. ••••••••••••• 11 Neglected They Will Grow Worse and Serious Trouble Will Fol- low -Rheumatism Can be Per- manently Cured. From the Telegraph, Quebec. , Rheumatism, is one of the most counuon and at the Sallie tittle ono of the most painful affections Irma which humanity suffer. It affects the joints and eatiSeles, and is character- ized, even, in its simplest, form, by a dull constant pain. While it remains In the joints and muscles, it is suf- ficiently painful and distressing, but as it is liable to attack, the vital or- gans, such as the heart, the disease becomes a source of dealgen, and in many instances it bas, proved fatal. Dr. Willituns' Pink Pills possess qualities for the cure of this disease which aro unequalled by any other medicine. Mr. Cyrus Lamond, a well known resident of Stadacone, Que., bears testimony to the Wooderful curative powers of these pills. To a reporter of the Telegraph, he gave the following story: -"Until some three years ago I always en- joyed the best of health, but about that time I was attacked with what proved from the outset to be a se- vere case of rheumatism, from which I suffered great torture. I tried a nuinber of the supposed cures for this disease, but none of them benefited rne. I seemed to be constantly grow- ing worse, so I called in a, physician, but as his tree, ment did not give me relief, I sou ht the assistance of two other doct rs, but they also failed to help ,ime. My appetite left me; ray strength gradually ebbed away; one of illy legs was clrawn out of Shape, and I was never free front pain. I was:in despaireof ever being well again,, 'When one day a relative brought me' a box of Dr: Williams' Pink Pills, and urged 'me to take them. Herseemed to have such great confidence in the pills that I deter- mined to follow his advice. To -day I am happy that I did so, for with the use ofeless than a. dozen boxes of thesenills the pain from which 1 suf- ferecaso much is all gone, and I feel stranger and healthier than 1 did be- fore This 1 owe to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I would strongly 'urge similar sufferers to give them a trial." Experience has proved Dr. Wil- liams' Plat: Pills to,ta without an equal as ablood builder and '.nerve restorer. It is this power- of acting directly on the blood and nehves that enables these pills to cure such dis- eases as rbetunatietn, sciatica, neu- ralgia, iocernotor ataxia, paralysis, andall the ordinary diseases of•the blood and nerves. These pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or can be had by mail, postpaid, at 50e a box, or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. • . - _____4.

Ile averred that his Oman of these tinen-pests aneaulited to a positiv(amonomeala, and that he would rather abandon the most brilliant prospects than rage the insects tim question. Absurd as the foregoing ease may appear it is no More ludicrous than the ease el a young governess who actually refused a 'very excellent sit- uation in the family 'el a nobleman simply because her Radical views would not allow her t accept in- crement from a hereditary landierd. One wouki have thought that her politieel views might bave been sus- taiued without inhiry whilst teach - hag little eliildren to read aud write, but evidently the lady thought oth- erwise, and the brilliant oder was unliesitatiegly decliued. Another young Woman of eccentrie views refused to accept a remunera- tive berth aseprivate secretary to a well-known public znan because the gentleman in question possessed red liair. She declared that her aversion to persona thus adorned was too great to, be overe.ome, and that, no- thing but starvation would compel her to undertake work which would bring her in_eorttaet with a roan of fiery locks. Perhaps ammo other rea- son underlay her ridiculous below - for, but, at nay rate, the motive, mimed was put forward apparently with every sign of veradousness. ONLY THE OTHER DAY a young librarian refused a very ex- cellent post at a. certain public li- brary on acetmet of the fact that the institution in question contained, the works of an author to whom he had ft very strong objection on prin- ciple. Perhaps some persons would admire this Quixotic behavior, but the alisurdity of it must be obvious to all who reflect that his accept- ance or refusal would. mit affect the issue of the books concerned. Rather foolish also was the con- duct of a middle-aged Prencanian who some years ago declined a very remunerative poeitioa ineletnalerman firm in London because IR his ennii- ty to the nation to which the part- ners belonged. He stated tbat to accept payment from the lormer en- emies of his country would be un- patriotic and improper, and he ad- hered to this queer line of thought with steadrast persistence. When one conies to consider how rare good situations are in these times the conduct of this gentleman appears all the more absurd. rerhaps, however, the xoost extra- ordinary reason on record for de- clining a brilliant offer was that put forward by a. young lady who had been wooed by a very wealthy and altogether attractive suitor rejoicing in the somewhat inelegant name of Pigge. She stated that she liked the gentleman very well indeed, but that she could not accept his propos- of marriage nines& lie changed his name. The suitor naturally declined to do anything or the sort, where- upon he was at once dismissed, and the foolish girl lost an excellent and wealthy husband by reason of her foolish prejticlice.

Her Majesty was not al- lowed -to share dinner with the elder members of the Royal household, but was permitted to make her appear- ance at dessert and place herself be- side some paatitular favorite.- One day she sat by a courtly old general, and after eating some fruit the lit- tle girl turned and gazed up at him. Presently she exclaimed :-"I won- der you're not afraid to sit ne;ct, to me." Everybody in the room turned at the sound of her childish treble. "On the contrary, I am but too pleased and honored to sit next to my future Queen," repliedtheold general"; 'But why should I be afraid ?"

It sometimes happens, not always, that nailk will turn emir during a thunderstorot. it is not always the lightning that causes it, for the ilea before the storm is often great en- ough to make the milk ferMent. But ligatuing can, and sanietienes does, make milk tem sour by its action on the air. Air, as every- body knows, is composed of two gases -oxygen and nitrogen; but these gases are mixed together, not combined, Lightuing, however, makes the gases combine in the air through arbich it passes, and this combination produces nttrie acid, some of whieb mixes with the mint and turns it sour. Perhaps it might be well to ex- plain the chemical difference between mixing and combining. When nit- ferent ingredients are put together without their undergoing any chem- ical change they are mixed; asfor example, grains of sand of various colors army be mixed in a bottle. But when the property of each in- gredient is altered by the untie% there is a, combination ; as, for en - ample, water peered on quicklime, whieh eonabines with it, $o that the property of each is altered, Thus it is that lightning makes the oxygen and nitrogen of the air combine, and the reastlt is ao longer air but aitrie acid aad four other nitrous paeans.

In Year 1800, £15,000,000; In Year 1900, £100,000,000. The century that has just expired has been n. notable one la many re- spects. Two great factors,- however, stand out in bold relief -the advance of science and the growth of the British Empire. Taking as the basis of our comparison the population. of the United Kingdomat the two dat- es, one linds an increase of about two hundred and fifty per cont. In the case of a nation whose char- acter and policy were already clearly outlined by the end of the thirteenth century -for we may take Edward L to be our first typical English King -this is a sufficiently remarkable de- velopment for a single century. The causes of this increase are, no doubt, largely clue to the territorial growth of the British Empire, and to the position assumed .by England during the nineteenth century as the work- shop of the world. The fact that the nineteenth century. was, as it has been picturesquely designated, the ago of Tubal Cainnaturally tended to make tbe worlds workshop a cen- •tre of business and wealth, and, con- sequently, of population. With such a remarkable increase in population as the century has showa, one might not unnaturalleaexpect a considerable increase in military power.
