The exporters of Sebastopol have been notified that two-thirds of the winter crops in tese Governments of Kursk and Kharkov have been spoiled by the frost, The man en stilts, Demon, who set out to walk from Paris to Moscow, reached the R110815.11 town on the 1 Oth of May, and was received with enthusiasm. A traveller has backed himself to drive from Marseilles to Paris iu thirty days in a carriage drawn by four gazelles. The Assembly of Nobles of the Govern. ment of Astrakhan h .70 decided to edvocate before the Government that lands be granted to the iinpoverished nobility of their territote ies. There are 400 families of nobles in that Government, and only thirty-six of them are able to be aotive members of the Assembly ; the majority cannot join on moment of thew poverty. The Russian imperial Cabinet has approv. ed a plan to establish colonies of convicts sentenced to hard Moe on the Russian islands of the Caspian Sea. To such colonies sonviets will be sent from the natives of the :Isocasus, the trans•Cascian districts, and eutkestan who coffld not stand the severe stellate of Siberia or of the island of Sagha. een. The Russian Ministry of justice has framed new laws concerning the repetition of crimes and " cumulative offences," and submitted them to the imperial Cabinet for approval. According 10 them: laws a mem. inal who has served his term i11 prition or has been pardoned by the Czar, is rehabili- tated perfectly, and if he commits a new crime his punishment is not to be more severe than i1 would be for the first crime, If, however, he commits again the same crime fer which he has been condemned, his punishment is to be Macleod in aura. tem. but not in teiveritv.

For every year seeh convicts are employed on the road they will be credited with eighteen months of the term they have to serve. Since the Crimean and Caueasian 1 orts were opened, large parties of laborers and materials for the new road are sent to Siberia by Government and hir- ed steamers. The Russian Government has appropriated $1,000,000 to the conetructiou ot a simmer, eiel harbor at Theodosia, which will here- after be the port of the Crimea for merchant- men. Sebastopol will be tranefortned into a military and neval seronghold. Two other steps of Russia eastward are plans for a great highway from the Caspian Sea to Teheran and for a limited eirefflation of Persian silver in the empire. War Minister de Freyeinet has given the chief of France's great general staff the finemoial means necessary to znove by rail two ermy corps 1st the next nueneuvres. The Eastern end the Lyons Railway will be used for this experimeue. Such pructice in the strategical utilization of railways the Brho de Parin says, has become imperatively necessary in consequence of Germany's un- remitting efforts to spread the network of her railweys. The great fall man atuvres of the Gunton Army this year will be concluded on Sept. 21, so that the Emcee(); maybe on hie hunt- ing grounds M Sweden, on Sept. 23. The manteucres of the Twelfth Corps (of Saxony) will take place first; then those of the Bavarian Corps, end finally those of the Eleventh and Fourth Corps. The Eleventh Corps will be reviewed by the Emperor near Cassel, and the Fourth Corps near Erfurt. The menreuvres of both will be hold between Cassel and Edurt immediately after the parades.

Three hundred timbers tvere unloaded from the Anchor Line etearn- er &India, which arrived here last week, as well. as the necessary gear for raising the sunken vessel. The seherne for raising the Utopia is apparently simple and ingenious. The timbers, which are shaped and number- ed, ere being added on to the top of the sides of the steamer up to above the surface of the wider. The rents made by the ram of the Anson are being stopped. In this way the Utopia, having been made watertight, will be pumped out, and it is confidently hoped may thenbe floated without difficulty.

Many of the changes which telt° plasm in cheesesnaking, in ripening curd, in getting the proper flavor in butter, heve long been shrouded 1n mystery, and 11 10 only lately in the ease of emit° that we have arrived at " bottom facts," while 500 1)15 still groping In the ilark after others, which, however, we are within measurable dietetic° of :pestering also, When 11110 happy time arrives the production of the best material in the dairy will bo an exact soignee which any one cett practice without failing.

Herein lies a hint for cheesemakers who are net stmeessful in producing, the flavor or moldinese they would like in their cheese.

The proper melting of curd is like cultivating anti metering the soil—a crop cannot grew until the proper seed 18 505011, and if that is not forthcoming, inferior growths take its place and spoil everything. It does not fd- low, of =wee, that the introduction of desirable germs in or dairy will of Itself re - suit in producing desirable cheese, for the soil must he prepared for the reception of the seed, i. e„ the curd must be properly made. Yet another point regarding those germs comes up for notice, and in this ease with regard to buttee.

A French (awe reckons that between 1880 and 181)0 Germany trained 1,042,000 men, while Franco trained but 1,1211,000. In the pecteeding decade each country educated the same number of soldiers, so that Gee- many's numerical advautage for the last. twenty years is 51 9,000. French officers favors a new recruiting law so that France, like Germany, inay take in training annual- ly 1 00,000 men instead of 114,000, as in the last few years. Prince Mestcherskiy of the Ora:hdanin of St. Petersburg is the most surprising of all the editors of Ms city. Having vented his wrath on the popular edueatiou of the time and prayed to heaven that Russia might ever stand the lowest in s11 the aspects of Populer education " he launched Ins sharp peu egainst the marmot's of the time in general and the ladies in particular.

No, Merwin, writing in the May Atlanta on the'' Ethics of Horse Keeping," claim that in order to bring out the best power of a horse the breaker or trainer must have gentleness and patience, and above all a sympathetic understanding with the animal he handles. Ho believes that; it is because Americantrainershave exercised these quali- ties in a superior degree that American trotters eclipse all others in the matter of speed. He says : " To create the trotter, increasing his speed, within seventy-five years, from a mile in 2,40 to (6111110 in 2.08e was perhaps an even greater achievement than the development of the modern thor- oughbred in the one hundred and fifty years that have elapsed since the importation to England of the Godolphin Arabian." Of the utility of the achievement Mr. Merwin is not eo fully convinced, but be says " whatever we may think of the result, whether or not we hold that a 2.08 horse is greatly better than a2.40 horse, the value of the process by which this result was reached can hardly be exaggertstorl. The trainers of the Atnerican trotter have taught the world the best lesson that it has ever received in the ethics of horse.keeping." And that lesson is, lre gentle, be patient if you would learn the capabilities of your beast. Por Neuralgia.
