RUSSIAN SOLDIERS.
THEIR LEADING TRAITS.
They Know How to Obey, Llt* Frugally
and Form an Invincible Fighting Ma
chine.
Recently I saw one of the most Im
pressive sights it has ever been my lot
to behold. I was in the town of Sama
ra, on the river Volga, in eastern Rus
sia. I bad Just rung for the samovar
for our breakfast when I heard a sound
outdoors like the tramping of many
feet. I went to the window and looked j
out.
Down the street I saw marching to
ward us the lirst body of Russian sol
diers I had ever seen. At the very
lirst glance they impressed me most
strongly. The tall redcoats of Great
Britain, the crack bersagllerl of Italy.
Germany’s countless troops, prim and
trim to affectation—none of them re
sembled these Russian soldiers. The
Czar’s men had no bright uniforms, no
shining accoutrements, no smart caps
of Jackets. Their clothes were of a
rough brownish cloth. There were no
gilt trimmings, no brass buttons even,
nothing to show a soldier’s uniform ex
cept that tin? clothes were all alike and
trimmed with a little braid. Across
their backs were siting their blankets,
and every other man carried a tin tea
pot.
The Infantry troops of most of the
European countries must wear incus- j
taches, and must be clean-shaven other
wise, but of these Russian soldiers all )
wore beards. It was not the trim,
pointed beard of western Europe, eith
er, but the full, tawny-colored beard
that is so characteristically Russian—
the beard that comes from never shav
ing, that helps to keep a man warm
when the thermometer is thirty degrees
below zero.
Presently I looked around for the
band. There was none. And I saw
why. For in a moment 1 heard tin*
faint notes of a single fife and then
suddenly the whole troop burst into
singing. That was their music. It
made me think of the times when prim
itive peoples went forth to battle sing
ing, and I felt, as I have so often felt
in Russia, that I had been carried bod
ily back hundreds of years in the
world’s history. The song of these
Russian soldiers was timed to tlieir j
march, and like a chant, strong and re- j
sounding, and with risings and fallings I
that gave it a strange force.
No soldiers that I had ever seen had
the look of rugged hardiness and en
durance. of solidity and power, of im
perturbable determination, that these :
men possessed. As they marched by,
keeping step to the time of their war :
song, I began to realize why it was
that nations called Russia the “peace
maker of Europe.” why Germany and
France and Austria vied with one an
other in seeking the favor of tin* great
Slav empire. Russia is composed of
100 nations, from tin; Lapps of north
ernmost Scandinavia to the Persians
of India. In a trip of 500 miles along
the Volga I have passed through the
country of fourteeen different peoples
all Russian.
No victory gained over Russia would
be augflht but a barren one. Was any
victory ever more triumphant than that
over the Russians bp I’apoleon? Yet
did any defeat ever bring more ruin
and destruction in its path than that
self-same victory? And Is there any
nation to-day that would care to under
take the invasion of this empire, now
many times stronger than when the
great Corsican found ruin in its con
quest?
After all, It is the people themselves
that give Russia her great military
strength. About DO per cent, of this
people are mouzliiks (lieasants), who
live a life that would be one of intol
erable hardship to the lowest class of
people in the United States, yet that
to the mouzhlk is one of comfort and
plenty. The Russian peasant—and the
soldiers are simply peasants doing tem
porary military service—lives on tea
and black bread for breakfast, tea and
soup for dinner and tea and black
bread for supper. This is his fare ev
ery day in the week and every week
in the year. And he likes it. His
clothes are the roughest and fewest
lma* limbic. A cotton shirt and trons
“MY WIFE’S LIFE.”
How I was the means
of saving it.
When the lungs are Attacked and the
symptoms of consumption appear, then
begins the struggle between affection and
that destroying disease which slay* its
thousands annually. It is a happy issue
to the struggle when disease is conquered
and health restored. Such au issue does
not always end the struggle, hut it did in
the oase of Mr. K. Morris, Memphis, Tenn.,
who saw his wife wasting and weakening
and physicians helpless, mid then sug
gested the simple remedy that wrought
the cure. He tells tlje story thus :
“Seven years ago, inv wife had a severe
attack of lung trouble which the Phy
sicians pronounced consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe
cially at night, and was frequently
attended with the spittiug of blood. The
doctors being uuahle to help her. I in
duced her to try Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
and was surprised at the great relief it
gave. Before using one whole bottle she
was cured, so that now she is strong and
quite healthy. That this medicine saved
my wife’s life I have not the least doubt.

In the house. Whenever any of ray family

ers, a pnlr of tall boots and a cnp
make his Hummer costume. For winter
he simply puts a long coat of sheep
skins over his cotton clothes, substi
tutes felt boots for his leather ones,
and buries his head in a fur cap. The
Russian soldier lives in content and
Joy on what the English redcoat would
spurn.
But aside from all these considera
tions there is one quality possessed by
that tawny-haired, blond-beard***! troop
I saw nt Samara that would alone
make Russia a dictator. That quality
is obedience. One of the greatest trials
of the commander of American troops
is to teach them implicit obedience.
And that Is more or less true of tin
troops of all civilized powers except
Russia. But there is no more need to
teach the Russian soldier obedience
than there is to teach a duck to swim.
The mouzhlk obeys by instinct. It is
not even second nature to him—it is
first nature. For generations In* has
obeyed. He knows nothing else, he ex
pects nothing els**. In* wants nothing
else.
The mouzhik looks upon his employ
er as Ills master. The owner of a large
manufacturing plant, who employs
many hands in St. Petersburg, told me
that once a Are broke out In Ids build
ings near a large oil tank. An explos
ion was possible at any moment. Yet
his men fought tin- tin* around the tank
as unhesitatingly as H it were their
regular daily work. lie said that If In
had told on** of them to cross a burn
ing plank, tin* man would have crossed
it without hesitation. He might have
gone through ami boon killed, but tluii
was a question for his masters to de
cide—it is none of his business.
Thus it is with the soldiers. Russian
officers can plan ami work with tin*
full consciousness that no matter wind
orders they may give, no matter if tin
execution of a command means the de
struction of every man in tin- army,
those orders will be obeyed absolutely.

B. A O. Improvemcntii Completed.
The improvements on the main line
of the Baltimore and Ohio, west of.
and between Martinsburg, VV. Va., and
North Mountain, were completed No
vember Ist. They cover a distance of
nearly four miles, starting three miles
west of Martinsburg, and extending
some distance west of Myers Hole,
which is near the Nortli Mountain sta
tion. At Myers Hole the line was
changed, taking out some very objec
tionable curvature, and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating
two grades of 42 feet per miles which
came together at Myers Hole, and sub
stituting therefor an almost level
track. This point on the road has
always been a dangerous one and
many freight wrecks have occurred
there. Apart from doing away with
the dangerous feature of two sharp
down grades coming together, as was
the case in this instance, the saving in
operation of the road by the change
will be very large, as It enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased
and reduces the liability to accident to
i the minimum.
At Tablers the road bed has been
lowered about thirteen feet, and the
same nt Tabbs, besides taking out ob
-1 Jectionable curvature and reducing the
! rate of grades at these points from 42
j feet per mile to ten feet per mile, thus
increasing the cars that can be hauled
per train. Though these Improve
ments have cost quite n sum of money,
the expenditure is fully Justified by
the great saving In operation.

The Royal Publishing Company, of
Richmond, Virginia, are offering ex
ceptionally favorable contracts to live
workers. They want men and women

addressed to them may lay before you
a proposition that will be as surprising
as it is gratifying.

promptly cured."—K. Morris, Memphis,
Tenu.
The question : "Is consumption cur*
ble?” is still debated, and still debatable.
It is easy to say that this was not a case ol
consumption. Yet the physicians said it
was. They should know. As a mntter
of fact, Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral has
wrought so many similar cures that it
seems to argue the curablcness of con
sumption, in its earlier stages, by the use
of this remedy. There is no better medi
cine for pulmonary troubles than Dr.
Ayer’s Cherry Tectoral. It gives relief in
cases of Asthina, and Bronchitis, where re
lief has beea heretofore unattainable. It
promptly cures Coughs and Colds, I. a
Grippe, and all affections of the throat
and lungs. Heretofore, Dr. Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral has been put up in full size
bottles only, at fi.oo per bottle. To meet
a world-wiae demand for a smaller pack
age. the remedy is now put up in half size
bottles, at half price—so cents. Write for

HAPPY NEW YEAR
BY FANNY CROSBY
The grand Old Year is dying
His hour has come at last;
His brilliant reign is ended
Its golden days are past.
He shakes the wreath that withered.
Lies cold upon his brow;
His breath is quick and labored,
rlis eyes are closing now.
The grand old year is dying,
He bids the world good night;
A starry veil is lifted
That parts him from our sight.
A sigh of deepest feeling.
\ tear, and then a smile.
For scenes of rarest pleasure
Our lonely hearts beguile.
Behold, the New Year cometh!
His face is young and fair;
The merry bells a:e ringing.
There’s music everywhere.
Oh, happy, happy greeting!
Oh, happy, happy day
That lights our path before us
And laughs our cares away.
MR.BENJAMIN DOTTEN
1 T T L E POLLY
went over to her
grandmother’s to
see Aunt Viny,who
had just come from
Wisconsin.
“Your Aunt Vl
ny’s up-stairs un
pa ck l n g.” said
grandma, “and it’s
cold there. Stay
here till she comes
.ormlMlc for
j
down, iiere are some peppermints for
you.”
Grandma handed Polly a little paper
bag of peppermints. They were good
and strong. Polly liked them.
Ten minutes later in came Polly’s
mother.
“Where's Viny?” she asked, and
then she smelt peppermint. “Polly,
Polly!” she said, 'come right here.
Was that bag full? You’ll be sick !f
you eat another one. Give them to
me!”
“Put them here,” 3aid grandma,
pointing to an old china tea-caddy on
the closet shelf. “That’s where I drop
notions.”
Polly did as grandma said, for some
how she trusted the caddy more than
her mother’s pocket. Then her moth
er carried her off to find Aunt Viny,
and after that they went home.
The caddy was a good place for no
tions. It already held some shoo but
tons, a bad quarter and a recipe for
mangoes; also a little pocketbook con
taining ten cents. That was Ben's. He
hid it there when he was going chest
nutting, because the clasp was broken.
Now Polly’s peppermints went in, and
presently grandma, who had been buy
ing nutmegs, put them all into the
caddy because Viny was talking, and
it confused her.
“Now, mother,” said Viny. “I’ve
come home this winter to help you.
I’m going to regulate the closet so we
shall know where everything is.”
"I know where everything is now,”
said the old lady.
But Viny was already clearing the
shelves and putting on fresh papers.
Then she set things back methodical
ly.
"This old caddy of nutmegs,” she
said, "I’ll put in the other closet where
the eggs are.”
"It’s handy for notions,” said grand
ma.
"Oh, well, this cracked sugar bowl
will answer for notions. I’ll set It
HE MADE HIS BEST BOW TO THE
DEAR OLD L \DY.
where the caddy was, and drop this
lump of alum in it."
So the sugar bowl took the place cf
the caddy, and when Ben looked for
his pocketbook it was not there, so he
thought ho did not r* member right. It
was disappointing, tor he wanted ten
•ems t«> buy a ball. SMI!. :b it did not
xuattei, for next day it was skate
straps he wanted, and the next he had
a chance to buy another boy’s knife.
But he couldn’t find the pocketbook.
Perhaps Polly took cold the day she
went where Aunt Viny was unpacking.
She had a sore throat, and wore flan
nel around her neck for two weeks.
The next time she went to her grand
mother's It was Christmas. There was
roast goose for dinner and all kinds
of pie. Ben was there. He had never
found his ten cents. If he had, he
would perhaps have bought a sugar
dove for Polly.
While the folks sat around the Are
talking, Polly, perched in a tall chair
with nothing to do, had a sudden mem
ory.
She got down, ran to the kitchen
closet, and saw the sugar bowl. It had
buttons and alum and a broken spoo 1
in it, but Polly was not to be imposed
upon.
“Cuddy! caddy! caddy!" 3liw crl'rt
running up and down.
“It's tile old tea-caddy that she
wants,” said grandma.
"That's in the other closet. We keep
nutmegs in It," said Aunt Viny.
“Pep'mints! mine pep'mints!” clam
ored Polly.
The caddy was brought, and sure
enough when sho thrust her little hand
under the nutmegs she found her pep
permints and pulled out the recipe for
mangoes.
"There. Mrs. Gray wanted that!” ex
claimed grandma.
And now Ben was putting his owi
hand in. Yes, there it was! his pock
etbook and his ten cents!
"Well, I declare!” said Aunt Viny.
Ben sat down to consider. It was
now too late for Christmaß, but h*
might do something for New Year’s
Ho had heard Aunt Viny talk about
calls and cards.
Only the day before a hoy who had a
printing press had offered to print
cards, twenty-five for ten ccntß, and
every card was to have a picture of a
flower or a bird upon it.
“I’ll buy cards,” thought Ben, and lie
went at once to find the boy.
On New Year's Day Ben, clean and
shining, called Polly into the par
tor.
“I'm making calls.” he said. “This
is your call. Choose the card you like
best.”
Polly was delighted. She picked out
the prettiest card, with* "Mr. Benja
min Dotten” and a pair of doves upon
it.
Then Ben went forth from neighbo;
to neighbor impartially. He was vert
successful. He met with smiles every
where, and in some places he met with
apples and New Year’s cakes. Every
body seemed glad to receive a card
with "Mr. Benjamin Dotten” upon it,
together with a picture.
When it came to the last he hesi
tated. He was tired and wanted to go
home. It seemed to him he would
rather see his good, kind grandmamma
than anybody else In the world. The
last card had roses upon it.
‘'l’ll call on grandma," he said, and
running home he made his best bow tc
the dear old lady, and handed her his
card.
You never saw any one so pleased.
For more than a week she showed the
card of “Mr. Benjamin Dotten” to
every neighbor that came In, and when
the excitement was entirely over, she
put it away for safe-keeping in the tea
caddy. MARY L. B. BRANCH.

pound, one package of Sanative Wash, one box of
Liver I*lllB, and can say that I am perfectly cured.

in my grave by this time if it had not been for your
medicine. It was a godsend to me. 1 was troubled with
excessive menstruation, which caused womb trouble,
and I was obliged to rctnuin in bed for six weeks. Mrs. (
Pinkham’s medicine was recommended to me, and, i '
after using it u short time, was troubled no more with flooding. I also had severe
pain in my kidneys. This, also. I have no more. I shall always recommend the
Compound, for ithas cured ine. and it will cure others. I would like to have you
publish this letter.” (In such cases the dry form of Compound should ho used.)
