The Fetroleum Trade Revolutionised—A Cotton I telling; Urpon. Till recently Russia has constituted a little world of its own and its immense population lias not disturbed the people living in oilier countries. In seeking to enlargo its borders It has had troubles with other nations, but otherwise it has not crossed their track. It has not been a competitor In the great commercial marts of the world. It lias produced some superior leather and Iron that have been used for certain purposes, but lately It has been held that articles equally good have been made in other countries. It baa exported oonaiderahie wheat, but there has boeo little fear that the amount would be increMed. It has not seriously injured our market for grain and meet, while it lias bought our oxter., tobacco and petroleum. But within the past four year* Russia has revolutionized the petroleum trade of the world. It has established Lues for conveying oil from near the Caspian to the Black sea, and has constructed iron vessels for carrying it in bulk not only to all the leading porta at western Europe, but to Africa, India aad Australia. The Russians were the first to use crude pe troleum for fuel oq locomotive and stationary steam betters, tor making tilu minuting gas ter »"*"g brick and earthenware. Recent English papers Mato that ar rangements have been made Cor bringing troeen beet, pork, mutton and poultry from Russia to British parts during the coming winter, and the belief la expressed that live animals and eggs will soon be brought at all seasons at ths year. If deainhie they can be brought most of the diatanco by rail or sent all the way by water from porta on the Baltic sea. It is now believed that Immense quantities of raised in (Siberia wRl be sent to France aad Germany from the tame porta. Siberia l£ the largest if not the brat groin territory in the world. It is capable of supplying all western Europe with breadatufTs. The central and southern portions of it are well adapted for raising wool. The building of the Transcaspian rail road has opened up one of the finest cot ton raising regions in the world. The ■oil is rich and the climate delightful. Labor there Is cheaper than in Egv|>t or Indio. One-half the cotton used in Rus sian mills last year was produced In central Asia, and efforts will bo made to produce the entire amount needl'd within the next four years. At the end of that time Russia expects to export raw cotton. The profits of raising it In a region where plowing tnay be done during most of the year and where no fertilizers are re quired are enormous. With cars and steamers run hy [tetr oleum cotton raised In central Asia may within five years be laid down In Liverpool to compete with that produced in the United States. The region traversed by this same sys tem of railroads is also said to be won derfully adapted to the production of fine wool and tolnooo. For centuries large flocks of 6heep and goats hare been kept there and have boen the chief sources of wealth. With good facilities for trans porting their fleeces it 1s likely tluit these flocks will be largely increased. Some state that the tobacco raised in central Asia is superior to that produced in Turkey, which is preferred for making cigarettes and smoking in pipes.—Chi cago Times. Oi»n of runi|)eii'i Victims. A few days afterwards I returned for another day at Pompeii. The impression was greater Ilian ever before. The city and the hill now came Into relations with one another in a way hitherto unfelt. There was a fearful reality about the harrowing spectacle In the museum near the gate of Pompeii. The slender, grace ful form of that woman who presses her forehead against her arm as she lies face downward and gasps for brepth; the untold agony in the features of the pros trate man, who seems still gasping for life, that last figure in a line of charred human forms which lie before us. as per fect as they were when entombed in the falling ashes—all these speak to us and bring ua terribly lieaf to these men nnd women of centuries ago. Theirs was indeed an awful martyrdom. But the fire, which brought death to Pompeii, bestowed upon it imiftortality. Today Pompeii lives, wliilo thousands of cities yhich have been spared have perished and passed forever.—Flotence Cor. Bos ton Globe. Two desirable residences in I his oit for sale.

The Island of Birds—for such, It hns been conjectured, la the meaning of the word “Foula”—is not so frequently vis ited by tlie tourist as It deserves to l>o.

Tbo oyo of tho otoeervor of the pictur esque, as it glliles along the distant pros pect, Is caught by tbo line bold peaks of Foula, and returns Again and again from its general survey to gaze fondly on that island as tho finest feature of the saarw. Nor Is il only at a distance that it looks grand. The cliffs on the west side, which are beaten by which have rolled with out a check all the way from OrsentandL ore the loftiest In the British Isles. Tba highest hill is the Sneuk, which baa an altitude of over thirteen hundred tael above the sea. Another peak, else set as high, oonfrdnta tho ocean as a stupendous precipice from summit to base. Thaos crags are the hotues of Innumerable see fowl, tho norie or sea parrot and the kittiwako being most abundant. On tho cost side the rooks aro compara tively low, but not uninteresting. On the north there are some remarkable stocks, or isolated rocks, ono of them* being pierced by a lofty Oothio archway, and another surmounted by a ruin. The hollow center of the island affords peat, and tho grassy slopes at tho back of the cliffs afford good pasturage for cattlo and sheep and a number of handsome ponies. The population numbers 270, and, with tlio exception of three families, is engaged in crofting and fishing. The Fouloese are masters of many trades. They make their own turning lathes and spinning wlieels. Some can repair clocks and watches; all can make and oobble shoes. A few aro weavers and tailors, as well ua % dyers. Every man la a mason. The wo men dip, ami, I am afraid, sometimes too or pluck the sheep. They spin the wool and knit excelled stockings end sailors' frocks or jerseys.

Count Ka\noky 1ms been trying the ono linger trick of liis onco too oflen, and has received a lesson which ho will not forget In a hurry. The count liaa a very exalted notion of his own dignity, especially on official occasions, and has a habit of extending only one finger to diplomatists under tlio first rank. At Vienna a few days ago ho met a man, well known in Loudon circles for the facility with which lie turn run through two fortunes, and is now ardontiy angling for a third. Hie count had fra ternized with tills individual on tlie neu tral ground of London drawing rooms and had frequently dined with him. But in Viennese diplomatic circles the count did not consider it necessary to maintain the friendship, and on meet ing his old claim coolly extended tlie stereotyped forefingor. Tho other gazed for a moment tliraugh tlie eyeglass which ho always wears, at tlie rigid digit, and then as coolly advanced liia own forefinger, and with it touched somewhat gingerly that of the count. The latter blushed furiously, and scanned the faces of those around to see if notice had been taken of the greeting. Of courso tliero were smiles, which were checked us soon os possible; but tlie lesson was well merited, and should be takon to heart.—London Modern Society. A 8oath«rn Terrapin Farm.

In these ditches about 30,000 turtles are domesti cated. In winter they lie imbedded in the mud, and aro very convenient creat ures to keep, seeing at this season they never cat any food. Tho turtles cost about $ 1 per season to feed, and sell in New York for $17 per dozen.—Washing ton Post. The Kell Cell. In every military encampment, at i sunrise, a roll of all the names of the ; members of each company is called j by tho orderly sergeant. Beginning with Allen Adairo he goes down the ! list to ZaccheuH ueigler; all present call out ‘here*!’’ and are so entered, i If no response is heard, an Inquiry is: instituted and absent onesare In some j way located, when the orderly ser geant turns and salutes the captain, who is awaiting the result, and re ports “All present or aooonnted for!” In the office of two Philadelphia physloians there is a roll of patients who answer by letter eaoh three weeks to the call of the roll of their names. In the list are hundreds from every State and Territory, beginning1 with Alabama and ending with Wis consin and Wyomtng. These patients reports are very curious In the inlnu- tia of their details. An interesting feature is the emphasis of gratitude expressed for bring ourtd, in many oases the patieDt having only been led to try treatment by these physi cians, after every other resource had proved fruitless.
