(BY OCTAVIUS C. BEALE.) MANUFACTURER VERSUS GRAND DUKE,
One of the richest industriale of Russia is the multi-millionaire Morosoff, of Moscow, so says "Der Vorworts," who, in his factories in that city alone, employs more than 35,000 work people. One day M. Morosaff deemed it his duty to do something for the fighting soldiers in the Far East, and ordered for thom 25,000 fur coals as a gift. Morosoff is, however, a Russian,
and as such knows full well that not all gifts
for the warriors reach Eastern Asia, but often, indeed, never get beyond the prople who are west of the Urals. Therefore, in order to be sure of his steps, he entrusted his gift to the WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION

This effective quite a stately little fortune. But a short time remedy is palatable as honey and contains all clapsed, however, before Morosoll was informed the nutritive and curative properties of Pure that fur coats of the same pattern as those be Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod had contributed were being offered for sale in livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of amazingly large numbers in the secondhand Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and market of Moscow, and upon the heels Wild Cherry. It quickly eradicates the of this news like information poured in poisonous, disease-breeding acids and other from other great citica of Holy Russia.

Yet he probes the mat infallible in Prostration-following Fevers, ter to the bottom, and unearths the astound-

For days together the poor animals re- mained, starving in wind and weather, shiver- ing and freeing in the open, whit the officials who had them in charge sold in the very place itself the oats and bay latended for the horses, and squandered the money upon loose women. The horses tore ip their hunger the wooden beams to which they were fastened. Thirty of them died on the spot, and the rest were sent in a sick condition to the rail for transport Can it be wondered at that so many horses perish in the long journey, or a completely useless when they arrive ? *
Another example is given in relation to the warm boots for the army. The peasants offered to supply, the Government at cost price with felt boots made out of sheep's wool. They were even willing to present them to the Govern meat, which offer was declined, or to deliver them at the price of the wool alone. Such boots will last for two years, and probably the requisite number would have bees immediate- by supplied. But that did not suit the book of she officials of the commissariat. The "Russky Viedomosty publishes the following news from Kineshma :-
"In this district the preparation of bad felt boots has been carried on for some time, for, instead of being made of sheep's wool, they are made of horse and cow hair, mixed with paste. If struck against hard objects they break at ouce into pieces. The makers of these boots themselves admit that such articles in Fussia last from two to three weeks, in Manchuria hardly as many days.

"At your service, sir," replies Moro soff, "but may I ask permission to telephone to my business manager some directions for the time of my absence?" Even a Russian chief of police has, of course, nothing against that. So Morosolf steps to the telephone, and calls to his manager, "I order all my factories to be immediately closed, and the whole of the work people in be discharged. Should the laller desire to know the reason of their sud den dismissal, M. Trepoff will willingly in- form them." So Morosoff spake, and turned to the chief with the words: "I stand at your disposition."

And where Russian honour is being fought for, Russian dishonour is rampant. One reads of the many patriotic funds, of the many millions of roubles that the Russian people have trustingly devot ed to the succour of their countrymen at the front, and suddenly, says the St. Petersburg correspondent of the "Berlines Tageblatt," a letter surprises us which was written by suldier to a colonel who had remained behind A passage runs-"You have heard of the many funds spent for the soldiers.

The "Novoe Vremya" prints a letter from a battery commander, who writes as follows from the seat of war:-"To fight against the various rascalities is almost impossible.

driving in a buggy in Elizabeth-street, when an accident occurred, and Mrs. Robins was thrown upon her head. She was treated at home, but became worse, and poison having been found in the house, her medical attendant sent her to the Melbourne Hospital, where she died. Subsequent examinations showed conclusively that she had been slowly and systematically poisoned, and that her death was due to mer. curial poisoning,
Suspicion rested upon her daughter Rosina, who was tried and acquitted by the jury. It was felt that the matter should not rest here, and at the meeting of the meeting of the Cabinet on Monday last, it was decided to ask the Chief Secretary to appoint Detective M'Manamey lo make further inquiries. That officer immedi ately turned his attention to the girl, Rosina. After the trial she had gone to live in a house at Kensington, where here stepfather and ber baby werd la conversation with the defective, she admitted the crime, and said that her step- father was the father of the child. Her mother was aware of what had taken place, and for that reason she was jealous of her mother, She was very fond of her stepfather, and while her mother was at the hospital they shared the same room. Detective McManamey gave her 24 hours lo consider whether she should make a statutory declaration. At 3 p.m. on Wednes
