Upon the working classes the war is producing effects not less marked than upon the "intellectuals." At first, inâ€" aulk in dk uo ks Ne 5 _ Even the ‘railways owe their existâ€" [onco to the same events. _ Toâ€"day a similar change of feeling is taking place. Before the war the great maâ€" jority of educated Russians _ justified the reactionary ~methods of the Govâ€" ernment under Alexander ~III. and Nicholas II. ~primarily on military grounds. _ But now that the war has disclosed the utter rottenness of every department of the public service, and has shown that even the great Rusâ€" sian army and navy are not capable of coping with those of a despised Oriental race, the old question of 1856 has cropped up once more. Hence the oppression was borne unâ€" complainingly. But when the Crimean war opened people‘s eyes to the fact that the much vaunted military power of the empire was a delusion, the deâ€" mand for reforms became imperative, The reforms of Alexander II. were the outcome of the disasters of the Criâ€" mean war, because the former regime had become impossible. ‘ _ The present situation in Russia bears considerable resemblance to the state of affairs at the time of and after the Criâ€" mean war. Before that event, under the ivron rule of the Czar Nicholas I., Russia had been enduring for a long period the regime of strong reaction which followed on the milder rule of Alexander I. But, although every one felt the weight of police goverrment and groaned under it, there was & universal feeling that by that means alone could the overwhelmâ€" ing and invincible military power of Russia be maintained. ‘ These ideas are still more strongly expressed in private conversation, and it is not uncommon to find people seâ€" cretly exulting over defeats, as being more likely to bring about internal changes, There is no trace of proâ€"Japanese feelâ€" ing in Russia, but they realize that the country‘s great need is for internal reâ€" form from top to bottom, and that deâ€" feats in the field will bring this fact home to the Government. The objects which the war is to achieve are regarded as of no importance. Even the press has echoed these sentiments, and has sometimes dared to say things which in other cireumstance would have met with severe punishment, ‘ ’ in Moscow, where> the commercial world is more influential, one hears a very different story.â€" As a general rule ‘the war is spoken of as a misforâ€" ’tune, like the plague or a famine, and as likely to go on until it pleases God _or the Government to stop it. The more thoughtful regard it, and the policy which led up to it, as a mistake from the beginning, while some go so far as to wish that Russia may be deâ€" feated as quickly as possible, so that she may at last obtain real reforms. It is extraordinary, indeed, how openly‘ some people express themselves on the subject, even people of wealth and position. They canmot be compared to the British proâ€"Boers during the South African war, for their views are neither based on false sentiment nor on a morâ€" bid lov for their country‘s enemies. y mAH D%.

It is said that parts of t&e Holderness coast, in Yorkshire, beâ€" tween Bridlington and Spurn, are being swallowed up by the sea in exceptional years by as much as twenty feet a year. The extent of the ravages of the sea, says the London Express, may be judged by the fact that the continuous cliff road which formerly went round this portion of the isle has been cut and now leads straight over the cliff into the sea, Freshwater Bay, in the Isle of Wight, is a case in point. Here there is great danger that Freshwater and Totland will be entirely cut off from the rest of the Isle of Wight, and a cireumstance makâ€" ing the matter exceptionally serious is that on the portion which would be isoâ€" lated are all the fortifications of the western part of the isle, including the Needless Fort, with its powerful ordâ€" nance. It is no longer safe to build near the coast line in many cases, so persistent is the encroachment of the waters. The alarming extent to which the sea is diminishing the area of the British Isles is hardly realized. An immense _ amount â€" of forbidden literature began to be _ distributed broadcast. _ Revolutionary _ proclamaâ€" tions were printed on paper similar to 'that of the war telegrams (which take the place of extra special oditions of _evening papers), and distributed among the workmen as they come out of the factories. _ These documents, although often of a Socialist tinge, consist chiefâ€" ly in attacks on the Government for exploiting and oppressing the people, Incidentally, allusion may be made to the tyranny of capital, and to the fact that it is supported by the Governâ€" ment, and in some cases there are direct attacks on the war, But the main argument is always the iniquity of the internal policy of the authorities. â€"London Times correspondence. It is, of course, in the mobilized disâ€" tricts that the working classes, both agricultural â€" and industrial, feel the pinch most keenly. , The outbreak of the war produced a very general reâ€" crudescence _ of â€" revolutionary propaâ€" ganda, of which the chief emissaries were the university students, as is genâ€" erally the case in Russia. On one thing all the more intelligent people are thoroughly convinced, and that is that the official news and that published by the.local newspapers is absolutely unreliable. They will add up the totals of Japanese Josses, on which subject the Russian press is so liberal, and on realizing the wonderâ€" ful results obtained, ask themselves how it is that there are any Japanese left. _ An Englishman who has been many years in Russia told me that he. was often requested by workingmen to tell them what news of the war the Times contained, as they believed that it spoke the truth. They read ~the paper with buy the telegrams which are the streets, and discuss the situation. ence. But in the more industrial disâ€" tricts like Moscow the working classes as well as the educated upper and midâ€" dle classes, are beginning to realize what the war really is.

It is accompanied by sneezing, difficult breathing and watery discharge fiom the nostrils, and is apt to develop into roup.

Chickens that have had their vitality sapped by verâ€" min fall an.easy prevy to diseases like catarrh and roup.

Leg Weakness.â€"Leg _ weakness is found among chicks that are housed in badly constructed brooders, overfed with unsuitable food, or not allowed suffiâ€" cient exercise on an earth floor. Chicks that are affected should be placed on ground that is covered with chaff, and animal food and small grains made the principal part of their ration. &" PC ETOSHre ". Chickens contract the disease when alâ€" lowed to run on ground which has been infested with the gapeworm; the worms are conveyed from omre bird to another through the medium of food and drink. When the worms have been destroyed by fumigation, it is advisable to remove the chickens to dry, uncontaminated ground, or if this is impossible, to plough or dig up the earth about the pens and to scatter airâ€"slacked lime around. The discease is rarely grosvnt among chickâ€" ens that are reared on wellâ€"drained soil, and away from the dampness about the farm buildings. » Instead of using sulphur, the inside of the barrel may be painted with a mixâ€" ture of coal tar and coal oil, of the same consistency as paint. The chickens should be watched: while under treatment, and removed as soon as they show signs of being overcome by the fumes. Three treatments usually suffice; they â€" are given night and morning. The worms are killed, lose their hold upon the inâ€" ternal surface of the windpipe, and the chickens cough them up. re! may be covered with an old sack, and a plate of burning sulphur placed on the ground inside the barrel. _ â€" °C worms may be removed by the fumes of sulphur or coal tar, or by dropâ€" ping one or two drops of spirits of turâ€" pentine or salicylate of soda into the windpipe. _A fumigator can be made from an old barrel.
