Knowledge like re- ligion must be experienced before one can possess it, and if it is not guided by grace it is sald to be folly.

Man has so ably per- sisteq in error that there seems to be nothing new under the sun in the way of sinning that he can concelve of. All the present horrors of war are older than the Egyptian pyramids, and they long ago ceased to thrill man except when the other tribes are indulging in them. We have become accustomed to the reason the community should look at home and weep. And Carlyle has registered that the worst of sins is to think you are not a sin- mer.

I suppose a doctor could eay something nice about it, but I do not know how. It does no good to fret about insomnia any more than it does good for & although most people regard it as a serous affliction. I question whether soothing eyrup will be of ln{ use. The est way out of insomnia is to think of nothing as if it were something and you will soon become accustomed to think of something as if it were noth- ing, and then I think you will be cured.

From this northeastern corn et of Russlan Poland, the forces of the Tsar smashed their way deep in- to BEast Prussis, and they were thrown back this way by the -re- entos upon their fort- trolenks. The ground in the north of the government has been fought over & fnumber of times, and just recent- ly héve the Germans swept over the the de- interesting _battle mpflm has been prepared by National Geographic society. It is as follows: “The government of Lomzha is one of the dreariest regio: ussian Bee-keeping is also profitable part of Lomzha “The country in the ernment is mostly flat, monotonous, or siightly _undilating, except in stretches in the north and southwest.

Along much of its course, the river's banks are very dif- ficult, and the country beside for long stretches 18 heavily wooded. Kx- tremely bad roads, and lake, pond and marsh by the way add to labors of military advances here. “This river forms one of the strong- est lines of defense in the west of the Russian empire. A network of feed- ing rallways are laid to pour men and munitions into any sector of this line from any interior point in the empire. From Petrograd to Od converge upon the River Bug. Fu thermore, the river line is paralieled along its entire Russian Poland course iust as Germany's eastern frontier s paralleled—by a railroad, passing from the fortress in the nort!

Another branch of this rallway runs from Brest Lit- ovsk close beside the river, finally crossing the Bug and terminating at Kholm. “The Bug rises in Galicla, about 50 miles east of Lemberg; flows west to Kamionka Busk, about 28 miles east- northeast of Lemberg, and then turns north-northwest to the Russian bor- der. In Russia. for a great part of its course, it flows north along the eastern borders of Poland. Northeast of Warsaw, it leaves the Polish border, turns west, and joins the Vistula river, 25 miles northwest of Warsaw, at u;: — powerful fortress of Novo Geo: To its junction with the Vistula, Bug travels 450 miles, more than 300 thiles of which are navigable. From Brest Litovsk, it is navigable® for larger river boats, while above the fortress it is navigated by barges and ts. “In peace times, a considerable traf- fic is carried on upon the It is a very important factor in the Rus- sian lumber trade, great rafts of logs being floated down its courss from the rich forests that line its upper reaches.
