THE MACEDONIAN REVOLT. Reasons Why the Christians Ilo .ot Beat the Muhommedans. London Spectator. Perhaps the greatest perplexity in the politics of the Balkans is a certain weakness in the Christian population. Why do not the insurgents beat the Turks? They are more numerous, they have the strongest motives for righting that men can have, they have a most defensible country, and most of them in Macedonia are of the same race as their oppressors. Yet we all know, or at least believe, that If the great powers do not Intervene the appraaaori will conquer the insurgents, perhaps extirpate them, certainly drive them back into their slavery. Why? The west usually answers that question in one of two ways by declaring that the Turks arc far braver soldiers, or by abusing the Balkan peoples for their hatred of one another; but neither reply is quite conclusive. The latter, indeed, is a little ridiculous. Those who urge it. as the Times, for example, frequently does, always nay that Greeks uiid P.ulgarians I; it' a h other, that there are differences of race and creed in the southern portion of the peninsula which make cohesion impossible, and that a "general " insurrection is really only an Insurrection of some division of the people. They cannot be independent for they cannot be united, and taprefore cannot frame an effective government. And then they add that whenever a Turkish governor general is a reasonable and capable man order is at once restored, and the jarring tribes and congregations cease to clash and become a people. Will any ono explain why, if a Turkish governor general can weld his subjects together so perfectly and easily, a European prince must fall in performing the same feat? He is distinctly nearer to the people than the Turk, he works through wiser methods, and he has a greater personal interest In succeeding, that is, in building up a strong little kingdom which he can transmit to his descendants. Why is it always assumed that he must fail, when In Roumania, Servia, Bosnia and Bulgaria he lias more or leas succeeded? As for the comparative courage, the Turks are no doubt brave soldiers, but their qualities have always been better developed In the men than in the officers: the Poles, who are Slavs, often defeated them, and so did the Germans, and the Bulgarians are perfectly ready to face them In the field. They themselves acknowledge that the Albanians, who are by race Europeans, are braver than themselves, and they have never been able to conquer the Montenegrins, who are Christians, and on the whole, till very recently, less well ormed. We can see no clear reason for believing that if the Macedonians, in despair of any other redress, rise universally in all their villages and mountains to tight as men in despair usually do fight, they must Inevitably be defeated.

It is cheering for the housekeeper to know, in these days when the grocer and the butcher show no mercy, that there is still one cheap edible which the experts elass as a nearly perfect food. That's rice, aud the world is idebted to the Rev. H. S. Clubb, of the Philadelphia Vegetarian Society, for turning public attention to it. The Rev. Mr. Clubb. worklug in conjunction with the Agricultural Department at Washington, discovers that the Japanese army outfooted the armies of Russia, England. Germany. France and America in the advance on Peking. The Japanese soldier can double quick for fourteen hours without stopping and do it again the next day. He may be shot straight through the body aud hardly kuow anything hit him. Cause why? Cause he eats rice. So if any one has an unconquerable ambition to outfoot the armiea of the world to double quick for fourteen hours without a break or to be shot through the body without knowing he's touched, all he has to do is to save his money and live on rice. But one cloud overcasts the horison of hope. We suspect that even now some greedy band of capitalists is organizing a rice trust. Letter farriers Consider Reports. SVRACCSK. N. Y.. Sept. 2.
