The ltiisso'Gerninn Boundary Line. There is a very strong contrast between the iipijearance of things on the two tides of tho boundary between Germany and Russia. On the German side the landscape land-scape is dotted with beautiful, cozy homes, with every evidence of prosperity and thrift, with well cultivated fields, vine-clad vine-clad stables, neat looking kine, hedges tastefully trimmed and patches of flowers, flow-ers, while in the towns and villages were handsome railway stations, tempting cafes, largo factories, handsome school-houses, school-houses, and every symbol of a higher civilization and prosperity. On the east Hide of the lino there are none of these, and tho change takes place instantly. Thrift and comfort are replaced by die-trefsand die-trefsand degradation. The Qelds are un-: un-: cultivated, except in patches here aud there sX)ts where it was the easiest to plow the cattle are lean and hungry, the homes of tho people are log or mud huts, and there is not a schoolhouse to be seen from the boundary line to the capital. capi-tal.
