Grain Trade of Western Europe.

NJ. Leroy Beaulieu, of Paris, writing
recently of the effect of the Eastern wal
on the grain trade of Western Europe,
says that he does not believe that the
countries of Western Europe will suffer
much on account of the cutting off of the
supply from Russia and the Principali-
ties, if the war remains localized. The
reason is that the imports from the
United States, the countries, bordering
on the Mediterranean, and British India
would fill up the void left by the closing
of the Black sea. The United States
and India could also furnish the oil
seeds hitherto exported from Russia to
Western Europe. M. Beaulieu remarks
that it remains to be seen whether, when
the current of imports shall once have
set in from the United States and India,
Russia will be able after the peace to
bring it back to her southern ports. for
it is frequent il not common result of
great wars to displace the course of trat e
sometimes for long period.

What Il Scribe's Mistake Did.

Count Won Thieleman, who passed
through the Caucasus about two years
ago, states, in his account of his travels,
that he was informed by more than one
Russian official that it was only through
mere slip of the pen that the harbor Of
Batoum remained in the possession Of
the Turks on the conclusion of peace
after the campaigns of 1928 and 1929.
According to the story that was repeated
to him, it was laid down in the original
draft of the treaty of Adrianople that a
stream named the Tschoroch, which
flows into the Black sea to the south Of
Batoum, should form the new frontier
line between Turkey and Russia. In
making the fair copy of the deed, how
ever, the scribe employed mistook the
"r" for an 81, and so wrote Tscholoch,
q word which CHANGED to be the name at
that time of stream some twelve miles
to the north of Batoum-a clerical error
which consequently allowed the Turks
to retain possession Of the only good
harbor at the east end of the Black sea.

Three Hours in Il Well.

Frank, an cight-year-old son of Mr..
Snyder, was sent out to the woods near
Stoddartsville, Pa, to hunt up some
COWS that had strayed away. The boy
had not returned at dark. Then his
parents became alarmed, and some
neighbors were summoned to help hunt
him up. For two hours they searched
about in the woods. Nothing could be
seen of him. At about ten O'Clock one
of the searchers while passing through
tho yard of an old farmhouse, half
mile or so from Snyder's place, heard
some one call family "Papa, papa !"
He stepped in the direction of the sound,
and threw the light of his lantern in that
direction. BY it's rays he saw the missing
boy. He was lying almost on the edge
of an old we'll, the covering of which was
broken, revealing an opening about two
feet square. He was raised to his feet,
but being unable to stand was carried
home. He was carefully treated by the
overjoyed parents. For long time he
was unable to give any account OF what
had happened to him, but finally did,
substantially as follows:
He had hunted about in the lots for
the COWS until six o'clock. On his way
home he was passing through the old
farmyard. He startled q pheasant froma
clump of bushes, and turned aside to see
whether it had nest there. He crept
into the bushes, and instantly something
gave way beneath him, and he was
plunged up to his waist in water. He
knew that he had fallen into the old well.
After recovering from his terror he set
about as calmly as possible to get out of
his perilous situation. The only way
was to climb up the sides of the wall, by
the chinks between the stones. He
made his way half way up the well in
this way when his foothold gave way and
he fell back to the bottom again. He
then took off his shoes, and after resting,
started up again. His progress, he says,
was slow and tedious-so slow that it
had grown dark at the opening above,
indicating that he had been in the well
more than an hour. In trying to edge
around a large stone that he had met
with and which offered no place to help
him along, he lost his footing again, and
again fell to the bottom. The boy says
that if it had not been for bis thoughts
of home and the agony his parents would
be in at his absence, he would not have
had the nerve to attempt the ascent
again. He did, however, after long
rest in the water, to the chill of which
he had become accustomed. This time
he succeeded in scaling the wall, and on
drawing himself out at the opening
above, fell fainting to the ground.

Changes i'm Fashions,

The changes in the present fashions
are but trifing changes, however, there
are in the shape, color and trimming of
everything. All the changes are gradual;
the tightly-draped dresses are slightly
varied in drapery and trimming, and the
materials, such as grenadines and "gazes
neigeuse," are to be had in all the new
shades. Suits of woolen and faille arc
almost exclusively used for walking pur-
poses. The skirts are very short in
front, and have very long trains. In the
days of the French directory and the
empire these trains were taken up over
the arm, while now they are only raised
on one side. For evening wear the lower
part of skirts is trimmed with garlands
of flowers or fruit, or made with aprons
trimmed with lace and punches of flow
ers. For day wear the trimmii gs are
placed very low upon the skirts. The
principal trimmings used are woolen en-
broideries, damasquire galloon, and jet
or steel bead work.

Hawks rs POultry DeStrNyers.

Colorado has, by Legislative enactment,
given bounty of twenty-five cents for
each and every hawk scalp. At Denver
City, since the hawk season commenced,
the money paid for scalps for that coun-
ty alone averages from $50 to $40 per
day. These hawks are mostly killed in
the vicinity of chicken ranches, and the
bounty does not offset their ravages on
the poultry. They not only carry off the
young and half grown chicks, but actu-
ally attack full-grown fowls, which are
often killed by the furious onslaught of
the rapacious hawks. Meadow larks
have almost been exterminated by the
common enemy -...

A Victim of KleDtOmania,

Miss Sarah Redmond, fashionably
dressed young woman who is known to
her friends as being afflicted with KEEP
tomania, pleaded guilty of stealing a
seal skin sack and some articles of less
value, from New York stores. She ha-
bitually stole all she could, and spent the
proceeds in carriage rides. Her aim and
pleasure seemed to be carriage riding.
At the time of her arrest over seventy
pawn tickets were found on her. The
Judge said, in passing sentence, that it
was duty ne would gladly have avoided.
He thought the case was one for COM
mission in lunacy rather than an indict-
ment. He gave the lowest penalty the
law allowed, one year. The prisoner
broke down in tears as the sentence was
pronounced.

A QUEER FREAK OF NA1uRE.-Mr.
VIM. Cotton brought to our Office, says
the Holt county (Mo.) Press, one of
those strange monstrosities of nature.
The body in appearance resembled that
of well-developed pig, perfectly hair
less. 1t had but one eye, located direct
ly in the center of its forehead, and from
above the eye there protruded pro-
boscis or trunk about two inches in
length, which seemed to have an opening
throu yh it, as if for breathing purposes.
From appearance it must have been
born alive, although when found by Mr..
Cotton, with a litter of small pigs, it
was dead.

A woman recently died in London
whose career furnishes incident enough
for half a dozen scnFation novels. For
several years she served the authorities
of Scotland Yard as dete ctive. Placing
herself in relation with the parish doctor
she volunteered to nurse those families
whose honesty was suspected by the
authorities AS q nurse she disarmed
all suspicion, and did not fail to take
careful note of all she heard. Her man-
ners were also apparently so loose and
low that but little restraint was observed
in her presence, and her reports for
warded to the Scotland Yard We're thus
rendered all the more valuable. While
engaged in her duties, she extracted
from her half unconscious and debili-
tated fever patients the confession of
some dark deed, and hints as to the
whereabouts of confederates in crime.
Such was the general plan of action OBJ
served by this extraordinary woman !;
but this was rather slow process, and
at times it was necessary to fall at once
upon the wrongdoer. On one occasion,
for instance, the police received informa-
tion that there was gang of false
money-makers in certain street, but
notwithstanding every effort they were
unable to ascertain in Which house the
coiners worked. The services of the
female detective were therefore requisi-
toned, and she was dispatched to the
street i'll question to sec what could be
done. Feigning violent illness, she
persuaded child who issued from one
of the suspected houses, to take her in
doors for moment. The sudden
entrance thus obtained enabled the
detective to hear the metallic sounds pro-
ceeding from the coiner's workshop
before the latter were aware that any
stranger was in the house. But they
soon discovered their danger, and the
chief of the gang, in his fury, hurled a
ladle full of molten lead ut her head.
Fortunately the poke bonnet that she
wore saved her life; the burns she re-
ceived were not fatal, though they de-
stroyed her hair and it's roots The
police arrived in time, on hearing the
alarm, to arrest eighteen corners. After
this, she disguised herself as a boy, and
penetrated many thieves den. On
one occasion she was discovered, and
struck down with blow which fractured
her skull, before the police arrived to
her aid. Still undaunted, with returning
health she resumed her dangerous occu-
patton, often engaging in hand to hand
fights, and armed with the magic whistle,
rattle, and number given her by the
authorities, and which insured the
assistance Of every policeman, stranger
or not, whose services she might find it
necessary to call. Sickness at last sub
dued this turbulent spirit. and thieves
need no longer fear the visits of the
female detective.

Clearing a Gambling Saloon.

"Long Toms was the popular name
for drinking saloons in mining towns in
California during the gold fever. They
were long and narrow rooms, and received
their cognomen from resemblance to
sluice box, into which the miners emp
tied the "tailing," OF dirt in placer
mining.
Every mining camp had its "Long
Tom saloon, in which the evening
amusements were faro, roulette, monte
and fandango.
One night the freak seized Uncle Dave
Anderson, well known eccentric
comedian, who had been betting some
small sums in q "Long Tom saloon to
pretend that he had been losing heavily.
After about an hour of this play, he
rushed out in q seemingly desperate
mood, and somewhere obtained q pack
age of black sand, and half ounce or SO
of powder, the latter loose in his hand.
Rushing in again he pretended to pour
from the package into his hand, saying
as he did so "I've been robbed-I've
been robbed !" and threw the loose pow
der on the red-hot stove, producing a
slight explosion which attracted the at
tention of every one. "I'm ruined"
he continued, "but you shall all go with
me-, and dashed the package into the
stove. They went out of that saloon
peil-mell, over one another, through
windows and doors with mingled howls,
execrations and yells of terror, and in
three seconds by the watch Uncle Dave
had the field to himself.
Had it been done by any less popular
than he, the gamblers would probably
have killed him for his practical joke,
but as it was it is still told as good fun
in the place where it occurred, Placer
vile, then called Hangtown.
