An interesting paper issued by the
Russian ministry of the interior informs
us that the yearly average number of
foreigners arriving in Russia is over
800, 900, and those who leave the country
750, 600. Exact statistics of the years
1921 have been kept, and it appears
that during these ten years 9,45S, 1872
foreigners arrived and s,O25, 1893 de-
parted. The nine and a half millions of
arrivals are thus classified: Germans
come first, with 4,s71, 571; then Aus
trians, 1905, 143; Persian subjects num-
Der 255, 2O7i French, 122, III; Turkish
subjects, 0,9s7; Roumanians, Bull
garians and Servians, Al 1878; Eng
lish, 2O,691; Italians, II, 359; Greeks,
IA, 1856, and all other n~ationalities
100, 63S. In recent years most of the
foreigners who have settled in Russia
have chosen as their place of residence
the western and Baltic provinces, the
two capitals, and the larger towns on the
Volga. The German population of Rus
sia, who remain German subjects, is
found chiefly in st. Petersburg, Reval,
Moscow and Nijni-Novgoved; the French
in Warsaw, st. Petersburg, Moscow,
kiev and Odessa, Austrian subjects in
Kamenitz-P odolsk, Volhynia and Kiev;
Greeks, Turks and Italians in Odessa and
in all the towns of the Crimea and of the
Caucasus; the English settle near their
native element in the ports; and a few
citizens of the United States live in st.

When Did Punctuation Originator

A correspondent wrote to the editor of
The London Public Opinion for informa-
ton on this subject, and received the
following reply: at is generally be-
lieved that the elements of a system Of
punctuation existed in ancient times.
Aristotle mentions the subject in his
Rhetoric About the middle of the
Fifth century an edition of the Four
Gospels was published, In which the New
Testament was divided into stichoi or
lines regulated by the sense. Modern
punctuation appears to nave been very
imperfectly understood till the close of
the Fifteenth century, when the Venetian
printers adopted some fixed rules, which
gradually became general throughout
Europe. Perhaps, however, some of our
readers can throw light on the subject"

The Famous Carthusian Table.

Not a great way from Monterey, Mex
leo, is the famous Carthusian table, one
Of the greatest natural curiosities on the
continent. 1t is n table land 1,4OO feet
high and $500 above sea level. The
figure of the table land is an almost per-
feet crescent, running east and west, and
on its summit is more than 80, 900 acres
of perfectly level land, Astounding in run
ming water. The only way to reach the
top is by a p%erilous road five feet wide
and three miles long. This singular
mountain was named for the Carthusian
monks by a former tribe of Indians who
occupied it and were taught by the
fathers. 1t is now owned as a summer
resort by Senior Don Patrico Melmo, a
rich banker of Monterey, a lucky Irish
man who in his native and was known
as plain Pat Mullens. Chicago Herald.

VlNEGARS THAT POISON.
Some Excellent Advice Regarding tho
Various Brapds-whIch Is the Rest.

Some Excellent Advice Regarding tho
Various Brands-whIch Is the Best.
''There are good vinegars in the mar
ket; there are also those which are indif-
ferent, bad and very bad. The latter
are the more common" remarked a
member of the health board to a reporter
the other day. "The best and most
wholesome are those made from cider
and wine. These retain suggestions of
the apples and grapes from which they
originally came. If carefully kept they
remain palatable for an indefinite
period; if carelessly, they, like every
good food substance, are apt to become
moldy and unwholesome. From n gas
tronomic standpoint, the best vinegar is
that which is made from red wine; next
to it are those made from white wine,
cider and perry. The first is invaluable
in salad dressing on account of its beauti-
full color; the second is most useful in
those preparations where no color at all
is desired; the third is available for all
general use, and the last comes to the
front whenever the delicious %jargonelle
flavor is conducive to the culinary sue
cess.
"Below this first class are the vinegars
made from ale, beer and whisky. These
are coarse, heavy and often offensive.
They never, except in the case of whisky,
are made purposely, but represent the
desire of some brewer or distilIers to
utilize goods which have beer ruined by
careless treatment and which would
otherwise prove a total loss. The ale
that sours in the barrels and ~hogsheads,
the beer that begins to putrefy in the
vaults and the wretched whisky which
is 30 full of fusil oils that no dealer, not
even the lowest, will purchase it at any
price, are the raw materials from which
this class of vinegars is made. They
cannot be said to be injurious, but they
are simply miserable apologies for the,
real article. In England they make what
is called a malt vinegar from mashed
malt without distillation, but by simply
allowing the sugar fermentation to go to
an acetic fermentation. 1t may also be
stated that there is nothing equal for do
nestle use to a good cider vinegar, and
should be willing to pay n fan
price for honest goods.
"By buying their vinegar from reput-
able dealers only there will be no diff
Guilty in avoiding such unwholesome
stuff as we herein expose. Below this
grade of whisky vinegar, bad enough in
every respect, are the vinegars made in
the laboratory by chemical processes and
especially by the destructive distillation
of wood. Unless skillfully refined and
purified they contain creosote, wood tar
and other products of the same class, all
of which are injurious, many of which
are poisonous and some of which are
fatal to the user. They nave one adj
vantage, and only one-they are cheap.
They bear the same relation to genuine
vinegar that myrbane oil does to bitter
almonds, glucose to pure sugar, sweet
ened dilute oil of vitriol t. lemonade and
lard oleomargarine to fresh creamery
butter. New York Mail and Express.

An ingenious idea has been hit upon
by an investigator on the preservation of
fruit juices. He finds that the addition
of q very small amount of chloroform,
about five to ten drops to two pounds of
the liquid to be preserved, acts as a most
excellent preventative. The method is
certainly a very simple one, and such q
small amount of chloroform should be
entirely harmless. New York Mail and
