including cants, 40 sections IN number,
is sold at S2S; with large stems ON keel,
and ready to plank $40 They are not
intended to be cinker built, nor as the

are intended for rough use and durabi-

they can be readily kept down The way
different aphidcs increase sometimes in
summer on various kinds of trees or
shrubs looks all but miracle, and the
imagination might lead one to believe
that they came into existence sponta.
ncously.
NJ. Fougard says that the ordinary
aphis produces ten generations during n
year, and that each insects also brings
forth about ten young ones, as seen in
the following table: LIST generation, 1

10000; lth, 1000, 900; 9Th, 100. 900.

Great numbers OF runaway criminal cy-
lies Gle, freeze to death, or are killed in
Siberia every year, and the finding Of the
uead hody of an unknown man in the
nci@hhorilood of a village is a common
occurrence. In one village the peasants
told me that they never reported the find
Ing of dead body to the police officer of
Their district. 1t always cost them money
in some way when they did, and they
therefore either buried it quietly and said
nothing about it, or carried it mt NIGHT to
the outskirts of some other village and
let it be found there. The Eastern RecieD
reports case in which dead body was
put into prison cell with living prison
crs and kept there until it became so often
sivc that the other occupants of the cell
were ready TO pay for its removal.
The methods of obtaining money that
are practiccd by police officials are not all
so ghasily and rcpulsivc as this, although
many OF them arc quite rs original.

called them together for the purpose of
reading to them regulations that the
Gossudar (Gos-soo -dar) desired every true
Russian to know. He then opened one
OF the big quartos, read unintclligible
laws to those unhappy peasants all the
afternoon, and notified them to come
around the next morning for another
lesson. Before bedtime that night the
peasants sent n dcputation to him to ask
him how much he would take to let them
