JEWS IN RUSSIA.
Russian Authors Make an Appeal in
Their Favor.

Russian Authors Make Appeal in
Their Favor.
The following protest against the per-
secution of the Jews in Russia has been
prepared and signed by sixty Russian
authors, including Count Leo Tolstoi:
1.-THE movement against the Jews
is an unprecedented offense against the
fundamental principles of justice and
humanity. We believe it necessary
to remind the Russian public of the
existence of these principles, for
in them is found the solution of the
Jewish problem. The problem has
in fact arisen only from the for
getfuiness Of them. Every open
act of enmity against the Jews as
race, or only because they are Jews,
would be product of blind national
egOtlsm and narrow selfshness without
shadow of justification. If Jews have
been compelled or centuries to devote
themselves to trade i'll money because
excluded from other trade, and if they
show the unpleasant effects of the in
cidental influence they are hardly to be
bettered by persecution; in fact, they
are only to be made the worse by it.
Because man is of the Semitic race
and obeys the laws of Moses, in which
there is nothing blameworthy, there is
not the slightest reason why ne should
be subjected to demands and limita-
tons from which other Russian sub
jects are free. The Jews bear the same
burdens of state as other subjects, and
should therefore have the same duties
and obligations. The Acknowledgements
and practical application of these truths
are just as necessary for us as for the
Jews. This virulent excitement of race
and creed hatred, which SO completely
contradicts the spirit of Christianity
aud is opposed to all humanity of feel
ing, is certain to make all society rot.
These words deserve all the more at
tention in view Of the present sinking
and decay of humane ideas and just
standards of conduct. Self-preserva-
ton demands that we take firm stand
against the movement, not only be-
cause it is immoral but because it en-
dangers Russia's future"

Journalistic Enterprise.

A newspaper Is pubilshed at Prince
the Canadian Northwest territory,
called the Prince Albert Critic. It's
size is four pages, four columns to the
page. The paper has a circulation of
several hundred copies. and is speci-
men of what can be done by an enter
prising journalist without a font of
type. The mode Of issuing it is rather
peculiar. The matter instead of being
set up in type, is written in ink with an
an electric pen on prepared paper, the
rest of the issue being imprints Of the
original sheet. The paper is newsy for
its size, contains quite number of ad
vertisements, and is the official paper

cular structures are bruised or punct-
ured, and serious disease, perhaps
ruin of the foot, has its beginning.
Here on the sole, at either side of the
irog, are the "bars," whose function it
is to prevent incurving of the wall of
the hoof at the heels. These are in
Guided in the general destruction, and
contraction of the heels in invited. At
the heels, where the wall of the hoof
is infected inward to become a part of
the sole of the foot, just at this corner is
another place for the exercise of des-
tructive ingenuity. The smith "opens
up the heels by cutting out Vshaped
piece on either side of the frog, and so
takes away another part of the arch de-
signed by nature to prevent the heels
curling in on the sensitive structures,
and SO causing lameness as a certain
result. Corns, contracted heels, etc,
have their origin in this special NAL
treatment.
Want of space prevents our consider
ing these things at length. We must be
content with saying to the horse owner,
do not perm such treatment. Stand
over the smith (and even then he will
do just what you forbid his doing, and
compel him to let the wall and the sole
of the foot alone. Neither of these
structures should ever be cut away, ex-
cept under the personal direction of the
skilled, learned, practical, mechanical
larriers, who are natural horsemen and
mechanics Experiments have shown
that i! hot shoe be pressed against the
bottom of the foot it closes the ends OF
the tubes, and prevents the foot alb
sorbing it's natural fluids. Further
more, by my experience L am qualified
- OF = hot
ter-cracks, contracted feet, stumblers,
cutting quarters, bad breaking, and loss
of speed are caused by improper shoe
ing and bad fitting, which should be
forbidden by all horse owners.
Other and common causes Of poor
feet are letting the horses stand on
plank floors, laid on an incline with
spaces one inch apart. When a horse
stands on such floor one side of the
web of the shoe is liable to drop into
the open space and cause the ankle to
be twisted, which causes him to cut his
ankle. Furthermore, letting a horse
stand on place that is not kept clean,
the gases and acids produced by the de-
conn position Of eXcrement cause injury.
Any preparation that contains grease
should not be used, as all common
sense horsemen know that grease will
fill the tubes of the foot and prevent it
from obtaining moisture as nature has
designed for preserving the life of the
foot. A horses feet should be washed
in warm water every time that the ami
NAL comes in from drive and as soon
as he reaches the stable. If this is not
observed the foot is liable to become
dry, hard, brittle and contracted, then
the poor animal soon becomes lame.

The Lady CrIcketers.

Lady cricketers are in fashion in
Melbourne, but sad discovery is like
ly to unsettle the public faith in fem
mime honesty. Recently a team Of
LADY cricketers carried all before them
owing chiefly to the skill of their cap
tain, who played with the dizziness of a
masculine professional. One day this
talented lady was playing in high
wind, and as she ran a sudden squall
caught her cap and carried off, not only
the cap, but the feminine wig beneath.
Alas an unmistakable boys head was
revealed, and the secret Of the fem,
mime proficiency was out-the supposed
damsel was disguised medical student.

How to Shoe Horses.

A noted New England veterinarian
says in the American Cultivator that if
horseshoers could be compelled to learn
how to treat the horses loot, compelled
to put on the shoe without mutilating
the foot, the work of keeping it in good
condition would be very simple. The
outer layer of the hoof, although very
thin, is dense in texture and very hard.
It's function is to prevent evaporation
from the underlying layers, and once it
is destroyed the hoof becomes brittle,
curls in at both coronet and heels, and
finally becomes utterly unfit for the
work of supporting the horses weight.
The average blacksmith, as if possessed
of a spirit of destructiveness, shows
this important part of the foot no mercy,
but, aided by a rasp and sandpaper,
puts forth his best endeavOr to work its
destruction. On the sole of the foot is
thick, horny secretion designed by
nature to protect that sole from injury.
Here again the smith carries forward
the work of destruction by cutting away
everything down to the soft and yield
ing sole.
AS result of this the sole becomes
dry, contracts, and if the horse is SO I'm.
fortunate as to step heavily on any hard
substances, this thinned sole offers nc
resistance, and the sensitive and vas,

Timber 1000 Years Old.

Probably the oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to the
use of man is found in the ancient tern-
pie of Egypt, says the Boston Traveller,
in connection with stone-work which
is known to be at least 4, ZOO years old.
This was the only wood used in the
construction of the temple, and is in
the form of ties, holding the end of one
stone to another. When two blocks
were laid in place, an excavation about
All inch deep was made in each block
in which one of these wooden ties,
shaped like an hour-glass, was driven.
1t is therefore, very difficult to force a
stone from its position. These ancient
ties are made of timarisk or Shittim
wood, the same as that from which the
ark was constructed

THE kAISER,S UNDERSTUDY.
Why Emperor William Keeps Primes
Henry in Sight.

Why Emperor William Keeps Prince
Henry in Sight.
A story, circulated at the time of the
Emperor Williams death, is just now
again being repeated, SAYS the Pail Mall
Gazette. The tale had something dramat-
lc about it, and recent events lend to tan
air of probability. The old Emperor,
on his deathbed, sent for his grandson,
and, explaining to him the difficulties
of government, and the possibility that
he might be Emperor while still
young man, made him promise to assoc
ciate his younger brother in the admin
istration of affairs. The young prince
gave the promise, whice was exacted,
perhaps, because the Emperor foresaw
the premature death of his son, or be-
cause he had that idea of parental gov
eminent which has always been so
strong with the family of Hohenzol-
Terms. And now, it is said, the time
has come to redeem the promise. The
Emperor has sent for his younger
brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, and
ordered him to quit the active service of
the navy and prepare himself for more
important and imposing functions. He
is to take his elder brothers place
whenever the Emperor cannot preside
in person at state ceremonials or recep-
tons. He is to be kind of regent or
Lord Lieutenant to the Emperor.
William II. is fond of voyage and ad-
venture. Like his ancestor, Frederick
H., he seems never SO happy as when
he is away from his own capital, but
still in his own dominions Is the move
intended to give the young Emperor
greater freedom in his state duties, or
is it merely obedience to solemn
promise

Mrs. Potter's Cheek.

The suggestion which was made some
short time ago that electricity shouldbe
utilized for the shearing Of sheep has
been promptly taken advantage of by
the Australian sheep farmers. A very
effective installation has just been made
on the Raukapuka estate for actu-
ating Wolsely heep-shearing machines
by motors. Ten OF these machines are
now electrically worked there, and it is
calculated that the extra value of the
clip of 1000 sheep has nearly recouped
in one season the whole cost of putting
up the machines. In the Raukapuka
plant. turine drives the dynamo, and
an overhead wire conducts the current
TO the motor which drives the sha ting
in the woolshed. Special arrangements
are made to keep the speed of the
shalting constant. though the work be-
ing done continually varies.

Warming Water for Cows.

Whether it would pay to warm water
for other stock may be questionable,
but it certainly pays to warm it for COWS.
They are encouraged to drink more.
Their food, being thoroughly moistened,
digests better, and their stomachs are
not chilled so as to arrest digestion, as
they are sure to be if ice-cold water is
given. 1t is possible that warming the
water may encourage the cow to give SO
much milk as to reduce her own flesh.
But that is an evil that no dairyman
who really understands his business
need fear. It is the cows business to
give all she is capable of giving, and it
is his to supply her with whatever is
needed to keep her in good condition
and supply all the materials for the
milk she produces.

Market for EyaDorated APPLES.

1t is scarcely possible to glut the
market with evaporated fruit SO as to
bring it below cost of production. 1t
has a market all over the world, being
cheap, easily carried, without waste.
One of the best markets for low grade
evaporated apples is in France, where
failure of the grape crop has made a
demand for cider as substitute. Our
cheapest evaporated apples compare
favorably in cider making with the
fruit from French orchards, very little
OF which is from uratted trees, and SO
poor and sour that here it would be
scarcely thought fit for cider. Possibly
failure of their vineyards may induce
the French fruit growers to take better
care OF their orchards; but a good mar
ket for evaporated apples seem to be
assured for some years to come.

The Cheapest Meat.

Most farmers know that young ami
mails grow faster from the food con-
sumed than they do after they pass
their second year. With pigs and
sheep shorter time suffices to attain
limit of profitable growth. The meat of
lambs is higher in price and has cost its
owner less to produce. Sheep for
breeding may be kept five years. Aft
er that they too, should be fattened, as
keeping longer will result in more or
less dying every year from indigestion,
as their teeth become poor. Young
hogs that weigh $50 to 200 pounds find
ready sale and at better prices per
hundred than the overgrown porkers
starved one year, when there is most
profit in good feeding, and fattened the
next when there is least.

Feeding Stock on Browse.

lands hay could not be had, and the
evil OF an exclusive grain diet for
cows and sheep was Obviated by cutting
down large trees solely for the purpose
Of feeding off the tops. Eastwood
browse was preferred, as it was most
eagerly eaten. But it required more
labor to supply stock with this browse
than it did to cut hay, rake it up with
hand rake and put it in stacks for win
ter use. The "reminiscences of olden
methods show that much as farmers
complain, they suffered greater priva-
tons and had to work much harder
than farmers would now think of doing

was never reckoned a very nutritious
food, and COWS fed on it with nothing
else were always very thin after the
winter had passed.

ROME, Nov. 9.-Premier Rudini to-day
announced the introduction of measures to
diminish the expense of the local corps, to
settle difficulties of ROme's civic admipiS-
tratiOn and 10 reorganize banks of issue by
liberatiug capital and issuing uniform notes
in the form adopted by the bankers associa-
ton. Continuing, Premier Rudini said that
the commercial treaties with Germany.
Austria and Switzerland did not mjure
manufactures. They favored the eXpOrta-
ton of agricultural products. Abiding to
the Vatican he said: I'VE have in our
midst q papacy which sometimes assumes
a threatening attitude, but whose
sphere of action is limited to the
exercise of spiritual powers not only by
law, which cannot be lightly contravened,
but also by the almost unanimous consent
of those W o are themselves most religious.
The country's ecclesiastical policy has now
become traditional.
"The honor and strength of the kingdom
of Italy must be maintained. The deplor
able incident produced by few short
sighted persons will not make US
deyiate from that policy. Not for
so slight a matter Will we raise
questions affecting the constitution of
the kingdom nor tamper with the immOv-
able statutory law which guarantees wis

vout homage to the pope. Strong in the

Premier Rudini's remarks concerning the
papacy have produced bad impression at
the vatican, the programme tending to
make the pope only the first subject of the
king. The pope will prepare a sharp note
in reply.
In conclusion, Marquis Rudini said: 1--WE
have constantly striven to dispel the dis
trust that France feels towards Italy. The
recent participation of the French in the

ian patriot Garibaldi. was an assurance of

LONDON, Nov. 9.--Dispatches received
here to-day from Pernambuco show that
the troubles in Brazil are approaching an
acute crisis. and there is much anxiety ex-
pressed in financial and commercial circles
regarding the outcome of Fonseca's action
in dissolying congress and again assuming
the role of dictator, which he laid down
subsequent to his election as president
of the newlyformed republic, and many
grave doubts are expressed as TO the sue
cess of this latest political move. These
dispatches state that in Pernambuco there
is general discomfort on all sides at Da
Fonseca's action, but there is nothing more
TO show that the people have done anything
further than TO express their disapproba-
ton of the course followed by the dictator
From the province of Rio Grande Do Sui,
however, comes intelligence that is alarm
ing in its nature. News from this province
is to the effect that the local government
has refused TO acquiesce in the assumption
of Da F'onseca's power of dictator. and re-
tarding the independence of the province.
In the dispatches received to-day from Per-
naEbuco it is further stated that there is
great discomfort throughout all the prov
inces of Brazil.
