THE SOUP KITCHEN.
Tolstoi Gives An Interesting Descrip-

Tolstoi gives An Interesting Descrip-
tion Of His Relief Work.
LONDON. Feb. 19.-Count Tolstoi,
gives in the Daily Telegraph an inter
esting description of the soup kitchen,
which he has established for the relief
OF his famine stricken country people.
When he hears that the people OF a vii.
lage are starving, he journeys thither
and subjects the starosta, or leading
elder to series of inquiries calculated
to ascertain who are most in need.
How about Theodore Abramoff?' he
asks for instance, To this the elder re.
plies, perhaps, that Theodore is badly
off, but can pull through. He follows
up the same line of enquiries regarding
other peasants and usually finds that he
can get impartial and trustworthy in.
formation as to the actual wants Of the
people. Besides his soup kitchens, he
gives rye bread and potatoes to those
who are in need of relief. The peasants
are most anxious to save their horses, az
their chief dependence for future agri-
cultural operations. Those of Kalooga
are especially proud of their equine
stock, and in some instances have gone
without food themselves in order tc
keep the horses alive. The peasants oil
one place, themselves virtually starving
have kept eighty horses alive through
the winter, SO far on famine rations.
Men and brutes starve together.

Mennonite Immigration.

ODESSA, Feb. 19.--The proposed inn
migration to America this spring of the
German Mennonites, settled near Tash-
kend, in Asiatic Russia, is the RESULT of
the new policy adopted by the Russian
government in requiring the Mennonites
to do military service same as other
subjects of the empire. This is against
the Mennonite creed, the people of that
sect being equally averse to lawsuits
and to war. For over a hundred years
their prejudices have been respected
and they have been regarded as desir-
able residents of the empire on account
of their skill, industry and law abiding
character. 1t is now desired, however.
to get rid of all Germans, no matter
how remote their descent, who are not
entirely analgamated with the Russian
population.

than 40,000,000 bushels of actual wheat

bushels which are really wind" sales
and must be covered at whatever
price the market touches. But
this Is not all. Similar short sales have
been made in all of the principal
markets in this country and in
Liverpool. 1t is asserted that
the alleged combination of multi
millionaires sent agents abroad and
secured accurate information az to the
real shortage in the crop, and rs early
as the middle OF December began to
quietly pick up all of the wheat Of
fered, working through comparatively
unknown brokers, and that they thus,
without attracting attention, secured
absolute control of the market. Wheth.
er or not the price put to high figure

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Observations
made at the naval observatory by
Professor Edgar Frisby showed that the
large spot hitherto observed upon the
sun, which covered space equal to one
sixteenth of the suns surface, or an area
of 10000 miles long by 100, 900 wide,
has by some great catclysmic operation
been broken into about twenty smaller
spots. In addition to this, other spots
have appeared, which are situated a
vast distance from the original spot, and
are evidently totally independent from
it. This new development on the suns
surface has attracted the attention OF
the astronomers at the observatory, and
will be closely observed by them.
