DIRE DISTRESS,

AS 1t Exists in Famine e-StriclSen Russia
Men and Brutes Starving Together in
Many Districts.
LONDON, Feb 19.-Count Tolstoi gives
in the Daily Telegraph an interesting
description OF the soup kitchens which
he has established for the relief of his
famine-stricken country people. When
he hears that the people of village
aare starving, he journeys hither and
subjects the Starosta, or leading elder,
to series of inquiries, calculated to
ascertain who are most in need.
'How about Theodore Am bramoff," !"
he asks for instance. To this the elder
replies, perhaps, that Theodore is badly
off, but can pull through. He follows
up the same line of inquiries 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
ggives rye bread and potatoes to those
who are in need of relief.
The peasants are most anxious to
save their horses, as their chief depend
.ence for future agricultural operations.
Those of kalooga are especially proud
of their equine stock, and in some in
stances have gone without food them
aselves in order to keep the horses alive
The peasants of one place, themselves
virtually starving, have kept eighty
horses alive through the winter so far
,on famine rations, rather than kill the
animals Men and brutes starve to

BURNED THREE CHILDREN.
An Ignorant Canadian Who Thought lie

An Ignorant Canadian Who Thought He
Had II Right to Cremate Their Bodies
In stove.
MONTREAL, Feb 2O.-A horrible story
of private crcmatory comes to light
in St Cunegoude, a suburb of this
place. A spilSe-maker named Adolphe
Lawse recently lost three children and
burned their bodies in cooking stove
to save funeral expenses. Magis-
trates have been applied to, but
they hold that he acted within his
rights. Rev. Father Sequiu was
notified, and he called on the father
Lawse said he had lived both in France
and cities of the United States. In both
places he had heard that dead people
were burned in big ovens. Such being
the case he thought he was justified in
burning his own young child after its
death in his cooking stove. He also
held the opinion that he had perfect
right to bury his children in his back
yard, or in his cellar, which he also ap'
pears to have done. He contended that
he had known such things to have been
done by people whom he was PERSONAL
ly acquainted with in Paris.

STlLT WALKING.


Locomotion on stills is evidently cal.
culated to suggest peril to persons who
are accustomed to walking only on the
feet. We estimate the possible danger
of a fall from the height of these imple.
ments from our experiences of ordinary
pedestrians falls; but the Landais ha.
bituated from infancy to this sort of eX'
ercise, acquire eXtraordina ry ease and
skill in it. The tchangue is perfectly
able to preserve his equ ilibrium; he
marches with long strides, halts in n
standing position, runs with agility, OF
executes an occasional acrobatic turn,
picking up stone from the ground,
plucking Il flower, pretending to fall
and rise quickly, or running in lock-
step, etc
The speed attained by stitsmen is
easily explained, when we regard the
superior length of the stride which they
can make without enlarging the angle
of separation of the legs.
When the Empress Josephine went to
m eet Napoleon at Bayonne in 1905, the
municipality sent company of young
| Laudais stiltsmen to escort her Turn
ing back, they very easily kept up with
her carriages, although the horses
trotted ratidly, During her sojourn at
Bayonne the she pherds on their stills
gave mu ch amusement to the ladies OF
the court. They ran races, threw money
on the ground and all tried to pick it IN
at once, and performed many exercises
of cunning and skill, accompanied with
frequent falls Until very recentlJ
hardly any festivals took place in thd
will ages of Gascony without stilt races
The prizes usually consisted of "A gun,
sheep, rooster, or something of thd
kind; and young women sometimes tool
part in the exercises. M, Guyot- Dau bes

PARKERsBURa, w. Va, Feb 2O-The
family of David Yohey, living at Bruc-
ton, in Preston county, had terrible
experience. During the day several
ugly characters were seen about the
premises and hiding in the woods
near by. They were supposed to
be members of the notorious Cooley
gang who have recently raided
the border counties of Pennsylvania
and this state. The neighbors were
posted, and arrangements for help were
made if needed. just as they had
locked the doors at night three masked
men broke them open and entered, two
others remaining outside. Six re-
volvers were presented at the heads
of the family, which consisted OF
Yohey, his aunt and niece The
niece was so frightened that she gave
up key to drawer which contained
S14. so, which the robbers secured. They
then ransacked the house, taking sew
eral watches and other valuables All
the best clothing IN the house was then
taken by the robbers, and in the pres
ence of the family cut to pieces, leav-
ing the inmates with nothing but what
they had on. All the pictures and
other ornaments were wontenly de-
stroyed, and the robbers left. No ar
rests vet.
