There lives not hundred miles
from the other end of the bridge a
veritable Mrs. Malaprop. She never
takes an elevator" but occasionally
rides in ''ventilator. When she
goes to the beach she prefers to take
her ''conclave" glasses for protection
from the suns rays, and she has diff
iculty at times when persons tell
her too funny stories to preserve the
equilibrium" of her countenance.
A friend of hers recently had .'ty-
phoid neuralgia, and her daughter,
who attended a wedding last week,
wore a very becoming ''coffycur. +"

James Richardson, a middle aoed
man, was pushed into the receiving
hospital by policeman at an early
hour one morning. He required sur
g1cal treatment. There was blood
on his face, on his shirt and ON his
hands. An interesting assortment of
cuts decorated his scalp and his left
eye resembled ripe plum.

lips.
"Got licked?"
Yep" and the victim settled back
while Freeman went to work with
sponge, needle and plaster. While at
work Freeman was observing Rich

what swollen and it pointed over its
owners right shoulder. lying almost

Richardson's nasal organ vigorously
and tried to pull it out straight It

howled like wolf and swore like a

steward, preparing for another pull.

him the use Of it for q limited period. There
are more than 800, 900 900 acres Of land held in
this way in different parts Of Russia, or enough
land to make eight states the size Of Ohio or
Kentucky. This land is held BY about as OOO. 900
owners and the average amount of Land hsld By
each Of these Russian peasants Is less than thir-
teen acres. In the rich lands the average is
much smaller than this and about lula the
Countess Tolstoi told me that it was not more
than three acres per person.
POOR MOBILES.
The Russian nobility, who used to own nearly
all OF this peasant land and who till genera
ton ago had the peasants as their serfs or half
slaves, are growing poorer and poorer. They
received pay for their lands which were given
to the peasants on a basis of per cent revenue
value OF them. But they have not made money
out Of their sales. and they are gradually sell
ing what they have left. and in the future
Russia may some time become a land of small
proprietors. Yet A. 1t is they still have vast
deal Of real estate, and have travelled through

the affairs of the village. The village you know,
owns the land and this assembly divides this
from time to time among the people, giving
each family certain number of acres accord
ing to the number in it and according to its
working power. After such division the lands
are left with the families to which they are
allotted until the next division, when they re-
vert to the village to be given out to the same
persons or to others as the assembly may see
fit. This assembly fixes the dates of harvesting,
the time Of sowing crops and it makes
all arrangements as to the collect ton Of taxes.
The government of the car taxes the village
lump sum. and this assembly apportions this
tax among those who should pay it. No one
can leave the village without the permission of
the assembly or without leaving behind him
a guarantee in some shape or other that his
share Of the imperial taxes will be paid. and a
drunken, good for nothing is often voted out of
the village entirely and his share of the village
lands goes back to the village. Each village
elects two petty judges, who settle ali email
suits relating to sums of less than es aud petty
quarrels, and larger suits arc settled. up to q
certain amount by higher court elected by

he lives rs far as he can from hand to mouth,
He has not vet reached the stage Of aspiring to

A HOSPITAL ROMANCE,
How q Strange Nurse Ends Her Course of
Treatment.

How . Strange Nurse Ends Her Course of
Treatment.
From the New York World.
All the good people of Middletovn, Conn,
who love romances are rejoicing over one at
home. The hero is John T. Demme and the
heroine Miss Julia E. Love. When the hero
was quite q youth-hs is now thirty-one years
old-he was afflicted with as many trials and
tribrlstions a. usually fall to the lot of even
the most Economically placed people. His
family were poor and he himself was afflicted
with hip disease, 30 that at one time ID seemed
likely that he would be thrust upon the uncer-
tain mercies OF the town for support. At this
critical period the ministering angel prossically
disguised as the family physician, stepped in
and advised the town clerk to send the bow 20
the New Haven Hospital for treatment. He
was taken there and an operation was performed
which resulted In his recovery. In the mean
time his father had died. and young Mr.. Demme
began his career AZ bookkeepcr in New Haven.
He advanced in his profession after the most
approved manner, and in time was sought for
by Boston firm He became commercial
traveller, and has gathered together neat little
fortune.
But this 10 only the record Of his mercantile
successes, which might stir Middietown with
pride. but not with deep emotion. The part OF
the story that causes the lover OF romance TO
rejoice is that during al these years Mr.. Demme
has been working and saving for the woman
who helped to save his life in the hospital

time that Mr.. pemme was a patient. and that
was the beginning Of this romance A pleasant
side feature Of II Is that Mr.. Demme's younger
sister became trained nurse through the in

northern part Of Russia in Europe. Bpiow this
zone of forests comes this black lands zone
where l now am. and below this and running
parallel with it across Russia is the arabic
\ steppes zone. which is bringing forth good
crops, but which needs manure TO help it, and
which in its character is much like our western
| prairies. 1t is used largely for grazing
and it grows wild grasses which are
often seven and eight feet high This zone has
| as much land as TexIs and it is said that Texas
could feed the whole United States. am told
that the soil in that part of Russia is much like
| that OF Texas, and when Russia is well opened
| up by railroads this zone will be an important
| factor in the agricultural markets of the world
| As it is now only about one-tenth of even the
black lands region is cultivated and Russia al
ready supplies the greater part of the food of
| Europe. Germany and the other countries of
| the continent have been much affected by the
prohibition of the grain exports from Russia
during the famine. and il il this more than any,

The land laws Of Russia are far different from

ylded up In q way that is not known elsewhere
The car owns more than half of all the lands of
the empire and great part Of the vast forests
of Russia belong to the crown. These forests
are managed by the officers of the crown and
the wood from them is cut by the peasants
either for wages or on speculation. The crown
has something like 80, 600 acres of forests
and 1t has vast of land which is leased
out and which brings a regular yearly revenue
The most OF its lands lie in the northern part of

Next to the car come the peasants. who own
about "a per cent or only a little more than q
| fourth Of European Russia, and the great bulk
Of this land is mortgaged to the state and is
being paid for on the instsilment plan. This
peasant land is owned not ty individuals but by
villages in common and these villages have as

upon them at the time that the serfs were freed by

competitor Of the United States in the markets
Of the world today. II comprises, am told,
nearly so0, 900 square miles, or more than twice
TIE area Of the Atlantic states from Maine to

Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan. Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North and South

FACTS ABOUT RUSSIA
In order to get any idea Of the Russian empire
and its people one must get out Of the cities and
travel Oh into the country. The Russia Of to-
day is an agricultural country, and il il among
the peasants that you find the elements that are
70 affect the world in the future There are
more than LOG. 900. 900 Of these peasants, and II
IL an interesting study TO look at them and the
vast areas Of Land they have to work with.
Russia in Europe is an empire in itself I have
already travelled weeks in going over . small
part Of IL, and its magnificent distances are like
those Of the United States. It has about two
thirds as much Land as the whole United States,
and this land Is q vast plain hemmed in by
the Cral mountains on the east running from

and nowhere having any hills more than / 100

Siberia It is as fat as a floor, as
rich as guano and as black as your hat.
Its soil is made up Of decomposed vegetable
matter, and it makes me think of the richest
fields Of Kansas, which Senator ingalls, once
told me we're so good that you could thrust your
arm down into them up to the shoulder and
pull out from the bottom handfuls OF black
earth as rich as that of the valley of the Nile.
This soil of the black plain is an almost natural
manure. II pulverizes easily and il ranges ell
the way from three TO five feet deep. 1t is the
Garden of Russia and il has been called the
