Count Leo Tolstol has received In Moscow
visit from an inspiring young Russian poet,
who had previously sent a copy Of his produc-
lions to the great romanclst and philosopher.
AT this Interview the count said; II have
read your book, or Mt least the greater part OF
1t. But must tell you at once, and frankly,
that entertain a general dislike TO all poetry,
and for this rcasOn-that 1t prevents one from
giving clear, Intelligent aud comprehensive
expression to ones thoughts and ideas Why
should we laboriously strain TO conform our
expressions 10 the rhythmical and metrical
rules of yeriincation, when we can the better
and more clearly convey our thoughts In sim
pie and lucid preset 1t Is ms If, instead Of
permitting me the free use OF my limbs, you
tether my legs, and make me hobble around
the object OF observation. In order to be
succinct, concise and Complementary cN-
prcssive | always strive so to construct my
language that every reader, even he OF the
scantlest intelligence, can, without the slight
est trouble of reflection, at once grasp my
meaning. II | wrote In verse my primary and
distractng labor would be TO conform to the
laws and rules of yersltication, and my read
ers would be left To sift out for themselves
the thoughts and ideas | wished to convey. II
may be perfectly frank with you" said the
count, with peculiarly bitter expression on
his face" would say that vcrses are generally
the production OF literary wantonncss, literary

On the Empire land several members of the
.olouy have in altogether something like
1900 acres of wheat and oats, says the San

plowed last summer and part this spring and
Al sown about the same time. 1t Is very easy
TO note the difference in the grain, that on
The summer following being far iu advance of
the other. 1t varies in quality from fair TO
splendid. The worst of 1t looks promising,
and much of it is certain to give heavy
yield, being almost beyond the need of more
water.
About sixty acres of this Is winter wheat,
sown In September, and now beginning to
head. 1t will be ready TO harvest by the 18th
Of July.
The oats were sown late and are just get
ting well up, and 1t is too early TO begin
measuring the yield, but the prospects are ex-
cel!ent.
The colonists realize that the country mp
pears 10 be fayoring them, and they are at
work cheerfully from morning TIL night
with irrigatlng Shovel adapting themselves
to the unfamiliar work very quickly, MS
though they were used TO padding in the
water.
II any one expects to see these colonlsts
make u failure of farming In the San Luis
valley they will be nightly surprised at har-
vest time. Everything at the colony Is ork

the value to health of the pure liquid

The Rio Grande river has been falling al
the rate OF about four inches a day lately and
the indications now are that there may be a
shortage of water early in the season, says
the Del NOrte PrOSpcci3r. During the past
1--WE years each year has witnessed terrific
destruction by fire of timber along the head
waters of the Rio Grande and tributaries
This, of course, lessons the protection to the
source OF water supply and means a CORE

The country cntire-pastoral and farming
Is as dry As u bone, and heavy rainfall

the usual heavy owstorms this spring and
the destruction OF timber by fire have all

The skill and ingenuity of Parisia n
police have been the foundation of
hundreds of novels with detective
heroes of incredible acuteness and
cunning. After careful examination
of the various methods in vogue in
poll circles of the gay city, the mar
velous ability of the Partisan depart
ment is shown to be due in n great de
gree to the perfection OF its system.
A striking example of the elaborate
machinery which the Paris police set
in motion when crime is discovered
is seen in the peculiar Photographic
camera which stands over the WAX fig
urc of n corpse lying on its back Mt full
length. Tine figure is so realistic in
its faithful portraiture of n murdered
man that II is scnsa tional. The camera
is mounted on a tripod about eight feet
high and points d. wn upon the corpse.
In this way the police secure what
well rs its elevation and perspective,
which are secured by cameras of or
binary character.
In the front room is large case
which at first glance resembles n
rogue's gallery So it is, but it is more
than mere collection of photographs.
In the first place, each picture is an
original negative on ground glass, SO
that no alteration can be made. In the
next place the collection is grouped so
as TO display the topography of the
features. Each type of nose, eye.

THE FRENCH BUILDING.

year ago the very curious fact was
noted by animal philosophers that the
physical proportions of Caliph, Miss
Murphy and Eatina were in the ratio
of 4, . and L.. That is, Caliph was
twice as large us his wife, and Miss
Murphy twice as large as her daughter.
This arithmctical progression was
well illustrated when the animals stood
side by side. with Miss Murphy in the
middle. A straight line would have
been tangent to the back of each.
At present however, Miss Murphy
and Fatimu are of about the same size
and this is the cause of Caliph's per
plexitv. His doubt is added to from
the fact that he is shut off from the
rest of the family. One part of the
dividing partition consists of thick
boards placed close together and the
other part of series of palings about
foot apart. Caliph observes his
family through these palings. In the
past his affection for his wife has been
marked. He has followed her around
dutifully whithersoever she would
lead. in the open air tank he would
wnllow by her side all day long, and
could not eat his meals in peace unless
he fed off the same pile of grass that
his wife did. As for Fatima, she could
roam around at pleasure unnoticed by
her father. At the end of the summer
vacation Caliph could not be induced
to enter the Carnivora home until Miss
Murphy had gone on before.
Taking all these evidences of affec-
ton into account it is rather surpris-
ing to observe that Caliph devotes most
of his attention at present to his
daughter. He caressft her tcnderly
through the paling partition at every
opportunity, while Miss Murphy
stands by unheeded. The hippopota-
mus method of kissing is interesting.

GALLERY IN THE FRENCH BUILDING.

The one who does the kissing (the
male, of course) opens his jaws to the
fullest extent In Caliph the extent
is something over two feet, SO that
when he is ready to kiss you may see u
considerable distance down his throat.
The female hippopotamus then opens
her mouth slightly, only about one
foot or so, and rests her lower lip on
that of the male. The latter closes
his mouth gently and holds the others
lower lip tenderly for moment. Tho

During the progress OF these deli
cate attentions, Miss Murphy has OK
hibited no sign of Jealousy. In fact,
it may be fair to assume that she feels
certain sense of pleasure that her
spouse has shown such an apparent
change of heart toward his offspring.
