Indians don't have Dyspepsia, yet they
eat anything and everything, at all times
and under all conditions.
Indians don't have Malaria, yet they
sleep out of doors, exposed to night air,
live in damp places, and frequent changes
are quite common to their mode of life.

HATES ALL CEREMONY.
The Gar Is Neither Soldier, Sailor Nor
Diplomat.

The French will be greatly disap-
pointed if they think that general or
an admiral as an ambassador in ST.
Petersburg will be more successful in
getting the ear of the Car than plain
citizen. The fact is that the Car never
gives an audience. This man, who
dsposes of one of the vastest empires
in the world, before whom everything
falls down, whom no one resists, for
whom it is enough that he should
raise his little finger to set in move
ment millions and millions of men, is
neither a soldier nor a sailor nor
diplomat. might add that he is
almost what is known here as bour-
geois. He has horror of fetes, he
detests ceremonies, he loves neither
military nor naval reviews He adores
his family and is contented only with
them. He is not one Of those Rus
slams who are half savage, half Macht
avel, he is rather simple mujlk, a
lover of truth and a speaker of it.
When he returns to St. Petersburg he
bids the diplomatic corps not to come
to meet him. When he presides per-
force at a review he leaves the field as
soon as possible, and is pleased to get
down from his horse, for he does not
like it. AT Copenhagen his greatest
pleasure consisted in going out in a
short coat and a soft hat, mingling
with the pedestrians, who pretended
not to recognize him, and in taking a
cab. Indeed, he once amused himself
in a very odd fashion, he and his family
taking tramcar to go into the country.
In politics, as in everything else, the
Cars ideas are simple. He is moi
communicative because he does moi
know how to develop his thoughts
He has never spoken for five consecu
tive minutes in his life. When he is ir
Denmark or in the Crlmea, as his Gov
eminent accompanies him, he devote'

why Milk Differs In Quality.

from the normal condition than any
other food product. The first class of
changes has been brought about by the

be twice as rich as the normal. On the
other hand. other breeders have paid
especial attention 10 production of large
quantity. even at the expense of quality.

The Madonnas Of I,otticeiIi.

As we examine the various madonnas
by Botticelli i'll the galleries of London,

fail to be struck by the ardor of emotion
that seems TO have animated the painter
in his search for the perfect type Of
beauty realized in the Growing of the
Virgin" The construction of the head
of the Virgin is essentially the same in
all Botticelli 5 pictures. but the fieshly
mask and the expression vary, and the
final charm of each one remains an un-
decipherable puzzle.

UNTOLD SUFFERING.
Billiards and SnOw-Fuel and Light
shut or Frigld Weather.

New YORK, Jan. 1S.--Another heavy
snow fall fell here yesterday. rhe rivers
and harbor are virtually closed and navi-
CATION is suspended. The Staten Island
ferry boats have q channel opened from
dock to dock, but it requires hours to
make the trip and not without great
danger. At Seabright the ocean is frozen
solid for 100 yards from the shore.
St. Mary's, Ohio-Zero weather prevails
here. Last night the natural gas main,
which leads from the city into the fields
burst from the intense cold, and the sup
ply was altogether shut off, thus leaving
the inhabitants of the town at the mercy
of the frigid weather. The suffering
caused by this unlooked-for accident was
great, as the people were totally un-
prepared for such calamity The gas is
used by the whole town for heating, cook
ing and lighting, and there was neither
wood nor coal enough in sufficient quan.
titles to meet the emergencies.
7 Toledo, Ohio.-The trains on the twenty
roads entering Toledo are delayed from
three to fifteen hours by snow. Toledo
and Ann Arbor, Mich, train was fast in
the snow north of Carunna, Mich, twelve
hours yesterday. The street car system
is demoralized and more than 100 motors
are stopped. The natural gas supply
ceased entirely yesterday and there is
scarcely any wood in the town. There is
ultold suffering and it is feared that many
of the very poor will succumb to the cold
and insufficient food.
