SMUGGLING WITH SNOW BALLS.
The Novel and Successful Ruse tG
HOOdwink the Cxar's Soldiers.

The Novel and Successful Ruse to
HOodwink the Cxnr's Soldiers.
From Exchange.
Until within recent years the Russian
frontier on the German boundary was
guarded In a surprisingly weak manner
for a nation SO completely under military
rule as tho czar's great empire. But now
there is a strong Gordon Of garrisons only
a few miles apart and a careful patrol
service between them. The chief duty Of
these garrisons Is to prevent smuggling
and the introduction of nihtlist literature
into Russia. The duty Is hard and monoto-
nous, and the czar does not like to have
his best-trained and most effective regi-
ments sent out along the boundary line.
For the most part these garrisons consist
Of young recruits from the eastern and
central provinces of Russia. They are sell
dom expert soldiers, and the lax discipline
they are under is further weakened by
their excessive drinking. Their small pay
Is doled out to them twice month, and
every kopeck of it is Immediately expended
in vodka. After the vodka Is gone they
employ their spare time in making raids
across the boundary line into the German
farm yards to supplement their meager ra-
tions.
these two countries there is series Of
great. open plains. Over these an Icy east
wind blows in winter. and the only way
the soldiers can keep alive on their patrol
the posts. Even then the patrols frequent
ly have their limbs frozen In their monoto-
nous marches to and fro. Hence 1t Is not
at all difficult to smuggle across the boun-
dairy and, indeed, 1t Is suspected that the
soldiers often add to their small pay by
making deals with the smugglers and turn
ing their heads the other way when they
pass by.
Two exceedingly novel attempts were
made last spring by the smuggling fra
ternity. both of which proved successful.
In one case, late one night. band of men
In Germany began snow balling some vii
layers on Russian territory. and the Rus
slams returned the attack. In the snow
balls thrown from Germany, however,
yards of fine Brussels lace were concealed.
This method proved most successful, for
even the secret police did not discover 1t,
and the guard of the frontier certainly had
no idea of what was going on. Quite as
effcacious vas the bringing In of thou
sands of nihilist proclamations through ST.
lesia under the very eyes of the garrison.
These proclan.ations were in the hollow
slaves carried by body of men who pass
ed themselves off as pious pilgrims enter
ing Russia on sacred journey.

Wooed In the Wet,

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Allen Lester Fowler, a south side Chica-
go society leader, is engaged to be mar
ried to Miss Emma Gibson who resides
with her mother at 1882 Aldine avenue, and
is an extremely engaging young woman of
nineteen summers. The engagement is a
pretty sequel to the terrible experience
Fowler Miss Gibson, James Dalton and a
boy had on the lake yesterday.
The party had started out for a pleasant
sail, and when about five miles out into the
lake sudden storm came up and the boat
was overturned. Fowler succeeded in get
ting Miss Gibson back on the upturned
boat Miss Gibson was the coolest and
least concerned of the party, and his ad-
mira ton Of her courage was unbounded.
Miss Gibson" he said finally, "you are
the pluckiest woman I ever met, and you
are the only woman would make my wife
1 love you, and II we get out Of this want
you to marry me"
.'That's a bargain, wet feet and ALL" re-
piled Miss Gibson.
Shake on it," said Fowler.
They shook, and the wedding will occur
in the early fall.

The Orange Trees Of Florida.

From the jacksonville Fla.) Citizen.
Orange growers all over the state have
reason to feel encouraged. In the more
southern of the orange-growing counties the
trees are in good condition. and an average
crop will be gathered this year. In the Or
ange belt the trees that were killed 70 the
ground by the freeze last February VIII not
bear for two or three seasons, put tne
the center of the orange-growlng region.
The famous Harris grove is in this county,
near the town of Citra. The trees in this
grove were killed to the roots, but since
progress, many of the shoots now measur-
ing ten feet. This growth surrounds the
dead wood of nearly every tree. All the
groves in the orange belt are practically In
the same condition.

The Word "Fad,o

The derivation of this word is possibly
traceable in the Welsh language. BY the
law OF mutation of initial consonrnty No.
culiar to that tongue, the root words ffedc
and medd are convertible terms. Their es.
sential meaning is possession; transitiye or
1ntransitive. posse ession of something. or
the act or being possessed or engrossed by
some occupation or vice. Welsh ncI,I and
Irish, Sanskrit and English mad have siIni-
lar meanings, and are probably kindred
words. The word mad is not common in
Teutonic idioms. so that the Anglo-SaAons
probably bo1 1t from the Welsh. Fad
ts therefore, equally derivabIe from ffedd,
Fortunately, of course. it comes fl ON the
Midland dialects, and ultimately from some
root word common to many members of the
Aryan family Of speech. 1t would be
strange If the two words, mad and fad,
having similar meaning, should be trace
able to the same root.

Protected by a Whistle.
From the San Francisco Call.

The marital troubles of Josephine Ami
raux, an actress, and her husband, Geller
Amiraux, were aired in Judge CamphelIs s
court yesterday afternoon, when the hus-
band was tried for threatening to kill her.
She told of acts of cruelty, and it looked
bad for the defendant. When he went on
the stand he told his story in such a
straightforward manner that the judge al
tered his opinion.
Mrs Amiraux is a little woman, but her
husband testified to over one hundred as
saults within a year by her upon him on
the streets and elsewhere with sticks, cob
blestones, fists or anything that came
hardy. At one end of his watch chain ne
wore police whistle specially to summon
assistance when she attacked him on the
street. not because he was afraid of being
injured by her, but to save him from an
noyance.

sister opposite and describes fabrics and
fxlngs as If at her dressmaker's.
3. Because she climbs to the tops Of
omnibuses, to descend from which demands

A Boundary Monuments Disappear-
RncR.

From the Los Angeles Times.
The granite monument marking the Mexi-
can boundary line at Tia Juana. in San
Diego county. was upset last January by a
flood, shortly after it was erected by the
international boundary commission This
elaborate shaft fell into a quicksand
Strenuous efforts were made to recover it.
The sand was probed to a depth Of twenty
five feet, but no trace of the lost monument
could be found. 1t has been necessary to
buy a new site for another monument, 1O6x
100 feet, and erect a second shaft thereon

friends will be invited and where the cere-
monial receptions will take place
Rooms for Servants.
Still up another flight of stairs, running
from the side and from the back, we
reach the third floor. This floor is de-
voted entirely to the servants and to stor-
age purposes. One room is given to the
apparatus for controlling the hot water
with which the house Is heated, and an
other to linen.
All the rooms on this floor are small.
though comfortable, and are given over to
the numerous women who do the work
Of the house. The finish Of the rooms is
Just the same as on the floor below, hard
wood everywhere and tinted wallis q light
blue generally prevailing.
Reaching the hall again. We walk to the
rear, push open a sliding door, and stand
amazed in one Of the most gorgeous and
beautiful ball rooms that it Is possible
to imagine. The style has evidently been
modelled after tho Francis / room at Fon-
tainebleau. Above your head as you enter
is the music gallery in wrought iron. Di-
rectly opposite and at the other end of
the room Is q panel picture of Queen Eliza
beth, and round about 1t are some colossal
figures, again designed by Karl Bitter.
The two most prominent are of women
holding with each hand a golden wreath
above the head Of the Virgin Queen.
Around about the rooms, and appearing
to be weighed down by the weight of the
ceiling, are more figures by Bitter, splen-
the expression of face and tension of arm.
Pictures line every side of the hall, and
above them the ceiling springs into a
canopy, the whole being lighted from
above. This ball room is about seventy
feet in length and fifty in breadth. 1t has
a highly polished floor. This combination
of picture gallery and ball room is most
effective.
