Professor Nikiticuko's memoirs are
likely to be interesting. He was former
ly at the St. Petersburg university, and
gives some account of the ways of the
censor in Russia. The censor once sent
for the writer of q dream book, and
asked him why he believed that the stars
had an influence on mems lives. As the
author could give no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION, the book was condemned.
The censor Jclagof ordained that pas
sage in book ON Siberia, stating that
dogs were used in that country for drag
ging carts, must be cut out, because
this statement had not yet been Endorsed
by the government. Some years ago
there was cattle show ut Warsaw, and
Polish paper spoke about the Mecklen-
burg cows to be seen there.

Paintings also are subject to censor

a picture-called "Advice From the Land

resented going to the lord of the knout.

BishOp FallOws' Saloon.

The Home saloon of Bishop Fallows,
i'll Chicago, fools great many old to-
pers. His idea is to make the place as
much like first class saloon rs possible
and to sell in it something as much like
beer as science could concoct without its
being the real thing. The saloon has o
big bar, with substantial rail, from
which hang half dozen towels. Back
of the bar is white coated bartender,
and back of him are big mirrors and
rows Of shelves, covered with black bot
ties bearing gaudy labels. A row of
lemons and a bowl of cracked ice help
tomake up the illusion. Every day some
thirsty victim wanders in and orders
beer" He gets glass of foaming
something that cools, may cheer, but
can't inebriate The victim usually
gulps it down, then opens and shuts his
mouth and tries to recall the taste, while
q puzzled look spreads over his face.
Sometimes he asks questions, but usu
ally he walks slowly away. wondering
whether or not his stomach is all right.

President Polk's Nashville Home.

The old Polk place ON Vine street, tho
homo of President James X. Polk, and
the scene of many brilliant gatherings in
former days, is viewed with interest by
many visitors to Nashville. Many ex-
pressions of regret are heard from those
who view the picturesque Polk place for
the first time that the historic old home
stead should have been allowed to fall
into such state Of dilapidation. They
think the old place should be maintain
ed in good repair for the sake Of the
memories that surround it. It has been
suggested more than once that it would
make an ideal home for the official resi-
dence of Tennessee's governors The
excuse that can be very properly offered
by Nashvillians for the present condi-
tion of the Polk place is that they have
nothing to do with it, the property being
in litigation. It is feared that ultimate.
", in the division Of the property, the
old place will be cut up into lots, aud
if that is done the home of Polk will

Curious Cslabrian Customs Which May Dc
Observed In New York.
In the Italian quarter found myself
the other day in home which had been
darkened by double misfortune. A lit
tie Italian boy had fallen from a fire es-
cape to the street and been instantly
killed. His widowed mother, when she
came upon the body Of her son, went
mad with grief and attempted to take
her own life. She was taken to the hos
pital.
The boys body lay upon o table, and
q blazing candelabrum stood at its head.
At the side the boys foster father and
his wife knelt in prayer. Seated about
the room was o group of women chant
ing an Italian death vail One Of the
women raised her face, and her Quavcr-
ing voice filled tho room:
Happiness has departed from US for

And the others droned the refrain:
"Foreverv'
"He will never be absent from our
thoughts"
"Never from our thoughts!'
And so on, strophe and antistrophe,
the chief waller leading and the chorus
echoing the dismal refrain. 1t was a
sight and sound to move even the
tardy sensibilities of o reporter.
Such scenes are not uncommon in the
Italian quarter, though they seldom
come under the eye of visitors. The pro.
fessional mourner is an institution in
some of the provinces of southern Italy.

Drink beer! Don't drink beer!

Drink beer! Don't drink beer!
This seems like very contradictory
advice, but, nevertheless, it is the
condensed opinions of two great
classes Of people. There are some
who believe that a glass of beer is a
healthful. invigorating beverage.
There are others who regard beer as
. sort OF disguised poison. And the
strangest thing about it is that both
opinions may be right under certain
conditions.
The fact of the matter is that q
glass of beer may be either benefit
or a curse, according to the health
of the person who drinks it. II a
man or woman is in sound health it
may do good. II, on the other hand,
there is q weak spot in the liver or
kidneys, injury will result from the
drinking. One OF the gre .test proofs
that liver complaint is more COM
mon than we suspect is the Oft
repeated romark of beer drinkers:
Il wish hadn't taken that glass"
In this way beer actsas barometer,
which shows the state of the health.
If you drink glass OF beer and soon
after commence to feel that some
thing is wrong in the small of your
back, or have a dull, heavy feeling,
a bad taste in the mouth, and, per-
haps, the first stages of headache,
you may be sure that your liver and
kidneys need prompt attention.
Neglect the warning. and more SER
ious results are bound to follow
sooner or later.
These great vital organs are the
first to indicate disease, and when
they are out of order the miserable
sensations above described are sure
to be felt. When this is the case, il
is cheaper and wiser to remedy mat.
ters before more serious conse.
quences follow. Then it is time to
tone up the body, purify the blood
and resore healthy action to the
liver and Kidneys. For this purpose
there has never been but one rem.
edy, and that is Warmers Safe Cure,
which for years has been recognized
as the greatest and best health re-
storer in the world. Physicians
everywhere acknowledge it. Thous-
ands of men and women gladly tes-
tify to its splendid effects. 1t il,

Indebtedness of Virginia Farmers

The leading results of the inyes-

ginia are shown in bulletin just
issued by the Census Department:
In regard to farms the cOnclu-
sion is that 80 0G per cent. of farm
families hire and 61.93 per cent.
own the farms cultivated by them;
that 3.16 per cent. of the farm
owning families own subject to in
cunbrance. Among 100 farm
families 80 hire their farms, 2 own
with incumbrance, and 60 without
incum brance. On the owned
farms there are liens amounting to
So, 304,3 which is 47.60 per cent.
of their value, and this debt bears
interest at the average rate of 6.0G
per cent, making the average an
nual interest charge $40 for each

bered farm, on the average, is
worth $2,747, and is subject to
