RUSSIAN NEWSPAPERS.
In the Cars Country There Are Many
Journals With Odd Names.


Journals With Odd Names.
Newspapers printed in the Russian
language are not circulated nor read
generally in the United States, and any
one who has ever made even a cursory
examination of Russian newspaper
printed in Russian characters can see at
a glance why, as far as this country is
concerned, they do not ''till long felt
want. ="
In the naming of Russian newspapers
such journalistic titles as Sun, Gazette,
Press, Observer, Star, Courier, Bulletin,
Advertiser and Eagle do not prevail,
but in place of these more descriptive
titles are used The humorous newspa-
per of St. Petersburg is called The
Weekly Schut, or, translated, The Fool.
The medical journal of st. Petersburg,
published under authority of the war
office, is The Russian Invalid. The Off
cial morning newspaper of Moscow is
The Viedomosti Gorodskoe Politsii, 9TH
erise The Police Gazette The Russian
newspaper best known IL this country
il the daily Novoye Vremya, or The
New Times. of st. Petersburg.
One of the illustrated st. Petersburg
weeklies is called The Neva, after the
river which flows through that capital,
and two weekly newspapers longest es-
tablished in the city of Moscow are The
Boudilnik and The Krougozor, other
wise The Alarmer and The Horizon.
For some reason which is not very clear
the word ''wiedomosti, meaning
news" is popular as a newspaper de-
signation in the city of Moscow. There
are four daily newspapers in Moscow
having this title-The Russian News,
Modern News, Moscow News and Old
News. The Old News is maintained for
the republication of articles from other
newspapers. There are perhaps some
newspapers in the United States worthy
of being called The Old News. but it is
certain that there is no newspaper in
the United States which formally and
voluntarily would assume that title.
The official newspaper of Warsaw is
the Warsaw Police Gazette, and the
word gazette" (gazeta) is as popular
with Warsaw editors as the word
"news" is in Moscow. There are the
Warsaw Police Gazette, the Warsaw
Polish Gazette, the Warsaw Gazette,
the Warsaw German Gazette and the
Warsaw Gazette Courier. The Gazette
Courier makes speciality of Geographic
information, and Is not therefore prop
erly speaking a gazette courier, whose
title comes from the days of mailcoaches
and newspaper deliveries by messen-
gers ON horseback. New York Sun.

His Free Confession.

The following story, which halls from
q north country town, shows there are
widely varying ideas as to what consti-
tutes voluntary testimony on any SUBJ
ject.
"Did understand you to say that
this boy voluntarily confessed his share
in the mischief done to the schoolhouse2'
asked the magistrate. addressing the de-
termined looking female parent of a
small and dirty boy.
"Yes, sir, he did," the woman re-
sponded. II just had TO persuade him
a little, and then he told me the whole
thing voluntarily"
''How did you persuade him?" que
ried his worship
"Well, first | gave him good hid
ing, said the firm parent, land then l
put him TO bed without any supper and
took his clothes away and told him he d
stay in bed till he confessed what he d
done if twas the rest of his days, and
l should thrash him again in the morn
ing. And in less than an hour he told
me the whole story voluntarily Pear

Big Cotton Presses.

OF the many cotton presses which
were in operation in New Orleans 60
years ago the two principal ones were
the Levee cotton press and the Orleans
cotton press. They were large and mass
i've buildings, each occupying, like most
of the others, a square Of ground. The
Levee cotton press was built in 1882 by
company bearing the same name at a
cost of $500, 600 and was two stories
high. 1t compressed some 200, 200 bale
of cotton year. The Orleans press, also
fronting on the river, occupied an area
of $50 feet by 30S, the buildings nearly
covering the whole space. This press,
which was begun in 1888 and completed
in 1885, cost over 1888, 900, compressed
about 100, 600 bales per annum and
could store %, 600 bales of cotton. Its
immense length gave it very imposing
appearance from the river. New Or

The Nutritious Marrow.

A grateful mother has just told of the
almost miraculous cure of her grown up
son by the very simple means advised
by an eminent physician. 1t was case
of debility and emaciation that nothing
could seem to reach until the physician
in question prescribed remedy that he
has found remarkably efficacious in
treating weak invalids and delicate chill
dren. This was nothing more than the
eating of an unlimited amount of mar
row. Every day large quantity OF the
bones containing marrow was ordered
from the great markets The only prep
aration necessary was to warm the
marrow sufficiently to enable it to be
easily spread on bread. Then, with the
addition of a little salt to render it
more palatable, it was ready to do its
work of regeneration. Under this treat
ment the patient mentioned gained dur
ing the first two weeks ten pounds OF
flesh and strength in proportion and
afterward continued to gain steadily
until health and strength were quite re-
stored. philadelphia Press.

The blind Girl.

She would never see the sun rise
again, never watch the dawn flushing
over that low belt of frs that marked
the verge of the meadow. And her pic
lures, the tentative studies OF which
had constituted her keenest pleasure,
they would never be painted. No one
but herself would ever know how the
sun looked when it sank over hill field
green with the first green OF spring,
while far distant along the horizon the
trees were bare in exquisite tracery
against sky of palest violet. =.
All, the days, the days! She would
be "poor Grace" Her cousins would
surround her with their cheerful conso-
latory pity. their quiet, practical ac-
ceptance of an extra care. She would
never be free again.
And then suddenly, in crash OF ter
Tor, she saw the years, endless, innu-
merable, relentless from sinister gulf OF
time. Twice 10 was 3S. She might i've
her whole life over again and not be
middle aged. She might treble the num-
Der of her years and still not be old.

molding and tinting into life this struc-
ture already so absolutely organic, so fit
to live. For its curves and vaultings,
its cupolas mutually supported, the
weight Of each carried by all; the very
color of the marbles, brown, blond, liv-
ing colors, and the irregular symmetry,
flowerlike, of their natural patterning,
are all seemingly organic and ready for
vitality. Time has added that, with the
polish and dimming alternately of the
marbles and billowing of the pavement,
the slanting of the columns, and last,
but not least, the furnishing of the gold

of vault and vault, cupola and cupola,

up of new details gathered at once into
the great general balance of lines and

whether the service was good or bad, as
he never ate it, and then he started for

A Toad r~ enty Thousand Year. Old.

TOAD Tw enty Thousand Years DID,
There is something wonderful about
toad life which has never yet been salts
factorily explained by the naturalist.
We refer 10 their ability to live for un-
told ages when shut out from water air,
light and food. That toads have this re-
markable faculty of sustaining life I'M
der adverse circumstances is not denied
by the best authorities we have on ge-
ology and natural history. Below We
append copy of letter written by q
well known geologist to Amelia B. Ed
wards, the authoress: II suppose you
have often heard of toads being found
in solid rocks. coal blocks, ETC., when
the same were opened by the workmen's
picks. / have today just seen one taken
from bed of clay in railroad cut near
here. 1t is alive, but very inactive and
semitorpid. 1t seems TO have no bones
and is so limp that its legs bend in any
direction. 1t has two beautiful eyes and
mouth that has grown tightly shut,
what little breathing it does being done
through the nostrils. The clay in which
the creature was found is of the glacial
variety and is supposed to have been de-
posted 90, 900 TO 80, years ago.
There is no doubt but that this wonder
full toad was alive at least 10, 900 to 49,,
600 years before Noah built the ark. -

sixty Thousand Seed. to the Plant.

The common purslane is one of the
wonders of botany, as far as seeds are
concerned at least. A single seed of this
plant will produce about 20 seed pods
in season. The average number OF
seeds in each of these, by actual count,
is 6, 900, making 10000 in all. AS far
as we have been able to learn there is
no instance Of similar fruitfulness in
any plant found growing in this coun-
try. A single plant Of either the James
town weed ('jimson"). the butter
weed, the rag weed and some OF the
vervines produce an enormous number
of seeds, but it is doubtful IL any one OF
them produces one-fourth as many in
year as the purslane does. St Louis

Ink on Tickers.

In every stock and news ticker is a
little steel type wheel, from which the
imprints are made. 1t is a costly piece
of work, and when the ticker was first
introduced the company controlling
them was embarrassed to find that the
ink used had such corrosive effect that
after few days use the wheel was
worthless By way of experiment one of
the steel heels was placed in bath of
ink In "a hours it had disappeared en-
tirely. An operator who has since be-
come reporter set to work and patent
ed an ink which is now used in all tick
ers. By its use the life of a type wheel
is prolonged to nine years. The ink is
absolutely noncorrosive. New York
