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 i'll Russian characters can see at
a glance why, as far as this country is
concerned, they do not ''fill a 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 in this country
is 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 clean
the word 'wiedomosti, meaning
"news. is popular as 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
" United States worthy
Of being called The Old News. but it is
certain that there is no newspaper in
1ltfaA.Q United States which formally and
. zataxily 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
ssltFs, Is ingMoscow. There are the
Warsaw Police Gazette, tine Warsaw
PolishwsGazette, the Warsaw Gazette,
TIC Warsaw German Gazette and the
Warsaw Gazette Courier. The Gazette
Courier makes speciality of Geographic
Information, and is not therefore prop
erly speaking gazette courier, whose
title comes from the days of mailcoaches
and newspaper deliveries by messen-
gers on horseback New York Sun.
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 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 i'll proportion and
afterward continued to gain steadily
until health and strength were quite re-
stored. Philadelphia Press.
Sixty Thousand Seeds 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 C'jimson''), the butter
weed, the rag weed and some Of the
vervines produce an enormous number
of seeds, but it is doubtful if any one of
them produces one-fourth as many in
year as the purslane does. st. Louis
