THE CZAR'S SIBERIA PLAN

Those who think the Czar is inslncere about peace will perhaps think he is also insincere about Siberia, but his plan for the special commission which he has appointed to investigate the question of abolshing or limiting the transportation of prisoners to Siberia seems to be a thorough one. The following are the points to be considered by the commis- sion: CD The substitution of some other kind of punishment for that of deporta- tion by courts of justice; (2) the aboli- tion or restriction of administrative eX- ile of peasants and artisans by the com munal authorities; (3) the reorganiza- tion of the system of hard labor and subsequent settlement; (4) the improve ment of the condition of the exiles now in Siberia; (5) the reform of the insti- tutions controlling the transportation and distribution of the exiles; (6) the es
 tablishment of compulsory labor for the benefit of the community as a, preven- tive and penal measure; and CD the pe- cuniary means necessary for carrying

NOT 1LL GONE,

Cotton manufacturing in New Eng land isn't just now in quite as gloomy condition as it might be in. According to the quarterly dividend statement of the Fall River mills, just issued, the sum of $265,525 has been disbursed among the stockholders-a rate of 1.21 per cent. on capitalization of S22, ,023, = GOO as compared with .7S per cent for the preceding quarter. For this quar- ter, ending January 31, sixteen corpora tions paid no dividends. During the quarter ending April 30 it is believed that all of the Fall River mills have made money, but nine of them pass dividends, presumably in order to apply their earnings to debts or to new equip- ment. Four mills declare a per cent. quarterly dividend, but the ordinary rate is 12 per cent, or on basis of per cent. for the full year.
 This isn't bad showing, and it is ex- pected that the next one will be better.

HOPE FOR NCE.

At last there is hope for France. Lieu tenant Colonel Du Paty de Clam has been arrested and shut up. AS long as he was at liberty to roam up and down the beach leaving Q slimy trail there was small hope that justice would be done. Now things look better. There have been few meaner clans in history than Lieutenant Colonel Du Paty de Clam

The skin of the hairy seal has been utilized with great success in the man. ufacture of shoes by a Massachusetts firm. The work to which they are be- ing adapted is, so far, inside work, for which kangaroo skins have hitherto been employed. The expense of the kangaroo skins, owing to the heavy freight from Australia, is so great that the manufacturers have sought for something cheaper to take their place. The hairy seals are caught in large numbers off the coast of Newfoundland ond in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and it is thought that their skins Will come into general use for boot and shoe manufacture.

Scientific study of the effects or al- cohol leads to the same conclusions Tn Germany as elsewhere. German schol- ars have founded and carried on for seven years an International Monthly for Opposing Drinking Customs. Re- gently the journal has published the re- suits of an investigation among the school children of the city of Bonn Of 247 7-year-olds there was not one who had never drank wine, beer or brandy. Twenty-Five per cent. were habitual drinkers of wine or beer, and 8 per cent are regularly fed brandy ito make them strong" These facts seem serious to thoughtful people in Germany just as they would here, and there are signs that Germany will be one of the most fertile fields of temperance work in the next twenty-five years.

4 One of the sideshows at the Paris ex- position will be a reproduction of the notorious beggars' haunt of the Middle Ages, which will be known as Paris in 140o." It has been planned by Mir Coli bert, a pupil of Violet le Due, and the same architect who modelled the mock BastiIe for the last exhibition. The dis trict between Notre Dame des Victo~ fires, near the Bourse, and the Port Saint-Dennis has been reproduced in panoramic fashion, with appropriate limitations In miniature of various mon- uments and buildings. On the Cour des Miracles itself there is theater for the performance of plays by the "truands" and other bad characters of the epoch The Mayfair of the Middle Ages is also shown, and the exhibition, on the whole, promises to prove an attraction as a curious reconstruction of pictur- esoue portion of old Paris.
