Russia to Cultivate Tea.

The Russian people are fond of tea, and efforts are being made to develop import ant tea plantations in the Caucasus. Nearly half a century ago it was found that the tea plant could be grown in gardens on the shores of the Black Sea, but at first 1t was cultivated only as a curiosity or for ornament. Since 1890 plantations of considerable extent have been formed. and while the cultivators have not succeeded in initiating the fine flavors of Chinese. Ceylonese or Indian teas, yet the demand among the peasants for tea of some kind Is so great that even the Caucasian variety finds a market The Russian Government Is trying to en- courage the cultivation.

 At a summer resort some distance from Boston Is a little Catholic Church where most of the congregation are Portuguese. and the priest Is of the same nationality. One Sunday morning this summer, after delivering his sermon, he announced "On next Sunday there will be sermon in Portuguese for the Portuguese and in English for the Irish"

istered Under the Law.
Des Moines, Jan. 3-The Iowa hoar@
of veterinary examiners has CLOSED
it's registration books, after register
ing about 400 non-graduate and It's
graduate veterinaries. The exact
number cannot be known at present
but it is estimated at total of a
little less than GOO. The official reg
lister will be issued in about two
months.
The registration by veterinaries
with the state board of examiners
was made necessary by the enact
ment of a new law along these lines
by the Twentieth general assembly,
which makes it unlawful for prac-
titioner, after January !, to follow
the profession unless he has regis
tered with the board, or unless he
is a graduate of legally chartered
and authorized college at the time
of the passage of the act, or holds
diploma from such an institution dat.
ed prior to 1901 and has registered
with the board.
In the future no certificates au'
thorizing the practice of veterinary
surgery, medicine or dentistry will be
issued until the applicant has been
examined and declared proficient by

To Collect the Cigarette Tax.

Fort Dodge, Jan. 2.-County Attor'
ney Chantland has issued notice
to the assessor S OF the different town
ships in the county calling upon them
to return the names of all cigarette
dealers in the county in order that
the $500 assessment may be collected
as provided by law. The action is
directly traceable to the recent &C:
ton of the American Tobacco Com
pany, as the result of a decision by
the United States supreme court in
Tennessee, where the cigarette law
is practically identical with the law
of Iowa, which worsted the dealers.
The action of the county attorney has
caused a great sensation among the
tobacco dealers. Polk county was
the only county in Iowa to antici-
pate Webster in this step.
