The Passport In Russia.

The train slows down as 1t crosses
the frontier, and creeps gently up to
the platform of the first station on
Russian soil. Furtively peeping out
Of the window, you behold a number
of stalwart men uniformed in the Rus
sian style, and wearing the peculiarly
RUSSIAN top boots. The polite conduc-
tor comes to the compartment and
bids you get the passport ready. At
ter few minutes Of waiting, during
which anxiety Is not diminished, an
officer in smart gray-blue uniform
comes alongA attended by a soldier
with wallet He demands the pre-
cious document, and noting its for
elgn origin, casts upon its possessor a
keen, searching glance. Then he looks
for the all-lmportant visa or indorse-
ment of the Russian official in the
country of issue; and on finding 1t he
passes coldly on without a word. All
this Is very formal and impressive;
you feel as a prisoner feels when the
chain of evidence Is tightening round
him; your thoughts wander back to
indscretion of your insignificant
youth may not now be brought up in
testimony against you.
The utmost care is taken in the
study and registration of these docu-
ments every Russian must have his
passport; every foreigner entering or
leaving the country must have it, too.
Whether native or alien. you cannot
move about the country without the
document; when you arrive in a town
it must be submitted to the local po-
lice; when you leave that town the po-
lice must indorse the passport with
their sanction to the journey. The
system gives the authorities the firm
est hold over the people; and wise is
the stranger who complies carefully
with every part Of the formality.-

In old Egypt there was a burial
place for sacred cats as well as for
sacred bulls. A cemetery of cats ex-
listed near Bubastis. A few years ago
Monsieur Naville found buried in the
mound the ruined temple. of Bast or
Pasht, the cat goddess. who gave her
name to the city.
The foundation of Buoastis carries
us back to the period of the builCing
OF the great Egyptian pyraraids. The
Bubastis Of the Egyptians is the same
as the Artemis of the Greeks, who is
generally said to be the same as the
Diana of the Romans. a goddess of
light, representing the moon. So Bast.
or Pasht was connected with the cat
on the one hand and the moon on the
other. Accordingly it is quite possible
that puss, when she figures as a SYM
boil in the Egyptian worship, repre-
sents something in'astronomy and in
the calendar.
ovid calls the cat the sister of the
moon, and says that Pasht took the
form of a cat to avoid Typhon. Ac.
cording to Plutarch, cat placed In a
lustrum denoted the moon. 1t is stated
by some writers that the "catv was
an interclary month, added in the one
hundred and twentieth year to rectlfy
the calendar.

New York Especial. .)-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade" says:
Continued favorable weather eondi-
lions have resulted in the saving OF
much latc-planted corn, and in the
Northwest ideal weather for spring
wheat harvest has been enjoyed. AS
this is the point that business in all
parts OF the country has been most
carefully watching, the general feeling
IS better than a week ago.
Official returns OF pig iron produc-
ion in the first half OF the year show a
record-breaking aggregate OF 7,674,7I3
tons, exceeding the remarkable output
of the previous year by 32,o44 tons.
Violent fluctuations have marked
the course OF corn prices. The top
point OF the previous week was not re-
gained. but traders on the short side Of
the market were compelled to cover at
loss. The decrease in marketing is
not in proportion to the advance in
price. Whatever benefit may have ac-
crued from the high level OF prices, it
certainly has driven foreign buyers out
Of the market, Atlantic exports for the
week amounting to only 764,I78 bush
els, against 3,To6o3f year ago. Wheat

legitimate trading it is especially act

The eggs that hatch out white grubs
are laid by the May beetle, which usu-
ally does not come till about June
with us. The eggs are deposited in
thin grass, as rule, so the young
grubs can live on the roots when they
latch out. They are three years get
ting their growth. The last year they
are very large and white. Now, as a
rule, the beetle will not lay any eggs
in thick, heavy clover and grass. Al
the time she comes such clover and
grass completely covers and shades
the ground. Instinct teaches her moi
to lay her eggs in such a place. II
would be too damp and cool for them
TO hatch, She goes to an old, run-out

and the sun can get in better.
Sometimes eggs may be laid under

Some years ago. when in charge of

trains of sugar canes, loaded in open
sided trucks, were worked over a sec
tlon of the line from the plantations
to the usine centrale, some miles dis
tant, and the three first miles of the
single-line railway passed through n
forest with trees quite close to the
rails, up n very steep gradient and
around sharp curves. When the first
down passenger train from Port Louis
had passed the crossing station the
loaded cane train was dispatched t.
ward the summit. In the meantime,
some monkeys in the forest had timed
the passage of the descending passen-
ger train, and had fixed sentinels. who
slgnaled to their expectant comrades
on trees the approach of the cane
train. AS the train went crawling up
the incline troop Of monkeys sprafig
upon each wagon, ten forming the
train. and threw off quite a goodly
number of canes, which were gath
cred up as the train slowly passed on
ward. These depredations became so
serious that the planter appointed a
watchman to patrol this length" but
the "malgaches" have a superstitl0us
dread Of killing monkey. which they
term "di monde meme" in Creole. The
looting of these trains by these ma
rauders was, however. ultimately
stopped by other means.-The Specta-

know 1t Is considered quite the thing
nowadays to send the milk away to
get rid of the care and work of max.
ing 1t up. And no doubt there Is some.
thing In this; but the pleasure of max.
Ing my own butter is great enough to
overbalance and more than overbal.
ance the few cents pound 1t costs me
to do my work.
l have thought OF this many times
since, and | am convinced that there
is more in this good woman's side Of
the argument than most of us would
be willing to confess. No doubt It is
saving of strength In some ways to
send the milk to the creamery. With
many farmers wives this Is no small
item. They have so much else to do
that they do not derive the pleasure in
caring for the milk at home. But there
Is satisfaction in converting the
sweet, pure milk into golden butter.
The entire process Is one full of inter.
cot. whether we stop to think of 1t or
not. The way by which the cream
rises Is mystery to most of us. Why
Goes 1t separate from the milk? Take,
then, the process of churning; that is
a strange thing to many. The study
of these things is highly interesting.
Then. the satisfaction of using your
own butter Is worth great deal. Not
all of us can quite enjoy the butter
which we buy. Who made it? Was
he clean in all his ways? What was
the condition of his stables? Were
his cows well cared for? Were they
sound physically? We would like to
know. But here Is our own butter.
How beautiful 1t looks! Fresh, sweet
and pure as the crisp grass and the
crystal water could make it. We are
not afraid to put it on the tables for
the use OF the king. and we can recon-
mend 1t TO the most fastidious pur-
chaser.-E. l.. Vincent, in Nebraska

Nor the lightning's seattle avert;
With troubles we may be bowed,
Though ever upon the alert;
But why should our folly the soul en-

soiliug Crops For Fruit Culture

Professor III. e. Van Deman, of Vir-
ginia. delivered an address before the
Western New York Horticultural So
ciety, from which the following notes
are taken:
The cowpea is recommended for
trial as an orchard catch crop and nj
trogen gatherer. The early kinds are
the only ones to grow here. The cow
pea will grow anywhere corn will,
and is no more tender than corn. 1t
VIII mature in seyenty-hve to 100
days, and is such rapid grower that
SIX weeks to two months time will
give wonderful growth and add a
great deal of the most valuable kind
of humus to the soil
Sow one bushel Of seed per acre
Just before the last cultivation. Sow
broadcast, drill In with the grain drill,
or, better still, SOW in drills and culti-
vate. At the Olden fruit farm, in Mis-
souri,, where they sow 500 to 1000
acres every year, they turn in several
hundred hogs after the apples are
picked and let them eat the cowpeas.
They get several carloads of good pork
without costing anything for grain.
The cowpea Is the salvation of South
ern agriculture, and there is more in
IL for Northern agriculture than most
people imagine.
The Canada pea Is q wonderful
plant to add fertility to The soil. Sow
It at the time of the last cultivation
or drill ii in between the rows. 1t
VIII live long after frosts come.
Rye, buckwheat and even turnlps
are useful to sow in order to add hu-
mus to the soil. They should be
piowed under in the spring as soon as
the ground Is fit. Winter vetch is an
other crop that will catch the nitrogen
OF the air. 1t is pod-bearlng plant,
ana should be plowed under very
early in the spring.
Sow twelve to fifteen pounds of
crimson cloverseed per acre. Cover
two to three inches deep. The cause
OF many failures has been In not GOV.
e"ing deep enough. The soil should
have enough moisture in 1t to caprv
the young plant for four or Ave weeks.

Thanks mainly to the munificence Of
NJ. Paul Meurice, says the Westmins-
ter Gazette. Paris Is about to be pro-
vided with Victor Hugo Museum.
The house which is to be used for the
purpose is the one In which the poet
lived from 1888 TO 184s, and In which
much of his most successful work
was written. Among the treasures
with which the building will be
stocked are library of some 5000 vol.
umcs, large collection Of drawings
made by Victor Hugo himself and a
number OF bronze and marble busts.
Under present arrangements the mu'
scum will be formally opened on Feb
ruary 20. 1902. This date is particu
larly appropriate. inasanuch as It is
TINT OF the centenary OF the poets
birth.

Llvs.wIRe FISHING.
Every Fish That Gets within Ton Feet os
the Net Ia Caught.

| the Net u Caught.
1t is positively shocking the way
they are catching fish at the plant of
the ST. Anthony Falls Water Power
Company. This, too. in face of large
! sign on which is inscribed in plain let
ters: mo Fishing Allowed; Keep on"
But. then. only the immediate attaches
Of the power house are privileged.
The electricians have become 40
used to working wonders by electric
ity-such a miracle, for instance. as
running the street railways of two
cities without scarcely having to turn
hand themselves-that they are In
the habit of calling the mysterious
mud to their assistance whenever 1t is
convenient to do so.
They started out early in the season.
which did not open until Wednesday.
to fish in the legitimate way, but fail
Ing to get any fish to speak Of by hook,
they determined to catch them, IL Dos
sible, by crook-to electrocute them.
Since then fish have responded with
such wonderful alacrity to the novel
bait that few minutes sport will
give the new fisherman "a nice mess"
The sight would bring tears to the
eyes Of Ike Walton, who believed cart
for arts sake" who accounted IL n
more creditable performance to catch
one fish an hour by patient, painstak-
ing, philosophic endeayor. than to
slaughter the finny tribe on the whole
sale plan In short order.
At the power house they take a good
I've wire, properly insulated. where
the angler holds It. and stick the same
into the water. Water is a good con-
ductor, as everybody knows. and
every time a fish comes within ten or
twelve feet of the centre of disturb
ance he Is conducted to the surface.
He is not dead-he is simply shocked
into insensibillty by his sensational re-
ceptlon, and If left to his own re-
sources would soon be himself again.
But the cruel man on the ledge of ma
sonry which juts out into the river
around the power house. through
which the tail race comes pouring.
reaches deftly into the water and
scoops up the unfortunate fish with a
net.
Perch, sinners, bullheads. crappies
and an occasional sturgeon are caught
in this way. One of the electricians
who was directing the mighty ma
chinery which generates 10000 horse
power, said that he had caught n
sturgeon early in the spring which
weighed twenty pounds. He said that
an ordinary current of electricity was
strong enough to bring the most OBJ
streperous fish to the surface in most
cases. He had to hand the sturgeon
considerably more than the average
before he could make him 'lIe still and
be quiet"
Sometimes simple iron plate with
electrical connections Is used. 1t is
hung over the side of the wall into the
river and does the work as effectu-
ally as the wire apparatus. The law
does not specifically forbid electric
hshing, but Game Warden Fullerton
