RUSSIA'S BUTTER TRADE.
Rapid Development in Her Exports
of the Article ia the Fast
Few Years.

"Russia in recent years has been
creating a large export trade in but.
ter" reports Consul Mahin, at
Reichenberg, to the state depart
ment. The export in 1897 amounted
to 10.0s1,030 pounds, and for the first
ten months in 1900 the exports dou-
bed that amount, being 37,720 ,22O
pounds. The principal increase of
export is in the butter product of
Siberia. To facilitate the trade but
ter trains, equipped with refrigerat-
ing apparatus, have been employed
to transport the goods to the ports
for shipment. During the season
OF 1900 two special trains of 25 cars
each were dispatched weekly loaded
with butter for the Baltic ports,
where in four months 14,42S, 600
pounds of butter were delivered.

SOLDIER COLONISTS.
Government Turning Its Attention
Towards Encouraging Them.
Seeking Reports of toner Countries
which Encourage settlement OF
Discharged Soldiers in Col
Onics Where They Served.

Now that the United States possess
q foreign colony or dependency, it is
expected there will be revival of
the practice of European countries of
expecting soldiers discharged abroad
to remain as colonists. 1t is not bad
idea for healthy young man to enlist
for three years and then serve in the
Philippines with all his expenses paid.
He learns the language and the peo-
pie, and if discharged there gets a
little nest egg of travel pay, which
furnishes him the initial capital for "a
business Investment.
The state departemnt has been seek
ing reports of the methods of foreign
countries. Heretofore somewhat sim
liar experiments had been tried in
other colonies, but they did not re-
spond to the expectations. For in
stance, soldiers who had finished their
service in the colonies were cncour-
aged to settle there, certain facilities
being accorded to them on the condi-
tion that they remained grouped in
assigned villages and more or less un-
der military discipline.
Thus the soldier, becoming a col
onist, recovered only portion of his
independence, and the offers were not
for the most part considered accept
able by the soldiers. who preferred to
return TO their native country.
Gen. GaIlieri, military governor of
Madagascar, has put into practice an
n hr1 bpI N,,li inh HID. Foi, to,
cecd. He GOes not address himself
to liberated soldiers, but to those who
are yet in their third and last year of
service; neither does he require the
creation of villages where rural and
domestic work would be regulated to
the sound Of the drum. He endeavors
to influence men inspired by the senti-
emnt of their responsibility and that
of their personal interest.
The soldier desirous of remaining in
the colony and presenting the usual
guarantees receives concession OF
land in his third year of service. and
is obliged TO commence forthwith the
exploitation of the lot given lRm Dur.
ing the first year, at least, he has not
to trouble himself with the absolute
necessaries of life, as, being still sol
dicr. the state feeds and clothes him
Z Further, the government provides him
with some agricultural instruments
! and Il few head of cattle.
if the military colonist fultills ex
/ pectaiions in his work he is lent little
money at long credit and without in
tercNt; if, on the contrary, he prove
himself unworthy, the concession il
taken from him and he returns to tn,
, ranks.

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
Diplomats Abroad Unable to Find
Suitable Residences Except Mt
Great Expense.

Little is known by the mass of the
people of the difficulties experienced
by diplomatic representatives of the
United States in finding residences in
foreign capitals. 1t frequently occurs
that an American ambassador or min
ister is compelled to give half his sal
airy for house rent. For this reason,
ana because the diplomats are expect
ed to entertain on Il somewhat elabor-
ate scale, it has become necessary to
select those who are financially able
to maintain the dignity of their gov
ernment.
The largest salary paid diplomatic
representatives of this country is $17,-
500, and after half or two-thirds of
this has been expended for rent it
will be seen that IL poor man would
have a hard time to make both ends
meet.
The difficulties of the diplomats are
added to materially by the impression
prevailing abroad that all Americans
are enormously rich, and those who
have anything to rent or sell seldom or
never fail to make American purchas-
ers pay dearly.
1t is not proper for an ambassador
to make his home at hotel, as the
European officials object to calling at
| public houses. When Ambassador
| Nhlte went to Berlin he had serious
time finding home, but after weeks
of house hunting succeeded in getting
comfortably located. Italy is the only
european country which is an eXcep-
tion to this rule. There are many
magnificent palaces in that country
which can be rented at u reasonable
rate. Ambassador Draper leased one
OF these palaces, for which he paid
only 81 1000 a year.

LIVE IN FERRIS WHEEL.
Unique Home Found During Winter
by Two Families of Tramps
in Paris.

When the great Ferris wheel at
Paris was made ready to resume
business, after it's winter closing, two
families of tramps, comprising II
members, with some women and
children, were discovered installed
and living comfortably in two of the
swinging cars. They told the police
they had been camping out thus all
winter. They first entered the cars
one bleak night. They selected the
lowest cars, but one day two en-
gineers, who had been sent to ex-
anime the machinery for some rea-
son, made the great wheel describe
half turn. So the camping families
were hoisted to the topmost position.
Since that time only one man, for
mer sailor, could communicate with
the earth.
Climbing down nightly from the
giddy height by means of the girders
and guy ropes, he would hustle for
food to keep the two tribes alive
The provisions wcreahoisted up with
a rope.
Their existence lasted for two
months, undetected, and on February
% baby girl was born up there
In consider9t tion that she is healthy
little child, the commissary of police
released the whole party. The wheel
company not only refused to press
the charge of trespassing, but offered
the mother and infant a salary of
500 a month to exhibit themselves
throughout the coming season in the
car in which the child was born.

LASHES BETTING IN SOCIETY
Dr. MACARTHUR. the New York Minis
ter, say. the Gambling Wom-
nn ts ia Menace

"When lady will use the attrac.
tions of her home to induce young
men to gamble therein and thus rob
them of their money, she is meaner
than is the proprietor of profession.
al gambling hell" said Rev. DR.. r. S.
Macarthur, of Calvary Baptist church,
the other day in an interview. When
asked about the impetus received by
the movement against gambling in so,
ciety he said: 81 doubt not that
there is much social gambling. |
do not know of single case in my own
church, but ] am frequently told of
cases in which parents put up money
to be won by their children in games
of cards played at their homes. !
know also of certain church women
who frankly acknowledge that they
play games of chance for money, as it
gives zest to the games.
II hold some churches largely re.
sponsible for the mania for gambling
it would be easy to name churches
that encourage games of chance o pay
church debts and to carry on church
enterprises. 1t is contended that the
end being good the means employed
are not bad. This is doctrine OF
devils and not of true relsionists
Such a doctrine would cover almost
any sin.
Gambling of any kind cannot be
spoken against too strongly and
gambling in the social circle is in many
respects particularly disreputable.

1t is an odd fact that in England
the cultivation of tobacco as a crop
is prohibited by a tax so high on
every acre sown with tobacco seed
that no Englishman could afford to
grow it, except as Joseph Chamber
lain grows orchids-as an expensive
fad. The origin of this prohibition
is still more curious. 1t originated
in the reign of Charles H., when
parliament passed law forbiddlng
the growth of tobacco in England for
the express purpose of encouraging
trade with the new colony of Vir-
ginia.

Result Of . Quarrel Over . Card
Game.
Abbeville, s.. c., Jan. 1. - Sheriff
Kennedy Of this county, William Kyle
of Massachusetts,, who has been super
intending the building Of a cotton mill
here, and John Dansby, who was for
several years United States marshal,
are dead as the result Of a shooting at
a card game and an attempt to arrest
the men who did the shooting. Several
persons were playing cards when John
Dansby threw 81 on the table and sail:
"Play for this" The men at the table
refusel and an alteration ensued.
Dansby suddenly drew a pistol and
shot Kyle in the abdomen. He then
backed out of the room, declaring that
he would shoot any one who attempted
to stop him. He was followed by two
policemen, but held them at bay I'M
til Sheriff Kennedy and a number of
citizens arrived. The sheriff called to
Dansby to come out of the house of
his father-in-law, whittier he had f1el,
and surrender. Dansby came out, and,
with the remark, "Well, we'll all go to
hell together" commenced firing.
Dansby was shot twice in the leg and
once in the chest, and the sheriff was
struck near the heart and fell. Dams
by walked fifty steps and was reload.
ing his pistol when he was shot again.
1t is said, by tee dying sheriff. The
sheriff and Dansby died within a few
minutes of each other.

London, Jan. Lord Kitchener re-
ports another British disaster in South
Africa which will tend to still further
increase the depression in England and
in an adverse ratio decrease the New
Years joyousness throughout the
country. Lord K~itchener's dispatch,
which is dated at Pretoria, Dec. 30.
1850 a. M, is as follows:
Gen. Lyttleton reports that u post
al Helvetia was captured yesterday
morning by the Beers. About fifty
were killed and wounded and 200
taken prisoners. Col. Kitchener reports
that he is following with a small force
in the track of the enemy. Helvetia
being ~reoccupied by Reeves, who has
was a very strong position on the
Observation-Disclosures railway, and
was held by a detachment of the Liv-
erpool regiment. Am asking for fur
Their information"
DiscouraEing to BritOns.
The revelations of an enormously
wide field Of Boer activity are discour-
aging to the Britons. Gen Dewet is
still at large. Kimberley Is isolated.
The Beers are in force enough to have
captured a strong position at Helvetia,
in the Lydenburg district, while, judg-
ing from Lord Kitchener's very recent
advices no progress is being made
against the Boer invaders in Cape Col
ony. The Beers are said to have two
or three horses each, though in bad
condition. They have no guns or
transport, but are well supplied with
Lee-Metford rifles and ammunition.
Captured Beers say that the intention
Of these commanders is to about
and wait until Gen. Dewet appears on
the scene.
All dispatches arriving in London
agree that the Cape Dutch show no
inclination to rise, but or the contrary,
appear to be tired of the war and de-
sirous Of peace. Many refuse to sup
ply the Beers with food and are willing
to give information to the British re-
garding Boer movements.
