RELIEVING DISTRESS IN FINLAND.
Russian Action an Agreeable Surprise
Large Sums Distributed.

ST Pstersburs Feb. THE correspondent oil Inc
Associated Press returned here yesterday tfohi
Helsngfors. He found the measures loF 'he ieilel
of distress in Finland to be apparently eNceheht,y
orsanized. The distribution of funds is carefully
supervised The Finnish National Reief Lonir'-
Tee has received Sic 900 from American rcheL ol-
ganizations. General surprise and gratitude are en-
pressed at the large contributions which the COM
,nittee has received. Other foresn countries have
contributed $1,000, and in Russia $23,7bo has peeil
collected, including $4,000 from the Russian f<ed
Cross Society, of which the Dowager Czarlna Is
protecress 5000 from the Car and $1,000 from the
Czarewitch
The Firms are agFeeaby astonished al the fact
that the imperial gifts and the Russian contrihu-
tons through the official st. Petersburs committee,
organized by Minister Won PlehVe, Win Aainlfd'
Craemer chairman, were sent 10 the flhhisl
committee instead Of the Governor, General Bopri-
koff. The Governor, however, is receiving the
funds collected by the 'NoEoe Nrenya All ms
is regarded significant. since General Bppila2lt
in his official organ declared that justice demanded
that in the distribution of the goVernHehtat iua0
decided preference must be given TO the comnuiles
whose inhabitants obeyed the military service de-
cree. The Finlanders regard this as tantamount 10
an admission that the money nassing through Gen
eraI BebFikohs hands is used against the Finnish
cause.
The total amount of the funds now at the dis
position Of the Finnish committee. including $43Vo
which remained from the previous famine fund'
amounts to S1N09l. Owing to the Generalization
caused by the distribution OF money at the time OF
the last famine. the committee now restricts help

STATUES HAVE SMALLPOX.
Epidszn2c of Disease Among Bronze
Figures I'm Athens-Hovv They
Are Affected.

A most extraordinary disease, ex-
tremely infectious and resembling
smallpox among human beings, has
broken out among the statues in the
Egyptian room of the National mu-
scum here, says an Athens (Greece)
correspondent of the New York
Times. A few days ago the distin-
guished politician and archaeologist.
Mr.. Stephanos Skouloudes, noticed
some strange green marks on one of
the bronze statues of the famous
Egyptian collection presented to the
museum in 1881 by Mr.. Demetrios, of
Alexandria. He at once communi-
Gated his discovery to the curator,
who called in experts to examine the
statue in question. They pronounced
the marks to be due to an infectious
complaint, to which bronze is liable,
and which gradually spreads from
the surface of the object affected TO
the inside. till the whole crumbles
away into dust. The other bronze
statues in the same room were then
inspected, with the result that thew
were all found to be more or less
tainted with the disease, while five
of them had taken it in a most ap-
gravated form. These five are the
statues of ANITA, the goddess of war;
of Maout, wife of Jupiter Ammon;
of Isis, and two statues of Osiris. one
of them of the greatest value. Worse
that that, the infection has spread
to the Mycenaean room, which con-
tains the results of the late DIR.
Settlements excavations in 1875.
There a dagger. which was found in
the fourth and finest of the six
tombs, has fallen victim to the mall
ady. Altogether about fifty statues
are badly affected, and the loss will
be enormous unless the plague can
be stayed. A leading Athenian
chemist pronounces the cause of the
malady to be the presence of salt in
the bronze of which the statues are
made, and his remedy is to extract
it by means of baths. Mr.. Momphe-
matos, the minister under whose de-
partment the museum comes, is tax
ing steps to save the bronzes.

coast. Now trainloads of cattle,
sheep aud hogs are sent out from
this country, and several firms are
engaged in shipping.
Holbrook & Bishop, of Garfield,
shipped eight carloads of fat hogs.
These hogs came from Camas Prai-
rle, over the Northern Pacific. Two
weeks ago this firm shipped ten
carloads of hogs over the same route.
The firm is feeding 125 head Of
steers on Penewawa Creek, which
will soon be sent to coast markets.
Hogs are now selling for from $685.
to $715 per 100 pounds, and cattle
form $500 to $3.50. At these prices
farmers are making big profits, and
hundreds of miles of hog-tight fence
is being built on the farms, so that
hogs may be raised more cheaplv
than by feeding grain the entire
year.
Hay is higher in the Palouse
country than it has been in many
many years. Grain hay sells from
VIZ to $l5 per ton, while timothy
hay readily brings SIS. There is a
large amount of timothy raised in
this country and the amount is in
creasing each year. This is true of
all the leading tame grasses, in
GLIDING alfalfa, bronze grass and
clovers. Farmers are devoting more
time and attention TO stock raising
and find it necessary to raise feed
for the stock. AS result they are
rapidly getting into diversified farm
ing and livestock, fruit and dairy
products are becoming greater each
year, the Importance of the three
industries being in the order men
toned. Of course wheat and other
grains still rank as the most i'm
portant products of the country.
Potatoes have been a profitable
crop for number of years, and a
large acreage was grown last year,
but early rains prevented many
acres of potatoes from being dug
last fall and many farmers thought
their work was wasted But exam
ination disclosed the fact that a
large per cent. of the potatoes passed
through the winter without injury
and these have recently been dug
and are being shipped out of the
country.-Star.
