sERvIA's PRESS CENSORSHIP.
Misfortune Which BefeH a Pains taking Publisher Illustrates
 Its Severity.

Seryia is taking leaf out of the book of Russia in her censorship of the press. To conduct an opposition newspaper has become an offense to the Servfan government, says the New York Commercial Advertiser AL though the liberty of the press is supposed to be guaranteed by the constitution, that liberty is casuistic- ally interpreted to mean a federation to publish so long as nothing un- pleasant to the government is put into print, with risk of confscation if the gracious indulgence of the government be abused. The chief op- position paper, the Odjek, has been puzzled of late how to fill its col umns. It has already been warned, and dares not give open expression to the faith and principles which it was founded to promulgate. The Od- jek, therefore, one day, having four blank columns to occupy, and hay ing neither news nor advertisements sufficient to fill them, printed selec- tion of psalms from the Old Testa- ment. This was worse than ever
 The whole impression was seized by the police at the order of the censor, and the reason was given that ''the psalms had been chosen on account of their supposed political tendency"

Spread of vexetarianism.

In considering the practical side of the vegetarian question it should be remembered that at least seven-tenths of the population of the globe never eat flesh meat. In India, China, Japan and adjacent countries there are about 4oo,ooo,ooo people, strong, active, healthy, long-lived, who eat no flesh meat. In Europe are the peasants of Russia, the Corsican farmers, the Scotch highlanders, and other vege- tarian peoples we'll developed physical ly and capable of great endurance.- Chicago Post.

Although Secretary Root of the war department has temporarily N side tracked the opium business in the Phil ippines in order to get the people to quit thinking about it, says our Wash ington correspondent, it undoubtedly is the intention of the American admin istration to establish an opium monop- oly in those islands. When it does 1t will receive a rake-off amounting to $15O,00O per annum. This sort of monopoly should work wonders in the archipelago. The merits of opium as 6 Christianizing and civilizing agency are we'll established. Perhaps the gov ernment obtained valuable pointers from Downing street in regard to the advantages of an opium monopoly. The British have done a lucrative and f1ourishing business in opium ever since they introduced it in China. Consider ing the splendd effects which the dope has produced in the Celestial regions, Taft's government has every reason to be exuberantly optimistic about the consequences toN follow the setting up of an opium monopoly in the Philippine Islands. The dope should prove more efficacious than Bibles and guns.

MARRIED FARM HAND.

Wholly surprising and sensational IS IS the wedding of pretty A-years-old Miss Winnifred Swinnerton to John F. Casweil of Stamford, for Miss Swln- merton is the daughter of a re1rel Corgregational clergyman of that place, and the bridegroom is a farm hand. The bridegroom is man of 45. The marriage took place very quietly, and when the news of it got out MT Swinnerton was so angry that he declared he would newer allow his daughter in his home again. But his anger did not survive her pleadings, and now Caswell has assumed a place as one of the family where he used to do the chores. Miss Swinnerton has been a public school teacher for two years and she1waspopular, both in her educational work and in social circles. Caswell, on the other hand, has never worked at anything but manual labor. and in the making oUt of the marriage license he gave his occupation as that of a. cook. Once he got in trouble with the police because of some charges of a minor offense and in that connection spent some little tirne in jail.

AMERICAN WOMEN IN ITALY.
Graceful Tribute Paid Them by One of the Fair Writers of
 That Country.

In an article on this years society doings in Rome the Italian writer and poet, Domenico Oliva, pays graceful tribute to American women. After re. viewing the charms which society women of every nationality contribute to Rome's cosmopolitan assemblies, he exclaims:
 "But the fair Americans, with their sparkling eyes, their hair of liquid gold, their stately gracefulness, are the symbol of modernity and of wig orous youth, of power that charms irresistibly and conquers every heart.
 "The United States inundate us with their beautiful and all-conquer- ing feminine battalions, but our an- eient Latin land captures them in it's turn, even as classic Greece subdued the victorious Romans"
 The author of the article, which ap- pears in the Giornale d'Italia, con cludes by saying that American ladies are becoming every year greater fa- vorites not only in the highest Roman society circles but at court itself, where larger number are being in- troduced to Queen Helena than has ever before been the case.

The bureau of forestry of the United States agricultural department says that the effects of fire on the forest, especially after numbering. and what may done by the state to prevent fire are subjects that will take long time to work out. In September E. A. Ster- ling of the bureau will try to determine what is the cheapest and most effective method of protecting from fire land that has been numbered. The bureau will also make a study of the chaparral land of southern California in order to learn whether it will pay to plant them with timber trees. A very interesting question has been raised as to whether chaparral, which includes a great va riety of scrub trees. such as manzanlta, scrub oak, valley mahogany and scrub cherry, will retain the moisture in the soil as well as timber trees. Chapar- ral grows denser than timber trees. and often reaches a height of twenty to twenty-five feet and diameter Of SlACS6u OE elSnIceu lhShCS' IT, O' NAAA Ter, who has charge of this work, Is now making study of the conditions under which chaparral grows in the San Gabriel mountains, near Pasadena, where the bureau has been planting pines and cedars for several years. The results of these separate Investigations will be gathered together by William c. Hodge of the bureau, who has gen eral charge of the California work, and will be presented to the state in a for mal report, accompanied by maps.

TRUTHS ABOUT RATS

That the devil is not 50 black as he is painted" applies even to rats, per haps the most universally detested of all rodent vcrmin. 4 striking proof of this has been given tby the resident ial rats no board q hospital ship at Southampton giving timely warning of an outbreak of fire by excitedly "scur- rying about" A wild interpretation is generally given to the popular saying, Rats always desert d doomed ship" They inyaribly do so, if they can with safety; but it is not because of any pre- scient gifts, although. as a matter of fact, there are few animals with lar ger share of the grey matter. or think ign portoin, of the brain than rat tfhat is, in proportion to the size of the aninral--and they show this in many of their habits. When.rats find ship getting waterlogged they will desert it ito a man. at the first port to call; if right and tight andsfound available they will stick to it with unequaled fidelity.
 The capacity of rats for discovering fresh stores of food is astounding. and often leads to those united migratory movements that periodically create aIarn ana are UeSCTTUeu as pidSu of rats" These great movements are undoubtedly initiated and personally conductde'' by old and experienced rats the aldermen of the colony, at once a proof of highly developed inteili- gence and unselfishness. Rats in largo ce1rters of industry, if not pres ent in commercial plague form, do a great deal of good as consumers of great deal of good as consumers of garbage that would otherwise become a perflous nuisance. It is also a popular delision that a rat bite is un- usually dangerous from. this fact of sewer garbage eating. On contraie, rats cut as clean as new lancet,-- Pail Mall Gazette.

IL is reported that party of mining
men are negotiating for the purchase
of the Gray group of mines in the
Stockton Hill country. The mines are
among the best properties in that sec
tion and we hope the rumor is true.
If these mines are worked as they
should be, there is no doubt that great
ore bodies will be opened up. Several
of the mines carry good values in both
gold and copper and are desirable prop

Hill is one of the most accessible dis
tricts in the county and mines can be
worked more economically there than
