Subservient Officials.

Of the subscrviency of Russian
court officials many stories are told
1t is said to pervade much of the
whole Russian official world, reach
ing in the lower ranks the highest
point of absurdity and idiocy. A
Russian writer says that, when a stu
dent of the Royal College of Pre-
ceptors in Moscow, he witnessed the
following scene: The director of
the college, NJ. Barsky, came in the
evening to our rooms to see whether
the students were at work, as some
of them were wont to leave the
premises without permission. At the
entrance he met the beadle, retired
soldier.
Directorate all students imp
Beadle-Exactly so, your honor.
Director-Is Abramovitch in toep
Beadle-Exactly so.
Director-You are liar, you VII
lain
Beadle-Exactly so, your honor.
The scene continued in the same
strain and it appeared that the di-
rector had just before met Abramo-
witch out in the street, he being
wont frequently to absent himself
permission.

The First Menu Card.

1t was the Duke Henry of Bruins
wick who was first observed in the
intervals of banquet to sean care
fully 9 long strip of paper by the
side Of his plate, and when the curl
Gus guests ventured to inquire into
the nature of his studies he explain
ed that it was a sort of programme
of the dishes which he had cont
manded from the cook, to the intent
that if some delicacy which especial
ly appealed to him were marked for
a late stage in the repast he might
carefully reserve his appetite for it.
The simplicity and beauty of the
idea appealed instantly to the good
dukes convives, and the menu card
from that moment became an insti-
tutinn.

The Drama In Japan,

Stage management in Japan ia
somewhat eccentric. When, in the
course of the play, one of the char
acters is killed a man in black rush
es on the stage and holds a large
cloak before the supposed corpse,
who arises and runs off. This is a
necessary proceeding, as a japanese
play begins at 10 o'clock in the
morning and lasts for twenty-four
hours, with no shift of scenery, and
it would not do to have the sup
posed corpse lying about the stage
all that time. People go to the play
provisioned for day and take their
children with them. In the inter-
walls between the acts the children
climb on the stage and make a play
ground of it, sometimes giving very
clever limitations of the actors who
have just gone off. =.

Climatic Cures

The influence OF climatic conditions In
the cure OF consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use OF German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup; so is a
good nights rest aud the absence Of that
weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus
ton due to coughing, the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to warmer cline, you
will find that OF the thousands OF con-
there, the few who are beEe-
flied and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup. Trial bottles. 95c;

AS TO REGISTRATION

Attorney-General William A
Anderson has thus stated the con
ditions of registration and the
qualification of voters under the
new Constitution after January
SIN order to register after Janu-
airy LIST, 1904, the applicant must
show that he has paid his State
capitation or poll taxes for 1901,
1902 and 1903. All voters now
registered or who may be registered
before January 1st, 1904, must
show thot they have paid their
capitation tax for 1908 before
they can vote in 1904.
"City officials are to be elected in
this city on the first Tuesday in
June, 1904, and those elected then
will assume their duties September
LIST, 1904. This applied only to the
Mayor and members Of the City
Council. All other officers elected
by the qualified voters of city
shall be elected on the Tuesday
after the first Monday in Noyem-
Der, 1905.
"There seems to be some mis-
understanding as to the meaning
Of the language Of the Constitution
as to permanent lists Of voters.
Many are under the impression
that by registering during the
years 1902 and 1908 they may thus
escape the requirement as to thepre-
payment ofpoll tax as a prerequisite
for voting. Every man, whoregisters
at any time, is on the permanent
list, unless ne DISTINGUISHES him
self by conviction of crime, idiocy,
lunacy or by failure to pay his
capltation taxes. In the case of
old soldiers alone is the poll tax
prerequisite waived"

Paper and Ink From Bananas.

The fruit and plant of the banana
serve various useful purposes which
are little known in. this country. In
South Africa banana stalks are in
great demand lis a material for the
manufacture Of paper, while excel
lent indelible ink is prepared from
the peel of the fruit. An extremely
nutritious flour is made from the
green fruit dried, and L ripe ba-
nanas, when boiled tender, are fed
to the ostricheS ON farms in Cape
Colony. This food is said to make
them and even ordinary fowls lay
more eggs than any other diet.
Dried bananas, or "banana figs" as
they are called, are also in great IA

LONG LASTING TASTES.
The Way Particular Flavor Chung

at is a curious thing how the
havors of certain things will come

"and often without any sort Of
excuse, unless we are to rely upon
rather finely spun theories for an
excuse. Many years ago l took to

"But my experience is not simply
a question of memory. l have ex-

of cod liver oil came back to me and
it was as fresh on my palate as it

"Now, why is this? Why should

not be mistaken when l say l ex-

of the taste. Were it not for this

cod liver oil might have caused me
to remember rather wildly the

With government bonds paying
but two per cent. interest, il
seems strange that lands are not
selling at higher prices than they
are. Farm products were seldom
higher than they are at present,
and the prediction is made that it
will be long time before food
stuffs of all kinds will be again as
cheap as they were a few years
since, so the inducements to till
the soil and plant orchards and
engage in farming industries of
various kinds were seldom greater
than at present, nor have the
products of substantial returns
from such occupations been more
encouraging. Lands are now cheap
and those who take advantage of
the present prices will be better off
than those who invest in stocks
and bonds.
