Tn. Woe. Of Finland.

The old prOyerb that misfOrtunes new.
or come singly is painfully illustrated
On the unhappy fate Of the once prosper
Gus grand duchy of Finland. With the
story OF the classification of the Films
the world is quite familiar. During the
reign Of the present czar. who in some
respects has posed as an enlightened
and liberal monarch, Finland has been
completely changed from a self govern
tng autonomy to a mere Russian prov
ince automatically governed from 81.
Petersburg. To liberty loving people,
such as the Firms. this was Il disaster,
and il was not surprising that the tide
OF emigration from the country set in
strongly last year.
To this disaster has now been added
another-a disaster in its most terrible
form. The grain crop failed owing
to excessive rains. and all vegetation
was killed or so stunted as TO be In
sufficient TO support life. The forest
birds have been dying Of starvation,
and famine is at the doors Of One-third
OF the population. The other twO-thirds
are face to face with what would be re-
garded as famine in this favored coun-
try. People are eating bread made Of
little grain mixed with straw, which
relieves hunger without nOurishing the
body, or are subsistlng on bread made
from grain that did not mature, mess
so bitter that the starving animals re-
fuse TO eat il. The people are so poor
that they have not enough money with
which TO buy bread and consequently
cannot buy clothing, and heavy clothing
is an essential to life In that rigorous
climate
An appeal has been made TO Russia
for aid, and the senate, which was only
recently Russianlzed, has decided to
construct public works at a cost Of
S375, 900 TO relieve the starving popula-
ton, and it has authorized the pur-
chase of $500, 900 of grain to be sold TO
the people at cost. This measure of re-
lief will assist the suffering people ma
terially, but terrible winter is now
upon them. The relief granted by the
government is wholly inadequate, and
unless further aid is speedily extended
thousands must perish OF cold and hun
ger.
The worlds sympathy and charity
may well be extended to hapless Fin
land. now merged into the helpless and
hopeless misery of the Russian empire
and facing starvation amid the rigors Of
| an arctic winter.

have been left to multiply, which they

NEW SPECIES OF ORANGE.
First Fruits of an Agricultural De-
partment Experiment..

phrt"cht IApeEhueht.
When tangerine, mandarin and satsu.
ma oranges were imported from the
orient, Europeans and Americans We're
delighted to find fruit which, unlike
their own product, could be peeled
readily with the hand. This was many
years ago, and yet until the present
time no step was taken to transfer this
very desirable quality to the enormous
native American crops. During the
past few days. however. the depart
ment of agriculture has received some
specimen oranges which have been
crossed with the so called glove skinned
or tangerine orange, says the Washing
ton Post
or these the new grape fruit will be
of the greatest interest to the connois.
seur. The fruit retains its characters.
tic bitter flavor, which is so refreshing
to the taste and which combines SO
well with wine flavorings. But, unlike
the ordinary grape fruit, its sections
separate readily and the skin can be
peeled off quite as easily as glove
from PERSONS hand. In color it is in
termediate, and its size is also cross
between the two fruits. The diminished
bulk Of the new product will facilitate
handling, while the ready removal of
the rind, which in the ripe fruit can ac-
tually be shaken from the pulp, will be
boon to the consumer.
The other new variety which DR..
Weber has just received from Miami,
Fla, is an ordinary orange also crossed
with tangerine In this case the rich,
sweet flavor Of the oriental orange has
made great improvement. The fruit
can be distinguished by the protruding
pip and the coarse glands peculiar to
the tangerine peel.

NEW TOMB FOR BEECHER.
DR.. Hills Wants Memorial Built
Near Plymouth Church, Brooklyn.

DR.. Hills Wants Memorial Built
Near Plymouth. Church, Brooklyn.
If the plans of the Rev. Newell
Dwight Hills, pastor of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, are carried into ef-
feet, the body of Henry Ward Beecher,
now in Greenwood cemetery, will be
enshrined in costly marble sepulcher
to be built in the shadow of the old
church that the great preacher loved SO
well, says the New York World. Plym-
outh church and Brooklyn are now at
odds over the possession Of the site for
the contemplated mausoleum. The
church has an option until April l on
two lots adjoining the property. These
lots the board Of education has con-
demned for the erection Of a school
building. influential members of the
church are making efforts to induce the
board to rescnd its action.
In referring to the proposed sepul-
cher, DR.. Hills said recently:
"Save Daniel Webster at Marsh
field, Mass, there is not one of the
great men of our country buried In a
place more difficult of access than is
Henry Ward Beecher. 1t Is with the
greatest difficulty that the hundreds Of
pilgrims who seek his tomb are able to
find it.
"Some time l am going to set apart
three months and work day and night
to raise money for that shrine If 1t
cannot be built in the shadow of Plym-
outh, will at least find some place in
Brooklyn that is more accessible than
the Greenwood resting place."

A European army-a very small one,
but still an organized army-is about to
be abolished entirely, says the London
Express. Prince Albert of Monaco, who
is an ardent believer in the pressing
need in the near future for arbitration
as means Of settling all international
disputes and who thinks that universal
peace is possibility. has determined to
back his opinion by doing away with
his entire armed force. Hence the Mo-
negasque army, which consists of some
thirty-two men, will very shortly be a
thing of the past

products of the earth. and the discov-
cry Of a fungus which, spread over the

sidered one Of the greatest Of boons.

TORPEDO BOAT PLAN.
Design of the Proposed Double
Hulled Vessel.

DCSASA VI INC AAoPonCu DVO~AU
Hulled Vessel.
Details were made public recently Of
the new design Of torpedo boats, six Of
which, according to bills introduced in
congress, it is proposed to add to the
navy, says the New York Times.
The feature of the vessel is double
hull, the upper to act merely as a float
for the main part Of the vessel below.
Amidships there Is an armored coming
tower rising a few feet above the deck,
In which the navigator may stand and
from which air is supplied for ventila-
ton and combustion below 1t is sought
by this device to remedy the principal
defects Of the submarine boat, which
are it's blindness when submerged and
the inability to use gas engines, thus
retarding the speed.
The small coming tower, which is
proof against all small guns, is the
only vulnerable part of the boat. If a
shell hits the float filed with cellulose,
the effect will be as if SO much cork
were filled with holes-it will continue
to float

The people of st. Louis are doubtless
much interested in the decision Of a
Milwaukee judge that visiting relatives,
II they outstay their welcome, may be
compelled to pay for board and lodging
at the prevailing rate. The Milwaukee
case referred to second cousins who
stayed for five weeks. Probably the
rule would be somewhat more liberal in
the case of cousins german.
However, the principle involved is the
same though duration of hospitality
may vary according TO the nearness or
remoteness of the tie of propnquity.
And it is in the principle of the thing
that the residents of St. Louis are in
terested as they contemplate the COM
ing to the big fair of food of sisters,
cousins and aunts.
Every Chicago mans house was full
of poor and rich relations in 1898 and
every Buffalo mans house in 1900. So
is likely to be every ST. Louis mans
house in 1904 if he submits to the inva-
sion.
But the chances are that he is not GO
ing to submit. Adopting the principle
laid down Ivy the Milwaukee jurist as
good law as well as good common sense,
the st. Louis householder has his rene
dy in his own hands, and nobody can
blame him, except the relatives who
want to see the fair without paying
board and lodging while sojourning in
the exposition city, If he limits his hos
pitality to reasonable time and then
compels the visiting relations to pay
their board,
