SERVANTS IN RUSSIA.
Tho Law Excludes Them ms Witness

Tho Law Excludes Them as Witness
es Against Their Employers.
The Russian servant is hired for one
year and is told exactly what his par
ticular duty is to be. He then sticks
to that one duty. AS long as each serv-
ant faithfully performs the special
duties of his position all is well, but
the neglectful butler or cook or coach
man is sent by the employer with
written note to the police judge, who
after carefully investigating the COM
plants has a right to order bodily pun
lshment or to write bad mark in the
book kept for this purpose.
In great Russian households often
from twenty to fifty servants are kept,
and even the middle class families
have two to four. The pay of these
servants varies according to the line
of work. While the chiefs in the
kitchens of wealthy families often re-
ceive 1900 a year, a cook in an ordinary
citizens employ gets no more than f12
a year, and a maid of all work never
gets more than IS year. At Easter
every servant gets a present, generally
suit or dress.
Every other Sunday the servants in
a Russian household are entirely free.
Their work stops Saturday night after
supper, when the servants leave the
house not to return until the next Mon
day morning. The employers never
ask where or how the free time is
spent
Russian servants will pilfer. Since
Russian ladies leave everything to the
care of the servants the latter do as
they please.
The manservants smoke cigars be-
longing to their masters and pay fire.
quent visits to the wine cellars of the
house, but gentleman would consider
it "demeaning'' himself to prosecute
servant for this.
The Russian servants will talk about
fellow servants, but never about their
employers. Even when they quit one
place and take service in another
family they would never mention any
thing about their former masters.
This discretion goes so far that even
the law considers it. In Russia the law
excludes servants as witnesses against
their former or present employers
so long, at least, as these servants are
not suspected Of having taken part in
the crime.-London Mail.

him better. There was nothing heroic
in his mood just then.
He stood taking in the details of the

bore some marks of taste and refine

JOAN OF ARC.

The canonization of Joan of Arc has begun at Rome, the Congregation of Rites having entered upon the recital of her many virtues.
 The story of the young peasant Wo- man of Domremy, who led the armies and brought a king to his throne, is still involved in a mystery that so balks some readers of history that they have come to doubt her existence. They may as well doubt the existence of Charlotte COrday. Joan of Arc was deeply religious, but religious fervOr was not the whole secret of her re- markable career. She must have been a woman of great executive ability Her knowledge of the world and of war was not derived from books but from the conversation Of travellers who stopped at the inn in Domremy where she served. For Joan of Arc could not read. If she had not been a wo- man of great ability and deterniua- tion, she could not have persuaded the

The commoner at St. Louis.

s William J Bryan evidently believes that ths democratic national conven- lion will require an organ and he therefore proposes to issue Daily C.ommoner at St. Louis during the gathering of the delegates. Why should Mr. Bryan trench upon the field of our esteemed contemporaries, the St. Louis Republic and the Post Dispatch?. Those enterprising journals with the assistance of the Associated Press and special correspondents will no doubt be able properly to "cover' the convention. We have no doubt that the newspapers of Lincoln, Neb., the habitat of the Commoner, will publish more nearly complete reports of the proceedings Of the convention than will be s2thered by the news force of the Daily Commoner.
 It is difficult to say how much nat ionaI conventions have been influenc- ed by newspapers in the past, but We have never heard Of any newspapers syoWe,2ly intending to influence convention end Mir. Bryan can have uo other purpose in the transplanting of ahe CUmmoner to St. Louis for a week It would perhaps be better for Mir. BSyar to postpone the transplanta- tion teF one year and then make his paper Nn exhibit at the Louisiana Purch&Be xposition. He would have asomathinG unique in journalism to of fer and at the same time it would be instructive to the nations.
 O The purpose of Mir. Bryan must be again~t the wishes of the democratic national committee which recently ex- pressed a >irsjfe to keep the convention GU, q! $he reach of improper newspa- per influence and it therefore kept it out of Chirago. But it appears that it is anyhow aJ b. surrounded by an at Inosphete q! Influence or attempted in- 9luence. MabOnst Hearst has. it is ru- Inored, resolved that since the noun tain will ant come to him. he will go to the mountain.
 The effecs ns a Hearst paper at St Louis dUring the convention is of less interest taaa the effect of the Daily Commones. There is a suspicion that the iniluen:e aG Mr. Bryan upon even O tbat large wing of the party which bIindIy followed him in the wilderness for eieAt years az waning, and it is prei;rte1 that by she date of the con- SeaiiCn it wiN have entirely waned.

According to all accounts she conducted military operations with skill and courage that were rare in 1929, when she raised the siege of Or leans then invested by the English. The English came to dread her as enc possessing extraordinary military skill as well as the power to inspire troops to brave action.
 For a woman to lead armies and outwit the best British soldiers Of the time was regarded as outrag geous. The church authorities did not like euch assertion of wCman's superiority and went out of their way to find f; ccuSa-

HALF DUR ILLS ARE CATARRHAL
 IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
 Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF ESCAPE FROM THEM2
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure Catarrh Wherever
 Located.

There are some things which are as sure as fate, and can be relied or to occur to at least one-half of the human family unless means are taken to prevent.
 First, the climate of winter is sure to bring colds.
 Second, colds not promptly cured are sure to cause catarrh.
 Third, catarrh improperly treated is sure to make life short and miserable.
 Catarrh spares no organ or function of the body. It is capable of destroying sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion, secretion, assi.2:lation and excrction. It pe-vades every part of the human body, head, throat, stomach, bowels, bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys, bladder and other pelvic organs,
 That PerUna cures catarrh wherever located is attested by the following tes- timonials sent entirely unsolicited to Dr. Hartman by grateful men ard wo- men who have been cured by Peruna:
 Systemic Catarrh.
 Mrs. M. K. Bousch, Richmond, Va, writes: q had catarrh all through my system for two years and could get no relief. was advisad 10 try Peruna and I have taken five bottles of it and am well and better now than have been for years. I can advise any one who has catarrh of any part of the body to take Peruna. My little girl who is eleven years old had catarrh, but was cured by Peruna. Before I began to take Peruna was sick all the time, but now am entirely cured, and all praise is due Peruna."-Mrs. M. K. Bousch.
 Catarrh of the Nose.
 MT. Herman Ehlke, 952 Orchard street, Milwaukee, Wis.,, writes:
 q am entirely cured of my catarrh of the nose by your Peruna. My case was s severe one."-Herman Ehlke.
 Catcrrh of the Throat.
 B. H. Runyan, Salesville, O., writes: "I suffered with catarrh of the throat for five years. I was induced to try Peruna. Ihave used five bottles and am perfectly well."-B. II. Runyan.
 Catarrh of The Ear.
 MT. Archie Godin, 1Ss Beech street, FitchbUrg, Mass, writes:
