report of bumper crop Of any cereal.
The povery there is described as des-
perate. II Is not so much a matter of
unfrmtful lands as il is that the mill
tary drags away the hundreds of sons
leaving little help to till the soil. To
this is added the unceasing visits of the
tax gatherer. who grinds the faces of
the poor. nor cares whether they live or
die.
One does not marvel at the growth
of nihilism in Russia. but rather that il

CLINTON FISH CLUB TO

Takes Up Work Of Snagging Ponds
and sioughs to Prevent
Hauling OF Seines.

The Clinton Fish club is getting
along swimmingly. says the Herald
of that city. The organization now
has a membership of at least 500. and
it is rapidly growing.
The work of snagging the Clinton
lakes and sloughs so that seines can
not be drawn in them is to be com
menced Monday morning. The club
has secured a pile driver. This ma
chine will be steamed up for the first
of the week. The club has purchased
ten cords OF burr oak posts, some eight
feet in length. These will be driven
through the ice. in the lakes and
sloughs and down into the bottom I'M
til about two feet protrude therefrom
Their tops will thus be toally sub
merged. The tops of the burr oaks
will also be utilizide in the snagging
process, as holes will be cut through
the ice, and these also placed in the
bottom of the lakes or other bodies of
water. Barrels filled with rocks and
sand will be sunk in the lakes. to in
tcrfere with the seines of the illegal
fishermen. Other methods will be
adopted along these same lines and
the club proposes TO put an end to
SEEMING in the Clinton fishing places.

Fireproof Cars.


Freight cars built entirely of steel
are so numerous now in the United
States that the Electrical Review
thinks our railroad managers might
probably go step farther, for it asks
in a recent issue: "Why not build pas
senger cars of steelY'
Our contemporary ought to know
that steel now enters to greater pro-
portion in the construction of .passen-
ger coaches than is generally known
and no doubt the metal will be utilized
as far as possible, but all-steel passen-
ger cars are not likely to meet with
the same success as has been won by
all-steel freight cars. The ears for the
new electric passenger subway in New
York City are not built entirely of
metal, and it is believed to be imprac
ticable to construct passenger cars in
that way, but 1t is possible with the
discoveries made in other directions in
recent years to build substantial rail-
way vehicles in part of metals, with
such materials as asbestos and fire.
proof wood as basis for the decora
tons.
Many passenger cars now in use on
American railroads are built on u
frame work of steel, and some Of the
private passenger cars are so strong
that nothing short of dynamite could
disintegrate them. In the cars of the
latter class the limit has been reach.

THE MATTER OF AGE.
Men Are Often as Sensitive az Women

ON the Subject.
The National Academy Of Design
recently awarded prize to woman
in competition limited to artists not
over certain age. The artist discov-
cred that she was ineligible and re-
minded the committee Of the fact. In
her frank letter renouncing claim to
the prize, the artist said: "Of course,
it isn't pleasant to have attention
drawn to ones age"
1t is a fact that almost all women
more than twenty years old, and many
men over forty, are sensitive on the
subject of age, says the Washington
Times, but few Of them could give any
explanation of their feeling that would
not be puerile Apparently they are
ashamed Of having arrived at years
of discretion but they would repudi-
ate that explanation Indignantly. Sure
~ there is nothing discredltable in the
bodily health that conduces to long
life, nothing degrading in having es-
capped fatal accident and disease.
Why should it be unpleasant to have
attention drawn to ones age when one
is neither very young nor very old?
1t is not unpleasant to have attention
drawn to the color of ones hair-un-
less the color be artificial or Indicative
of that same reprehensible lapse OF
time which constitutes age. 1t Is not
unpleasant to be, say, thirty years
nIl h,y+ &c fhinO for
women especially to regard reference
to the fact as a personal affront or
an injury to their vanity.
The man who shows constituencies
about his age and tries to appear
younger than he is usually is regard

hind his back as q vain old fool, but
until q woman passes the four-score
mark she is encouraged by the conven-
tons of society to fib about the lapse
of time and keep the vital statistic
pages of the family Bible gummed to-
gether After four-score the vanity
of men and women takes twist in
the reverse direction, and the conceit
of a ccntenarian becomes monumen-
tai.
Perhaps feminine Discrimination to
tell or hear the truth about age Is q
survival from the times when years
were important factors in determining
value in the matrimonial market. Or
possibly the unpleasantness Of refer
ences to the subject is as artificial in
it's origin as the fear of mice, which

NOT HARD TO CARVE GLASS.

No Diamond Is Needed to Sever the
Brittle Substance with Ease.
1t often occurs that glass tubes OF
various dimensions have to be cut
where a diamond is not at hand as In
shops and power plants where oil and
water gauge tubes must be neatly
fitted. The usual method adopted is to
file n small groove around the tube
and separate the glass with Il sharp rap
at the place weakened by the file. The
result is not always satisfactory, be-
cause the ends often break unevenly
owing to the difficulty of making a
straight groove with the file. Better
results are obtained when only small
incision is made with file. just enough
to cut through the enamel of the tube
on one side and not all around.
While the tube is still warm from the
friction of the file the tube is then
taken between the thumbs and fore
finger, the thumbs opposite the file In
cision, and the forefingers around the
tubing, close, but not covering the In
cision Pressure of the thumbs in
variably causes the tube to break in as
straight and clean a line as though cut
with diamond.
Another method is to use n fine saw
blade, (the finer toothed the better, for
n saw is only another form OF filel,
and this should be kept fed with fine
emery, carborundum, or pulyerized

clothing, and during the day peddle,
beg or work in the streets in thin gar

a temperature of 60 degrees below zero
for weeks at time and sometimes
drops as low as 80.
In Moscow such scenes as that here
with depicted are common and they
may also be witnessed in other cities
Of the Cars realm. Charitably dis
posed persons light fires in the streets
and around these poor persons gather
during the day to warm their hands

Civilization is not averse from mon
ey-getting and it lays down no rules
as to how much solid comfort an indI-
vidual or community may enjoy, but
1t does insist that money made under
its auspices shall be well spent and
that the benefits which it bestows shall
fall in some measure on all, for no
man can be said to be really and truly
civilized whose feet are treading out
side the path of right living and who
does not bestow on others less fortu-
nate, but not less deserving, a share,
however modest, of the comforts that
are his. Divorce civilization from NOR

ridiculous and an impudent sham.

compelled the Koreans to erect after
he had conquered them and their Chi
nese allies in 1892, when Japan in
vaded Korea with over 100000 men.
The monuments of ears" Of which
two are shown, date from the same
war. They cover the burial places in
Japan of the 10000 ears which the
Japanese cut off the heads OF Koreans
and carried back to Japan as trophies.
A portion Of these grewsome trophies
was buried in each province of Japan,
with q monument over each burying
place. A number of these monuments
are still standing. Other invasions of
Korea by the Japanese took place in
the year 202, when the Empress Of
Japan, clad in armor, led an army on

The adulteration of drugs is q double
evil. 1t is not merely that the adulter
ants put into them may be injurious to
health, but even when this is not the
case they may so detract from the efIl-

accomplish the purpose for which it Is
intended. a careful analysis of drug
