RUsslA's BEAUTY COLONY.
Man of Many Roubles Has Built Up a Community of Physical
 Perfection.

At the time of the Russo-Turkish war M. Reshetnikoff, struck with the inferior, physique of many recruits, set aside annually out of his large for tune the sum of 10000 rubles for the pur pose of eliminating the unfit by encour- aging marriage only between young peo- pie of exceptional beauty, health and in telligence.
 To attain this end, says the London Chronicle, he employed as workers on ais estate only the handsomest and healthiest villagers. These he encour- aged to enter upon matrimony by free grants of land, payments of all marriage fees and an annuity of 50 rubles a year for every child born.
 He succeeded in removing from his es- tate by rather harsh means all deformed and sickly persons and attracted hand some giants from all parts of the prov ince by granting them valuable privi- leges. Those who refused to marry the partners he selectedwere uncermonious- ly deported
 Since the institution of this human beauty farm 40 model marriages have taken place and over 100 children have been born, nearly al of them being inn mensely superior to the average Rus sian peasant children in strength and beauty The girls in particular are re- markable for their graceful carriage and 1.-the, active forms.
 A marriage was lately celebrated there with exceptional display owing to the fact that the bridegroom and his bride are the first couple both of whom sprang from unions arranged by M Reshetnik- off.
 The bridegroom, handsome peasant named Vasilieff, of splendid physique, I and the bride, lovely girl of IS, were driven to church in M. Reshetnikoff's s carriage and given as dowry a large wooden cottage and plot ofland. Hun dreds of persons witnessed the ceremony, and at the wedding breakfast M Reshet- l nikoff delivered an eloquent speech, in which he welcomed "the second genera don of his nurslings who are to make
 holy Russia an earthly Olympus peopled with Apollos and Hebes."

STORM SWEEPS MANITOBA.

 Killed by ysBoIt-Crops Damaged.


 Killed by BoIt--Crops Damaged. WINNIPEG, Man, Aug 2O.-Re- ports of q disastrous storm have been received here from Pierson and Moosemin, but so far nothing has been heard from the intervening country, a strip of land seventy miles wide.
 At Moosemin Archie Latimer, farm CT, was instantly killed by lightning. The same bolt killed his team. For violence the storm surpassed anything ever seen in this neighborhood. It is impossible to state the extent of the damage done to crops in the district. Lightning struck Lyttleton, causing fire, destroying six stores.
 A heavy thunderstorm accompanied by hail passed over Melita. Crops suf- fered considerably. The house of the manager of Union bank here, situated several miles north of town, was struck by lightning and wrecked.

SCHOOLING OF JAP GIRLS
Methods of Education Now in Vogue Are Thoroughly Up-
 to-Date.

Tn an article in "The Far East" Mme. Uchida, wife of the Japanese consul general in New York, tells of the Japanese women as they were and are. She says:
 Tn olr mo1here generation tho sirls We're tadgar simply 10 become good wives 10 heir hitshsnds ena gooo motnsrs 10 tneir children; therefore they were educated to be modest, obedient and capable of controlling themselves. They were taught also how to keep houss; how to sew; how to read and write; how to arrange flowers; how to make and serve tea and very often they also studied mu- sic and literature, but they received no school education such as they re- ceive now.
 Girls of the preseIt time all re- ceive a modern school education Japanese ladies in 1904 are not con- tented merely to stay at home and take care of their children. They at tend lectures, meetings and entertain ments. They publish women's maga- zines and discuss their rights and du- ties.
 1T think there Is no girl now in Japan who cannot write her own name, for the parents are compelled by law to send their girls as we'll as their boys to school when they reach the age of six. In the primary school girls receive the same education as boys, with the additional study of sewing. After they graduate from the primary school many girls attend the high school. -r ...-.- .- ..H~
 "A fact that might interest Amer ican readers is that the women in Japan never get stout when they grow old, although they take hardly any exercise.
 Young men and women while they are in school or college take much outdoor exercise, but as soon as they leave school they give it up. Tennis is popular game among young la dies"
