vice. immigration officials say that
10000 more Russians have come to
this country this year than in any pre-
vious year.
Reports which have reached the
bureau of immigration from its Eu-
ropean agents is that many Russians
serving in army garrisOns along the
German and Austrian frontiers are de-
serting These deSerters are assisted
by societies to Hamburg and from
there make their way to the United
States.
Should the increase continue it is
likely that the matter of desertion
from the military service of a foreign
country may soon be considered by the
department of commerce and labor in
admitting aliens. While no decision
has been made on this point, officials of
the bureau of immigration say that
should Russia protest against this
country being used as an asylum for
deserters, the men would have to be
denied admission.

THEY WILL CURE PNEUMONIA
Prescious Metals Said to Have Cured
Fourteen Cases of That Disease.

PARIS. Dec. "a sensational COM
munication was made to the Academic
de Medicine today by DR.. Albert Robin,
which reported the discovery of the
fact that certain metals, such as gold
and silver, finely subdivided and EN-
ployed in infinitesimal doses. will cure
pneumonia. Thirteen cases were cured
out of fourteen treated.
The reduction of the metals to
proper state is obtained by electrical
dissolution in water. The metals 50
treated acquired the property of de-
velOping a force similar to fermenta'

THE MINIATURE.
How the Term Came to Mean a Very
Small Portrait.

Miniature painting originated in the
practice of Illuminating manuscript
books, when small pictures were intro
duced with the initial letters or upon
the borders. These initial letters were
usually painted in red, Latin minimum;
hence these small pictures were termed
miniature. #
After the invention of printing and
engraving this art entered upon new
phase. Copies in small of celebrated
pictures were made, and the demand
was particularly great for portraits,
and so the term miniature came to
mean a very small portrait. One Of the
most famous miniature painters was
Holbein, and Samuel Cooper, Lon
doner, was also an expert. Milton sat
to him, and it is said that Louis XIV.
offered $50 for his picture of Oliver
Cromwell
Photography checked miniature paint
ing for time, but Of late there has
been notable revival of the art. In
olden time miniatures were often paint
ed on vellum or on copper or silver
plates. Now ivory is the medium COM
monty employed

Primitive Account Keeping.

fat piece of wood upon which the farm
laborer records his days work. Each
notch at the edge represents days
toll, and half days are recorded by a
cut made in the fiat surface of the
wood. Overtime is represented by a
small round hole drilled in the tally"
with a penknife. In his present state
OF education it is likely that it will be
many years before the north Scottish
laborer improves upon the primitive
methods Of his forefathers.

WEEPING WILLOWS.
The Curious Manner of Their Intro
ductfOn Into England.

The Salix BabylOnica or Willow Of
Babylon, the English weeping willow.
is a native of the Levant, the coast Of
Persia and other places i'll the east.
The manner Of its introduction into
England is curious and has been de-
scrbed:
Pope, the poet, having received a
present of Turkey figs, observed that a
twig of the banket in which they had
been packed was putting out a young
green shoot. This he planted in his
garden where it grew into a fine tree,
and from this original stock all our
weeping willows have descended.
This species of willow is generally
planted by a still pool, to which it is an
appropriate ornament, and when, in
misty weather, drops Of water are seen
distilling from the extremities Of its
branches nothing could be more de-
scriptive than the title it has obtained
of the weeping willow"
1t is sometimes called Pope's willow,
and the name Napoleon's willow has
also been given to 1t, because tree of
this species overshadowed the emper-
ors tomb at st. Helena.-LOndOn

not know what to do to stop them. At

on the rails, waiting for train to go
over it and crush it so that they could
eat it.

That's What People Do Who Do Not
Masticate Their Food.

Masticate Their Food.
People who swallow their food whole
are insulting their teeth. The teeth are
there to perform their duty, and the
one who fails to use them is implying
that they are not fit for the duty as
signed them. Again, he is letting them
get rusty by disuse.
Don't favor the teeth until it is nee
essary. Give them plenty of work to
do. Eat crrsts. and when eating meat
spare not the work of the teeth.
Few people will eat food from dirty
fingers. yet hosts of men, women and
children eat food with poorly kept
teeth. What kind of care of the stOm-
ach is this?
Dressing tables and vest pockets are
filled with nail files, but the silk thread
or the rubber band for removing parti-
cles of food from between the teeth is
more essential. If the person who neg
lects his teeth would look often in the
glass and smile broadly he would know
how his greetings affect his friends.
This is not vanity. 1t would remove
, from many every particle of conceit.
Any smile is spoiled by lily Kept teeth.
Brush the teeth before and after eat
ing. Carry the brush in a pocket or
handbag
Use the silk thread Or rubber band
after meals. 1t can be carried with the
brush.

FEDERAL JUDGE HANFoRD FLAT
Ly TURNS DOWN APPLICATION
FOR NATURALIZATION.
Sole Reason Given by the Court Was
That the Man Is an
Asiatic.

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 9.-By a
straight-out decision rendered by
Judge Hartford, nos japanese, even
though he has lived in the United
States five years, has the necessary
witnesses and the necessary general
qualifications. can become a citizen or
the United States. Tally Kimura tried
it but the court, after expressly de-
claring that Kimura had in every re-
spect fulfilled the requirements OF resi-
dence. intelligence and character, de-
MED the application for citizenship for
the sole reason that the applicant was
an Asiatic and not white man.
This is said to be the first time that
Jap ever appeared in person IN the
federal court Many of them have got
as far as the clerks Office, but have
turned back there on the reasonable
assurances that it was useless for them
to proceed in the matter.
About two years ago young Jdpd-
nese student in this city was refused
admission in the superior court. The
state supreme court has also practical
ly decided against Japanese and Chi
nese applications for citizenship.
Kimura is. of course, at liberty to
appeal to the supreme court of the
United States if he so desires, but the
great expense of that course renders it
unlikely in his case.

Hunters Say That the Big Animals

The process Of elephant catching in
India, as well as in Siam. tends to
rather undermine ones settled notions
of elephant sagacity and to create in
stead the feeling that lot of senti-
mental tommyrot and misleading, ig-
norantly conceived animal stories have
been put forth about my lord the ele

elephant, for all it's reputed intelli-
gence, is driven into places. that no

which it could pass without an effort
and bullied into accomplishing Obedi-

attributable. Apropos of amena bility.

Weight of Centuries.

Today the great bulk of our immf-
grafton comes from countries in which
the peasantry for generations have
been coerced from the ideal to the
practical and material. The few artists
among them have high skulls but the
masses have short heads widened at
the base by a struggle for existence
a study of the immigrants pouring
into New York just now seems to con-
firm the idea that the typical Ameri-
can of the future will be more practi-
cal and domestic, but less imagina-
tive, less benevolent and less rever-
ent.
Another fact to be noted is the ex-
penditure of $4,000, 900 in ten years
for the .cure of the foreign-born in
sane in the United States, not to spead
of the official statement that of some
thing like twenty-four thousand in
sane persons in New York state. one
half are foreign born, although the
aliens in the state only amount to
one-fourth of the whole population.
