NOT 4 T4 CTFUL RECTOR.

The revolutionary spirit which mani fests itself among the Russian students wont be notified by such incidents as occurred recently at the Warsaw Uni versity. When M. Apoukhtine, the cur ator, died the rector, M. Oulianoff, thought it necessary to manifest his attachment to the authorities. M. Apoukhtine had rendered himself par ticularly unpopular by his ardent ad- vocacy of the Classification of Poland. Therefore, M. Oulianoff solemnly de- posted wreath on his grave, not in his own name, but on behalf of all the whom are Poles. The speech he deliv- cred still further aggravated the situ- ation, and the students determined to hold an indignation meeting. They assembled in one of the halls of the university, and the rector at once sent for the police. Soon two hundred po- licemen occupied the principal yard of the university buildings, and when the students wished to leave they found themselves surrounded. About sixty of them were arrested, while the remain- der managed to escape. They now had two motives for protest, one against the honors to the memory of the late curator, the other against the arrest of so large number of students. By this time a crowd of worl1men had joined the students, who tried to hold meet ing in the center of the town. Of course they were promptly dispersed by the authorities. They had time, however, to draw up proclamation terminating with these words: I've students have decided to protest. We will not re- sume our studies so long as there re- mains at the head of our university a man who delivered our comrades over into the hands of the police. We de- mand that the rector shall be dismiss ed"
 M. Oulianoff may be loyal to the gov ernment, but he is evidently not man of great tact.

 places may be located by the presence in the otherwise unbroken snow, of two
 holes. foot or more apart; one made by the bird as he plunged downward from the wing, and the other as he sprang upward and broke through the
 snow from beneath. Between the two
 holes there is a tunnel, and it is here that grouse has passed the night. He does not always plunge in from the

It appears that love isn't necessary to make a marriage legally binding. At least so says Justice Bischoft of New York. The case in question was that of IGunther vs. Gunther on the demurrer of Charles Van Vaikenburg Gunther to the divorce suit of Helen Bioodgood Garrett son Gunther Gunther's was a coun- ter-suit. asking that Mrs. Gunther's bill be set aside, denying her charges and praying that the marriage be annulled on the ground that she had married him not for love. but because such a contract would enhance her attractive ness on the stage, to which she aspired. In his decision Judge Bischoff said: The fraud for which annulment of the marriage is sought by way of counter claim Is alleged to arise from the fact that the plaintiff induced the marriage /, through false assertions of affection for the defendant, concealing her real mo- tive, which was to advertise herself in her profession as an actress by means of this marriage. It appears from the matter pleaded. however. that this mental attitude of the wife, while hos tile to the ideal domestic state looked for by the husband, has not prevented the parties from living together in some manner. described by the defend ant as ''nomadic." and fraud which finds it's expression not in any facts, but solely in the deceiving party's state of mind. cannot suffice as a ground for annulment Of the marriage.
 Poetically there ought to be love be- fore marriage, if not after but the law isn't poetical, and this decision will seem cold and cheerless to poets.

4 coon USE FOR soMn MONEY

The national good roads movement is gaining strength. Senator Latimer of South Carolina has joined it, and he is the author of bill providing for a bu- reau of highways and appropriating 24,000, 900 as fund for the construction of roads throughout the United States. Senator Latimer believes that the gov ernment can well afford to employ some of the $260, 100000 treasury surplus in the improvement of roads. He believes that roads. canals and harbors should be considered in the same class, and says that there is as much authority for con-
 gress taking up the question of road i'm provement as river and harbor improve
 nlent. In enterprises of the latter kind the country has already spent about $45O, ,oOe.OOO, of which $1S.OOO,OOO has been
 used in constructing levees on the Mis- sissippi river under a cooperative plan. Senator Latimer's scheme is to distrib- ute the s24,000,o00 among the states and territories according to population. To receive any of the money the state or territory must provide for one-half of the cost and secure the necessary right oa way. do the work under the super vision of the government and maintain
 the roads in good repair. Senator Lati- mer believes that good roads the coun- try over will have the effect of greatly increasing the value of farm lands and also of farm crops. Tine general public will benefit by the improvements in get
 ting their agricultural supplies at much
 cheaper rates than those now prevail ing.
 Some of our national riches might be, and probably will be, put to a much
 worse use than making good reads.

GLASS PAINTING NOW

According to the present indications, glass painting bids fair to take it's orig inal place in the rank or decoration, and women who are so fortunate as to have old heirloonls in the shape of banjo and grandfathers' clocks with quaint glass pictures are now more than ever to be envied. But any woman of moderate ability can turn her knowledge of painting to account in this direction are always interesting.
 Since this old accomplishment has been revived, it is rapidly becoming the fashion to use it in beautifying the home Often the entire appearance of a sombre room is changed by trans forming an ordinary glass window into an imitation stained glass one. A square or oblong window over the piano or book shelves which Is not an orna- ment to the room, but is necessary for light, need be no longer an eyesore if treated to this simple method of color painting
 One of the most interesting examples of imitation stained glass was seen re- gently. To accomplish this result the painter first had a pane of glass cut the same size of the window. On this was sketched in outline the motif, after which it was painted in the same man ner as on china. From the edge of the glass the arrangement of the gold leaf was so carefully applied that it gives a gorgeous effect when the sun shines through 1t.
 Some artists make it point to stand their easels in the sunshine while work ing on glass, so they can keep the effect in the foreground in applying colors. This method of working is trying on the eyes however, and rather difficult to follow. To insure durability, the glass must be fired before mounting in the pane.
 A new idea fer besutifyi1lg 6 Ii hall q H window at the first stair landing is to arrange circular piece of glass about eighteen inches in diameter in frame in such maner as to give the effect of stained glass. This is done by care fully choosing the proper colors of paint and applying them with quan- tity of gold leaf interspread. If the window is square, oblong or diamond shape, it may be first painted a solid color leaving space in the centre for an imitation stained glass window to be putted on in any desired shape, The putty is gilded over, so that it does not show, and the effect of the solid color

I approached cautiously, and had almost reached the depression, when with a mighty whirr great brown grouse burst through the level surface of the snow in front of me and sped away through the pine woods, cleverly dodg- ing the tree trunks. And looking down I saw two holes, nearly two feet apart, and on either side of the farther one was the clear impression of a grouse's wing.

Recently a burglar in an English po- lice court was found to carry piece of coal in his pocket for luck" Many English criminals think coal carried about with them gives good fortune. A belief in coal as talisman is said to have been held by the early Britons, and it is frequently found in their burial places converted into personal ornaments, such as beads. Believers in dreams maintain that to dream of coal is a certain sign of coming riches. Then, too, there was a famous specu- lum or mirror of divination--that caus- ed a great sensation in the sixteenth century--of Dr. Dee, which was formed of camel coal, though the doctor pre- tended to have received it from the angels.

Georgia feels good, and with reason. The secretary of the Greater Georgia Association declares that in her cotton to-day Georgia has a product that ex- ceeds in value the entire gold output of the country, and he figures it thus: He estimates the Georgia cotton crop at 1,3OO000 bales, which, at value of $50 a bale amounts to $65,o00,O 900. Seed pro- duets he places at s12,000,OOO. Sea isl- and cotton at s4,Ooo,ooc. The added value on 100000 bales manufactured in the State at s2O,OO0.O00. This makes a total of s101, 100000, while the value of all the gold produced in the United States in year would be, perhaps, ESQ., 100000.
