ture. But the condition of the serfs wa
not relieved.
Thus it is seen that reforms which
were instituted did not reach down to
the lower levels of life, the serfs, tn.
slaves of the country, were left out O
the reckoning. 1t remained for Alex
ander III. to extend to them relief ant
make his reign illustrious by theii
emancipation. After the disasters OF
the Crimean war he sought to develop
the internal prosperity of Russia, anc
the abolition CT slavery was a step ir
this direction. For several years hi
was preparing for this radical step, foy
classes were opposed to reform, wishing.
to retain their hold on the common pee.
pie, and the emancipation was not et :.
fected until many difficulties had been
overcome. The decree was promulgate
in 1861. Among the other reforms in.
stituted during Alexander were the Sc
curing of publicity of trials, and inte,
vention of a jury in criminal cases.
And it has remained for the preser
czar, Nicholas H., the grandson of Ale1
ander H., to continue these reforms. l..
1903 a decree was issued providing fo
the freedom of religion throughout tn
empire, establishment of some degre
of local self-government, and abolish
ing forced labor, and the extensive re
forms which were announced at the tim
of the christening of the heir born i,
August of this year are of such recen
date to hardly need mentioning. Thes
included general amnesty in the cas-
of all political offenders, the abolish
ment of corporal punishment amonl
rural classes, so that Russia can no lon,
ger be called the land of the knout, the
remitting of arrears owing to the state
for land purchases, general amnesty to
Finlanders who had emigrated without
authorization, and the setting apart
OF $l,5O0,OOO from the state funds for
benefit of landless people of Finland.
These successive reforms since the
emancipation of the serfs in 1861 have
awakened in the Tower classes a desire
for greater rights and liberties, and the
fact that the zemstvos were permitted to
meet and present an appeal shows the
disposition of the government to deal
generously with such movements. What
acts will follow the pronouncement of
the zemstvoists it is impossible to say,
but it may take the form of summoning
an elective body to act in consultative
capacity to the sovereign. Surely,
every bondman in his own hand bears
the power to cancel his captivity"
and it is certain that the Russia of the
future will be the land of freer an !
more enlightened people.

which will recognize the rights of the
common people to representation indi-
Gates the drift of affairs. While the
present appeal, which has just been
made, and the unrest which prevails
under the present form of absolute mon
archy may not produce immediate
reformation, it indicates the trend of
things and is sure sign in the political
heavens of the changes which must
come sooner or later in that great slav
empire. In fact, it is better that it
should take years to realize these hopes
of constitutional liberty, for it is ques
tionable whether the people are quail
fed for judicious and intelligent par
ticipation in the affairs of government.
In the words of NJ Souvorin, the veteran
editor of the Novoe Vremya, "Ameri-
cans cannot realize the difficulty, even
danger, of suddenly introducing institu-
tions into our country. Even our states
men are not versed in the arts of gov
ernment. The fact is, we have not had
the opportunity to learn the art of gov
ernment. All this sufficiently indicates
the necessity for greatest caution in in
Producing the representative system and
the great danger in adopting an ill-di-
gested western constitution wholesale" J"
The zemestvo is a Russian institution
of recent years and marks the develop
ment and tendency towards greater
political liberties. 1t is local elective
assembly which has the regulation and
oversight of affairs with in its district.
The history of the development of
the Russian empire and the reforms
which have slowly and laboriously made
their way, offers some interesting sub
jects for consideration. When one con-
siders the incongruous and divergent
peoples and vast stretches of country
which have gone to make up the Rus
short of marvellous that semblance of
harmonious union and great govern
ment could have been wrought out OF
such unpromising material.
Modern Russia was born into the fam
lily of nations Of Europe when Ivan the
great, prince of Moscow, threw off the
yoke of her Mongol conquerors, who had
ruled for two centuries and half. But
Il remained for Peter the Great to bring

short of revolution. He compelled
the mobiles to submit to his absolute

pansion. He started the modern Rus
sia on her career and established the
autocracy which after centuries is only
beginning to feel the impulses of the
common people for share and voice in
the government. In Peter the Great we
have the rare spectacle of nation being
formed by the work of one man within
the period of 43 years. He was not
afraid of hard work himself and learned
the trade of shipbuilding in Holland
He transformed the customs, habits and
costumes Of the Slavs. He opened ur
schools and colleges, and the mobiles and
burghers were encouraged to educate
themselves. He ameliorated the con-
dition of the serfs without abolishing
slavery.
Such were the great reforms which
Peter established and in Catherine H.,
who came to the throne, or rather, who
seized the throne 81 years after Peter
had passed off the stage of life, he had
a worthy successor Not only did she
continue his work of conquest, adding
territory to the west and south to the
Russian domain, but she also was active
in bringing about reforms within the
nation. She reorganized justice and
education, that is for the higher classes.

enlarged
though rarely numerous enough to kill
those of any size. There is no sign of
the San Jose scale, Aspidiotus per-
niciosus Comst., and the turning yell
low Of the foliage and death of the
trees would indicate some other cause
for the trouble. We observed condi-
tions somewhat similar to this at the
latter end of the season in western New
York, and there it was due in all prob
ability to excessively wet weather.
The scurfy bark louise may easily be
recognized by it's elongated, somewhat
pear-shaped form, the smaller end bear
ing minute yellow particle, the cast
skin of an early stage. The male scales
are elongated, with a small yellowish
pellicle at one end of much larger,
three-ridged white scale. They are fire.
quently crowded together In masses and
give an almost snowy-white appearance
to infested twtgs. The female scales,
when recent, are almost pure white, but
as they age dust and dirt collect upon
them and they soon become grayish.
The common name of scurfy bark louise
is bestowed on this species because Of
the scurfy, scale-like masses it forms
upon infested trees. The insect passes
the winter as purplish eggs under the
protecting mother scale, the young
appearing in this latitude the latter part
of May or early in June, and in Pennsyl-
vania probably about the middle of May.
Thorough spraying at the time the
young appear with whale-oil soap
solution or kerosene emulsion, using
one pound of the former to four gallons
of water or one part of the standard
emulsion to about seven gallons of wa
ter, should destroy most of the insects.
The San Jose scale is very different,
and may be at once distinguished from
the bark louise by its circular outline,
and also smaller size. The full-grown
female scale Of the scurfy bark louise
Is about one-tenth of an inch in length,
whereas that of the San Jose scale is
only one-sixteenth of an inch in dame
ter. The young scales of the latter spe-
cies are dark gray, sometimes almost
black, with distinct central nipple and
a grayish ring. A most characteristic
feature of this latter species, and one
which distinguishes it from other bark
lice having circular scale, is that the
green tissues of fruit, foliage and twigs
ore usually stained deep red or purple
in the immediate vicinity of the insect.
This species, unlike the scurfy bark
louise, passes the winter in a partly
grown condition, and does not begin
breeding until about the middle or lat
ter part Of June, and continues produc-
ing young. throughout the remainder
of the growing season. 1t is most sue
cessfully controlled therefore by the
application of winter sprays-materials
which are strong enough to kill the in
sects while still under the protecting
scales. Lime-sulphur washes appear to
be the most effectual of anything hith-
erto used for the destruction of this pest.

When the orchard Is set Is the time
to begin the treatment that is to be
continued from year to year. If the
cultivation of the orchard Is begun
early the roots will seek the depths OF
the soil from the first. and the culu-

year without doing them injury. If the
land Is not cultivated at all the surface
soil becomes filed with roots and in

that the first blow at absolute monarchy
was struck when the barons Of the

decided step in this direction was taken
in 1640 when the long parliament
triumphed over the king, and Cromwell,
after many victories in the field, con-

the people and condemned the king.
The execution of Charles l. in 1649

real freedom for the people, the sound
of which has not ceased to carry its
