and keeping each in doubt as to just what the others are aiming at.
 The present Car, however, will go down in history as man far in ad- vance of his surroundings and greatly superior to the system of government which he has done so much to better. Hindered as he has been, he has inau. gurated several reforms. He succeeded in abolishing the harshest of former punishments, such as castigation with cudgels and cat-onine-tails inflicted on persons eXiled to penal settlements or to the mines; in the rural districts he has replaced military rule by local police; he has declared religious free. dom in the Russian domain; and now, greater than any of these reforms, he has abolished by imperial decree the condemning of political prisoners by administrative order. No longer may the governors and administrators of q province or district send political suspect to Siberia or to prison without the intervention of the courts or the right to hearing. Persons accused of political crimes (and these are often innocent men against whom the rulers have a grudge, or whom they have reason to fear) must in future be tried in open court, with full rights to de fense.

How to Dig Your Bait.

Choosing piece of chocolate col ored, rich lc2king soil, the woodcOck dug some fifteen or twenty holes in this soil, an inch or two apart, with his bill. Then he began kind of cake walk. He beat the earth with his wings; he rapped it with his bill sharp ly; leaping into the air, he alighted, stiff and heavy, on his feet.
 Was the woodcock insane? Evident ly not. For now the noses of many in- qusitive earthworms began to pro- trude from the holes the bird had drilled. The earthworms had heard the noise and they wished to know what the trouble was. They turned their heads slowly from side to side. The woodcock devoured them, one by one.
 That is the way woodcocks get earthworms to eat, and fishermen may learn a lesson from the birds. If a fisherman will make number of holes in the soil and then beat upon the earth with his knuckles the worms un- derneath will come up through the holes to find out what is going on, and their capture will be easy.
