RusslAs GOLD RESERVE.
The Imperial Bank . Nerit.bis
Treasure House.

Henry Norman. the well known Rus
sian traveller. who visited the Imperial
bank az II. Petersburg, describes In
the June Worlds Work the treasure
chamber rs follows:
The walls Of the apr rtment were
completely covered up to n height OF
about eight feet with shallow cup
boards with doors Of strong wire net
ting. leaving their contents plainly Wis
ible. each door being both padlocked
and seated. About five-siNtns OF these
cupboarls were completely filled ON
narrow shelves with ingots Of gold. the
ends of which made a lining OF gold
for nearly the length Of the room. The
light WAS reflected brightly from the
shining metal, ana the effect, needless
to say, was highly impressive. l felt
as If some fairy had conducted me to
one of the caves of gold | used TO read
about with awe as a child. The bal
ance sheet of the Bank of Russia for
March 30 stated the total gold reserve
i'm the bank to be as follows. Russian
gold coin, 23S.OOO.O00 rubles; foreign
gold coin. l42,OO0OO0 rubles; bullion
gold coin, 2O4OO0,OOO rubles; total,
5sI. 900, 900 rubles. or 1913, 100000.
The total gold reserve of Russia
reaches the imposing sum of l,OOO,OOO,-
600 rubles. or more than S5JO,OOO.OOO.
II is, of course, only comparatively
small part of this vast stock of the pre-
| cious metal that would be available
under any circumstances for a war
| fund This fund would come, In the
first place, from the reserve of gold |
saw. The currency law of Russia OF
1897 prescribes that up to GOOOOO,OOo
rrbles paper money may be issued with
gold reserve of only one-half its face
value, but that all subsequent issues
must be covered, ruble for ruble, by a
gold reserve Now there is nominal
circulation of paper money to the val
ne of GS0,0o0,O00 rubles, but of this
there are always at least 30,OOO,0OO tC
5OOOOOO0 in the bank; therefore the
effective circulation. of paper money
is not more than 6J0,OO0OO0, and OF
this, according to law, 350,000,0OO mus
be redeemable by fixed gold deposit
Deducting this sum from the $1,000,
600 of the fixed gold deposit. We have
100000 rubles Immediately availa
bic as war fund, and TO this can Ger
tainly be added large part of the golt
on deposit abroad, belonging, as ex
planned above, both to the state and t.
the Bank of Russia, the total being
say. 225.000. O00-say, an available sun
of 200,00O0O0, making a total war funt
Immediately available of 4S4,000,O0'
rubles or $225, 100000.

This wonder was created by Gusta-

Is very modest about claiming the hon

their creation to the wisdom of the in

The pansy has, from its advent in
the floral kingdom, been a favorite
with flower lovers on account of its
rich coloring and for its facelike bios

the pansy by the most fastidious was
that it was odorless, but now that the
fragrance of the sweet violet has been
added to its many good qualities it bids
to be more Of general favorite than

"All the hand had in creating the

A CULT FROM BAVARIA.
Views of Herr Drutschel, Apos-
tie of No Underclothing.
WEARS ONLY TROUSERS AND COAT
German Visitor to Introduce "A Meth
cd of Hardening the Body and
Avoiding Human Aflments-shfrt-
less Advocate Has Brought over a
Choice Lot of AphOrisms.

The most picturesque passenger who
arrived recently at New York on the
Kaiser Wilhelm III. from Bremen was
Herr Georg Drutschel of Lichtenfels,
Bavaria, the advocate of no under
clothing and no shirt, says the New
York World.
Herr Drutschel, who wears only
trousers and sack coat of homespun
gray, with pair of shoes and big
cane and a large black felt hat, is
bearded and long haired. He looks as
strong as giant. The topmost four
or five inches of his chest is bare, and
the skin, weather and sun hardened, is
as red as pumpkin.
Herr Drutschel has come over seas
to introduce his cult of hardening the
body, curing rheumatism, bad circula-
ton, shortness of breath and headache
by bathing, nourishment and nothing
but nature" as the sIiirtless advocate
terms his religion.
Herr Drutschel says he was i'll until
he was thirty years old, with various
doctors prescribing to no purpose, and
that he did not obtain health until he
shed, within six months, his overcoat
and flannel underclothing and took
cold baths in the open air.
Herr Drutschel has brought over a
choice assortment of his aphorisms,
among which are the following, trans
lated into his own quaint English:
"a large and well ventilated hall is
necessary to drink beer in. Do not re-
| main there long, but for several times
leave it and go out of doors to breathe
in fresh air"
THE more a person wraps himself
up in his clothes the thicker will be
the veil over his brain"
"A fresh good breeze is to the human
body like water; his flesh and marrow
become hard and full of strength, wa
| ter turns to ice"
| MANY men sacrifice rather their
health than their aches and pains"
Man ought TO be able to drink after
beer wine and vice versa-just so faI
as eating and weather are concerned
| III RAIN, SlOTlu Ut SuflSUllle always u

like a pine tree, green in summer as
well as in winter, we'll off in cold anG

THE best meal without sufficient

matter. Pure air is for the stomach

What "A "Sotnia" Is.

"A sotnla of Cossacks" has been fire.
quently referred to by correspondents
of late, and everybody perhaps does
not know what ''sotnia" is. 1t Is a
term which has a social as well as
military application and among tie
Cossacks means what hundred" in To-

England, says the New York Globe.
For war purposes the mounted Cos

strong and formed usually of six 'sot-

Whatcom county, Wash, has novel
plant for the making Of tar and tur-

of men engaged in taking up the roots
and stumps of fir trees that were cut
quarter Of century ago. These are
said to produce the best grades of gum
and pitch. The work promises to rev.

acres of logged off lands will be utiliz-
ed in supplying stumps for factories
that may be established in different
sections of the state. The work is
said to be profitable.

the wonder as to whether Jack would

doctors who prescribe wrong medicines.
Now, it happened once that auack
having been the means of killing the
only son of a certain house. the par

patched up by the worthy quack CIV

In return for the one he had killed.
Not long after this event, the said
quack heard a loud knocking at his
door one night. On going to the door
he was Informed that one of his neigh

that his presence was required at once

"She wants her trunk out of the at
tic said Lucinda.
.Then she'll get her trunk out OF
the attic. When does she want it?
'She wants it now
Then she'll get it now said
Joshua. And from this it will readily
be OWNED why he had been in Aunt
Marys employ for thirty years, and
always been characterized by her as
"a most sensible man.
Later that afternoon-the trunk hav-
ing been brought down, and Aunt
Mary's mind being quite made up
Joshua drove into town (amidst a
wealth of mud spatters) and dispatched
the answer to Jacks letter. Aunt
Mary was urged to haste by several
considerations, some well defined and
others not so much so. To Lucinda she
impaired her terrible anxiety over the
dear boys health, but not even to her
self did she admit her much more ter
rible anxiety lest Arethusa or Mary
should suddenly appear and insist on
accompanying her. She wanted to go
alone. and she wanted to bad.
Jack telegraphed a response that
night, and his aunt left by the Monday
morning train. She had six o'clock
breakfast, and drove into town at a
quarter OF nine so as to be absolutely
certain not to miss it. Joshua drove,
with the trunk perched beside him. 1t
was a small and unassuming trunk, but
Aunt Mary was not one who believed
in putting on airs just because she was
rich.

Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higgin-

other day:
-It seems that the criticism most APP
