TRIBUTE TO FAIR RUSSIANS
Muscovite Declares That They Com
bine the German and French
in Their Nature,

A Russian paid the following
glowing tribute to the women Of
his native land:
"The woman of Russia combines
the vivacity and wit of the French
woman with the industry and
thrift for which the women of Ger.
many are famous.
"She is a superb wife and
neither, and @!thaai 9 G:GGc :Gac zen e: /!
worker. The Russian girl stu
dent is generally in the front rank
at the universities.
DOUBTLESS some Of her fine
qualities are due to the fact that
in Russia women are free, and in
every respect considered to be the
equals of men.
Russian women are born poll
ticians and diplomats, and SO in
tensely patriotic that they es-
TEEN no sacrifice, too great for
their country. Hence as revOlu-
tiOnaries-howeyer misguided
they are infinitely more daring
and devoted than the men. Secrets
have been wrung from male reyO-
lutionaries by torture, but never
from the women.
"The woman who lately offered
to raise an army of AmazOns to
fight the japanese was thoroughly
in earnest, and had permission
been given thousands of Russian
women would have followed herr

POWER OF OCEAN WAVES
Their Enormous Momentum During
Heavy Gale at Sea Is
Often Felt.

At the international engineer.
ing congress recently held in Sf.
Louis. some unusual figures We're
given on the subject Of the
height and power of ocean
waves, particularly as regards
their effect upon harbor works,
saws the Scientific American.
In the course of a paper deal
ing with the new Dover harbor, i
was stated that since these works
have been in progress, no wave OF
greater height than 10 feet has
been recorded fact which will
be very surprising to those who
have experienced the miseries OF
the er-Calais passage. The fact
is the more remarkable because at
the entrance to the Tyne waves
from 80 to 40 feet high have been
measured, and the last-named
height has also been observed at
Peterhead.
In dwelling upon the necessity
for what are known as spending
beaches and wave traps, for dissi
pating and controlling wave ac-
ton, it was stated that the depth
to which the latter extends is now
known to be much greater than
was commonly supposed. Proof
of this is shown by the fact that
lobster pots placed in from 120 TO
$50 feet of water have been found
to be filled with sand and shingle
after a heavy gale; moreover,
sand has been found deposited
after a heavy gale in the gallery
of the Bishop Rock lighthouse, the
latter being 100 feet above the
water, and the depth of the water
at that point $50 feet.
That the water, even at cOnsid
cradle depths, must be moving
during a gale with great mo
mentum is shown by the fact that
at the Peterhead breakwater
blocks weighing Al tons and locat-
ed over 36 feet below spring tide
low water were displaced during a
storm, while a section of the
breakwater weighing $500 tons
was moved bodily for few inches
without the brickwork being dis.

GINGER IS THEIR Triple.
Victims al the Habit become Pitiable
Wrecks ia Time-A Few
Instances.

The taking Of ginger, in the form
Of essence or strong tincture, Is re
vealed by a medical man as a grow
ing form Of inebriety bothin Eng
land and America.
AS it's alcoholic strength Is
about double that Of whisky or
brandy, the deleterious results OF
excessive indulgence can be mag
ined.
There is one recorded case IN
which the daily dose Of victim OF
"gingerism" was increased from
ten drops to pint in the course Of
three years. Though the habit is
more practiced in the United
States than in England, there are
numbers of chemists in London
who admit that they have regular
customers for the pungent es
sence, who buy comparatively
large quantities every week.
The cause of the habit is nearly
always the same. "Gingerists"
are people with weary brains and
disordered stomachs whoseek pal
liation of the results of overworK.
They know that such drugs as
morphia, chloral, cocaine and
chloroform are accumulative In
their effect upon the human sytem,
they know also that ginger was
the homely remedy of their youth
for stomachic troubles.
1t seems incredible, but it is
fact, that from the taking Of a few
drops Of this powerful carmina
tive for indigestion "gingerisf
will grow into the habit of taking
large doses, as q tonic, a sedatiye
and a palliative.
SO far inquiries show that WON
en- are as much addicted to "gin
gerism" as men, but the actual vic
tins are difficult to trace, as the es-
sence of ginger is easily purchas
a ole in any chemists shop by child
or grOwn-up person.
at must be very vitiated taste
that can endure large doses of tine
ture of ginger" said a Wholesale
chemist. But, of course, the same
can be said of most violently act
ing drugs. Once there is partic
llar physical demand created for
A particular stimulant, the palate
Is disregarded. 1t is the result
which is looked forward to, not the
impression. In this
at least the ordinary
alcoholic drinker is more sane
than the morphine taker or gin
gerist.' he may put that in his
which steals away his
brains, but at least he gets some
physical sensation of pleasure in
the operation. 'Gingerism' is de

The result Of the practice seems !

aimed at. A doctor said that this !
form of inebriety, after giving re
lief at first, completely disorders
the stomach and gives no relief to !
a busy brain.

Stir up Religious Hatred.

The Moscow Gazette, the Leading reac-
tionary organ in Russia, has begun a
bitter war against religious liberation, ar
guing that it will wine ont orthodoxy in
the non-orthodOx sections Of the country.
The paper declares that $50, 900 Rus
slams in Poland will come under the in
fluence of Roman Catholicism if the
Catholics are permitted to proselyte.
''The ukase has already had deplorable
effect on the Russian mujiks," says the
Gazette, "among whom stories are cur
rent that the Emperor is under the in
fluence of the Pope. 1t is even said that
the Emperor will become Catholic, and
that the mujiks who do not desire to be
converted to Catholicism will be trans
ported and compelled to live in three
provinces" The paper concludes ::
"This is not religious war, but a Russo
Polish national battle"
The Novoe Vremya yesterday morn
ing attacked what itterms the ''insatisble
demands of the Jews" who, the paper
declares, care exploiting Russia for the
benefit of their pockets, but do not show
a particle of patriotism. being the real
instigators of the revolutionary move

West Orange, N. j., has ghost
scare. The wrath is making its head
quarters at 10 Ashland avenue, and is
completely equipped and self-contained,
1t pulls off bed clothing and the occu-
pants out of bed. 1t plays ragtime on
the piano and rattles the dishes in the
pantry. All the children in the neigh
borhood are wearing heavy wool stock
ings, and Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Fer
rel, the occupants Of the house, have
moved out.
Twice within week have the police
been summoned to eject the ghost. Early
Sunday morning an urgent summons for
help came from the Ferrel residence, aud
Policeman Mcdonald was sent TO the
scene. The trouble this time seemed
to have ceutered in the room OF MIR. and
Mrs. William Kane, a young married
couple. They. complained TO Mcdonald
that their room had been invaded by
the ghost, who bad jerked the covers Oft
the bed.
Mcdonald started to look for the ban
shee. He is convinced he found it in
the front room, for he stepped on some
thing soft, which emitted an unearthly
yell. Mcdonald says it was the ghost.
He hurried back to the police station,
forgetting his helmet.
The Kanes have moved to neighbor-
ing house.
