REsCRIPT DANGEROUS
Effort TO Quiet the Peasants May Make
Them Worse.
CREATES SPECIAL COMMISSION,
The Creation of This New Commits
sion Sounded the KneII of the Old
Witte Commission, Which Is Stimuli
taneously Abolished.

st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE i'm
perial rescript addressed to the Min
lister of Interior Bouligan, creating
a special commission under his presi-
dency to discuss conditions under
peasants tenure of lands, touched
on the grave perils involved in the
spreading peasant agitation, which
threatens not only the big estates but
the imperial domains. The instruc-
lions in the rescript to work out a
system clearly marking off peasant
land from the land of other owners,
90 in order to inculcate in the people
perception of property ownership, -
amounts to an imperial refutation of
the stories current among the peas
ants that the emperor had decreed a
new division of the land. 1t is fear
ed, however, it may have exactly the
contrary effect to the one desired
among the ignorant peasantry, and
that shrewd agitators will be able
to employ the rescript bearing up
on the general subject of the increase
of peasant lands as being a confirma-
ton instead of a denial of the re-
ports that the agitators had previous
ly circulated about the emperor's in
tention to re-district the land Two
methods of relief are proposed by the
rescript-the purchase of additional
land by the aid of a peasants bank
and the colonization of Siberia.
The creation of the new commits
sion sounded the knell of the old
White commission, which is stimuli
taneously abolished. NJ. Whites COM
mission, which was of a much broad
er character covering all questions
relating to peasant administration,
created a tremendous stir two years
ago, being the signal for much of
the outspoken criticism of the pres
ent regime on the Part of the emst-
vos. An immense amount of ma
terial was collected by the commits
sion, but it's work became so confus
ed and accomplished so little that its
passing away has aroused no regret.
But the supplanting of one commits
sion by another serves to emphasize
the criticism of the liberals in re-
gard to the futility of reforms con-
Quoted by bureaucratic commissions.
The government claims, however.
that as the work of the new commits
sion is being restricted solely to the
question of devising means for sup
plying the peasants with additional
land it should speedily accomplish
something. Nevertheless, in quar-
tiers familiar with the situation among
the peasants. serious doubts are ex-
pressed as to whether the rescript
will have an appreciable effect in al
laying the Agrarian agitation.

An American Puzzle.

DIR. Lorenz, of bloodless surgery
fame, cannot understand how Amer
leans enjoy fair health on a diet that
would depopulate any other country.
"The pies, puddings, sauces and in
Vulnerable other dishes, most Of
which are unhealthful in the extreme,
partaken of by young and old alike
in America, have caused me to won
der" says DR.. Lorenz, that the peo-
pie are not physical and constitutions
al wrecks"
The secret is to be found in the
simple, hardy lives of the forefathers
of the present generation. Their Wig
orous health has bestowed upon the
grandchildren wonderful constitution
al vigor. But the change from the
simple to the luxurious is working
havoc. The rising generation have
sQuandered the constitutional capital
bequeathed to them and are rapidly
becoming physical bankrupts. A halt
must be called and the simple habits
resumed or the prophecy of DR.. Lo-
REM will surely be realized.

a sad commentary on our modern CIV
ilization.
In Copenhagen it is the custom to
dress young schoolgirls so that their
arms are almost or entirely bare, even
in weather when Americans appre
ciate their overcoats. This practice
necessarily chills the blood, and tends
to produce congestion of the internal
organs, and undoubtedly lays the
foundation for colds, pneumonia and
tuberculosis.
tuberculosis is making sad havoc
among the urban population of Nor
way. 1t is pitiful to note how this
plague is decimating this once hardy
race. Sedentary life, indoor confine.
ment and defective ventilation are
undoubtedly the most prolific causes,
for fifty per cent of the tubercular
cases make satisfactory recovery
when they are sent to some outdoor
sanitarium; and what will cure a con-
sumptive would certainly have pre-
vented the onset of the disease.
The liquor curse is undermining the
physical stamina of the Swedish race.
Liquor drinking among the working
classes is almost universal. One
third of their population die before
the age of twenty-one, and one-fourth
of those who live, are rejected from
military service on account of phys
ical disqualifications.

Natures great disinfectant is sun
light. 1t is a most interesting fact
that this wonderful light, which pro-
notes the growth of useful plants and
sustains animal life, at the same time
destroys by its very brightness all
sorts of germs which are brought in
contact with it. 1t is this fact alone
which renders the earth inhabitable.
Germs develop with such marvellous
rapidity that they would quickly over
whelm us by their very numbers if
not constantly destroyed by the sun.
A little computation will readily show
this. Some germs are capable of such
rapid multiplication that they may
double every fifteen minutes under
favorable conditions of temperature
and food supply. Estimate the num-
Der of germs which might be pro-
duced in a single day of twentyfour
hours, or ninety-six doublings. The
number would be more than thirty
two thousand billion billions, or suf-
ficient to cover eighty thousand
space of more than fifteen cubic
miles. The increase of a minute or
ganism occupying a cubic space of
not more than one twenty-thousandth
of an inch to such prodigious magni-
tude is beyond comprehension, and
practically cannot occur; for while
the germ may grow at this immense
rapidity for short time, the poisons
which it produces become destructive
to itself. The material upon which it
feeds is also exhausted, so that its
growth ceases.
Doubtless all have noticed the fact
that mold grows during the night and
in dark, damp cellars. Bright sun
light quickly destroys germs, mold,
and other parasitic organisms. Diff
fused daylight does not act nearly so
rapidly, but accomplishes in the
course of few hours what bright
sunlight is capable of doing in a few
minutes. 1t is clearly evident, then,
that in order that our houses should
be kept free from germs, they, like
our bodies, should be made full of life.
The shutters should be opened, the
curtains raised, and the light admit
ted to every room in the house, clos
cts included, so that the disinfecting
power of light may be exercised in
every nook and corner of the dwell
ing.
