RUSSIAN LIQUOR MONOPOLY
Revenue from Taxes Amounts to a
Large Sum in the Course
Of Year.

The two purposes Of Minister Witte
in establishing government monop-
oily OF the liquor traffic in Russia were
to diminish drunkenness by making 1t
more difficult to obtain intoxicants,
and to increase the revenues, states
the Philadelphia Ledger. The time is
still too short to determine fairly the
effect Of the system on inebriety, but
there has been positive financial
gain to the government 1t cost $751;
100000 from 1893 to 1901 to put the
scheme in operation. During that
time the income from the business
covered not only this outlay, but also
the running expenses, the rebates Of
duty (more than $17OOO,00O), and the
46,00000 donated to temperance So
cieties, and left surplus of sS50,000,
In the year 1901 the receipts from the
traffic were $S1, 100000 and the current
expenses were $62.500,000, leaving a
net profit of $l9,200,O0O. In addition,
the tax on liquor returned $1OS, 100000.
The years sales from the government
stores amounted to 1873, 1000 900 gallons.
The moral effect of the monopoly is
less apparent In 1899 there were 1O,-
234 government stores for the retail
sale of liquors, and there we're discov-
cred 9.203 Illicit stores or speak
easies." The peasant members Of the
conference in the district of Saratoff |
declared that there is no apparent de-
crease of drunkenness, and that, as
there are no drinking saloons, the |
people get drunk openly in the
streets; that the secret and Illegal sale
Of liquors is extending, and that the
rural communities have lost the con-
siderable revenue formerly derived
from saloon licenses.

At midnight recently a policeman

Land Of Twins and Triplets.

Scotland is the land Of twins and
triplets. holding a long lead over her
sister countries in this matter. In u
months no fewer than 1,625 mothers
gave birth to twins and 25 presented
triplets. Scotland is among the few
countries Of Europe where the proper
ton Of male babies is greater than Of
females. Striking an average, it is
found that there are about 104 males
to every 100 females. but the sur
plus Of grown-up girls is nevertheless
large, as so many men travel south
and apparently neglect to take the pre-
caution to obtain return tickets to
the land Of cakes There is yet an
other interesting fact about Scotland.
1t is the land of the hale old age. Re

year 67S people died between the ages

The continual soaking that the ground has been getting for month past displayed effect yesterday in se- rious way for the E./P. & s. w., when caving commenced in the tunnel be- tween Osborn and Douglas.
 The first cave occurred early in the morning. It was of slight import ance, the crew of No. being able to clear away the track so that the train could get through. Shortly after the train had passed considerable DOT tion of the roof of the tunnel fell down. Immediately on discovery a clearing crew was sent for and put to work. It had the debris about cleared away when a second fall from the roof oc- cured, some dirt also being reported to have come from the sides of tbe tunnel at this time.
