N0te.-Of all things shoddy in Ian

shoddiest. 1t is often heard in answer
to the query 'How do you do?" "Oh I

that does not imply that he has CON-

PLANTATION OF the doctrines of the ter
rOrists, as if there were to be found
| in them some adequate excuse for his
crime. If the grand duchess found in
these teachings no consolation she at
any rate elected the information that
many revolutionists are members of
the Russian nobility. Russian aris-
tocracy, he told her, is honeycombed
with revolutionary adherents. At least
one was palace official in the cars

Such, it subsequently appeared, was
the undercurrent of revenge tn the
hearts Of Russians on the afternoon Of
February II, when sledge in which
two men We're seated shot out ahead
OF the grand dukes carriage as it was
passing through Senate square, Mos
| COW, on the way from the palace to the
kremlin. The sledge then slowed up,
allowing the carriage to pass, while
one of the men. dressed as workman,
peered earnestly into the dukes car
riase, into eyes that he knew. He was
a prince and in his hand was a bomb.
What occurred is best described by an
eyewitness:
The Senate square was deserted and
presented a melancholy appearance at
the moment when l entered it at a lit
tie before three o'clock. The snow was
deep and the weather lowering; some
! men were engaged in clearing the side
walks of the thick ice and snow which
covered them. had remarked moth
ing unusual and had not even noticed
the grand dukes carriage. which must
nevertheless have passed very close to
me.
''All at once, as was approaching
the entrance, was Mortified and al
most stunned by the most terrific ex-
plosion. The shock. which nearly threw
me OF my feet, lasted but the fraction
of second. AS soon as had recov-
cred my presence of mind, saw a yell
lowish column of smoke rising from
the ground, while there reached my
ears great crash of broken glass in
the direction of the arsenal. At the
same moment several people ran out
on to the square. I saw them look and
then run toward something in the
snow. I FASTENED my steps and per-
ceived a carriage drawn by q dying
horse. The impression was like a
frightful nightmare.
''The police had formed a circle

kept away the public, after making a

RICH TO LEARN MANNERS
The Falling Aristocracy Of Birth to
Teach of Aristocracy Of
Wealth.

Those who have little have much anu
these who have much have little-that
is the condition which the rapid trans:-
ton of circumstances has developed in
England, says a London special cable
to the New York World 1t is an impor-
tant moment in the history of the race,
for the English are changing manners.
The men who have been taught to
spend money are being. replaced BY
those who have been taught to make
money, and it is one of the most cruel
circumstances of the situation that
many of the former are earning their
livelihood by teaching the latter to live
in luxury. These thoughts have been
suggested by the following letter in a
London newspaper:
''S;r: l inclose my card, but not for
publication. You will see by it that
am younger son of Lord --, who in
herited large estate in the midland
counties, which have been in the posses
sion of the family for several centuries.
The extravaganza of my father, agri-
cultural depression, mismanagement
and large family made it necessary for
him to sell the estate, together with all
the contents of the house. The money
he obtained through the sale was COM
paratively little, for the property was
disposed of at an unfavorable moment.
and the sum I received at the death Of
my father only produces an income OF
some six hundred a year.
II have been carefully educated, first
at Elton and afterward at Oxford; l
belong to several of the most important
clubs in London, I know all the PROM
inent men and women in society and
am known to all the best tradesmen in
the West end, for l. have always dealt
with them and paid them.
1T has occurred to me to start 2
school for backward millionaires. Ny
wife and I are prepared to teach them
hGW to dress, how to behave, how to
pronounce words and names, how to
amuse themselves intelligently anal
whom to know and to avoid. We shall
teach them, so far as it can be taught,
the difference between good and bad
taste; we would train them to discrim-
mate between good and bad cooking,
wines and cigars; we will make them
understand the qualities horse should
have and tell them how their carriages
should be turned out and how to manage
their servants. In other words, we will
convey to them for fee of thousand d
year much of the information which we
have acquired by education and expert
!ence.'

FRENCH ABSlNTHE TOPERS
National Evil Growing to Such an Ex-
tent Authorities Are at Their
Wits End.

There are 5000 quarts of absinthe
swallowed by the citizens of Paris every
day in the year, and the national evil
Is growing to such an extent that the
authorities are at their wits end as to
how to battle with the problem. Tho
manufacturing of the deadly liquor ia
such profitable and respectable indus
try in France that any legislation
against it is out of the question Tha
interests that control the manufacture
OF the drink openly control the situation
politically, and in the face of the facts
the people are powerless. The popula-
ton is fast becoming depleted, the NOR
al standard of the country has degener-
ated to an alarming extent. and crime
and lnsldiOus evils of every character
have reached an amazing stage. Ths
cunning and the desire for the express
sion OF the vindictive spirity, character
lstlcs that follow the drinking of tho
green liquid as night follows day, are
fast becoming an integral part of the
French character of the middle class.
and the note of warning, though sound
| ed often now, seems to fall on deadened
| ears.
There comes an hour in the Parisian's
day when he has no need to consult his
watch to learn the time. and that is tina
so-called "heure d'absinthe." between
five and six in the afternoon. If it be
summed, a warm. half-sickish. half
sickish odor. not unlike paragoric, is
waiter to his nostrils or floats insidious-
ly in the air.
One-fifth of the population of the
| city drinking liquor that is univer-
sally condemned by the entire medical
| world! This seems large statement
but lit must be remembered that while
some take no drink at all, many take
single drink. and more two or three.
The figures given by the ministry OF
| finance show that little under 5000
quarts of absinthe are consumed a day
| in the city of Paris alone. and that the
| proportion is almost as much in the
provinces. 1t is estimated that in
France every day 5000 900 of population
drinks daily 10000 quarts of the liquid.
1t should be remembered also that there
are many drinks in quart bottle

SECOND CITY IN WORLD.
New York Expects. the State Census
& ]. Ito Give It That Position
y ! $ When Taken.

New York.-There is little doubt that
the state census will show that New
York city has population of AGO..
600, A forevast based upon the re.
suit of the last census indicates
that Manhattan Brooklyn together
will be found to have about
1870, 900, the Bronx about 325, 600
Queens about 100000, and Richmond
about 10000. The sum Of these appor-
,tionments Is 4,071, 900. The shrinkage
will hardly be so much that the total
will fall materially below 1000 900.
Il New York may not pass London and
become the largest city in the world, as
some enthusiasts prophesy, but it is
easy the second largest city on the
globe, having~taken that position from
Paris during the last few years. BY tina
census of 1901 Paris had population OF
2,174,000. 1t probably has not far, if at
all, passed 100000.
Berlin is growing with greater rela-
tive rapidity than Paris, having a pop
ulation of nearly 5000, 1000, but it would
be miracle if the German capital out
stripped New York during the next
quarter or half century. During recent
years this city has been gaining at the
rate of about three per cent per annum.
The housing of the yearly addition of
100000 to the population of the metrop-
oils has been very difficult problem,
but has been pretty well solved by the
multiplication of apartment-houses.
With the completion of tunnels and SUBJ
ways, new bridges, and new trolley
lines, a general movement to the sub.
urbs is expected, and probably will take
place, but nearly all of these desirable
suburban places are within the limits
Of greater New York.

CLUB NOTES.

Eagle Grove.-Dr. David Fl. Reeder,
Laporte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: We have
been reading the lectures in this paper
for some time, and enjoy them immense
ly. Some time ago you told how to cure
sweating feet. wish to say that tried
the remedy on our little boy, with
splendid results.
There are so many people who take
headache powders and tablets, etc.. and
l wonder if they know that by putting
their feet in hot water and keeping the
lower extremities warm and the head
cool, is almost sure cure for the worst
kind of headache. have seen it tried
many times. and always with success.
My only trouble is neuralgia in the
arms. One doctor told me it was caused
from heart trouble; but he offered no
suggestions for relief. The pain is worse
in the left arm, and some times the mid
die fingers of either hand cramps. The
pain is mostly in the elbows on the in
side of the arm and just where the arm
joins the body little forward of the
arm pit. will be very thankful if you

thank you for your interest in my
work, aud also for the suggestions
which you have made for the benefit of
others. If the pains in your arms and
joints come from defective circulation.
the difficulty could be overcome by the
use Of the tissue elements, the discoy-
cry of an old German doctor by the name
of Sthuessler. These elements cannot
harm you in any possible way. and be-
