RUSSIAN WOMEN.
The Many Restrictions to Which
They Are Now Subjected.

They Are Now Subjected.
1t is difficult for an American to un
derstand that freedom as we know it
does not exist in Russia. There the le
gal position of woman is far from sat
isfactory. She hardly ever belongs to
herself, but is always under the tute
lage of some one.
AS daughter the Russian woman Is
under the entire control of her parents.
Her coming of age does not alter her
position. She simply changes the au
thority of her parents for the no less
rigid authority of her husband. AS the
Russian statute puts it, zone person
cannot reasonably be expected to fully
satisfy two such unlimited powers as
that Of husband and parent"
The unlimited power of the parent Is
withdrawn and that of the husband
substituted. She cannot leave her lord
even to visit neighboring town with
out pass" from him. He names the
time she is permitted to stay, and at
the end Of that time she is bound to re-
turn to get the pass renewed.
A husband may appear in court of
law as a witness against his wife, but
wife is not allowed to appear against
her husband A woman's evidence in
Russia is always regarded as Of less
weight than that of a man.-Harper's
Weekly.

THE HUDSON RIVER.
Who Was the Real DiscOverer OF
This Picturesque Streamf

Who Was the Real Discoverer of
This Picturesque Streamf
No Dutch or English man can affirm
the discovery of the Hudson river.
VerraZzano must have distanced Hud-
sons archives by nearly a hundred
years. However, the Dutch and Eng
lish liaison in the matter is close. Hud-
son is appropriated by Dutch minds
and has Holland tradition round him.
He came in q Dutch yacht called the
Half Moon in 1909. His sailors were
Hollanders and Englishmen. He rep
resented a Dutch East India company
on its way to find the much sought
for northeast passage to India. He
explored the Hudson, going as far as
the little town that bears his name,
and he himself has been transmitted
to posterity with such blended and
mixed traditions as to constitute him
we'll nigh a half breed in peoples
minds.
The names of the river are varied.
1t has been called Manhattan, the
North river, the Great river, the
Mauritas and in the year 1916 bore
legally for some length Of time the
name Riviere Van den Worst Moritias.

DEFY HARD LUCK.
A Few Bits of Wholesome Advice
For the Pessimists.

A Few Bits of Wholesome Advice
For the Pessimists.
Don't talk about your hard luck.
Refuse to recognize it. Refuse to be-
ueve in it. Scorn to whine about it.
Get the whine out of your voice, or it
will stop the development and growth
Of your body. 1t will narrow and
shrink your mind. 1t will drive away
your friends. 1t will make you unpop-
ular. Quit your whining; brace up; go
to work; be something; stand for some
thing; fill your place in the universe.
Instead of whining around, exciting
only pity and contempt, face about and
make something of yourself. Reach up
to the stature of strong, ennobling
womanhood, to the beauty and strength
Of a superb womanhood. There Is
nothing the matter with you. Just quit
your whining and go to work.
If you continually talk about your
bad luck and moan about your i'll for
tune, you create for yourself an atmos-
phere of misfortune which will certain
ly overwhelm you unless you stop in
time.
The man or woman who persistently
fears that such and such thing is not
going to turn out we'll is enlisting pow
erful forces against success.-Boston
Traveller.

Men with Boards.

What vast difference there is be-
tween one beard and anotheri There
Is the long, untrammeled beard, broad
If it were an infant. Men with such
boards may, think, as rule, be trust
ed rather more than other men. Can
you imagine a Venetian doge or a
member of the council of ten without
a beard? l cannot. If you have seen
a man Of mark fondle his long beard
during the processes of reflection you
will be apt to wonder whether or not
his mind would lose its equilibrium if
he were in the night to be shaven clean

The Licorice Plant.

The licorice plant resembles a rose
with a single green stem, reaches a
height of about three feet and bears a
small purple star shaped flower. The
first years root growth resembles a
loosely twisted string of tow and may
run to twenty feet in length. The Sec
ond year it assumes a woody sub
stance when dry, and the third year it
acquires its commercial value. The
time for digging the root Is the win
ter, when it is dried and crushed un-
der heavy stones drawn round on it by
mules, much as olives are crushed to
extract their oil.

Franz Abt's Companion at Dinner.


Franz Abt, the famous composer,
was strolling home one afternoon in
Brunswick when he met a friend, who
said to him:
"You seem very happy, dear fellow.
Have you heard any good news?"
"Oh, no; I've just taken dinner" was
the reply.
"You evidently enjoyed it. What did
you have to eat?" continued the friend.

is without due consideration of the fact
that the French law admits an interfer-

which would not be tolerated in Great

NEW POINT RAISED.
Baldwin's Famous Courthouse Fight is
 Up Again.

Bay Minette. Sept. 30-(Special)- Florence Richardson, 2-year-old negro child. was yesterday afternoon the cause of a new point in Baldwin's famous court house fight. Though the first term of court was held at Bay Minette the latter part of October, 1901, and all courts have been regularly held here since that time. there was never, until yesterday. any objection raised in any court by any attorney in regard to Bay Minette being the legal county seat. Gregory L. and H. T. Smith and Hon. James H. Webb, all attorneys for Daphne, have had cases tried here, but not one of them entered an objection as to the legality of the county seat removal. At o'clock yesterday there was case of habeas corpus called in Probate Court to decide who should be the custodian of the little negro child. The plaintiff announced ready. The attorney for the defendant arose and in reference to the county seat question, said: T desire 70 register an objec- tton against the hearing of this cause at this place" Probate Judge J. H. H. Smith went ahead with the case as If no objection had been made.
